CHAMBERLAIN SWORN IN.
Unionist Leader Too Feeble to Walk
 or Sign His Name.

or Sign Ills Name.
 Joseph Chamberlain, who started the British tariff reform campaign years ago and who has represented Birmingham for thirty-four years, was among those sworn in as mem- bers of the new house of commons at London on Wednesday.
 The former colonial secretary, who is now in his seventyfourth year and who has been an invalid for several years, entered the house on the arm of his son Austen, who assisted him to a seat. Another member of the house helped Austen in taking him to his chair. He repeated with evident difficulty the oath from a card which the clerk held.
 Austen Chamberlain, who Is himself a prominent Unionist, then signed the book in behalf of his father, who was only able to make a cross opposite his name. The scene was pathetic.

 Minister to Switzerland.

JOHN D. REYBURN. Mayor of Philadelphia

Mayor of Philadelphia
 were injured, and for two hours there was fierce battle between the police and 10000 strike sympathizers that ragged for five blocks along German town avenue.
 Other serious disturbances occurred in Kensington, Philadelphia's great mill district in the northeastern part of the city. The cars in different parts of that district were attacked by strike sympathizers, many of them boys, and the crews were compelled to abandon them. The cars were wrecked and were then set on fire. The fire depart ment was summoned, but they were damaged beyond repair before the fire men arrived. The firemen, however, were ordered to turn their hose on the crowd, and the mob quickly scattered.
 One of the worst of the acts of vio- lence was the blowing up of two cars on Lehigh avenue with dynamite. A mob of strikers and their sympathiz- CTS ordered the motormen, conductors and passengers off the cars, put sticks of dynamite under the trucks and fired the explosive. The cars were com pletely destroyed.
 A mob Of 5000, in which there were at least POO women, shrieking like har- pies, pulled a nonunion mOtorman from the platform of a Frankford car. Lieutenant Sykes galloped up with a squad of mounted police and charged the crowd. The police had their re- volvers out. Three of the mob had thrown rope around the motOrman's s neck, had noOsed it and were prepar- ing to swing him up to a lamppost. The pistols scared them off, and the policemen rescued the shaking motor man.
 The mob resorted to curious devices to stop the progress of the cars. A crowd laid an American flag over the rails of the Kensington avenue tracks. When the motorman of car ran straight over the flag they yanked him off and beat him badly. At another point they rolled, with much eXertion, a pair of enormous beer casks, obtain ed at a brewery, and set them on the tracks. When the first car came along the motorman and conductor took one look and climbed off.
 Frequently squads of strikers or their sympathiZers planted themselves between she rails and dared the mo- tormen to run over them. It was about the most effective barricade they found. The carmen didn't dare It would have meant their death in all likelihood.
 Ashes, carloads of dirt, the contents of all the garbage cans that could be collected for blocks around, piles of iron and heaps of wood were piled on the trucks, tactics that interfered ma terially with the attempt of the transit company to keep certain lines in serv- ice
 Clarence O. Pratt, the strike leader, was arrested charged with conspiracy and melting riot. The director of public safety, Henry Clay, called four plain clothes men into his office and told them to get the strike leader wherever he could be found. They found Pratt in restaurant and took him to a cell at police headquarters.
 This strike is the second inaugu- rated by the trolley men within a year. The leaders of the union say that the trouble was started by the company, which discharged 200 men flor the good of the service"

 An estimated value of $112,470 Is placed by Captain w. V. E.

Twenty-three Japanese have been arrested and turned over to the United States marshal at Honolulu for trial.
 Captain Jacobs reports that a large quantity of feathers and wings was shipped away before he arrived. In all about 100000 birds were killed.

Perpetual Motion in Sapphire
Wonders Seen at Soiree of Mcroscopca Society, One
Being Snail That Had $1,000 Teeth.

Scopical Society Of Illinois and the

many wonders of the hidden world
were set out for public view by men
OF serious mind who had devoted their
lives TO the business Of exposing the
secrets OF nature and to making the
smallest things OF life serve the prac-
teal use and benefit OF mankind.
The hookworm was one of the ex-
hibits. 1t was anchored to a micro

and makes them feel that they dom,

Then there was the edible snail with
2l000 teeth. Another snail was called
the toxoglossa. or poison tongue. The
tongue resembled a delicately colored
tasseled fan. only the tassels were

Chicago, Feb 26-"What the eye
does not see'-several hundred var
ious specimens of it-passed in micro
scopic review before many persons last
night at the Academy of Sciences
building
And the specimens were q motley
crew. The infinitesimal things of
life were they. but under the enlar ging
lenses of microscopes they assumed
shapes and colors of compelling beau
~ or repelling usliness. The Won
drous workings Of atomic life in
plants, minerals and animals-the
things that pass unnoticed by the hu-
man throng-were swelled for the mo-
ment from the tiny specks OF reality
to pictured greatness, and each in its
peculiar way helped to show that there
is reason for all things.
One thing only among all the exhib-
its from the molecular world failed to
prove the cause or reason of its be-
ing. And this thing was, perhaps the
most wonderful of all. 1t was dancing
crystals in the heart of sapphire.
During many thousands of years
for all time. so far as human knowl-
edge goes-hundreds OF minute crys-
talline particles have been ceaselessly
racing through the hollow heart of tina,
sapphire, and no one has been able to
say why.
Like Uneanny Spirits.
Under the microscope the little band
OF prisoners. all unseen by the naked
eye, are beating ever at the walls of
the sapphire's heart, as if seeking an
escape that will be forever denied
them. They never rest. are never
still. and they seem for all like the un,
quiet spirits of the inferno.
Possibly these restless particles rep.
resent the perpetual motion so long
sought by scientists. And possibly it
is something entirely different, for
Walter F. Herzzberg. who has studied
the sapphire for years, says he knows
nothing about it. He is certain only
he says, that tomorrow, and next year
and through the coming centuries
some dancing motion will go on. and
will end only when the beautiful sap,
phire is destroyed and it's hollow heart
laid open to the light.
But the imprisoned crystals. remark
able as they seemed, held only their
separate share of the interest of the
microscopic exhibits. 1t was the an
nual joint soiree of the State Micro

There are manifest advantages about

Woman's proverbial terror Of mice
has completely cured a London dress
maker who has been paralyzed for
nine years.
In August, 1901. Mrs. Mary Ann
Sanford, dress maker, was working
very hard to complete orders for the
Bank Holiday of that year. Suddenly
and without warning, she was struck
with paralysis all down her right side.
For some days she entirely lost her
speech, but this gradually returned to
her. But her right arm and leg were
completely paralyzed together with the
| muscles On the right side of her face.
In fact, the right side of her body lost
all power of sensation, and seemed to
undergo whitening influence. About
two years ago she accidentally ran
needle through the index finger of her
right hand, but she felt no pain what
ever, and no blood came. She was
treated by some of the best specialists
on paralysis and they all pronounced
her case incurable.
The other night Mrs. Sanford was
sitting in her room, when mouse ran
, across the floor.
The rodent scared her SO, that she
could not sleep all night and all next
day she felt tingling sensation down
her right side The next morning
when she awolee, she found, to her in
tense surprise and delight, that she
was able to use her right hand as we'll
as ever she could, and that she could
j walk without assistance.
Ever since she has been regaining
her strength, and her doctor has in
formed her that she has quite recov-
cred her health.
Mrs. Sandford told her story yester-
day.
Last week. she said, Il could not
pick up piece of paper. Now, you
see, l can pick up pin. 1t has been
an extraordinary experience, and can
hardly describe my sensations when

The urgent need Of breeding sup
ply of horses large enough to meet the
demands of the English military au

Of new society, THE British Horse
Supply and Earmarking Association"
The Boer war cost England 100000
horses and for years Continental gov
ernments have been draining England
of her best horses.
In order to stop this, the Ear-Mark-
ing association intends to introduce a
system under which suitable animals
are to be earmarked by the English
government, who would pay from $50
to 500 per horse for the privilege. 1t
shall then be the duty of the Customs
authorities to see that such horses do
not leave the country. One of the fea
lures of the scheme Is, that the ear
marking is to be an entirely voluntary

One hundred and seventy thousand
horses will be Immediately required
upon the mobilization of the British
army.
If the London Yeomanry were sud
denly ordered to Hastings, only one out
of the three regiments could get there
on horseback.
The second regiment would have to
go down in motor cars and fight on
foot. and the third would have to walk
all the way.
The society intends to ask for a gov
eminent grant of $2,5OO,OOO per an

An influential committee has been
appointed to work out detailed propos-
ais, and it is agreed to present bill
in Parliament for preventing the ex-
portation of ear-marked horses.
