A WARNING INSTRUMENT.
It Registers the Slightest Move.

Duomo.

The fall of the Campantle of Venice
those who have the care of the old
buildings of Italy, and it was specially
felt in Milan. The authorities, to re-
assure the Milanese about the Duomo,
at once had an instrument fitted up
which registers the slightest move
ment The mechanism is one of the
most delicate imaginable, and most
wonderful 1t shows oscillations pro-
duced by the Winds, and the most imper-
ceptible inclinations in the pinnacleS. 1t
is hung in the highest pinnacle, and may
be called the pedulum register. In itself
thus obviating movements of it's own,
and is nearly 60 feet long, but at the
same time is, as Indicated, very sensi-
tive. At once, when put in position, il
showed the periodical movements of the
whole cathedral through the action of
the sun on the stone. Who would have
believed that this were possible, but it
is! While. strangely enough such be-
ing the fact, it is also shown that.
through the special way in which it is
constructed, the chief pinnacle resists the
action of the wind better than an ordi-
nary tower.
Special care has been taken that the
point of suspension of the instrument
shall not vary with the years Thus
Milan feels safe Her great church can
not fall without fair warning.

UNITED STATES AND GUAM
Conditions in the Island at Present
Leave Much to Be
Hoped For.

Secretary Morton, whose province it
is to foster the prosperity and happiness
of Guam, informs the country that con-
ditions there leave much to be desired,
and that We cannot escape the blame.
The fact is that congress has neglected
Guam, but that is partly due to public
forgetfulness, says the New York Trib
une. Whereas formerly the Spanish
government betrayed four-fifths of the
cost of the local administration, the peo-
pie now have to bear all the burden them
selves, and are consequently overtaXed.
There used to be line of steamers run
ming twice a month to and from Manila
but at present the inhabitants have to
rely on the irregular and exorbitant
services of Japanese sailing vessels for
the shipment of their cOpra, coffee and
cocoa. There are not schools enough and
the children have scant opportunities
TO acquire knowledge of the noble Eng
lish tongue. The judicial system is I'M
satisfactory and perhaps oppressive.
owing to the fact that no right of appeal
exists. The people are docile, and might
become thrifty if they had a fair chance,
The resources of the island are not to
be despised, but there Is no Involvement
to develop them. In short, the institu-
tons which we vouchsafe do not suit
the requirements of the case and ought
to be overhauled. 1t will be pity and a
discredit to the United States if some
thing more and better is not done for
Guam

TEA DRINKING TREMENS.
Shattered Nerves Resulting from
Over-Indulgence in the
Beverage,

Tea tremenS is recognized disease In
China. Its victims are the tea tasters
the judges of the Chinese teas. These
men never swallow drop of tea, but
nevertheless they become afflicted with
a malady as distressing as insomnia.
"Tea tremens," said dealer, els, in
a. word, shattered nerves. The victim
of tea tremens can't sleep, can't eat,
can't sit still. Furthermore, he is un-
happy-as unhappy as man who was
drunk the night beforehand his mind
fingers on the thought of suicide.
"Tea tasters of China are English
men. Their employers are Russians
Russia is the great tea-drinking coun-
try, and it is to Russia that the best
tea goes. Some of this Russian tea is
worth $40 to SIP a pound. The Rus
sian tea firms employ English tasters,
because tasting is an art that requires
great abstemiousness; alcohol must not
be touched, and only the simplest foods
may be taken. The Russian is any
thing but abstemious. He Is g. great
eater and drinker, and the largest sal
airy would not tempt him away from
the festive board. Hence his tea tasters
are all temperate Englishmen.
"In tasting tea you don't swallow:
you only roll upon your tongue the
liquor. Nevertheless you get tea ire
mems. The powerful aroma of the
herb, after a month or so of tasting.
wrecks your nerves, and first you have
headache and then insomnia attacks
you.
But the disease is durable. Tea
tasters, after vacation of a week or
two, are as well as ever again. 1t is a
good thing for them that their calling
only has to be piled few months in
the spring 1t would inevitably kill
them otherwise"

AWFUL DOSE CURES SULTAN
Directions of American Surgeon Mis-
understood by Mindanao
Ruler

This actually happened in Mindanao
The story was told me by the army sur
geon himself, relates the Brooklyn
Eagle
He was seated in his tent one morning
when a number of the followers OF the
sultan of Pantar came hurrylng to him,
saying the sultan was dying OF cholera.
Aided by the slight knowledge he then
had of their language, the surgeon dag
nosed the case from their reports as
well-nigh hopeless one. Still, anxious
to show the skill and frien0llness OF the
American for the Moro brother, he
hastily made up six powders, each con-
tanning one-sixth of grain OF NOR
phine and 80 grains of bismuth. These
he gave to the emissaries, telling them
to give the sultan one of them in glass
of boiled water every three hours and
to report to him next morning how the
patient was getting along.
The next morning the surgeon was
more than surprised to see the sultan
himself walk into the tent. Wan and
weak as he was, he had come some
eight miles to thank the surgeon per-
sonally for having saved his life, and
had brought with him one Of his sub
jects who spoke Spanish well enough
to serve as an interpreter.
1t was through this Interpreter that
the surgeon learned how his directions
had been followed First, they had
given the entire six powders to the sui
tan at one dose-a full grain of NOR
phine and 100 grains of bismuth-and
then had poured a tumblerful Of boiling
water into him every three hours after
ward, scalding his mouth and throat so
that he could hardly speak.
But it cured him, and the surgeon says
the same treatment cured many another
Moro who would probably have died IN
der lesser doses.

THE MODERN TAXIDERMlST
Must Be Possessed of All the Wood
craft of Trained Hunter and
Experienced Naturalist.

To understand the work of the modern
taxidermist, it is best to accompany him
On hunting trip in search of material;
TOR, like the sculptor and the painter,
he animal modeler, as this expert also
calls himself, studies his subjects in
their wild and natural state Aside from
being a sculptor and an artist with both
pencil and camera, he is possessed of all
the woodcraft of a trained hunter and
an experienced naturalist, says Grandon
Nevins, in Pearson's Magazine. He
must know when and where to find his
game; now TO steal upon the willy quarry,
not merely within gunshot, but within
tne range OF his lens He must be pre-
pared to tramp miles through wilderness
on the trail of startled herd. Like the
pig game hunter, hunger, thirst and ex-
naustion are his at the end of days
work, and not infreqUently months pass
before he has succeeded in sketching or
IN Swapping" his subjects in sufficiently
picturesque poses to guide him in his fu-
ture work
The task of taking these pictures, how
ever, is mere incident compared with
other field work in which often. the ex-
pert spends as many months as ii takes
MN to complete the long, interesting
process OF mounting his group. Rarely
1t happens that the peaceful hunter can
snap herd on sufficiently striking
landscape, and to find this latter
requisite itself involves a hunt. Once
found, the real work begins, for, as it
were, the entire scene must be dissected.
Each rock is photographed from sew
eral different view points, measurements
are taken and noted, and samples of the
ocal rocks are taken to enable accurate
Imitation of the cOloring and the grain.
In some cases, rocks are transported
bodily, as are also, size and weight per-
hitting, saplings and tree trunks. Notes
and measurements, and photographs of
leaves and grass and shrubs and berries,
are made individually and collectively,
and many of the original specimens are
gathered and shipped direct to head
quarters. Molds are made of leaves and
fruits and fiowers-as many as 80 molds
OF the same kinds of leaf, in order to
secure diversity of form and outline. On
each leaf, plaster of Paris is poured just
as it is about to harden, and then each
mold is carefully packed and prepared
Tor transportation out of the wilderness.
In the case of bird rock group, plaster
molds were taken even of half-eaten
fishes, while the original, delicate, half
broken egg shells were gathered, to-
gether with the legs and feet of a num-
Der of various sized birds, to be used in
forging impressions of bird tracks on
the white yielding sand.
In the case of a single moose group
shown in the American Museum of Nat
ural History, in New York, six months
were required for this preliminary field
work. and the hoofs of a score of car
casses were removed, simply to insure
variety in the tracks on the trail of the
game as mounted.

OYSTERS ON PACIFIC COAST
Culture of the Succulent Shellfish in
Several Bays Carried On
Successfully.

It is a boast of the people of the Pa
riic coast states that somewhere in
their specially favored section of Gods
green earth they can raise anything
that is produced anywhere else in the
world. There may be exceptions, says
HE Pacific Monthly, but the oyster is
not one Of them. If the average inhab-
liant of the east or middle west were
to be approached with the query, do
oysters grow in the Pacific ocean? the
answer would probably be no. Indeed,
very few Of the Californians, Oregon
ians and Neutrality-suspicious. themselves
realize to what an extent the oyster
raising industry is being carried on.
Among the leading points where the
oyster is being grown the bays about
san Francisco. Yaquina and Netarts in
Oregon, Shoalwater and Olympia in
Washington must be noted.
Probably the earliest oystering on
this coast was done at San Francisco
away before the days of the '49ers. In
1851 six men from San Francisco char
tered the schooner Robert Bruce and
set sail for Shoalwater bay. Wash,
some 20 miles above the mouth of the
mighty Columbia. They were con-
WINGED from Indian reports and other
wise that oysters were abundant there.
and this they found to be true.
Coming to anchor on the north shore
Of the bay, at point later called
Bridgeport they began to lay plans to
tong a shipload of the bays best
but the ships cook fell out with the
company and in an evil hour set the
schooner afire that he might work his
spite upon Capt Ludlow and his crew
Among the men that came on the
Bruce, John S. Morgan has been most
successful. For years he lived in the
old village of Oysterville. across the
beautiful bay where he saw his first
venture go up in smoke. San Francis
co now numbers him among her many
millionaires

One of Our Eas tern Possessions

Next to Manila in population and
commercial Importance is Cebu, the cap
ital of the island of Cebu, and lying 400
miles south of Manila. Sailing into the
harbor on bright morning, one easily
sees through the clear water, at a depth
of so 10 100 feet, the coral formation at
The bottom in its natural growth,
spreading out like the branches of trees.
The city of Cebu is one of the Oldest
places settled by the Spanish in the Phil
ippines. 1t was founded in 1870 by
Legaspi, who founded Manila the next
year. To the east Of Cebu lies the island
of Matan, where Magellan was killed

SoanStone Eibers.

The discovery few years ago by
Prof Boys that fused quartz can be
drawn into exceedingly fine fibers, which
are superior to all others for many
laboratory purposes, has been followed
by Prof Shenstone with similar expert
ments with soapstone. When highly
heated, soapstone melts into a clear
glass, which can be drawn into fine
hbers, possessing all the qualities of
elasticity and resistance to chemical re-
agents that characterize quartz fibers.
