) The Menominee Indians, in north'

tureen, which had been taken from
the Spanish warship Cristobal
Colon. Engraved on the dish were
the ships initials, C. C. "That

So it comes that Captain Clark, of

Tbe greatest diving feat ever

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

A London paper tells of a paving
stone in that city which weighed
5C0 pounds and which, while

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

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.
