A CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK.

Employers and Employees to Discuss
the Existing Differences.
New York, May 22.-Henry F. Dew
ems. agent of the Metal Trades asso-
citation, yesterday went to the head
quarters of the strikers Immediately
after the meeting at the Astor House
had adjourned. His mission was to
pave the way for Joint conference. in
which the strikers could explain their
position and their demands, so that
the employers could find out what the
men wanted. 1t was later announced
that President O'Connell had authoriz.
ed a conference.
When the executive board of the Ia
ternational Association of Machinists.
District No. Is, adjourned last night
the members were much eiated, as
they said that there were fair pros
poets that the differences with the en-
ployers would be settled, and settled
IN favor OF the men, before many more
hours had passed.
AS far as New York city is concern
ed the machinists practically consider
ed that they had things their own way.
Few reports OF concessions had come
in during the day. but the members of
the executive board congratulated each
other upon the fact that all the larger
firms had come TO terms.
According to Mr.. Devens the pur-
pose Of the Metal Trades association
for asking the conference is to gain an
opportunity to lay before the ma.
chinists fairly the situation. Mr.. Dew
ems says that there is no question but
the machinists under existing agree
ments are entitled to a nine hour day.
This the employers are willing to con-
cede. But the question at the bottom
OF the present difficulty is whether or
not ten hours pay for nine hours work
is to follow the introduction of the
nine hour system.

An Idea of Mars.

"As for me-" said NJ. Flammarion,
speaking Of the inhabitants of Mars in
The National Magazine, Il rather envy
them-a land where it IS always beau
tiful, where there are neither tempests
nor cyclones, where the years are twice
as long as ours, where the kilogram is
of $40 grams and where, therefore, men
and women who here weigh 10 kilos
there weigh only &c, and where, in a
word, everything is lighter, more deli
cate and more refined"
And in another place he goes fur
Their, pointing out that if the Martians
wished to communicate with us they
would have doubtless made the effort
many times in the past and probably
long ago abandoned it, deciding it a
hopeless business to attempt communi-
cation with planet so stupid.

The proprietor of one of the new
apartment houses near Fifth avenue
has paid rather heavy penalty for
having a cartoonist as one of his ten
ants. The artist wanted some changes
made in the decoration of his apart
ment, and the proprietor declined to
make them. The proprietors features
are pronounced. and he wears long,
flowing side whiskers. His face, dis
torted to suit the cartoonist's fancy,
has appeared nearly every week in one
Of the comic papers. Sometimes the
proprietor figures as the villain and
again as the countryman who is bun
koed every week in the pages of this
publication. The cartoonist lets the
whiskers grow from week to week (;
then, just as his victim imagines that
they will grow so long that his friend
will not recognize him, the artist trims
the whiskers down again. The propri-
etor of the apartment house has con-
cluded that the only way in which he
can get even with the cartoonist is to
put in bill for services as model.-New

THE CONQUEST OF KOREA.
Japanese Legend of Emperor Chuai
md His Valiant Wife

Seventeen centuries ago the japanese
Emperor Chuai was playing his lutte
In the presence of his wife and prime
minister. Whether on account of the
music or from some other cause, the
empress became inspired with divine
afflatus and began to utter the thoughts
put into her mind by the deity. There
is n land to the Westward" she ex-
claimed, "and in that land is abun-
dance of treasure, gold and silver daz-
zling to look upon. This land 1 will
now bestow upon you"
The emperor pushed away his lutte.
"If you go up to high place and look
toward the west" said he, there is no
land to be seen, but only the great wa
tiers. They are lying spirits who have
spoken to YOU"
Then the good god was filled with
anger and again he moved the empress
to prophesy. You are not fit" she
said, ito rule this empire. Go the one
road"
But the prime minister trembed
when he heard these words and said to
his master: Il am troubled, my heaven
ly sovereign, by this terrible message.
Continue, l pray, to play the august
Lutte"
The Emperor Chuai commenced to
play softly. Gradually the sound died
away; all was still. They held light
to his face and saw that he was dead.
But the empress put herself at the
head of her fleet, invaded the land of
gold and silver with her warriors and
soon made the three kingdoms of Ko-
rea tributary to Japan.
These things happened, we are told,
in the year POI \. D.. and the story of
the valiant empress is as familiar to a
Japanese as Is that of Boadicea to our
selves.-Nineteenth Century.

The sIowness of Starvation.

During a prolonged fast the loss Of
weight is unusually rapid at first and
decreases as the time goes on. Death
ensues when q certain percentage Of
the loss has been reached, and this per-
centage varies according to the origi-
nal weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight, thinner ones perhaps two
fifths. A man or woman of rather
spare build weighing 143 pounds
might, therefore, lose about 90 pounds
before succumbing. Children die after
fast of from three to five days, dur
ing which they have lost n quarter Of
their weight. Healthy adults, however,
have tasted 90 days when water has
been taken. a German physician re-
ports the case of a woman aged A.
years who tasted for 43 days, taking
water freely. She lost A pounds out
of 143 pounds and died from exhaus-
ton.

STOVES.

Owing to the mildness of the climate
in Portugal heating stoves are rarely
used In that country.
Heating and cooking stoves are both
used by the upper classes in Greece,
but the lower classes still live without
using either.
Very few heating and cooking stoves
are used in Paraguay. All the houses
have brick stoves built in them, so that
iron stoves have little or no sale.
Stoves made of thing are in general
use in Austria. They are said to be su-
perior to iron stoves on account of the
great economy of fuel possible by their
use.
There is in the Mediterranean coun-
tries Il widespread prejudice against all
artificial heat, and consequently not
more than one house in six is ever heat
ed during the winter time.
Iron cooking stoves are almost an
unknown luxury among the people Of
South America and the West Indies.
They still cook in open fireplaces and
by other primitive methods.
The cooking stove, as it is known in
the United States, does very little serv-
ice in France. a few are in use in the
country, but in most farmhouses the
cooking is done in a large open fire.
place. In the cities n furnace is built
in the small kitchen.
