Animal Resistance to Cold.

1t is saying too much to use the word
"AnimaP' without restriction in this
connection. We must limit ourselves
to those Of low organism. It is certain
that fishes and insects, especially CO.
leoptera, or beetles, may be quite fro
zen, remain in the ice for a long time
and yet come out of the trial as good
as new. All that is necessary is to take
q little precaution as to the manner of
their thawing out.
A naturalist announced that he froze
four beetles of the ssrt known as dy-
tiscidae, a water beetle, in shallow ba-
sin. They were very thoroughly fro
zen, and when after eight full days the
experimenter decided to liberate them
from their icy case, which had begun
to thaw, one wing and two legs imper-
fectly thawed broke the glass. On the
ninth day the ice had entirely disap.
peared, and the prisoners. foated inert
on the water. But after ten hours life
began to show itself in them, which
proved that it had been but suspended.
The beetles moved their legs and an
tenna, and on the next day they swan
about as usual and did honor to the re-
past offered them.

CHILD OF THE ARMY, 81
A Story Of Beck and Evarts.
THE END.

Senator Evarts once unwittingly
gave deep offense to bluff Senator
Beck. He was discussing the latter
bill forbidding members Of congress ia
practice before the supreme court, and
having occasion to refer to lawyers
whose practice was limited to special.
ties and who never had occasion to ap.
pear before the highest judicial tribu'
nal in the land, he called them "unilat
eraI" lawyers. .. ~
The professional dignity of Senator
Beck was wounded. He had been fair.
ly successful at the bar in Kentucky
but he had early laid aside the law fo1
politics, and there were even some OF
his colleagues who did not know he
was lawyer. Daniel O'Connell's war
of epithets with the fisherwoman in
which he finally triumphed by calling
her a ''contumelious parallelopipedon'
was nothing to the Scotch epithets
which Senator Beck began hurting al
Senator Evarts. He finally satisfied
his wounded amour propre by assuring
the senate that a unilateral lawyer in
Kentucky was more respected than a
quadrilateral pettifogger in New York.
Senator Evarts had not been in the
senate long enough then to understand
Senator Beck's peculiarities, but he
finally succeeded in pacifying the
sturdy Kentuckian, and their relations
became quite kindly.

The Partition OF Africa.

The London Times announces that
under the two agreements concluded
by Lord Salisbury with the French
government in 1898 and 1899, the more
recent agreement with Germany and
an agreement, yet unpublished, be-
tween France and Spain the partition
of the dark continent is now complete,
nothing remaining but boundary de-
limitation.
Any statement of ownership, prctec-
totate or sphere of influence in Africa
must be more or less approximate, but
The Times presents figures which it
believes to be nearly corr< l. The total
area Of Africa in round numbers is H.
100000 square miles. In the appropri-
alton Of territory France leads. having
3,804,974 square miles. Great Britain
comes second, with 2,713,91O, and Ger
many third, with 933,3SO, which is do
ing well, since it was late in joining in
the scramble. The remainder of the
territory is divided as follows: Italy,
1sS, 800 square miles; Portugal, 79O,124;
Spain, $3.50; Turkey, 39S,9OO; Egypt,
100000, while the separate states, Alb
yssinia, Morocco, Liberia and Konge
Free State, represent the remaining
1,491 900.
France leads in the race as far as su-
perfcial area is concerned, the Sahara
region swelling it's total, but if Egypt
and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan were
absolutely English Great Britain would
closely crowd France in area. So far
as political and trade influence is con-
cerned, Great Britain will lead all the
nations, assuming that she becomes
master Of South Africa and succeeds
in adding the Transvaal and the Or
ange Free State to her possessions
Doubtless this will be the ultimate re.
suit Of the South African war, but
Great Britain is paying a tremendous
and we'll nigh ruinous price for these
acquisitions. Will they be worth ia
the empire all they are costing in treas.
ure and blood? ss-.

IGFWl| an old horse stood at pasture.
03S9J Sleeping, with the sun on his
gray silken skin and the flies driven
off with a dreamy switch of his tail
sleeping, yet not so surely but at one
voice he started and raised his head
with all the eager grace of his youth

never wearied of resting. Then his

softness and it's passion from him
alone.

GEN. MALVAR ON THE MOVE.
Believed to he Planning War i'm the
PrOYince of Bulacan.

A dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
word that Gen. Miguel Malvar. the Fill
pino leader is believed to have left the
province of Batangas, Luzon, and to be
planning operations in the province of Blu
lacan, where conscription by the revolu-
tionists has been progressing recently. The
country there is mountainous and well
adapted to guerilla warfare.
The police force at Banan, province of Ba-
tangas, has been disarmed. The chief of po-
lice and several others have been arrested
list society and using their offices to obtain
Information for the natives in arms.
Capt. Pitcher has practically stamped
out the war in the Island of Mindoro.
Maj Braganza, a Filipino officer who, ii
is declared, ordered the execution of 103
Spanish prisoners, and personally superin-
tended the carrying out of the order, has
been sentenced to be hanged.
There is intense feeling among the ma
tives in San Fernando. province of Pam
panga, over the killing of a native by
soldier. Strong patrols are out in both
San Fernando and Bacolor to prevent
hostile demonstration.
Considerable criticism develops here on
the recent condemnatory statement by
Representative Edgar Weeks of Michigan
regarding Filipino character and possbili-
ties. Members of the commission refer to
his remarks as too sweeping" and as
based upon too short an experience" The
native press unstintingly condemns the
conclusions of Mr.. Weeks as unjust and
yiciously false"
