GEYSERS PETERING OUT.
tinction of Yellowstone Park
Attractions.

According to some of the members
Of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, the geysers
of Yellowstone park will some day
disappear. Some of tho scientists in
sist that the decline of the geyser
is so rapid that the present gener-
alton will see the last of them, says
the Denver Republican.
Edwin Hinckley Barbour, of Lin
coin, Neb., professor of geology of
the University of Nebraska and act
ing state geologist since 1891, has
some radical views on the subject.
Mr.. Barbour is an author and is in
charge annually of the Worrill geo.
logical and photographic surveys. In
a letter he says:
"The rapid decline of the geyser
phenomena in the Yellowstone ma
tional park seems to be but little un-
derstood, but to those who will visit
the spot frequently the changes seem
startling, and to the geologist alarm
ingly rapid. If one may judge from
impressions, IL seems safe to assume
that if the decline in geyser activity
noted during the past four years
should continue for the coming eight
or ten years, the features which most
impress the geologist will have disap-
peared. AS warning, every geol-
ogist who intends visiting the park
should not postpone the trip year,
but should visit it at once.
at may be stated generally that this
decline of activity is manifest in the
geysers, the mud geysers and paint
pots, pools and steam vents, many of
which have become wholly or partly
extinct in the last four years.
"As specific cases it may be stated
that at the mammoth hot Springs the
activity seems not one-tenth that of
former times, Minerva terrace having
become extinct (since 1s95), the dis
charge from Pulpit and Jupiter ter
races have greatly declined during
the same time. and Narrow Gauge
fissure vent--and other attractions
becoming all but extinct. Roaring
mountain is now silent, though steam.
ing. In the Norris geyser basin the
Black Growler is less active. In the
Lamer basin the splendid Fountain
geyser is extinct, with feeble SUBJ
stitute near by named the Dewey
The Giant Paint Pots are greatly con-
tracted in size, the pink half being
extinct in the upper basin. Some OF
the better known, as well as many OF
the lesser geysers, are extinct, or
supposed to be. Among these are the
Splendid geyser and the Bee Hive
The Grand geyser, which used to play
daily, now erupts irregularly about
three times q season. The Cascade
which erupted about every quarter OF
an hour in 1895, now plays once a
day. The unmistakable impression OF
frequenters of the park is that the
changes are serious and much more
rapid than is generally believed"

HOW TO MAKE THE SHELLS.

the opening in the glass and mold the
she'll over the top. This is very easily
done by having a round piece of thick
cardboard the size of the opening, put
ting the palm of the hand over the
glass AMI pressing the cardboard down
while you mold the edges of the paper
with your thumb and fingers. By turn
ing the glass with your other hand
backward and forward you can very
easily press the paper into the re-
quired shape.
Let the glass set on its bottom with
the paper shell covering 1t, cut guam
tity Of rose leaves out of crepe or plain
tissue paper of the desired color, and
with little flour paste and small
brush touch the lower edges of the
rose petals and stick them on the pa
per shell, putting the first row around
the edges and the second around the
bottom of the shell.
1t is good plan to have several
drinking glasses, and when the paper
shell is drying on one to mold new
one on another glass. By doing this
the shells retain their shape better
and you can progress more rapidly
with the work.
When the petals have dried suffi.
ciently to hold tight to the paper she'll
they can be slightly curled by rum
ming them between knife blade and
your thumb until they take on quite
natural appearance Gig. D.
To further carry out the pretty con.
ceit that one is eating cream from the
heart of rose, spray OF natural rose
leaves may be laid on the plate and
the rose set amidst the leaves, or il
these are not obtainable artificial
leaves of green crepe paper may be
used with artistic effect. If the cream
be delicately favored with rose the
conceit is all the more realistic.
Either white or pink cream is pretty
for white or pink roses, while lemon
cream or lemon and orange sherbet
may be used with good effect in yellow
roses.
These shells should be lined with
confectioner's oiled paper. Cut out a
circular piece little larger than that
used for the shell, mold it also over the
drinking glass, and it will fit very neat
ly within it.
These Innings can be easily lifted out
Of the shells after the cream has been
served in them and fresh Innings put
in, so that the roses can be used for
several occasions.
When cream Is to be served in these
shells it should be made quite hard and
taken out in little pyramids, by using
molds, such as are kept by confection-
ers. If these cannot be had, two large
spoonfuls of cream pressed together
will make very nice-looking pyramid.
Ices thus served become pleasure
to the eye as well as to the palate

CHURCH. servlcc in rokIo.

Women and children are seen in
great numbers in the crowd of pill
grims that surround the Greek church
in Toxic, Japan, many of the women
being of advanced age and coming
from great distances. This church is
supported by strong and wealthy
society, for 10000 members are found
in Toxic alone. The services are oc-
casions of great splendor. The wor-
Slippers remain standing throughout
the service, one feature Of which is
long march through the center of
the church and outside entirely
around the building, the members of
the procession chanting as they go.
At the head walks the bishop in
robes adorned with costly jewels, and
hundreds of children, from tiny BOYS
and girls from the schools follow in
the train. The pilgrims watch the
procession reverently, each holding a
small wax taper in his hand.-Cincin.

"Never follow woman bettor un.

HOW COLD is ICE.
Nevey Can He Warmed Above 81 De-
grecs, Yet Goes as Much below
ms the Weather Does.

Is ice any colder in winter than In
summer? Most people suppose not.
They understand that ice is ice and
cannot be any colder or warmer, says
scientific paper.
If thermometer is buried in ice In
summer it will indicate 80 degrees. II
you throw piece of ice into boiling
water and leave it there till is almost
gone what Is left will still be at 80 de-
grees. Ice can never be gotten above
that temperature.
But while ice can never be warmed
above 80 degrees, it will go asmuch be-
low that as the weather does. An ice
man delivering ice one zero day in jan
uary was asked whether his ice was
any colder than in July. He thought
not. But as matter Of fact piece
of summer ice, if he had had it, would
have been something of foot warmer
for him, as it would have been 80 de-
grees warmer than the air of the bot
tom OF his wagon.
Mixing salt with ice makes it much
cooler. The ice in an ice cream freezer
goes down to about zero. This is why
the point zero on our common ther-
mometers was fixed where it is. II Is
supposed to be the lowest point which
could be reached by artificial means.
Since then we have reached about 3S3
degrees below zero by chemical proc
esses.
Ice will cool down with everything
else on cold night to zero or below.
What should prevent it? On day
when it is just freezing block of iron
and block of ice outdoors will stand
at 32 degrees. II the weather grows
warmer the iron will warm up with
the weather, but the ice will stay at 80
degrees and melt away. But il the
weather grows colder the iron and the
ice will cool off, too, and one just as
much as the other.
As ice grows colder It gets harder
and more brittle. There can be nc
hickory bend" on the skating pond
on zero day, for the ice is then toe
brittle. Slivers of ice dipped in liquid
air become so hard that they will cut
glass. Water thrown on ice in the
arctic regions will shiver 1t like pour
ing boiling water upon cold glass. This
is because the ice is so much colder
than the water.

BROCHURE ON
RUSSIAN SUGAR
NJ. Blanc Gives Cars Side oil
the Existing Contro-
versy.
Correspondence of the Associated

Correspondence of the Associated
Press)
ST. PETERSBURG. Thursday, Aug.
/ IA brochure signed by NJ. Blanc, en-
titled, Russian Sugar Regulations and
Export Premium" has just appeared
here in Russian and English. 1t is
said to be inspired NJ. Blanc attempts
to give Russia's side of the contro-
versy. 1t ends with a recommendation
to arbitrate the outstanding difficult
ties
OF principal interest in this brochure
is the sketch OF the history of the sugar
industry before the law of November
20. 1895, was promulgated.
"Overproduction in the SOS and the
early eos had brought on IA crisis" it
is said, land a number of mills, both
large and small, were compelled to
close. The producers entered into an
agreement to export "A certain proper
ton of their several outputs, but 1t
was disregarded, as such agreements
often are when there is no legal com
pulsion. The mill owners therefore
appealed to the government to compel
sugar expectation. The minister OF
finances. being interested especially In
the sugar excise tax, ii Is stated pro-
cured the emperors sanction for n
conference to which were invited lead
ihS staitshi'hs II that iht
meeting advised against an export pre-
MUM, as beneficial to the foreign con-
sumption alone. and also refused to
compel the expectation of a certain
quantity of sugar by each mill owner"
The brochure adds: And, as we shall
, read below. the export of sugar from
Russia is not at all one of the mea-
sures for the regulation of the sugar
industry (probably meaning one of the
,hjaptS tn ha attained nv in hiit
simply mentioned in the law OF No
yember 20, 1895. as a possibility which
must be foreseen."
The two principal aims of the regu-
lations are said to have been diminu-
ton of output without duly increasing
prices on the domestic market.
The law is summarized without men
ton being made of the fact that the
shares of factories in the home market.
above "a guaranteed minimum of 5000
pounds annually, is calculated on the
basis of the total production of the
previous year, and great stress is laid
on the following clause:
In case of such an increase Of prices
for sugar on foreign markets, which
may be an inducement to "a considera-
BILE surplus output by Russian mills,
the minister of finances may petition
the committee of ministers 10 reduce
or repeal for "a certain time the privi-
leges of repayment of supplementary
tax on exported sugar
This clause might, however, be con-
strued in quite a different sense. 1t
might be taken to mean that. In case
the Russian sugar producers should
be able to meet the competition of the
world without the refundment OF the
tax, the government would be author
lied to withdraw this favor. It's inten-
ton was to prevent the possible expor-
tation of such quantities of sugar that
the government would be powerless to
control prices at home.

FRAUDS IN new
YORK CUSTOMS
Chicago Importers Throw Light
on Crooked Invoices
From Japan.

CHICAGO, August 16.-As a result of
the recent exposure of alleged frauds in
the New York customs service several
of the big wholesale dry goods firms of
Chicago have filed claims with the
Board of Appraisers asking for sums
aggregating hundreds of thousands of
dollars as rebates.
1t was through the watchfulness of
Chicago importers that the Government
discovered conspiracy in the New
York customs house, says the Chron-
icle. Last May, buyers for Chicago i'm
porters found that goods bought in To-
kio and shipped to the United States
cost more than the same articles could
be bought for from certain firms in
New York.
So the Chicago men got together and
instituted a quiet investigation. They
collected their evidence and filed pro-
tests with the Treasury Department at
Washington.
The protests contained disclosures
that call for immediate action and Gov
eminent detectivesTwere set at work at
once. The claims the Chicago mer-
chants have filed with the Board of APP
praisers are being considered now, but
official action probably will not be
taken until the investigation has been
finished.
