GIVES ANCIENT POTTERY.
| stanley Mccormick Makes Present OF
5000 Pieces to Field Column
bian Museum.

Three thousand pieces of prehistoric
Pueblo pottery, forming one of the
finest collections of the kind in the
world, have just been presented to the
department of anthropology in the
Field Columbian museum, at Chicago,
by Stanley Mccormick, who has spent
| many thousands of dollars in promot-
| ing the work of excavating in the an
cient ruins of Arizona and New Mex
| leo.
The collection, together with similar
material collected by c. L. Owen when
with the Mccormick Hopi expedition
of 1900, occupies an entire hall in
the museum. The greater part of the
pottery was gathered by Mr.. Wat
tron, sheriff of Navajo county, Ariz.,
who had men excavating for him for
more than three years. He has held
the collection at $4,000, but through
the efforts of Curator G. A. Dorsey, of
the Field museum, it was secured at a
smaller figure.
The pottery, which contains 5000
pieces of all shapes and sizes, was
taken from a series of ruins extending
from Sikatki, an ancient Hopi ruin, to
Howikuh, a prehistoric Zuni ruin in
New Mexico. The vessels are found
for the most part in ancient graves,
and their age can only be conjectured.
1t is certain, however, that they were
made more than 600 years ago by the
ancestors of the present Moki Indians.
Among the many hundreds of pieces
are some which the scientists regard
as extremely rare and valuable. One
of these is a bowl-shaped vessel, dec
GRATED with green paint and highly
glazed. AS it is estimated that tenn
perature of more than 1000 degrees
would be necessary to produce such
glazing, the Investigators are at loss
to know how the Indians found means
to accomplish the task.

WHO GAVE THE TITLE3
Controversy I'm England as to Viz.
toria's Recognition as Empress
of India.

An animated discussion is now going
on in England as to who first suggest
ed that Queen Victoria be invested
with the title of Empress of India. -
Thomas Power O'Connor, usually re-
liable as to his facts, declared that Sir
Andrew Clarke, long prominent in In
dian affairs, was the originator of the
idea; others insist that Disraeli (Lord
Beaconsfeld) is entitled to the honor.
The latter, however, made no such
claim, but frankly gave credit else
where In the debate on the third
reading of the royal titles bill in
March, 1876, Mr.. Disraeli quoted let
ter from correspondence young
lady who is only IL years of age-so
there is nothing compromising to her
conduct or my own Her father was
in the house of commons a few days
ago listening to our debates and the
young lady asked her father what the
debate was about, and he told her the
house of commons was discussing
whether the queen of England should
be called empress of India. What
silly men they must BEL said she; I
have known that for three years.
And how do you know?' she was
asked. Whereupon the young lady
produced geography book and point
ed to passage stating that British
India is under the dominion of Great
Britain. Her majesty the queen bears
there the title of empress of India"
The geography was, as matter of
fact, well-llnown work and, as Dis
raeli observed, was mot to be despised,
for it is in it's eighty-ninth edition."

WILL MEASURE THE WIND.
Recording Velocity and Direc-
ton of Currents.

An ingenious instrument has been
invented by Mr.. r. M. Lowne, of Cat
ford, whereby the velocity and di-
rection of the wind may be accu.
rately registered by means of cleo
tricity. The instrument is an adap-
tation of vane and anemometer COM
bined, and the record is automatic
ally made on a paper ribbon-the
indicating instrument being connect
ed by electric wires with the vane
and thermometer. The direction of
the wind is continually shown by a
well-defned fsingle pencil line, and
the changes to eight points on the
compass and their duration are also
recorded in the same way, says the
London Chronicle.
Another pencil line indicates tenths
of miles and miles of velocity, and
the maximum velocity (and when it
occurred) can also be seen at a
glance. Mr.. Lowne claims that the
apparatus, which he has kept work
ing for over year, is most success
full in every way and withstands all
changes of weather. Everything is
perfectly automatic in action and
the battery power required is very
small The records shown by means
of Mr. Lowne's instruments cannot,
he states, be obtained by means of
any other apparatus in existence.
Mr.. Lowne told a newspaper rep
resentative that it will be quite pos
sible to get, by means of his inven-
ton, accurate records at a central
station of the direction and velocity
of the wind from any part of Great
Britain by means of electric wires
connecting the recording instrument
with the vanes and thermometers
wherever they may happen to be
stationed

FARM NAMES HAVE VALUE.
In Many Instances They Are a Salts
factory Guarantee of n Prod
uct's Quality.

"It is a wonder to me-" remarked
the dairyman as he sold lot of eggs
that came from farm whose name
is known all about this section for
the excellence of it's products, says
the New York Times, that farmers
do not name their farms more fire.
quently and so establish sort OF
trademark for their produce. They
would do it, I am sure, if they only
knew how much it adds to the value
of the stuff they send to the mar
kets. have scores OF customers who
will buy only milk, eggs, chickens or
other produce they want that comes
from certain farm and is so
stamped.
There are score or more of GER
tlemen farmers who appreciate this
and who have given fanciful names to
their places and so at once added to
the value of their produce. 1t also
adds at once to the value of their
property, for the name very quickly
becomes known and people who are
loo. ing to buy country places are
willing to pay more for one that has
an established name and reputation.
Now, Jones' farm or Smiths farm
does not mean anything to the aver
age buyer, but call it 'Edgewood,'
'Ivanhoe,' Lookout or any other fam
ciful name and it at once obtains a
market value it never had before and
without the expenditure of a penny.
1t is queer short-sightedness that
has led farmers to overlook this, for
they are usually shrewd enough in
other respects. IF they would name
their farms and furnish good stuff
from it for a couple of years they
would find that the value of their
property had doubled in that period"

STEAM TO PUMP MOLASSES.
How the Sweet Liquid Is Unloaded
from a Ships Tanks Mt
Philadelphia.

The children of Philadelphia take
a great interest in watching the un-
loading of molasses from the holds
of the vessels lying at the whaTves
of that city. The other day a YES
sci arrived from Cuba with 100000
gallons of the sweet stuff in bulk
that is, it was not in casks or bar
rels, but in tanks in the hold of the
ship. The molasses was pumped out
of these tanks through a siX-inch
pipe to a large tank on the wharf.
Another engine forced the thick liquid
from this tank into big sugar re-
finery, where it will be boiled in cal
drons the size of a small house. From
these caldrons the fluid will be put
through a process which extracts the
sugar. This sugar, which is of good
quality, will later be served on city
tables, while the residue will be used
for making whisky and various other
things.
Thousands of gallons of this strip
are shipped from havana daily. 1t is
the product of the sugar cane of that
country, which is crushed by ma
chinery until every vestige of the
juice is squeezed out of it. The
greater part of the sugar is recov-
cred from the juice there, while the
rest is extracted in the refneries of
this country.
Workmen are obliged to remove the
strip in the bottom of the tanks by
means of buckets, to which are at
tached long ropes.

The Queens SPELLING.

Victoria was stickler for good
spelling. All queens and most I'M
titled members of the sex are be-
lieved to be superior to petty con-
siderations of photography; but in
her own case interest in the matter
led the queen to rebuke official cor
respondents for laxity in spelling.

her formal reprimands.

ARTICLE III. THE FORBIDDEN CITY.

Now let us descend from the wall by
 this inclined way, which will take us
 nearest to Legation street, where we
 saw the green-tiled roof of the British embassy, For this. also, the Chinese
 have their own name-one which we
 should scarcely be ready to adopt, for
 they call 1t the Street of Foreign De-
 pendencfes!
 This name illustrates a curious trait
 of the national character. The Chinese
 have a saying that man saves his face" when he preserves the appearance
 of having things his own way, no mat
 ter what the fact of the matter may
 be. A Chinaman will yield a disputed point quite readily if only some opening
 is made through which he can make
 the pretense, however childish, and
 transparent, that he is saving his face.
 In spite of the obvious fact that the
 foreign legations are located in their capital with all the powers and privi- leges of ambassadors of sovereign States, and in spite of the fact that they are there by virtue of treaties which are the result of previous de- feats of the Chinese arms, the Chinese are determined to save their face by | this childish device of pretending that | the foreigners are there merely as rep resentatiyes of tributary States, allow | ed to enter the capital simply to do homage to the King of Heaven. No doubt the object is partly to deceive | the ignorant and conceited common people, but it is also an example or a | national trait which runs through | everything, and which is the Key to many actions otherwise unintelligibie. When the ladies of the legation were admitted. some two ysais ago, to a for- nal reception by the Empress, 1t was proclaimed to the people that the Queen of Heaven had commanded the
 foreign devils to bring their women to
 "kotow" to her, It is, thefefore, 8 good thing that the foreign troops have not only rescued the legations. but have
 forced their way into the capital and
 have marched through the Forbidden City itself, and it will be a very un- fortunate step if any steps shall be
 taken by the allies which can possibly
 be construed by the crafty Chinese as victory for their arms or dil lOinaey. But now we have reached Legation street. and find that 1t extends from the south wall of the Tartar City toward the south wall of the Imperial City, and is bordered by the eoncts- sions granted to the foreign nations which maintain embassies at the capi- tai. Most of them rashly neglected to fartify their concessions, although previous experience had made known | to them the hatred and treacher;' of
 the Chinese.
 This is not saying that ample cause
 had not been given for the hatred. fn-

fine sarcastic fitness in the name. Around and between all these beautt- full buildings are the royal gardens and parks. abounding in@artihciai iakee' streams and hills. with gorgeous how- CTS of every possible variety.
 This sacred city is regarded by the common people with a superstitious awe and reverence which the govern ment Is careful to encourage by every device. It is strongly guarded from intrusion, and few except Manchu mo- bles have ever been allowed to enter it. On the rare occasions when 1t has been unavoidable to admit white men, the government has cunningly turned the humiliation to its own advantage by proclaiming that the foreign devils have come to do homage and pay tri- bute. Here lives the unfortunate King of Heaven" with his wives, con eubines and eunuchs, his sisters. his cousins and his aunts.
