They belong to hitherto unknown
race of EsquimauX dwelling on a
bleak and supposedly uninhabited ISL

These people have been termed lost

that they stand to-day at the very be-

This, after all, is only a modifica-
tion of the huge sun motor built by
Ericsson and set up in Boston, many
years ago, the boiler in that case being
long tube running longitudinally
with the mirror. Whether the heat
from the sun can compete with the
heat from coal, from an economical
standpoint, is, however, doubtful. On
a cloudy day the sun motor would
have to go out of business altogether.
Perhaps at Los Angeles, which is in
the sunny land, more sunshiny days
will be found than anywhere else on
earth. In these latitudes there would
be many days in the year when such
an engine would be altogether useless,
while a coal engine would be always
reliable.-New York Herald

like an inverted umbrella, consisting
of a reflector thirty-three feet six
inches across the top, lined with rows
of small mirrors. These reflect the
sunlight, concentrating it upon small
boiler in the centre, in which steam is

REPORTS CRUELTIES
 BY THE BOERS
LORD KITCHENER SAYS SOME ENGLISH PRISONERS WERE KINDLY TREATED AND OTHERS TORTURED WHILE WOUNDED.

London, December 12.-The war office issued statement tonight dealing with the Boer treatment of Colonel Bensons wounded at Brakenlaagte. which is the result of special investigation of the matter instituted by Lord Kitchener.
 The statement sets forth that eighteen officers and men of Colonel Benson command were kindly and even carefully treated by the Boers, while the other seventy-five men who were examined tes- tified that they witness and suffered atrocities worse than those which fol- lowed the Vlakfontein disaster. These latter said that unarmed and wounded men lying around the guns were killed at close range and that the survivors of the engagement suffered torture being robbed and stripped of their clothing in spite of their wounds and broken limbs,
 Lord Kitchener says that evidently the Boer leaders are no longer able to re- press murder and outrage on the part of their subordinates.

Young GOrbett" Is to
 Marry Cake Walk Champion

Maud Slater, the champion cake-walker of Colorado who, 1t is announced, will marry Young Corbett," the new pugil- istic champion, Christmas Day, is one of the most remarkable young persons in the West. For four years she has been earning large sums of money by giving cake walk exhibitions and dances. The former were given, generally, at private entertainments. At one of her recent dances her net profits were nearly $4OO.
 When the rag-time craze struck Colo rado Maud was attending school in Grip pie Creek. She was frequently disciplin- ed for "conduct unbecoming lady" which consisted in walking to classes with a step other than that prescribed by the social code. It may have lacked dignity, but it certainly teemed with rhythm.
 One night Maud entered cake-walk contest in Cripple Creek and won dia- mond ring and s10O in gold From that time she devoted herself to dances, cake walks and similar affairs. In these she succeeded quite we'll for she has sever. al thousand dollars in the bank and long list of high-priced patrons, who en- gage her for parlor entertainments

the judges at a cake-walk and he award ed the first prize to pretty girl named Florence Woods. Maud was angry and tried to fight the little pugilist. He did not resent her attack and she promptly resorted to tears. They won and "Young Corbett was quite willing to make up." The friendship later grew more serious, especially after the death of Swift Hens ley, Mauds walking partner, to whom she was engaged.
 When Corbett left Denver to train for the McGovern fight he promised Maud he would return and marry her Christmas Day That he intends to keep his prom ise Is shown by the fact that he has al- ready ordered a Christmas dinner for a thousand poor children, who will be his wedding guests The affair will be given in the arena of the Colorado Athletic Club. where the pugilst made his first professional appearance.
 Personally Miss Slater Is a striking girl. She is as 1.-the and willowy as spared with her future husband, and has q punch with both arms that would make an ordinary man vince. On the street she dresses with modest taste, although her rosy cheeks and bright eyes readily attract attention anywhere. It Is said that the girls father is opposed to her marriage with Young Corbett.' She says that she is old enough to take care of herself.

 Baseball cranks pronounce the above aggregation one of the swiftest lot ot players ever in the South, and it is said no team in the Southern League, with the possible exception of New Orleans, can touch it. Manager Haller says Alb Powell has strong bunch of Pelicans for next year, but he hasn't al bit of mar gin on the Birmingham gang. All of the new Iron Barons are well known players, Catcher LaPorte having handled the init in this territory in 1898.
 Several more players have been signed, but they will probably be released, as the list sent by the manager is said to be strong one. If any weak places are dis covered they will be patched up from the string Haller has under contract.

New York, Feb. 21.-According to a

Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the

plans for the establishment of new
cOaling stations Immediately after the
appropriations authorized in the pend
ing naval appropriation act become
available.
Seven hundred thousand dollars viii
be appropriated. A part Of this likely
viii be applied to the Improvement of
American cOaling facilities in Cuba.
Rear Admiral Bradford also has in
mind the location OF a station in Chiri-
Qui Lagoon, Colombia. He has ap-
proved the plans for stations at Mar
ragansett bay and at Manila He also
desires to establish stations at San

and one in Porto Rican waters, or at
St. Thomas, in case of its acquisition.
The department seems TO have given
up all intention of establishing a sta
ton On the cOast of Liberia, because
of the absence of a convenient harbor
in those waters.
