Steries have often been told of snakes and frogs in human stomachs. An instance in regard to the habits of animals whick : even more peculiar, because it is, perhaps, the first of its kind, came to light here about a week ago, when a man with a nest of cockroaches in the interior of his skull Presented himself to Dr. Johnson at the Emergency Hospital for treatment. Cases | have often been noticed where bugs have | entered the ear and caused exérutlating pain | by eating the delicate membranes and tis- sues of the inner ear before they could be} driven out. But this fs the ‘irst case where | @ roach was permitted to remain in the ear! long enough to lay its eggs and hatch its young. George Woods, who was the patient, a young man of about twenty, is employed on an oyster boat. Like many other boats, this one was infested with big black cockroaches. One night while Woods was asleep a roach crept into his ear and lodged itself just far enough inside to be out of reach. Woods felt it there the next morning, but being unable to poke it out with his finger, he Permitted it to remain, thinking her roach- Ship would tire of her quarters and move out. But the roach, either because it got in head first and could not turn around and get out, or because it found the accommo- dations exceedingly comfortable, instead of | getting out, proceeded to make its nest right there in the man’s ear. Finally it started to tunnel through the head. As it afterward | was shown on investigation, the roach had | eaten its way through the channel to the tympanum and through the drum itself. Here, it seems, it gave up its investigations and from some cause or other died. When Woods found that he was deaf in his right ear he thought he had better have the matter looked into, so he took advan- tage of his boat being in Washington to oO to the hospital. When Dr. Johnson washed out the ear, in addition to the body of the defunct roach, a number of little roaches and some eggs, which had failed to hatch, were removed. These roaches probably are the only ones to enjoy the distinction of having been born in the cranium of a ving man. o+-—_____ HOW GRAVITATION VARIES. } Probably Caused by Subterra: Commotions, From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. That changes involving the displacement of immense masses are going on within the earth is one of the suggested explanations of some observations recently announced in France. It has been found at the Pare St. Maur observatory that the force of gravi- tation, or the weight of bodies, undergoes daily variations. These are rendered sen- sible by placing in the earth a tube con- taining a column of mercury balanced by | the pressure of hydrogen contained in a closed vessel connected with the tube, and Tegistering by means of photography and alterations in the level of the mercury. After all corrections have been made for the effect of change of temperature, it ap- pears certain that certain variations in the level of the mercury are only to be explain- ed on the theory that they are due to changes in gravitation. These variations last from fifteen minutes to an hour. They are, of course, very small, amounting at a} maximum to only one-twentieth of a milli- meter, but they may imply very great dis- placements of matter in the interior of the globe. 4 It has been suggested that similar exper- iments should be conducted in the neigh- vorhood of active volcanoes, where liqui- fied rock is moving beneath the surface, and other disturbances of the strata of the | earth are taking place. | Such facts as these present t | imation a very formidable pictife of the gi- }gantic commotions that accompany the | slow cooling and contraction of the globe | on whose hardened crust we rear our edi- fices, wondering when some of them are oc- | castonally shaken down by earthquakes, at | the instability of a planet that is apparent- ly so solid. the imag- -— eee ——_- Emperor William celebrated the twenty- fitth anniversary of his entrance into the army Friday.

He stated further that there was due the soldier at the time of his death, for services in the army, about $1,800; and in view of the fact that a strict compliance with the regulations of the department would involve much time and expense, he requested that so far as possible these for- malities be dispensed with. Controller Man- sur investigated the case and found the facts substantially as stated by the, con- sack the mone: aE veaereniant dented that the fish were | cumstances of the case-he has directed that unsound and said that Mr. Chase was the | the regulation which requires letters of ad~ only man who made complaint about the ministration in all cases of this character fish, although he sold about 2,000 pounds of | where the amount involved exceeds $500 be them.

These are of satin, in white, and stretch from the center to fall over the edge by each plate. Here they are inscribed in tiny gilt letters with | a rame—that of the person occupying that | particular spot. Thus they serve instead of the name card and are much more dec- crative. ———_+e Entertained ut Dinner. Representatve Thomas H.

An eleven and one-half-inch steel plate, rep- resenting the barbette armor of the monitor Monadnock, was tested at the Indian Head proving grounds Saturday afternoon and successfully withstood the standard attacks of two 250-pound projectiles from an eight- Inch rifle, thereby Insuring the acceptance of about 300 tons of armor valued at $180,- 000, The plate was made of nickel steel and was not Harveyized. It was made by the Carnegie Company. The first sample plate submitted by this company did not stand the test. The test on Saturday was witnessed by Commodore Sampson, chief of the ord- nance bureau; Capt. Mertwago of the Rus- sian legation, Capt.

Opposed te Reinstating Dismissed Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, civil service com- missioner, has written a letter to Repre- sentative Broderick in response to a com- munication announcing that the House judiciary committee had decided to make favorable report on the Houk bill permit- ing the Postmaster General to restore to the service the railway mail clerks who were dismissed the classification of that service after the order for its classifi- cation had been issued. Mr. Roosevelt opposes the bill and states that he would have asked for a hearing by the committee had he known of the matter. He says in his letter that the classification of the railway mail service was originally ordered by President Cleveland to take ef- fect on March 15, 1889; that it was absolute- ly impossible for the civil service commis- sion to complete the classification by that date, and in consequence the classification was deferred until May: 1, 1889, at which Gate it actually took effect.’ Advantage was taken of the delay in the classification to turn out 2,300 democratic clerks, replacing them, without examination, with republi- cans. This, he says, was undoubtedly an outrage; but in the first place it is all wrong to try to cure it by committing another Wrong now, and in the next place it was an outrage precisely similar in character to what has occurred in a number of the newly Classified post offices within the last eight months. In 1889 the republican administra- sweep- clerks and re- them by republicans, just before the “in iets ihe Seteraie_postmasters lem: at romrg, See X., at Topeka and Kansas > a lesburg, Blcomington and Quin- jey. Tl ‘Athens, Ge.. and in several other de- | took advantage of the y in the Classification of the free delivery post..oftices to make sweeping removais among the republican clerks and carriers in their offices and to replace them by dem- ocrats, just before the classification went into effect. The cases are precise paraiiei, and it is rank dishonesty to try to cure one and not cure the other. If the democratic employes dismissed before the classification of the railway mail service in 1889 are to be restored, then the republican employes dis- missed before the classification in the of- fices in'1888 ought to be restored. ‘The truth is that neither one set nor the other should be restcred. The only safe rule to follow in dealing with the civil service law is to deal with office and branch of the government from the moment it becomes and not to take into account’ what went on be- fore. 1f we do endeavor to take into ac- count what went on before we are entan- gled in an absolutely hopeless mesh of Wrongs suffered and committed by both sides during the preceding years, and it is j Quite impossible to remedy any of these wrongs without committing fresh wrongs in turn. Of the 2,300 clerks appointed to fill the places of the democrats but nine hundred now remain in the service (a strong proot of the inferiority of the men obtained under the spoils system), so that the bulk of the places are now filled by people who came in through the civil service examina- tions, very many of whom were themselves democrats. In most cages, therefore, the reinstatement would result in turning our not the original beneficiary of the wrong, but some innocent and honest outsider. Moreover, the persons who would be rein- stated would be the very persons who ought not to be reinstated. The discharged rail- Way mail clerks who were honest, capable men, have now, five years after their dis- charge, undoubtedly gotten where they are at work at good salaries. it is Precisely those who are incapable and who originally got their places merely through political favoritism, but who have now banded themselves together in Political as- Sociations for selfish purposes. who would get reinstated under the proposed law. it must be remembefed that all of the 2,300 clerks turned out in 1839 simply suffered under the same spoils system through which they had recetved their appointments. Dur- jing the democratic administration of 1Ss5- 1889 nearly % per cent of the republican railway mail clerks were turned out and Were supplanted by democrats. During the two months before the classification of the service under the succeeding republican ad- ministration 40 per cent of the entire force, or about half of the democrats in it, were turned out by the republicans. Then the office was classified. No appointments or dismissals for partisan reasons have been made since, and it would be mischievous tn the extreme now to go back to the old sys- tem and allow the reinstatement of the men ane apeaany, appointed for spoils rea- ——__- oe - -_____.
