Eggs Used as Coin.

In these days, when everybody Is
crying out upon the scarcity of hens
eggs, says the London Answers, II is
interesting to know that in some parts
of Peru, notably in the province of
Jauja, the fruit Of the hen Is circulated
as small change. From forty TO fifty
eggs, the number varying according as
they are plentiful or scarce, are count
ed as penny to sixpence of our money.
In the market places and in the shops
the Indians make the most Of their
purchases in this brittle sort of money.
One will give two or three eggs for y
drink of the fiery native brandy called
"pisco," three more for a villainous
native cigar, and can have n regular
orgy on dozen eggs.
These eggs are packed in boxes by
the shopkeepers and shipped as soon
az possible TO Lima, the Peruvian
capital. From Jauja alone several
thousand carloads of eggs are shipped
annually 10 Lima and CallaO. The
eggs are brought into the town OF
Jauja by the Indians from all the
region around about; the shopkeepeIs

Bloodhounds as Detectives.

In the West the bloodhound is now
extensively used in the detection Of
crime and The capSure OF criminals,
The modern criminal is a very elusive
person. He is always abreast of the
times. and, quiet, skilful and often
courageous, he has this advantage. that
he usually does his work at night.
When he has completed his task he
silently makes his escape, frequently
leaving behind him no clew by which
his movements may be traced. So, at
least, he believes; but try as he will, he
must leave some clue. Intangible, in
visible as it is, it yet eXists-the pc.
cular odor Of the human body. 1t is
n certain guide TO his footsteps; science
cannot eface it, ingenuity cannot wipe
it out. This odor is as distinctive as
the features Of the face. No matter
where Il person moves: no matter
whether his trail is crossed by thou
sand others Of his kind no matter
whether the rains have fallen, or hours
have elapsed since his foot pressed the
earth, the trail is still there, and may
be followed. There is only one animal,
however, which can infallibly trace
out the scent after it has been on the
ground for several hours, and that is
the bloodhound,-The Century.

1t is charged by a writer in American
Medicine that efforts TO decrease the
cost Of manufacture Of Illuminating
gas have resulted in making a danger
Ously poisonous product. Much mod
ern gas consists largely of so-called
water-gas, which contains thirty per
cent of carbon monoxide, a fatally
poisonous substance. On the repeal, in
Massachusetts, Of laws limiting the
proportion Of monoxide IN Illuminating
gas TO ten per cent, the death rate
from gas poisoning at once rose. In

Letters Written Indicate That There Was a Feeling of Impending
 Fate at Si. Pierre.

Paris, May 21.-Martinique mails, forwarded just prior to the disaster, arrived here Sunday. The most in- tercsting of these is letter from young lady who was among the vic tims. dated May 3. After describing the awful aspect of St. Pierre before dawn, she said:
 My calmness astonishes me. I am awaiting the event tranquilly. My only suffering is from the dust, which penetrates everywhere. We are all calm. Mamma is not a bit anxious. Edith alone is frightened. If death awaits Us, there will be a numerous company to leave the world. Will it be by fire or asphyxia? It will be what God wills. You will have our last thoughts. Tell Brother Robert that we are still alive. This will, per haps, be no longer true when this letter reaches you.'
 The Edith mentioned was lady visitor who was among the rescued. Still another letter says: "St. Pierre presents an aspect unknown to the natives. It is a city sprinkled with gray snow, winter scene without cold. The air is oppressive; your nose burns Are we going to die asphyxiat- ed? What has tomorrow in store for us? A flow of lava, rain of stones or a cataclysm from the sea? Who can tell? Will give you my last thought if I must die"

AN AkGRY PROTEST FROM MONT peLee.
"hh in'n Running Down the Mountain Side. Amid Fearful De- tonntions and storm of Light ming nnJ Rain the Body was Borne to Boat

Fort de France, Island of Martin ique, Monday, May 1o.-The expedi- tion sent to recover the bodies of the British and American consuls at St. Pierre today nearly resulted in a fearful horror. The vessels taking part in the expedition were the Unit ed States steamer Potomac and the British cruiser indefatigable The Po- tomac, under the command of Lieut.. Benjamin B. Mccormick. arrived there first at II o'clock in the morn ing, and landed working parties. One party went to the site of the Ameri- can consulate and the other, headed by Lieut.. Mccormick, went to the north end of the town to the spot where the British consulate stood, from where the lieutenant could sec Mont Pelee, and noticed that a huge column of smoke and gas was pour ing out of the crater in n manner similar to the eruption of May last. He thereupon rushed to the site of the American consulate and ordered ell hands to the boats. The Ameri-
 
 lie coffin in wood ease containing the remains of the United States con sul. Thomas T. Prentis. and carried it to boat. The American party was in imminent danger.
 In the meanwhile the Indefatigable had arrived off St. Pierre but left the shore, heading for the sea, blowing her siren. At that time a huge stream of molten mater was pouring into the sea, raising columns of steam, and the whole sea was hide ous, having turned q yellow-green, while what was apparently smoke was rushing from the mountain. The detonations were continuous and were accompanied by fearful storm of lightning, thunder and rain. The flashes were of terrific violence. and during the storm new craters opened in Mont Pelee. Fortunately the wind kept the clouds of smoke and gas from enyeloping the American and British warships, or the work ing party.
 The coolness and courage of the American sailors were most note- worthy.
 The body of Mir. Prentis is now here. There will be funeral serv- ice on board the United States cruis- CT Cinciuanti tomorrow the goth. The burial will take place ashore. There will be no special ceremony.
