 LA GUAYRA, Venezuela, Dec. 12.-- General Ferrer, the minister of war, has arrived here with 2,000 troops. Eight hundred men under President Castro's brother are expected here at once. -%~ ..
 The government has sent 2000 men and eighteen guns from Caracas to re- enforce the garrison at La Guayra. These troops are camping at Cuaracuti, distant one hour from La Guayra. All day and all night ammunition has been carried to Fort. Lavigia, which crowns the harbor, and preparations are being made to resist the foreign forces. Vol unteers to the nunlbdr of 926 men, all from La Guayra, have been armed, and more are requesting arms.
 It is asserted here that the govern naent can find sufficient men to resist the foreign forces, as the movement is popular. Everywhere one meets men of all classes and conditions carrying .R{auser rifles.

Aerial Lnlldnn.

Rev. John M. Bacon, who for several years, with the aid Of balloon, has in- dustriously explored the atmosphere over London, gives a strange picture of the skyward extension of the worlds greatest city. Somewhat fan cifully, and yet with certain degree Of truth, London might De said to be 6,ooO feet high, or deep, for up to about that level the air oyer the vast town is unmistakably London air. Be- tween 5000 and 5000 feet above the housetops is region where dust re sembling cha1f,. filaments and woolen fiber, such as would arise from thor oughfares and from the sweeping of houses, seems especially to accumu- late. At least there is more there than nearer the ground In calm weather aerial London becomes to a certain extent stratifed. From above 6,O00 feet one can often look down upon the surface of the haze, as if it had definite limit Youths Com panion.

SURPRISE AT WASHINGTON.

Such Extreme Measures by the Pow
 CTS Not Expected. |+
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-War-not merely technical, figurative war, but an actual state of hostilities-prevails between England and Germany on the one hand and Venezuela on the other. The two European nations apparently committed the first act of aggression ill the seizure of Venezuelan warships in the harbor of La Guayra. This in it. self was sufficient cause for war, but a greater affront to Venezuela was giy en in the subsequent action of the Brit ish and Germans in sinking these ves- sels.
 While the state department has no official confirmation of the report that the Venezuelan ships were sunk, it does not doubt that such a course was pursued. This incident has caused surprise in administration circles and has created a somewhat painful i'm pression.
 It has been the understanding here that while Germany and England would adopt stringent measures to compel Venezuela to pay the claims of their subjects conditions of actual war, with consequent danger of blood shed and destruction Of government and private property, would be avoid ed. Apparently, however, the British and the Germans have determined s go to extremes to bring about the ad- i1StDaent of claims

Of the twenty cases submit ted to him Professor Lorenz selected four. three girls and boy. The chill dren's age range from three to nine years, and at the conclusion of the clinic Dr. Lorenz stated that, in every case the operation was successful. In whose age it was thought the opera tion would be more difficult, the bone was manipulated into it's proper place with more ease than any of the others.

ENTERTAINING MATERIALS.
The Enormous Demand Has Brought Into Requisition Many New
 Substances.

Only paper of the very best quality is now made from rags, the bulk of that employed for newspaper and book work being manufactured from wood pulp Other materials are also comingin use to meet the enormous demand for paper, and plants which were at one time. supposed to be of no economic importance are contrib uting their fiber to the manufacture, says Chambers Magazine. Among the new materials may be named bagasse, the refuse of the sugar mills, :. formerly a waste product save that it was employed for fuel. Rice straw, long only used as bedding for cattle, is also enlisted in the service of the paper maker. Spruce is the wood SOW. generally used in making paper pulp, and of this there is vast amount not yet drawn upon in the Dominion of Canada, which is only waiting for railway facilities of trans port. In the meantime protests are being raised against the quality of the paper made from these suhsti-
 tutes for rags. It answers the pur- pose of ephemeral literature; but there is good reason to believe that it rapidly deteriorates, and that books made of it will have but short life. It is somewhat hdzniliating for us to have to acknowledge that our mod ern documents cannot compare in permanence with those written on Egyptian papyrus before our own his torieal period comm enced.

COAL STRIKE HEARING.
Independent Operator Tells of Get
 ting SEQ a Ton For Coal.

Tmdepcndent Operator Tells of Get-
 ting $2O a Ton For Coal.
 SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 12.-The rep fesentatives of the miners during the course of yesterdays proceedings be- fore the anthracite coal strike commits sion called one of the independent op- orators to the witness stand to tell the exact price he received for his coal, and the mine owner refused, giving instead, after much questioning, an average of the price he received. The operator was J. T. Crawford, president of the Peoples Coal company, which operates the Oxford colliery in Scranton. The request for him to take the stand came as a surprise. The Oxford colliery dur ing the strike managed to get enough men to operate the plant and for one month, according to Mir. Crawford, his company received $20 ton for it's coal. Objection was raised to the miners lawyers trying to get him to tell what he received from the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western company for it's product, but the examination was per mitted to proceed.
 The miners announced that they ex- pected to close their case tomorrow and thus gave notice to the other side to be ready to proceed with their testimony. In reply the companies attorneys an- nounced that they may have to ask for a short recess in order to properly pre- pare their case. Judge Gray, for the commission, in reply said he hoped there would be no interruption in the proceedings and that the companies would be able to proceed as soon as the miners have concluded their case. From the large number of witnesses yet to be called by the miners it is not likely they will finish their case on Saturday. Nearly the entire day was taken up in hearing witnesses who had some spe- cidc complaint to make, among other things the price paid per mine car and the size of the cars.

Hear with Their Legs.

One of the strangest and most un- expected uses to which one could imagine leg being put is that of an organ of hearing. Yet such seems to be one at least of the functions of the forelegs of the crickets. On the outer side of tibia small oval space may be seen, in which the strong arRature which covers the rest of the body is reduced to thin and membranous condition, making thus sort of window, or drumhead. Communicating with this, inside the leg, are the ends of nerve, and it can hardly be doubted, therefore, that the whole apparatus. constitutes an auditory organ Nature.

with lace. After leaving Cincinnati, Miss Thomas missed the corset and called upon the maid for explanation. The maid said she was sure she had packed it. Inquiry was made of the hotel people, but it had nn1 been seen. Miss Thomas always was anxious to solve the mystery of the corset's disappearance, and when her father, Gen. Samuel Thomas, went to Cincinnati year later she asked him to inquire further at the hotel about it. He did so.
 The clerk looked dazed for min ute and then burst out:
 ''Then you don't know that that corset has separated a most devoted couple and that a lawyer is now here getting evidence upon which to base a separation suit.'
 Gen. Thomas was amazed and eagerly listened to the story of the adventures of the missing treasure. When Miss Thomas left her room at the hotel her maid left the corset in the wardrobe. The next day a travelling man from Brooklyn occu-
 
 called away, and left orders with the clerk to have his trunk packed with all his possessions in the room and sent to his Brooklyn home. A DOT ter, coming across the corset, packed that, so that when the young wife Gnpacled the trunk in Brooklyn the first thing that met her eyes was the corset. Explorations didn't go'' with the wife. There was a quarrel and she went home to her mother. When Mrs. Beeknlan learned of this she wrote to the wife, telling who she was and how she had lost the corset. The wife was obdurate, and would not accept an explanation un- til Mrs. Beekman called on her a short time ago and convinced her Of her husbands innocence.
