German Emperor's Good Nature.

TIE Neueste Nachrichten, of Ber-

dote about the kaiser. On a recent
afternoon, in the course of their usual
walk in the neighborhood of the
Thiergarten, the emperor and en-
press were met by soldier and his
sweetheart, servant girl, neither of
whom noticed the vicinity of the i'm
perial couple. The girl was the first

convulsively sprang into the street
and drew himself up as stiff as a

turned to her laughing, Go and

tinued his walk.

THOrGHT TO BE SEEKING Suicide

Arthur Farweu. the musical composer whose
development Of American Indian music is at
tracing attention tells a story of how he had
once been taken for an intended suicide
While living in Boppard "A few years ago he
said Il went to Cobenz to attend a concert. \
German musician a young woman, accompanied
me and there would be no story if We had not
missed our train home after the concert. We
waited in a cafe until > o'clock for a later train,
only 70 find that it did not stop at Boppard.
There was a strange reluctance on the part
Of the innkeepcr to whom applied for quar-
ters to admit US, but he finally gave rooms
at the opposite ends of a long hall. For the
rest Of the night he tramped the length OF the
han. listening first at my door and then at hers.
We were laughing over this in the morning
when the proprietor entered the breakfast room
He seemed much surprised at our exhibition Of
spirits.
You are happy this morning, he said You
want to die longer.
we stared at him in amazement
"'Want to die | exclaimed. finally What
do YOU mean? We never wanted to die
Then you are not Lebensmude% he said.
'Ach Gott, | watched all the night for nothing"
He finally explained that Cobenz was just
then in the midst of one of the periodical cpl
denies OF suicide Three couples had taken
their lives within a week. and he had taken US
for another life sick pair"

other rations are not at hand.
No problem called for so much mechanical
ingenuity and experiment as the proper method
Of confining the fry during the first three stages
Of their existence which, on the average, COW
cred a period of about twelve days. 1t was
necessary TO allow consideTa ole freedom, because
at this time they fond Of swimming, where
| as when the chief transformation in their nature
occurs they keep quiet But it is also essential
that they be protected from their enemies The
great difficulty was 10 devise an inclosure that
should meet both requirements. In one kind Of
trap they would be washed by the tide against
the screen at the sides, and there die. In boxes
with screen bottoms they would sink become
covered with waste material or fight each other.
Professor Bumpus then suggested the idea
Of making square bags, out Of the material
known as scrim. fastening these to a hoat and
weighing the bottoms. Some Of the bags were
fifteen feet square. and others We're smaller,
bur they all had a depth Of only three feet.
The scheme was a good one though it developed
new troubles. Pockets would form N the bags
where the weights pulled the latter down and
the fry would accumulate in the pockets. AT
length it was decided to stir the water gently
but continuously with oar. Though the
expedient crude, the principle proved sound.
The season Of 1900 closed with a small output
Of Holsters, but with the most important prob
lem practically solved.
Two improvements, in detail but not in the
ory, were effected last year. The bags were
made IN the form Of cylinders, three feet across
and forty inches deep. They were stiffened with
hoops at the top and bottom, and stretched by
securing them 10 a light frame OF wood. No
weights were attached. Twelve OF these were
mounted side by side In the hollow well of a sub

After this much Of the habits Of the lobster
had been learned, attention was given to its
diet. Even al the tender age Of d week or
two il is no vegetarian. 1t betrays distinct
preference for some sort Of animal food. The
scientists tempted it with bread which shrimp
viii eat, but the young lobster treated it with
scorn. Lobster liver proved more attractive, but

A record was made of the number of fry COM
mitted to the bags in each experiment, and
those which survived when the fourth stage
reached carefully counted. Never
until last year were more than or per cent
kept alive, and usually there was only a frac-
tion Of ! per cent. In the least successful trial
in 1901 fully Ii per cent reached the fourth
stage while out of one lot fully 20 per cent
lived. In several particulars the system may
yet be improved, but it is now evident that a
great advance has been made upon the past,
and that lobster culture is entirely feasible.

A FALSE PROPHET.

Mr. w T. stead the we'll known English Journal
ist the author of IF Christ Came to Chicago" has
written a new book He calls it "rhe Americaniza-
ton of the World" In it he states as an idea which
ne has entertained for some time, which has been re-
called to his mind by the captivity Of Miss Stone that
the Eastern question" in Europe may be solved by
an American occupation of Turkey.
This Mr. Stead thinks would be very desirable
thing He recalls that Golden had IN mind the same
remedy and quotes what he wrote upon the subject
generation ago. who doubt said Golden that
IL such an arrangement could be made before long
the desert would blossom as rose? Great centers
Of busy industry would arise in territories that at
one time the granary and treasury Of the world"
Golden aid not say how the arrangement could
be brought about but Mr. Stead never hestates at
anything in the prophetic line and reels off sensa
tions predictions easily as spider spins his web
Some day, he says there will be a savage outbreak
OF the Turks upon one Of the American mission
stations which dot territory from Ararat to the
Aegean and the American male missionaries win be
slaughtered and the American will be outraged
and placed in the harem OF pasha. Then from
the American people upon the of this diabooal
crime will go up q cry for vengeance. In Mr. Steads
picturesque language, THE question would be- Where
is Dewey? Where is Sampson? Where are our In
vncble ironclads which in two battles swept the flag
of Spain from the seas? Why are our great captains
roostlng around upon their batteships, while such
horrors are inflicted upon women from America? And
after that inquiry would quick and sharp the i'm
perious mandate; To the Dardanelles! To the Darda-
nees!"
OF course after that the rest Is easy. We would
refuse TO haul down the flag, we had planted it,
and would proceed to out Our manifest destiny
and 'benevoently assimilate" the Ottoman empire.
One of the sad consequences of the new imperial
ism for which republican party is responsible is
shpt 1t has made a subject for the predictions OF
auack prophets and sensation mongers like w. T
Stead II we seize the Philippines, why should not
also seize Turkey and the other weak nations of the
earth? II the republicans logical in their new
policy, we should not stop until compelled like Alex
ander to sigh for new worlds to conquer But the
American people going pull down the black Haq

stripes the nag of fathers and heave a huge
democratic anchor. We will set out on no moro buc
