Americans.
 CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 28.-The banquet given last night at the Chapul- tepec restaurant by the United States delegation to the pan-American confer ence in honor of their colleagues of Mexico and the other republics of America was great success.

 You will find the delegates from the United States ready and willing to aid in all that tends to promote political and commercial prosperity of the re- public. We beg you to join us in help ing to maintain peace, which is the true and sure road to wealth, prosper ity, happiness and liberty.'

 The liberal and progressive policy of your president has the respect and ad- miration of the people of all the Ameri- can republics, and propose we stand and drink to the health and long life of President Diaz and those associated with him in state affairs"

Seventy Commaudos Left.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.--A dispatch to The Times from Pretoria says there are still seventy recognized comman- dos and bands of Boers ranging in strength from fifty to 400 men in the field, of which twenty-three are in the Transvaal, thirty-Cne in the Orange River Colony and thirteeH in Cape Col ony. The task of running fhem down must necessarily be slow, but it is sure, and there is no ground for impatience.

THE EARTH's INTERIOR HEAT.
Some Day BE Transformed Into
Power and Utilized.

The stored energy of the heat of
the earth's interior is beyond power of
calculation and some not entirely I'M
successful attempts to utilize this have
already been made, says Casters Mag
azine. From a short distance below
the surface the temperature increases
downward at an average rate which in
dicates that at depth of so miles it
is not less than 5000 degrees Fahren-
heit, and there is abundant reason for
believing that the earth is an intense
ly hot body with only thin layer of
poorly conducting, cold surface mat
ter. These are the essential conditions
of heat engine of enormous capacity,
and as in many parts of the world com
paratively high temperatures are
found very near the surface, while in
all parts considerable ranges are pos
sible within reasonable differences of
level, the interior heat of the earth,
which has an origin more remote in
time than, the sun or its own axial
rotation, is worthy of more serious
consideration as possible and reason
able source of power. It's Importance
win be greatly enhanced when we are
able to transform heat energy directly
into electricity on a large scale and
with economy, avoiding the great
waste which necessarily accompanies
the use of the steam engine; and this
must soon come about

New seasicLness Kennedy.

Prof. Heinz, of the University of
Erlangen, claims to have discovered
an infallible and very simple anti,
dote against seasickness. Draw a
long and vigorous breath at frequent
intervals" he says, "and you will never
suffer from this malady." The rea-
son, he explains, is because the mi
tial cause of seasickness is to be found
in a-lobe of the brain, the sensitiveness
of which reacts on the stomach, and
that when fresh air is breathed at fire.
quent intervals the blood becomes
charged with oxygen and thus the Of
Tending lobe loses its sensitiveness.
He adds that he has made several ex-
Periments on himself for the purpose
of proving the efficacy of this novel
remedy, and has also completely cured
several persons who used to be sea-
sick whenever they went on the wa
ter. Finally, he points out that the
antidote costs nothing and can be test.

ORIGIN OF kBSINTHE.
1t Was First "a HARMLESS Medical
Remedy Used by a French
Physician.

Temperance people in Europe were
recently much surprised at the discov-
cry that the deadly absinthe was orig
inally an extremely harmless medical
remedy, says the New York Herald.
1t was a French physician who first
used it. His name was Ordinaire, and
he was living as a refugee at Couvet, in
Switzerland, at the close of the eight
zenith century. Like many other coun-
try doctors at that time, he was also
a druggist, and his favorite remedy
was a certain elixir of absinthe, of
which he alone had the secret.
AT his death he bequeathed the for
mula to his housekeeper, Mile. Grand
pierre, and she sold it to the daugh-
ters of Lieut.. Henriod. They culti-
waited in their little garden the herbs
necessary for connecting it, and, after
they had distilled certain quantity
of the liquid they sold it on commits
sion to itinerant peddlers, who quick
ly disposed of it in the adjacent towns
and villages.
Finally, during the first decade of
the nineteenth century, wealthy dis
tiller purchased the formula, and very
soon afterward he placed on the mar
ket the modern absinthe, which diff
fers greatly from the old medical rem
edy, since the latter contained no al
coho1 and very little absinthe.

EATING RAW HEAT.
nearly All Cases OF TrIchinosis Are
Due to This Practice by
Germans

That uncooked meat should be eaten
by civilized people, and to such an
extent as to make it a matter of the
highest national and economic concern
between two of the most progressive
of nations, would, at first sight, seem
absurd, and yet the habit of the Ger
man people of eating raw pork brings
about tariff disputes and economic
wars with America, says the American
Medicine. Thousands of microscopes
are employed in Germany to prevent
trichinosis. A 1.-THE of the expense and
trouble expended in preventing fool
ish people from eating raw meat would
accomplish the result much more per-
fectly. And this under a government
both grandmotherly and great-grand-
motherly! DR.. Stiles finds that in 274
cases of trichinosis in America, POS
were in Germans. The fact is of sig
nifcance also as an illustration of the
, slowness of the acceptance of science
by the people, and of how Indifferent
we may become in the matter. Among
the most scientific people, and with
most perfectly organized profession,
the simple and effective method of pre-
venting the disease in question is ig-
nOred and interest devoted to silly tar
if and ineffective protective devices.
Science has in many things outrun
practical realization. There. is needed
a more determined effort on the part
of the profession and of the govern
ment to bring home to the people the
knowledge as yet entirely too the
