EXPLANATION TO CJOMEZ. President Taft (Jives Assurance In tervention is Not Intended. Feeling assured that President Gomez has misunderstood the pur pose of the American government in despatching the large naval force now on its way to Key West, the state department, after having in structed American Minister Beaupre at Havana to make plain to the Cu ban government the purpose of the movement, has now left to the dis cretion of Colonel Karmauy, com manding the marine forces of the cruiser Prairie, the extent to which the marines shall be employed. It is believed that as soon as Gomez is aware of the fact that no sinister purpose is behind the Amer ican action, he will no longer object. It is thoroughly appreciated here that the Cuban president must as sume a rather resentful attitude to ward what might appear an invasion of the island, lest the patriotism of the Cubans be stirred to resistance. Should he persist In his objection, however, the American naval com manders will not remain indifferent to the demand of Americans for pro tection where it is clear the Cuban government cannot give it. At Lebanon a team ran away, fell head first into a turntable and then turned over on their hacks. To ex tricate the horses it was necessary to tie their feet together and lift thew out.

It is said that the very act of mov ing :i piano around in a room is sulii cicnt to disturb its tonal qualities. When a piano has been moved into the position for which it is intended, is accustomed to the temperature and the drafts prevalent, it should be tuned, experts say. Any change of tempera ture or movement may cause the strings to contract or expand slightly with the resultant loss or guin of half a semitone. Changing the position of a piano Is said to have almost the same effect ns constant playing, only in the latter case the constant action of the hammers against the strings tends to loosen their adjustment and the Instru ment runs out of tune. ea air has also a detrimental effect on pianos. Here again contraction and expansion of the wires are the chief causes of disturbance. Pianos I constructed for the tropics are much more strongly built than those used in temperate climates. Wood that is not liable to warp tuul crack is used in the sounding lmards; otherwise they have i to be brass bound and stayed to pre vent splitting. New York Sun. Gluttons of the Seas. The pike's reputation for cruelty And voraciousness is such that it has been popularly dubbed the "inner wolf." It is probable, however, that many species of sea fish are eipialiy, if uot a great deal more, r.ipii' iui. Large dogfish, congers, pollack, cod and buss are especially ferocii.i;s, while halibut will very often .-eize and kill other large fish. An English angler was "playing" a large conger when a huge halibut swam up to and savagely bit at it u proceeding that cost the halibut its own life, for ou its making for Hie wounded conger a second time the boatman contrived to gaff and haul it aboard. There have been many ex amples of pike being found dead, chok ed by their own species, and these tish not infrequently atttack another pike that has been hooked by a fisherman. Arsenic Eaters. The average Englishman has a hor ror of arsenic, but the peasantry in Austria-Hungary and other parts of eastern Europe eat it habitually, be lieving that it gives plumpness and beauty to the figure and longness of breath. Peddlers sell while arsenic about the countryside quite without re striction. The quantities taken are small, and so long as the doses are reg ular no illness results. Once they are stopped, however, symptoms of nrse nical poisoning nt once become mani fest. Mountaineers in eastern Europe often take a dose of arsenic before commencing a climb, and it is nlso customary to give it to horses and dogs to give brightness and gloss to their skins. London Chronicle. Meteors. The frequency of meteors is at Its highest toward the end of July and the beginning of August.

One crew wore dark striped jerseys and black hats, and the other ap peared in white shirts, wearing a pluk necktie. The race was rowed in slow, heavy boats, built with high sides, and uquare oars propelled the crews along. No enthusiastic crowds lined the banks of the river nil along the course, and no evening papers, giving the re sult of the race, sold In hundreds of thousands nil over the country when the race was over. Yet this was the beginning of the most popular racing event in the rowing world-the Oxford and Cambridge boat race. The boats used by the eights in those days were clumsy and uncomfortable. Sliding scats were unknown, and the craft were weighed down wilh heavy metal keels. Outriggers-the extended parls of a boat's gunwale, that give a greater leverage were also unheard of. for It was not until ls-lii that they were introduced by the university crews. In 1.S57 keel.ess boats were adopted, and sliding seats were used In them in lST".. Oxford did not adopt the dark blue that Is so well known today until lSSt. when Cambridge appeared In Eton col ors. reiirson's Weekly. SWASTIKA CHARMS. They Must Be Pointed the Right Way to Bring Good Luck. One of the lucky charms most gen erally worn recently was the swas tika. Superstitious wearers would do well to examine their reproductions of It and make sure that they are cor rect in form and material, for Sir George Birdwood, an aulhor'ty on In dian matters, has been giving some in teresting and alarming facts concern ing this nucient and mystic symbol. The right handed swastika that Is, the one whose transom or arm points to the right is the symbol of the sun and of light, of health and happiness nnd other good qualities, and it alone is lucky. It should be fashioned only of gold and colored (if enameled on any other metal) only red, the color of the east, or yellow, the color of the .south. The left handed swastika is the sym bol of the moon and of moonlight, of all darkness and supernatural terrors, of all mortal diseases and disgraces and other forms of ill omen. It should be formed only of silver or colored blue, green, while or black if it Is . xpected to perform Its work in a thoroughly businesslike unlucky way. London Cor. New York Sun. His Incurable Disease. The late John Hay had been ailing one time, and a friend made bold to nsk what the trouble was. "I am suf fering from an Incurable disease." Mr. Hay n plied with due gravity. Deli cacy prevented the friend from mak ing further inquiry, but he told the story to acquaintances, and the report soon spread through Washington that a deadly disease held the secretary of state within its grasp. At last an in timate acquaintance determined to as certain the nature of the secretary's ailment, and, meeting the latter one day, he said: "I have been told that you are suffering from an incurable disease. Is it true?" "It is." said Mr. Hay in n sad tone. "What Is. the in curable disease?" asked the insistent acquaintance. "Old age." said Mr. Ilay, with a chuckle. The Word "Strike." The earliest use of the word "strike" in the sense of stopping work occurs In the London Chronicle for Septem ber, 1703, in connection with a coal strike. This publication reports a great suspension of lalwir In the North umberland coal fields, and the colliers are stated to have "struck out" for a higher bounty before entering Into their usual yearly "bond." The time honored Illustration of profitless labor, "carrying coals to Newcastle," appears to have received Its first slap in the face during this strike. The Chronicle reports that "several pokes of coal were brought from Durham to New castle hy otie of the common carriers and sold on the sand hill for nlnepenee a poke, by which ho cleared sixpence a poke."
