 partments for herself and the persons
 who accompanied her. Her favorite
 dog was also placed in the carriage.
 At the railway station of Bordeaux the employe whose duty it was to gather the tickets caught sight of the animal.
 The employe, who appears to have been a fussy man with no liking for dogs,
 said to the great actress in severe
 tone: 'MMadame, I request you to put
 your dog in special. carriage" On
 which her ehambermaid exclaimed with
 indignation: "But it is the dog of
 Mme Sarah Bernhardt." To this the
 employe replied: If it were the presi-
 dent of the republic himself, 1t would be
 the same thing. The law is made for
 all the world, even for dogs. Now will
 you put your animal in the special car
 riage made for dogs?" "No!" cried the
 actress. Very we'll" said the employe,
 T shall go and fetch the police" The
 special commissary of the railway sta
 ton of Borbeaux, being duly informed of what had taken place, drew up his
 report, which set forth that Sarah Bern-
 hardt had offended the police of the
 railway department, an offense for which she would be punished in virtue of an ordinance dating from the year 1S40.
 The train was about to move. The commissary did not think it was his duty to delay the journey of the great artist, and contented himself with re- Ea hria 1uy, nf Bernhardt's maid. He then entered his office and drew up his case, which he transmitted the Fame evening to the procureur of the republic.

FACTS ABOUT CHICAGO'S BIG
 DRAINAGE CANAL.

The Chicago Drainage canal ranks among the greatest of engineering fea- lures during the nineteenth century. As an artificial waterway it's cross-sec- tion is larger than the Suez canal. The projected Panama canal will have but two-thirds the volume of water. The Nicaragua canal will be no larger The North Sea channel, which provides a short route for the commerce of Ger many, alone of the modern waterways constructed by man has a greater ca- pacity than that of the drainage outlet of Chicago. Dredged to the same depth as that of the German canal, the vol ume of water passing through this Illi- noiS outlet would be much more.
 Constructed for the drainage of Chi- cago's turgid and muddiest and filthiest of all streams-the open sewer of the city--the channel was made large

A STRANGE PATAGoNIAN AMI
 MAIL.

Dr. Rudolph Hauthal. who visited the cave In Patagonia where Dr. Nordensk- jold found the skin of the mysterious animal called neomylodon by Dr. Ame- ghino, it's discoverer, has published an article on it in the "Revista del Museo de la Plata" Dr. Hauthal himself dis- covered other pieces of skin and bones of the animal in the Nordenskjold cav- ern. Associated with them he found bones of man, the dog, horse, cat and other animals, as well as bone and stone implements. The cave is near Consuelo Grove, Last Hope Inlet, west coast of southern Patagonia, and there are others near still unexplored. pr. Roth believes the skin that of the sloth, Grypotherium of Rheihhardt, whose fossils are found in the beds of the pampas further north. Dr. Hauthal thinks that the caves were inhabited by man and domesticated animals includ- ing sloths, during an interglacial peri od.--London Globe.

It means that the republican party is taking the side of aggregated wealth. I want to ask you if little reverse in South Africa to the British can dis turb our financial system, what would happen if the English were engaged in real war?
 So long as we connect ourselves with every financial disturbance in the old world we will never have any financial stability. You will find that there will be more of a panic than there ever has been before if the Boers win, because there will be demand for gold in Lon don and there will be a fall of prices here; and men who love liberty are praying that the English win.

FITTING MEN FOR THE NAVY.
The Departments New Method With
 Greenhorns


 Greenhorns.
 A new policy has been inaugurated by the navy department for securing capable and well-instructed men for the enlisted force of the naval service. The enlisted men of the navy, including all grades, have heretofore been taken from the merchant services and the appren- tices' schools, and from men picked up anywhere, who were enrolled with the rating of landsmen. The landsmen, as a rule, was greenhorn, and ignorant of all the details of life on ship-board. They were taken of men-of-war and broken in, sometimes after great trou- ble. Often it was two or three years before they were entitled to be ranked as ordinary or able seamen. Coal beavers were enlisted from all sections without regard, as rule, to competency or sea experience.
 Now the navy proposes taking men

The potsdan observatory, though only
about twenty-five years old, was the first
one devoted exclusively to the compare
lively new science of szstrophysics. In
stead Of the older investigations OF the
stars motions and positions, the astro-
phycist studies with the speetroseepe the
chemical constitution of the heavenly
bodies and such other characteristics as
can be determined with that instrument.
A Particular speciality has been made al
Pctsdam of photographing specLra, for
the measurement OF stellar yeiocities OF
motion in space. 1t is not too much TO
say that the perfection Of the methods
now used for this purpose is due very
largely to Potsdam. But it is precisely
this extremely interesting and important
kind OF observation that requires a tele-
scope of large size. So, while Vogel and
Scheiner at Potsdam have been able to
devise and perfect new methods OF OBJ
servation. they have been limited to US
ing these methods upon the very bright
est stars. Now, through the intelligent
interests of the Emperor, they are e.
abled TO extend the work. Statistical n
formation about the velocitiss of a large
number Of stars is essential 70 the soiu-
ton &C p-ol lens relating 10 the con
struction of the universe. This we are
now in a fair way to obtain, since the
speAll skill of the Potsdam observatory
in this department of research will at
last be exercised with adequate instru-
mental facilities.
The following astronomical predictions

They will be found approximately cor

The most conspicuous constellation is
Orion, easily recognizable in the sky a

Of all the fixed stars. Sirius is in the
southeast. and is up about one-fifth of
the distance from the horizon to the
zenith. Taurus and Auriga are just
overhead, the former south of the zenith,
the latter north. Gemini hangs in the
eastern sky. Facing about to the north,
the observer will see the Great Bear east
of the pole, with two of its conspicuous
stars pointing straight at the pole star.
Cassiopela is opposite the Bear and west
of the pole.
OF the planets only Venus and Jupiter

southwest, one-third of the way to hori-
zon to zenith. Jupiter is the morning
star, and just before sunrise will be

from the horizon one-quarter of the way
up the zenith.
