"A curious theory has recently been ad-
vanced by the eminent but somewhat
eccentric scientist, Gustav Blattner, OF
Vienna. He believes In the existence of a
cosmical powder or dust which he claims
IL continually falling from space, and
which is the dust or remains Of worlds
which have been destroyed. Some of these
worlds. he says. may have been so far
away that the dust or remains OF them
which Is now raining down on the world
in the shape Of fine powder has been a
million years in traversing the space pc
tween us and what was once that de-
stroyed worlds orbit.

saIlrbury i1as Not Apologies.

London, March 2s.-The re-
port published in. the United
States, that Lord Salisbury has
apologized for the opening of
American consular mail in South
Africa is untrue. Nothing what
ever has passed between the two
governments on this matter, and
the British premier has taken
no action to investigate the ale
cations of Chas. E. Macrum, for
mer consul of the UEited States
at Pretoria, nor has he been re-
quested to do so. A printed fac
smile of a letter TO Mr.. Macrum
alleged to have been opened, was
given to Lord Salisb ury by a
representative of the Associated
Press, but he made no comment,
nor did he direct that anything
be done.

ant Developments May be Looked
for-Britons Trust in Roberts.

LONDON, Marcn zI.-W nat
Lord Roberts is doing nobody in
London knows, and-such is the
magic of success-pobody is
complaining very Justify over
the want of knowledge. 1t is
even said that the war Office is
in total ignorance of the plan the
commander-in-chief has made
for his advance.
That Important developments
may beslooked for before great
while, however, is certain.
A strong column is now NOV
ing on Griqualaud.
1t would seem that the Beers
areactively intrenched at Kroon-
stad and are preparing to make
a stand there in the hope that
Roberts will attempt a frontal.
attack. Their problem is a
difficult one. If they do not
make a stand there for battle
they virtually abandon the whole
of the Orange Free State. If
they offer resistance in force
they run q serious risk, since
Lord Roberts has now fully i0,-
600 mounted men to use in a
thanking or turning movement,
while he has at least $4,000
infantry to spare for a direct
attack.
The Beers in Natal appear to
be falling back from the Biggars..
berg range at Lang's Mex. 1t is
a question whether there are
more than 10000 burghers in
Natal at present. The main
force of the republics seem to be
concentrated at Kroonstad,
where reenforcements from the
north have arrived.
1t is not likely that Gen. Butler
will attempt to make a move
until Lord Roberts is ready. An
advance in Natal would be a
sign that the commander-ln-chief
is again prepared to move.
The pacification of the south
ern half of the Free State is
evidently not yet complete.
Some of the dispatches from
English correspondents indicate
that when Gen. Pole-Carew and
the guards went down the rail,
way to Springfontien and met
Gatacre the farmers close to the
railway submitted and gave up
their arms, but that on either
side of this belt there were great
tracts of territory where British
rule is not yet acknowledged.
General Clemens has occupied
Philopplis, but at Fauresmlth q
Boer force is intrenched and
still defiant.
Between General French at
, Thaba Nchu and General Bra
brant at louisville is a very
broken country in which Olivier
and his commando of an un,
known strength, estimated by
some to comprise as many as
: 5000 men, are moving.
There seems to be no doubt,
moreover, that bodies of Boer.
. are close to Roberts front, anC

THE TRICKY TURK.

The sultan wants to help civilize China
and offers an army corps to help In the
work. The sultan is humorous when he
does not mean to be.-Pittsburg Times.
Now that the sultan has bought an au-
tomobile and intends to run It himself
maybe Uncle Sam can collect that debt
out of the life insurance.-Denver Repub-
lican.
The sultan wants nothing In politeness.
His message of congratulation to Presi-
dent Mckinley is a model Of suavity.
Can the president have the heart to con-
tnue pressing for payment Of that little
bill ?-Boston Herald.
The unspeakable Turk has fooled all
Europe for century. 1t would be a great
relief to have him brought up with q
round turn by America, just as the pf-
rates of Tripoli, who collected tribute
from the great nations Of Europe. were
brought to terms by our adventurous sea
men nearly a century ago.-Philadelphia
