MEETING OF
TWO RULERS
NOTHING GIVEN OUT REGARDING
CONFERENCE OF GEAR AND
KAISER.

st. Petersburg, July 26.-The pic
turesque meeting of the Russian and
German emperors in the Gulf of Fin
land ended yesterday afternoon, with
gala luncheon on board the German
imperial yacht Hohenzollern, after
which Emperor William sailed sea-
ward, escorted for a short distance
by the Russian imperial yacht Polar
Star. Then imperial salutes were ex-
changed, and the Polar Star put about
and returned to Peterhof, where she
arrived tonight. A flotilla of torpedo
boats torpedo boat destroyers and
small cruisers lowered about the i'm.
perial yachts from the time they met
until they parted. The marshal of
the court, Count Benckendorff, has
sent the following from the Island
Of Bjoerkee:
"At 10 o'clock in the evening of
July "a the German imperial yacht
Hohenzollern dropped anchor near the
anchorage of the Russian imperial
yacht Polar Star. Emperor. William,
accompanied by Prince Albert, Of
Schleswig-Stein, and his suite was
rOwed to the Polar Star. Emperor
William was received at the head of
the ladder by Emperor Nicholas and
Grand Duke Michael and cordial greet
ings were exchanged. The German
emperor reviewed the guard of hon
or and the yachts crew, and the two
suites were presented, after which
their majesties retired to the salon.
cat II o'clock at night Emperor
Nicholas and Grand Duke Michaelo-
witch accompanied Emperor William
to the Hohenzollern, where they re-
NAMED until 80 in the morning."
Russo.French Alliance.
An afternoon paper quotes signifl-
cant editorial in the semi-official Der.
lin Post, limiting that France has
grown cold toward Russia, that the
Russo-French alliance is on the verge
of dissolution, and that there is in
creasing feeling in Russia in favor of
concluding an alliance with Germany
even at the cost of great sacrifices.
But the idea of Russo-German al
lance is distinctly rejected at the for
eign office. where, however, it is adj
mitted that the officials have no spec
ific information on the subject of the
emperor's meeting, Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff not being consulted and no
representative of the foreign Office
being present. It is known. however,
that a representative of Chancellor
Won Buelow was on board the HOhen-
zOllern.
Count Lamsdorff's spokesman point.
ed out that the monarchs were per-
sonal friends, and that they probably
discussed many subjects, but he ex-
pressed the opinion that the exchange
of views would have more important
bearing on the internal affairs of the
two empires than on their external
relations

SEA SHELLS THAT EXPLODE,
Those Of Marine Snail Surprise ;
Young Woman on the Beach.


Nature has made many kinds of
bombs in the shape of seed pods which
open with great force and project the
contents to considerable distance.
There is a sea shell which explodes
with formidable noise and suggests
a veritable dynamite bomb.
Not long ago young woman wan
dering on the shore of mobile bay
picked up handful of shells left
by the tide. Among them were the
shells of small marine snail, the
largest of which were not more than
half inch in diameter. She dropped
them into her pocket and forgot all
about them, till some days afterwad
she notice an unpleasant odor which
came from her wardrobe.
On taking the shells from her peck
ct one of them dropped to the floor
and exploded with d sharp noise,
loud enough to be heard in an aljoin.
ing room. She tried another, with
the same result. The shells were
then examined by a scientist. who
found the mouth of each firmly in.
closed by a membrane of greater or
less thickness. formed by the drying
of the animals slime.
This had probably occurred soon
after removal from the moisture of
the beach. and, the inhabitants of the
shell dying, the gases of decomposi-
ton had entirely filled the air space
On eXerting little pressure a loud
explosion was produced, the shell frag.
ments flying in all directions. Out of
dozen shells only two failed to ex.
plode. The conditions most success.
full in making the experiment seem
ed to be removal from the beach in
hot. dry weather, which caused the
slime to be exuded in greater guam
titles than usual and dried it up rap
idly.

outer world that now has turned
against him.
Ex-senator Thurston, senior coun.
sci Tor Senator Mitchell, said there
was nothing to say on behalf Of his
clients plans, other than that the case
would be carried to the appellate
tribunal in the regular way. There
are now three bills Of exceptions on
file in the case.
The conviction and sentencing Of
Mr.. Mitchell does not render his Office
vacant. This principle was determin.
ed In the Burton case. If the su-
preme court affirms the judgment Of
the trial court, however, the action
OF the higher court will vacate the
Office. Otherwise the governor of
Oregon will have no power to appoint
successor to Mitchell. An appeal
will be taken shortly, the preliminary
steps having been already taken.

Rosen. The announcement of NJ.

that of any other person could have

OF the future of China, Mr.. Sato
said:
IF the central government could
work in harmony with the district

would become great power. but at
present that seems to be impossible"
Attitude Toward China.
Japan's attitude toward China was
most friendly, said Mr.. Sato. and
while maintaining no moral Monroe
doctrine over the empire. she felt that
1t was more or less under Japans
protection. This protection, by way
of illustration, Mr.. Sato said, was mot
so strong over China as that of the
United States over South America"
Mr.. Sato emphasized the announce
ment, made frequently before, that
Japan does not seek territorial az
grandizement. and on this point the
speaker said
I'VE want in Manchuria equal op-
portunity. or what Mr.. Hay called the
open door.
In response to further questioning,
Mr.. Sato said Japan is over-pOpulated

las to Japan's attitude toward
America Mr.. Sato laughngly asked:
You mean the yellow peril?" and
then became more enthusiastic in his
conversation than upon any previous
topic. He said:

conduct of the American people for

Japan and United States.
The question was put to Mr. Sato
as to any possibility of conflict with
the United States in the future as
suggested by some of the American
press at the outbreak of war. and Mr..
SatO asked what could bring about
such conflict. When it was sug-
geste.l that Japan might covet the
Philippine islands he laughed heartily,
and replied that Japan would not have
the Philippines as gift, even though
bonus accompanied the gift.

The bill of the mosquito is n COM
pick institution. 1t has a blunt fork
at the head and is apparently grooved.
Working through the groove and pro-
jecting from the angle of the fork is a
lance of perfect form sharpened with
a fine bevel. Beside 1t the most per-
feet lance looks like hand saw. On
either side Of the lance two saws are
arranged, with the points fine and
sharp and the teeth well defined and
keen. The backs of these saws play
against the lance. When the mosquito
alights, with its peculiar hum, 1t TRUSTS
its keen lance and then enlarges the
aperture with the two saws, which
play beside the lance until the forked
bill with It's capillary arrangement for
pumping the blood can be inserted.
The saving process is what CRATES
upon the nerves of the victim and
causes him to strike wildly at the
sawyer.

For over thirteen years James Ma

retirement from human society is in
fulfillment of a vow he made after
being Tilted in a love affair. He VOW
ed that he would never look upon the
face of a woman again, and in time
his VOW came to include the face OF
man as well. Mason is now forty
seven years of age, and only three
men, including his brother, have dur
ing his thirteen years seclusion
caught a glimpse of him.
The other day, however, a newspa-

through the hermit's veil of isolation.
The enclosure covers more than an
acre of ground, is surrounded by a
very high and thick hedge, and along
the bottom barbed wire is stretched,
so that 1t is almost impossible for
any one to effect an entrance. On the
outer side of the main fence is a
ditch ten feet deep and twelve feet
wide, the earth being banked up so
as to form a barricade twenty feet
high, and on the top of this another
thick hedge is planted. The work
