' The death rate at Havana for February, 1899, was 51 per cent less than for February, 189S. Of the 17,000,000,000 letters for-. warded annually in civilized coun tries, the United States contributes 5,000,000,000. ' In Wetzel' County, W. Va., there is a gas well from which the roar of escaping gas can be heard at a distance of six miles. Four oarloada of condensed milk were recently shipped to San Fran cisco to be forwarded to Manila for the use of tbe soldiers there. The loss of live stock in Wyom ing, Montana and tbe Dakotas by the blizzard will be about 39 per cent Northwest Texas . will lose about 50 per cent. Tbe illness of the czar doe not exoite nearly as keen an interest as that of Rudyard Kipling. This ia because there are plenty of czars, but only one Kipling. Reports from the lower Yukon encourage the belief that rich placer and quartz mines exist there on the Americau side, equal in extent and richness to those discovered on the British side. ; . An. English syndicate has pur chased the volcano Popocatepetl, in Mexico, for $250,000, ..The most extensive sulphur deposit in the world is located in tbe crater, , and the syndicate proposes, to develop it." ' " . . ' ': , Two naval officers have just de clined promotion, one because be thought he did not justly deserve it, the other for the reason that he disliked to retard the progress of a class mate. Neither of the officers was Admiral Sampson. ' Shears no bigger than a pin is one of the exhibits of the skill of a Sheffield workman; a dozen of these shears weigh less than half a grain, or about the weight of a postage stamp. They are as perfectly made as shears of ordinary size. Bangor, Me.,, manufacturers are sending canoes of birch and OHii.ao to Palestine, Japan and China. One recently sent to India was made to the order of a British officer, and the cost of transportation was more than $75. ' A canoe just ordered is intended ior a trip up the river Jor dan. ' During the month of February there were coined at the United States mint in Philadelphia 500,190 double eagles. Silver coined con sisted of 76,000 dollars and 112,000 half dollars. There were 446,000 5-cent pieces and 1,157,000 pennies ooined. The total number of pieces coined " was 2,291,190, and their total value $10,169,670. ) The Menominee Indians, in north' western Wisconsin,, are making as niuoh money in lumber operations as are the Osagea at farming. By the sale of pine logs in years past the 1300, men, women and children have accumulated a tribal fund ag gregating $1,000,000 which is still growing. The tribe expends about $75,000 a. year in logging operations and clears from $50,000 to $100,000 annually. The department of state at Wash ington haB received claims to tbe amount of $21,000,000 on account of property destroyed in Cuba," be longing to Amerioan citizeus, and also on account of injuries sustained by oitizens, for. which pecuniary in.-, detnnityiaought. Congress made no provision for settlement pf these oluime, so the state department is at present unable to do more than file them.; f 7 Just before Mr. Merrill left the eeuotd, never to return, someone NO. 11. sunt bira a handsome (silver soup tureen, which had been taken from the Spanish warship Cristobal Colon. Engraved on the dish were the ships initials, C. C. "That stands for Charlie Clark, so I'll give the tuieen to bim," said the senator. So it comes that Captain Clark, of the Oregon, now has the former soup tureen of tbe Cristobal Colon. Tbe greatest diving feat ever achieved was in moving the cargo of the ship Cape Horn, wrecked off the coast of South America, when a, diver named Hooper made several decente to a depth of over 200 feet, remaining at one time 42 minutes under tbe water. An authority states that tbe greatest depth to which a man ban been known to de scend does not exceed 220 feet which is equivalent to a pressure of 88 J pounds to the square inch, A London paper tells of a paving stone in that city which weighed 5C0 pounds and which, while wedged in on all sides by other stones, was lifted up by a mush room. The United States depart ment of agriculture has, by experi ments, found that the force of a growing pumpkin was sufficient to lift two and a half tons, provided tbe weight is so placed as not to interfere with the growth of natural development of the vegetable. The state auditor of Minnesota in his official report expresses the opinion that the time has now ar rived when the railroads of that state "are able to stand up on their own bottom and share equally with all our people tbe burdens of tax- tion." Tbe auditor shows that the railroads pay at a rate of eight mills on the dollar while owners of other property pay at a rate ol twenty-four millf, or three times more than tbe owners of railroad property. " The officers of Dewey's fleet have presented a claim for double tbe amount of head money which it was at first believed they were en titled to receive as the result of the victory over the Spanish forces at Cavite last May day. The law pro vides that $100 shall be allowed to the victors for each person on the captured er destroyed vessels. By that calculation almost $200,000 would be divided among Dewey's Bailors, but- it also provides that where the conquered force is su perior to the attacking force then the allowance shall be $200 . per head. While Dewey'B claim is not based on any superiority of the Spanish fleet, it is asserted that the fleet fighting m conjunction with the shore batteries at Cavite did constitute a superior force in the meaning of the law. The pjint .is a good one and is now being con sidered before the judge advocate general of the navy. .. ',. Among the papers read before the meeting of ' the American Social Science association one of the most interesting was that contributed by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Vanderlip on the financial problem of the late war. It was pointed out by the reader of the paper that the day the subscriptions for the war bond issue opened there were two syndicate bids, each covering the entire issue and each offering to take all or any part that should be unsubscribed by the public This, however, did not touoh upoa the popular side of tbe loan. As a mat ter of faot, $1,400,000,000 was sub scribed to a $200,000,000 loan at the lowest rate of interest at whioh any nation ever disposed pfitsobli gations in time of. war,.,. This ..was an exhibition of financial strength, whioh could not fail to add greatly to our prestige and constituted a monument which marked a Hue of safety between the fears of the past and the hopes in regard ' to our oredit for the future. - It is estimated that the Cuban army is oom'posed of 50,000 men, and that 25,000 of them are officers WE WANT YOKES PRINT ING or entitled to draw officers' pay.
