Consul Murphy reports from Bor- deauk experiments on the great pub lie square. the Quinc0nces where it is to be held from May to October next the International Maritime exposition is commenoration of the hundredth anniversary of Fulton's successful ap- plication of steam to navigation.
 Warned by the great damage caused by the recent fire at the Milan exposition, in which valuable paint ings. tapestries and other works of art were destroyed. the deputy com missioner-general devoted much of his time to the study and investiga- tion of the different methods of ren- dering wood. paper, silk, cotton and woolen stuffs non-inflammable. Of all the fornulae submitted he decided to experiment with the following: Sulphate of ammonia. 1855 grams: borate of soda, 15 grams; boric acid. : grams, and water. 1000 grams. The exhibition consisted of treating pine shavings, wood, paper and cot ton fiber with this preparation and, after . thorough drying, applying the fire test.
 A huge pile of shavings, pine kin dlings and wood was set on fire, and in the blaze were thrown shavings and sticks of wood impregnated with

this 'fgnifuge." When the Ars had exhausted itself the impragnated shavtngs and wood were found to be simply blackensd and charred; they gave out no dame. Paper and coNton Ire treated with the same solution when exposed to the flames consumed very slowly without . blaze. So suc- cessful and conclusive seemed the demonstration that MT Moriot gave orders that all wood and timber used in the construction of the exposition buildings and all cotton. canvas and linen stuifs, carpets and rugs sm- ployed in the furnishing thereof should be treated with this 'igni- fugs."
 l was present at the exhibition and afterward witnessed the application of the liquid to some heavy timbers which were quickly and effectively treated by the workmen, who direct ed streams of the preparation from receptacles strapped to their backs in the manner of an American fire ex- tinguisher. In addition to the pre- cautionary measures adopted the fire department will have all the exposi- tion buildings under close and con- stant inspection. The buildings now being constructed are on the river front, so that abundant supplies of water will always be available.- Daily Consular and Trade Reports.

 Henry Mitchell of Boston has been 1 for forty years maker of the dies for

 The incoming legislature has an
 opportunity to hew out an enduring
 name in history by making operative an election system in which the vot- ing machine will be another ally in the purification of politics. It is con- ceded that the next general assembly
 has number of legislators whose character is above reproach. The best
 proof they can give the state that they are men of civic integrity is the enactment of remedial legislation which will drive to the ditch the fioaters, and wretched ward workers. But without a perQuisite, what of the voters who are paid to stay at homo on election day?-Catholic Tran script.

Now that the election is over. and very decided republican majority assured. the politicians are turning their attention to figuring out in ad- vance what the sixtieth congress will do when 1t gets into business. Tho republican . majority looks large enough for all practical purposes, party and legislative. but the trouble will be to keep the majority members in line. During the last session on several occasions quite 8 number kicked over the traces. and once or twice it looked for a time as if the speaker would be downed in some of his attempts to rule legislation &C., cording to his own sweet will. The great majority of his party, however. enabled him to hold enough in check to carry out his purposes, but now the majority has been reduced he will have harder sledding should any great differences arise. There are always number of absentees. and it may happen that time will come when enough recalcitrants will join hands with the democrats to defeat some pet object of the speaker.

Attention has just besn called to the fact by Major H. T. Aldrieh, a nephew of the late General Shafter. who was for a long time stationed in the Philippines. He says that Japa- nese spies have made comprehensive maps of the Island of Palolas, and that Japanese ofiicers have boasted to him that their maps of northern Luson from the upper point of the island clear to Manila were better than those of the American govern ment itself. Captain Aldrich points out that the nearest point in Luzon is less than 200 miles from Formosa, the big island Japan took from China and 1t would be comparatively easy for the Japanese to engineer an ex- petition against the Philippines from that point, much easier for them to attack than 1t would be for us to de- fend. Of eourse the Japanese pro- fessions are all of friendship. They may have the best intentions in the world and there may never be any trouble with them in the Philippines. At the same time. American army and navy officers. who have studied the situation on the spo, do not think 90. And as the islands are al- most defenseless. 1t would seem as though this government were taking a long chance in leaving them SO.

MAN IN THl xoox.
versions of tho Myths as Held by
 People of Different Lands.

Of all tho myths which have
 sprung up around the moon. before
 GalileO's telescope revealed another
 world with lofty mountains. deep
 valleys and vast plains, the oldest,
 and probably tho most familiar to ua
 all, is that of its human inhabitant.
 Every nursery has heard the story
 of the man who was found by Moses
 gathering sticks on the Sabbath. and
 condemned to dwell in the moon till
 tho end of time.
 Originating. doubtless. in the su-
 perficial resemblance of some Of the
 moon spots to man with bundle of sticks on his back, 1t would be handed down by jealous Sabbatarians as an edifying warning. It has even been referred to Biblical authority. German nurses commonly vary the tale by saying that the offender was given the choice of burning in the sun or freezing in the moon. and that he preferred a lunar frost to a solar furnace. But in the middle ages, before Lutherans and Puritans had superimposed the conception of the Jewish sabbath upon the Christian Sunday. the crime thus punished was theft.
 It is possible, however. that the Man in the Moon" myth may claim an even remoter antiquity. Prfmi- tive man had a tendency to personi- fly those natural forces whose laws he could not comprehend. his imagina- tion endowed them with human force and human feelings. and with super human Knowledge and power. Hence tho moon acquired sex and 8 gender in Sanscrit and all derivations, ex- Icept Greek and Latin. and such modern languages as we have under the classical influence, 1t is mascu- line and doubtless. this is the reason why. the legendary Woman in the Moon" is not nearly 90 prev alent as the legendary Man.
 Be this as 1t may. 1t is certain that in Teutonic fable we find the moon inhabited by both sexes. For ac- cording to Barring Gould. our fam iliar nursery rhyme about Jack and Jill is derived from the Scandina- vian myth of the two children. Hinki and Bill, who wore taken up into the moon with their pole and bucket as they were drawing water. They symbolize the waxing and waning of the moon. while the water they are carrying refers to the influences of the moons phases upon the rainfall.
 There is an ancient belief found in some of the writings of the old Egyptians that the moon is an abode Of departed spirits. And some of the South American Indians still regard 1t as their "happy hunting ground" the parade disc of dead chiefs and braves. But in the middle ages the moon was generally looked upon as the seat of hell, and it is probably this circumstance that led to the fa- miliar association of the moon with witchcraft.-London Globe.

According to George Kennan, the Russian bureaucracy understands 'pogrom" as spontaneous rising of patriotic and public spirited citizens, the "best citizens of the community" :" to deal with evils which are not dealt with fast enough ofiicially. When a pogrom results successfully in Russia. as when 1t has the fewest possible survivors, the results are precisely the same as in the case of successful "paciflcation."

HUNT KISSES MRS. BASSETT
Witness Says She Saw Minister EN-
brace Woman who II Seek
ing Divorce.

\ new batch of dispositions has been
lied by Charles c. Bassett in the case in
which his wife. Mrs. Fannie Rice Bas-
iett, is seeking a divorce. Nearly all Of
hem bear on the relations existing be-
,ween Mrs. Bassett and Rev. f. Lawrence
Iunt. formerly of Washington, but now
I New York City.
One of the dispositions is by a former
servant in the Bassett household and
states that Mr. Hunt called frequently at
he house during Mr.. Bassetts absence
IN surveying trips. Mrs. Bassett some
lines received him in her room and once
he witness said she saw Mr.. Hunt kiss
Mrs. Bassett as he was leaving the house.

GOOD KIND Of MEN TO KNOW
The Sort of Men who Usually
Hold the Lasting Esteem
of All.

There are certain standards of excellence
to which all defer. To say of a man that
he is patient and faithful as a letter car
rler. steady and dependable as a locomo-
tive engineer, earnest, convincing and
necessary as life insurance agent is to
place him In the mind and heart as one
good to know. The old-fashioned qualities
OF excellence are never out of date and no.
body wearies of associating with. employ
ing or enjoying the friendship of men with
any or all of the attributes noted. Most
life insurance agents, for instance. retain
the friendship for years and often clear
through to the day OF death of the men
whom they have prevailed upon to accept
policies. Their initial earnestness i'm
pressed, their convincing arguments per-
suaded and the necessity of all they urged
has so been verified that ninety-nine policy
holders out of a hundred grow into a solid
liking and admiration for the men who in
sured them and are only sorry that they
did not know them earlier.

ACCUSATIONS BEFORE THE GRAND JURY
Several Men of Magic City Testify as
to Certain Omcial Trans
actions that DO Not
suit Them.

Several South Omaha men were called
before the county grand jury Thursday
morning to give testimony which may be
used in evidence preliminary to an indict-
ment of a number of the city officials. An
attempt is being made to show cause of
action against the mayor and council and
possibly the treasurer and clerk. The city
engineer may be made defendant also.
This Indictment has been threatened for
some time and the petition asking that wit
nesses for the state be called before tn
grand Jury was filed over a week ag
Charles Cummings, David Anderson and
five or six others were among the witnesses
examined.
It appears from hints dropped that the
doings of the present administration ha'
been pulled over, but the specific ground

Missouri Avenue Paving.
The Missouri avenue paving case is o.
such recent date that many people will re
call some of the circumstances. The cit!
administration was urged by all parties
not only the residents along the street, bu
every quarter, TO promote the execution o
the contracts by prevailing on Mr.. Murph!
20 begin the work Acting on this sugges
ton the mayor is said to have made Ger
tain arrangements with Mr.. Murphy TO pro
tect him against a possible injunction, o
loss, therefrom. II is contended that tn
arrangement was TO pay the paving est
mates in advance of the actual work don
on the street. About $500 had been rai
before the alarm of some citizens took sue
