Britain and France, proposing a change for
the purpose Of agreeing upon a means to
prevent a monopoly Of wireless telegraphy
on the high seas. According to the state
ments printed here, the above step is a
direct consequence of the reported refusal
OF the wireless station at Nantucket to
receive a wireless message from Prince
Henry on Deutschland.
Ignorant of q Boycott.
The statement cabled from Berlin to New
York that Germany had sent a protest to
the British government against the Mar
conf peoples boycott against being equipped
with the Slaby-Arco apparatus is discredited
here. High officials OF the foreign office de-
clare they know nothing Of the matter.
1t is already apparent that the Beers
experience with modern rifles will have a
permanent influence upon German military
tactics. Emperor william and high mill
tary authorities have been studying all
authentic accounts Of Boer battles which
describe whole companies rising and rush
ing forward to new firing positions. The
emperor has instituted the practice Of only
eight or ten men rising At once and ad-
vancing and has decided also that all
typographical positions Of the field must be
fully used for the protection Of the at
tackers. AS illustrating the Importance
which the authorities here attach to the
military lessons OF the Boer war It may
be mentioned that returning officers in all
cases get appointments to the general stan.
semi-oficial statements made here rep
resent the German government as fully
satisfied with the result Of the interviews
at Vienna between Count Won Buelow and
signor Prinetti. the italian minister Of for
eign AFFAIRS. in which all questions between
Germany and Italy were fully discussed.
While the negotiations were not finished
It is now regarded here as assured thai
through the interview the renewal Of the
Dreibund will soon be concluded.

A BLUE ROSE.
A Botanical Curiosity at the Kew Gar
dens, London.

From the New York Times.
The announcement was made a few days
ago in a London paper that perfect blue
rose had been received from America al
Kew Gardens There was nothing in the
short notice, aside from the mention that
the rose was considered a botanical curios-
fty, to indicate that the flower, a perfect
blue, marks an epoch in rose culture
Among the faddists in the growing of
the rose it has been for ages the sought
for color. Not that there would be any
particularly large money reward but there
seems to be some allurement in the hope
that their name may go down in botanical
history trailing after a Latin prefix as the
grower of "a perfect blue"
In other countries and in bygone years
Things were different as to the monetary
rewards for successful growing Of floral
monstros1ties. This was notably the case
In the Netherlands during the early part
OF the seventeenth century. The country
went mad over the tulip and large bo-
muses. IN cash We're offered for the produc-
varieties, especially a true black. And one
instance Is recorded where Ii, 600 forms was
paid for a single plant
nile the growing of these floral freaks
mas always been matter of much interest
20 ootan1sts. 1T has been a luxury with
"nicn the commercial florist, no matter how
enthusiastic, could not afford to toy. He is
mostly concerned in the successful raising
OF varieties for which there is well-knoyn
public demand. Thus Instrumentation has
peco'ne monopoly enjoyed by private bo-
tanical students and those at the head of
ootanicai gardens and the Conservatives at
tached to private estates

Electric Light Baths.
From the London Post,


At the exhibition of medical and surgical
apparatus which has been giving the
queens Hall the appearance of bazaar
OF chemists shops on a large scale there
are at least three installations for giving
hshf baths,' something akin to- the "sun
oatn treatment, which has attracted so
many hopeful hypochondriacs in Germany.
MANY experiments in light therapy have
oeen made during the last few years, and
IN SKIN diseases especially cures have been
reported which sound almost like those of
Aouroes' Among such may be reckoned
some some cases reported by DnhAuen Pussy of
LIMOS University, inc enes Of the medical
journals or this week. The Roentgen rays

CUSTOMS IN MEXICO.
It Is Considered Bad Form to Carry a
Bundle.

From the Mexican Herald.
In country like Mexico where service
has always been available and servants
multitudinous. where the well-to-do or
even comfortable. family has been accus-
toned to a separate nurse for every baby,
and where there are almost as many divi-
sions in the household duties as In India,
1t Is but natural the people should become
accustomed to having their slightest effort
anticipated for them. Other causes too are
climatic. and those arising in the common
dtsfavor with which any form of manual
labor was regarded in this dependency of
the Spanish monarchy.
The remnant. or rather the effect, of these
influences still survive, and the Anglo
Saxon who would preserve absolutely good
form should not indulge in carrying home
his newly purchased outing shirt or golfnR
shoes, however much his soul may long to
make sure of them" This longing Is per
fectly excusable. and the more so In Mexi-
co. where 1t Is not yet conceded that time
Is money or anything like 1t; but on the
contrary there exists general indifference
as to the flight Of the golden moment
which to the over-prudent northerner is in

LIGHTHOUSE AT CAPE HORN.
The Worlds Commerce is Interested
in Chilean Survey.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
Mr.. David E. Hume. late conservator Of
the River Humber. sends us the following
extract from the letter OF a Chilean naval
officer. describing his visit to Cape Horn
for the purpose of selecting a suitable site
on which to erect lighthouse. Mr. Hume
mentions also that the recently formed
hydrographcal department OF the Chilean
government has already materially simpli-
fled the navigation of the Magellan straits
by erecting lighthouse at each entrance
and by placing beacons and buoys on sew
eral OF the more intricate parts Of the pas
sage.
The Chilean officer writes under date May
y. 1902: we were on the cruiser President
Errazuriz. under the command Of Capt.
Arturo Cueyas. c. N, surveying the bay
that the captain named Allen Gardiner on
the north side OF Hardy peninsula between
cape jackson and Packeaddle, where the
mission station is. We also were exploring
the unsurveyed parts of these regions
When in Allen Gardiner we waited for a
good day, and went to Cape Horn at the
rate Of fifteen knots. We got quite close
to the land. and found landing places on
the east side of the island and well pro-
tected from the west winds, which are
dominant in these parts
In the first place. 1t was a question of
finding proper landing places; secondly. a
well-protected place. solid foundations,
good sea view, good altitude. not SO low
that the waves would interfere. and not SO
high that the clouds would cover II: thirdly.
that the island should be fit for living
There are good slopes and valleys on the
east side, protected from the winds with
streams of water, and big woods for obtain
ing frewood. Having assured ourselves of
these things, 1t is very easy matter of
making the proper plans and outlaying the
lighthouse. II / say easy I do not mean
1t is an easy task-long way from it-but
that 1t is possible. and that there would
