WARNING TO AMERICANS.
United states Consulate in London
Issues Circular Showing the Vnn-
ity of Guests After Estates

The United States consulate in Lon
don has issued circular warning
Americans who seek English fortunes
and landed estates that most of such
claims are spurious. The dreamers are
of three classes in general, the object
of their quests being landed estates,
money supposed to be lodged in the
Bank of England and unclaimed
chancery funds. The circular says:
AS to land no action o recover real
estate in Great Britain can be brought
after IL years from the time the right
accrued, or, 1l case of disabilities or
infancy, after 30 years. 1t is a pro-
digious error 10 think that there is un-
claimed property deposited in the
Bank of England and earning fabulous
interest The bank keeps a record Of
unclaimed stock and dividends and
nothing else. Anyone who thinks him
self entitled to these must furnish pre-
else details respecting the name of the
stakeholder, the amount of the hold
ing and the date of issue.
"The total amount of unclaimed
chancery funds is only about c 100000.
Not more than half that sum exceeds
& $50 per account, and not more than
one-scventecnth of these exceed
c 900"
Consul General Osborne said recent
ly: 1--WE consider that we have a dull
week when less han eight or ten of our
fellow countrymen apply for million
dollar fortunes. Ninety-ninc per cent.
of the cases submitted are entirely
visionary. Advertisements for alleged
heirs or next of kin are The source of
many OF these great expectations. A
thriving business is done by some al
legedagcntS who thus traffic in Yankee

SNOW AND WATER SUPPLY.
Some Popular Notions Exploded by
Recent Experiments of the
Weather bureau. .uhi l4slttf

Some very interesting conclusions
have been published iy the experts
of the United States weather bureau,
who have for several years been
studying the effect of winter snow
fall on the water supply of the sue
ceeding summer. The observations
have been confined to the arid regions
of the west, more particularly Colo
rado and Idaho, where the rivers and
streams derive their principal water
supply from the melting of the snow
on the mountains. The generally
prevalent belief that winter of
heavy snowfall is succeeded by
swollen streams in spring and sum
mer is not necessarily correct. 1t is
not the quantity of snow that falls
during the winter so much as the con-
dition of the soil when winter sets in,
the quality of the snow and the time
streams shall continue full late in the
season and furnish abundance of wa
ter for irrigating canals.
An unusually heavy snowfall in
March will certainly be followed by
drought in late spring and summer
unless this snow is preceded by a
snowfall in the early winter. 1t is
the snow that falls in November and
December and thus becomes packed
hard during the winter and melts
slowly in the spripg and summer that
keeps water in the streams till sum
mer is nearly over, The snow that
falls in March and February has no
time to become packed and hardened
The first warm breath of spring melts
it with rush. the streams overflow
their banks, freshets flood the coun-
try for a few days; then gradually
the streams subside and a drought

NEW DAIRY PRODUCT.
Manufacture of PlnsmOn from MIL;
After the Butter Has Been
Extracted.

Many new Industries have been de.
veloped in the British isles at the
close of the last century. One of
the most novel had its birth in the
vicinity of Buckingham-na that
of the manufacture from the milk OF
creameries, after the butter has been
extracted, of substance known by
the highly classical name of plasmon,
says Chambers journal. This sub
stance takes its name from the Greek,
meaning that which gives form"
The fresh milk as it comes from
the COW is put into separator, all
the cream being removed by this
method. The separated milk is aft
erwards treated so as to coagulate
all the protoids of the milk: and this
coagulated mass is then kneaded and
dried at a temperature of 20 degrees
centigrade under an atmosphere of
carbonic acid gas. When perfectly
free from moisture, the plasmon is
ground into a granular powder which
is completely soluble in hot water.
AS to the economic value of plas-
mon there can be no doubt, when it
is known the German government
supplies it in very large quantities to
the army and navy. AS a portable,
concentrated nutrient, according to
the German government department
for the investigation of foodstuffs for
the troops, it has been found that
one ounce of this powder is equal
in nourishing and sustaining proper
ties to three and quarter pounds
of the finest beefsteak, or to about
10 or ~ pints of milk.

In the Congo region there is n most

TEST WAS TOO EXPENSIVE.
The British Government Would Not
stand for the Price of Inventor
MnNim's Ammunition.

One of the new knights of Great
Britain is an American, Hiram s. Max
i'm, the inventor of the gun that bears
his name. II was in recognition of this
invention that the late Queen Wet oria
bestowed upon him the honor of
knighthood.
When the Maxim quick-firing gun
was being tested by the government,
with "A view of finding out it's weak
points, its inventor was asked to have
10000 rounds fired at the highest pos
sible speed. The experiment was sat
isfactoriy carried out, but the chair.
man of the committee of investigation
was still unsatisfied.
"That's all very well as far as it
goes" he exclaimed, but could you
guarantee your gun to go on firing au.
tomatically at the same rate for, say,
- hours?"
81 can" was the quiet reply, "and /
will--on one condition" ...
"And that is"
THAT the government finds and
pays for the ammunition."
At first the committee were inclined
to close with the offer, but when it was
discovered that $4,000 rounds would
be fired and that the cost of the ex-
pertinent would be something like e5,-
76O they dispensed with the trial.
