IN SELLING CHINAWARE.
The Use Explained of am Electric Light That Hangs Handy to
 the Aucti0neer.

One who has a fancy for dropping into auction sales may, at sale of crockery, for instance, see hanging near the auctioneer's stand an electric light wire, from which depends, within easy reaching distance, an incandescent light in slender. candle-shaped bulb. The visitor might wonder just what that light with the curious shaped bulb was for, there where no such light seemed to be needed at all. But presently he will discover, says the New York Sun,
 "Now, ladies and gentlemen, says the auctioneer, 'how much will you give for this beautiful little teapot?" holding up as he speaks a teapot which does not speak for itself very loudly, but which the auctioneer proceeds to describe glowingIy.
 And then in moment, still continuing to talk, he takes off the cover and holds the teapot up to the conveniently placed electric wire, and so introduces that slender, little, curious electric light bulb inside of it.
 And how thin and fine do the teapot's walls seem now, with that light inside of it, and how beautifully now, as the auctioneer talks, is the pattern on it's sides brought out!
 And that is the use Of the queer little bulb that hangs from the oddly-placed wire.

FUTURE OF BoERs.

Gen. Vd15oem Considers British Pacf-
 4lc8tion Efforts So Far a Failure.
 Prospects for the rehabilitation of the Boer country are very poor, ac- cording to the reports brought to New York recently by General Ben J. Vil- joen, one of the Transvaal leaders in the fight with Great Britain, who was passenger on the Umbria. He<Nopes to engage in agricultural interests in Mexico, for his home is wrecked, and many of the people oe his native land are unable to recoyef from the effects of the war which devastated their lands.
 "As the war is all over there re- mains nothing to be done but to make the best of a bad job,'' said the gen. eral. ''I believe the British govern ment is making an honest effort to re- store the Transvaal and the Orange Free State to their former prosperity, but it is handicapped to large extent by the fact that many of the men as- signed to the task are not fitted for the work.
 'The Boers are trying to make the best of the situation, but in many cases their efforts to be friendly are re- pulsed. On my voyage from the Cape to England met several British off cers, who did everything they could to show their contempt and dislike for me. do not care for such things on my own account, but I think the Eng. fish should do all in their power to reconcile a conquered nation.
 "Many of the Boers never will be re- established in their homes, and hNn- dreds have wandered off and have be- come lost There was plan to settle many of them in Chihuahua, Mexico. where concession of 85,00o acres had been given. There are now four fam flies down there.

COSTLY GAME.
Sea Elephants Cost the Hunters About S7,OO0 Apiece-Sport in the
 Antarctic Circle.

Walter Wynne, who has recently re. turned from the Heard islands, where he has spent eight months hunting sea elephants, calculates the cost of his ex- petition at between $60,o00 and s75. .000. For this outlay. all he had to show were nine old bulls, none of which is of rec ord size, says Stray Stories.
 The Heard islands lie some 200 miles south of Kerguelen, in the Antarctic ocean. and are ice-capped all the year round. To reach them special ship had to be builtr and provisions laid in for three years, ns there was possibi1- ity of the expedition being beset in the pack.
 Plenty of cub sea elephants and fe- males were found on the accessible south coast of the principal island, but the big bulls, which were what the hunters were after. had all taken refuge on the north coast, that was unvisited up till then.
 To reach them the party had to traverse the dangerous inland fee, and, in coming back along the shore, were several times nearly overwhelmed by avalanches, one of which fell on an average of every seven minutes throughout the Il days.
