London, March 16.-Events are NOV
ing in the South African campaign in
speedy and satisfactory manner
from both the military and political
points OF view. 1t could hardly have
been expected by the most sanguine
Engilshnlen that they would take o
turn SO favorable. 1t appears that
when Maj. Weston cut the railway
north Of Bloenfontein he thereby in
tercepted Gen. Joubert, who, far from
having retired from the campaign, was
then coming southwark with 300C
men. presumably to superintend the
defense. Elaborate defense works
three miles long had been prepared
outside the town.
No Boer wounded were left IL
BlOemfontein. When asked the reason
by Lord Roberts, Mr.. Frazer replied
'"The burghers do not like fish, and
would not care TO go to Cape Town"
The evidence goes to show that so far
as the southern part of the Free State
is concerned, there will be no further
resistance. 1t is understood that Mr..
Frazer, Mr. Vessels and other lead
ers are quite prepared to accept the
position OF selfgoverning British
colony.
The cheers which greeted the read

are entertained of such
conduct as Mr.. White is said to have

not believe the Beers will be so fool
ish.
BY the time Lord Roberts reaches
the yaal river he will command some
$4,000 men. while Gen. Butler will
have 10000. From the military point
of view the critics now think there is
nothing to fear.

BEES AND GRAPES.
The HOney-Makers Suck the Juice of
the Ripe Fruit Only After 1t
Has Burst Open.

The question whether bees pune
lure grapes has been discussed from
various stanGpoints for a good many
years, and the conclusions reached by
most thinkers and investigators on the
subject are that bees do not puncture
grapes, but suck the juice of grapes
only after they have been burst open or
been bitteI by birds. Prof. Il. l.. Tay-
lor, of the Michigan experiment sta
ton, has conducted some experiments
that would seem to put the question
at rest. His observations were hat
the bees worked only on the Delaware
and Lady grapes, varieties that burst
open badly in wet seasons Prof. Tay-
lor placed 1000 sacks on clusters of
Il different varieties of grapes SO hat
the bees could not get at them. To-
ward the close of the experiment it
was found hat the grapes inclosed in
sacks were suffering more than those
hat were left uncovered, and many of
the grapes had burst open. The eX-
perimenter concluded that the sucking
away of the juice of the grapes by the
bees is a direct benefit rather than an
injury, in that these juices are pre-
vented from flowing upon sound
grapes, and thus increasing the amount
of the injury by the cracking of the
skip.-Farmers' Voice.

An IrrigatinE Scheme in Egypt That

Profitable.

Everybody who knows anybody

Der of the bar whose wealth precludes
necessity for practicing in the courts.
By those who profess to know his fnan-
cial resources, he is rated a millionaire.
The 400 recognize him as n of those

ence of the one figure and two ciphers
supposed to represent all that is best

city he has earned that distinguished
title of man-about-town. Sometimes
Mr.. Whitehouse is referred to as an
Psychologist, and so he is, but in a
limited and utilitarian way. He has a
dream. 1t has Occupied his waking a.

quickly as possible. You see, years ago
Iobtained documentary evidence that in
the Lybian desert there was a decided
depression, which could be utilized TO
reclaim not only the desert, but also
much of the surrounding country. To
convince myself of the verify of the
statements in the documents l went to
the desert in 1882. Typographical sur
veys confirmed them in every partic-
ular. o
"This depression is Go miles above
Cairo. 1t is opposite Benisuer, a town
on the Nile, and distant from it but ten
miles. 1t includes $50 square miles Of

WHAT SCIENCE TEACHES

Pigs milk is under discussion In the
French chamber of deputies, a petition
having been sent to it asking that its
use may be permitted as nourishment
for babies. Some doctors favor it.
Clouds that move in q contrary d.
rection to that of the surface current
indicate a change Of weather, because
they prove the existence of two air
currents, one warm and the other cold,
and the mingling of these frequently
causes rain.
Poisonous snakes when with young
are sluggish and retiring in their hab-
its. The little ones are born with
fangs and poison glands in full per-
lection, and are dangerous even be-
fore tasting food or water. The young
are much more active than the adults
and probably their poison is more vir-
ulent.
NJ. Henri Coupon has been expert
menting with the action of anaesthet-
les on seeds. He shows that they do
not injure the grain, but the insects
that attack it are destroyed. Chloro-
form is recommended. The grain is,
however, very sensitive to all ana
sthetic vapors, which retard their ger
mination or kill them.
In Siam the liquid measure used is
derived from a cocoanut shell which
Is capable Of holding $50 tamarind
seeds, and 20 of these units equal a
capacity of a wooden bucket. In dry
measure, $50 tamarind seeds make one
"k'anahn," and 25 k'anahn" make one
sat-" or bamboo basket; so "sat"
make one "kwien," or cart. This is
an example of the primitive origin of
most units of weights and measures.

A small-sized dry goods box. not so
large but it can be easily carried, is
fixed with n trap door, which is attached
to a lever connected with a trigger in
UGH a manner that when sprung the
door will drop. The box can be carried
with its captive to a safe distance,
where the odor will not be disturbing,
and the prisoner shot or dispatched by
a trusty dog.
The illustration shows the trap ready
set. The trap door, a, is attached to a
lever, b, which rests on a fulcrum at C.
The other end of the lever is + fastened to
the trigger, d. The trigger passes
through the top of the box, the notch,

the box, which should be large enough
to give plenty of play. The trigger
stick should be long enough to reach
within an inch of the bottom of the box.

NAMES CAUSE CONFUSION.
Quite a Batch of COnEressmen Bear
ing Common Family Des-
~iGnatiOns.

The members of the present congress
are in danger occasionally of falling
into the mistake of Little Butercup, and
"miX those children up," for there is an
unusual number of congressman whose
names lead to confusion. There are
six Smiths in the bouse-three from
Michigan and n each from Kentucky,
Maryland and Illinois. There are three
Wilson's and three Williamses, two of
them from Illinois. The two Wheelers
have little trouble at present, because
"Fighting Jo," of Alabama, has not re-
turned from the Philippines, and the
two Robertses get along well enough,
because Mr.. Roberts, of Utah, is not On
the roll call. and Mr.. Roberts, of Mass
achusetts, is. The two Thomases, one
from Iowa, who thwarted a diamond
thief in the capital the other day, and
one from North Carolina. have to watch
each other on the roll call, fox they are
of opposing political faiths, as are tie
two Youngs, m from Pennsylvania
and the other from Virginia. The three
Stewards, from New Jersey, New York
and Wisconsin respectively, are all re-
p%ublicans, as are Boutell, of Illinois,
and Boutelle, of Maine.
There are several other cases of SIM
liar names-Nortons, Henrys, Moodys,
Pierces, Packers, Meyers, Joneses,
Greens, Gardeners, Aliens, Baileys,
Burkes, Clarks, Claytons, C~ockrans,
Coopers, Davenports, Gilletts and Fitz-
geralds that bother the members in
voting. Tie most recent instance is
with the Rheas. of Kentucky and Viz
ginia. Mr.. Rhea. of Virginia, is the
tall, slender statesman who succeeds
Gen. James A.. Walker. He has the
courage of his convictions, and voted
against the Tayler resolution to refer
the case of Mr.. Roberts, of Utah, be-
fore he was sworn in, but his name was
confused with Mr.. Rhea, of Kentucky,
and in some ann he was placed on
the wrong side of the Congressional
Records columns.-Chicago Chronicle.
