SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Hypnotism is scientifically studied
leges.
A writer in one of the scientific
periodicals recommends walking
backward as a cure for nervous head
ache.
The oldest known weapon was the
club. The clubs of the lake dwellers
of Switzerland, studded with stones
in default of nails, and thus making
formidable weapons, have been recov-
cred from their habitations.
DIR. Charles Hose, of Sarawak, after
many experiments has formed the
theory that the disease beri beri
arises in tropical regions from the
consumption Of moldy rice. DR..
Strangeways Pigg, of Cambridge, has
expounded the theory in England.
1t is a curious fact that in 1870
the Turkish government prohibited
the export of Angora kid skins on the
ground that the trade threatened the
extinction of the Angora goat; but
these animals are now more numer-
GUS than ever, and their usefulness is
far more widely recognized than was
the case century ago.
Oil fuel was recently tried on the
Yarrow torpedo boat Ophir. With
coal alone the speed obtained was
24K knots, with coal and oil 26b
knots an hour. Twenty-eight hun.
bred pounds of coal and 700 pounds
of oil an hour were used. With SOC
pounds of oil alone a speed of IA
knots was easily obtained.
Baron Benvenuto d'Alessandro, ar
Italian, has invented a means OF
checking the force of waves by means
of nets of waterproof hemp. One re
| Gently tried with success at Havre
was 800 feet long by so feet wide
with meshes IL inches apart. The
nets will break the waves at sea, anc
will also be a bulwark for hydraulic
works against heavy surf.
With all the efforts to get into the
various bureaus of the government
it is a fact that for the $1,000 and
400 positions offered laboratory
assistants at the national bureau OF
standards, the examination for which
was to take place on July 6, not q
single applicant appeared. The civil
service commission is unable to &C
count for this. This examination
opened up two positions with excel
lent salaries TO young scientists anc
the lack of interest cannot be &C
counted for

HULL HOUSE FOR PARIS.
Promoters of Institution There Given
Land Formerly Granted to PeO-
pies University.

The promoters of the scheme to
found a Hull House in Paris have
been granted the use of the land
formerly given to the projected Peo-
pies university. 1t is believed the
movement modelled on the Chicago So
cial settlement plan will replace the
university scheme, which has not
been a success.
Ernst Lavisse, of the Sorbonne and
Georges Picot, of the institute, are
among the trustees. The preliminary
work is in charge of Rev. Jacques
Elrdoux and Henry Lamarc, of Chi
cago. The latter is familiar with the
work of Hull House, and has been of
great assistance. He predicts that
the enterprise will pay five per cent.
on the investment.
New York and Chicago architects
will be invited to compete for designs
of the buildings.

Noted Frontier Woman Hunted Up
by Buffalo AuthOress and
Given a Home.

Mrs. Josephine Winfield Brake, of
Buffalo, n. u, authoress and news
paper correspondent, has been in Mon
tana searching for Calamity Jane"
the noted plainswoman. The other
day Mrs. Brake discovered Calamity
Jane in the hut of a negress at Horr,
near Livingston. The woman was suf-
fering with fever, and was broken in
spirit. The scene that followed the
offer of Mrs. Brake to take Calamity
to her own home in Buffalo, where she
could spend the remainder of her days
in comfort, was pathe tic, and the noted
frontierswoman wept like child.
Calamity Jane has been on the from
tier since she was young girl. She
was in the Black Hills at the time of
the killing of Wild Bill civilian Hick-
ok), and it is said that it was she who
captured his murderer. She rendered
valuable service to Custer, Reno, Egan
and other Indian fighters.
OF late years she has drifted about
the state from place to place, making
a livelihood as best she could. During
the last coupe of years she has been
i'll considerable portion of the time
The newspapers printed columns about
her, and through this means the at
tention of Gen. Egan and many other
friends of the woman was called to
her plight. The result was that Mrs.
Brake took the step mentioned. The
two women have left Livingston for
Buffalo.
Calamity Jane is about so years old
Her maiden name was Canary, and she
is said to be from New York. The last
man she married was drayman OF
Livingston named Burk.

BASIS OF FUTURE WARS.
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew Declares
HIS Belief That They VIII
Be Commercial.

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, who is
in Paris, is quoted in a New York
Journal and Advertiser dispatch as
saying: 1.-THE basis of future wars is
commercial. Commercial competition
excites the passions as competitive
prowess in other departments. Ger
many is now our most hostile COM
petitor. The conclusion is obvious:
The issue is to be fought on the sea;
hence the newspapers that are advo-
eating a mighty navy are doing most
patriotic work.
Continental Europe entertains hos
tility against the United States. Eng
land does not, but we do not recipro-
cate her sympathetic feeling. Not
withstanding commercial competition,
all classes there believe that if the
country were in jeopardy we would
come to its assistance.
France will not become very hos
tile, for most of her products are con-
sumed by her own people. Austria
seeks a market for her surplus and
is Influenced by Germany. Italy will
stand with her allies. The difficulty
with Russia will be settled by our ad-
ministration.
"The hostility against us in the va
rious countries of continental Eu-
rope differs only in degree. Never
theless an industrial alliance against
US is impossible. The countries could
not agree as to percentage. We are
their best customer and could retail
ate"

Can't Find Giant sIoth.

"The expedition to Patagonia in
search of the giant sloth has returned
without having discovered it," says
the London Daily Express. "Hesketh
Prichard, chief of the expedition, dur
ing nearly year spent on the eastern
side of the Cordilleras, found some
remains of the giant sloth bearing an
xtraordinary appearance of fresh
ness. He discovered species of puma
new to science and a new lake, in
which were many icebergs. Large
geological archaeological, geological
and bontanical collections were
brought back"

FROG LIKED A MEAT DIET.
when In a Mans stomach He De-
voured Immense Quantities of
1t, Says This Account.

One man whose stomach, and not
his throat, has been for several years
the habitation of a frog, is one of the
curiosities of Dock Watch Hollow,
hamlet nesting among the Watching
mountains, about five miles from
Bound Brook, N. j., says New York
exchange.
Edward Blazier, a farmer, has beeu
ailir,g for some time and his symptoms
have baffied the skill of physicians
of his vicinity, who one by one gave up
the case as incurable. Notwith-
standing the fact that he was unable
to work and was slowly wasting away,
Blazier was the possessor of raven
Gus appetite, being particularly fond
of meat.
When DR.. Fred A. Wild, of Bound
Brook, took up Blazers case two
weeks ago he proceeded to make him
self thoroughly acquainted with the
symptoms. When questioned Blazer
said that he suffered pains in the region
of his stomach and occasionally ex-
perienced a sensation is if omething
animated was moving about. Further
questioning brought out the fact that
the family were in the habit of using
water from a nearby spring for
drinking purposes. This informa ton
confirmed DR.. Wild in his belief and he
urged an operation which was per-
formed the other day, when the doc
tor removed from the patients stom-
ach a full-grown bullfrog more than
five inches long. When taken out the
animal was dead, having been killed
| during the operation. 1t was similar
to ordinary frogs, except that exam
nation showed that it never had the
use of its eyes.
Blazier is now on the road to recov-
cry and is the center of attraction for
all that neighborhood. He now re-
calls a circumstance which happened
about five years ago when his wife
was i'll. He had gone to the spring to
fetch her a drink, and while there took
one himself. When he returned to the
house he complained of having swal-
lowed something of foreign nature,
although he did not know what it was.
He is convinced that at that time
he swallowed a tadpole, which in the
course of nature became a frog, un-
dergoing the different changes within
| his stomach

TO serve wntermelon.

Some hostesses are serving water
melon this season in fanciful designs.
The melons have been on ice for sew
eral days, and are cut lengthwise in
deep scallops or points, so that each
section for a person looks ike a small
canoe. When the two halves have
been deeply notched and placed side
by side on large hand-painted plat
ter, with crushed ice filing the center,
the melons have the appearance of
huge flowers. Some young hosts are
making a speciality Ito Please their
wives) of ingeniously cutting the
watermelons to represent the petals
of orchids and various flowers. The
hostess has in that event had her table
decorations of orchids or the blooms
decided upon. Some persons make a
good-sized incision in a large water
melon and pour therein bottle of
champagne. After the melon has been
again on the ice for three hours the
champagne is drained off and the favor
of the melon is delicious.-Cincinnati

DIsBANDING A GREAT ARMY.
Retirement of United States Troops
That Served in the Philippine
Islands.

An important event in the history of
the United States was the sailing from
Manila of the transport fitzpatrick
with the 33 officers and the lob men
of the Firty-third regiment, United
States volunteer infantry, in time to
enable the war department to carry
out the provisions Of the law which
called for the mastering out of all vol
unteer troops by June so, 1901. This
was the last regiment to be disband-
ed, saws the Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
By act of March 9, 1899, the army was
reorga nized on the basis of $1,000 en-
listed men and $4,000 volunteers, vol
unteer service being for term of two
years and four months, or until July
/, 1901. There was no trouble in get
ting enough men. The en,istments
showed what has been elaine q, by our
sanest patriots, that when the nation
needs help it can obtain al. it wants
for the asking. The American sol
der is the best treated. the best paid,
the best fed of any fighters the world
has ever known. The consequence is
higher standard of intelligence, con-
duet and efficiency than in any other
army. Whatever may be the fears of
other peoples the United States is able
to take care of itself, for it has been
calculated by political economists that
If necessity should arise this country
could arm. equip and keep in the
field 100000 soldiers.
The volunteer force of $4,000, which
is now no more, was nearly 10000
larger than the whole American army
before the outbreak of the war with
