The latest improvement In small arras for war Is embraced in the manufacture of a gun stock from fibre to lessen the weight. The invenUon is from Lockport. X.

According to the Commercial Appeal of Memphis that city is now "the leading mule market of this country.” Moet persons would have given that honor to ■ New Orleans or St. Louis. It seems, however, that Memphis Is now the great mule mart, the capital of muledom. The mule haa suffered from stale humorists, but has been nobly reinstates in honor In the last few yean. An animal sagacious and patient, great In peace and in war. There is a pile of money in the mule business, and Memphis is now making the most of it. » American exports of bicycles were more than $7,000,000 in 1898. only H.$20,000 in 1899, and a trifle over $S.000.000 In 1900.

The first industrial and manual training school in the Philippines ha* Just been established In the city of Dumanguette. on the Island of Negro*. The school building, which' is of two otories (the first of stone and the second of wood, though not of bamboo) was erected through the generosity of H. B. Stillman of New York City, who gave $10,000. The young .FlllplDos are to be taught carpentering, iron work, etc., and 100 acres of land have been bought on which to teach them agriculture. Dumanguette was selected for the site of the institution because of the friendly attitude of the natives. You can never know a nfan's working qualities till he demonstrates

Professor Vines of the British asso'c.atlon expressed recently his regret that the century hsd closed without bringing a solution of the «nt»ch discussed question of the ascent of sap. One of the suggested explanations, he said, requires that in a tree 120 feet in height the transpiration of force must equal a pressure of 3G0 pounds to the square inch, but there is no evidence that anything like such a force exists in a tree. This is one o! fhe problems In sclenatihat the 19th century has bequeathed to the 20th. Ali snakes hibernate during the winter and are in so torpid a condition during the period that they breathe seldom during the 24 hours.

MALARIA AND ITS CAUSE. FarasllM of lb. MMqsIt* Now Balag Cradltsd. Leading medical investigators believe they have now concluslvsly established the relation of the mosquito rls. Bur>e Unload Stair* army, in an article In Popu lar Science Monthly, treats at great length this very interesting subject. With the fastening of malarial Infec tion upin the mosquito, marshes and swamps lose their deadly character. The harmless green scum that frequently collects on stagnant pools nc longer emits deadly exhalations, and the marsh gas that hubbies up from the muddy bottom Is at last recog nixed as harmless. It is a parasite Which uses the mosquito as Its im mediate host during one cycle of its life processes and developments that produces the Infection. Although this discovery was made th 1880 by Laver an. a surgeon In the French army. It has only obtained general recognition within the last year. Koch, the celebrated bacteriologist, recently confirmed this all-important discovery Now It is known that a particular

Is the periodicity of these fevers, for as the parasite has a life of but 24 hours, multiples of this give the periods when the fever Is apt to be greatest Quinine has a very deleterious action upon these organisms. and this accounts for its effectiveness In treating malaria. Three varieties of the parasite have been isolated, each of which is believed to produce lu own peculiar type of the disease.

for every device, that was formerly operated by steam. The ship is wired on the three wire system, so that the motors can be operated at two voltages—160 and 180—which is analogous to the use of 160 and ISO pounds of steam. On the previous group of battleships—the Indiana, the Maasachusetts and the Oregon claas—the motors are only 96 horse, power and 72 kilowatts. On English ships the use of electricity is still confine*! to Incandescent llghu. searchlights and signal apparatus, but upon the Rear;c and the Kentucky steam pipes

It Is due to Mr. Eddy, who has done a great deal to perfect the art of kite-flying to practiends. to say that, he has no faith In the Martian signal hypothesis to sett for any such electric pbenonena, declaring that It would be necessary for the enterprising inhabitants of Mars to set up a continuously operating machine to dispatch messages to the entire outor universe. In the remote chance of being detected, and. what is more, understood. The Martian signal idea seems to fascinate some so-called scientist*. It follows as a mure or less natural sequence to the wonderful advances in electrical communication which have been achieved during the past few decades But it is evident that until-a code ha? been arranged it will be at least diffltween even the brightest and most imaginative minds of the two planet? with any degree of satisfaction.—
