Mormon Explorlns PartH.

Dispatches from Salt Lake City re-
port a very unusual development OF
Mormon enterprise. A Mormon scien-
tifc exploring expedition recently set
out for a fifteen months exploring
trip to Mexico and Central and South
America. The company is made up of
twenty students Of Brigham Young
Academy. in charge of President Cluff
Of the academy and two members Of
the faculty. The general purpose OF
the expedition Is to search for ruined
cities, photograph their remains, and
to collect botanical, archaeological and
anthropological specimens. Besides
this 1t has a special religious errand.
The Book Of Mormon, 1t seems, claims
to be q record of the ancient inhabi-
Gants of America, from the time Of the
Tower Of Babel to the fifth century Of
the Christian era. The Mormon story
is that the Nephites Of the tribe Of Ma
nasseh came from Jerusalem to Amer
lea about 600 B. G. The Mormon ex-
plorers hope to get IN to the trail of
the Nephites and perhaps to find the
remains Of their capital In the valley
of the Magdalena. Their proposed
course Is through Mexico and Central
America into Ecuador and Peru. The
country is q rich field for explorers
who are fever proof. They propose to
return by sea from Valparaiso to San
francisco.

odd Case of Theft,

A man was on trial recently In Q
court in New York City for grand lar
ceny and conspiracy. One day of the
trial was rainy. A reporter assigned
to the trial laid his umbrella against
the jury box, but it was in the way
there and a court officer picked it up
1I.n put it in the jury box; it ought
to be safe there, il anywhere" no
said.
When the court adjourned for the
day the reporter looked in the jury
box for his umbrella, but 1t was MOI
there. He sought out the court officer,
who also made a careful, but unsuc-
cessful search.
zone of them jurymen's took it; no
one else" remarked the officer. AN
they're tryin' that man for larceny
The reporters umbrella was never
returned, but the defendant was found
guilty, and sentenced to seven years
imprisonment. Evidently the jury
man who had the umbrella took the
proyerbial view of it and did moi
think the Illegal possession of an.
others property disqualified him from
passing judgment in a case OF theft

Poison In Potatoes.

Potatoes contain a poison known
as selanin," says the Sanitary Home,
Fargo, N. D. New potatoes contain
comparatively little Of this poison I'M
less they grow about the surface Of
the ground and have a green skin.
when they are generally known to be
poisonous. 1t is not, however, gener-
ally known that old potatoes contain
much more of this poisonous principle
-solanil-and many cases Of serious
poisoning have occurred in late SUM
mer, when old potatoes are used. In
1892 and 1893, there was almost whole
sale poisoning among the troops Of
the German army. The symptoms
were frontal headache, collie, diarrhoea,
vomiting, weakness, and slight stupor,
and in some dilatation Of the
pupils. Meyer investigated the case
and found in old potatoes, kept in
a damp place, and beginning to sprout.
twenty-four times as much solanin as
In new potatoes. When using old po-
tatoes in June and July, It will be well
to keep this fact in mind"

Coal Ashes as g Fertilizer

Coal ashes are never used Is 9 fer
tilizer, but they are often spread on
land to get rid of them as a waste
product. They make excellent hard,
firm. dry paths around a house or in
q garden, and when SO used they have
been found to greatly encourage the
growth OF grass and weeds. so that this
experience seems to have encouraged
the belief that they are useful. But
az the ashes Of soft coal are worth
only forty cents a ton. and those Of
hard coal sixteen cents, 1t is evidently
not q profitable business to gather
them from a distance. The homemade
ashes may be used, to get rid Of them,
and If spread on grass land they have
showed that they possess some value
beyond what their actual analysis
seems to indicate. Ashes certainly do
not create weeds for this word means
to make something OF nothing. They
do not encourage them any more than
other plants. What will make weeds
grow will make useful plants grow

single purpose and they had no time.
for diversions. The Cape Nome sea-
son lasts only four months, and the
great majority codnted the days be-
fore they should be forced by the re-
turn Of ice in the bay to depart for
their homes.
Prices were, Of course, high. A COM
mon laborer could carr $40 a day
early in the season. Afterward the
rate Of wages fell to SIS a day. A good
steak cost $1.25 and a good cigar 81
cents.
Missions were opened during the
summer, but generally the miners
worked Oil Sunday as on other days.
Time was too precious to them for re-
ligious deyotions. There were three
newspaper plants in operation and a
fourth was lost overheard in transit.
sanitary conditions were u~nfaVorable
as the summer progressed, and there
were numerous cases of typhoid fever,

Across Bering sea 1t is possible on
a clear day, to descry the foothills Of
the Siberian coast, where similar de-

been discovered. Already an ambi-

United States to connect by steamers

population in those parts this scheme
may not be altogether visionary.

why the Pestslence Is Bred In Chinese
Cities.
One who has seen any Of the towns
and cities In China wonders little why
disease and plague are prevalent. A
correspondent lately in China writes
that he recently went to Foo-Chow, q
town near the east coast, which Is
approached by way Of the river Myn,
one of the most picturesque water
ways In the whole Of the Celestial
empire.
Ships have to anchor at the customs
pagoda, from which persons are con-
veyed to Foo-Chow by sampan or
steam launch, the distance being
about 10 miles.
Foo-Chow is considered M of the
most filthy and overcrowded towns in
China, and a person landing there
cannot fail to notice the fact imme-
diately he sets foot on shore. Every
where there r teeming masses Of
dirty, ragged and half starved look
ing Celestials. The streets (alley-
ways would be a better term) are only
about eight feet wide. and all metalled
or paved with irregular Jumps of stone
and rock. On each side there are
stagnant ~gutterways, which emit
most obnoxious perfumes, causing one
to hold q handkerchief to his nostrils
the whole time he has to traverse the
roads.
In the terribly hot weather the
Chihaman places q plank Of wood
from his doorway onto the street, &C
cross the gutter, and takes his nights
sleep, perhaps without a covering, per-
haps in the clothes he has not had off
for weeks.
Nearly every building is a shop, and
outside every three or four are placed
buckets of garbage-in some places
holes full of (which add to the sick

now and again one hears loud shout
ing in front or behind him, which is
an indication that all on foot must
clear the way for some chair carriers,
who are carrying upon their shoulders
some important parsonage.
The sight of the main bridge span
ming the river cannot be accurately
described. Each side was crowded
with stalls with goods of every, de-
scription-dirty looking, tumble down
affairs. Cripples and beggars were
numerous, and there were also lepersi
there were men with terrible sores,

Very few, however, receive burial II
they die on the bridge. The person
who is unfortunate enough to touch
the dead one waits until dark, and
then, as the Americans say, dumps
the departed into the river. Bodies
are found nearly every day floating
among the shipping, or half buried in
the mud when the water is low.-Lon,
