Two professors of Jena university

have discovered new method OF mil
croscopic preservation. whereby ul-
tramiscroscopic particles are not
only made visible, but can also be
studied with . full view Of determin-

recently published by the inventors
in the German scientific journal An

The method consists mainly in a

FEEDING FOR COLOR.
It Can BE Done at Small Expense and
Without Injuring the Health
of the Chickens.

Assuming that the chickens which It
is intended to feed for color are the
product of well-colored stock birds,
there is no reason why their color
should not be intensified by direct feed
ing as canaries are fed; but this must
be done more with a view to supple
menting the tendency to sound color,
than to altering it materially. It IS not
much use attempting to color feed an
adult bird-the. experiment must be
tried upon chickens, and they must be
color fed from the shell. The proper
principle to follow is to supply lit
tie color food regularly small guam
tity given in systematic way, but not
spasmodfc dosing on large scale If
the birds be accustomed to it from
Matching time upwards, and then when
passing through their first or chicken
moult they be given a rather more lib
eral supply. that is all that can be done.
After the moult the color, Of course,
will be determined, and one cannot alter
the color of feathers which have al
ready developed-one can only do that
during the process Of development,
When the moult is finished, therefore,
and the color is fixed for the time being.
the color food may be almost entirely
discontinued; but 1t should not be al
together given up, because fowls are
constantly losing feathers. and If the
effect of this feather food upon the
system be not maintained, by constant
~ giving small doses of it, there is a
possibility that any feathers which may
be lost will be replaced by those Of
different color. The effect of the color
food, therefore, must not be allowed
to entirely lapse from the blood. The
expense of keeping up color feeding
on q limited scale like this is not great,
and so it is within reason to do So

VISIT, roMBs OF ANcEs TORS.
Ancient Religious Ceremonial An-
nunlly Observed by the
Chinese Court.

The Chinese court started recently
for the western tombs of the royal
house of China. There was an im-
mensee amount of ceremony observed
in relation 10 the visit and no less than
400 railway cars were requisitioned to
convey thesroyal pair, their courtiers
and baggage on their journey.
One afternoon a representative Of
the Londop Daily News waited upon
an influential Chinaman resident in
London tosglean all the particulars
possible in. relation to the ceremony.
1t is purely a religious ceremonial"
remarked The official. "There will be
no junketirg, no feasting. Everything
will be CARRIED out in the most solemn
manner. One object of the visit to.
the tombs IS to impress upon the minds
of the visitors is that sooner or later
all men, nc matter how great their po-
sition, must go to the grave. Another
is that the, dead may live in the memo
ries of their descendants from genera
tion to generation and their virtues
be perpeuSted. By such ceremonies
the Chinese people believe that they
offer an Incentive to men to live good
lives, so that their children and chill
dren's children may take pride in
their tombs.
.'It is rot continued the Chinese
gentleman, absolutely necessary that,
the emperor or empress should visit
the tomb every year, but when the
crowned heads cannot make the jour
ney they must send as their representa-
tive the rsext heir to the throne, the
nearest Of kin. Should they omit do
ing this the Chinese race would con-
slider that an objectionable insult had
been Offered to the il1ustrious dead,
which would be productive Of the
gravest results. both politically and
socially. The tomb which is the OBJ
iective of the present visit Hes some
distance west Of the city
of Peking, and can now be reached or
nearly rehched by rail.
I'm days not SO very remote the pill
grimages, were made either in carts
or in paIaquins, the common people
going on foot. During the time the
pilgrims were passing through any VIII
lage or town all labor ceased until the
cortege lad got well upon its way;
even the laborers working in the fields
stopped work as q sign Of sympathy
and respect for those who were show
ing honor to their dead. In those
times the Chinese royal pilgrimage
was most interesting and picturesque
function. Even now. when the west
ern method of travel has robbed the
journey Of much of its quaint cere-
it is an imposing sight, and
one which Europeans are not well
coined td witness.

ready been discovered, she wondered.
There was no doubt in her mind as to
the measures he would take when he
found she would not return home
with him. To Miguel the honor of
his house was dearer than anything
in the world. He would not scruple
to kill Gringo to preserve his family
escutcheon from a blot. And well
his sister knew that when his pride
and anger met, there would be no
quarter.
With this thought the little vendor
shrank deeper into the shadow.
When her flight was discovered there
would be only one explanation of it.
The whole city would be aroused in
an instant, and their escape made inn
possible. Randol, in his straightfor-
wardness and sef-confidence, could
not be made to realize their danger.
But as the little peon vendor stood
alone and unbefricnded in this great
city, she felt the force of her help
lessness against her brothers power.
And her lover! As she looked at
him she felt the danger she had
brought upon him with a new poign-
ancy. Why should she let him risk
his life for her?
Randol, meanwhile, stalked up and
down in front of the stall, growing
restless and impatient. Suddenly, as
if drawn by the intensity of her long
ing, he turned and walked straight
toward her: With an instructive cry
of joy she turned to spring toward
him. But the next instant the cry
was stifed. Instead, she f1attcned
herself against the wall and held her
breath. The white cross she had
pinned upon her shoulder in such
ecstacy was turned to the shadow
ant. her rebozo drawn close about
her face.
Straight on he came. Crouching
against the wall, she waited. He
brushed so near she almost felt his
breath upon her cheek. She clasped
her hands tight over her heart and
dug her nails so deep into her palms
the blood came to the surface in
tiny crescent-shaped gashes. But she
made NO sound.

THE KING ANTITRUST BILL

1 Z hl-FO ~ 4 II C1 DILL
Protests are being sent in tn
members Of the general assembly
from most all parts of the state
against the passage OF Selaror
Kings antitrust bill. These pro-
tests are being made by the 0usi-
/ ness men Of the state, who argue
that the provisions Of the bill are
too drastic, and that should such
law be enacted, much damage
would result to the state. Sena-
tor King had the following TO say
TO q Gazette reporter concerning
/ the measure and it's critics:
eyes, am informed that the
opponents Of my anti-trust bill
are protesting quite vigorously
against its passage, and are pre-
dieting all kinds Of dire distress
I in case OF it's becoming q law.
l think they are unduly a.armed.
/ 1t is true that the measure is
drastic, but there was never a re-
| form measure that did not meet
with opposition from those whose
opportunities to prey upon the
public were curtaiIed. In push
/ ing this bill am simply carrying
out the mandate Of my party as
expressed on every stump in the
state in the last campaign, and
upon which platform Gov, Davis
received nearly 80 per cent of the
votes cast. This great calamity
howl is coming up from the in
surance interests, and they are
trying to influence the senate 10

1t is the primary object of this
, bill to carry into effect the mar
date of the people, and it remains
( to be seen whether or not the
people are going to win in the
"show- down." or the trusts.
am for this measure, first because
| it is right, and second, because
it is demanded by the people. II
/ is rather a safe idea to stay with
the people, for if they get wrong
they will correct whatever evil
they have caused. But if the
representatives sit down and wait
for the trusts to right the wrong
they have caused, they will wait
until doomsday."
