PROFESSOR Wiley, chiefof the Bureau
of Chemistry of the Department OF
Agriculture, who strongly combats the
theory of Professor Osler regarding the
uselessness of old men, and who main
tains that science is extending the span
Of life, makes the comforting declara-
ton in discussing the aims and purposes
of himself and other scientists in their
efforts to extend the laws OF health to
the whole human race that man
should be young at 20. He says
"The time is rapidly approaching
when no man should die from disease,
and few men should die from accidents =
when men will die simply because they
wear out, and the process of wearing
out will be much slower than 1t mas
been because they will know better how
20 take care of themselves and will be
freed from the ravages OF disease
Prof Wiley's ideas are much more
popular than are thoIe OF DR., Osler.

Animals Fight at sea.

Several leopards, maddened by a
storm, attacked an elephant on the steam
er Neidenfels on its voyage from the far
East to New York and one Of the Loop
ards had to be killed to end the fighting.
The elephant died of its wounds shortly
after the attack, aud yesterday its oil
spring, said to be the smallest elephant
ever imported, arrived in New York or
the North German Lloyd steamer Gneise-
nau. The Neidenfes was in the Indian
Ocean when the fight took place. Dur
ing a gale three leopards broke out Of
their cages and attempted to take away
from the mother elephant some carrots
which she was eating. The elephant
landed her trunk on the head of one Of
the leopards, and a moment later the
others sprang at her from the rear. A
chorus OF howls aroused the officers on
deck. The animal keepers drove two of
the leopards back to their cages, but the
third leopard tore the back OF the cle-
plant, upon which it had sprung, and
was dubbed to death in the hope of saw
ing the elephant. The midget elephant,
whose mother was killed, is only three
and a half feet high, although a little
over 2 wears old.

Buda- Pestb, March 3I.-Itis anuoun-
ced that an agreement has been reached
between Emperor Franz Joseph and the
Hungarian majority in Parliament, and

tary and naval affairs have been removed.

two years aud at times the relations be-
came strained to the point where it was

disrupt the union. During the two
years that the quarrel has been in pro-
gress, the majority has refused to con-
tribute The sums demanded as Hungary's
proportion of expenses, and thus the
naval and military works have been
greatly DELAYED.
