Not long afterwards in prosperous
country town a poor white girl of fiji

shame kept the girl silent. 1t hap

Increase of Postage Stamps.
From Ieslie's Weekly

A statement going to show the marvel
by the American people is that of the di-
rector of the bureau of engraving and
printing at Washington, just issued, in
which it appears that the number Of post
age stamps sent out for use during the
current fiscal year includes 1900, 900 600
1-cent stamps. $500. 100000 2-cent stamps
and 3O9, 1885, 900 of higher denominations
The total, Including special delivery To-
cent stamps, is 5.116. .236. 900. against 4.377,-
727 900 for the previous fiscal year. an in
crease OF over 1.500, 900, 600 stamps. It is
not easy to grasp the full significance of
these stupendous totals. A few calculations
may help. According to these figures sufii-
cient stamps will be issued this year to
supply every man, woman and child in the
United States with at least sixty stamps
each. Distributed among the population
of the entire globe they would supply each
person with postage for not less than three
letters. Placed side by side in a continu-
Gus line the total Issue would girdle the
entire earth three times, forming a varie-
gated ribbon around it nearly three inches
in width. II spread out In the same man
would form a paper sidewalk from New
York to San Francisco over three feet
wide. Pasted into a stamp collectors book
Of the conventional size the issue for the
year would fill 10000 volumes, which
placed one upon another would form a
solid column over twenty-five miles hign.

the greatest OF popular educators, these
figures will serve to show the extent OF

Balance Of Power I'm Nature.

From the LONDON Cnronlcle
It is curious to observe how frequently
the progress of an animal or plant race,
otherwise triumphant, is liable to be check
ed by the attack of some enemy that ap-
pears suddenly. or. at least, often unex-
p. ctedly, on the scene. Especially is this
event witnessed in the history of the insect
world; and but for the operation OF some
such principle in nature we should be in
danger Of being overwhelmed by certain
species. to the exclusion Of many other
forms There is no doubt that the insect
tribes inflict much damage on crops and
forts and works Of the farmer and garden
er null and void. But, on the whole. the
balance OF power In nature Is very fairly
sustained. There ts scarcely species OF
animal1 which does not include In its his
tory list OF particular foes. and the In
crease Of the one race implies the undesira-
bic attentions OF the other. This warfare
among insects especially, and between in
sects and birds. and even between insect
species and lower plant foes, can be Nlus-
trated by numerous examples drawn from

caterpillars known as the "army worms"

Pavements of Crystal.

You would scarcely expect to read of
streets paved with crystal In any other

great strength and durability, has been In

Criticism Of Discrimination Practiced
I'm Modern Architecture.
From the Engineering Record.
The present architectural design Of build
ings in which an iron frame Is used for
supporting the masonry is the cheapest
form of dissimulation, and we can imagine
the disgust with which our successors in
years to come will regard the work OF the
present generation. The cause OF this
trouble lies In the attempt to apply the
same architectural details to skeleton
building that are usually applied to ma
sonry building. or. In other words. to apply
the architecture Of stone to a structure Of
iron. The fundamental basis Of the present
architectural forms has the merit OF once
having stood TOR something Of utility. The
console, the dentil lue pediment, the coll
urnn, all once had utilitarian offlce, and
to them ornament has been applied until
they have assumed graceful form and
have become the words OF the architectural
language In stonework But they had the
truth for their prototypes and they have
consequently developed nationally. The
architecture Of the iron building OF today
Is indefensible because It II. first OF all,

The ArmOred Train I'm War.

A special correspondent at Pretoria gives
an interesting account of an expedition on
an armored train in the Transvaai and
thus describes its composition: 1t is COM
posed of a locomotive. with all It's most
vulnerable parts protected, and seven
trucks and coaches. The motive power,
naturally, Is placed In the center Of the
train. the "hghting' portions, for reasons
that are obvious, being at both ends. The
train consists of two protected bogies
equipped with Maxims or 'tpompoms" and
loopholed for infantry. Then next to one
of these trucks is attached bogie upon
which two tweive-pounder quick-firfng guns
are mounted which allows of a traversing
fire of about 135 degrees on either side Of
the train-that is, approximately go degrees
out Of the possible circle This is to be i'm
proved upon. but 1t entails specially con-
structed trucks. The rest Of the train II
made up with the officers coach and trucks
containing the electric and telegraph ap-
paratus, dynamo and construction material.
In addition to the actual armored train q
number of protected and loopholed trucks

try, can be taken out by the armored train
and dropped at convenient spots along the

quented communications. Thus 1t Is possi-
bic to SOW length OF line with stationary
forts which form points for the armored
trains to patrol between. But possibly the
most important factor of armored train pa
trolIlng Is the Iaclllty OF 1ntercOmmunica-
ton between the trains and the various
headquarters Of intelligence. The train has
but to halt and, If the telegraph wires are
intact, 1t Is In communication at once villa
every station down the line. It takes just
thirty seconds to tap the wires and get the
"buzzer" working. Then by means of tho
phonophone each train on the beat is in
communication as soon as 1t halts with
other stationary trains. The value of this
can be appreciated. When a section OF tho
line Is under observation the trains. for
economic reasons. are not patrelling all

evidence of the bones Of the structure and

The galvanized iron cornice and similar
shams are surely no worse.
The solution of any problem Is arrived
at by series of compromises, and any one
charged with responsibility should fully un-

View; for the best results cannot follow

CRETANs WOULD BE CREEKS.

Islanders Ask Protectorate for Di-

From the Literary Digest.
The agitation in Crete for the annexa-
ton of that island to Greece appears to
have reached acute stage. The resolu-
tion unanimously adopted by the Greek
members of the Cretan chamber (who are
in large majority affirming the neces-
sity for such union has excited considerable
enthusiasm in Athens and Prince George.

ment unless the four powers england,
France, Russia and Italy) which protect
Crete. under the nominal suzerainty of the
sultan, agree to the union. The powers,
however, have rejected the Cretan petition
in the same general terms used when they
rejected similar request made in February
last Any infringement of the rights Of the
sultan, says the joint note delivered to
Prince George by the consuls of the four
powers might seriously endanger the peace
of the east by subjecting Greece once more
to the hostility of Turkey. The powers
are also of opinion that the present ar
rangement will tend to the material and
moral progress of Crete owing to the ex-
emption of the island from heavy taxation
and the simplicity and justice of it's ad-
mnistration. Amy alteration introduced so
soon might prove injurious to public tran
guilty by awakening the slumbering fears
of the Moslem population. We are so

gladly forget the entire propaganda for the

opposed to annexation. says this journal.
because it would reopen this Balkan ques
ton, which every European cabinet, includ-
ing that of Greece, is anxious to keep dor
mant, and because. il the union ever should
be realized, 1t would bring no benefit to

tation Is part Of the great scheme for the
union of the Hellenic race.
The Independence Beige holds that the
powers have acted most wisely In rejecting
the Cretan petition To have granted IT..

armed conflict, the results of which can
not be estimated. The friends of the Gre

wise them to be patient. The Speaker, the
Spectator and the London Times and the

Consumptive Immigrants.
From American Medicine.

Nothing short Of a tuberculin test would
absolutely exclude all cases. and we doubt
whether the government will adopt that
precaution. II it did, it is. we believe,
safe to say, It would be the most efficient
check on immigration possible, and we
might perchance find only the minority
passing it successfully. The exclusion of
consumptives is excusable on the ground
that 1t is not the policy Of this country to
accept immigrants who. being hopeiessly
diseased. are practically incapable Of be-
coming useful members Of society and liz
BILE therefore to be burden to those
among whom they come This reason
therefore applies to advanced and pro-
sumably incurable cases. 1t will undoubt-
edly work hardship In individual instances,
and there should be some discretion al
lowed. Even hopeless consumptives may
sometimes bring some good; a rule that
would have sent Robert Louis Stevenson
back to Scotland Is scarcely to be followed
without exceptions. It would be well IL we
could apply still more rigid test to ex-
cIude the syphiiitic. the epileptic, the In
sane and the criminal immigrant. In fact,
