wolves and rabbits were SO crowded

SPECIMENS FROM HONDURAS.
Interesting Botanical Collection Made
for the New Y ,rk Gardens.

Garden, has just completed his Of

in Honduras, whrgc he spent three
months and collected a large num-
Der of interesting botanical spcci-
mems.
Mr.. Wilson wen. to Honduras as
the guest of Martin Lippmann, who
has obtained a tact of nearly 700
acres along the Ito Esperanto, a
small stream west of Puerto Sierra,
in the northeastern portion Of the re-
public.
Mr.. Wilson learned that the plant
ers are experimenting with a vine re-
Gently discovered in the valleys Of
the PHO mountains which is said to
yield a superior quality of rubber. It
is credited with all the virtues Of
outstanding transplanting, heat,
and unnatural surroundings, which
happen to be lacking in the Castilloa
elastica, the familiar and well-known
source Of rubber supply. 1t is said
to attain a length of 100 feet, with
trunk eight inches in diameter.
Among the forest trees examined
by Mr.. Wilson is a large variety Of
cacao from which chocolate is OBJ
tanned. This species attains a height
Of 80 feet, and bears its fruits near
the summit in considerable profu-
sion. These fruits are yellow pods
containing numerous seeds, which is
the basis of the chocolate of COM
merce. These seeds arc surrounded
by an acrid pulp.
The cohunc palm (attalea cohune)
is found frequently both in the open
field and in the forest. 1t is largely
utilized in house building, and a sin
gle leaf furnishes a sail for the native
boat. The fruit is abundant and de-
velops in large clusters, the inGivid-
ual fruit being the size OF a hens
egg. The kernel has much the flavor
CT the c%ocoanut.
The trunk is abunGantiv supplied
with watery fluid which the natives
esteem as a drink. To obtain it it is
necessary to cut down the tree.

THE ORGANIZED MILITIA.
Preliminary Arrangements For Aiming
1t With Krag-Jorgensen Muskets.

Washington, March 4.-Gen. Gro
zier, chief of ordnance. has made pre-
liminary arrangements for arming the
entire organized militia of the United
States with the Krag-Jorgensen mus
ket of the regular service, in accord
ance with the provisions of the new
militia law He already has collected
about $4,000 of these arms at the gov.
eminent arsenals at Augusta, Ca.
Benecia, Cal, Rock Island. H., and
San Antonio. Tex, and more will be
shipped to the seapOints from the ar
mOry at Springfield, Mass, as needed.
Nearly $4,000 Krag-Jorgensens have
been sent to the arsenal at Rock Is
land, larger number than was sent
to any other point, Rock Island being
the central distributing point for al
most the entire middle west These
arms will replace the Springfield mus
kets which are to be returned to the
government.
According to the latest returns re-
ceived by Adjt. Gen. Corbin, the or
gained strength of the militia is 49,
749, but the impression prevails at the
war department that the $4,000 Krag-
Jorgensens already collected at the
arsenal named will be- sufficient to
meet all demands for several months

the aged pontiff.

were illuminated in cOmmemOration
of the event, the trastevere quarter
and the Leonine city especially pre-

city. Pope Leo, who supported adj

Wednesday evening, and declare that
Pope Leo is really i'll. They point to
the official note in Wednesday nights

doctor the pope has decided to take
several days of absolute rest. The
truth is that the pope never succeed

caused slight cough and hoarseness.
Dr. Lapponi, on visiting his holiness
Wednesday, found that he was some

he must either consent to cure his

gave way and promised to suspend his

Lapponi advised the pope to publicly
