WAsHINGroN, Aug. THE election Of
a President OF Hayti. arranged by the
iiaytians In Port au Prince for to-mor-
row. w1l not take place.
Admiral Caperton reported to-day that
the election. which was to have been
held by the Haytian Congress. has besr
indefinitely postponed. II IS understood
That Admiral Caperton was responsible
for the Haytian political leaders aban-
doning their programme.
IL is considered by Admiral Caper-
ton and also by the Administration at
Washington that II would be most in
opportune to have the Haytians choose
Il President In the present state OF af-
fairs In the negro republic.
American forces are rapidly extend
ing their control over Hayti. and will
continue to do so until all disorders have
been ended. 1t is also considered most
desirable that no action be taken with
reference to the Presidency until the
United States has definitely decided on
It's policy in Hayti.
This decision may he deferred for
some time. 1t is now believed here. IL
has been indicated that the policy of the
Administration at present would he TO

most effective measures for the "a. tora

three centuries. The arch has an un-

Dominican monks planned and built
their own church. This arch was
near the front OF the entrance and
supported the organ loft. and It fell
down three times as soon as the sup
ports were taken away. Then monk

Snakes Sixth Sense.

That the snake has a real sixth sense
by which it finds its mate In the woods
and unerringly trails its prey Is the
belief Of a man who is a special stu
dent Of snakes. The seat of this sense
Of direction is supposed to be the curl
Gus forked tongue, which can have
none Of the uses TO which the tongue
II usually applied. but Is a feeler and
more and is necessarily darting about
a. the snake travels. A lizard was
seen to come from beneath a house In
the woods, take a zigzag course and
disappear under a box ten feet away.
Two minutes later a black snake ap-
peared, passed over the lizards exact
course, keeping the tongue constantly
seeking the trail, and, darling under
the box, quickly emerged with the liz
ard In its jaw. Many other observa-
tons seem to prove that the tip Of the
tongue is the guide.-Exchange.

cIsver eainsborouahs.

The father OF Thomas Gainsborough,
the great Suffolk painter, added as
much to the wealth OF Sudbury as the
son increased its fame, says the Lon
don Taller. for the father introduced
more than one new industry into the
town from Coventry. The GainsbOr-
oughs were indeed a remarkable fam
ny. One brother OF the painter, known
as "Scheming Jack" was clever enough
to make himself pair Of copper wings,
but not clever enough to fly with them;
to make a cradle which rocked itself
and a cuckoo which sang all the year
round. Thomas himself at an early
age startled his father by forging his
signature to a message addressed to
the local schOOlmaster, "Glve Tom
holiday" a message which provoked
the parental prophecy, tom win be

M soap plant II native Of Msxicc

name from the fact that its roots when
placed In water form suds Ike soap
and may b used In washing. The root

extending into the earth to the depth
Of Eix 70 eight inches. The Mexican
women use 1t for washing the most
delicate silks, which are thereby nei-
Their injured nor discolored The leaves
Of the plant are from six to fourteen
inches in length and sometimes even
more and half an inch in width, and
Of fiber so strong that a man OF ordi-
nary strength cannot break one with
his hands. Much Of the paper used In
Mexico is made from these plants, be-
ing very fine and white. The plant
looks like a clump Of coarse grass, each
blade being finished at the end with q

drills shoot out from the blades and

suIphurie Acid and Civilization.

Liebig said that we might gauge the
civilization of u country by the guam
tity OF sulphuric acid it consumed The
total output Of this acid is now about
5.0O0.OOO tons. according to the fourth
edition OF Professor q. Lunge's trea-
tise on its manufacture. At least
100000 tons a year have been made
in Germany. and that country has been
importing about 10000 tons besides.
Sulphuric acid is made principally
from iron pyrites, but also from zinc
blende. II Is essential in the manu-
facture OF high explosives, but there Is
scarcely a process Of manufacture into
which 1t does not enter. 1t Is said that
there Is no branch Of chemical tech
nOlogy that has been more thoroughly
developed than that OF the manufac
ture Of sulphuric acid, but so keen Is
the competition that improvements are
taking place all the time.

Byron's autobiography. The manu-

When Cocoa Was Cash.

Cocoa once figured very prominently
In the war history Of the nation Of its
birth, Mexico. We know that Monte
yuma levied his tribute upon the ma
tons round In loads Of cocoa, and on
occasions his treasure houses were
bursting with the accumulated noun
tains. Prescott assures rs that the
currency Of Mexico consisted Of ''nans-
parent quilts Of gold dust Of bits Of

Of cacao containing a specified number
Of grains" So that In ancient Mexico
to export cocoa was to deprive the en-

The sneez.nood Tree.

The remarkable sneezewood tree Is
a native of Natal and other parts of
South Africa. Its funny name was
given to It because one cannot saw II
without sneezing violently. The dust
Of its wood has Just the same effect
as the strongest snuff and is so irritat-
ing TO the nose that wOrkmen are
Obliged TO sneeZe even when they are
planning IL II piece Of the wood
Of this tree Is Put In the mouth 1t Is
found to have a very bitter taste. and
no doubt II is this bitterness which
prevents insects OF any kind from at
lacking the timber OF the SneezewOOd
tree. The fact that insects find 1t so
makes its wood very val
liable for work that is required to last
a long time.
