The Democratic members Of The
House committee on coinage, weights
and measures are agreed on a minority
report on the bill directing the secre-
tary OF the treasury ito exchange gold
for legal tender silver dollars, and the
report will be presented to the House,
tomorrow, by Shafroth. The report
takes the position that the passage OF
the bill is certain to produce financial
disturbances. The following general
proposition Is laid down:
Our government has never conceded
the right to the holder Of silver dollars
to demand from. the treasury gold
therefor, nor to the holder OF gold to
demand silver dollars therefor. Such
demands always have been revised at
the treasury. It il the notes and bonds
of the government that are payable in
either gold or silver at the option Of the
holder
The following resolutions why such
a measure should not be enacted are
given:
First. it will require a large increase
of the gold reserve Of the treasury as,
If the obligations upon RESERVE are in-'
creased-the reserves should pc cor

EXPLAINS PELEE'S ACTIONS.
Views of Prof. VerriIi on the Recent
ERUPTION,

Some of the phenomena attending
the destruction of ST. Pierre have
been difficult to explain, especially
the sheet of flame that seems to have
accompanied or closely followed the
violent explosion of gas.
Prof. Verrill of Yale states his view
to be that the heat is sufficient to
cause the dissertation of hydrogen
and oxygen from water coming sud-
denly into contact with the lava in the
crater, and that in the case of sea
water chloride would be dissociated
from sodium.
These gases suddenly elected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested on so great a
scale at Martinique.
The people were killed by the sud.
den explosion of vast volume of
hydrogen and oxygen; and this ac-
counts for the sudden burning of feGh
and clothes, as well as of buildings
and of vessels in the roadstead.
The chlorine combining with some
of the hydrogen would produce hydro,
chloric acid, which is poisonous and
suffocating and would quickly kill all
those moi, destroyed by the first ex,
plosion.

The famous Virginia stove also
stands upon legs, is about seven feet
high and is handsomely ornamented.
1t is three stories" high and of pyra-
midal shape, and was made in 1770 for
the house of burgesses at Williams

one Buzaglo, whose place of business
was in England, wrote of the warm
ing machine" that 'the elegance Of
Workmanship does honor to Great
Britain. 1t exceeds in grandeur any
thing ever seen of the kind and is a
masterpiece not to be equaled in all
Europe. 1t has met with general ap-
plause and could not be sufficiently
admired"

Brain and Intellect.

The exact seat in the brain of the
highest intellectual faculties has
formed a moot point IN science since
the functions of the organ of mind be-
gan to be investigated with accuracy.
The general opinion localized what We
term mind" in the pre-fontal lobes of
the brain, but by another school of
thinkers the hinder lobes have been
credited with performing our highest
cerebral duties. The balance of evil
dence is decidedly in favor of the for
mer view, and recent researches and
observations by DR.. Phelps, an Amer
lean Investigator, would appear to as
sist in strengthenin. the opinion that
the most important portion Of the brain
is its anterior region. In the course of
the Investigations in question some
295 cases of brain injury and disease
were examined. In all save two it was
noted that interference of extensive
nature with the pre-fontal region re-
suited in serious disturbance of the
mental faculties. Less severe injury
produced less marked effects. These
facts parallel the researches of other
investigators, and they are further sub
stantiated by what is observed in cases
of idiocy come cted with want of
development of the frontal lobes of the
brain.-London Chronicle.

Februarys Without Full Moon,

A correspondent corrects some er-
roneous statements about a month
with no full moon, which appeared
recently in a paragraph quoted from
a Missouri paper. "As matter of
fact" he says, "the month of Febru-
ary, 1886, had full moon, which fell
on the 18th, as reference to the al
manac for that year will show. The
month of February, 1898, however,
had no full moon, nor did that of 1866,
and this is no infrequent occurrence,
but happens every twenty or thirty
years. The month of February hav.
ing, except in leap year, only twenty
eight days, and the moons phases be-
ing separated by an average period
of twenty-nine days, it of necessity
follows that in February frequently
only three such phases occur. The
phenomena is therefore neither rare
nor of any interest, and the only won
der is who could first have started so
foolish story as that no month
without a fgil moon had occurred
since the creation of the world, nor
would recur again for two and hal!
million years. New York Tribune.

RELATIONS STILL STRAINED.
Little Incident in Church Did Net
Tend to Unite Lovers.

Growing out of misunderstanding
in figure in tho german, strained re.
lations existed between Miss Guard
and Carruthers. Next morning in
church, Carruthers was thinking over
the situation, planning some delicate
means of modifying his sweet foe.
While mentally perfecting the details
of the scheme, he felt an insect on
the back Of his neck.
Steadily the thing advanced, and he
could almost feel the touch of each
separate leg as it marched over the
sensitive skin. His first impulse was
to smash the creature then and there,
but he took momentary pleasure i'm
seeing how long he could endure the
sensation with mastery stoicism.
At last he made fierce backward
grab for the marauding bug, and
found in his hand the dainty feather,
ed hat of Miss Guard, whose pretty
head had been bent in prayer.
The strained relations still exist.

THE OLDEST STOVE
Richmond Va. Claims One Which Seemingly
Should Rank With the Best

According to a Philadelphia news
paper the oldest stove in this country
is at present on exhibition in Minneap-
oils, MINI.
From the description this old stove
is something after the fashion of the
one which we have here in our state
capitol. 1t stands upon legs or end
supports, similar to those of sewing
machine, only that they are about half
as high and of much heavier casting.
The total weight of the stove is 500
pounds. 1t is three feet long, thirty
two inches high and one foot wide,
with hearth extending in front.
There is no CRATE in the bottom, the
fire being built directly on the bottom
of the stove, the heat passing from
below the oven, back of it and over
the top of the pipe. The outside has
scrolls and designs and crowns in re-
lief, much after the fashion of the
stoves of to-day, and on both sides
cast with the metal are the words,
Hereford Furnace, Thomas Maybury,
Mfr, 1851" We are assured that the
stove is well preserved, in spite of its
age. The surface has finish which

France Increased Her Naval Force and
England Went One Better.

The British naval squadron in New
fpundland waters this year will be in
creased to five ships. A few years
ago the service was regarded by both
France and England as merely patrol
work, for which obsolete wooden
corvettes and then Slightly more mod
ern ships were detailed. After Fash
oda, the French vexation found evil
dence in sending out the powerful
armored cruiser Isly, the British re-
taliating by calling home the anti
quated frigrate Cordelia in the middle
Of the season and sending out instead
the splendid third-class battleship
Charybois, a match for the Isly in
every respect. The French the next
spring reinforced the latter with the
Fulton, a rainbow, fast-steaming gun
boat. The British equalized matters
by detailing the Pylades, a ship more
than match for her. The next step
Of the British was to add a fourth
ship, both powers having as their
third a small gunboat. The fourth
Britisher was an armed sloop, the Co.
lImbine.

GRIM OLD NEWGATE PRISON.
Scene Of Much crIme and Misery Con.
demned to Destruction.

Grim, forbidding old Newgate
prison, which in the course Of its CEN
tury and half OF existence has housed
so many men and women condemned
to destruction, has been condemned to
destruction itself so many times and
still remained undisturbed in all its
ugliness and dinginess that it would
not be surprising if any further an
nouncement of the historic prisons
impending doom we've received with
polite incredulity similar to that
which greeted the young mans cry
of "Wolf!"
However, such an announcement
must be made, for it has now been
decided definitely that the long-de-
ferred destruction and rebuilding Of
the famous Jail shall begin May "a. AL
ready the wardens are beginning to
move. Temporary cells are being built
in the "Old Bailey"-the scarcely less
famous court house which adjoins
Newgate-where the prisoners now
awaiting trial can be kept, and on the

Sheppard, Mrs. Brownrigg and many
other criminals almost as famous
were confined and executed will be at.

When Lord Raleigh announced that
the air contained other gases besides
those which had for long been known
to enter into its composition there was
for the moment a gasp of almost in
credulous surprise. If anything We're
well known by chemists. surely it was
the composition of the air One new
constituent suggested, however, the
gas argon, was proved by many OBJ
servations to have real existence. A
little later other elements, some of
them hitherto unknown, We're found to
exist in appreciable quantities in the
atmosphere. Among them was the gas
of metal helum, whose presence had
been originally detected in the suns at
mosphere by means of the spectro-
scope. This metal received its name
from its supposed existence in the sun
alone, as no trace of it had ever been
noted on the earth. yet it was now
found to be present in the air we
breathe. Ramsay and Travers have
recently devoted their attention to five
new gases in the air. These are be-
sides argon and helium, neon, crypton
and Xenon. The chemic relations OF
these substances are now being deter
mined, anG their atomic weight varies
from that of heliun, which is four, up
to that of xenon, which is 12S-Amer.

RUSSIANS IN MANCHURlA.
1t 10 Unlikely That They Will Give
Up Their Grip There.

The number of Russian troops In
Manchuria is said to be $1,000, but 1t
is difficult to believe that the czar has
had an army of such magnitude there.
AS for railway guards, it is said that
300 will be left in Sinking, 700 in
Kirin and $50 in Amur, or 1000 in all,
Eays the Chicago Daily News. These
guards are to be of the nature of po-
lice rather than of soldiers. Russia,
it is alleged. will hand back New
chwang to China in December, but
only the most famous admirers CT
Muscovite policy believe that the
great northern power will ever prac-
tically retire from Msnchuria. 1t is
not its policy to draw back from any
land that it has once occupied despite
treaties and agreements to the con-
trary.
