AUSTRIA'S STATE SECRETS. rfcer A.T9 Placed for Scearlt? ta ! Bl of Hoaae Ballt Kz presslr for Thorn. The Austrian Imperial archives bare been lately conveyed from theHofburg to the great house built for them ad joining the foreign office. They, wilt later on be opened for public Inspec tion, from the most ancient documents down to those of 1840, says the London Telegraph. The rooms containing the secret archives are of Ironwork, each story being completely separated from the next one, so that neither fire nor water can penetrate. Hose supplying abundance of water Is fixed in every dl rectlon, the windows can neither . be melted by fire nor destroyed by blows and the ornamental Ironwork before each window can be unlocked In case of emergency. ' It is remembered when Napoleon Bo naparte Invaded Austria and estab lished himself at Schonbrunn with what terrible haste the nee ret archives were carried otf to Buda-Pesth to the Ofen stronghold, these being the first things secured when all else was left, Among the Iron cases stands a plain wooden box which will not be opened for 50 years. - It contains the letters and papers of the late Crown Prince Rudolph hurried ly collected at Mayerllng on the day of the disaster and placed in a box bought in the adjoining village. DISCOUNTING DEFEAT. Englishmen Bar the Last Cap Dofea- dor Was Manned by a Dateh Crow, " It Is curious that Englishmen are questioning the International character of the American yacht race for the first time: for in the true sense of the word. It never has been a struggle between Englishmen and Americans, but be tween Englishmen and Englishmen. and Englishmen and Americans, says the King. "The America, which carried off the famouB cup, was designed by an Eng lishman, who, with his brother, navl gated her across the Atlantic. Later on it was a Scot who owned the defender. Last time the American yacht was commanded by a Scotch skipper and manned by a Dutch crew. ' If tho English depended on American stun in this way we should henr of it: but apparently John Bull Is rorscd at last. lie objects to the emDlovment of British sails In the Reliance, which Is supplied by Ratsey, of Isle of Wight ime. Yachtsmen this side of the water nat u rally maintain that sails are a most Important feature of a yacht, and If they are British in the American boat, the contest ceases to be international. DIDN'T KNOW "AMERICA." , Harked Contrast Between English ad Amerloan Wan on an Ocean Liner. "Returning to my native New York mis summer by an English ship," says a transatlantic traveler, accord ing to the New York Sun, "I noted again the lack of knowledge we Amer icans have of our national songs. "On Supday the captain read service in the dining saloon and at Its close, In deference probably to the prepon derance of Americans In his company, designated 'America' as the hymn to be sung. Everybody stood up and the first verse was given with a gusto. "Much weaker In volume was the ilnglng of the second verse. The third )egan with only two or three voices :hat trailed off Into dead silence before ts end, though the organ kept bravely in. "Either the captain intended it from ,he first or else the weakness of our ilnglng suggested it to him, but at. the lnlsh he asked for 'God Save the King.' Then It was that we Americans were ashamed to 11j to the handful of Englishmen among us sing lustily an with confidence, led by the captain hlm telf, their national anthem from start to finish. MAKES RAIN WITH OAS. Anstrallan Bar That by- Vie of Cer tain Chemical, Dovrnpoor Can Be rrodaecd at Any Altitude. Dr. McCarthy of Melbourne, Australia, claims to be able to produce rain by sending up continuously from three centers a column of gas made of certain chemicals. After a maximum of thirty two hours rain Is produced overa range of ninety miles at any altitude, iu any sky, with the wind In any quarter. Dr McCarthy explains that the gas causes In a different strata of the atmosphere a vacuum which is the center of a heat storm filled with dense rain clouds. The rain which follows Is of a tropical character, slight at first and then very heavy. His experiments have been con lucted In an lnclosure twelve by eight .'eot. The chemicals react and must be changed In accordance with the altitudes. Wheat Market. Wheat today is 64 cents. There are no sales beicg made. 0- E. & TS. Low Bates. The O.

Gentlemen: I was afflicted with Kidney aad Bladder trouble for six years and had tried numerous preparations without getting any relief and had given up hope of ever being cured when FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE was recommended to me.
