story to tell against himself.
Stern toward men, he is pleasant to
women. He never goes into port, if he
can help it, without giving a ball on lis
flagship. He was a great favor.te with
Queen Victoria and was deeply attached to
her.
When the French Admiral Ger, ais visited
Portsmouth some years ago with his feet
Fisher was told off by the admiralty to
do the honors to him.. The queen called
him to Osborne and said:

Gerva!s, as he was so kind to Us when we
were recently at Cim,ez."
Madam replied 'Jacky' CALAMITY, Il

Sir John Fisher is honored by his poll
teal superiors and the permanent heads of
the admiralty because he is the one man
in the British Navy who always holds
his tongue. In a career of over forty
years he has never spoken Or written a
word for publication; he has never been
guilty of the slightest indicc-c.ion. In
these days of garrulous generals and
argumentative admirals that Is n record
worth having. This strong, silcrt man has
a horror OF notoriety. This trait in his
character made it impossible for him to
get along amicably with Lord Charles
Beresford when the latter was his second
in the Mediterranean a couple OF years ago.
Lord Charles is n fine sailor. but Fisher
regarded him as a leaky vessel, incurably
fond of talking when he ought to hold his
tongue.

arrest in Salt Lake City on the charge

was arrested In Salt Lake City by
Deputy Marshal Smythe while calling
for his mail at the local postoffice.
United States Postoffice Inspector
George Beatty has been working on
the case and II is said succeeded in
locating Clark. It is alleged that Clark

more than 5000. II Is also alleged that
he Is short in his accounts. When
arrested he admitted his identity, but
denied that he was guilty Of the
charges. He will be given a prelim-
mary hearing on Thursday before

Clark came to Lombard some few
months ago from the south, where,

railroad business. For about year

Education and Business.

Few men went to college a genera
ton or two ago unless they intended to
enter one Of the learned professions,
and the proportion of intending law
yers, teachers, physicians and minis
ters was pretty uniform in each class.
But all this is changed. In the grad-
uating class of Harvard this year about
100 Of the total OF more than 600 in
tend to go into business. Law and
teaching together attract about the
same number, and only forty-six In.
tend to be physicians, and six will
preach. The significant fact to be not

EARLY Career of vesuvius.

The most recent excavations show
that vesuvius began its work as a
conservator Of antiquity earlier than
the memorable year OF 70. During
the excavations in the valley Of the
Sarno near San Mariana. some most
interesting antiquities have come to
light These had been covered up BY
a volcanic deposit about six feet thick,
which points to an eruption Of vesu-
vlus which must have taken place In
the seventh century before Christ. The
relics include a Greek burying place,
archaic italian tombs and various
bronzes and terra cottas.

A WONDERFUL TREE.
II Has Tarantula-liixe blossoms with
Supplying Odor.

IL Has Tarantula-liixe blossoms with
Supplying Odor.
A wonderful tree of unknown varie-
ty has been discovered In mountain
canyon In a spur of the San Jacint0
mountains, down near the Mexican
line. II was discovered by party Of
prospectos who penetrated the can
yon In search Of water. A branch Of
the tree and its blossoms were brought
to this city for classification, but 1t In
unknown to botanists in this city.
The leaves Of the tree resemble In
size and shape the fig leaf, but they
are Of vivid purple color and the un-
der side of the leaf is thickly covered
with stiff hairs which stand out from
the leaf fully half an inch. These hairs
are sharp and thornlike and easily pen
citrate the skin, and when they do so
they are poisonous, causing swelling
and much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as are
the branches and leaves. They are of
a rusty red color and are about two
inches in diameter. In shape they are
a very good representation Of the ta-
rantula. There is a huge hairy bulb, In
shape resembling the abdomen of the
poisonous spider, and there are several
chives, or stamens, corresponding to
the legs of that insect.
The most peculiar feature Of the
plant, however. remains to be told.
Whenever one approaches the plant or
when the wind agitates the branches
Of the tree the flowers give off an
abundance of perfume-heavy, sicken-
ing and deadly. This perfume has the
quality Of chloroform, and few In
halations of the odor produce uncon-
sciousness. The prospectors who made
the discovery Of the plant were rem
dered insensible upon approaching the
tree to examine 1t.
AS the plant seems to have no botan-
zeal name two names have been sug-
gested by the qualities of the plant It.

Central of Surgical Steel.

York, including those in the larger hos

trict of Brooklyn. He has also con-
tract with the city for repairing sur
gical instruments for the public hos
pitals. According to this specialist
American made steel has not yet reach
ed a point Of perfection that makes 1t
available for a superior class of work.
Surgical steel can be wrought and
bought only In England" he said. "The
famous surgeons of Berlin and Vienna
must send to England for their instru-
ments. In modern surgery, where life
or death depends absolutely upon the
reliability Of the instrument to do ex-
actly the work that the operator ex-
poets of It, no surgeon will take chances
with knife. scissors or forceps that he
cannot depend upon as absolutely as
he can depend upon his own nerve

knowledge of navigation has on the
bridge Of an ocean liner."-New York

charges standing against him. The
particular crime of which Snyder
stands accused, and for which he was

Snyder claims that his arrest is
