PANORAMA
OUR MINISTER TO t,AYTL.

Hon w. r Powell Has Shown Both
Tact and cIeverness.
Our minister to the republic of Hay
II, Hon. w. F. Powell, has had an in
teresting and diversified experience in
political life.
One of the most exciting incidents
OF his diplomatic career occurred
three or four years ago, when the al
legged German citizen, Emil Lueders,
was subjected to indignities by the 10
cal authorities of Port au Prince
The German minister got very much
wrought up at the time, and was
threatening the government of Hayti
with all sorts of punishments, but
while he was talking about warships
and dynamite, Minister Powell was
quietly and courteously interceding
with the government for the release of
Lueders, as an act of courtesy toward
We United States
As a result of his intercession Lue-
1ers was freed and the threatened
rupture with Germany averted- At
the same time the incident established
a precedent virtually asserting the
protective policy of the United States
over small American states
This is only one of many services

Value of the American Steer.

In tracing the course OF this humble
but useful bovine that has fulfilled his
part in the American civilization of
Britain, we have followed the path
that is travelled every year by tens of
thousands of his kind, says Frank
Leslie's. The total annual export
value of United States meat-or which
beef forms the principal item-is in
round figures 500 900, 900. If we add
to this the distributive sales of the
various packing establishments in the
United States for the domestic market
as well, we find that it reaches the
enormous total of 10000 carloads,
valued at 50 ,OO0, 900, 900. Added to this
is the value of the many byproducta
of the packing house, which amount
to many millions more.

Spectators have seen the trained
flea go through all kinds of maneuvers
drawing carriages and cannon, drill
in company formation. and even fire
yolleys from Lilliputian artillery with
out stirring from their posts
In addition to the great jumping
ability of the flea he has great
strength He can draw $50 times his
weight over the polished surface of a
piece of glass
When these qualities are under
stood one begins to admire the abili-
ties once possessed by the 10000 fieas
which Mr. Rothschild has in walls of
chloroform.
One characteristic highly developed
in the flea is a love of home 1t has
been found that the flea prefers to
live on the animal on which it was
torn. Unless violently elected it viii
rot leave its home, and if elected IT
las preference for a similar animal

will be willing to have the flea re-
moved, it is likely that the captain
will find it convenient to kill him first
and remove the flea afterward.
Already at the museum at Tring
Park Mr. Rothschild has f1eas collected
from nearly every quarter of the
globe. They are of all sizes and all
kinds AS every animal has it's par
ticular flea. the possible numbers to
which this collection can mount are
readily appreciated. When Mr.. Roths-
child, or DIR. Jordan, who is in charge
CT the museum, hears of a trader or
an expedition being about to start
for a journey to some distant land he
commissions one of the party to bring
him back f1eas from all the animals
found in the journey.
1t is explained by DIR. Jordan that
every animal and every bird has a par
ticular kind of flea. and that many are
blessed with variety. The cat flea
is different from the dog flea and the
dog flea from the sparrow flea. And
all are different from the human flea
For this reason it is asserted that the
collection of f1eas offers wider diver
sion than the collection of any other
living animals.

erasshopper Paint.

Water and oil have long been used
by painters. and now, according to
NJ. Neige, an Algerian architect, they
will have to use grasshoppers if they
desire to be entirely up-to-date-
While recently walking in his gar
den. he picked up a grasshopper,
which had evidently been feasting for
a good while, and by pressing its
throat he obtained a very beautiful
brown substance, somewhat similar to
sepia and capable of covering a sur
face of about three square inches To
him this seems a remarkable discov.
cry. and he claims that grasshoppeT
paintings are bound to become popu-
lar very soon.-Baltimore News

From STAGE to Pulpit.

Bishop Potter officiated at the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher, New
York city, at the ordination to the
priesthood of Rev Walter E. Bentley.
Until ten years ago DIR. Bentley was
an actor, having played in most of the
Shakespearean roles, and at the pres
ent time is a diligent student of the
great English writer. Mr.. Bentley was
tlaying in Boston when he happened
to drop in to hear Phillips Brooks
preach, and was so impressed that
he felt called to enter the ministry.

Evolution.

Being convinced of the impossibility
of supporting his large family at any
of the unskilled felonies, the man hit
on the unusual expedient of seeking
honest employment.
But" he reflected, '-if I seek such
employment under my right name,
Bill Jones, nobody will hire me, while
if l give my name as Hank Smith,
say. l shall be jailed for getting job
by false pretenses. Dear me, What
shall l do? Oh, know. I'll just in

Shadow Portraits of Mckinley and
Roosevelt Painted Out.
So much annoyance has been
caused by the crowds that have
visited the capitol to view the shadow
portraits of Mckinley and Roosevelt,
that the pictures have been painted
cut. Samuel Allison, the artist who
decorated the famous brick columns
IN the pension Office, and who outlined
the two portraits of the presidents in
Statuary Hall by means of cracks and
veins in the imitation marble, serious
1y objected to their removal, but the
capitol authorities thought the draw
ing power of the pictures as mere
curiosities was too great. There have
teen more visitors at the capitol dur
ing the past week than during any
similar period since congress ad-
Journed, and the presence of the
crowds who came to see the shadow
pictures greatly Inconvenience the
orkmen who are engaged in remodel
ing the interior of the building. The
authorities assign as an additional
reason for their removal of the por-
traits that they are undignified, their
value as works of art being Overhaul
anced by their attractiveness as GU
1iosities. = Washington correspon-

Bicycle company. THE cessation of
advertising killed the bicycle bust
ness, and the way, to revive it is to
resume that same important matter"
says Col. Pope. In one year the latter
expended 100000 in this sort of pub
licity. In 1877 Col. Pope organized
the Pope Manufacturing company,
which started a year later with an
output of fifty wheels. Now the COM
pany employs a capital of upward of
$20, 100000, covers ten acres of floor
age in its factory at Hartford, Conn,
and besides an army of skilled me-
chanics engages the services of 1000
selling agents. Col. Pope gained his
title in the war of the rebellion, en-
tering the service as private at the
age of Is years and receiving his dis
charge with the rank of lieutenant
colonel. He served under Burnside,
Grant and Sherman.

EARTH A. GOOD TRANsMiTTER-

Conveys Sounds Of Bombardment
Over Hundred MIies-
A curious instance of the transmits
sion of sound through the earth was
noticed by two French engineers at
Kef On July % they happened to be
in an excavation in a volcano In the
Dyr Mountains which has been extinct
from time immemorial.
The altitude of the excavation was
about 3, 400 feet above the sea level.
Suddenly they heard the sounds of
heavy cannonading, the reports fol-
lowing at regular intervals Returning
to kef day or two later, they read
in the papers that in the course OF
some naval maneuvers the French
feet on the day and at the hour a&
which they had heard the reports had
been engaged in bombarding Bizerta-
The sound, therefore, must have been
transmitted through the earth from
B;zerta to Dyr, a distance of some
what over a hundred miles,

on Socrates. Afterward, some time
after the Greeks had their laugh and
were gathered to their fathers, some
enc did measure the jump of a flea
and found that the small six-legged in
sect could project himself just 200
times his own length, without the
aid of wings, just by the action of his
muscular legs.
Is was as if a man were to jump
from a standing position and land 333
yards from his starting point. When
that was learned the joke seemed to
be on Aristophanes, but they were all
dead by that time. SO it did not mat
ter In doing the Tremendous Jump
the flea does not have to make prepa-
rations or get a running start. When
ever danger threatens he simply
shoots out his legs and puts 200 times
his length between him and the dan

CURIOUS Growth on Trees.

Curious excrescences, resembling
rude flowers. that grow on trees in
TERRA del Fuego. are described by a
correspondent of La Nature, Paris
These are found to be due to a para
site growth, but the flowers" consist
of the inner wood of the tree, which
has been forced through the bark and
assumes various fanciful shapes, often
those of the classical acanthus, seen
on Corinthian capitals The parasite
that causes the growth is relative
of the mistletoe.

Up IN the north seas there is q
whaler. on special mission. 1t has
other purposes in being there, but
its extraordinary commission is to
catch the arctic flea The name of
the whaler is the Forget-Me-Not-- If it
gets the feas and they get loose it is
probable its sailors never will The
boat has been reported at Sydney,
Cape Breton
When the fieas have been caught
they will be added to a collection
which already numbers 10000. 1t is
in the possession of Charles ROths-
child of Tring Park, London, and he
has intrusted the captain of the For
get-Me-Not to bring back the arctic
flea.
The f1eas are to be obtained from
the blue fox, the polar bear, the Eski-
mo dog, and other arctic animals.
Hunting the arctic flea may not APP
pear at first thought to be an occupa-
ton worthy of sportsman, but when
it is considered that hunting the arctic
flea means hunting the animal on
which it is to be found it seems lit
tie more dignified. 2
