 The torpedo sails from Its port to the center of the arena, thence it circles to and over the boxes, or straight at their occupants, as if in swift assault; then instantly turns its threatening prov and
 beacon light and curves upward to right or left. It rises in circling spirals to the ceiling, stops, falls direct to the ground, rests prone upon it, rises, describes curves and figures of eight, flies thirty turns to port and nestles on a perch be- meath it's consort.
 The anchored skycycle next spreads its yardarms and guiding aeroplanes on either side, and twists the screw sail" in It's bow to the semblance of helix eight feet across. This is next set in rapid evolution by it's riders feet and hands, and the vessel sails into mid air, Its prov bearing typical figure head of Aurora, a floating female stat uette inclining forward with flying dra- perles trailing after. The skycyclist who Is seated midway of the craft, moves to the center of the arena, pauses slightly and then revolves upon her heels, ap- the rider flaming herself as she inspects the audience below, which to her in effect rotates in circle about her as she sits motionless. Then the flying feet and hands set the skyeycle in speedy movement forward, with eul- force, and the vessel encircles the arena several times, then pauses over the boxes while the rider bombards the occupants with bombs of tissue pa per Srom basket. like so many dan gerous missiles These being eagerly caught and curiously unroled, prove to be printed inscriptions of the mysteries of the vessels origin, construction and operation Both these ships were cre- ated within two weeks time at the bal looon farm, and first flown at the expo- sition.

4 TITTL E TOO MUCH,

l Some of the educators in the public
 schools of Detroit do not feel that there
 are enough "fads" in the schools, and
 so they want to establish a Junior
 American Republic Their plan has
 called forth hearty protest Among those who protest is Mayor Maybury, who in an interview gives an idea of
 the startling public policies submitted | for consideration by juvenile minds in | the few schools where the fad" has gained admission. The infantile "citi- zens" in one of the toy republics kwere asked to vote by ballot on such questions as these: DO you favor city ownership of the street railroad sys-
 tenn? Do you favor the purchase of the street railroad system at the appraised value of S175OO,0 900? DO you favor an Appropriation of $150,O00 for the erec- ton of an eastern high school building?
 Do you favor expansion Ghe Philippine question)?" Even worse was the at
 tempt to make lobbyists of the chill dren. Each was asked if he would in-
 terview an alderman, a school inspec- tor. or an estimator and urge him to
 favor an appropriation for an eastern high school, In a lively criticism of the innovation the Detroit Free Press says that innocent children who are already struggling bravely against ninety and nine other fads, in credit able effort to learn how to read and write and spell and figure, ought not to have their little heads still further muddled in an attempt to master the methods and processes by which the people of the United States are gov erned"

A Honolulu correspondent of the Boston Transcript writes: The major- ity of the Chinese are laborers or trad CTS on small scale. For faithful ser vice. commend to me Chinaman. In our establishment we can do with no less than three. An Quae, the cook; An Loon, the yard man. and Sing Wo. the laundrynan, are at their posts as surely as the sun climbs over the east ern mountains. Most of the Chinese came here first as contract lahorere on the sugar plantations. The develop nent of the country called for labor such as they could give, and much of the material prosperity of this land is due to their patient and faithful ser- vice. The unstable native cannot be depended on for the constant grind of toil and foreign labor must needs be imported When the contracts ex- pired the Chinese laborers left the plan- tation for better paying positions. Many entered domestic service, some became gardeners on their own account, and many more engaged in mercantile business. It goes without saying that

The decision of the Supreme court of Nebraska which abolishes the State Board of Transportation is interesting. The members of the board are the gov ernor, auditor, land commissioner, at- torney general and treasurer. This board was empowered to control freight rates in Nebraska, and had equal pow er over telephone, telegraph and express companies. The decision of the court leaves all such corporations without any control in the matter of rates, save that exercised by the courts. The law is declared unconstitutional on the ground that it was improperly passed, that is, it bore a different title in each house, and in other respects did not conform to constitutional requirements.

Among the most curious election bets { on record is one made by John P. Courtney, Democrat and Harry Wal lace, Republican, two plumbers doing business in Minneapolis. The agree ment was that the loser must for life cast his vote as the winner shall dic- tate. Courtney, who was candidate for alderman in the recent campaign, was the loser and is now engaged in substitute some other penalty. Wal lace is obdurate and swear that Court ney must in future vote the Republican ticket.

It is said that Count Tolstoi divides his time each day in exactly the same manner He writes until two o'clock in the afternoon, the hour of dinner after which he takes short rest followed by walk and conversation with any visitors. Supper is served at nine D. nl, and the count does not retire to nest until rather late hour He has given up cycling. Almost every day he receives visits from friends and ac- quaintances.

Don't forget this fact during the cam
paign: Senator Jones, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, offered
an amendment to the Porto Rican tariff
bill to return the duties on sugar i'm
ported from that island "to the persons
from whom they were collected" The
sugar trust had paid s637,551 of these
duties and if the amendment of the dem
ocratic senator had not been opposed by
the Republicans, then he would have
caused the return of that sum to the
trust!

THE BOER WAR.

London, Nay 81, 3:1o a. m.-Displayed
in the most conspicuous style IN the
Daily Express is the dominant war news
of the morning: 1--WE have the best rea-
son for stating that in the last q hours
a telegram has been received at the
foreign office addressed personally to the
prime minister from President Kruger,
proposing terms of peace. The exact
terms OF the message cannot be stated;
but we believe it is couched in an ex-
ceedingly humble strain"
It is i~nconceivable, of course, that
Lord Salisbury can have sent any reply
except the one that stands ready on the
lips of every Briton-unconditional sur.

The Chronicle is inaugurating its
campaign against unison in the republi-
can party, according to the usual tactics
of the only recognized leader of the dem
ocrats. In order to cause strife in the
republican ranks it does not hesitate to
publish glaring mi~sstatements, in the
vain hope that they will be believed, and
cause the usual pilgrimage of milk and
water republicans to the shrine of the
Dodo, for a homeopathic dose of in
spiration. Republican harmony is as
sured for tie future, in this county,
and the attempts of the Chronicle
and its herder, will fall as fiat as it's fran
tic efforts to avoid numbering the Eng
lish language.

There appears to be much dissatisfac-
ton as to the action of the assessor in
enforcing the collection of taxes at the
time of assessment, instead of allowing
the taxpayer to wait until the list is
turned over to the county treasurer.
This action is based upon the following
sections of the Political Code, which
went into effect in July 1895.
"Sec. 3940. The assessor must collect
the taxes of all personal property when,
in his opinion, said :axes are not a lien
upon real property sufficient to secure
the q ment of taxes.
Sec. 3941. In the case provided f, + il
the preceding section at the time of
making the assessment, or at any time
before the second Monday Of July, the
assessor may collect the taxes by seizure
and sale of any personal property owned
by the person against whom the tax is
assessed"

rem that Memorial Day is the most sa.

Gus in parts OF London, Aberdeen and
Belfast and elsewhere in the United
