Caracas, Dec. 15.-A movement is
 on foot hers headed by prominent doctors to request President Castro to resign and ask Vice President Ramon
 form a cabinet without party tenden- cies. It is proposed to summon con- gress to appoint temporary president and to arrange questions in the dis
 pute in manner satisfactory to all concerned. The Venezuelan govern
 ment announces that Great Britain
 has opened navigation on the OrinOco river. Two warships will patrol the mouth of the river and the stream
 itself. The government reports the German cruiser Panther going to Mar acaibo to destroy the forts there.
 Minister Bowen at the request of the Dutch minister who is sick at Cur acao has taken charge of the Dutch interests at Caracas. Leading mer- chants of LaGuayra arrived here to- night after abandoning LaGuarya through fear that it will be shelied today. At o'clock yesterday after noon the British marines blew up with dynamite subterranean prison cells in Castle Libertador. They also burned all wooden buildings sur rounding the castle. They carried off everything that could be destroyed. The subsequent conduct of the ma rines caused great indignation among the Venezuelans. The Venezuelan warship Marinda escaped the vigilance of the German cruisers and arrived at Maracaibo yesterday.
 Berlin, Dec. 15.-It is understood here that Venezuela's proposal to arbitrate was received too late to affect the general situation.
 London, Dec. 15.-Under Foreign Secretary Lord Cranborne in the house of commons today denied that the British commander was responsi- ble for sinking the Venezuelan ships. He said the British government had been informed that the German com mander found it necessary to sink two ships but that the British were not for this. The house vii: discuss Venezuelan matters at 7i o'clock this evening.

UNITED STATES IS comPLImEnTEr
Diplomatic Opinion in Europe Consid- CTS that the Monroe Doctrine
 is Rec0Qnized.

Berlin, Dec. 16.-The German gov ernment has not yet replied to Gas tro's offer of arbitration and is still in correspondence with the British on the subject. The cabinet believes that Castro's proposals are designed to see what Germany and Britian are now willing to do and to also test American public feeling. It is be- lieved here that it is too late to arbi- trate. The Governments concern is to avoid what could be taken inter as declaration of war, re- sulting in the recognition of Vene- Zuela as a belligerent. Diplomatic opinion regards the conduct of the United States as strong and dignified.
 The state department is handling the affair in manner which is looked upon as establishing Europe's recog- milton of the Monroe doctrine, be- cause every Step of Germany and Great Britain was made after taking into account what the United States thOuOht

Pocket. Catches Erasinus

IN correcting an error. In spite of the
utmost care q portion of the dirt from
each erasure falls into the machine,
not only causing 1t to have an untidy
appearance, but, worse still, tending
to greatly Increase the natural wear
of the mechanism. To get rid of this
dirt, it is customary to have the ma.
chine cleaned at intervals at consid-
cradle expense, and it is question
then if the machine is in proper shape,
as it would have to be taken almost
entirely to pieces to get out all the
fine particles. There is no doubt the
better plan would be to utilize the
neat little device shown in our illus
tration, consisting of pocket formed
at the lower edge of slotted metal
plate to catch the crossings as they are
brushed from the paper. The upper
portion of the plate is curved to fit
against the roller, and the slot is SO
shaped that the eraser can be moved
vertically or horizontally. The slot
ted plate pressed against the paper
holds it perfectly rigid under the fric-
ton of the roller, and, as the plate is
of thin sheet metal, it is an easy task
to brush the dirt into the pocket. The
device will fit any machine, and is
easily adjusted against the platen over
the error. This is the invention of N.

PARIS TAKES TO HORSE FLESH
Over Two Hundred Shops Whore Cheap
Meat Is Sold.

Over Two Hundred Shops Whore Cheap
Mest Is Sold.
The taste for horseflesh in Paris,
which is demonstrated by the recent
banquet, does not date back many
years.. It was under the second en-
pire, during the expedition to Morocco,
that 1t came into the dietary of the
French soldier. The expeditionary COL
umn had nothing to live upon, SO it
slew and ate the horses, and everyone
was agreeably surprised at the quality
of the meat.
Emile Decroix, veterinary surgeon
with the troops, resolved to profit by
the experience. Arrived in Paris, he
set about popularizing the horse as
food. He distributed meat gratuitous-
ly to the poor population. In his pro-
paganda he interviewed the project
and ministers and even had audience
of the emperor. He opened the first
hippophagous butchery, in the Place
d'Italie, in 1866. 1t was the siege of
Paris that caused the flesh of horses
to be regarded as positive delicacy.
That was thirty-two years ago. How
has the notion progressed since? Paris
has now $50 shops where they sell the
meat; all are prospecting. Last year
10000 horses were slaughtered and
eaten. Rouen, Toulouse, Lille, Orleans,
have all taken to horse eating. The
meat is cheaper than beef. Whereas
one pays francs the livre for good
fillet Of beef, it only costs a franc If
YOU take horse.
The animal that was eaten the other
day with such eclat had a singular
history. 1t won several steeplechases
at Auteuil and Bois-C olombes. It was
an English mare and its name was
Nell Gwyn. In November, 1893, the
crowd on the course, was very irritated
at the defeat OF the favorite in the
preceding race. It revenged itself by
throwing stones. One of the stones
struck the left eye of Nell Gwyn and
ruined the sight. Nevertheless. the
noble beast won the race.-Pall NAL

A Geological Fallacy.

Probably the most wild and unjusti-
fable of all the crude beliefs respect
ing geological resources is that which
holds to the conviction that by going
deep enough the drill is sure to find
something of value, no matter at what
point the work of boring is commence
ed. There are numerous wise persons
in every community, estimable, influ-
entail and in the highest degree pub
lie spirited, who are convinced that
the question, for example, of finding
coal in their special locality is simply
a matter of the depth to which the ex-
plorations are carried. Rock oil and
natural gas are recognized as desirable
products in every progressive COM
munity, and every such community
contains persons, in other respects in
telligent, who are ready to stake their
own fortune and that of their nearest
friends on the belief that oil and gas
are everywhere underneath the sur
face. and that their sources can be
tapped with the drill, providing only
there is sufficient capital to keep up
the process of drilling long enough.

Expected Comets of 1902.

Two periodic comets are expected to
return during the present year. The
first was originally discovered by Te-,.
pie at Marseilles in 1869 and revolves
about the sun every five and half
years. 1t was Independently discov-
cred by swift in California in 1880
and was again found by Barnard at
the Lick Observatory in 1891. 1t was
not seen in 1886 and in 1897. nor be-
tween 1869 and 1880. 1t is expetce 1
to return early in December, 1902.
The second comet was discovered by
Swift in California in 1895, and it's
period is about seven years. 1t is not
improbably identical with the comet
discovered by Messier at Marseilles in
ITO. 1t was expected to return in
1775, but in passing close to Jupiter
it's orbit was greatly altered. 1t will
return toward the end of November,
1902.

French scientist Tells Why They Are
Nssded by Women.
In an article on "Women's Clothing
and Hygiene" contributed to the Re-
vue Scientifque by M. Frantz Gle
nard, the author controverts popular
ideas on the subject of the corset. He
lays down the following propositions:
81. The corset has it's raison d'etre
from the esthetic point of view.
2. Esthetics and hygiene may be
reconciled in women's clothing, even
in the corset.
"3. 4he corset may be of use in Ger.
tain maladies."
These statements. which he &C
knowledges are somewhat audacious
on the part of hygienist, he at
tempts to justify in the course Of his
article. AS to the first, he remarks
that the adoption of clothing by man
is the result neither OF modesty nor OF
a desire to protest the body against
the weather; it is result, he asserts,
wholly of a desire for adornment-
the same that leads the savage to tat
too himself. Mems costume has tend
ed more and more to straight lines,
signifying action, women's to curved
lines, signifying, according to the all
thor, that they are made to please"
Rightly and strength for man." he
says, "suppleness and fascination for
woman" The corset, then, is an at

Inventor of tho Ca,l,op..

Joshua G. Stoddard, who died the
other day at Springfield, Mass, at 81
years of age, was said to be the in
ventor of the steam calliope, the pat
ent of which, it is claimed, was stolen
from him by another man. The in
strument which was made by him over
forty years ago was much like the
ones now used. Mr.. Stoddard was al.
ways unfortunate with his inventions
financially. His latest device was a
fire escape, but it never became prac-
tical His chief labor for many years
was the care of his hives of bees and
the production of honey, in which he
was an expert. Mr.. Stoddard was
somewhat eccentric and religiously in
clined, having contributed to religious
newspapers. In appearance he was a
striking patriarchal figure, with his
long white beard and visionary eyes,
which betokened the enthusiast.
