TELL OF NAVAL PROGRESS.
Officers Describe Advances Made by the Nations in the
 Last Year.

In the latest issue of the naval an nuaI, published by the office of naval intelligence, is an article by Lieut.. W. L, Howard, summarizing the in crease of naval strength effected duf- ing the past year by the great mari time p5H.ers. Lieut.. L. k. DeSte guer discusses the subject of wireless teleg- raphy, relating what each of the naval power has done toward the utiliza- tion of Marconis discovery, and in cluding review of the state of the art of lorg.distance transmission by 6 competent German authority. In gen eral it appears that the experiments have resulted satisfactorily. The British army in South Africa, by the use of kites for the vertical wires, have managed to transmit messages a distance of S5 miles, or more than ten miles further than the distance which separates Hentsin from Peking, which still proves to be impracticabe for ordinary telegraph methods There is also an illustrated description of the fastest vessel in the world, the famous turbine torpedo boat Viper, which runs over 54 knots an hour with ease.

Pu~vn Of Small Raniiias.

The town of Schaller, Ia, claims to be the banner town of the country in the matter of possessing the greatest number of small families. The school census just completed in Schaller shows that there are l62 families in the town and only l33 children. In 46 fam. lilies there are no children, in 30 fam llies there is one child each, 34 have but two each, one family has seven, three have six and two have five each. The Schaller Herald, commenting proudly on the towns unique distinc- ton, says: And if we cannot boast of a large school population, we can at least hold over all the neighboring towns when it comes to small fam flies" In fact, the Herald says so much along this strain that it almost looks as though the unfortunate fam fly that has seven children and the three others that have six each would be 80 stung by the disgrace that they are bringing upon the town of small families that they would move away where large families are fashionab ble The 46 families who have no children at all are probably the elite of the city of Schaller, while the 30 with one child each form the next lower eirels.-Chi. caae Tribune.

Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, posseasor of $50, 100000 and head of his houSe, the other day did the first days work of his life. Bright and early he was at the Grand Central station, full of zeal and enthusiasm, to learn the railway business. He took his place among the other young clerks in the treasurer's office of the New York Central and with them remained on duty till four p, m, with an hour off for luncheon. He is 8 young man of sense," said Treasurer Rossiter, "and he feels the responsibil- ities that his wealth has brought upon him. Like all the Vanderbilts, he wants to be keen man of business, and so he has started in to learn the workings of thr great property in which he has such large interest.
 He will do his work with the other young men, who are a fine class of boys" continued MT. Rossiter sTheir salaries average SSS a week; I cant say what Mir Vanderbilt $ salary will be- Of course he won't have to remain during office hours.

Dr..

He reports the discovery of rich gold mines in the district known as South Kordofan.."
 It is expected that company will be formed at once to work the gold fields. The fact that gold exists in rich-paying quantities in the Sudan has long been known. Sixty years ago the famous Mehemet, Ali em. ployed an Austrian mine expert to examine this very district He dis covered gold, but political complies tions prevented development at the time, and since then the lawless con dition of the Sudan under. the kha- lifa's misrule has effectually prevented anyone from attempting to go into the district where the gold is now found.

SHEETS OF BREAD.
How the Stan of Life Is Prepared
 by Moki Women.
4Pr0psr Making of the Article IS Con- sidsEed . Real Art Among the
 Female Portion of the Tribe.

If you wish to dine .on 6 sheet of bread, you must go to the great Amer ican desert and ask the women of the Moki Indians to bake it for you. But if you are wise, you will not inquire too closely into. the details of the process. .o: ...s. ,.-a -.
 The preparation of the bread, in sheets hardly thicker than a sheet of paper, is real art among the Moki women. A corner in the principal room is set aside for the accommoda- tion of shallow trough, walled in with slabs of stone set on. end. The trough is divided into three compart- ments, and in these the first process of bread-naking takes place.
 When bread Is to be made, . girl kneels behind each compartment. Shelled corn is then put on the fiat stone in the first compartment, and with coarse, oblong stone the first girl proceeds to rub it. The coarse meal thus prepared is passed on to the next compartment. Here it is again rubbed with a stone less coarse, and passed on to. the third stage The result is decidedly floury meal,
 With. brush which is made of dried grass: bound together with 8 string of calico, and with which the flour is swept between times, the meal is then gathered up, and mixed with water to thick batter. =
 " Then comes in the art of the baker. She takes single handful ofthe bat ter and spreads it over a long; flat stone, under which fire has been for some time burning. The batter is made to cover thinly the entire sur face. ..., ...~s>: /: ~.
 When one side is baked she takes the bread by corner and pulls it of dexterously, turning it the other side up. When it is done, a long, fiat bas- ket receives it, and the baker turns the edges up all round, so that the air can get at it. Sheet after sheet is baked until the basket is piled high with the blue bread, or '''piki,' which the baker Pronounees "peka."
 No salt is used in the batter, and the piki has a swedish taste. It is {; usually blue, partaking of the eolos of, the corn from which it is made. It is eaten dry or in sort of soup. When the men go on journey they take piki made into rolls, very much as one would roll up a sheet of wet paper, the bread being of about the same thickness as the paper. ,s
 The stones upon which the bread is baked are prepared by the old women of the, tribe with great secrecy .and much ceremony. They are very valu' able, and are, handed down as heir, looms from mother to daughter.
 The first stage in the process, so says Popular Science News, is the smoothing and filling of the surface of the stone with, hot pitch. It is then smoked and rubbed for many days, with an accompaniment of rude chanting. As far as white man may know, the first rubbing is with g smooth stone, the next with pieces of wood, while the finishing work is done with bare hands. The result is jet . black, smooth surface, to which the piH does not stick in baking.

Prof. S. A. Weltmer, the eminent scien-
fist of Nevada, No., who perfected and
originated that method of Magnetic Heal
ing known as Weltmerism, has recently
put his scientific discovery to another Sc
we're test It occurred in this. manner:
Prof. s. A. Weltmer is very sensitive, and
it cuts him to the quick to have any one
speak in sighting manner of the method
for curing the sick of which he is the
originator. OF course, skepticism found its
way in the minds of the people, and it
is not unreasonable to suppose that it
would. when we consider that the new
science perfected by Prof. s. A. Weltmer
no matter what their nature and this
without the aid of either drugs or the sur
geon's knife. 1t was further claimed that
1t not only cured those diseases that come
to Nevada for treatment, but actually
cured those cases where the patients were
thousands of miles away just as readily.
Prof s. A.. Weltmer learned that one DR..
Bishop. living in Nevada, Mo-, had made
the statement that his method was
fraud. The professor became rightfuly in
dignant at the charge and demanded an
investigation. He knew that the only way
that a thorough investigation of his meth
cd could be had was to bring suit against
DR.. Bishop, which he. did, and the case
was VAS or r h nero .hat eminent nc Jurlst,
was most remarkable, as hundreds of men
and women, full of gratitude to the author
of their restored health travelled thousands
of miles TO testify on their oath that they
had been cured through Weltmerism. In
this trial Weltmerism had thrust upon it
the searchilght of not only legal investiga-
tions, but physicians throughout the coun-
try were called upon the stand to see If
they could not prove 1t fraud. One of the
instructions of the court was as follows:
IF you find from all the Evidence and
facts and circumstances in evidence that
Weltmerism was and had been substan-
TALLY beneficial to the general public, and
their methods had substantially produced
the results claimed for them. then you
should find for the plaintiff" As the
jury found for the plaintiff-Weltmer ard

ant, DR.. Bishop. to the extent of $3.50 and

Prof Weltmer been absolutely positive
that his new science, which is now known
all that he claimed for it, and had
he not known that 1t would absolutely
cure all diseases known TO man and wo-
man, both by personal application and by
the absent treatment, he would not have
dared to put it to the test which he did
For It is acknowledged that the case just
closed was one of the bitterest ever fought,
as he had arrayed against him physicians
OF the old school, and also that class of
people who always fight a new discovery
In the field of science And the glorious
such an absolute proof that IL is efiicacious
and that 1t has at last placed the curing
of disease into the domain of an exact
science that we must now accept Weltmer-
ism as the curing power of the future. Is
1t not grand that just as the waning nine
teenth century is about to bid farewell
and we can just catch n glimpse OF the
approaching twentieth century that we
have placed before us a method whereby
all diseases can be cured. and we need no
longer fear that we will be drugged to
death by medicines or cut to pieces by the
surgeons knife? For this grand discov-
cry eliminates all this danger and unfurls
ing letters: Medicine is a thing of the
past" The testimonials that were brought
Into court showed that more than $4,000
people had been treated by the absent
method, and out OF this enormous number
1t was shown that only twelve had not
been cured This is indeed a remarkable
record. For our own satisfaction we have
had Prof. Kelly, the co-laborer of Prof.
Weltmer. send up a few testimonials,
which We take pleasure in publishing here:

RE-DErINING THE DIVISIONS.
They VIII BE Traced I'm British Coz
IumSin by Mountain Lines.

The plan Of reformation for the British
Columbia mining divisions has awakened
as 1t Is a radical departure from the meth
cd hitherto pursued In determining the
limits OF the several divisions. Formerly
the districts were divided. upon an arbi-
trary line OF latitude or longitude. This
looked we'll on map. but when It nad 70
be worked out in practice II was often
an almost impossible task to define these
boundaries. For instance, speaking Of the
commissioner in Omineca. said that he ac-
tually could not tell definitely where the
limits of his division lay. He knew where
knew of its extent, but It was quite impos-
sible for him to tell exactly where his jur-
isdiction ended. Where the task for the
commissioner was such a difficult one. L
must have been to the miner, or prospec-
tor. who had neither time nor inclination
to bother with the technicalities OF the
matter
The department of mines. in re-definlng
the boundaries. proceeded upon a totally
different plan. Instead OF considering de-
grees and meridians. It followed the heights
province into certain districts. By this
system the country Is naturally divided
into those sections which are drained by
certain streams and their tributaries, and
even the most ignorant prospector can de-
termine by the general confguration OF
the country the division in which his claim
or prospect lies To draw the boundary OF
some Of these divisions upon the map
would result in a very meandering line. but
in practice It simplifies matters very much,
more especially for the class most inter-
ested in mining and prospecting. and this
Is the great object which Hon. Fred Hume,
with the assistance Of the provincial min
eralogist, Mr.. Robertson, has had in view.
Alterations have been made in the NAM
ing of the divisions in only two instances.
The division of which Bella Coda IL the
natural center was hitherto known as VIC
toria division, from the fact that 1t was
administered by the officials of Inc Vic
toria mining division. There was no other
reason for the duplication of the name OF
Victoria in the classification, and 1t result
ed In endless trouble and confusion 1t has
therefore been named Belle Coda division.
The name OF Cariboo has been substituted
for that Of Ritchfield, but beyond these
the old designations stand.
