On the Interoceanic railway OF
Mexico a part of the track has been
laid on ties of jarrah wood imported
from Australia for this purpose. The
jarrah wood is obtained from one of
the largest tress of the forests of Aus
tralia, which grows to an average
height of two hundred feet, and is
about four feet in diameter at the
trunk. There is usually an interval of
$50 feet to the first branch. These
trees furnish timber which is sound In
every respect, there being an absence
of dry rot. gum veins and other de-
fects that often characterize large
trees.

A "New-Laid-Egg Society" has been
organized in England. In furtherance
of its object collecting depots are being
established at various points. The
formation of such a union not only
suggests the almost universal propen-
sity of human beings to increase the
varieties and numbers of societies, but
it testifes forcibly to the fact that
recentness in an egg is form of new
richens which sarcasm spares and
good sense welcomes.

A man named Chandloux has Just
hanged himself at Nevers. France. The
circumstances of the suicide are in no
way extraordinary except for the fact
that the man was the fifth husband of
woman, all of whose previous hus-

hanged himself. the second perished in
fire, the third drowned himself, and
the fourth and fifth have both been
found hanged, and in each case,
strangely enough, on a pear tree.

Spinoza's Letters.

Some admirers of Spinoza propose
to photograph the letters existing In
his autograph. This step appears to
have been suggested by the fact that
the important letter DE Infinite"
which was sold at Amsterdam at
auction in 1860. is missing, and there
fore the preservation of Spinoza'
other letters by multiplying facsimiies
of them seems important to Dutch stu
dents.

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
MAY CAPTURE THE Willy COM
MANDANT BOTHA.
RETREAT CUT OFF BY GORDON
Hemmed in by British on One Side and
Warlike Natives on Another,
Escape Seems Ir1pos-
sible
(By Associated PreSs.)

New York, Oct. 14.-In explanation OF
the statements of some Of the London
dailies concerning the war in South
Africa, the London correspondent of the
Tribune cables as follows:
The Standard thinks that the British
troops have a good chance of capturing
General Botha. Very little is known
here in regard to the movements of the
Boer commandment general since the
failure of his attempt on the Natal
frontier. His wagons. with an escort
under Grobelaar, have been detached
and sent eastward. Botha, with his
main body, marched in the same direc-
ton for some time. only to find that
his retreat was being cut off by one of
the British columns. which was appar-
emily moving parallel with him.
He then marched due north to within
few miles of Pet Relief, where he is
believed to have halted in a difficult and
perilous position. He cannot break back
toward Zululand or the Natal frontier
without throwing himself right into the
arms of his pursuers. If he goes north
he will touch Swaziland, and will get
into trouble with the warlike natives.
He may possibly drift away toward the
west and find a temporary refuge in the
passes Of the Elandsberg. On the whole,
the Standard considers that the Trans
vaal is in a tight corner. The Daily
News, on the other hand, takes the view
that General Botha has got clear away.

Rode U nder False Banner.

The dignity Of certain Sunday
school picnic was demoralized the other
day before the pupils and teachers
were well out Of town. It was ar
ranged that the majority of pupils
should go to the grove in a trolley car.
and that the pastor Of the flock sew
eral teachers and the baskets should
follow in wagon hired for the occasion.
This suggestion was followed out and
the procession started auspiciOusly. The
wagon was a trifle in front, and as the
trolley car passed 1t the pupils of the
Sunday-school saw that that made them
fear to look again. Their pastor was
sitting on the seat beside the driver,
his broad brimmed hat on his knee, his
hand on the support of gaudy yellow
umbrella that shaded the seat, and on
the umbrella was this inscription:
Drink Firewood whisky"
1t was too late for the scandalized pu-
pills to expostulate. They were whisked
by in short order and so it was not until
he reached the picnic grounds that the
good man knew what strange device tho
banner bore which he had upheld for
Ave miles.
When the party returned the sun was
still in the heavens. but the umbrella
was furled and carefully tucked under
the seat to prevent a scandal.-Balti-

foreseen that the widespread crop fall

subjects in this empire during the APP

The word famine is not used in the

famine stricken districts as places that
are in an unfortunate condition as re-
spects the harvests." but the facts that
are freely admitted show that the
struggle to keep the peasant population
alive until a new harvest will be harder
than has been known since 1872.
The extent of the disaster can be
vaguely surmised from an inspection Of

which gives the amount of governmental
