' i' .. New YORK, July 9.A Herald dis patch' from Havana says: " The threatened invasion of Matanzas province by the insurgents has begun. Several large bodies of Cubans have crossed the line from Santa Clara and the strength of the force engaged in the westward movement is estimated from 4000 to 6000. La Crete and Herie, who recently crossed the Jucaro and Moron trocba and passed into Santa Clara from Camaguay, have united with other leaders, and there are now five or six chiefs, each with a consider able following, moving into Matanzas, where the insurgent forces were ordered to mobilize. Men have been summoned from the plantations around and ordered westward. Whether the movement was ordered to embarrass General Weyler or to dis tract attention from General Gomez, who is supposed to be hemmed in by Spanish columns near Sancti Spiritus, is not yet clear. It may do both. The purpose of the gathering In Matanzas is said to cover the landing of an expedition which is due in that province, and which will furnish the combined forces with some additional arms, cartridges and several rapid-fire field guns. . After receiving this ex. pedition the program mapped out by General Gomez is for an advance across Matanzas province, a junction with the forces in Havana province, and if all goes well a demonstration near the city of Havana itself. Just what opposition the Spanish troops will make to the movement is not certain. The sudden -activity in the rebel ranks after the rainy - season has well begun shows that they are able to move, despite the muddy con dition of the roads, and frequent drenchings which they must receive. Any forced marches of large bodies of Spanish troops to head off the rebel movement must result in heavy losses from sickness, hardship and exposure.

Early this morning the Christian Endeavorers crowded the various churches where prayer meetings were to be held. The topic at all these meetings was "The Christian Endeavor Pledge." Long before the hour for calling the meetings to order in Mechanics' and Woodward's pavilions, crowds filled every available space n the b,ig build ings. The delegates were even more enthusiastio than on the tfirst day of the convention, nearly all having had sufficient time to recover from the fatigue of a long journey, and more or less discomfort of a railway trip. The thousands of lady delegates in striking toiletes and wearing badges, and rib bons of bright colors, looked fresh and happy, and when the song service was announced at the opening of the meet ingsthey responded with a will that showed their whole spirit was is the undertaking.

Electricity has been doing some pret ty work in the photographing of drops of water, and Prof. C. .V. Boys in a recent lecture gave illustrations of what bad been accomplished, says the Detroit Free Press. He first showed ohotographs taken by the electric spark of soap bubble in the act of bursting, and explained the process by wnlch it is possible to ascertain the respective speed at which different soap bubble burst. One photograph showed an issue of liquid from a very small pipe, which to the naked eye appearea to De a per fect stream, but -which, on an electric photograph being taken, was resolved into a beautiful and regular series of drops. In connection with this Prof. Boys remarked that the science of liquids and of the forces involved In the phenomena of the surface of liquids was one of the most interesting branch es of physical science, . The effect on a fountain, of playing or singing was to ehange its appearance into one, two or three apparently separate, clear streams of liquid, bnt a photograph taken as a tuning fork was struck demonstrated that the water was disposed in drops in perfect regularity. A picture of a rifle bullet, passing through the air at the rate of two thousand feet a second, was also exhibited. Prof. Boys, however, showed that if it were wished to inves tigate what was really happening when rifle bullet was being projected through the air at the maximum possi ble speed, it would be necessary to have recourse to a method of illumination in finitely more rapid than the electrio spark. For- this purpose a mirror of steel, about the size of a twenty-five cent piece, is now used. It is so mount ed as to revolve with ease without get ting hot at the enormous speed of one thousand times a second, and the end of the beam of light given off from this mirror passes across the screen at such a rate that it rnables photographs to be taken in about one ten-millionth of a seeond .. Sold aad Silver Bats, The most remarkable gold bug In the world are found in Central America. They belong to the genus Plnsiotis, and one might easily imagine a specimen to be the work of some clever artificer in metal. The head and wing cases are brilliantly polished, with a luater as of gold itoelf. To sight and touch they have all the seeming of metal, and it is hard to realize that the create re is a mereanimal. Oddly enough there is an other species of Plusiotis from the same region, which has the appearance of be ing wrought in solid silver, freshly burnished. These gold and silver beet les have a market value. They are worth from $25 to $50 each. One of the most beautiful bugs in the world is a small beetle known to science as the "blue Hoplia." Its back is an exquisite irides cent sky-blue, and the under part ofj its body ta of a bright silver hue. The) notion that it contains silver is widely entertained, and attempts have fre quently been made . to extract silver tromit,-N.V. Ledger. Kdueate Yob ISowela with Oaseareta.

What an utterly different being an Englishman is when lounging on the terrace of a hotel at Cadenabbia or on the deck of a yacht on the tideless sea, from the same Individual on the terrace of the house or sauntering in the park ' en a fine morning! ' He not only looks unlike himself, but is ever so much bet ter looking, says London Truth. Ills garments are more picturesque, but it is not only that. His features relax ; into an expression of unconscious sat isfaction with things in general which almost approaches to amiability. Of course, a true gentleman would naturally regard himself with contempt if he ever permitted himself to look really amiable or pleased. Except in . a tete-a-tete with a pretty woman oi while enjoying a good game "of romps With children, such a thing would be thoroughly bad form. It is one of 'Arry's social mistakes that hegrina when he is pleased and wears a chronic smile if he happen to be a good-tempered man. The men of our class and upward refrain from any such insane exhibition, especially when at home, dans leur ile. . It has often amused us to watch an English boy while at the adolescent period of life mastering this accom ' plishment. He perceives that his male elders have cultivated what Carlyle called a cheerful stoicism. They listen to the funniest atory without a smile, . unless the narrator is a person whom they rejoice to honor or like to please. -They make their greetings without re laxing an iota of the gravity which ., serves them as a mask. The boy, in imitating them, suffers many an in ward spasm in endeavoring to render his emotions outwardly invisible. He . ' catches himself smiling at something ludicrous, but immediately conquers f nimscii as ne sees that his elders are grave of demeanor. If he shonld so ' far forget himself aa to exkiblt t2 pleasure or animation in circumstances ' where it would be only natural to do so, hut in whioh the seniors set an ex ample of undemonstrative calm, he whips himself inwardly with a huh of self-scorn. - ' '' ' '; During his transition period he de spises women and girls, because they laugh when they are amused and some times cry when they are distressed. He would rather hurt the feelings of his mother or sisters than make the slightest display of gratitude or kindli ness. In fact, he is disagreeable, and a very uncomfortable individual for the Me being. Often when he frowns it ia nly that he has no other way of pre renting himself from smiling. . Pass Them Along At Wamto are about 200 gypsies who are en route to The Dalles. ' They are a dirty, worthless, half starved set that . were hustled out of Portland recently, and aro trapsing over the country liv ing off what they can steal and beg. It would be well for the olty 'author ities to meet them at the edge of the city, and plainly give them to under stand that they are not wanted here. Such vagabonds are a-detrlment to any community they visit, and it should be the rule everywhere that they be hustled along until they are willing to quit roaming and go to work.
