Mason Mitchell. retiring consul at
Zanzibar, is likely to become involved
in trouble with the State Department
because he accepted a decoration from
the Sultan Of that small monarchy
before departing for the United States.
Mitchell, who may have been unusu
ally diplomatic in his transactions
with the Sultan, showed an entire lack
of diplomacy in this matter. Instead
of accepting the decoration, putting
1t in his pocket and keeping it quiet
he wrote a long letter to a New Yorl
newspaper. announcing that Ali Ber
Hamoud, the Zanzibarian ruler, hat
conferred upon him the decoration o.
the Order of the Brilliant Star, IL
recognition of his services during
three years of consularship. This Is
directly in violation of a clause in
the Constitution, and while Mitchell
may not have known the fact, he is
nevertheless, likely to be brought
upon the carpet when he reache.

unique experience. He was a mem

tween acting as a manager of vaude

which yesterdays figures were COM
puted, This would seem pretty lively

The previous gInners report showed
7,467,0 900 bales, to be compared with

Some Wonderful Figures.

Figures on the light and heat of the
sun are the most startling that can
possibly be presented. The astrono-
mers measure the amount of heat and
light emitted by the sun by estimat-
ing that the earth intercepts about the
two billion three hundred millionth
part of it. Thus it is found that in
every second of time the sun emits as
much heat as would result from the
sudden combustion of 100000 00,-
900 tons of pure coal. 1t may be inter-
esting to the reader to know that each
portion of the suns surface as large
as this earth emits as much heat per
second as would result from the COM
bustion of 1,OOOO 100000 tons of the best
anthracite fuel.
