a good deal of fun has been poked
at Americans who either tuck their
napkins under their chins or drape
them across their shirt bosoms at din
ner," said a Vermont man who has
just returned from London. Il have
come TO the conclusion that this is not
American, but English. have seldom
seen napkins so used in the good hotels
and clubs in this country, but in the
Hotel Cecil in London around the din
ing table seemed to be one vast ex-
panse of napkins. Without exaggera-
ton, three-fourths of the men whom l
saw in the dining-room had their nap-
kins tucked smoothly across their
shirt fronts. Ii pleased me more than
anything that | saw in London. not be-
cause approve of the practice. but be.
cause it is one of the things that Eng.
fish writers a few years ago used to
describe as Amerieanisms. The men
behind the napkins at the Cecil wers
.sngsishmen, however, if accent and
appearance count for anything.

THE DISPERSAL OF ANIMALS.
How Chance Agencies Convey stray
Brutes from One Locality
To Another.

The manner in which animals may
be conveyed from one area or region
10 another by what may be- called
chance agencies has always formed a
subject of much interest in the eyes ~
naturalists. The same opinion may be
expressed Of the dispersal of plants,
says the London Chronicle. Darwin
found over SO seeds in little clod Of
earth attached to the leg OF a migrat-
ing bird, and we can readily imagine
how such agencies serve to widen the
distribution of life. Sir c. Lyell gives
an instance of pig-an animal popu-
larry believed TO be anything but an
adept at swimming found far
out at sea brayely making its way to-
ward 'some haven of rest. Such ami
mails as tortoises may easily be con-
veyed on driftwood over long tracts Of
ocean. A recent report of the Indian
marine survey gives a case in point.
A female leopard was brought down
the Moulmein river and came aboard a
cargo steamer. Then she swan TO
land and was thereafter dispatched.
Snakes were also found on the floats
of the paddlewheels of the surveying
steamer, having been carried down by
the food. 4 lucky settlement in a
new territory thus implies the extend
ed distribution OF race. II IS inter
esting to note how greatly what we
may call chance may influence the ex-
tension of life over the earth's surface.

LIcHENS AS FOOD.
Many Varieties of Sea Growths Are
Used by the Chinese and Some
BY Americans.

In "The Imperial Book Upon Foods"
a curious volume issued by the Chinese
government, over 40 MOSES and sea
liehens are recommended for food pur-
,ioses, and instructions given respect
ing their preparation. In general they
are washed So as to remove all sand
and shells. They are then dried in the
sun or in kilns. Next they are cut up
and stored When they are to be used
they are boiled for several hours and
strained. The filfrate is not thrown
away. but IS treated with another
preparation, again filteryi. and the
liquid evaporated. The ETst filtration
saves about 25 per cent, and the sec
ond 40 per cent. The solid from the
FIRST operation ranges from a pure
mucilage 70 a mucilage mixed with al
buminoids and starch. The solid from
he second operation contains a little
mucilage and starch, considerable sol
uble starch. and the major part of deX-
trine and grape sugar.
In our own country a small but grow
ing industry developed on the coasts Of
Maine and Massachusetts. Four va
rieties of dulse are collected, of which
the best and the most popular is the
sponge dulse, which ranges from light
yellow to yellow mixed with purple.
This when dried becomes pale gray,
yellow or pink The natives boil il for
half an hour strain IL through a colan-
der, add milk, and thus make a very
appetizing and nutritious pudding sim

ploy il as thickening for sauces, and
favored with a little lemon and hard
boiled eggs as sauce for fishes.

There was a lawsuit Saturday morning

defendant arising from company deal
where the three men shipped carload Of
lumber over year ago. Mr.. Dean had at
that time shipped considerable other lum-
Der and received a check which oyerpald

plaintiffsi evidence, was in payment for the

brought by plaintiffs as partners and that
there was no fidueiary capacity on the

TROUBLE WITH A TELESCOPE.
Forty-Inch Glass OF the YerLes Oh
servatory lntertered with BY
Industrious spiders.

Continued observation with the tel
escope of the Nerkes observatory re-
veaIed the unpleasant existence Of a
number Of curious streaks Of light run-
ming horizontally, whose appearance
had certainly never been noticed be-
fore, and gave rise TO redoubled un-
sasiness, says Good Words. And yet
everything seemed right with the
glass, viewed eternally, and the most
searching investigation could discover
no cause. At last, in desperation. the
eyepiece end was unscrewed, and Prof
Ellerman, as slimmest of the party
was hidden to crawl, as he well could
do, along in the tube itself and see Il
he could discover aught amiss. lie
crept along Well enough. SO wide Is
the tube, till he got beyond the center
when the telescope began to turn over
with his weight. and he would have
slid down on the top of the glass had
not the other end been promptly seized
and held fast. Then he continued his
journey, and in another moment had
discovered the unsupported author OF
the mischief. an overindustrious spi-
der and her equally Woodworking
progeny, who had succeeded in filling
up the entire end OF the tube with a
mass Of cobwebs IN the hope Of catch
ing what must have been wholly inn
aginary flies The webs and their
spinners We're carefully removed. and
from that day to this the behavior Of
the Yerkes 4o-inch glass has been all
that heart could desire.

CHARGES OF CRUELTY.

Crew of the Transport Sumner Said
to Have Been Tortured by the
Captain.
b San Francisco, March elf stories
told by more than thirty men who
reached this city on the transport
Pennsylvania, are true, Capt. Baker Of
the transport Sumner is likely to find
himself the object Of official investiga-
ton. The men who tell the stories
were members of the crew of the Sum-
ner and were Observation-Disclosures !"
as they express tat Nagasaki. They
charge Baker with extreme cruelty to
two Of their number and with drunken
ness. It seems that 5000 was stolen
from the commissarys Office on the
transport and suspicion fell upon one
man. He was arrested and thrown
into "brig" and after several days Inn
prisonment was SO tortured by thirst
that he named two men as being
guilty. These men were put in the
brig thirty days, and for three days
had neither food nor water; yet at the
end of this time Baker was forced to
release them as he could get no proof.
Still he made no apologies for keeping
the men in confinement and for tortur-
ing them with thirst in the tropics.
