ANIMALS LONG HUNGER.
Have Been Known to Survive Some
 Surprisingly Extended Fasts.

How long notwithstanding man. mals can live without food is, writes "G. w. M.," in the Liverpool Post, a natural history puzzle, and an addi- tional fact to my records of such phenomena rather tends to aggravate the solution of the problem. l learn from one of my correspondents that a fox terrier dog, belonging to one of the keepers of Dover Park, chased a rabbit into a hole, and got jammed in such a way that it could neither advance nor retreat. It's master, who thought it had been stolen, passing the burrow one day, heard a faint whine of dog, and found his terrier, emaciated and nearly dead, not having tasted food or water for 28 daysl l have record of cat having been accidentally con- fined to house cupboard press for IS days without food or water, and it lived for many years afterward, but never again hunted for mice in that particular cupboard. have many records of sheep being buried in snow drifts for two or three weeks, and in one case Ga Cumberland "Herdwick" winter of lS94-95) 27 days, and yet not killed. 1t must be borne in mind, however, that under such conditions sheep obtains a lit tie food and moisture, and ii breathes well enough under heavy fall of snov if not frozen on the surface.

A HINDOO DEITY.
General Nicholson, Hero of the Indian
 Mutiny, Deified by Natives.

Though only now steps are being tardily taken by his countrymen to erect monument to Gen Nicholson, that hero of Indian mutlny is as- sured of remembrance outlasting that which any bronze or marble can give, for he has been enshrined in the folklore or mythology of India
 None ever attained a higher ideal of an Englishman than Brig. Gen. John Nicholson, and to the people of In- dia he was the model of man and a soldier. Their devotion to him in his life passed into adoration on his death. At Nikal Seyn he is actually worshiped in some villages of the Puniab, and both there and over the northwest border his heroic deeds and noble life are sung to this day. "Ahi Nikal Seyn is dead-he died be- fore Delhi! Lances of north take vengeance for Nikal Seyn," is the be- ginning of the wailing recitation which will carry his name to poster ity.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

THE SOCIETY COLUMN.
A Newspaper Man Complains That It Is Too Inclusive.


 'Probabiy the most thoroughly abused department of any newspaper Is that which is devoted exclusively to happenings of social nature" said newspaper man. Broader lat itude for some reason, by sort of common consent among newspaper men, is given to this department, and almost anything, from finished essay to plain old unfrilled personal, is supposed to be allowable in col umns devoted to social happenings. What Is a social event? Can the definition be confined to balls, recep- tions, parties, marriages, meetings, arrivals, departures and things of that sort? If it can be thus confined it isn't. The fact is that almost any sort of happening is now supposed to be properly placed when it is put into the society columns of a newspaper. This is particularly true of the little news patches which come in from out of-town places. There are a few questions I would like to ask while on the subject, and they seem to me to be pertinent at this time. Is a death society event? Isitproper to record the details of funeral in the society columns of newspaper? Is birth social event? l would an- swer these things negatively. Dirges should be kept away from the giddy whirl of things in the social world. The sad faces of the funeral cortege do not set well with the lighter gay ety of the ballroom, the banquet and the reception hall. All matters of this sort should be kept separate and distinct from society events. They have to do with human society They may be fundamentals. There are births and deaths every day. Deaths, of course, have news value. News papers should take notice of these happenings, But why should they be crowded into the society columns? Newspapers might as well put indus trial and commercial stories in the so- ciety departments as events of this sort-and, by the way, it is no uncom- mon thing for out-of-town core spondents to do this very thing. l should like to see some definite line drawn between the strictly social event, in its lighter society meaning, and those deeper fundamental so- cial happenings which are the basis of the fabric and have nothing of that airy fairy Lillian sort of tinge which we find in the gayer circles" ]"

A TOWN NOBODY OWNS.
The Freest Port in the World Belongs
 to No Nation.

Dalny, on Talien Wan bay, North China, is a city without country, if such thing is possible. No particular flag has more right to float above it than another It is the freest port in the world. They have not even built a custom house, and no import or ex- port duties will be collected on any sort of goods whatever.
 There is population of 5o,0o0 persons, mostly Chinese, but with nearly every other nationality repre- sented.
 The harbor is of such depth that steamers drawing 30 feet can steam up alongside the immense docks and piers, which are well protected by the breakwater Their cargoes can be unloaded directly into cars, which run for 5000 miles or more to St. Petersburg. Five large piers are be- ing constructed of blocks of stone and cement, each weighing from 20 to 50 tons. These piers are from 60 to 200 feet wide, and vary in length from a quarter to half mile Docks for foreign vessels will extend be- tween the piers and along the shore for two miles The piers andanchor- age for Chinese vessels will be in an- other portion of the bay, opposite the Chinese city. Two enormous dredges, brought out from Glasgow, are pushing the work on this inn Droyement.-London Answers.

EMPHASIZES IN WAX.
Secrets of the Testing Tank of British
 Admiralty Constructors.

~~~>~~-
 One of the most important and certainly the least known of our naval establishments Is the testing house at Haslai, says the London Pail Mall Ga zette. So jealouSly are the secrets of the place guarded that naval officers even are not allowed to enter 1t unless they first obtain an official permit. These permits are but sparingly granted, for the British admiralty has a penchant for not letting its right hand, as represented by one branch of the service, know what its left hand, represented by other branches, is doing In this case secrecy IS not maintained without good reason, for the testing tank, to give the place its everyday name. Is a sort of incubator where the ideas of naval architects are hatched out. When the chief constructor designs new ship his proposals are laid before the admiral ty, and, if approved, rough draft IS sent to the officials in charge of the testing tank. These make a complete new model of the proposed new man. of-war, and carry out experiments which demonstrate to nicety whether ship of the submitted de- sign will achieve what is expected of it.
 The model is made to scale and of paraffin wax, the only substance suit able for the purpose. 1tis then placed in long tank filled with water. To the bow of the model is affixed a length of string having weight hung at the other end of it. This weight gradually draws the model along the tank. As it moves calculations are made which give the speed of the yes sel under various conditions and with different engine powers. Stability is also ascertained, for two guides run on either side of the model the full length of the tank. Careful watch is kept to see whether the model heels to one side or the other, and not until it has foated the full length without touching the guides is the stability correct. Should the model lean to one side or the other, the top heavy parts are carefully shaved off until perfect equilibrium is obtained. The shavings are then weighed in delicate balances and calculations made which give to a pound the reductions in weight which have to be made in vari- ous parts of the ship to insure herthe right degree of metacentric height. When this has been done the infor- nation obtained is sent up to the ad- miralty. The necessary modifica- tions are made, and the complete plans of the ship got out. Onee'aga \ the teSllnS tank IS cdlleu Into opera tion. More wax models are made anc tried, and not until the officials al Haslar report that all is as desired is the order to build the ship gwen.
 The tanks were established as the outcome of series of important ex- periments in the effect of wave mo- tion upon ships. These experiments were begun by the late Mir. Froude, a brother of James Anthony Froude, who made discoveries of such inn portance that the admiralty adopted his methods of research, and set up the establishment at Haslar, placing Mr. Froude in charge of it.

The 600 tons a lost in the form of fine powder, d are carried back to the earth in shape of soluble iron salts.

BRAUTIFYING CITIES.
Advice to American MunicipalitiesN from
 a French Architect.

French Architect.
 We shall cite three well-known ex- amples showing how certain cities we neglected the natural beauties gII the place and how others have 12turned those beauties to accounts says K1 the Architectural Record. Let us z take three cities which are either traversed or bordered by rivers, New York, London and Paris.
 At New York the Hudson, an ad mirable stream, does not contribute in any way to the city beauty, from the Battery to Seventy y-second street. Throughout this length it is without quays or promenades; one does not perceive it; it is merely an instru- s ment of commerce, invaded by docks, Sages, warehouses and depots.

 banks have been adorned
 berb promenade-River-
 eh brings into relief its in
 ,sable beauty. The campaign
 The preservation of the Palisades Setokens determination, tardlly aroused, to preserve the natural beau ties of suburban New Y York.
 As for London, in the East End the Thames is a trading center, but higher up it-would have lent itself to
 
 establishment in the shape of quays and promenades. Very little, how ever, has been done in this direction. Some embankments have been con- structed in recent years, but through out the greater part of the rivers course it is disfgured by villainous buildings, the walls of which come down to the very edge of the water. Besides, the authorities have permit ted the railroad companies to build their sidings over the Thames itself, and hundreds of freight wagons and passenger cars are always to be seen oyerhanging the river. Certainly London has not known how to utilize the natural beauties of the spot.
 In Paris, on the contrary, the ut most has been made of the river Seine. The river traffic is consider able, yet the construction of docks and warehouses alongside the water has not been allowed. Throughout thelength of the Seine within the city limits there is broad quay on either bank. In many parts there is double quay, the lower one serving for load ing and unloading of merchandise, and the upper one for street traffic. Alo2g the bank of the Seine run two rows of trees. What the munich pal authorities wanted was tree lined river from one end of the cap ital to the other. The designs for all the bridges have also been decided upon by them, and the railroad com panies, before carrying their lines across the river, have had to submit their plans to the city engineers. This is why the Auteuil viaduct, viewed from distance, recalls to mind the aqueducts of the Roman Campagna. In the same manner the city authorities have the last word in regard to the bridges which the Met ropolitan Railroad company is going to throw across the Seine In Paris no influences in favor of private in- terests can intervene to mar what be- longs 10 everybody-the beauty of the city.

Fully thirty thousand members were

The order of Elks is not as old as
somls CT the other fraternal societies,

last few years has placed it in the
