POOR RANAVALONA.
France Gives the Captive Queen
Short Outing on Edge of Sahara.

From the New York Sun.
For some years Ranavalona, the former
Queen Of Madagascar, hes been In captivity
In the city of Algaers. The French govern
ment decided a short time ago to give her a
brief outing on the edge OF the Sahara,
where the air Is very pure and many In
yalids resort. The former queen and her
attendants therefore, were sent on the rail-
road to Biskra on the edge OF the desert IN
the south of the inhabited part OF Algeria.
Biskra is famous as a collecting point for
the great date crop OF southern Algeria.
the largest source OF dates in the world
Business, therefore, Is quite brisk at Biskra,
and It Is a lively modern town with a con-
siderable number of good buildings. includ-
ing hotels for tourists who go there for
their health, or more frequently to look
over the expanse of the sea OF sand TO the
south Of them; few Of them, very anxious
to rush into print have been known to come
home and write voluminous chapters on the
Sahara desert though adj they saw OF 1t
was the little area spread, away to the
horizon that may be viewed from the roofs
of Biskra.
4 his is an entirely new experience for the
former Queen of NADIA gascar. Her island
one of the largest In the world, is clad in
the richest verdure from the lowest valley
to the tops of the highest mountains. She
never saw anything Hike desert before
Perhaps she was glad to be In place even
Tor few days where nothing could remind
her of the island over which she was once
the absolute ruler.
Six years ago Gen Gallieni was appointed
by France governor general Of Madagascar,
which his army had conquered. He no
sooner received the appointment than he
issued proclamation warning the Hovas
AGAINST further revolt against the power
Of France, and made this allusion TO their
queen, whom he had banished from the
country:
You had a queen whose name was in
voked by the leaders Of the rebellion France
has suppressed. 1 ordered her to descend
from the throne and take the path of exile
to the end that nobody should doubt that
there is but one master In Madagascar, and
that Is France
The unhappy woman, Queen Ranavalona
III, was taken to the island of Reunion,
where France supported her and her suite
in comfort. If not In luxury. 1t was de-
cided, however. in 1889 that she was too
near her native home and that she must
be taken so far away that no danger need
be apprehended of her participating In any
schemes against the colonial government
sShez-was = therefore removed to Algeria,
where her husband. the former prime min
lister of Madagascar, had died in exile. She
il likely to spend the rest OF her life
prisoner in this land, thousands of miles
from her native home.

To Reclaim site of Fort Lee.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times
The site of old Fort Lee Of revolutionary
fame Is to be reclaimed, converted from a
mosquito swamp to properly kept reser-
walton, and marked by a monument. When
the state board of health OF New Jersey
drained off the polluted waters of Parker'e
Pond. a sluggish pool on the Palisades,
some 2.ooO feet back from the cliffs. indis-
'putable evidences were found that this
breeding place for malaria and mosquitoes
had been q military post. The Daughters Of
the Revolution and members Of the Society
for the Preservation OF Scenic and Historic
Places became interested. and research dis
closed the fact that the neglected spot had
once been an important strategic point In

The best growth of catalpa is not

The best growth of catalpa is not obtained in pure plantations. This statement is contrary to general prac- tice and belief, for almost all catalpa plantations throughout the country are pure planted. The advantage of. 3 suitable associate tree is that by shad- ing the ground it will keep out weeds and grasses and kill off the lateral branches of the catalpa, thus giving the tree a straight, clean bole to the height of eighteen to twenty feet. The best trees for planting with catalpa in the middle west are osage orange and Rus sian mulberry.
 Growers need not hesitate to force the growth of their catalpas, as the wood is apparently just as good when grown fast as slow. The rate of growth makes no difference in the sale of the product. Only shape and size count.
 Dr yon Schrenk finds that catalpa wood, if cut from the living tree, is one of the most durable timbers known. No fungus has yet been found that will grow in the dead wood. The wood of living trees is attacked by two fungi, one causing a soft rot, the other brown rot. pr von Schrenk discusses these two diseases and recommends methods of preventing them.

 And then was seen a sight such as never before was witnessed by gods or men. Students on their way to college stopped amazed, amiable old gentlemen out for their constitutional forgot their amia bility, and swore horribly as they were rudely hustled and pushed aside, elderly females screamed "Hi, stop thief" butchers boys whistled and cackled, servant girls craned' their heads out of win- dows, little dogs parked and yelped for pure delight, and all the universe stood still. as Prof. McVint, gathering up the skirts of his ample gown, flew down the length of the esplanade in pursuit of the unsuspecting smithers.

Of course, said brother. though he is really only her stepbrother. Pen- nington's father died soon after he was born, and his mother subsequent ly married Miller. I thought every one knew that. But what difference does it make" & Ea
 That was question the professor declined to answer. What difference? Why, this difference--that before ten o'clock that evening the professor had told Miss Miller of the episode of the stile (among other things). and she had laughingly said: "You poor dear, and so you really thought Guy and I were lovers.

Houses Made of seaweed.

Cookstown is a seaweed settlement In Alaska. It was originally built of clay bricks, but the action of the sea salt, with which the air is heavy. caused the bricks to crumble away and in their place were substituted slabs of seaweed mixed with salt, com pressed and baked. The result was a town which can we'll withstand the vagariesSof climate and houses which are far warmer than those of brick. Chicago Inter Ocean.

All important part of the craft of diamond-cutting is now done almost exclusively by women. The first proc ess of diamond splitting that is, sep arating a large stone full of flaws into
 several fiawless stones, is done by men. Women then handle the diamonds, which they round with little pearl shaped tools tipped with diamonds, re moving all angles. As some of the dia- monds are so small that several hun dred of them weigh less than a carat, the work is very hard on the eyes. The

What Sen Level Represents.

Sea-level does not, as is generally supposed, represent the mean figure of the earth. The attraction of mountains and continents and varia- tions of density cause the water to be heaped up in places, and Col. Clarke has calculated that the diam eter of. the equator ending in Singa- pore and Peru is two and half miles shorter. than the diameter end ing in Rhodesia and the Pacific. Mai. s. G.. Burrard estimates that in the region of the. Himalayas actual sea- level is about 5000 feet higher than 1t would be if the shape were not de- formed. Another source ofa error in surveys is the Reflection of the plumb line, and this cause makes the posi- tion of India on the globe uncertain to some seven seconds.

When tenders for supplies for
any department or bureau OF the
government are called for, the tend
ers should be as much open to the
bidders as the call was Unless such
a course is followed suspicion is
sure to be aroused, and as result
the public service twill be the suf-
ferer. In the case of the tenders
called for by the Board OF Health
for supplying drugs the secretary OF
the Board, not being member Of
the Board, was in the line OF duty
in declining to make public the
tenders without instructions SO to
do by his employer; but for the
President OF the Board to decline
to show the successful tender,to a
competitor is a mistake, as it,. only
tends to strengthen the suspicion
that favoritism has been shown the

was informed that L. A. Thurston
had been in conference with the
officials Of the labor Unions of this
city for the purpose OF securing the
votes of the union men for the Re-
publican party in November next.
The story goes that Mr.. Thurston
in return for the votes promised
any legislation that the unions
might desire and prepare bills for
the legislature to act upon. While
we believe that Mr.. Thurston is
capable OF proposing such bargain
we do not like to believe that the
leaders of the Republican party
have authorized him to act for that
party in such bargain and sale.
