LIVERPOOL. Dec 2S.-The journal of
Commerce, which has heen investigat-
ing the story that Americans are buying
up the Clyde shipyards, finds that while
there is no need for apprehension, yet
the matter is more serious than many in
the trade supposed.
An American lawyer, who has been dis
tinguished in the formation OF trusts and
who was the chief operator in the deals
leading to the establishment Of the
American cotton syndicate, visited the
Dennys, Russells, and others to discuss
the matter.
1t is believed that one of the builders
he approached estimated the lowest fig.
ure for the purchase OF the yards which
would receive consideration at ESQ, 900, 600
This sum exceeded the expectation OF the
agent and he left. He stated his inten-
tion OF returning later on.

our earth was probably about as large
as the present orbit of our moon, which
it cast off. This earth nebuia vas COM
paratively small and shrunk rapidly.
From what is known of the length of
its nebular radius, it IS difficult to see
how its temperature ever could have
exceeded about LOCO degrees Cent?
grade. 1 do not believe, therefore, that
there ever was heat enough here TO va
porize iron, although the temperature
was sufficient to fuse lava such as now
issues from our volcanoes. It was for
merly held by scientists that the interi-
or Of the earth was a fiery globe filed
with molten liquid substances, and that
the volcanoes were vents analogous to
chimneys. 1t is probable. however. that
the heat does not increase after a Ger
tain depth has been reached. Beyond
that. it remains uniform throughout
the entire interior of the globe. If the
earth ever had been as hot as many of
the planets are today, all Of our atmo-
sphere would have been driven off into
space and this would now be an lirless
world. The earth still continues its
shrinking: slowly now, but as certainly
as ever. The earthquakes are the REM
nants of its shrinking throes.
The great planets, Neptune, Uranus,
Saturn, and Jupiter, after being detach-
ed from the mother nebula, also went
through the regular shrinking process.
As they shruBk, their temperatures
rose higher and higher. until finally the
solid matter melted, and they became
gaseous as they are today.

As time goes on, and the heat Increases,

A BEAR AND BEER.
A Hot Springs story Told by N Trav-
cling Man

while in Hot Springs, Ark, several
years ago." remarked a travelling man. Il
was very much amused by the antics Of
a big black bear that was stationed up
in Happy Hollow. The bear was chained
to a tree, and was passing through all
kinds OF motions to amuse the idlers who
had gathered about the place, waltzing
one minute and doins an awkward polka
the next. and IL all seemed to greatly
delight the spectators. The owner finally
asked the bear II he would not Ike TO
have glass Of beer. Apparently the bear
understood the offer, and was almost full
sOmely polite ia evidenciug an acceptance
The bear was brought a good, cold pint
bottle. Then there was more waltZing,
more dancing of all kinds, and the beer
seemed TO quicken and accelerate the
bears movements. one of the spectators
set up the beer for the bear The bear
continued to dance but occasionally
fellow to come to the front witha bottle Of
beer. The spectators kept buying beer for
the beast Just to see how much it would
take to i-coxicate the animal. The owner
apparently did not care how much beer
the bear drank The spectators got to
drinking, too. Every time the bear would
drink they would drink, and they would
say their little toast to the pet. The
bear would drink with every fellow who
made the offer. The bear had no Ia
vorites. and the contents of a bottle would
be gulped down almost in a jiffy. This
thing kept up all during the afternoon.
and / saw several groups OF men go
staggering away from the place with
about all they could carry conveniently
When the last group staggered nolsily
away the bear was still sober ana ap-
parently anxious for newcomers VINO
might want to try TO drink a bear un-
der the table, as the saying goes among

EETTING A TIGER.
One of the Rnrest Forms of Big
Game Hunting.

/ am among the few fortunate English
men who have participated in the rarest
form of big game hunting-the netting Of
"A royal tiger. To speak Of a royal Ben
GAL tiger in this connection would be
geographically Inaccurate. for il is only
in one corner of the Madras Presidency
that this sport takes place. This is the
Wynaad, an elevated plateau. broken up
into countless hills. Here coffee, tea,
and cinchona are cultivated, and twenty
years ago the district came into
brief but notorious prominence in the
city Of London, owing to the dis
covery of gold Companies were has
tily formed and heavily capitalized. but
the mines never gave any promise of
paying dividends even on reasonable Ss..,-
ital. owing to refractory ore The Wy
naad is. however, a paradise for sports
men. Elephants and bison roam wild
here and several kinds Of deer. which
provide food in plenty for tigers and
Ieopards. Consequently these big cats
rarely attack cattle, and viii not look at
a tethered calf or kid. The hunting of
them is very difficult, for cover aboundS.
BY lucky chance a man may stumble on
one when he has his rifle with him and
thus get a shot, otherwise he may spend
months, and even years, without catch
ing a glimpse Of them, although oft on
Silly night he viii hear their loud purr
as they come up from drinking at a
stream where, in the morning, their pugs
will be plainly visible in the soft red
clay.
The natives of the Wynaad are good
sportsmeu. and they have experienced
equal difficulty in bagging the lordly deer
slayer. Nor is the desire To secure tiger
skin solely "a matter Of sport with them.
Now and again stripes" turns cattle lift

for beef glutted ne viii decimate a herd.
II can. therefore, b. understood that
among Wynaad cultivators there is an
inbred animosity against tigers very SINH

toward the fox. With peculiar audacity
they devise a simple system Of netting
which in favorable circumstances is al
most invariably successful. To under

ENGINEERING IN CHINA.
CeIestiaIs Ahead of Us In Some of
Our Inventions.

From what has been learned about Chi
ma in recent years the conclusion lies up
permost that while Chinese engineering
has proceeded quite successfully along
static lines. it has rested for centuries
without progress in all that involves mo-
ton Thus. while their fixed structures
are notable and frequently beautiful, their
machines for doing work and moving
people and goods are rudely primitive. The
curious Chinese wheelbarrow is still a
mos: important factor in land trans
portatlon. but what in the United States,
for example. is considered very modern
cage construction" for buildings. has
been practiced by the Chinese for centu-
ries, and is found all over China This
is one of the many interesting Obserya-
tions made by William Barclay Parsons
during a railroad survey in 1898. and re-
corded in his recent book entitled IAN
American Engineer in China"
Another example Of how the Chinese
have, by centuries, anticipated some our
modern inventions, is afforded by the
system OF dividing up the hull of a boat
by buIkheads as a protection against
leakage, this, with the Chinese. dating
back further than the thirteenth century.
The number of compartment in the Chi
uese trading VeSSt Is depended upon the
number OF owners in a vessel. John II.
Morrison, in an article in Casters Mag
azine" several years asJ told that in a
large vessel there was sometimes as many
as 100 each partner shipping his own
goods in his own compartment. which he
fitted up TO suit himself. and either went
in person or sent one of his family to
take charge OF his property.
There is thus some question whether the
Chinese bulkhead or compartment system
was designed for insuring safety for the
vessel rather than for commercial conve-
ni.uce: but there Is no doubt that the
compartment plan existed at that early
Hate, and that the compartments, too,
were made substantial ana watertight-

BARBARISM IN EUROPE.
Cruel Practices Of the Ancestors of
Western Nations


In a grave Of the Neolithic era, lately
opened at Flomborn, on the borders OF
Hesse and the Palatinate. a coating Of
red earth was found on one of the skulls.
II proved To be oxide of iron. and Prof Vir-
chow, who was experimenting the opera
tions. has no doubt that the face Of the
corpse had been painted with it: in the
course of many centuries the flesh has
vanished leaving this color. like a mask.
upon the bone. Many good people would
be not only surprised but inc snant at
the suggestion that their forefathers
adorned themselves with paint, like the
yilest savages of the present day or
course, they admit that the race was
'barbarous," but only in a vague. gen
eral sense; when particulars are adduced
they revolt.
Ia the same way everybody recognizes
that the Teutonic invaders OF Britain
worshipped idols. But few care to re-
member that from those invaders they
themselves descend. The convenient but
monstrous word 'Anglo-Saxon" enables
us 10 ignore many awkward facts The
doings OF Angio-SaXOn@ or ancient
Britons are not visibly connected with
Englishmen and Welshmen of a later
time. And there lies the practical OBJ
lection 20 the terms-they interrupt the
story of the race, causing multitudes of
people to fancy that the inhabitants Of
this island before the Conquest differed
from those after it. But in regard to
the custom OF painting the face or body
we do not know that in any other in
stance the material has been found in
stu; dyed bones have been turned up
often enough, but it was not suggested
that the color had been applied originally
to the skin. Perhaps nobody thought Of
that before Prof. Virchow.
But vessels containing a sediment Of
paint are common. and We must suppose
