But Roberts Drove Out the
BOer Forces.
FASTENING HIS ADVANCE
The Commander in Chief Does Not
Wish to Tire Out His Horses and
This Accounts For the Recall Of
Gen. Methuen.

London, March 81. BIB a.. m.-The head
of the army of Lord Roberts is now about
q miles north OF Bloemfontein. 1t occu-
pies a cluster of hills won from h Beers
after a stiff fight in which the British lost
seven officers and 100 men.
The Beers have been using their kopjes
as a base for marauding bands that have
been beating UP the country adjacent to
Bloemfontein for supplies, driving of
cattle and forcing nonresident Free
Skaters in their ranks again. The enemy
must nave been in considerable force, as
Lord Roberts sent 5000 infantry and 5000
cavalry against them.
Lord Roberts progress at Pretoria will
probably consist of such forward move
1nents in which the Boer positions will be
attacked by a portion OF the army ad-
yancing rapidly with wheel transport, the
main army coming up as the railway is
repaired.
Lord Roberts is stripping the forces
in the minor spheres of operations of
their wagons and transport animals in
order to hasten the advance. This Is un-
derstood to be the reason why he recalled
Lord Methuen from Barkly west to Kim
berley. Lord Roberts has to have Methu-
ems transport. II
The reason why a hot chase was not
made after Commandant Oliver is that
Lord Roberts did not wish to wear out
the cavalry transport. General French
lost 5000 horses in the relief of Kimberley
and the pursuit of Genera Cronje. Lord
Roberts lost nearly 5000 transport cattle
at Waterfall drift and it Is estimated
that he has lost 1000 other animals since
the forward movement began on Febru-
airy Ii.
The advance beyond Bloemfontein is
through a bare country and the supply
officers foresee an increasing difficulty in
providing for a great army moving along
a single line of railway, ever when the
latter is working smoothly and with
ample rolling stock.
The Canadian mounted rifles. were part
of the force that occupied Kenhardt yes
terday. w. +.1-p
The rebellion throughout the northwest
districts of Cape Colony Is almost sup
pressed. The Goth will sail today (Satur-
day., with 5000 men for st. Helena to
guard General Cronje n 1000 prisoners.

GETTING ABOUT PARIS.
The Street Cars and omnibuses of the
 City and the Rates of Fares.

The means of passenger transit in Paris Is something that will interest a great many people the coming year. in view of the throngs that will visit the exposition. It is effected by electri- city, steam, compressed air and horse power. There are three tramway lines serving Paris and the suburbs, and om- nibuses are generally used throughout the city. One of the ve-mentioned tram lines belongs to the Compagnie Generale des Omnibus, and the other two are practically controlled by the same company; so that 1t can be said to have monopoly of the entire pas senger transit exclusive of cabs and carriages. It is a stock company. or ganized in 1855, having obtained from the city the exclusive right to transport passengers from one point to another in the city of Paris The concession expires on the 31st of May, 1910. The omnibuses are of two sizes, and drawn by two or three horses, respectively
 The smaller model is arranged for 28 to 30 places GA outside, ii inside and two on the platform). The larger model affords accommodations for 20 on top and 20 inside, including four on platform. The fare on the top is 15 centimes (near 5 cents). inside and on platform, 30 centimes (nearly eents1. The payment of the aforementioned fare entities the passenger to "eor- respondenee. or transfer ticket to an- other connecting or interseeting line
 No passengers are taken on when the places are filled, either at a station or en route. At the starting points num- bered tickets are handed to the pas sengers, and when there are more than enough to fill one conveyance the pre- cedence is given to those holding the first numbers. The next omnibus or car starting begins with the number last uncalled on the previous vehicle. The same system prevails at the fixed stations en route for vacant places No standing in the aisle is allowed. The statistics for 1896 show the number of passengers carried as follows: B lines of omnibuses (26 to 30 places), 50.030.- 034; IA lines of omnibuses GAO plaees1, 79,349, ,631; 8 lines of steam tramways, 12,862, ,990; 23 lines of horse tramways, 87092, ,926; lines of compressed air and electricity, 10,705, $40; total, 240,- 040,291. The distances traversed by the divers lines vary from about two miles to a little over four miles.

Captured a strangling Bug.

One of the so-called strangling bugs was captured in the county jail yard at Media, Pa, by Jail Warden Thomas s. Fields MT. Fields did not know of the bloodthirsty and dangerous char acter of his captive, but, judging by the looks of the insect that t was danger ous. handled it carefully. He suc- eeeded in brushing it into a glass jar. and few minutes afterward dropped live mouse into the jar to watch the result. The bug in a minute made a sudden dash upon the neck of the mouse, and stung or bit it in such a way as to cause it to keel over dead. the bug hanging on to it and sucking its blood. MT Fields, mortified at hay ing such an insect in his possession, and without knowing that it was one of the aliens from Africa, closed the jar tightly and smothered it to death. It is of a dark brown color, about two and a half inches long, has strong pair of wings, and is armed with a sharp pointed sucker" or sword, and two erablike claws.

Yncendiary Microbes.

Under the above title W-iter, La Nature, of Paris, contributes an inter- esting article on spontaneous eombus- tion, showing that when stored hay. bales of cotton, tobacco, etc, take fire, the action is in the first place due to bacteria. In wet seasons such fires are most common and are due to storing the hay, etc., in a damp state; fermen- tation follows, with great rise of tenn perature-a process due entirely to the action of microbes; the hay is changed to a dry, porous and carbonaceous condition, and it presently takes fire. It will consume slowly, until accident brings the external air to it's help when the incandeseent mass bursts into flame. and the microbes which caused the initial mischief are de- stroyed in a funeral pyre of their own making.

FIRST POTATOES.
Tomatoes and Chincon Trees Were Rais.a
 in Peru.

Lima Cor. Chicago Record: Peru IA the birthplace of the potato, which was hfst used as all article Of food by the meas and exported to Europe by the Spaniards when they took over ouinine bark and named it in honor Of the countess of Chincon. whose husband at that time was vieeroy. The Indians had used the bark for medicinal nur- poses as long as any one could remem- Der, but this noble lady was the first European to test it's efficacy. and it proved so excellent q cure for the ma- laria which saturates the atmosphere of Lima that she induced the Jesuit fathers to recommend it to the medi- cos of the old world. These wise old chaps sent it to Spain and Italy, and it is said that one of the first doses of quinine that was ever administered in Europe was swallowed by the pope. The unregenerate potato, which is still found in wild state among the noun tains of Peru, is delicate vine, which bears a fruit about the size of a plum and as yellow as an orange. CultiYa- ton has increased it's size and im- proved it's flavor. The scientists say that the tomato also originated In Peru. and was known among the Incas as love apple, possessing peculiar qualities that influenced the affections. For centuries after it's discovery tho sane superstition prevailed in Europe. Peru also claims to be the mother of cotton, but think Egypt will dispute that fact
