Reign OF TerrOr-Story Of
Russo.American Deal.

Shanghai, Aug. Iii Ping
Hangs reign of terror has be-
gun.
Ii Hung Chang and Sheng,
director of railroads and tele-
graphs, are figuring now on
how to save themselves from his
vengeance, they having posed as
friends of the foreigners.
1t is reported that Yuan Shl
Kai, viceroy of Shang-Tung, has
been killed by order of Ii Ping
Hang and Prince Tuan.
Ii Hung Chang has all his
baggage packed for flight. He
has asked Pekin for "sick leave. !"
He says his memorial to the
Empress, urging that the lega
tions be saved, has incurred the
animosity of the irreconcilable
butchers in power.
And Sheng expects to receive
an order for his own decapitation.
He has applied to the British
consul for aid, asking what
measures can be taken for his
protection.
Ii Hung Chang says the men,
bers of the foreign legations left
Pekin on August 3, escorted by
General Yung Lu and his army.
1t is said, however, that Gen.
eral Tung Fuh ST at the head of
the rebels, went out before them
determined to intercept the
forces, massacre the Ministers
and then push on to meet the re-
lieving army.
Admiral Seymour has ordered
all British subjects to leave Chin
Kiang.
Lii Kung, Chang Chi Tung and
Ii Hung Chang, according to the
latter, sent an urgent message
to the Empress, requesting that
General Chung Lu be permitted
to escort all the foreign ministers
to Tien Tsin, where the viceroys
could meet and care for them.
This was sent prior to July 90,
on which day Ii Ping Hang ar
ived in Pekin and had an aud
ience with the Empress.
| On August l the same viceroys
sent a similar message, Shene
received an answer to the first in
the form of the imperial edict o1
July 80, ordering jim Lu to pro
vide an escort for the ministers
to Tien Tsin whenever the latter
should fix the date for the de

to be certainly the reason-that spi-

not seem to see we'll is right in front.
You can capture one from that side
much easier than from any other. This
spider is not fitted with the additional
eyes which other insects have. Usual
ly the compound eyes are supplemented

they are fixed in the head immovably

of the delicate appliances of the human
eye to reduce focus or change direc-
tion, so naure has compensated.
You VIII see that the eye is enclosed
in transparent sack and that 1t has
the appearance of hundreds of CLASSY
fish eggs. These enable the insect to
catch pictures in all directions. But
just in front the lines are rather OBJ
scure, so nature has bestowed some ex-
ira eyes on the grasshopper. Look
closely to the base of the antennae and
you will see one of these extras. Some
insects have them in the tips of their
noses, as 1t We're. These are for short
range seeing and give the insect an
advantage not possessed by spiders.
This is an excellent type of the COM

Costly Fruit In England.

At farmers club in Devonshire,
England, not long since, an experienced
gardener in the employ of one of the
nobility made the statement that the
income from ten acres covered with
glass beneath which early vegetables
and fruits were grown would exceed
that from 10000 acres of the best farm
land as ordinarily titled. No doubt that
assertion was eXtravagant, but it can
be said within the lines of conservatism
that the Britisher wasn't off in his fig
ures more than 80 per cent. One man,
to our knowledge, a German gardener,
sold early cucumbers, melons, and
celery, from one acre under glass
cold frames-to Leadville and Aspen
(Colo) miners to the amount Of from
$1,000 10 $4,000 a season.
In England, where, on account of the
damp, chilly climate, even peach trees
must be trained fiat against brick or
stone wall like vines in order to insure
fruit and where corn cannot be grown,
extremely fancy prices are paid for
extra early fresh fruits and vegetables.
A dollar a pound for strawberries and
70 cents apiece for cucumbers are only
ordinary prices for these products,
when put upon the markets early.
Early fruits and vegetables bring
handsome returns in large cities in any
country.-California Vineyardist.
