ELECTRIC BATH FOR CATTLE.

Since the discovery that the terrible
''foot and mouth disease has begun
its ravages among the cattle of the
New England States every means has
been utilized to stamp out the plague
and prevent it from spreading to other
herds, the State and National Depart
ments of Agriculture cooperating with
the farmers to this end. 1t is not inn
probable that the apparatus here illus
trated and recently patented may be
of considerable value in this work,
having been designed especially for the
purpose Of freeing animals of parasites.
AS will be seen, the idea is to immense
the animal in bath. thus subjecting
whatever parasitic growths may have
found Judgment to the action of the
liquid. This of itself would destroy
many Of the germs, but the inventor
goes further in his work and applies
the current Of electricity to complete
the treatment by destroying any para
sites which have survived the bath.

ROJESTVENSKY REPORTED.
Russian Admiral and Fleet Sighted
at Cape AyereIIa.
TOXIC IS NOT DISTURBED

Japanese Capital Less Anxious About
Their warships Than Other Foreign
Cities Have Been-Not Believed That
Czar's Naval Commander Would
Fight-Togo Prepared.
Toxic, Japan There has been less
excitement in this city about the Rus
sian feet than there has been in Paris
and in London, judging from the dis
patches which come here from those
cities Competent members of the
Naval staff, including at least one adj
miral. have been rather skeptical that
Rojestvensky would attempt to make
the Sea of Japan and fight the Japan
csc feet. They pointed out that he
had been some weeks in the China Sea,
using up both coal and provisions and
making practically no progress toward
his alleged objective point. Every
day that he remained in the water re-
duced the speed of his ships, and hence
their fighting power when in action. 1t
was not regarded as probable that he
believed for one moment the Japanese
navy would go 5000 miles out of its
way to meet him in the south China
Sea, and so the belief has been gain
ing ground here that the commander
of the Baltic Squadron has Imperative
orders from st. Petersburg not to sail
north of the Paracels Islands pending
certain negotiations for peace which
undoubtedly were being considered in
more than one European capital.
The naval chiefs did not believe that
he was waiting for Nebogatoff's ships.
Three of the five are ironclads, meant
only for coast defense, with a speed
of less than ten miles an hour under
pressure. The only two serviceable
fighting vessels are a battleship and
cruiser, and their value, while of some
weight on paper gained from their re-
cords when built, is yet to be deter
mined on the sea. 1t was pointed out
that Rojestvensky could not attempt
to sail into another French port in
Cochin China that he was fully pro-
yisioned in coal and supplies for a
journey to Vladivostok, and that his
only object in delay was to keep away
from Admiral Togo's fleet pending pos
sible peace.

The liquid preferably used is a weak
solution of acetic acid. as this will add
to the conductivity of the bath, so
that a weak current or one of low
voltage may be sufficient to kill the
germs without injury to the ANIMAL
In applying the treatment the animal
is first driven into the bath, in which
one pole of the battery is placed. AZ
metallic yoke or fork is then placed
over the neck, with wire leading
from the end Of the fork back to the
battery to receive the return current,
the animals head being forced under
the surface Of the liquid for an instant
to allow the current to act on all parts
of the skin.

Kalnamura to Strike.

1t was regarded as certain here that
he would be heard from in another
neutral port. and probably in one
which had no fleet that could enforce
neutrality. The Imperial Navy De-
partment undoubtedly has had good
line on his movements, but declined
to make them public. He could call
at the Portuguese port of Macao,
northeast of the Island of Hainan. He
could remain in Yaichow or in Leon
gsoy Bay in Hainan, or he could by
retracing his steps, make port in
Dutch Borneo. If his intention was to
get the Japanese feet into the south
China Sea, undoubtedly he would be
disappointed least in respect of the
battleship squadron. But there was no
doubt whatever that certain cruisers
and torpedo boat destroyers under
command of Kamamura were some
where between the Philippines Islands
and the coast of Cochin-China ready
to strike Rojestvensky when the prop
er moment arrived.
The reticence of the Imperial Navy
Board continues, but nevertheless the.
opinion was practically official that the
moment Rojestvensky's fleet sailed
northeast of the Paracles Islands it
would be attacked night and day on
its journey to the Formosa Straits All
the news here from authentic sources
has been to the effect that the Russian
commander had kept his fleet intact.
All his battleships and cruisers have
an outguard of torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyers, and no op.
portunity has been offered to infiict
serious damage on the ships.

TEST OF WATER RIGHTS.
Clash With HON mestead Entries West
Of the Missouri.

Clash With Homestead Entries West
Of the Missouri.
During the last two years a large
number Of what are known as water
rights have been filed in the country
west Of the Missouri river These
filings are under the provisions of a
law which requires storage of water
to certain amount each year, but
which water must be open to public
use. Those who have made such fill
ings will probably be called upon to
defend their rights to the tracts. as
claimants are demanding the right to
place homestead filings on the same
tracts
AS the water rights are only in the
way Of declaratory statements, and
the title does not pass from the gov
ernment only being vested in the
claimant SO long as he complies with
the law in regard to water storage,
the test case which has been brought
in Lyman county will be watched with
a great deal OF interest.
The authorities have as yet been
unable to solve the mystery surround
ing the tragic death of an Indian
named William Bean, Jr., at the great
convocation of Episcopal Indians, just
held at White Swan. Bean, who was
about twenty, left his tent with a shot
gun. In a short time report was
heard, and when the young Indian was
found it was discovered he had been
shot in the region of the heart. In a
conscious interval he said he saw an
Indian coming towards him from some
bushes near his tent, and that without
word the strange Indian shot at him
and then took to his heels.

CHAPTER XIV.

AS | said in the foregoing chapter.
the days Immediately following the
death of the prefetto and the Count di
Pordino were exciting ones.
A new prefetto was appointed by
the king, and he proved to be a gen.
erous and intellectual man, at whose
hands We received the kindest treat
ment.
The villa Of Maligni remained in his
family, and the new prefetto resided
at the prefettura in the old castle in
Cagliari. with his wife, a charming
woman, and his daughters, accom-
plished young ladies about the age of
Nta.
Here Nita remained as his guest
during the remainder Of our stay in
Sardinia, while Mutterell and l took
up our abode at the splendid but neg
lected Villa di Thorlano, as the guest
of Thorlane.
Under the new prefetto all my be-
longings were restored to me, and |
was once more in possession of the
letter of Antonio Sigmotta, and the
locket and pin that had belonged to
the infant Alice Graviscourt.
The Importance of these was greatly
augmented by another document
which contained the statement OF
Dambo, duly attested by the new pre-
fetto, and the import of which will be
duly disclosed.
l made Nita Barlotti fully acquaint.
ed with the significance Of these
things; and our impatlence to be Oh
to America to finish our work was
generously met by the new prefetto
who aided us in every way, and final
ly saw us depart from Cagliari with
many expression of regret.
Thorlane wished to have the mar
before leaving, but she archly bade
him be patient, for there was plenty
Of time; and she preferred to know
the truth concerning herself before
she became his wife.
To our united voices, Thorlane
laughingly yielded and placing his
estate in competent hands, to be cared
for until his return for final adjust
ment, he announced himself as ready
to start.
So We took a steamer to Genoa
where made good my promises to the
faithful Mutterelli, and placed to his
account fifty thousand lire, equal te
about ten thousand dollars.
(To be continued.)
