HARD TO KILL.

There are some things that are hard to kill. For instance, the belief that we have vast unclaimed wealth only waiting to be claimed by us in England or Holland Another attempt has just been made to kill the Holland notion. MT. David J. Hill, United States minis- ter at The Hague, calls attention in 8 communication to the department of commerce and labor to one case in par ticular, where for more than thirty years one of these alleged estates in Holland has been used to secure money from confding Americans. Mir. Hill reports that the number of communica- tions from Americans inquiring into es- tates in Europe which they believe to be theirs is increasing in number, and he ventures to call attention to a pamphlet published by the department of state showing that in 1852 the Meth erlands passed a law for the final dis posal of all estates for which there were no claimants, and which have now un- der this law become irrevocably es- cheated to the Netherlands MT. Hill adds also that what investigation he has made shows that these estates, as far back as 1852, never aid exist ex- cept in imagination" The report goes on to state that as far back as 1878 the United States minister at The Hague made a report upon the fraudulent character of these estates, and as late as 1896 the American consul at Amster- dam went on to further disclose the fraudulent character of these sharpers who were endeavoring to induce Amer jeans to put up their money to secure valuable property in Holland.
 Of course talk like this wont have much effect. Hope and confidence are Istrong.

SOME GOOD EATING.

There's nothing pure but Heaven and that baking powder. How things can be and are done is going to be shown by chemist who is going to give dinner at New York hotel tonight, at which, with the exception of the meats and the cigars, everything will be pre- pared by the professor, in the presence of his guests, from chemicals. A con- bination of alcohol, sacharine, absinthe and analine yellow, mixed with ice, will form 8 martini cocktail, which will have the flavor of the real article in which gin is the prevailing ingredient. An oyster cocktail will contain nothing but chemicals, excepting the oysters. and Professor Stillman guarantees that it will have the appearance and possess the flavor of the oyster cocktail made ol the natural sauce. Sauterne wine, green turtle soup, biscuit butter, cur rant jelly, sherbet, ice cream, coffee and cognac are among the other things on the menu which will be made with out the use of any of the natural com- ponents of those articles.
 Professor stiliman guarantees that no one who partakes of this unique repast will suffer In consequence, and that, unless evidence to the contrary was be- fore his guests, they would not know they were eating fakes" As they eat them every day probably few more wont hurt them.

''.Wanwordy crazy, dinsome thing AS ger was framed to joW or rlng! What gard them sic in steeple hing,
 They ken themsel;
 But weel wot I, they couldna bring
 Waur sounds frae hell"
 So said the poet. with an ear by dis cord pained," But if he had been in New Haven and heard the Christ church chime he wouldn't have written any such stuff, and he would probably have spelled better as well as sung bet ter. The new bells of Christ church are sweet bells, and not tangled. They are an important addition to the beauties and glories of New Haven, and the gen. erous giver of them will be held in grateful remembrance as long as their pleasing tones sound We congratulate all concerned on the fine quality of the chime, and we especially congratulate the generations of the people of New Haven who will hear it. It Is not often that a generous man succeeds In doing as good thing for a community as the giver of this chime has done for New Haven.

who represents the motive of our time as the captains of the Spanish forays in the new world represented the creed and brutal form of the impulse four hundred years ago. We are to glance at those fields that await the modern explorer, and are to give him the same inspiration that the men of old won when they know they ''were the first that ever burst-into that silent sea-" There is, it is true, a certain mere physical delight in being thus won in mere seeming, for it is rarely we are sure that we are the first in the seer- ing unknown. But this delight is somewhat childish; 1t is like that of the big game hunter who has the sat- isfaction that in killing an elephant he has done what no one else has done, or will do, for that particular beast. Most newly discovered seas have been ploughed by unknown keels, and there are few square mites of land that have not been tradden by many feet. The mountain-climber-o of the common est embodlments of the exploring mo- tive-most often finds on the virgin summit or canon a beer bottle and the card of John Doe.-N. s. Shaler in the Atlantic.

THE Joy OF EXPLORATION.


 The real exploration of the world has to be done, and endlessly done over, by men who go to it's fields of land and sea for very definite purposes ito satisfy the needs of the learning of their time. Only the mere fringes of this endeavor will be devoted to climb ing peaks or winning a few miles near CT to a mere geographical definition such as the North or South Pole. The cause of true exploration will be vast ly advanced when some real observer with the spirit of the naturalist finds himself within, say, fifty miles of the poles with a sea beneath him that by surroundings proves that there, is no land polewards, who then deliberately gives up the satisfaction of putting his feet a little nearer to that field in which the wobbly axis of the earth ends, in order that he may save time and force for better uses. That man will stand for the new type of explorer

MOTOR BOOTS.

Man can't yet fly well, but he can get around on the land and the water with considerable ease and celerity Some genius has just succeeded in adding to his power of traversing the land. Mo- tor boots have appeared in Paris. They are two little automobiles each if teen inches in length and with four rubber tired wheels eight inches in di- ameter. The operator exerts no pow CT, as in roller skates, for the power lies ln the accumulators, which are car- ried in a belt One and a-quarter horsepower is furnished to each motor boot. The weight of the boots is six teen pounds apiece, but as the feet are not lifted from the ground this weight doesn't matter. Speed can be regulat- ed from six to thirty miles an hour.
 This is easier than roller skating. Perhaps one objection is that it Is too easy. and doesn't make the man exer- else enough But it will doubtless be popular for time. There are people, we believe, who find pleasure in riding motor cycles.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier: It i'll becomes "Quidnunc' to make such allusions to the w. c. T, U. as are made in the article appearing in your paper on Monday, entitled Angels Are Masculine, But Why Colonels?" The women belonging to this association are hard-working and conscientious, and that they have done much to ob- tain equal rights for women and to put society on a higher plane is recognized Joy all fair-minded people. To speak of these women as "old-time, well-sea- soned warriors" is positively indecent. If some of the good and pure women from this band of Christian workers were given places upon the, governors staff am sure that they would ptr- form the duties of their office faith fully, and not make so much useless expenses as is now made for the tax payers.

Tn pursuance of the pur- pose, appeals have been made to the legislatures of the various States whose troops participated in the battle in which the Federal forces under General Lew Wallace delayed the advance of General Early's forces, and thereby saved Washington from capture by the Confederates. As a result of the move ment bills have been introduced in the New York; New Jersey, Fennsylvania and Vermont legislatures, and that of Maryland will also be asked for an ap- propriation for the memorial

The Massachusetts commissioners of fisheries estimate that the damage caused by dogfsh to marketable fish in that state amounts to about $4O0,0O0 an- nually The only practicable way of getting rid of the dogfsh seems to be to eat him, but unfortunately there is a strong prejudice against him as a food article. The commissioners say that his flesh is wholesome, that when cut into steaks it resembles halibut, and when canned is suggestive of lobster.
