When Lord Raglan Speaks.

The idiosyncrasies of orators pro-
vide an almost inexhaustible study,
says the London Leader. One Of the
strangest habits of a speaker is as
suredly that possessed by Lord Rag
Ian: The habit is only observable at
post-prandial functions, at which the
moment the son of the famous field
marshal rises to speak he arranges on
the. table in front Of him everything
within his reach, Just as if he. were
playing an intricate war game. A. z
Bottles Of every; size. and shape,
glasses, salt cellars, knives and forks
and even the very table decorations
themselves are pressed into the SER
vice, and by the time the noble lord
resumes his seat the disposition OF his
imaginary troops, which is. productive
Of no little amusement to those around
him, is complete. z5 &. +. u. @ III:

paign for the determination Of the
mosquito there, with a view Of test
ing DR.. Finlay's theory as to yellow
fever. Every yellow fever victim was
isolated from possible contact by
means of netting, the house thor
oughly furigated, and the insects, so
far as possible, killed off. Boys and
stagnant pools were filled up. Kero-
sene was employed extensively, where
filling was too expensive. Ponds
were stocked with surface-feeding
fish, which ate up the larvae as soon
as laid. The result is indicated above.
In another year yellow fever will
be as little known in Cuba, and, we
hope, in all the rest of the world, as
smallpox in wel1-bred places now. Con-
currently with the disappearance of
the chief scourge of the tropics will
go the second-malaria. The variety
OF mosquito which carries the one
disease does not carry the other. But
the two may breed in the same pool.
The only safe way is to kill all mos

Expected Comets of 1902.

expected comets OF l0OSs
Two periodic comets are expected IL
return during the present year. The
first was originally discovered by Te-:.
pie at Marseilles in 1869 and revolves
about the sun every five and hall
years. 1t was independently discov
cred by Swift in California in 1886
and was again found by Barnard al
the Lick Observatory in 1891. 1t was
not seen in 1886 and in 1897, nor be
tween 1859 and 1880. 1t is expetcc l
to return early in December, 1902
The second comet was discovered by
Swift in California in 1895, and its
period is about seven years. 1t is moi
improbably Identical with the comet
discovered by Messier at Marseilles i1
ITO. 1t was expected to return il
Its, but in passing close to Jupiter
it's orbit was greatly altered. It will
return toward the end of November
1902.

WILL REDUCE WAR TAXES.
Ways and Means Committee Decides
 to Frame Bill.

Washington. Jan. 29.-The Republican members of the Ways and Means Com mittee held private conference tonight and decided to frame a bill for the re- duction of war revenue taxes before pro- ceeding further wth the subject of Cuban reciprocity. Work on the war revenue reduction bill will begin tomorrow. It Is pretty well understood that the ma joritv is prepared to favor d measure ef fecting very large reduction. amounting practically to d repeal of the entire war taxes and 1ggregating about $6S, ,000, 900. The restriction of recent hearing to beer and tea led to the belief that reductions might be confined to these two articles, but the sentiment now apoears to have been favorable to a much larger reduc- ton.
 At the conference today 1t was the pre- vailing view that as Cuba had been the cause for ,incurring the war revenue taxes, the burden should be removed from this country before considering the extent of relief to be granted to Cuba.

 Captain Hobson blamed Congress for it's indifference to the needs of d larger navy. He said that $25.O0000O ought to be appropriated every year to the navy and that this year twice that sum should be given. He gave four reasons why there should be larger navy as follows:
 'First-We have gigantic interests that require a big navy.
 "Second-We have duties which we can- not escape which require a larger navy.
 ''Third-We require a greater navy be- cause we can afford it.
 Fourth-Our navy is weaker than that of other powers of the same information al importance"
