Gun, president OF the Brigham 1OuuB
Academy in Provo Utah, who is in charge
OF the expedition, says in letter TO
friend that many prehistoric ruins have
been examined by the party and evil
dences unearthed which tend to uphold
the Mormon traditions.
A movement has been started to con-
soldate all the crematories of the United
States and Canada into one association.
There are now seventy-five crematories
in this country. The object is to make
uniform price for incineration, certificates
to be paid up during the life of a person
will be issued. and when the holder dies
the body may be incinerated at any OF
the crematories which are in the associa-
ton. The organization of the interna-
tional association will be effected at a
meeting of the officials of different crema-
tories at Buffalo during the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition.
The emigration of watchmakers to
Warsaw, Poland, is alarming the manu-
facturers of Switzerland. The conditions
offered to them in Russia are very adj
Vantageous-a salary of $500 francs IA
year, with all expenses of the journey
paid. The contracts for Warsaw are
egallzed by the Russian Ambassador at
Berne. Watchmakers in Neufchatel, La
ChauX de Ponds, ST. Inier and Geneva
get very low wages; many do not earn l.
500 francs year. The Watchmakers' AS
ISOLATION has declared that workingmen
who leave Switzerland for Russia will
never be accepted as members if they re-
turn again to their own country. The
association fears the competition of the
matchmaking industry of Russia.
For centuries the countries by the

drifting sand, and have sought with in
different success to lessen them, says
Pearson's Magazine. 1t seems, however,
that nature has provided an ample rem
edy for her own cure in the form of GER
tain grasses that grow in sandy wastes.
Wherever they appear the sand is held
intact, and it has been found that it is
possible to select and transplant these
grasses so that the most lawless beaches
may be held in control, BY their aid the
people Of Holland have finally secured
their hard-earned country from the con-
slant efforts of the North Sea to reclaim
it; and after a contest of nearly a hun
dred years, France has transformed the
desolate shores of Gascony into fertile
fields and forest lands.
"A Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Record says: The dispatches from Ma
Mia tell of the deportation from that
island of several important generals and
leaders of the insurgents. who will be sent
to Guam to reflect upon their folly.
This is new policy and the result of
recommendations from officers over there
who have at least learned that the Fill
pinos dread exile more than imprison-
ment or even death. 1t is said that the
natives are so attached to their island
that emigration is unknown. There are
no Filipinos in any of the neighboring
countries. They are unheard of in Spain
and other European nations, and stu
dents who have been sent away for an
education always return and take up
their permanent residence at home in
stead of yielding to the attractions of for
eign countries. The knowledge of this
popularity has suggested Punishment as
punishment for the leaders of the insur-
recton, and the experiment will be tried.
Those who are familiar with the native
character are confident that it will be
more effectual than any other form of
punishment and when the leaders learn
that they viii be sent away for life or for
a term of years if captured they will be
more ready to surrender and recognize
American authority than when threaten
ed with the ordinary punishment. An

pinos and start for a foreign country the

try to swim back.
