Should tke Bavarian deputies indorse the action just taken by the upper house in deciding to place the insane King Otto under guardiamship and transfer the crown to the madman’s uncle, Prince Luitpold, regent and heir presumptive, this royal maniac will lose entirely the fictitious bauble of kingly authority which he has mnever been permitted to excrcise. Thestory of the mad monarch’s life reads like some strange tale of the middle ages. . Qtto is now 46 yeéars old and has been insane more than half of his life. He nominally succeeded to the throne June 18, 1886, when his hrother, King Ludwig ll—who had been deposed three days before because his insanity had become 'unendurable—committed suicide by drowning himself in the lake of Starnberg, in the park of Berg castle, to which he had been removed for safe keeping. Ludwig had been crazy for years upon music and palaces. King Otto mnever actually reigned. Prince Luitpold, his uncle, was appointed regent when King Ludwig was dethroned and has been the real ruler ever since then. - -

Otto has long been confined 'in the castle of ‘Fuerstenried, in the midst of a dense forest, not far from Munich. The most disagreeable task a Bavarian soldier has to perform is to do garrison duty there, the gloom of the surroundings being intensified by the dreadful appearance of the mad monarch. His hair is long and unkempt, and his bushy brown beard reaches bLelow his waist. His eyes are usually fixed on empty space. 'He is always dressed in black broadcloth. -At one time he fancied that his carpets were made of the finest glass, and that it was dangerous to tread on them. He would not be content until they were all taken up. Another hallucination was that the walls of his apartments were hung with newspapers. He would sit for hours facing a wall, reading aloud what he imagined he found in those newspapers. He smoked something like a hundred cigarettes a day at last accounts, using up a box of matches to light each one, taking childish enjoyment in the flash and crackle of the little bits of wood. Once it occurred to him that it would be amusing to shoot peasants, and he sat at a window all day long with a gun, watching like a hunter for his game. His attendants would load the gun with peas instead of - buckshot, and ‘a man in peasant’s dress would pass within range occasionally. The king would shoot, the man would drop, and the apparently lifeless body would be removed by guards.

CONGRESSMAN CONN, PUBLISHER. éx interesting Sketch of the Man Who Has Bought a Washington Daily. Representative Conn of Elkhart, Ind., has purchased the Washington Times, a paper that was started here a few moénths ago by members of the Typographical union, but has made very little headway. After being assessed $5 or $lO every week for several months to make up deficiencies the stockholders got weary of their enterprise; and at their last meeting decided to sell out, whereupon Mr. Conn, who is a millionaire and already owns several newspapers innorthern Indiana, agreed to take the burden off their hands, pay an appraised price for the plant and settle all the debts of the concern. A - ~ Mr. Conn is a notable and eccentric character, and his history is & romance. A few years ago he had a bench in the corner of a jewelry store in Elkhart, ‘where he mended watches, clocks and musical instruments. One day while repairing a tuba an idea occurred to him that was worth several million dollars and resulted in the invention of a rubber mouthpiece for musical wind instru“iments, which was patented and immediately adopted all over the world. This lucky little hit made Mr. Conn’s fortune. At Elkhart he established one of the largest factories in the world for the manufacture of brass and silver musical instruments, which is run on the co-operative plan, and the profits are divided between himself and his employees. - He has been mayor of the town several times and can come to congress from that district as long as he likes. He believes in organized labor and stands half way between the Democratic ‘and Populist parties. He is against the administration, particularly its silver policy, and his object in buying the paper is to establish here an organ to ex,press the sentiments of those who believe in silver money. It is said, too, that he intends to make a very lively paper, something "in the sensational line, which will be a new thing in Washington. —Washington Letter

Light on the Ways of Nature.

This is the season of the: year when the festive small boy ties the June bug with a thread around the hind leg and lets him brizz.

There is nothing so annoying to a dog as the buzzing of a June bug, and the small boy knows it, and his young hears is glad that it is so. Every time he finds a vagrant dog he pulls the June bug out of a miscellaneous array of articles in his trousers pocket and pute him to buzzing around the dog’s ears. The dog immediately gets down to business on his haunches and furiously scratches fleas from behind his ears.

People who pass the dog and the boy got fleas on them, and for that reason flea time comes along, nip and tuck, with the time of the musical June bug. ~—Florida Times-Union. :

DO NOT KILL THEM. BIRDS THAT ARE REAL AIDS TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS. The Harm They Do Is Small Compared to the Good They Accomplish—Even the Much - Abused Hawk and Owl Render Valuable Service and Do Slight Harm. - “No decent person who knows the value of birds that sing, whether their notes be harsh or sweet voiced, will ever kill a singing bird,’’ said a naturalist. ““Thousands of birds that ar&®of inestimable value to the farmer as well as to the town dweller who grows fruit or keeps a garden are slaughtered ruthlessly every year. - “The farmer, the gardener and the fruit grower should know more about the birds that nest and sing and flit about their premises, for then they would defend and protect them and in' time have them back in something like their old time numbers and variety. How often nowadays does one see the saucy, rich voiced, nervous little wren? A few years ago it was seen and heard everywhere, buf it must be a favored locality that it visits now. Yot the little Wwren was a most ravenous devourer of the pestiferous and destructive cutworm of the gardens and did great work toward lessening the damage done by the pest of the soil. The bright little bluebird clears the air and the ground of thousands of codlin moths and cankerworms during a season. “The crow blackbird has no peace at the hands of man, yet a flock of them in a short time will clear a newly planted field of all- its hosts of destructive larvee that the plow turns up. The great American crow itself would do the same thing if it wasn’t for the inevitable man with a gun that just wants the crow to try it once. Neither the blackbird nor the crow cares as much for corn as it does for grubs, and if farmers would scatter corn about their fields instead of putting up scarecrows and the like those misunderstood birds would never pull up a hill of his planting. The chances are anyhow that if the agriculturist will take the trouble to examine a hill of young corn that he charges the crow with pulling up he will find thatit was cut off by a grub of some kind, and that the crow was simply mining for the grub, not the corn. i ' “‘The robin, it cannot be denied, is a sore trial to the man who has fruit trees and bushes, but if he could only bring himself to stop and think how many thousands of ravaging insects that ‘are the especial enemies of his trees and ‘bushes that the robin destroys, both before the fruit has ripened: and for weeks “after it is gone, he would not begrudge the bird the few quarts of cherries or berries that it levies on as partial satisfaction of the debt the grower owes “him. The same may be said of the other thrushes—for the robin is a thrush—‘the cherry birds, orioles, blue jays and ‘many other birds of that class. These ‘birds never levy tribute on grain or 'seeds, but they do the farmer untold benefit. i

“‘The climbing birds are the different varieties of woodpeckers, and they are constantly befriending growing things. Whenever a woodpecker is heard tapping on a tree, it is the deathknell of the larvae of some destructive insect. Yet it is not an uncommon thing to see the very person for whom this bird is industriously at work following with his gun the bird’s red head from tree to tree until the opportunity comes for him to send a load of shot into the unsuspecting feathered philanthropist. It is a pet belief among farmers that the woodpecker kills the tree it works on, and that he is working for.that very purpose. It is a fact that the common little sapsucker does injure trees, but the woodpecker never does. Quite the contrary. The white breasted nut hatch and the little ‘gray creeper—so generally confounded with the sapsucker—llive exclusively on tree insects, yet the nut hatch is in bad repute among many farmers because they believe it kills their bees. . |

““The meadow lark is another bird that has little peace on any one’s land, for there is a mistaken notion abroad that he is a game bird. ‘He is game in the quality of being alert and hard to get a shot at, but is no more entitled to be so classified than the flicker or highholder is. The meadow lark is a constant feeder on underground larvee, and whatever he is disturbed he is simply driven away from active work in ridding the ground of the worst kinds of farm pests. The blue: jay may be said to be indirectly an enemy to the farmer as well as a friend, for it has the bad habit of destroying the eggs of other birds that do only good. - - .

““If there is one bird that the farmer loves to do all in his power to exterminate more than he does the crow, unless it may be- the hawk, that bird is the owl. He can’t be brought to the belief that if it were not for the owls and the hawks his fields would be overrun and burrowed by field mice to such an extent that his crops would be in perpetual danger; that owls, while out mousing, feed on myriads of night flying moths and beetles, thus preventing the laying of millions upon millions of the eggs of these insects, and that they not only keep the field mice down, but lessen the number of domestic mice and rats about barns and outhouses to an extent that a small army of the most vigilant cats could not surpass.. As to the hawk, the farmer remembers that on some occasion one carried off achicken for him, and therefore the fact that the big soaring bird daily kills many field mice,-grasshoppers, snakes, lizards, beetles and other vermin cannot be set up in its defense. The proportion of hawks or owls that kill chickens is small compared with those who keep down the deadly enemies of the farmer’s crops.’—Ezxchange.

Nonconformists Charge That Rosebery Has Degraded English Statesmanship. A ridiculous attack has been made upon Lord Rosebery becanse he happened to be the fortunate owner of a Derby winner. The word has gone forth to every large and small bethel that ““the nonconformist conscience will not, long tolerate a racing premier.’’ Every tub thumping Stiggins has howled at the noble earl for daring to say in a speech to the Eton college boys that he was .not ashamed of owning a good horse. Even the newspapers which regularly quote the odds have joined in the outcry, and every mail brings his lordship hundreds of letters from meddling zealots, warning him that his patronage of horse racing is daily driving many souls to perdition. Radical parsons and puritanical lay partisans have deluged the Liberal headquarters at Westminster with epistolary protests to the same effect, and there is talk of convening ‘‘a national convention’’ for . the purpose of protesting against ‘‘the shameful degradation of English statesmanship,’’ from all of which it will be gathered that Great Britain has envered into one of those periodical virtuous spells which have long been the scorn and wonder of foreigners. Lord Rosebery is said to be amazed and indignant at the outburst and to have threatened toretire in disgust from public life. But thisis all nonsense, because, after all, the present outery is merely a louder repetition of that which occurred when, with the commencement of the flat racing season, the puritans saw that the premier had no intention of quitting the turf. Besides he ought to know perfectly well that the nonconformists are simply suffering from a temporary moral spasm, and that in the estimation of the vast majority of people he has gained a new title to leader-ship-by winning the Derby. * All the party managers admit today that Rosebery’s character as an honorable, highly successful sportsman, indorsed as it has been by the victory of the horse upon which the masses had put their money, will stand him in good stead with thousands of electors who do not care a cent for politics, but vote according to impuse.—London Cor.

Auction Sales.

Sales by auction, so far from being an invention of late years, were known as far back as the time of the Romans. It is supposed by some that they chiefly used the plan to dispose of the spoils taken in war.. -As these sales were said to take place under the spear, it is fair to conclude that they stuck a long spear in the ground to mark the place where the sale would be held. It was long the custom in England to mark the time during which bids might be offered by burning an inch of candle, the last offer before the light went out being of course the one that took the article on sale. This custom led many to make no bid until the candle was nearly outgand many often delayed so long that the end of the flame still found them silent.—Bt. Louis Globe-Demo-crat. .

F WAR'S NEW TERRORS.

Devices For Slaughter That Are Almost Be- : yond Imagination’s Grasp. °

Tndications are that when two European armies eventually meet on the field, if the war talk ever resolves itself into actual conflict, a good many men will faint away in terror of their adversaries. The ‘‘inventions’’ which have been brought out lately in France, Germany and Austria, and which have been purchased by the governments of those countries, are innumerable, and every one of them is designed to slaughter human life at a rate that appals the imagination. The most intense and theatric secrecy is maintained concerning all these inventions, and only a few general facts regarding them have been made public. The German army, it is understood, is armed with rifles which will send a bullet through four men standing one behind the other at a distance of 214 miles from the rifle. 'Austria has a machine gun which shoots several thousand bullets a minute, which is operated by steam and controlled by a single gentleman with a waxed mustache and a monocle in his left eye, who lightly turns a crank. At least this is the condition of things according to the latest illustrated journals at hand. The man with the eyeglass can turn the crank fast -enough to sweep 30,000 or 40,000 men into eternity during the luncheon hour.

Incidentally a German tailor has invented a coat that makes the wearer absolutely indifferent to bullets at any range, and the Italians have machines for throwing very small and almost invisible torpedoes a distance of nearly a quarter of a mile. The torpedoes describe a parabola in the air, drop into the camp of the enemy and explode with force enough to kill 100 or more soldiers if they happen to be in the vicinity. Great humbers of them can be thrown at .a time, and a pleasing and cheerful feature of it is that there are no disagreeable odors nor any smoke whatever when the explosion occurs. M. Turpin of France is the latest hero in this direction. He has invented something which is so altogether awful that the taxpayers have requested the government to give M. Turpin a great amount of money, so that he will not turn his machine over to the Germans. This machine is operated by electricity, ‘and, according to its inventor, it is of so terrible a nafure that it will do away with all fortifications throughout the civilized world. This is merely a detail of the execution which this machine is expected to accomplish. Forts will be of no use, because M. Turpin’s machines would rend them all into atoms, and at a distance of several miles a man can mow down the enemy at the rate of 20,000 at an engagement. The facts are inspiring, but there is a lack of detail about them which is in accordance with much of the literature which has. lately been put forth by the various Munchausens among -the war officers of Europe. The Turpin invention so far outstrips everything else, according to the critics of modern warfare, that it will insure universal peace. One machine alone is enough to devastate a country. —New York Sun.

MEANING OF A REBUKE. The Aldermen and a Daily Paper of Chicago ‘ Condemn Mr, Pullman. It need not be assumed that the 62 aldermen who unanimously passed the order directing the mayor to issue ‘‘an appeal tto the people of the city of Chicago for the assistance’’ of the Pullman strikers were impelled to that action by humane regard for the sufferings of the strikers or an ethical regard for the equities of their case. No such hypothesis is necessary. Doubtless some of the aldermen . took this high ground, but they may or may not have been a majority. It matters not at all which. But it should be remarked that your Chicago alderman is the keenest observer of public opinion and the shrewdest judge of ‘its trend, which means that when the 62 aldermen who were present in council Monday night unanimously and without regard to party voted this implied rebuke to George M. Pullman they were convinced that they spoke the sentiments of a large majority of the population of Chicago; that they knew the people of this community condemned Pullman and indorsed the strike and the strikers. :

And the aldermen were entirely correct.—Chicago Times. ;

A White Baboon.

' The white baboon which recently arrived in England is a representative of a species extremely rare—so rare indeed that not only is this the only specimen in captivity, but its existence has been regarded as chimerical. The animal now in England was captured two years ago from its mother when quite a baby, by a party of Trek Boers in the Murchisas range district of Johannesberg. Since that time the baby has developed into a full grown baboon of nearly 4 feet in height. During the voyage from the cape it suffered terribly from seasickness, but has now quite recovered its health and activity. The fur is perfectly white and very long. In spite of its mature age milk is still its favorite food.—London Graphic.

Rosebery’s Ambitions.

Lord Rosebery, who is now 47 years old, is credited with having said one day that he had three ambitions—to be the richest man in England,to be prime minister and to win the Derby. It is understood that he achieved the first ambition by his marriage to the daughter of Baron Meyer de Rothschild, who died in 1890, leaving him master of a handsome estate. The second ambition he has satisfied lately, since the retirement of Mr. Gladstone, and the third with his recent good fortune on the turf. —New York Telegram. {

A GREAT DRAWBACK. Herr Dowe’s Wonderful Coat Not Only Bullet Proof, but Airtight. : . After aseries of thorough tests in Germany and London it has been demonstrated that Herr Dowe’s coat cannot be penetrated by bullets. The impenetrable quality of the stuff is seen in the fact that the German rifle, which can send a bullet at a distance of 100 yards through a thick steel plate, strikes harmlessly against the new coat of mail, which is described as ‘‘a wire netting incased in a cementlike mass.’” So in spite of much misgiving and considerable ridicule of his invention ‘‘the little tailor of Mannheim’’ is on his way to fame and fortune.

There is, however, one great drawback to the success of this invention, which puts its use by soldiers in the field practically out of the question. The coat, which weighs not less than six pounds, is as impervious to air as it is to bullets, and in a great battle more men would be stifled to death or rendered unfit for action by the wearing of such an apparatus over. their breasts than could be saved by it. On ‘going into action the first impulse of the soldier would be to strip off Dowe’s coat and take the chance of a bullet through the breast in preference to suffocation. Highly desirable as it is that the terrible casualties of the battlefield should be lessened as much as possible, the practical utility of this novel armor is extremely doubtful. This, too, seems to be the conclusion of the German military authorities. . On the other hand, it is conceded that Herr Dowe’s invention will be of great value for the construction of light barracks, batteries, army tents and boats and for many other uses in defensive warfare. If it shall possess all the qualities that are claimed for it, the material may largely supplant steel armor for men-of-war. But there are physical laws which make Herr Dowe’s invention of mo value to man or horse on the field of battle. It is not improbable, however, that improvements may remove or greatly lessen the .difficulty of using the stuff as defensive armor for the individual soldier. At any rate, Herr Dowe has invented a material which is impenetrable by bullets, and this cannot be said of steel plates nor of any other known material of defensive armor.—Philadelphia Record.

A TREASURE CAVE. ———— Rediscovered, but It Has Already Caused the Death of Several Explorers, The people of the town of Sabinas and surrounding country to the south of here are excited over the discovery of a bandit’s cave in which a fabulous wealth is believed to be stored. The cave was the rendezvous of the famous b@andit El Colorado and his followers, who terrorized all of northern Mexico about a century ago, It is situated in the Igumana mountains, near Sabinas, and was first discovered three months ago by an old man named Cuevas, who in some manner had just come into possession of a chart giving the location of the cave. He and three sons and four other relatives started to make an exploration of the cave. Inan inner compartment they found a large pile of silver coin of ancient coinage. - They had filled one sack with the money when they were all overcome with the fire damp with which the cave was filled, and only four of the party succeeded in reaching the open air alive. :

| Old man Cuevas was taken very sick as the result of his terrible experience and a few days ago died. On his deathbed he confided to the priest the secret of the' cave, and a party of explorers was: at once organized to visit and secure the treasure. It was headed by Silverio Garza, a prominent citizen of Sabinas. They were all driven out of the cave by the noxious gases, and two of the members of the party have died from the effects of the poison which they inhaled. The news of this second expedition had become public, and the authorities have placed guards at the cave to guard the treasure until further explorations can be made. The general government has been notified of -the situation. —Lampasas (Mexico) Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. :

An Alieged New Metal.

The low price of silver in Paris has stimulated the inventive genius of a manufacturer, who has consequently made a new metal by means of an alloy of copper and silver, using the successful proportions of the two. He has really obtained an entirely new metal, one of a most extraordinary degree of strength and most valuable for resisting sudden or long sustained strains. There seems little doubt that the cost of pro duction will not be so great as to prevent its large use in the future, even should silver greatly increase in value. To the low price of silver will be credited the idea of using it as an amalgam for a specially high class of metal.— London Court Journal.

General Caceres.

General Andres Avelino Caceres, the newly elected president of Peru, has a proud record as a soldier. Hegot a sublieutenancy at the age of 16 and steadily won promotion for gallant conduct on the field. For a year he was military attache, while still young, to the Peruvian legation at Paris and traveled congiderably over Europe. He was second vice president in 1881 and was re-elect-ed to that office by congress in 1888. Chosen president in 1886, he had a difficult task to administer the affairs of a disordered country after defeat by Chile, but he filled the office for the full term with credit.—Chicago Herald.

THE EAGLE’S EYE.

Why It Can See Both Nuarby or Distant Ob- ' Jects Equally Well, i

All birds'of prey have a peculiarity of eye structure that enables them ta gee near or distant objects equally well. An eagle will ascend more than a mile in perpendicular height, and from that elevation can perceive its unsuspecting prey and pounce upon it with unerring certainty. Yet.the same bird can scrutinize with almost microscopic nicety an object close at hand, thus possessing a power of accommodating its sight to distance in a manner to which the human eye is unfitted, and of which it is totally incapable. i ‘ In looking at a printed page we find that there is some particular distance, probably 10 inches, at which we can read the words and see each letter with perfect distinctness, but if the page be ‘moved to a distaiice of 40 inches or brought within a distance of five inches we find it impossible to read it at. all. A scientific man would therefore call 10 inches the focus or focal distance of our éyes... This focus cannot bé altered except by the aid of spectacles. =~ = But an eagle has the power of altering the focus of its eye just as it pleases. It has only to look at an object at the distance of two feet or of two miles in order to see it with perfect distinctness. Of course the eagle knows nothing of the wonderful contrivance that “the Creator has supplied for its accommodation. It employs it instinctively and bécause it cannot help it. The ball of the eye is surrounded by 15 little plates called sclerotic bones. They form a complete ring, and their edges slightly overlap each other. When it looks at a distant object, this little circle of bones expands, and the ball of .the eye, ‘being relieved from the pressure, becontes flatter. - “When it looks at a very near object, the little bones press together, and the ball of the eye is thus squeezed into a rounder or more convex form. ; . :

The effect is very familiar to every one. A person with very round eyes is near sighted, and a person with flat eyes, as in old age, can see nothing except at a distance. The eagle, by the mere will, can make its eyes round or flat and see with equal clearness at any distance. —Philadelphia Times.

The Women of Hellas.

Alas for the Greek ideals! Here is what the women of Hellas look like now, as told by a correspondent: “The women wear short, shapeless tight s'kirts reaching a little above the ankles, made of the same material as their rugs, and a short whitePtunic made of coarse serge. Their hair is worn in a long braid, and to make it reach past the waist they plait in horsehair or black tow and decorate it with cheap coins, beads or coarse, bright cottons. Greek children are pretty, and so are the very young girls, but when they step from childhood to womanhood they soon lose all their good looks. The women toil not; ' neither do théy spin. They are as lazy as the men and seem to have nc higher idea of life than lying in the sun and drinking coffee or cold water. The food is a cross between German and Greek. The bread is black and under: baked, and the butter is churned from sheep’s milk and never gets solid.. The cow is not a milk purveyor in Athens, but a humble beast of toil.
