Pretoria, Sept. 24.-A proclamation
has been issued announcing that the
burghers who voluntarily surrender
VIII not be sent out of the country,
but win be detained in camp at
Bioomfontein or Pretoria. In case
OF their having stock, selected rep
resentatives will be allowed to take
charge of the cattle. The localities
In which herds will be kept will be
designated by the commanding Off.
GERS OF the districts.
This proclamation gives great sat-
isfaction to those who are anxious 10
see the war concluded, as it is be-
lieved that it will end the Boer
resistance. 1t has been repeatedly
stated that many of the burghers
would lay down their arms if thew
were assured they would not be sent
to st. Helena or Ceylon by the
British.
News received here from the east
is to the effect that the Boer forces
In that part of the country are In a
complete state of disorganization.
A few diminished and disunited
commanders are returning westward
with scanty supplies of ammunition.
There is reason to believe that their
heavy guns have either been de-
stroyed or buried. Thirty Beers
from Hekpoort, who surrendered
four months ago, have arrived here.

Sprague came and stood beside him
and gazed curiously into the yiscous

he could see.
What is it?" he asked.
Without replying, Sturgis took from
his pocket a bonehandled knife and
carefully dipped one end Of the handle
into the fluid in the leaden tank. At
once the liquid began TO ssethe and
boil, giving out dark, pungent fumes.

Sturgis hesitated.

Sturgis hesitated.

"Murder?" repeated the artist, star

piece of metal which he had taken out

"What is it? \ bullet?"

bullet whose peculiar shape is record

So saying, he handed Sprague the
photograph. But the artist had ceased
to listen.

sonably infer that he is as markedly
deficient as usual, seeing that his eyes
are SO close together that they touch
each other. That's always bad sign.
Ii you see anybody with eyes close to-
gether you are entitled to think little
of his intelligence.
The fly has two sorts of eyes, the big
compound one, 1000 in bunch on
each side of the head, for knocking
about in daylight, and there are simple
eyes on the top of the head for use in
a poor light, sewing and fine print. Be-
fore going into ecstasies of admiration
over the creature that has 1000 eyes on
each side of it's head It might be well
to remember that they are not of much
account. In case of old flies kept over
winter the compound eyes cave in and
get broken, yet the fly seems to get
along and find food. One kind gentle
man vanished over the simple eyes
and pIucked off the wings of some
flies. He found that he might hold a
candle close enough to burn the COM
pound eyes of the fly before it had a
suspicion that anything out of the COM
mon was going on. In daylight he took
a knitting needle and brought it up in
front of the fly close enough to touch
his antennae before it lodged. If the
knitting needle was brought up on one
side Mr.. Fly picked up his sticking
plasters quite lively.-Ainslee's Maga-

BERLIN, CITY OF MONUMENTS

Outdoes All Others in This Particular
Form of Decoration.
OF all the cities Of the world the rich
est in monuments is probably Berlin,
even now, and if there is another city
which can boast of more monuments
than Berlin's siXty-three it is destined
to be distanced by the German capital
within Il few years. For when the
Avenue of Victory shall have been
adorned with all the statues in contem-
plation and when the monuments to
Bismarck, Won Moltke and the Emper-
or Frederick shall have been completed,
the Athens by the Spree" as the Ber-
liners love to cal their city, will pos
sess not far from 100 monuments to de-
leased WORTHLESS. AS might be expect
ed, the names on some of the monu-
ments would have fallen into oblivion
out for therl. \ few of the really great
men have two monuments apiece, and
one of them, Frederick the Great, is
nonored with three monuments in diff
ferent parts of the city.
1t is worthy of note that the scientist
Helmholtz though recently dead, has
already had two statues erected in his
honor, one in front of the university,
The other on the Potsdam bridge. In
view of the military traditions of Prus-
sia, it is rather surprising that of the
completed monuments thirty-two are
of civilians and only twenty-nine of
military men. The remaining two are
of women, Queen Louise and Empress
Augusta. Schiller was the first civil
ian to obtain monument. An inter
4sting statue IS that of Jahn, the father
of turning and turnvereins. The figure
stands or a mound, the stone of which
were sent from all parts of Germany,
md even from America.
Among the others to whom Berlin
has erected monuments are Goethe, Lu-
ther, the two Humboldts, Lessing, the
scientists Siemens. Gauss and Roent-
gen (the discoyerer of the X-rays), and

kang Yu Wei who first started the re-

The young Emperor finally lent list

teacher. This naturally made the EN-
peror eager to meet the most brilliant
scholars Of Kang Yu Wei. Among the
young men brought into the royal pres

years, and an ardent reformer.

When the Emperor saw that his re-

forming him of the peril that was
threatening all reformers. He bade
them fly at once.

they could make their escape, but Kang

Leung Kai Tin came to the Pacific
coast to carry the doctrine of reform
to every city and village where his
brother Chinese congregate. In San
Francisco there are an especially large
number of progressive Chinese. who
believe that the light Of modern civili-
cation should penetrate the gloom of
China. Their battle cry is: ..Give back
the throne to the young Emperor

Empress Dowager divested of every
