Malaria.

Malaria ever has been, and is yet.
the great barrier against the invasion
of the tropics by the white races, nor
has its injurious influences been con.
fined to the deaths that it causes.
1t has been held by careful students
of tropical diseases and conditions,
that no small part of that singular
apathy and indifference which steal
over the mind and body of the white
colonist in the tropics, numbing even
his moral sense and alternating with
furious outbursts of what the French
have termed tropical wrath" charac-
terlzed by unnatural cruelty and abb
normal disregard for the rights of
others, is the ready work of ma
laria.-Outing.

CHANGES IN FIGHTING SHIPS.
United States Naval Designers Have
Recently Made a Number Of
Improvements.

The principal changes r the re-
moyal OF bridges, the taking out of
the old military masts and the sub
sttation for them OF the new circular
lattieewor masts for carrying the
~Hre=eontrol platforms. Tie after
bridge and its associate armored sig
nal tower have been removed and the
forward bridge has been greatly cut
down. The extensions of this bridge
On each side of the coming tower are
now SO arranged that they can be
quickly removed in time for battle,
the captain of the ship being hence
forth compelled to take his station
within the coming tower. where he
properly belongs. BY the removal of
the top hamper it will be possible for
the captain to command the horizon,
except through that arc of it which is
shut out by the smoke-stacks. says a
writer IN the Scientific American.
This change viii remove one more
of the picturesque and popular cpl
sodes OF the earlier days of sea fight
ing. The captain will no longer fight
his ship from the flying bridge and
in the open. The coming tower was
built for him, and a due regard for
the issues of the battle demands that
he remain within it. 1t was the
death of Admiral Without, of the Care
witch, that threw the Russian line into
disorder in the great sortie from Port
Arthur. at the very time when the
chances of shaking off the Japanese
OF the battleships in that fight told
as that the admiral was struck by a
shell as he was leaning with folded
arms upon the railing of the bridge
watching the Japanese line. That
shot also wrecked the coming tower,
it is true, but the latter was of a de.
sign which would not be considered in
Il navy.
In addition to the removal of top
hamper, the whole Of the accumulated
layers of old paint throughout the
ships is being removed; and in future,
weights, ne ship will be allowed to
carry an accumulation of stores be-
yond the regular six months supply.
AS showing the absurdity of the state
ment that the structural changes men
toned above are being made in order
to bring the "~deeply-laden ships" up
to a lighter draft, it may be mentioned
that when the alterations are com
pleted the draft will be only from
thr%ee-quarters OF an inch to 1a
inches less than before.

Excelsior and CuIlinan.

The two largest diamonds in the
world have been brought to light with
in the last score of years. Great dia-
monds have been the objects of zeal
Gus pursuits for centuries, and even
the cause of murders and wars insti-
gated by the mad desire for their ac-
QUESTION. In the case of the great
historic diamonds, however, we lack
complete and authentic information
regarding every stage Of their history
which we possess in reference to
these magnificent diamonds in our
own day. IT is true that no important
historic happening has yet been asso-
ciated with either of them, but we are
making history every day, and there
can be little doubt that in the future
the story Of the Excelsior and Cullin-
nan diamonds will be as eagerly
sought for as is that of the Koh-i-nur,
the Regent and the Orloff.-From DIR.

Largest Diamonds" in the Century.

Silver cups made by such famous
workmen as MyrOn, Myos and Mentor,
were preferred to gold cups. They
were beautifully engraved and of
workmanship which has never been
equaled. When gold cups were en-
riched with precious stones, they
sometimes became peers Of the en-
graved silver vessels.
OF all sizes, shapes and designs
were these drinking cups, and their
value was measured more by their
form and design than the material of
which they were made. Some had two
handles, some only one and some none
at all. They were large and small,
low and tall, marrow and oblong. They
were purely the product of the vary
ing fancy OF that prodigious age,
which seemed TO scOrn uniformity.
The early Greeks and Romans
drank hot water from cups, as we now
drink coffee and tea, these beverages
being unknown to them. Coffee orig
mated with the Assyrians, and tea
was first used by the Chinese at a
very early age.-National Food Mag

Reducing the Ranqe of Wit.

Mark Twain once said there were
but seven original jokes. Now there
are but six. The management of a
long chain of vaudeville houses has
decreed thai no actor in playing in its
circuit shall spring the mother-in-law
joke upon the helpless audience; and
while this action does not quite elm
mate the joke from common usage it
so crlpples it that it may be regarded
as a hopeless invalid doomed to early
oblivion or dissolution.

HIS. KINDLY HEART
CHAMPION SENSITIVE MAN WAS
THIS VERMONT CITIZEN.
His Mantle of Kindness Even Spread
over That Pestilential Enemy of
the Human Race. the Blood
thirsty Mosquito.

Il think the most sensitive man |
ever knew" said Col. Gailiper, was
an old friend of mine named Jonathan
Saglow. who lived at one time in
Storkville Center, It. He couldn't
bear to see pain inflicted on man or
beast, and any sort Of cruelty filled
him with great Indignation.
ION Mr.. Saglow's place there was
a little bit of swamp land which he
had never drained and which fur
nished a breeding place Tor what |
suppose We're the greatest and tierc-
est mosquitoes that yer grew, but
Saglow had no screens on his porch
or windows. He did have some once
on his porch but he took them down
the next day after he put them UP.
People hesitated to call on the
Saglows in summer on account of
those mosquitoes. There were mos
quitoes, sure enough, elsewhere in
Storkville Center than around where
they lived, but one quite so big ana
ferocious as those that grew in Sag
lows swamp.
"Then one day. to %Storkyille Cen
tres great establishment, Mr.. Saglow
was seen putting up screens around
his front porch; the next day, to its
still greater astonishment, he was
seen taking them down, and Mr.. Sag
low wasn't a man that everybody
could run up to to ask the why's and
wherefores of anything he'd done, but
one day in a friendly mood he told me
why he had taken down the screens
the very day after he had put them up.
He admitted freely that that one
night they had had on the porch with
the screens up had been most comfort
able for them all; that to sit there
and not be bored into by those giant
mosquitoes had been an experience
that they had all greatly enjoyed; but
what he saw in the morning when he
came to look the screens over by
daylight prompted him to take them
down Immediately.
sticking through these screens, all
over, all around, everywhere, he saw
mosquitoes broken off beaks-you can
judge what sized beaks they were
when l tell you that those screens
were not very fine meshed-big beaks
which mosquitoes had thrust through
the netting in their efforts to get at
the people inside, and which had be-
come wedged there and been broken
off when the mosquitoes had beaten
up against those screens and how
many had stuck their beaks through
and still been able to get them out
again nobody could know, but here
We're "a broken off beaks still stick,
ing through the meshes of the net
ting.
Now most people. you know, would
have found a sort of savage JOY in the
contemplation of those broken off
spears and in the thought that so
many giant pests had thus been
made innocuous; but not so with
Jonathan Saglow.
When he saw those "a broken off
beaks the first thought that came to
him was of the poor wounded and
manned mosquitoes wandering beak.
less around the world deprived of their
only means of s%ustenance: and
s~traightway he tore down the screens
so that others might not by them be
made likewise to suffer; for not even
upon the sufferings of mosquitoes
could he dwell with serenity, this
most sensitive man | ever knew"

COMMISSION ON
 SWITCHING RATES

Little Rock, Ark. May 6.-The Ar kansas Railroad Commission yester- day heard much argument on the question of making new switching rates and limits for Arkansas towns, and postponed the matter until Mon- day when there will be another meet ing to talk over the new freight tariff which will call off the injunction suits. The increase by the railroads of from $3.S0 per car % per hundred, switching charges has brought on the discussion. A depot was ordered for Leachville. on the Jonesboro, Lake City X Eastern. All other matters were continued until the regular meeting in June Among these mat ters was the proposed rate on ice cream empties. and permitting the Rock Island to move station from Fenton to Poyen
