channels, which are sometimes accurate. The

THE BOERS AND THEIR FUTURE.
Great Britain Will Encouraged Them to Re.
sumo Their Work.

Invitations to the Boer to co me to
America are unnecessary. He can
come if he likes, slngly or in commun-
ity, finding plenty of land to cultivate
and friendly welcome from the peo-
pie; but he has territory enough at
home. Great Britain will not carry
away any of it, but will encourage him
to resume his work on it. His prop
erty rights will be under a safe guar
antee than ever, and he will have bet
ter markets than ever before, and an
equally secure protection in all his So
cial and political rights. There is no
reason why he should emigrate, and,
in point of fact, the mass of the people
have not the slightest intention oi
doing so. They like their South AT.
rican homes, and are now likely to be
more prosperous in them than ever
none the less so that their own privil.
eyes are henceforward to be shared by
all the inhab itants of their territory.

TESLA'S VIEWS ON ELECTRICITY.
Tells of the Problem of the decreasing
Human Energy In the Century Magazine.

There is much of interest as we'll as
of vagueness in NikOla Tesla's account
in "The Century" of his later discover
les in dealing with ''the problem of in
creasing human energy"
He looks forward to oxidizing the at
mospheric nitrogen in unlimited guam
titles by means of cheap mechanical
power and cheap electrical apparatus,
and to use the resultant compounds in
fertilizing the soil, thus increasing in
definitely its productiveness. He fig
ures forth an extraordinary 'telautO-
maton," machine whose interior Op-
erations are controlled without wires
by distant electrical oscillations-a
fighting machine without men, which
he thinks will make war mere con-
test of machines without loss of human
life.
He asserts that the future belongs to
aluminium, which is to largely re-
place iron and down" copper COM
pletely, and which is, moreover, to
revolutionize naval construction and
bring about aeriel travel. He anticl :
pates the production of power without
any material, and he dwells on the
prospect of something more wonderful
than wireless telegraphy even-tht
transmission of large amounts of cleo
trical energy for industrial purposes
to great distances without wires. He
believes that communication by cable
will soon become obsolete, a perfected
electrical oscillator" taking the place
of the imperfect and expensive wires
and he thinks it more than possible t.
communicate through its means witt
other planets.
He predicts the early arrival of
ga self-acting engine capable of deriv
ing moderate amounts of energy froI
the ambient medium and he note
the possibility that we may obtai
electrical energy direct from the sun
Mr.. Tesla's statesments are suggestive
though they are not uniformly cOnvin
cling. ~ J.. TriJune.

THE CHINESE "BOXERS."
Recent Outrages Which Have Excited all
Europe.

Europe.
The Chinese Boxers" whose out
RACES have set not only China but all
Europe by the ears, correspond in
principle, at least, somewhat closely,
according to Rev. F. W. Royal, who
has Just returned from the 'Flowery
Kingdom" with the old Know Moth
ing Party Ill the United States. As
the war cry of the Know-Nothings
was america for Americans, so that
of the "Boxers" is "China for China
men," And, as there were Know
Nothing riots when that movement
was at it's height, so the Boxers are
rioting now, though it is admitted that
the yellow-skinned fanatics have gone
to much greater extremes in every
way.
At the same time, it is pointed out,
the Cinnamon have had much greater
reason to fear the onslaughts of the
foreigners. They are moved to vio-
lence at present, so Mr.. Royal ssys,
by the fear that foreign nations are
about to seize and split up among
themselves their ancient Empire, and
as the partition of China among the
great Powers has been publicly dis
cussed for years, and as many of then
already hold and occupy with armed
men so-called "spheres of influence on
Chinese soil, it would appear that tn,
Boxers" have good grounds for thei
fears

fessor T. AysWilliams.
Resolutions relative to the late Prof
Thos. A. Williams Were presented at a
meeting of his associates in the Depart
ment of Agriculture. hald in the office Of
the chief clerk at 3 pm. December 26, set
ting forth that:
ut is with feelings eof profound sorrow
and regret that we, the employees OF the
Department of Agriculture. learn that
death has removed from among us our be-
loved co-worker. Thomas A. Williams,
of our number. His broad knowledge of
scientific matters, hisekeen appreciation of
nature, his kind and fopbearing disposition.
has endeared him to allG He was known to
his associates an interchangeable worker.
I'm the death of Prof. Thomas A. Will
Jams science and agriculture have suffered
great loss and we, his associates dear
friend, whose self-forgetfalness in his
kindly consideration for the feelings of
others, and uniform cheerfulness, often I'M
der conditions of severe physical suffering,
revealed lovable character of the highest
Christian type. The loss to the division of
agrostology is irreparable. In the per-
Torrance of his official duties he had
proved himself an excellent executive and
an organizer of unusual merit, and his re-
lations with his associates in Office were
always such as to command the highest
esteem and respect. He never shirked
duty, and however difficult the undertake
ing, the work performed by him was done
most creditably. His loss will be felt most
keenly by his associates in the division,
and his memory will remain with them as
one whose exemplary life and steadfastness
of purpose they should strive to emulate"
The members of his bereaved family were
rendered sympa thy, and copies of the res
olutlons were ordered to be sent to them.
The committee which presented the reso-
lutlons was composed Of F. Lamson Scrib-
ner. II. j. Weber and w. F. Woods.
