According to the Physician and Sur
geon, Prof. Roswell Park makes the
startling prophecy that if for the next
ten years the present relative death
rates are maintained in 1900 there
will be more deaths from cancer than
from consumption, smallpox and ty-
phoid fever combined. For a number
Of years back the English statisticians

has been almost universally noted that
flesh eating and cancer are increasing
at about the same ratio. The rice
eating natives of India are almost
wholly free from cancer, which is
found to be most frequent in occur

who make free use of animal food. 1t
is impossible for human beings to

without suffering the natural conse-
quences of polluting the vital stream
with the products of disease and put

a fertile soil is prepared, not only for
cancer, but for consumption and many
other maladies.

my voice away to seward. With de-

in the hope of seeing a vessel, a fishing

vain.

Fortunately, her topmasts were struck.

would soon turn to a despair that
nothing could alleviate.
Sounds like thunder, or like tremen-

These were caused by billets of wood,

the hold of the schooner as she rolled
and lurched and righted herself to roll
and lurch again.
For a time l covered miserably in
the dark cabin, until my childish fears
overmatched reason, and l crept once

A regular gale was blowing now, and
the schooner careened fearfully be-

the bellying of that portion of the fore

acre OF ground, a portion of the Stone
estate, at the corner of Clifton and
Thirteenth street, northwest. This
fine old house was in a state of dilapi-
dation, having served as a hospital, a
boarding house and a residence for
swarms of colored people, and finally,
almost abandoned, the cows grazing
in the fields about the house.
The location is quite ideal, COM

Stiff, cold and benumbed, l started

WILLlAM II. L lON.
From the Masters Table," in 1881,
William H. Appleton was actively en-
ployed as a clerk in his fathers store.
From the time of the first venture his
part in building up the business was a
conspicuous one for over sixty years.
His associations with foreign au-
thors began with Thomas Moore, and
his acquaintance with English pub
fishers goes back to the time of the
elder Murray.
He was a leading spirit in the direc-
ton of great undertakings like the
American Cyclopedia and "Pictur-
esque America" and his business life
included a safe passage through the
troubled waters of three great finan-
cial crises-in 1877, 1857 and 1873. In
addition to his publishing interests he
had an important part for years in
the direction of other large enter
prises.
One of the earliest and most persist
ent advocates of international copy
right, he and his partners recognized
the moral rights of foreign authors
| when they were constrained by no le-
gal obligation.
Speaking of the first book published
by the firm, in 1881, William H. APP
pleton recently said: That book was
about three inches square and half an
inch thick, but its publication caused
the firm more anxiety than the Ameri-
can Cyclopedia, undertaken some thir-
ty years later" The American Cy-
clopedia cost $4,000 a volume before
a sheet was printed. Picturesque
America" was also one of the firms
costly enterprises. The capacity of

as these. or Wehster's Speller over a

In n of the town halls in a ,Japan-
csc treaty port there is a remarkable
timepiece, says Tit-Bits. It is con-
tanned in a handsome frame three feet
wide and five feet long. 1t represents
a MONDAY landscape very cleverly car
rled out. In the foreground plum and
cnerry trees appear in bloom, while in
the rear a hill is to be seen from which
flows a pretty cascade initiated in crys-
tai. From this cascade flows a tiny
stream, which wends it's way between
rocks and islands and finally loses it.

miniature sky a golden sun turns on
silver wire, striking the hours on sill

marked by a creeping tortoise. A bird
OF rich plumage MARBLES at the close
OF the hour and as the warbling ceases
a mous suddenly makes it's APPEAR
ance and, scampering over the hill to
the garden, is soon lost to view. AL
together it is a wonderful piece Of
mechanism. A Glasgow botanist has
conceived the unique idea of making a.
timepiece out of growing fir trees. He
planted a number of fir trees in his
garden in such position that they
shade special parts of the house at
known hours Of the day. For instance,
the 81 o'clock tree" shades the dining
room during lunch, while the 81
o'clock tree secures a shady drawing
room for afternoon tea, and so on, dur
ing the rest of the day. In one of the
temples of China can be found a re-
markable clock, which is said to be
the invention of Shun-Te, the last of
the Mongol emperors. 1t is a clever.
piece of mechanism, and on a kind of
raised platform a little figure makes
its appearance, from an inclosed box,
every hour of the day, carrying the
hour sign in her hand. After a few
seconds she ~retires, to appear again in
an hours time. The collection of odd
and curious watch dials is said to be
the coming fad and already some of
the great jewelers. are including among
their stock some very queer watch
faces. Fol instance, there is the as

beginning with Aries at |. and ending
with Pisces at XII. Another curious
dial is that evidently designed for an
eccentric gamester. In the center of
the face a picture represents the
throwing of dice, while around its
edges are twelve combinations of
cards, the spots that are displayed
showing the numbers properly arrang-
ed, beginning with an ace at |. and
continuing around the dial with one
spot added each time until a ten and
two spots are reached. What is look
ed upon as an ingenius invention in
connection with matchmaking is that
of a Partisan matchmaker, who has
just produced a watch which speaks
the hours instead of striking them. II

watch and can be carried in the vest

watch speaking the hours of the day is

Gohier, one of the editors of the Au-

MERCER, son of the general, in a duel
resulting from attacks made on the
officer by Gohier's paper. This is not
the first time that the brilliant jour
nalist has attacked "the honor of the
army" and has in turn been bitterly
assailed by the officers. In the thick
of the Dreyfus excitement, when the
honor of the army" was a thing to
c%onjure with, Gohier published a book
called THE Army Against the Ma
tion," in which he exposed the moral
rottenness of the military establish
ment. He did not criticise the army
from a military standpoint, but point
ed out its defects and weaknesses
from the social side, declaring it to be
a constant menac to republican in
stitutions. The book created such a
