Blind Cave-Fiehes.

An interesting addition has recently
been made to the Natural History
Museum, South Kensington, London,
BY the receipt Of specimens Of some Of
the'blind cave-fishes Of Cuba. The
special interest Of these fishes lies
In the fact that their alliance is with
saltwater forms which exist in the
neighboring sea, and not with fresh
water fishes, as is the case with. Am.
blyopsis and It's allies Of the great
cave Of Kentucky. There can be little
doubt that the Cuban cavesHin which
the blind fishes are found were form
erly in communication with the sea,
and that the ancestors Of these fishes
entered the caves from the adjacent

Device for Killing Rabbits.

An Injurious implement for use q
the perpetual warfare which the Aus,
tralians are forced to carry on against
the swarms of rabbits which infest
that country has lately been expert
mented with at Victoria. It consists
Of a cylinder filed with poisonous
liquid, with foot plate attached to it,
which is placed in any thickly infest-
ed spot. AS soon as rabbit presses
the plate it opens valve which sprinp
kles the animal with some of tho
poison. The animal then ticks tho
poison off it's fur, and the farmer d
relieved of one more Of his pests.

Deadiiest Poison Known.

Cyanide Of potassium and hydro.
eyanic or prussic acid are considered
BY most people to be about the most
poisonous Of known substances. This
is an error. They are the most rap
idly acting of all poisons, but not the
most potent. One droo Of pure prus.
sic acid placed in the eye of large
dog will kill it within two seconds
and such a dose will kill a man. But
there is an alkaloid in aconite root,
called pseudaconitine, one three-hun-
dredth part of grain Of which win
kill moderate-sized animal.
This is the deadliest poison known.
being SEQ times as toxic AZ prussia

Historian Thomas q w atson Names
His Candidate For President
Ri Thomas q. WI tson, the historian,
who represented a Georgia district Is
congress, but has retired to private
life, ID an open letter sets forth rea-
sons why, II in public life, he would
support Congressman William Ram
dolph Hearst for the presidency. Mr.
Watson's letter follows: ~ @f:t=. .sss5l
" ''3'Were lin politics should heartily
approve and support the candidacy Of
William R. Hearst because he has for
many years been exerting all the pow
er of his millions and his mental en-
ergies in favor Of the principles Of JET.
fersonian Democracy.
II would support Mr.. Hearst because
he is a young leader inspired by the
old spirit Of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, because he
favors the rights of the many rather
than the greed Of the few, because he
does not represent sectionalism Of any
sort, but stands for the common people
Of the entire republic, would support
him because he is young enough to
cherish a generous enthusiasm Of the
public good at the same time that he
has demonstrated capacity to succeed
In the most trying affairs of practical
life.
II would support him because he
wears no. mans collar and because he
Is not the craven tool of any ring, syn
dicate, corporation, trust or interest.
II would support him because he has
brains enough to realize what this pub.
lie needs and pluck enough to do battle
for his convictions
"A Democrat who knows what De.
mocracy is and is loyal enough to stand
by it in this day of decadence, 1 would
give him the aid of my entire strength,
believing that I would thus be doing
the highest public service"
In commenting on the above utter
ance the Atlanta News says in the
same issue: "The Hon. Thomas E.
Watson is no longer a politician. No
temptation of Office, no plea of the
public, has been sufficient to draw him
from his brilliant and honorable re-
.tirement to engage in the personal am.
billions Of politics. He has made fame.
He has achieved fortune by his brains
and his labor, and he is today by gen.
eral consent looked upon as without
superior among the thinkers and pa.
triots Of the state. But whether in re.
tirement or in active service, Thomas
Watson is still the great tribune of the
common people of Georgia. They trust
him and follow him as they do no 9th.
er man. And Tom Watson, the philos.
opher, the scholar in politics, the pa.
triot in retirement, viewing all meas
ures and all men from the tranquility
Of unself1shness and repose, sends
through the News a message to the
people of Georgia today which rings
like bugle call. It is the voice of the
real tribune Of the people calling the
people to their opportunity.
atom Watson's letter is the most nota
BILE and significant utterance which the
presidential campaign has so far
evoked. It IS the highest possible vim;
dication of the contention Of the News
that Hearst is the man of the people
and the choice of the people. 1t now
remains to see that the people have
their CHOICE

anything except to eat until they
finished 1t, which was some time
before daylight Tuesday morning.
The buttermaker is mere and will
proceed to set the machinery in place
as soon as the floor is ready to work
on.
A. Smith of Parker has the contract
to put down the we'll for the cream
cry. They are down % feet now and
no water, yet it has been an all a
round disappointment about the well.
erybody thought and said they
would never have to go % feet for
water, but that depth is reached and
no water. 1t was also thought that it
would be soft digging and perhaps
sand, but it has been unusually hard
digging all the way, and some places
80 hard that it could hardly be
picked,

bank and lying close within the estu-
airy Of the river, is the port of Tatung-
kao, where, when the weather permits,
cargoes for Antung are sometimes dis
charged. Tatungkao, however, is diff
cult to approach, and, as a general
rule, steamers unload and receive their
cargoes at Antung, port Of great
promise in the near future.
The estuary Of the Yalu river is
broad, but the anchorage Of Tatung:
kao is exposed to the northeast winds,
which at times blow with great force.
The stream has a rapid current and,
owing to the presence Of innumerable
shoals and sand banks, presents seri-
GUS obstacles to successful navigation.
Islands, both small and large, appear
In its course, and high hills, covered
with bush and timber, break away
from the banks.
Until lately the region of the Yalu
was almost an unknown land, but
with the advent Of the Russians many
changes in the character of the district
have taken place. On the Korean
shore lumber camps have been formed,
while at Tatungkao and Antung pros
porous native settlements have sprung
into existence. The river teens with
native craft, which ply between the
mouth and the higher reaches, while.
logs Of lumber, chained the one to the
other, hoat leisurely down the stream.

Iron Making In Early History.

Iron was used before history was
written. The stone records Of Egypt
and the brick books Of Nineveh men
ton it. Genesis (x, 22) refers to Tu-
balcain as ''as Instructor of every ar
tifcer in brass and iron," and in Deu-
teronomy Gii, ~ the bedstead Of the
giant Og was ga bedstead Of iron"
The galleys of Tyre and Sidon traded
In this metal. Chinese records ascrib-
ed to 1000 B. G: refer to it. Horace
speaks of it as superior to bronze. The
bronze age came before the iron age
because copper, found as nearly pure
metal, easily fuses, and with another
soft metal-tin or zinc-alloys into
hard bronze, while iron, found only as
an ore, must have the impurities burn
ed and hammered out by great heat
and force before it can be made into a
tool
