A NEW BUILDING MATERIAL.
Great Things Are Expected of UraI-
ite, the Invention of a Rus
sian officer.

A new building material which
promises much for the future is called
uralite. 1t is the invention of a Rus
sian artillery officer and chemist
named Imschentezky. Uralite is COM
posed of asbestos fiber, with a proper
proportion of silicate. bicarbonate OF
soda and chalk, and is absolutely fire.
proof In a soft form a sheet of ural-
ite is like an asbestos board; when
hard it resembles finely sawn stone
and has a metallic ring. Besides be-
ing non-conductor Of heat and cleo
tricity, it is practically waterproof
(and may be made entirely so by
paint, and it is not affected either
by atmospheric influences or by the
acids contained in smoke, which rap
idly destroy galvanized iron. 1t can
be cut by the usual carpenters or
woodworker's tools; it can be We
neered to form paneling for walls or
partitions; it can be painted, grained,
polished and glued together like wood; !;
it is not affected when exposed to
moisture or great changes of temper
ature, and it can be given any de-
sired color either during the process
of manufacture or afterward.

THRIvEs ON KEROSENE.
Smallest Mosquito of It's Class Is &
Terror and Grows Fat
ON the Oil.

DR.. L. o. Howard, the governments s
chief expert on the mosquito question,
frankly admits that one variety of the
pestiferous insect has turned up in
New Jersey and on the islands around
the harbor of New York with which he
and all the government forces cannot
cope. This species has been named
and classified as the Aedes Smithii. A
member of DR.. Howard's staff named
Smith discovered this most torment
ing species of the entire family and
that accounts for the latter part of the
terror's name.
The Aedes Smith, is the smallest
mosquito known, as well as the most
ravenous and the hardest to kill.
Every other species of the tribe sue
cumbs to kerosene oil when that fluid
is poured on water in which the young
mosquitoes are maturing. But not so
the Aedes Smithii. This little vixen
thrives and grows fat on kerosene.
DR.. Howard's experts hint that they
have found a poison that will kill
Smiths terror, as it is called among
the scientists of the agricultural de-
partment, but until they satisfy them
selves by further tests they will make
no public announcement.

after what they had seen of his deadly
craftsmanship they gave it to him
without demur. His needs were sim
pie. He wanted steam as soon as the
engineers could give it to him, and he
intended to take the yacht into Gibral-
tar right away. Had anybody an OBJ
lection to raise?
The red haired man made himself
spokesman. 1--WE should have to go to
Glib anyway" said he "Some of us
want doctor badly, and three of us
want parson to read the funeral
service. Whether you can get ashore
once we do run into Glib, captain, is
your own concern"
"You can leave that to me safely"
said Captain Kettle. SIT will be some
thing big that stops me from having
my own way now.'
The men dispersed about their du-
ties, and the decks were hosed down
and the deck lights switched off. After
awhile Donna CLotilde came gliding up
out of the darkness and stepped up the
ladder to the top of the deckhouse.
Kettle regarded her uneasily.
To his surprise, she knelt down, took
his hand and smothered it with burn
ing kisses. Then she went back to the
head of the ladder. my dear" she
said, Il will never see you again.

"Miss La Touche," said Kettle, "you
will find man in your own station
one of these days to make you prop
er husband. and then you will look
back at this cruise and think how
lucky it was you so soon sickened and
: kicked me away from you"
She shook her head and smiled
through her tears. You are generous"
she said. "Goodby. goodby, my dar-
ling! Goodbye
Then she went down the ladder, and
Captain Kettle never saw her again.
A quartermaster came up and took
the wheel. The windlass engine had
been clacking, and the red haired man,
who had constituted himself Temporal
ry mate. called out from forward, "All
gone"
"Quartermaster," said Kettle.
'Yes, SIR" said the quartermaster.
''Nor' nor-west and by west"
"Nor' no'west. no'west it is, SIR" said
the quartermaster briskly.

PROGRESS IN MEXICO.
New Government OF the Federal Dis
trict Will Include Sub
urban Towns.

The new ADMINISTRATION of the fed
eral district of Mexico, which went into
effect on July /, will make for increased
efficiency and marked improvement in
the living conditions of the inhabitants
of the district, particularly in the sub
urban towns, says Modern Mexico.
These towns, instead of being depend
ent purely on their local resources and
the greater or less enterprise and in
telligence of their annually elected mu-
n1clpal boards, which were often uncer-
tain factors, will be taken directly un-
der the wing of the federal government,
whose ample means will be available for
the improvements demanded by health,
decency and comfort In other words,
these towns will be no longer isolated
and left to prosper or decay, accord
ing to the abundance or scarcity of their
own funds, but will be taken into a
general system of which the capital will
be the head, and, equally with the capi-
tai, they will be the object of the solicit
tude and liberality of the federal ex-
chequer. There will be no atrophied
y,
each will receive a generous and invig-
Grating current of the life-fluid. In
fact, the whole spirit of the law is that
this district, the seat of the federal au-
thorities, is in a special manner their
concern; it is in way their estate, so
to speak, their show place, and, there
fore, every part of it will be entitled
IN tho rbio1, hoo 1,txy
more solid interests demand.
The law vests the administration of
the federal district in three federally
appointed officials, known astthe gov
ernor of the district, the president of
the superior board of health and the
director of public works, in some cases
acting together as superior governing
board, or separately, each in clearly
defined sphere of action.
The ayuntamientos, or municipal
councils, cease to be governing and ad-
ministering bodies, and, in fact, cease
as corporations to have an independent
legal existence, but on the other hand,
boards of aldermen will continue to be
elected in the capital and outside towns
of the district, and they will constitute
a popular check on the superior govern
ing board. They will be the representa-
tives, the guardians of the interests of
their several localities, with the rights
of initiative, vigilance and veto. They
will be entitled to suggest measures in
the interest of their constituencies; to
exercise supervision over the proper car
rying out of measures adopted; and to
suspend public works, which they con-
slider detrimental, by veto which can
not be ultimately set aside except by
the president of the republic, acting with
the advice of his cabinet.

CHAPLAIN OF THE TUILERIES.

Who Has Abandoned His
Odd Calling.

A singular parsonage in Paris social
life has disappeared in the person of
ex-Mgr. Bauer, who was formerly the
brilliant chaplain of the Tuileries,
says the Paris correspondent of the
London Chronicle. Mgr. Bauer, who
was of Jewish extraction, began life
as stock brokers' clerk, but sudden

the seminary of st. Sulpice After mis-
ordination his eloquence attracted Ma
poleon ILL.,, who offered him court
chaplaincy, with the special task of
teaching the prince imperial elocution.
M. Bauer drew large congregations and
on several occasions he occupied the
pulpit of Notre Dame. He accompa-
MED Empress Eugene to Egypt and
delivered a magnificent discourse at
the inaugural ceremony of the Suez
canal. During the war of 1870 NJ
Bauer attended the sick and wounded

SAD FOR sPINDLEsHANKs.
Fashion Set by King Edward Brings
Woe to Gentlemen with
Small Calves.

Now that King Edward has set the
fashion for knee breeches in full dress
affairs, and is being followed by many
of his subjects, it is likely that they
will be received ere long on this side
of the water. They must, of course,
be made of black silk satin, and the eff
fects resulting from such dress will,
to say at least, be somewhat curious,
says the American Wool and Cotton Re
porter Those who favor the innova-
tion will be the well-built, athletic class,
while those who cry out most loudly
against it-that they will not adopt such
a ridiculous fashion - will have, no
doubt, some personal reasons for not
wanting to be seen in knee breeches.
1t will not be the first fashion adopted
that has made men look ridiculous, nor
will it probably be the last King Ed
ward is still the criterion of fashion in
London. There is little question as to
the style there, at least.

A NEW FOOD PLANT.
Curious Growth of Uganda Recently
Discovered by a Coffee
Grower.

There have recently been imported
into England specimens of the ''glycine
subterranea," plant which is in some
respects the most curious in the world,
reports London paper. Mr.. Balland,
who has reported on it. says that its
roots contain every principle necessary
for human food. The plant was dis
covered by coffee grower in Uganda.
Its bulb is shaped like an egg, and is
of dark red hue with black stripes
1t is ground into flour which tastes
like chestnuts. Two pounds of this
flour is sufficient to keep a man for a
day, and will supply the place of bread,
meat, butter and vegetables. Unfor-
tunately, the glycine will not flourish
in cold climates. 1t is, however, to be
introduced in India and Brazil, where
it should prove an enormous addition
to the food plants there available. No
doubt it's finder will make very good
thing OF his discovery.
