London. June 81, 2:03 p. m.-The ca

Chinese Exodus From Shanghai.
The exodus of Chinese from Shang-
hal is undated. Every Steamer is
thronged. and the authorities have
been obliged to resort to the use of the
fire hose to prevent the fugitives from
over-crowding the vessels. The COM
mander of the British first-class cruis-
er Undaunted, however, has landed
large supplies of rifles and ammuni-
ton, and guns have been placed in
position at commanding points. with
the result that the foreigners are con-
fident they can overcome any attack
on the settlement, into which the for
eigners from the out-stations are rap
idly congregating.
Hussians Have Their Hands Full.

AN OLD THEORY CHALLENGED.
Recent Researches Tend to Prove That
Matter Can Be- DESTROYED.

|. Recent Researches Tend to Prove Tha
Matter Can B. Destroyed.
The whole system Of modern chem
istry is based upon the axiom Of thu
indestructibility of matter, and that
indestructibility is proved by the per-
manence Of the weight of a given sub.
stance through all the physical OF
chemical stages it is made to undergo
Any experiments, therefore, which
shake our belief in that primary prop.
erty of matter must have far-reach-
ing effect. Landolts classical re-
searches in 1898 embodied the first
work done with all the modern in
struments of precision. Certain mi
mute changes Of weight were then
placed in evidence, and these have
since been confirmed. A. Heydweiller
has endeavored to trace some connec-
ton between the change of weight
and the changes in other physical
properties, such as magnetic permea-
bility, electrolytic dissertation and
material OF optical density. He has
failed to trace any such connection,
though he has distinctly established
