SELECTING A
NEW CAPITAL
VIII Follow the Ameri-
can Example.
CREATING A SUITABLE CITY
The Jen1ousies of Melbourne and
Sidney Make 1t Necessary for the
Australian Commonwealth to Build
IN Entirely New City.

In one respect, at any rate. the new
Australian Commonwealth is going to pat
tern itself after the United States. What
urged the Americans of 1890 to decide upon
Washington, at that time even more DESC
late and embryonic than wien Tom Moore
described It fourteen years later, was
chiefly the jealousies of the States. Ham
fton, who never had much confidence in
the people, was worked upon by another
reason-he feared that II the National
Legislature were to be located in a big
city it would be overawed by the mob
others, again. felt and expressed the un
dying suspicion which the countryman
entertains of city life, and argued that
the purity of politics could only be kept
at a high level by planting the capital in
a remote, sylvan and thoroughly atorig
inal spot
The jealousies Of the provinces, and par
ticularly of the big cities, like Melbourne
and Sydney, have definitely cast the Au
straIian capital of the future into the
outer soIitudes-precisely where has not
yet been determined, but no doubt for
some years to come the spot decided upon
will fit in with Tom Moore's famous lines:
An embryo Capital, where Fancy sees
Squares in morssses, obelisks in trees;
Where second-sighted seers the plain adorn,
With fanes unbuilt and heroes yet unborn,
Though nought but woods and Jefferson they see
Where streets should run, and sages ought to be.
Oddly enough, the British Government
will also be obliged before long to choose
a seat of Government in the Transvaal-
The choice lies, of course, between Pre-
toria and Johannesburg Americans would
probably decide on Pretoria. but English
men argue, more soundly perhaps. that
the only way to check the exercise of un-
due or corrupt influence by the mine own
ers of the Rand is to force publicity upon
them by installing the legislature in the
business centre. To install 1t in Pretoria
invites the employment of the profess
sional lobbyist and his dubious practices.
while, IL the atmosphere of Johannesburg
is somewhat overburdened with wealth.
the rich man at any rate is known and
visible. and there is a better chance of
getting him to come into the open and
speak up when he wants something al the
hands OF the State. It is not thought in
England that the American precedent of
pitching the State capitals in country viii
lages has turned out favOrdbly either for
the cause of good government or of poll
ticaI cleanliL ess. The Transvsal accord

United States have agreed to forego. a

official site OF the Legislature, but also
the commercial, financial and intellectual
centre OF the country.-Chicago Chronicle

sight had been enfeebIed by age; they
bore them constantly between their teeth
and laid them down only for eating and
drinking. It was even claimed that the
carbuncle emitted light in darkness, and
that the thickest clothing could not stop
its rays. Without ell the exaggeration of
such legends, it was believed for long
time that rubies contained luminous rays
The truth is that they have double re-
fraction and send out the red rays with
unequaled brilliancy. Trayersed in a
vacuum by an electric current they are
illuminated with red fire of extreme in
tensity. The greatest heat does not
change their form or their color.
The largest ruby known in Europe is
said to be one that the Russian caravans
brought from China with other precious
stones in exchange for their peltries, and
which forms today one of the rarest or
naments of the imperial court of Russia.

CLUES TO IDENTITY.
Little Unconsidcrcd Things Help Dc
tectives and Searchcrs.

The number of clues each of us car
ries with us every day of our lives. and
by which detectives could surely identity
us, is endless.
Take clothes first of all. a man. as
rule gets all his clothes from the same
tailor; but. whether lie does or not, and
however carefully he endeavors to cut
off every tag and mark. that tailor would
have no difficulty in identifying the gar
ments he has made. Thread, stitching,
buttons. lining-aIl tell their own tale
More particularly so do what tailors call
specials" These are simply special
pockets-fountaln pen and pencil pock-
cts. eye-glass pockets, watch pockets
lined with wash leather, cigar, ticket
flask and inner waistcoat pockets.
A watch brought murderer to justice
about four years ago 1t was not stolen
one. but his own, that he had had ior
years. His defence was an alioi. he very
nearly proved that he had not been at the
scene of the crime within three months
of the date of the murder Had not one
of the detectives engaged in the case been
formerly a jewelers. apprentice the man
would have got off. But inside the crimi-
nails watch case Was the record. written
so that only a matchmaker could read it,
that the watch had been in the hands ol a
ieweler for repairs the very day before
the murder. The watch was submitted 10
a number of watchmal5ers, and at last
recognized by one who had put into 1t
new handspring The alibi was broken
down. and in the end the prisoner made
a full confession.
The man who has ever gone to good
dentist has left behind him lifelong rec
ord which would enable that practitioner
TO identify him with absolute certainty.
Such n dentist makes note of every tooth
he stops, and more particularly what he
puts in it. Stopptngs are of dozens OF dif-
ferent kinds in these days. Plain gold or
plain amalgam is com paratively rarely
used. Gold and platinum in various pro-
portions and many other metals are em-
ployed. so that, unless a criminal has all
his teeth pulled out. he can most certain
" be identified. Even then a plate is as
sure q clue as a coat.-New York Sun.

SOME NEW DISEASES.
Mysterious Malndics Which Doctors
Cannot Yet Classify.


Cannot Yet Classify.
When Solomon declared that there is
nothing new under the sun. the art of the
physician was yet in its infancy. All
practitioners of the present day bear tes-
timony to the fact that new diseases of the
human system are constantly developing
and of necessity they require new modes
Of treatment.
One disease which the doctors are try
ing to find out about with very little sue
cess, is beri-beri, which seems to be iden-
teal with the sleeping sickness" of the
west coast of Africa. The attention which
the medical profession has paid recently
to eastern and tropical diseases has
brought beri-beri to the fore, whereas
little scientific attention used to be paid
to it.
Negroes are peculiarly susceptible to
the disease. and on the west coast of
Africa whole villages Of natives have been
known to lie down and sleep themselves
to death. Some time ago there was an
ou' break of this disease in lunatic asy-
lUm in Dublin. and several patients slept

East, came to appear in Dublin is a mys-
terry. Recently the Norwegian bark Tau
rus put into Falmouth, England having
had seven cases and four deaths from
beri-beri on her way from Jacksonville,
Fla. Here, again. is a mystery, for the
disease is unknown in Florida. English
and American soldiers serving in the Far
East rarely suffer from beri-beri, but
French and Spanish garrisons are greatly
subject to it, couple of years ago cut
of a garrison of $50 at post in F.ench
Tonquin, fifty died from beri-beri.
As If the doctors were not bothered
enough with the old disease, new one
has appeared in Sardinia and Sicily. The
doctors in these Mediterranean islands
recently noticed that many of the peas
ants showed symptoms of poisoning from
eating beans They developed curious
symptoms, and all of them were overcome
with a drowsy stupor. In some cases
those predisposed to the disease have
been seen to fall unconscious simply from
inhaling the scent of bean field in flow
er. Yet to the average person there is
nothing poisonous about beans. Horri-
BILE thought! Suppose this new disease
should spread TO Boston.
Another disease which puzzles doctors
is that form of idiocy known as creti-
nism. Why does it exist only in certain
districts? 1t has been said that it is epi-
demic only in limestone regions, yet there
are plenty of places where the rock is Of
this character and yet the disease is un-
known. For instance. it is very rare in
England, where there is plenty of mag
nesilm limestone, and prevalent in Sim
liar districts in France. 1t generally is
put down as being peculiar to mountain
districts. yet on the Island of Nieder-
werth, below Coblentz on the Rhine, there
are 131 cases among $50 people. Chicago
