snecial tn ~ Mashinrtnn Hernld.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Baltimore. Nd, Nov. 24.-Mayor Tim
anus appealed this afternoon to Congress-
men Wachter, Gill. and Mudd to use their
influence at Washington in order to pre-
vent Fort McHenry being turned into a
livestock quarantine station.
Mayor Timanus is much exercised over
the prospect Of the historic fort being
converted into what he terms such base
uses, and proposes TO do all in his power
to avert the calamity.
Fort McIIenry is one Of the historic
landmarks Of Baltimore" said the mayor
to-day Every Baltimorean takes a per
sonal pride in It. and every visitor to the
city wishes to see it Being virtually the
birthplace Of The Star-Spangled Ban
ner, it holds unique place in the af-
fections Of millions Of Americans. To
turn it into cattle quarantine station
would be a desecration."
Mayor Timanus has long believed that
If the army abandoned the fort as reg.
ular post the government should turn
1t over to the city Of Baltimore for
park.
Promised to Maryland Militia.
Promised to Maryland Militia.
As the matter stands at present. 1t
locks as II the quarantine officials will
have TO get the permission of the Mary
land National Guard before they can
get a portion OF the fort for a station
The fort has been practically promised
10 the State militia after March 81 next,
and it is reported that when the Bureau
of Animal Industry asked for the third
time for a PARTON Of the fort the War
Department advised it that IL would be
necessary to take the matter up with
the Maryland State authorities.
DR.. Hickman, chief OF the bureau. has
made visit to Baltimore and looked
over the fort, and has gone even SO far
as to have a part Of it surveyed. Il IS
also understood that he has taken up the
matter Of the use Of a part Of the fort
with Adjt. Gen. Clinton l. Riggs. but
that nothing definite has been decided.
"COw Lott Idea Is Defeated.
While Mayor Timanus and numerous
other citizens are loud in protest against
using the fort for cow lot" the propo-
siuoh hnds a supporter In ]. NJ, Lawford,
who said to-day;
People should understand that the ma
ture Of the proposed quarantine would be
an attractive cne. The animals imported
are Of high class and particularly in
teresting to any one who likes live stock.
There would be no danger Of disease from
them I have never heard Of a single dis
ease reported from the present quaran-
tine station. whIch I pass very often
would rather visit a quarantine station
where such auimals as Belgian horses
Southdown sheep. and Jersey cattle are
confined than I would a live stock show
at Pimlico"
The fort is the one that prevented the
capture Of Baltimore by the British in
the war )f 1872. It is to be abandoned on

Peculiar Light Giving Animals.

Peculiar Light Giving Animals.
= peculiar light giving animal found
IN southern Californian waters Is the
heteropod. The metropolis, dazzling
white and almost shapeless, can often
be seen floating on the clear water.
Their bodies are almost transparent,
and they have in addition to a long
tall powerful sucker, by which they
cling to seaweed. When these crea-
lures are irritated they seem to emit
q light from all over the body, though
one writer describes one In which the
5light-rad In this case-seemed to radi-
ate from the center Of the animal. OF
all the light giving animals the salpa

to seaweed and rocks. So plentiful axe
they In Californian waters that the
Santa Catalina channel, .whic;l is from
eighteen to twenty miles wide and
about forty-five miles long, is at times
literally covered with them as far as
the eye can reach. Covering the entire
surface and cleaning like gems in the
sunlight, they present a beautiful pic
ture. These animals constitute a del
icacy much sought for by whales.
Some of them shed silvery light,
while others yield blue and others red

Straw Rope Swings,

Korea is perhaps the. oldest country
in the world, and the customs and ac-
lions that go to make up the daily life
Of the people are not at all governed
by the logic or tradition which moves
us on our enlightened way. They have
no clearly regulated sports, nothing ap-
parently that could be. likeneG to a
national game. They pass most of
their recreation hours swinging in
straw rope swings and seem entirely
happy in the sport. The straw rope,
IL well made, is extremely durable and
can stand considerable weight, as may
be judged when: three, ahlebodied
young men impose. their. weight upon
the swing, standing on the shoulders
,of one another after the manner Of
yacrobats. 1t may be very fine pastime
but the average American, it is safe to
say, would find in it very little appeal.

Sir walter scott,. FIRST Brief.


Sir Walter Scott had his share Of the
usual curious experiences shortly after
being called to the bar. His first APP
pearance as counsel in criminal court
was at Jedburgh assizes in 1893, when
he successfully defended veteran
poacher. You're lucky scoundrel. .
Scott whispered to his client when the
verdict was given. "I'm just O your
mind" returned the latter, land I'll
send you a maukin q. e., hare) the
morn, man." Lockhart, who narrates
the incident, omits to add whether the
maukin duly reached Scott, but no
doubt it did. On another occasion Scott
was less successful in his defense of a
housebreaker, but the culprit, grateful
for his counsels exertions, gave him, In
lieu of the orthodox fee, which he was
unable to pay, this piece Of advice, to
the value Of which he Cthe housebreak-
err could professionally attest: First,
never to have q large watchdog out Of
doors, but to keep little yelping ter
rier within, and, secondly, to put no
trust in nice, clever, gimcrack locks,
but to PIN his faith to huge old heavy
one with rusty key. Scott long re-
membered this incident, and thirty
years later, at judges dinner at Jed.
burgh, he recalled it in this impromptu
rhyme:

Many a slip For The E=r=s-.

Raising wheat is no easy task" re-
marked a farmer. Zone year had
500 acres Of as beautiful wheat as ever
lay out of doors. It stood breast high,
and it seemed good for forty bushels
to the acre. That meant to me q
profit Of $1,000. I had the teams and
harvest hands engaged and expected
to begin cutting on Monday. On Fri
day afternoon there came out Of the
northwest greenish gray cloud. Fol
lowing a heavy rain, the hail fell. In
ten minutes the wheat was flattened to
six inches from the ground. We cut a
little Of it for hay. The remainder rot
ted on the ground. The mortgage on
the farm was foreclosed, and I hired
out by the day to support my family.
Do you wonder that the wheat farmer
is not boastful of his crop until he has
it in the grSnary T. Outlook. Il
