CONFERENCE ON INTERNATIONAL AR-
BITRATION TO BE HELD.
Will Bo Held In April Maajr Cltlea Have

Plan rrofweed Waahlnto the Plaea.
, ' Aa interesting meeting was held
gently in Waehmgton ot the committee
appointed lately to 00 -operate with aim
ilar committor in other cities in for
therance ot the plan tor a permanent
treaty of arbitration between Ureal Brit
Bin and the United States.
This plan, inaugurated by members
of the New York ohumber of oommerca,
bas met with lunch favor. Committees
have been organised in Chicago and
New York, and it ia proposed to take
like action in Boston and Philadelphia
and elsewhere aa soon aa possible.
Bventually it is hoped the system of ar
bitration proposed may be extended to
all the civilised nations, as weu
Great Britaiu.
There was an interesting general die
onasion of the mode of procedure and the
scope ot the plan of arbitration, in
which men of the wide experience in
diplomatic affairs of Mr. J. W. Foster
and Mr. Johu A. K arson were able to
make many valuable suggestions.
It is proposed to have a conference in
Washington in April, at which delegates
from each of the states and territories,
independent of party or creed, will be
present.. Dr. Cbaniberlin of New York
has been iu consultation with members
of congress, with a view of ascertaining
the most available men for delegates in
each section. He spoke of having re
ceived very hearty encouragemeut from
members ot congress whom be had met.
The arrangements will be in charge of
executive committees of five from each
local committee, and at the conference
the whole coorse of action will be set
tled opon.
The meeting was most satisfactory in
showing that the co-operative movement
for general arbitration will receive a
very hearty and influential backing in
the city of Washington.
In .the course uf the meeting lit.
Chamberlin gave an intelligent exposi
tion of the plan and progress of the
movement. He said in this connection:
The Kpontaneons, independent move
ments in Chicago, Philadelphia, Balti
more, New York and other places in
the interests of a permanent provision
for some wise methods of arbitrstion
between the United States and Great
Britain have now become one enthpsi
astio movement in favor of a national
conference. The purpose of the confer
ence is both patriotic and philanthropic.
It is clearly understood that there are
questions, such as those of national sov
ereignty and the integrity of the na
tional domain, which no state will con
sent to arbitrate, but for the great olass
of disagreements which are debatable.
and which the asnal methods of diplo
macy fail to adjust, there well may be
a resort to an arbitrating tribunal in
stead of the waste and bitterness of war.
It wonld appear, moreover, that a
noble step in the advance of civilization
would be taken, should there be be
tween the two great nations which are
akin in language, jurisprudence, legal
methods and essential love of right a
treaty of arbitration, designating the
class of issues to be referred and deter
mining certain methods of procedure iu
constituting and convening the tribu
nal, as well ascertain essential rules gov
erning the presentation of evidence.
There wonld thus be a presumption
and practical facility favorable to arbi
tration snch as do not now exist and
have not heretofore existed. The whole
effect wonld certainly be on the side of
peace with honor and justice with good
will . .
It is not too much to say tbat snch a
treaty or convention between this coun
try and Great Britain would tend to
ward tbe adoption ot international ar
bitration throughout the civilised world.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly direrted. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
aiutcness are not, one w any bciuui uib
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, riyrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes, y That is -why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemea so nigniy oy an
who value good health. It beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it ia the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists. :. .
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the meet skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largwly
Jmmd and gives most general satisfaction.

The apparatus consists of a woodeu
frame about six Inches square, which
fits exactly ou the head of the grave.
Inside this framework ia an Tngeutous
piece of niechaulsui with an arrnnsr
uient of cogs and pulleys which arc
worked by hydraulic power. The uin-

draulic cylinder, filled with chemically
pure glycerine, a non-freezing com

number of years. All the active parts
are within the frame, and are made
either of steel or of bronze. This iu-
sures lightness and durability.
At a burial the framework is placet)

NOVEL HEADACHE CURE.
Which Prove That It'a aa 111 Wlad That
Blow Kooody Good.
The latest "cure" suggested for tbe
relief of headache is a hair cut. A cer
tain physician in London bas met with
great success lately in his treatment of
persistent cases of nervous headaches,
and he has finally disclosed tbe secret.
In each case, be says, after tbe patient
had laid bare a long tale of woe of
sleepless nights and miserable days be
prescribed, briefly, a simple -hair cnt. It
is not necessary that tbe bair should be-
cropped off short, after the fashion of
convicts.
Tbe curative property of the treatment
is based on the fact that tbe tube which
ia contained in each single hair ia sever
ed in tbe process, aud the brain
"bleeds," as tbe barbers say, thereby
opening a safety valve for the congested
cranium. A commentator in the London
society press, in referring to this cure,
says: ...
'Try the cure wben next attacked by
headache, and if the result be not satis
factory rest assured tbat it is not tbe
fault of tbe prescription, but that the
head is so wooden that it 'wooden 't' act. "

antipedes. Tbe contract was between
him and J. M. Smart of Melbourne,

Perhaps the result of ihe Vanesnela
boundary commission 'a work will be
the solving of one ot tbe most remark
able geological enigmas in the world
and the exploration of what is regarded
asanniqne natural wonderland. This
remarkable region ia a number of ele
vated and isolated areas ot land, situ
ated ou what tbe British cull British
Gniana'a southwestern boundary, which
is in the disputed territory; It is on the
British lido ot the Schombntgk line.
A British Gaiann newspaper describes
this region, as far as it is known, and
expresses the hope that the final settle
ment of the boundary controversy will
leave it well within British bounds.
Should there be another result, bow
ever, the newspaper Bays, the region
should be made an international park, ;
something on the plau of the Yellow
stone park reservation.
Tbe region is called by the Indiana
"Roraima," but the several isolated
areas are known by distinctive names.
Each consists ut what might be called
an isolated mountain, dm is reany a
tableland, comprising an area 01 iuo or
more square miles, eievatea several
thousand ' feet above tbe surrounding
country. The rocky sides of the moun
tains ate as perpendicular as tbe Hud
son river Palisades and entirely bare of
vegetation and have defied all attempts
to scale them. The level summits are
covered with trees and other vegetation,
and down the rocky sides fall a large
number of cascades of considerable tiae,
indicating the certain existence of riv
ers and streams on the mysterious sum
mits, and probably of lakes that feed
the rivers. The summits have been ob
served with telescopes, and are known
ta be as full of plant life as the tropic
al plains below, bnt beyond this nothing
is known.
Because so little is known of the con
dition of these tablelands occasion ia
given for all manner ot speculation as
to what exists there. That the vegeta
tion is quite different from that ou the
plntns below theveJeacop arrows, and
tbat it should be an Is quite natural, as
tbe tablelands are 1,000 or more feet
higher than the plains. While the cli
mate ot tbe plains is tropical, that of
the tablelands must bo temperate, not
only because of tbeir elevation, bnt also
because of the free play the winds have
about them.
Ot tbe geology of the region this ex
planation is given : This part of South
America rose slowly from the sea,
tbroogh successive and remote ages. Tbe
Roraima mountains were formed pre
cisely as was tbe rest of the land, and
are not tbe result of volcanio action.
Hence they mnst have been above tbe
ocean long before tbe surrounding
plains appeared. Tbey stood 2,000 feet
above the sea level when the neighbor
ing mountain tops were bnt islands in
tbe ocean. In tbe course of a period,
difficult to appreciate, the adjacent val
leys and plaius appeared above the wa
ter and became covered with vegetation
and animal life. But the isolated pla
teaus of Roraima had a tremendous start
of tbe plains below. Here comes tbe al
leged ground for the speculation that
perhaps on these mysterious summits
there exist flora and fauna unlike any
fonud elsewhere, forms of life tbat long
since disappeared from other parts of
tbe world, but remained tbe same on
these summits because unaffected by the
influences of. communication with tbe
outer world. All sorts of wild gnesse
have been hazarded regarding the exist
ence of strange reptiles and animals
among tbe streams and forests of Ro
raima. Tbe cascades falling from tbe sum
mits are among tbe highest in tbe
world. One is 3,000 feet bigb, and is
broad enough to be visible
80 miles
away. : It falls sheer, without a break.
The mountains from which these cas
cades fall form the dividing watersheds
of tbe Amazon, the Orinoco and the
Essequibo, tbe three great rivsrs of
South America, and the waters of the
cascades flow some to one and tome to
another of these rivers. It is argued
tbat to supply these waterfalls there
must be a considerable body of water
on the mountain plateans, and it is nat
ural to conclude tbat where there are
large bodies of water there are fish and
reptiles. : The resulting conclusion that,
because these nb and reptiles must
have been isolated on the mountain
tops for ages they are likely to be dif
ferent from any known species, is re
garded as quite natural. The mountain
plateaus form practically little countries
by themselves like islands, bnt more
isolated because the ocean of air tbat
surrounds them does not afford the fa
cilities for communication with other
Islands that the waters of tbe ocean do.
One of these plateans, known as Eu
kenham, which is better situated for ob
servation than any of the others, is esti
mated to have an area of 200 square
miles or more. Tbe smallest, which
bears the name common to the group,
Roraima, is estimated to contain 80 to
140 square miles. - -
The story of this mysterious region is
not new, at least in British Guiana. It
is many years since any scientific men
were in the region, bnt chance travelers
and gold prospectors happen there at
odd times, and when they return to
Demerara they add their little store of
information aud mystification to the
rest. Schomburgk pointed out the great
importance of the region to Great Brit
ain, as it is tbe dividing watershed, bnt
tbe writer in the British Guiana news
paper does not say whether the explor
ing botanist bad much to say about the
wonders and mysteries of tha Roraima
region. New York Sun. , ;
A correspondent writes tbat about six
years ago he saw an item in a newspa

STORIES OF THE PAY.
aWmarkahle Weather Pheaoaeeaa I"
BMtaat la .
A curious phenomenon occurred at
Hartford tbe other night, resulting from
a high wind and a slight fall of moist
mow on an ioy surface. Tub wind
caught the auow and rolled it np into
thonsanda ot snowballs. Hundreds of
balls were whirled np and sent rolling
along, gathering snow a each turn and
each leaving Its marked trail behind.
The wide elope ot land surrounding
Trinity college was one field ot rolliug
ennwhalla. Dr. Samuel Hart thus de
scribes the pheuomeuou i
"The rotary wind flaw catches the
rnow and rolls It up like a muff in cy
lindrical form. Most that I saw were
about eight iuches.wide and eight inches
in diameter, hollowed at the two ends.
They are in effect isosceles triangles of
uow rolled np on the vertex. "
The same phenomenon occurred about
19 yeara ago. Some of tbe wind made
snowballs were as large as half barrels.
Chicago was visited by a most singu
lar meteorological phenomenon a few
nights since. Black snow, yellow snow
and brown suow toll in blinding clouds
over the entire city, aud reports from
suburban towns brought tbe newt that
the varicolored storm was not an exclu
sive Chicago production.
Tbe chief of ths weather bnrean at
Washington says:
"Tbe black snow that has lately fallen
in Chicago and the northwest is similar

suggestion tbat the black deposit on last

Dark snow fell in many localities in
Indiana recently. It varied in color from
brown to jet black.
A remarkable atmospherio phenome
non occurred early the otber morning
over the ocean near Cape May. The
frosty air there was filled for some 90
feet deep with ice crystals, tha frozen
evaporation ot the warmer water ot the

ot drifting snow were present. On this
bank the shipping of tbe offing seemed
to glide in aud out ot the bay like fig

A remarkable phenomenon was wit
nessed at Chicago tbe otber night for
which the United State signal service
can offer no solution or reason. It was
a dust storm which prevailed until fur
in the night in the midst ot a snow
I storm. Everything touched was be
smeared with n dark brown substance,
which was clearly dirt ot some sort, bnt
just what no one was able to say.
This dust storm began about SO mln-
ntes to 7 o'clock and was at first rather
violent, the wind being strong, bnt after
an hour or so subsided somewhat. Be-'
ports from southern Winconsin, eastern
Iowa and western Indiana show tbat tbe
storm also prevailed tbero.
In some ot tbe placet where tbe storm
prevailed tbe brown dust covered tbs
snow to tbe depth ot an eighth of an
inch. New York Herald. :
The last few days, whenever snow bas
fallen in Salt Lake City, a white sedi
ment has been left wherever tbe snow
touched. There bas been much speoala
lion as to tbe actual cause; tbe local
scientists have been and are now divided
npon tbat point. There are those who
insist that tbe sediment was taken np
from tbe bosom of Great Salt Lake.
There are others who believe the deposit
is sulphate of soda, which is thrown np
on the shores of Gteat Salt Luke daring
tbe winter by tbe action of the cold
weather on tbe briny waters. Be tbat a
as it may, tbe bouses facing north, th
Btireet car windows and every piece of
glass exposed bas become incrostcd. Pe
destrians who happened to be out in tha
storm did not notice anything out of the
way until their clothing dried, when it
was discerned that the apparel was lib
erally sprinkled with what appeared to
be salt. The deposit is of a taline nature.
Tbat was discovered by the application
of the tongue.
It it a phenomenon that frequently oc
curs in Salt Lake City, and especially
