BURNING OUT OF RUSSIA.
Recurring RavaEes of Fires Seem
Not to Teach Peasants How to
Avoid Them.

Before the rains a few days ago
st. Petersburg was, enveloped in
smoke from burning peat beds and
the newspapers still report fires in
all parts of Russia. Villages and
towns, forests and peat beds lumber
yards and factories have been burn
ing for six weeks. The peasants,
who are the principal sufferers, are
utterly incapable of resisting the
flames, that is intellectually and
morally incapable. They continue
building their villages in the same
fashion, with their wooden thatched
huts close together, and it is usually
only when forest or peat fire be-
gins to threaten village that any
effort is. made to extinguish it. The
fire ravages have been unusually
large this year. They are OCCASION
ing considerable comment in 9ithe
newspapers. Prince Mestehersky in
the Grajdanip says that in the mat
ter of rural architecture and protec-
ton against. fire Russia has made no
progress since Rurik. "Much is said
of the burden of taxation" continues
the writer, yet the direct and indi-
rect taxes are nothing compared to
the damages sustained annually from
fires. During the last century Rus
sia lost through fires at least 20,-
o0o,000.OO0 roubles. And so Russia
burns on at an expense of 100000
roubles year. Poor Russia The
roads have not become one whit bet
ter since Rurik and the villages are
as mean as thousand years ago.
With good country roads Russia
would be half "a billion richer every
wear"

To Test New Gathman Gun.

Big preparations are being made at
the Brooklyn navy yard for the test
of the new Gathman gun to take place
at Sandy Hook IN September. Two inn
mense targets, costing about $4,000
each, are being constructed. They are
made to represent section of the side
of the battleship Iowa. The armor
plate is backed by five inches of wood.
Then comes two. five-eighth-inch
plates, and the iron work of ships
side, with braces and angle iron and
inner sides. The total depth of the
frame work is, six feet. The supports
are of oak timber, IS inches square. A
plate 2h INCHES thick will cover the
top to represent a deck. If what the
inventor of theg Gun hopes for is demon-
strated, the $4,000 targets will be de-
molished withftwo shots. r

Trade OF United states wien fsiaiids
of West Indian Group Makes
signincnn showing

| 4 -
The growing disposition OF the is-
lands and countries adjacent to the
United States, aud especially those of
the West Indian group, / 0 trade with
the United States is Illustrated by
some figures just received BY thetreas-
ury bureau Of statisticsregardipg the
commerce of jamaica. These are con-
tanned in British coloplal report. ON
Jamaica for 1S99r1900. Z They show that
of the exports OF Jamaica, 81 per cent.
were sent to. the United States In 1896,
while in 1900 the share sent to the
United States was 63,6 per cent. To
the United Kingdom, the share in 1896
was 276 per cent, and in 1900 1872 per
cent. The,report says; THE value of
the exports from Jamaica which go to
the United States continues to increase
in total value and in proportion, to the
whole amount of the trade. The ex-
ports to the United Kingdom diminish
steadily. This tendency'is largely due
to the development of the fruit trade,
which has hitherto been almost ex-
clusively with the United States"
The increase in exports to the United
States has been accompanied by an in
crease in the percentage of Jamaican
imports which come from the United
States. In 1896 the percentage of Ja-
macan imports taken from the Unit
ed States was Ais per cent, andin 1900
40 per cent; while the proportion from
the United Kingdom, which in 1896 was
4s.1 per cent. was in 1900 47.2 per cent.
In neither imports nor exports does
the trade with Canada show any in
crease. OF the exports, 1.6 per cent.
went to Canada in 1896, and the same
proportion in 1900; while of the i'm
ports, 7.5 per cent. were taken from
Canada in 1896, and IL per cent. in

DIR. cALDAs NOT DISCOURAGED
The scientist Returns to Brazil to
Continue His search for yellow
Fever serum,

DR.. Caldas, the Brazilian physician
whose serum for the prevention of yel-
low fever failed to satisfy The United
States military surgeons in Cuba, has
returned to Brazil to continue his ex-
periments.'
DIR. Caldas talked to reporter be-
fore he sailed and said: a.
''My yellow fever tests are by no
means over. Against the report of
failure in Cuba l place the long record
of our experiments in Mexico and Bra
zil, not only my own, but those of DR..
Bellinzagile, who treated so cases,
with a successful result in 43.
SIT is not my belief that what hap
pened in Cuba could be called failure
of the serum. Three people were al
lowed to be bitten by mosquitoes that
had preyed upon yellow fever pa
tients; these three died. Then the same
mosquito was applied to man who
had been treated with my serum, and
when he fell i'll the gentlemen said IL
was yellow fever.
"That is not my diagnosis; believe
that had an autopsy been performed on
the fatal cases due to this same insect
it would have shown that they died of
blood poisoning, not of the yellow fe-
yer, and that is what allied the patient
who was treated with the serum and
then, exposed to. the infected insect"
"Blood poisoning from a mosquito
bite, you say?"
''Certainly.
~ have been working on the yellow
fever serum and vaccine for eight
years and should be able to speak with
some authority on the subject.
"The world will yet recognize that
am right in this matter"

Daniel Drawbaugh, of Harrisburg,
who says that he invented the first
telephone, announces a system of wire
less telegraphy which he thinks will
revolutionize existing methods of com
munieation, Mr.. Drawbaugh claims
that his system is capable of app.ica-
tion to te!egraphy and telephony. His
theory is comprehended in the use of
the electric currents Of the earth in
stead of the ether. currents with which
wireless telegraph experiments have
heretofore been made. He has con-
ducted his experiments in his work
shop in the little Village of MillHilie,
Cumberland county, for two years.
He finds that increase of distance i'm

High-Caste Hindoos to Be Given
Commands in The Army, NS''
iritDh Government Has Decided to
Try the Experiment of Advancing
Native, Cadets Of Ability TO
Positions of Command.

Ever since the Sepoy rebellion 1t
has been the policy of the British
government to discourage any at
tempt on the part of nristocratic
residents of India to attain high
military, rank. This policy was due
TO the well-foundcd suspicion that
the high-caste natives were not to
be trusted. But of late years this
class, has, so often demonstrated its
loyalty that change has been de-
cided upon. The plan contemplates
the bestowal of military rank upon
certain pumber of highly born
cadets. A large field is already pro-
vided for the military employment
of native officers of good birth or
position, nearly 1000 being in the
commissioned rank of the native
army; but there has been q dearth
Of corresponding openings for the
sons of Indian princes, mobiles and
gentlemen who arc every day re-
ceiving a superior education, but to
whom opportunities of active public
service when they. reach years of
manhood are restricted A desire to
crafty the, military aspiration Of
these classes has long existed, but
difficulties in connection with selec-
ton, tuition, military rank and
duties have barred the way.
The present experiment will be of
tentative character and some time
must elapse before it's details are
fully worked out. 1t rests upon the
periodical selection of a small num-
ber-probably 20 to start with--of
scions of noble families, who, with
rare exceptions. will be drawn from
the four chief colleges at Ajmere,
Lahore, Rajkot and Indore and who
will constitute what will be known
as the Imperial Cadet corps under
the command of specially selected
comnandant and adjutant. The
cadets will pass through two years
course of training in the cold wealth
er and will from time to time be in
personal attendance upon the vice
roy on ceremonial and other occa-
sions. Such of them as exhibit spe-
cial capacity will then pass through
course of military training in
garrison class and ultimately will be
appointed to staff positions or other
military employ
ment. The scheme is said to have
the enthusiastic support of Edward
VII.
