LONDON, May 14.-The Times pub
fishes this morning letter from its
Odessa correspondent, dated May 6, in
which he comments upon the suspicion
and jealousy with which official circles
In Russia are watching the progress of
the Turco-American spute. He quotes
at great length from an important ar

which appeared in the Odessy Listok
which declares that the imperial policy
of the United States is prompted by the
necessity of finding new outlets for
trade"
Commenting upon the report that the

One fine morning In September a letter

lix, as he placed 1t before his father--of
all the letters that had been received
from her he had never opened one.
Mr.. LOnsdale read ii, and then looked
at his son.
"She Is coming home" he announced.
'She will be at GarswOod by the end of
the week, and wants me to see that ev.
erything Is ready for her."
| Darcy LOnsdale rode of at once with
his good news; and very pleased the
household ut GarswOOd was. Their young
mistress had been worshipcd among
them, and they were delighted ut the
thought Of her return. Mr.. LOnsdale gave
all necessary orders, SO that Lady Chew
enix should find everything ready on her
return, and should not miss any comfort
or luxury.
At the end Of the week another letter
came to the Office ut LilfOrd, asking
Darcy LOnsdale to 60 over to Lady Chew

"There is n terrible accumulation OF

suits you best, or pleases you best,

So 1t was settled that they were to 90
to the Hall. and do all the business as
quickly as possible there.
II shall prefer sitting up at night"
said Felix. II can always work better
when there Is perfect silence. A few
hours extra work each night. and we
shall soon have finished"
He little dreamed to what that sitting
up would lead.
They went on the Monday evenings

Cars Heated by Hot Air.

A new type Of electric heater for
rooms and street cars consists of u
combination Of an electric fan In a bell
shaped case with porcelain cylinders
wrapped with German silver wire. The
cylinders are heated nearly redhOt by
means of electric current In the wire,
and the fan blows current of air over
them, warming 1t as It passes, and thus
accOmplishes ventilation and heating
at the same time. The supply Of air
may easily be taken from out Of doors,
so that such an apparatus will supply
clean, warm air to an apartment, and
may thus replace the furnace register

of Pennsylvania avenue, Just opposite
Peace Monument. He relates one
story in which he and Gen. Grant fig.
ure rather prominently.
The old bookseller had received q
ticket for a theatrical performance.
He went early and took his seat In the
parquet. Soon family, consisting of
husband and wife and several grown
up daughters took the seats to his
right. A little later a man came and
sat on his left next the aisle. The old
bookseller Is blind in the left eye, and
did not pay any attention to the man
on his left At the end of the first
act the lady on his right leaned over
and asked If the stranger were not

A second invitation was not re-
quired. "And didn't have to change
only with the woman but with the
hui family, and thought they'd push
me out In the aisle. But I'll bet
that to this day the woman tells of
the time when she sat next to the

THE ANGLER FISH.
His Mammoth Mouth Snaps on What.
ever Touches the Projecting Fin.

ever Touches the Projecting Fin.
Most remarkable of strange fishes
is the angler-fsh, whose very name
nevertheless, is a reality, and a stern
one to all who approach those awful
jaws of his. With body the color of
mud ne genrally lies in the shadow of
some rock on the bottom of the sea,
waiting motionless for the approach
of his prey. He is provided with an
odd kind Of fin just over the mouth,
and this is held cut in front of him to
give warning Of the coming of some
thing to be swallowed. One taken
alive was experimental on, and 1t
was found that If this projecting fin
was touched with stick, even though
the stick did not come near the
mouth, the jaws closed convulsively.
This shows that the fin by some pro-
vision of nature closes the jaw as
soon as it Is touched. The mouth is
tremendous, growing to the width of
a foot when the whole fish is only
three feet long. One Of these anglers
was caught not long since, and though
1t was only twenty-five inches long, a
fish fifteen inches long was found stick
ing in its throat. The angler is pro-
Vided with peculiar teeth set in dou-
BILE or treble rows along the jaws and
at the entrance OF the throat Some
of these teeth are a foot long. He is
not pretty fish TO look at, but he
attends strictly to business and will
swallow anything that touches his
warning fin, whether it is meant for
food or not. All kinds of things have
been found In the stomachs of anglers,
from bits of lead and stone to fish al
most as large as the angler itself
This is without doubt one of the most
peculiar and interesting fish in the
whole ocean.-N. Y. Sun.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Volume Of Transactions Greater Than
Ever Known Before.

The year 1899 was the most won.
derful year In the history of American
business. This has been said many
times, but 1t is doubtful, even now,
whether even business men fully real
lie how enormous the transactions
have been. AS soon as the complete
statistics for the year are obtainable
they will show astounding totals, and
1t may be long before the record Of
1899 will again be equaled. Certainly
1900 will have hard work to maintain
the pace Of its predecessor. In spite
OF decreased crops Of cotton and
wheat, the volume of business has
been unprecedented. The history Of
the year must, Of compulsion, be told
In superlatives. The bank clearings
have been the greatest, the railroad
traffic the heaviest, the production and
sales by the manufacturing industries
the largest, the volume Of foreign
trade the most, and the number OF
failures the least. Nearly all records
have been broken. Prices have made
the biggest advance ever before re-
corded in one year, and wages have
been raised In many of the industries.
The year ended with nearly everything
at the summit OF activity and success.
Last weeks bank eclearings we're the
greatest of any week on record, and
this week they are again heavy. For
the year the bank cleWings are 36 per
cent. greater than in 1898. Along with

USE OF DOGS IN WAR.
Result Of the Experiments Made BY
the German Army.

The use of dogs in war dates back
to the Greeks and Romans, but the
modern idea of training them for spe-
cial military service was born in 1886
in Germany, and for the past 10 or 10
years each battalion of German jag
ers has had eight or ten dogs assigned
to it for this training. The two or
three dogs thus falling to each com.
pany are placed under the care of
noncommissioned officer and two
men, and each regiment has an officer
detailed to superintend their instruc-
ton.
The dog is to be used for various
special duties, such as the service of
information and security or scouting.
on marches and "Reminiscences and
in patrol, sentinel duty with the out
posts, as messengers on both these
duties, as carriers Of supplies and am.
munition on the battlefield. and to
hunt up the wounded after battle.
To test the results thus far obtained
a number of dogs belonging to various
regiments were assembled at Gels, in
Prussian Silesia, in last July for trial
There were sixteen dogs in all, six of
them under two years old. They were
tried on the following points: Conduct
as watch dog, return from patrol to
master, going from master to patrol,
following master by scent alone, and
lying down. The first point was test
ed by placing the dog with his master
at an outpost giving only a limited
view and then causing two jagers lin
enemy's uniforpl) to approach under
cover from poir; about 400 yards
distant. The second and third points
were tested by sending four dogs at
one time from an outpost Cor patrol)
to four different sentinels, then back
again to the outpost Tor patroD, back
again to the sentinel, and once more
to the outpost Tor patroD, the latter
having meanwhile changed it's posi-
ton.
The various points were given
values, and one of the dogs received
Sc out of a possible 100. The dogs
were of different breeds and crosses,
but the best were collies and shep.
herd dogs. The average rate of ira.
vel of the dogs as messengers was
about 915 miles an hour.-N. Y. Sun.

When Visiting.

Of course, when you are asked to
pay visit that is sure to be very
nice, you wish to accept. But, then,
comes some fluttering of the heart as
to whether your toilet things are good
enough. But with a little care and
outlay you need not mind what peo-
pie think. Make pretty white linen
bag, and keep your brush and comb
hidden there, instead of laid out on
the dressing table. Dressing slippers
can be made from shabby house shoes,
covered with scarlet cloth and with
black bow on each. If you have rath-
er shabby frocks keep them shut away
in your wardrob. Take only a few
frocks and let those be your best.

Vegetarian Shoes.

Vegetarians who are so strict that
they do not care to wear an article Of
clothing into which any animal prop
critics are introduced are catered for
in the boot line by a London bootmak-
er, who is the inventor of vegetarian
shoe. For some years he has been
experimenting, and as result he has
produced boot in the construction of
which there is absolutely no paper or
leather Of any description Not only
this, but, according to his assertion,
these wear one-fourth longer than
leather shoes, and the upper material
is always soft and never cracks.

DOG A DETECTIVE.
Animal Belonging to the Police at
Shanghai Gave Valuable Aid.

N0NS aiddblC AIQs
There has just died in the central
police station in Shanghai perhaps one
of the most faithful and intelligent
animals of the dumb creation, and one
which was truly regarded by the
Shanghai police as the "policemen's
dog" a mute but sagacious compan-
ion, whose death has been regretted
by the whole force. Niger at his
death was rs years old, eleven of
which he had served in the Shanghai
police force. His record in the SER
vice shows that he has actually been
In both the public and the secret de-
partments of the police. and had been
the means of effecting the arrest of
many notorious criminals. Niger, re-
marks the China Gazette, was per-
sonality in the force, petted as much
by the superintendent as he was by
constables, both European and native.
He was moreover, part and parcel of
them. for he visited them on their
usual beats, was patted, and with a
gentle tail wag travelled onward to
meet the next officer. The dog, too,
became a general favorite, because he
used to remain out on might duty"
and never considered that his patrol
was up till the morning round was
finished. When he was on night duty
he used to enter the station at 8
o'clock to get his coffee. After that
Niger would trot out again and con-
tinue his round till morning. An in
spector of the police force, speaking
of the death of the dog, states that he
was as good as a detective, and that
on many occasions Niger had been
the means of arresting lawbreakers
in cases where the police had failed.
Several notable instances are re-
corded. 1t is well known that Niger
secured the arrest of a criminal who
escaped from the Hong-Kew police
station. The convict was in for
term of years and his escapefrom the
station was apparently unperceived
until Niger took up the chase. The
dog pursued the man for two miles,
the while biting him on the heels The
runaway dropped and the police came
upon him. One of the most remark
able instances of canine fidelity per-
haps in modern times was this About
three months ago two European po-
lice officers were going up the Nan
king road at about midnight. Niger,
who had been with them, was missed.
A few minutes afterward the animal
made its temperance, when it began
paving at the legs of it's master, Ser
geant Madsen, who knew then there
was something wrong. Both officers
proceeded to ascertain post, piloted by
Niger, who at once put his front
paws against the door of a house and
returned to scratch his master The
dog again went to the door and actual
ly by his front paws burst it open, and
then it was that the officers discover
ed criminal who was on private pro-
perty for the supposed purpose of
committing felony and who was SUBJ
sequently convicted and sentenced to
three months hard labor
These are among the many acts
which made Nigger's name famous in
Shanghai, not only among the mem
bers Of the police force, but among
many private residents who knew him
by his reputation. The NAanghai po-
lice force is inconsolable The funeral
was attended by six constables and a
sergeant.-Pall Mall Gazette.
