The Urgent Deficiency Bill.
The House in committee of the whole
then proceeded to consider the Urgent De-
ticiency bin reported last week.
The bill carries a total OF S1,439, $50,
more than two-thirds of which is for the
Navy Department and the Government
Printing Office Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois oX-
plained in detail the provisions of the bill.
One item was $125,000 for the Navy. to be
expended at the discretion OF the Presi-
dent. An appropriation iG similar Ian
guage for the sum OF $500 600 was made in
the general bill for the current year. 1t
had all been expended in the first half OF
the year. and the S125 GOO, Mr.. Cannon
said, was necessary to meet unforeseen
contingencies constantly arising, which
could not be specified
Mr.. Richardson, discussing the appro-
priation for the Printing Office called at
tention to what he characterized, the
workings Of the Paper Trust. 1t had. in
the first place. reduced the number Of bid
ders to furnish paper to the Government
from tifty-six last year to thirty this year.
and in the second place increased the
prices which the Government had to pay
from 45 TO 50 per cent He had introduced
bills to refer the trusts to the Inter
state Commerce Committee for regulation.
and he hoped that the articles controlled
by them could be put on the free list.
Mr.. Steele Of Indiana said he had receiv-
ell letters from many editors complaining
about the increased cest OF printing paper,
which had gone up from $50 TO $35 ton.
He said that ipasmuch as the tariff on
wood pulp was but So ton, they could
see that the tariff had but little effect
upon the price of paper, Mr.. Steele said.
he preferred 30 be subject to the control
of a trust at home rather than a trust Of
foreigners.
After further discussion an amendment
was agreed to appropriating S25, 900 for
printing for the Navy Department The
bill was then reported to the House and
passed.
At $50 the House adjourned until to-
day.

PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO.



SAN FRANCISCO. March 12-The board
Of health today began a ousa-to-house iu-
speclion OF Chinatown, because they are
now firmly convinced that the Chinese who
died week ago succumbed TO genuine bu-
bonic plague. This decision was reached
late last night. after hearing the testimony
of Federal quarantine officers, who ex-
amiued the blood Of animals inoculated
with matter from glands Of the dead China
man aud found it fun Of what he declares
are baciiI of the plague. His diagnosis
was concurred in by several other ex-
perts. The guinea pig and rat died, but the
monkey that was inoculajed is still alive
though very weak.
The board decided, as this case may be
merely sporadic. not to Quarantine China
town. but to establish systematic inspec-
tion Of the quarter aud to insist that all
sick Chinese be submitted for treatment
to white doctors and all dead be promptly

WAY OF KILLING WHALE.

There IL Little OF Excitement or DANCE
In the Pursuit. Nowadays.
DR.. Frederick w. True of the Smith
sonian institution. who has Just spen,
two months in whale killing in Green
bay. on the northeastern coast Of New
foundland, reports an interesting ex-
perience. He was sent out by the in
stitution to study the finback whale
and OF ninety-eight animals caught
al but eleven were OF this variety.
Inc story book romance has gone en-
tirely out Of whaling as pursued by
the Observation-Disclosures. There is no
frail Whaleboat, with the grizzled old
harpooner in the bow to strike the
whale, but instead little steam craft
and powerful gun. This gun throws
q large iron harpoon, with crossarms
which lie against the shaft until II
strikes solid body and then project
out and imbed themselves. The head
OF this harpoon is cigar shaped and
sharp-pointed and explodes as il
plerces the whales side, generating a
gas,Wh1ch serves to keep the fish afioat
after the wrecking effect Of the shock
on Its internal organs has left it a
llfeless mass. A stout rope is at
tached to the butt Of the harpoon and
by this the whale is kept in leash as Il
thrashes madly through the water in
a vain effort to escape its unknown en-
envy. Death rapidly ensues, unless, as
sometimes happens, the projectife goes
through the fish from side to side, when
second shot is necessary.

Automatic Magazine Rifles.

A new military Mauser was patented
last year in which the loading is en-
tirely automatic. With the ordinary
magazine rifle, it will be remembered,
that every shot the frer has to open
and close his breech, and during the
operation, the spent case is elected,
and a fresh cartridge transferred from
the magazine to the powder chamber.
With the new Mauser, all the marks
man has to do is to keep his magazine
charged. After firing, the breech is
automatically opened, the spent case
elected. fresh cartridge inserted, the
striker cooked and the breech closed
ready for firing, the whole operation
only taking the fraction of a second.
The less marksman has to do beyond
taking aim and firing, the better prac-
tice he is likely to make. Whether
the weapon is, or is not, too compli-
Gated for practical military work may
be open to question; but an examina-
ton of the drawings of 1t shows that
the desired end has been obtained most
neatly and ompactly-Engineering.

The Pressure of wat.r.

diving bell constructed for use
in Lake Michigan was made of phos-
phor bronze five-eighths of an inch
thick. Each plate was cast with a
rim and bolted to it's fellow as closely
as was consistent with strength. There
were ribs an inch thick and two inches
wide for increased resistance, and the
whole structure was very strongly
braced. Windows three inches SQUARE
were made of inch-thich plate glass.
These were strengthened by iron bars,
The bell when completed weighed 49,
900 pounds. 1t was towed out into
Lake Michigan to a point where there
were 200 feet of water, and down it
went for test. When the line had
been paid out for 200 feet, there was
a curious culver Of the ropes, and fly
Ing to the surface came some of the
heavy timbers that had been attached

astonished to find they were splintered
bell was hauled up only shapeless
mass Of metal was found. The plate
glass windows were in powder, and
the entire structure had collapsed so
that Its original shape could not be
determined. The pressure was esti-
mated at 1858 pounds per square inch,
or 353,924 pounds to a side six feet
square. This made the entire pressure
on the bell something over 1851 tons.

TWO SEASON TICKETS,


He and she both had season tickets
to the Chicago orchestra Friday con-
certs. They sat side by side in the
main balcony, and they did not even
know each others names. He was tall
and distinguished looking, with the
face and hands Of an artist. She was
small and fluffy looking, with the dain-
tiness and beauty of flower. He al
ways brought formidable scores with
him and poured over them during the
entire concert, except when, carried
away by the music, he forgot it's signs
and gazed abstractedly before him, see
Ing visions not of earth. She brought
box of chocolates with her, and ate
one after another until the box was
empty. She admired him much and
used to peep furtively at him and his
scores, wondering how any one could
be wise enough to understand all about
such difficult music. He never seemed
to notice her, and so she unconsciously
watched him more and more and wove

Neither he nor she went down stairs
during the intermissions, but she was
afraid to look at him when there was
no music, and that was when he looked
at her-while she was inspecting the
rest of the house.
One day he startled her by looking
around while the orchestra was play
ing. Their eyes met and she blushed
and turned away. Then it was that he
thought how pretty she was.

she thought about him, but stern con-
