The report of the committee of busi ness men eent to Mexico to investigate the property of the Chiapas Bubber - Plantation and' Investment Company bus just been made public. The doon merit is an interesting one and gives . valuable data concerning the enterprise conducted by the company named. The property of the company consists of a plantation of 24,000 acres of the choicest robber land of Mexico, upon which over 700,000 vigorous yonng robber trees now thrive. On the plan tation also are numerous mahogany trees, some of -which are of piodigioni growth, tbns demonstrating the rich ness of the soil. The property is lo cated in the department of Falenqne, state of Chiapas, and: it is unquestion ably adapted to the productions of rob ber and the growth of hardwood timber trees of great variety. "The committee of investigation con sisted of Judge Lucien Shaw, Post master O. VV. Maulsby, Rev., L. M Hartley, of Redlands, Cat; E. A. Gir viu and C. A. Westenberg. They visit- ed the property during the current year, and in their report the informa tion is vouchsafed that the rubber tree of the variety known as the Castilloa Elttstica is indigenous to the country '" and especially to the lands lying along the river Michol, on which the prop erty of the company has a wide front age. Under one of these trees 1,467 young rubber plants were counted, all - of which had sprouted from the seed that had fallen from the tree during the present year. The trees bloom " in their fifth year, and may be safely tapped the vear following. Nurseries have been established for . the propa gation of rubber trees, and all are thriving. A large force of men are employed in building roads, planting trees and developing the property Managing Director J. W. Ellsworth is now on the property, and his careful attention to the affairs of the company has received the warmest commenda tion of the directorate. The committee pronounces the proposition of the Chi apas Bubber Plantation and Invest ment Company to produce robber for sale by cultivating the trees in large numbers as a feasible and practicable enterprise. The only trouble thus far encountered has . been the scarcity of - labor, but plans for overcoming this have Leen perfected. It offers excel lent returns for the investment of small capital, and an investment of $2.50 month for forty-eight months will in mre a hne annual income after six years. The company has a guarantee ttock depcsit of $100,000 with the American Bank and Trust company, of Ban Francisco, as an evidence of good ' faith with investors. '.. Ihe officers of the company are: It. B. Jionestell, president; L. S. Sher man,- first vice-president; George Haw ley, second vice-president; Dndlev C. Bates, secretary. The offices of the company are rooms 63-64-65, Crocker building, San Franoisco. Send . for . prospectus. Expensive Views.

LA Science : atD iverition Recent improvement in telepboto cameras are said to have obviated the old difficulty which required long ex posures, and have renderedJtjossible to take pictures with such cameras as quickly as with those of ordinary con struction. The improvement has been effected by placing a tube, containing a positive lens at one end and a negative at the other, in front of the ordinary lens of the camera. - '. It is with some surprise that' one reads In a recent report of the director of the National Observatory at Athens that, taking area Into account, earth quakes are about twice as frequent in Greece as they are in Japan. The latter country has usually been looked upon aa par excellence the land of earth quakes. It would appear that its earth quakes are, upon the whole, more se vere than those In Greece, although the great architectural monuments of Greece have suffered much from seismic disturbances.

Sir Norman Lockye'r points out that the statues and plaques carved In stone and wood to be seen In Glzeh Museum prove that the priest-mummlfiers . of Meuphls, 6,000 years ago, had a. pro found knowledge of anatomy. Science, he therefore thinks, is as old as art, and they have advanced together. Another remarkable fact is 4hat the excavations in Italy have brought to light scores of Snely finished surgical instruments- for certain operations, which are, in almost every particular of form, precisely like those reinvented in modern times and used by the most advanced surgeons of to-day.. The hollow bones of birds are fre quently cited as beautiful instances; of providential mechanics in building -the strongest and largest possible limb with the least expenditure of material. and this Is largely true. And yet birds like ducks, which cleave the air with the speed of an express train, have 'the long bones filled with marrow or satu rated with fat, while the lumbering hornbill, that fairly hurtles over the treetops, has one of the most complete ly pneumatic skeletons Imaginable, per meated with air to the very toe tips. and the ungainly pelican Is nearly as well off. Still it is but fair to say that the frigate bird and turkey buzzards; creatures which are most at ease when on the wing, have extremely light and hollow bones, But comparing one bird with another the paramount import ance of a pneumatic skeleton to a bird is not as evident as that of a pneumatic tire to a bicycle. - . THE WRONG ENVELOPES. A Little Mistake that Cost Senator . . Chandler Some Uneasiness. Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, is known as one of the most exact and painstaking of men. He rarely makes mistakes, and has little patience ; to spare for those of others. But the wily and careful Senator was recently guilty of a blunder which cost him much trou ble to rectify. ' It was nothing more or less than .exchanging envelopes upon two letters written about the same mat ter. The story as related -by his very dear friends runneth thus: - Once upon a time Chandler received an Invitation from Senator Fry e to go up to one' of the Maine lakes and enjoy a spell of hunting and fishing. Politics would,-of course, come up during the quiet evenings. Senator Chandler had other plans, and thereupon he indited two letters, one to his wife, which ran to this effect: 'My Dear Lucy: I have received ;an invitation from Frye-o go up with him into Maine for a hunting and fishing trip; but I shall not accept . Frye Is temperance crank and never has any thing for himself or friends to drink. and therefore I have got out of the thing as diplomatically as I can. - There is not much enjoyment under the cir cumstances.". .-; The letter .then ran on to detail other domestic confidences. The letter -received by Mrs. Chandler ran merrily along these lines: 'My Sear Frye: I received your in vitation and am very sorry that I can not accept; You know Mrs. Chandler Is very disagreeable about such things, and so I must decline. Some other time, when I can get up a good story to justi fy the fun." ..v The first Intimation which Senator Chandler had of his error was an Indig nant missive from the wife of his bosom berating him for bis ungallant conduct In holding her up to his friends as disagreeable woman. 5 Senator Frye, fortunately for Chan dler, held his peace, as he did not know whether or not the epistle .was loaded. and fancied that the contretemps might be merely one of Chandler's little jokes, which Would have an ending disastrous to tntermeddlefs. The truth of the that- ter Is that Senator Chandler is just as much of a teetotaler as his confrere from Maine, but the other Senators who have heard of the affair are chaffing him unmercifully. Success. . : TERRACES. OF NEW ZEALAND. Pink and White Cliffs Are Again Mak ing; Their Appearance. Henry M. Cadell, a Scotchman - who some years ago wrote one of the best condensed accounts of our Yellowstone Park, has been visiting the volcanic zone In North Island, ' New Zealand, where he caught glimpses of the pink and white terraces that were burled out of sight fourteen years ago. This re gion is a land of wonders. No part of the world, except the Yellowstone Park, Is so conspicuous for hot springs and geysers. They burst from the ground endlessly diversified in form, size and chemical composition. Long before European settlers saw New Zealand the thermal and mineral waters attracted the natives who had discovered their curative properties. Mr. Cadell . says that some sanatorirjms have' now been erected here and are. visited by many New Zealanders and foreigners. Mount Tarawera, about- 3,000 feet high, .was supposed to be extinct till 1886, when one winter's night It sud denly awoke. " The natives who live around the shores of the beantiful lake of the same : name 'at the foot of the volcano told Mr. Cadell that eleven days before the catastrophe they saw a spec tral canoe floating in the heavens above the lake. They had never seen any thing like it before and they believe the spectacle was a forewarning that some terrible "event would occur. Mirages are. sometimes seen In that region. The canoe may have been merely a phe nomenon of this sort or perhaps only a curiously shaped cloud. The explosion came with scarcely a moment's warning. A tremendous shock disturbed the entire, region and the ash-covered summit t the volcano was blown into the air to a height of 20,000 feet visible for 150 miles. Flam ing scoriae and a deluge of ashes fell in dense showers on the surrounding district Many villages were crushed beneath the - weight of dry ashes or burled under heaps of mud. Many places were burled deep under layers of volcanic dust - - ; v One of the most regrettable features of the explosion was the destruction of the "Wonder.of Wonders," the famous mineral spring which filled a crater about 650 feet in circumference and, overflowing, its 'transparent, alabaster like margin fell in thin azure sheets from basin to basin. As it fell the wa ter, saturated with silica and sulphur ous substances, became cooler and grad ually changed color from the sapphire tints of the upper basin to turquoise blue lower down and a slightly,azure shade where the waters entered the lafce. These "white and pink terraces,"" as they were called, were among the most beautiful of sights and few for eigners going to New Zealand-failed to pay them a visit' The terraces were blotted out beneath a heat of scoriae. Mr. Cadell "brings the interesting news that here and there these gorgeously colored rocks are again coming into view and It Is evident from his descrip tion of the region in its present aspects that the phenomena of this wonderland will always continue to rank among the most remarkable of nature's spectacles. New York Sun. - - FOOLHARDY FEATS Performed by Laymen in the Cages oi Wild Animals. A few days ago a Parisian butcher, for a wager, entered a cage In which three large lions were inclosed, drank a bottle of wine and played a game of cards with the beasts' tamer. - When he was about to leave he thrust a wine glass under the nose of one of the animals, and,. as a result, the lion leap ed upon the man and mangled him fearfully before the tamer could Inter fere. , The terrible scene was witness ed by a huge audience In a menagerie at a village near Parjs. A pretty Irish girl had a queer whim of this nature during the past summer. She had been asked to become the wife of a young solicitor, and she promised to give him an answer the next even ing n the tent of a traveling menagerie at the conclusion of the performance. When the -would-be benedict arrived on the scene he was thunderstruck to see the yonng lady smiling sweetly at him behind the bars of a cage In which were two 'full-grown lions. - Although she promised to marry him If he enter ed the cage he swung round on his heels and disappeared without a word. Herr Becker of Vienna, an" eccentric man of considerable means, took it Into his bead to spend the last few days of his.-life in a cage of lions. When be knew his endrto-"Be near he had his bej removed into the cage, and In this queer bedroom he lay .for one week, when he died. -'' During the. visit of a menagerie to Salem, Mass., last spring a young Iad.v of 24 made up her mind to enter tiger's den and. in the presence , of tht savage beasts, knit, a scarf -for theii master. ''. The tigers y endeavored . tt spring upon her when she entered tht cage, but the tamer beat them back. Presently they began to toy with the ball of wool that was used In the mak ing of the scarf. - The plucky young woman remained In the cage for two hours, and before she left it she placed the scarf she had knitted wKh her own hands round ihe tamer's neck. Ill Luck of Peacocks' Feathers. There is at least one house in London where you will as soon see a python as a .peacock's s reamer. xne drawing room was once decorated with a frieze of them, biade into, fans, and from that moment the Shadow of Death descend ed 6n the house. The master of it, his sister and two sons died in little more than a year, and then an explosion of gas in the hall, burned the servant al most to death. But the malign Influ ence of the peacocks' feathers was ex hausted, and they perished by their own act . Though the -drawing-room door was shut the fiery blast rushed in over the top of it and, flying round just be low the ceiling, .burned them all - to ashes. No other damage was done in the room, and it was some years before -t-there was another death in the family. xne umooKer. - - : French Society Cultivate Music Music In Paris society has undergone a great change, r While formerly on the programs of soirees, music-ales and charitable Concerts professional narae3 only appeared, fashionable women now figure and, so to speak, crowd out the artists. 'Countesses, . barenesses and the bearers of less resounding titles are beheld, who bave studied singing cor rectly, are glf ted . with beautiful voices andlack nefther -feeling nor powers of expression; these have completely dis placed professional performers. - This Is less, frequently, the. case In respect ton instrumental . work never in truth but In regard to singing the situation is just as described.
