FLIES SPREADING TYPHOID.
Insects Are Chief Cause of Mortality Among British Troops in South
 Africa.

A British army surgeon who has long been at the front in South Africa writes an interesting letter to a London med ical 5ournal from Harrowsmith. He expresses the conviction that flies have a great deal more to do with the rav- ages of typhoid fever than has been generally suspected. He believes that they are the chief cause of the fearful mortality from the pest in South Af- rica. He argues that inasmuch as na- ture has designed them to convey poll len on their legs from one plant to an other, it is only reasonable to suppose that they are equally capable of carry ing and distributing the germs of dis ease. He points out as a emarhable fact that, although there was a terri ble outbreak of enteric in Ladysmith during the famous siege, when flies abounded everywhere, there was none last year, when there was also nota- ble absence of flies This latter phe- nomenon he ascribes to the treatment of all meat and other articles pecul- iarly attractive to these winged nui- sances with some sort of chemical preparation which effectually kept them off. The pernieious activity of the fly obviously would make him a most efficient agent for the diffusion of poisonous microbes

BRITISH NAVAL CUSTOMS.
An Interesting Account of the Origin of a Aumber of Regular
 Practices.

A fact not generally known is that the black silk handkerchief which Jack knots around his throat was first worn as mourning for Nelson, and has ever since been retained. The three white stripes around the broad blue collar of the sailors j-,rnper commem- crate the victories of Trafalgar, Copen- hagen and the Nile. Thus, it has been remarked, the Nelson legend affects not only Jacks work, but his food and clothing as well. The broad blue collar itself is older than the great admiral. It was first adopted at that period when sailors plastered their hair into stiff pigtail with grease and powder, says the London Family Herald.
 At nine o'clock each night the sentry in every ship in harbor fires off his rife. For the origin of this custom we may have to look back to the days of flint locks. Then, in order to test the priming and see that his weapon was in usable condition, the sentry hat to fire it off each night. There is no necessity for such test with modern rifles, but the nine o'clock firing is religiously carried out.
 Every officer or man climbing to the quarter deck salutes. The origin of this usage dates back long way. When England was a Roman Catholic country crucifix stood on the quarter deck of all ships. Every time any one of the crew approached this holy sym bol he crossed himself. Out of that has grown the custom of saluting the quarter deck

QUEER TRAVELS OF PLANTS.
fcebergs and Volcanoes Act as Dtss tributfng Agents for Various
 Growths.

One would not imagine, off-hand, that ice could possibly be instru- mental in accomplishing the distribu- tion of plants, yet French scientist has recently called attention to the fact that icebergs are frequently use- full in this way. Navigators in polar seas often encounter bergs carrying enormous masses of debris, with more or less soil, in which plants are growing. Eventually the ice-mass runs aground upon the shore of some distant land, there depositing the plants, which may find themselves so situated as to be nabled to repro duce their species, says, the Philadel- phia Saturday Evening Post.
 The case of volcanoes as plant-dis- tributors is even more remarka ble, though one must regard as very ex- ceptional such instances as that noted at Port Elizabeth, South Afri- ca, in 1887, where large quantities Of volcanic pumice were observed float ing on the sea. On these fragments of pumice were found various small animals unfamiliar in that part of the world, and there was also a sort of cocoanut. The nut was planted, and in due time produced palm strange to the African coast. It was decided that the pumice came from the great eruption of Krakatoa, ln the Straits of Sunda, which was in it's way the most remarkable volcanic cataclysm of modern times.

 ENGINE AS A BOOTJACK.
Novel Manner in Which q Frost-Btt. ten Bralxeman's Boots Were
 Taken or.

"It isn't often that you hear of 2 man using a locomotive for boot jack,' said Conductor Frank Ora, of the Delaware division of the Erie rail- road, according to recent report, sbut here's one case:
 "Walt Douglas, a brakeman on my coal train, set out one dark night to flag passenger train just west of Han cock. He was out in the bitter cold for a long while, and when he came back his fingers and ears were badly frozen
 "After we had got some whisky down him and had rubbed his hands and ears in snow we tried to remove his boots, but his feet were, so badly frozen that they could not be pulled off. Douglas is an economical cuss and he would not let us cut them off his feet. He said that the boots had cost him seven dollars a week before and he, could not afford to lose them so soon, even if by so doing he would be relieved of his sufferings.
 "It was finally agreed to take Doug las out on the engine, stick his boot heels between the slots of the pilot, and then back up.
 'When everything was ready the en- gineer reversed the engine, while we chung to Coleman's arms and shoul- ders. The boots came off quick enough, but Douglas legs came so near going with them that there was no fun in it. :"

 Cambridge. Mass, Jan 13.-YaIe last Tall tried to prove that Cuts had played four years and they. failed Then they brought forward that he had been a physical instructor while teaching mathematics at the Hayer- ford Grammar school, but the head master of the school sent a written af- fidavit that Cutts never received one cent of pay for his work in the gym nasium at the schol
 Two months after the game had been fought and won Yale sends to Harvard photographs of three re- ceipted bills made out by the same Cutts for boxing lessons and the in- dorsed check in payment of the same.
 Professor Hollis issued a statement saying that, although they believed confidently that Cutts was an amateur, and although they investigated thor oughly every rumor to the contrary in vain, still it turns out that he was not eligible for the team, and he now makes this public explanation as the only sort of reparation which lies in his power toward those colleges against whose football teams Cutts was played by Harvard last fall Ac- companying Professor Hollis state ment is a statement by Cutts in which he says that at the time his eligibility was called into question by other charges the fact that he had ever giv- en any boxing lessons for money en- tirely slipped his mind, and this is be ifeved by all who know the man, who is as honest and straightforward as old "Abe."

DISPUTE UNSETTLED.
Question of Arbitration 8 Hard Ons
 For Pan-Americans.

For Pan-Americans.
 CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 13.-The meetings fixed for yesterday morning between the representatives of the American, Mexican, Argentine and Pc, rugian delegation to the pan-American conference for the purpose of definite ly settling the arbitration dispute diG not take place, as the Mexican repre- sentatives asked for further post ponement on account of not having been able to consult with President D1az.
 In the meantime the Argentines and their friends are getting tired of delays and say that if they shall be prolonged beyond a reasonable point they will take them as equivalent to a definite rejection of their claims to have the compulsory plan pass through the con- ference, and they will withdraw.
 The Chileans, on the other hand. have not abated their demand that the compulsory plan shall not be reported to the conference and drop all sorts of mysterious hints about what they will 60 if it shall be. The Chileans base their claims not only on the general understanding that nothing disagreea- bie to Chile was to be discussed by the conference, but upon the alleged verb al and specific promise that the subject of compulsory arbitration should not be brought up. The Mexicans say the Chileans misunderstood the real i'm port of this interview. Nevertheless at the present moment it looks very much as if the Chileans would have their way, though it is impossible to make any certain forecast.
 The committee on general welfare has adopted the resolutions of Volney Foster of the United States and Senor Chavero of Mexico looking to the pres ervation of archaeological documents in the countries of America.

MGovERN RECOVERING SLOWLY

Terry McGoyern, who underwent an operation on Saturday at the Hane- mann hospital, for the removal of sey- eral pieces of bone from his nose, which prevented him from breathing properly, will not leave the hospital by tomorrow as expected. The case is more complicated than first thought and it was learned last night that Ter ry will be unable to go to his training quarters at Hampstead before next Thursday or Friday. McGevern's ol- factory organ is still sore and swathed in bandages. Dr Crump, under whose supervision the operation was per- formed, yesterday said: "McGovern will not be able to leave the hospital until about Thursday or Friday. He spent most of the day in bed. and was quite cheerful despite the fact that tubes for breathing are inserted ;n both his nostrils. He has to be ex- tremely careful, as the least irritation Is likely to open the wounds and cause him to bleed. This is the dangerous part of the operation and may cause an undue loss of blood. His physical condition is perfect and I do not ex- pect any Ill effects" When asked if a blow on the nose would cause a re- newal of the old trouble at some fu- ture time the physician said: "I ex- pect by the date of AIcGovern's con- test with Dave Sullivan, on February 22, the wound will be entirely healed
 Of course he will have to be very care Iul noW. But when the operated parts have grown together again everything will be all right. I have advised him not to do serious work until about fhree weeks before the combat.n
