The smallest engine in the world
was made by boy when he was 16
years old. It could easily be carried
and with room to spare, in an ordi.
nary vest pocket, and it weighs less
than half an ounce. Yet, notwith-
standing its microscopic dimensions,
# is perfect machine, and when the
few drops of water its tiny silver boil
er will hold are converted into steam
the engine will run at the rate of
5000 revolutions per minute.

There is no doubt that the destruc.
ton of birds in France has produced
disastrous effects upon agriculture,
horticulture and the grape industry.
In the department of Herault alone,
1T has been calculated, the destruction
of birds accustomed to feed upon in
sects costs loss of more than 2,0OO,-
600 gallons of wine every year. Some
birds consume about 600 insects each
daily, and a single insect-eating spe-
cies, NJ. Levat estimates, may be the
means of saving 1890 grains Of wheat
and 1.150 grapes per day.

VISITS ASSASSIN.


Auburn, n. Z, Oct. 2s.-Czolgoszs
brother. Valdez, and : brother-in-law
arrived Ct the prison gate Saturday
morning. The former was admitted,
but the warden was not satisfied as to
the latters identity and he was not
allowed to enter. It 10 believed that
the visit has something to do with
the claiming of the. remains of the
assassin after his electrocution.
Cleveland, o., Oct. 2s.-Although
the brother and brother-in-law of
Leon Czolgosz, the murderer Of Pres
ident McKinley, have been at Auburn,
N. Y, about a day, nothing has been
heard from them by the assassin's IA
ther, and he does not yet know
whether he will see his doomed son
alive again or not.
Paul Czolgosz, the father, did not
want to make. the journey to the
place Of execution unless he was sure
that he would be able to see his son
before the execution. He has from
the first been DESTROYS of bringing the
body of the assassin to Cleveland for
burial, and Valdez Czolgosz and
Thomas Bandowski went east to ar
range for that.
Sit was learned that when Valdez
Czolgosz and Bandowski went to Au-
burn they would telegraph the
father whether they were able to see
the assassin, and if SO whether the
latter wanted to see his father again.
Up to noon Saturday Paul Czolgosz,
the father of the assassin, had received
no word from his son. The father is
willing to have the body brought to
Cleveland for burial, but the matter
lies with Valdez, and until word is
received from him the father is at q
loss as to statement for publication.
The elder Czolgosz said that he ex-
pected letter from Valdez Satur-
day, but the mail facilities will not
permit the delivery Of letter from Au-
burn earlier than Sunday morning, if
not Monday morning.
Regarding the place of interment of
the body of the assassin, it can be stat
ed on authority thatif he dies repent
ant and reconciled to the church his
body will be given what is known as
Christian burial, that is, burial in con-
secrated ground, but further than this
no religious services will be accorded
him, and no public church service can
be held over his body. His is what is
known as an extraordinary" case and
the bishop Of the diocese has jurisdic-
ton over it.
When Czolgosz's brother left the
prison Saturday afternoon he stated
that no decision had been made as to
the disposition of the assassin's body
after execution. He said, however,
that itwould not be taken to Cleveland.

New York, Oct. 2s.-The Port OF

The latest advices received at Port
of Spain .indicate that the revolution in
Colombia has sustained severe check.
Gen. Antonio Rosas, who led the in.
surgents in an attack upon the gov
eminent forces near the Ecuadorian
frontier, has been defeated. The num-
Der of casualties has not been ascer-

Rosas was killed.
According to an official bulletin in

Arostegui and Salazar, who were
taken prisoners by the Venezuelan
revolutionists, have escaped. This
bulletin also announces that Gen. Rivas
and his revolutionary force has been
defeated and their ammunition cap
tured.
Senior Ezquiel Rojas, who was min

ist party, who are in temporary exile
here.
Government Holds Suspicious Cargo.
San Francisco, Oct. 2s.-Suspicious
circumstances surrounding big ship
ment of arms and ammunition on the
Gillian steamer Lea, now lying in
port, has led to action by the United
States officials to prevent any posi-
bility of the warlike goods reaching
the hands of Central American in
surgents. The cases contain 4,500
Remington rifles and bayonets and
100000 ball cartridges. The bills of
lading show that the guns and am
munition came to this city from El
Paso where they are supposed to have
been reshipped from some point in
Mexico.
The ships manifest stated that the
munitions of war, were for the gov
eminent of Salvador and that they
are to be landed at Acajuitila. The
consul general Of Salvador here dis
claims knowledge of the shipment,
though Schwartz Bros, the ostensi-
BILE shippers, claim to be acting for
Bloom Bros, of New York, who are
agents for the government of Saliva
dor. The steamer will be held pend

Criticize Governments Conduct.
London, Oct. 2S.-There is no end
of criticism current regarding the
governments conduct of the war in
South. Africa, but it emanates chiefly
from those whom Mr.. Chamberlain in
his speech Friday night characterized
as his candid friends
The outcry does not appear to
strengthen in the slightest the
chances of the liberal party.
r. C. Lehman, who has just re-
signed the editorship Of the Daily
News, in an article in this weeks
Speaker admits that he sees no hope
for liberalism until it has acquired
and put forward a strong, definite
policy in regard to South Africa. To
do this, he confesses, would mean the
loss to the party of some of its most
prominent supporters, but he main-
tains that even this is better than
the present impotency.
A Sign Of Discontent.
One of the striking signs Of dis.
content within the circles traditional
ly governmental is found in the fact
that Cambridge union has passed Q
resolution to the effect that the gov
eminent alone is responsible for the
prolongation of the war. This aris-
tocratic debating society is composed
mainly Of those who are related or
acquainted with the ruling class and
who have hitherto always warmly
supported the governments South
African policy. A reversal of feeling
in such great university as Cam
bridge means, perhaps, more than
any demonstrations or political
meetings.
Rumor of Cabinet Change.
Rumors were rife regarding cabinet
changes during the early part of the
week. 1t was persistently said that
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chancel-
lor of the exchequer, whose rela-
tions with Mr.. Chamberlain have
never been cordial, was determined to
step out and Mr.. Hanbury, the presi-
dent of the board of agriculture, it
was said, was to succeed him. In.
quiries, however, point to the fact
that Sir Michael will remain in Office,
though not very willingly, and that
no serious cabinet shake-up is likely
to occur in the near future.
