Sea Currents and migraticns, The French scientific journal La Nature calls attention to a recent re- port of the French consul at Hawaii whi-h, it thinks, throws light on some problems of ethnography. Not long ago a little schooner, dismantled and with its rudder gone as the result of a tempest, was drifted by winds and oceaa currents from Tahiti to Hawaii, after 81 days of helpless. wandering, Hawaiian traditions declare that in ancient days people came from Ta- hiti, drifting with the currents, and settled Haw The adventure of the | dismantled schooner seems to prove the possibility of such a m and it is sv have not yet udied, may throw } much light on the distribution of the native races among the island groups, pe ae eet A “Spouated” Coffin, A mahogany ‘coffin, bearing a gold monogram, gold-plated handles and elaborately chased with gold and silver, says the London Express, is among the pledges in the windows of a Cardiff pawnbroker, Automobile Hearse in Philadelphin, A Philadelphia undertaker has had “en automobile hearse constructed. QUEER CASE OF CHINAMAN, Lan B. Dew Barred Out of This Coune try, Although an Amer- iean Citizen, A peculiar question has arisen in the case of a Chinaman, Lan B. Dew, a resident of Staunton, Va. Dew had been in this country about 18 years, had accumulated considerable prop- erty in the Virginia°town and was well regarded by the citizens there. Some time ago he took out natural- ization papers and supposed himself a citizen of the United States. | He decided later to visit his home | in China, and made application to the state department for a passport, which was sent him, the officials not recognizing his nationality by his name. With the passport in his pos- session Dew sailed away, and ‘in course of time returned by way of Canada. At Montreal he was in- formed by the United States Chinese {inspectors that he could not enter the '| United States, as he had not complied with the law by taking with him an’ official certificate showing that h was entitled to return. > Dew’s wife and children are still at Staunton, and while his admission in- ! to the United States would be a tech- nical violation of law, Assistant Secre- tary Taylor has ordered the United States inspectors in Canada to per- mit him to return to his home. His case will be passed upon by the offi- cials hefe. The cases of nine other Chinamen iof Jacksonville, Fla. have been brought to the attention of the de- partment. They had been residents | of Jacksonville nine years and had accumulated consideraine property in the laundry business. Some days ago a United States marshal arrested them on the ground that they were illegal- ly in this country. The Chinamen said their certificates had been lost, | and as they could not produce them | they were thrown in jail. Many cit- izens of Jacksonville ‘have protested | against the action of the marshal. The department has had a number of cases recently of Chinese being ar- | rested without sufficient cause, and in | some cases it is thought the arrests | Were made to enable the arresting of- , ficer to get a free ride to San Fran- | cisco and return in case they were or- dered deported.. These » suspected cases will be very carefully looked in- | to hereafter bythe Washington au | thorities. * IS FOUND FAULTLESS. | Consul at Frankfort Writes That Ger- man Analysis of American Lard Proves It an Excellent Article. “The agrarians and some butchers of Germany are trying to create a popular prejudice against the cons sumption of American meats and par-. ticularly of American lard,” writes’ Consul General Guenther from Frank-, fort. “The report of the board of chemical examiners 01 the city of Ulm (charged with the examination of adi. pose substances or fettwaaren) is of interest in this connection, The re- port covers the examinations of the last two years, and after stating that the customs authorities are required . to take samples of all large shipments of foreign ‘butter, cheese, margarine, and hog’s lard, and have them exam. ined, it says: ‘Samples of. American. lard are often received, taken from shipments amounting to several hun- dreds of pounds.

Fountain, of the Eighth vavalry, and Capt. Foster, of the Fifth cavalry, have gone to New York to make final arangements for a supply of “emergency rations.” About a year ago a board of olfficers, consisting of Col. Dempsey and Capts. Fountain and Foster, was conyened for the pur: pose of inquiring into and deciding up- on a ration for enlisted men which can be used in an emergency. Manufac- turers of food products in all parts of the country were invited to submit samples of concentrated foods which , could be used for such purposes. All samples submitted were subject: ed to rigid tests. The desideratum | aimed at was, in brief, a minimum of space combined with a maximum of sustaining qualities. After months of experiment it was finally decided that a preparation of. parched wheat com- bined with a certain proportion of evaporated animal food would sustain life best with the least possible loss of | weight and energy. To this’ combina- | tion was added a cake of sweetened | chocolate, and the whole ration, sufii- | cient for one day, was inclosed in a her: metically sealed receptacle. The officers of the board tested the value of the ration by living upon it themselves for several consecutive days. Now they have been ordered to continue the tests. With this end in view they proceed at once to Oklahoma, where there are tavo troops of cavalry. Tt is the purpose of Capts. Fountain and Foster—Col. Dempsey has been «de- tached from the board—to invite vol-’ unteers from these cavalry troops to accompany them for a week, ten days, or two weeks, for the purpose of test- If it is found that the men can live upon it without great loss of weight or energy, it will be adopted by the de- partment. It is not the purpose, how- ever, to substitute this ration for the egular food supply of the American soldier. But men in service will be sup- plied with two, three, five, or more of these rations when on special service. They will be allowed to use them only when it is found impossible to secure other food. In other words, it is an “emergency” ration, and severe punish- ment will be meted out to the soldier’ who uses it except in cases of extreme emergency. EXPORTS OF AMERICAN COAL. During 1900 They Axe Likely toReach the $20,000,000 Mark, Against $10,000,000 in 1896, Exports of cecal from the United States during 1900 are likely to reach $20,000,000, against $10,000,000 in 1896 and $6,000,000 in 1890. Figures of the bureau of statistics show the exports of coal during the Seyen months end- Ang with July last are 50 per ¢ent. in exces§ of those of last year .and double those of 1898. In the seven months ending with July, 1898, the exports of coal were 2,375,451 tons; in 1899 they were 3,006,082 tons, and in 1900 4,601,755 to ~ During the period from 1890 to 1900 the exportation of coal has quad- rupled, but the principal growth has been in the years 1898, 1899 and 1900. While this growth is perceptible in the exports to all parts of the world, it is especially marked with reference to the American countries. To British North America the ex- ports of 1898 were 1,783,398 tons and in 1900 3,253,803 tons. To Mexico in 1898, 243,938 tons; in 1900,» 415,834 tons. To Cub& the exports have more than doubled. In 1898 they were 114,655 tons and in 1900 241,712 tons, while to Porto Rico they increased from 2,621 tons in-1898 to 15,313 tons in 1900. To the Hawaiian islands the exports of 1899 were 10,381 tons and in 1900 21,001 tons, thus more than doubling. -in a single year. To the Philippine-islands the exports of 1898 were 4,810 tons, while in 1900 they were 41,063 tons, GOULDS SAVE BONIS HOME, | Count de Castellame’s Pressing Cred- itors Sald.to Have Ecen Paid by His Wite’s Family. te It is now Known why the sale pf Count Castellane’s castle was’ coun- termanded. Countess Anna, though pecially her sister Helen, and ebtain trip to New York for that purpose some months ago, decided to make a last appeal, and her-distress was so pitiful that Edwin Gould was touched and he finally prevailed upon George. The brothers then sent for Count Boni, and after imposing upon him some rather severe conditions put up enough money to pay the main cred- itors and stop the sale. Some well-informed ° friends allege that Count Boni, when he saw how desirous the Gould family was. to pre: vent the scandal of a sale under the ation and refused to accept any helr | unless his whole debts were wiped out. ‘The same people further affirm that George Gould refused. to trust the money in the count’s hands and paid | the creditors himself, the sum thus | (about $1,600,000). up by an engine, advanced aggregating 8,000,000 francs Hi ee: TISTICS. ©ld Chap Mingle In a Mathe-. mutien)] Matter, young man who was trying to sell typewriting machines, relates the New |) York Sun, “how far a typewriter’s | fingers travel—one of those pretty type | writers, you know, whose fingers are like fairy touches? No? Well, here are the figures: Say she writes 40 words a minute, which is slow enough, her fin- gers cover half an inch for each key she strikes, and averaging five letters to the word this will give 200 half inches to the minute, or 6,000 tothe hour. Now say she works six hours a day uninter- | ruptedly, which is more than she ever does, her fingers go through 3,000 feet of space each day, and for 26 working days of the month they travel a little less than 15 miles, or let us say, even 15 miles a month. That is'pretty fair traveling for those with dainty fingers, | isn’t it?” “Huh,” grumbled a grouty old chap, | “that’s nothing. Did you ever notice the pink and white peachblow jaw of. Heaven's best gift to man? No? Well, observe, if you please the distance it travels in a month. Allowing three- quarters of an inch for each word spok- en, and 150 words to the minute, which I make thus small in order to be fair | to the ladies, for a man will talk 200 words a minute on the floor of the house of representatives, her jaw will pass through 112 inches per minute, that is 6,720 inches, or660 feet per hour. Allowing now eight hours for sleep, there are 18 hours when she talks, which gives 11,080 feet, about two miles per day, and she talks every day in the | month, or 30 times two miles, which is. ; 60 miles that that pink and white vision | of peachblow loveliness swings through | every month in the year, and a little more when the month happens to have 31 days in it. Now my little jug of frankincense and myrrh, what have you got to say about the dainty fingers of your flying phantom?” SQUELCHED BY WIDOW’S PIG. | The Montana Statesman Got Mixed Up in @ Story Intended to Hart David B. Bill, Myron Haskins, of Philadelphia, has been relating a few reminiscences of past national conventions, and in that connection was reminded of a funny anecdote in which Martin Maginnis, former delegate in congress from Montana, was concerned. Just prior to the democratic convention of 18838, which nominated Cleveland and Thur- man, David B. Hill, then governor of New York, was supposed to have pres- idential aspirations. In order to squelch them Hill’s enemies started a} story to the effect that he had been @ prime mover in a scheme to extract money for campaign purposes from the laborers on the new aqueduct by means of a rafile for a pig, which waa held at the home of a Widow Magin- nis. When the convention met “the | Widow Maginnis’ pig” was a phrase in | everyone’s mouth. Gen. “Pat” Col- lins, of Boston, was chairman of the convention, and in its early hours a member of the Montana delegation, which had an obscure position, climbed up on his chair and secured recognition. Collins did not know him personally, and naturally asked him to state his name. was the answer, followed by a deaf- ening roar. It was too pat. and though he struggled manfully, Martin Maginnis jwas unable to make “that speech. Ilis voice was drowned by inquiries as to what had become of the pig. 2 TRADE OF TIENTSIN. It Is One of the Most Important Com- mercial Cities of the Chinese Coast. The bund, or water front, gives’ one some adequate idea of the commercial importance of Tientsin. The cecks of Liverpoo! or New York, although many times greater in extent, are not more crowded and busy. Here the lighters, anchored in the river, just across the way from the great ware- houses, are loaded. with cargo to be sent out or which:has just been re- ceived from the ships at Taku.
