i:; Substitute For Beeswax. A substitute for beeswax has been discovered in the leaves of the rafia palm, a product of the island oi Madagascar. The wax is extracted by the simple process of beating the dried leaves on a mat to small bits. The particles are then gathered and boiled. The resultant wax is kneaded into small cakes. Experiments are being made with the new substance to find out its commercial value?whether it may be used tor bottling purposes, in the manufacture of phonograph cylinders, etc. BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE Physicians Called It Eczema in Worst Form?Patient Despaired of Cure ?Cuticura ReiuetKes Cure Her. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forccd to call in two of the leading physicians of . After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became despondent and decided to discontinue their sen-ices. Then my husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking cut. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for sis months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom ot tne eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E. Sledge, 540 Jones Ave., Selma, .Ala., Oct. 28. 1905." When the Jam Goes Out. Log jams are not an abnormal part of the riverman's work, as most people suppose, but a regular incident of the day's business. In the breaking of them the jam crew must be quick and sure. I know of no finer sight than the going out of a tall jam. The men pry, heave and tug sometimes for hours. Then all at once the apparently solid surface begins to creak and settle. The men zigzag rapidly to shore. A crash and spout of waters marks where the first tier is already toppling into the current. The front melts like sugar. A vast, formidable movement agitates the brown tangle as far as you can see. And then with another sudden and mighty crash the whole river bursts into a torrent of motion. If everything has gone well the men are all safe ashore, leaning on their peavies, but ready at any instant to hasten out for the purpose nf /?ifnmn<Qr*lnQr Kv nninlr V) o rrl trorV %JI uiocvui ?5iUb w; hv**^**, ******* " v.? any tendency to plug on the part of the moving timbers.

A lady in Salisbury, Md., says that she was compelled to abandon the use of coffee a good many years ago, because it threatened to ruin her health and that she went over to tea drinking, but finally she had dyspepsia so bad that she had lost twenty-five pounds and no food seemed to agree with her. She further says: "At this time 1 was induced to take up the famous food drink, Postum, and was so muct pleased with the results that I have never been without it since.

PETERSBURG That Constitutionalism is Crushed is the General Belief?Xcw Parliament of Aristocrats?Case of Czar is Weak. / St. Petersburg. ? Dissolution of the Russian Duma was accepted ! by St. Petersburg without any dem1 onstration. In the presence of the masses of troops which had been thrown into the capital the people kept within their homes and re| mained silent. The dissolution was most awkj wardly managed. The Duma's special commission announced in dignified language, worthy of a great Legislature, that it would report within two days to the House its decision in regard to the suspension of the fifty-five Socialist Revolutionary members, as demanded by the Government. This delay was quite uni derstandable in such a vital case, for the Duma would have lost every j shred of its dignity if it had per! mitted itself to be hustled into a j panicky decision. i These tactics forced the GovernI ment to put itself still further in the | wrong by the issuance of an impeI rial manifesto, signed at Peterhof afj ter midnight, dissolving the Duma | and promising a new election for | September 14, the Duma to meet Noi vember 14. ! At the same time occurred the ari rest of several of the sixteen DepuI ties whose immediate arrest had been ! demanded in the ultimatum to the i Duma. The official Rossia says that the Duma was dissolved because it would not immediately surrender the fiftyfive accused members, thus giving artmo r?f thom timo to hiH<? nnri nth. ers further opportunity to preach. The latter observation is strange, I as the Deputies could have preached I only to the circle of detectives that i constantly surrounded them. The I Rossia says that seven of the men I have been hidden, but the revolution: ists deny this. M. Mahlakoff, the greatest lawyer | In Russia, gives it as his deliberate | opinion that the case against the I fifty-five accused delegates is weak. The changes in the electoral law ! promised in the Czar's manifesto mean the disfranchisement of Sibej ria, Central Asia, and the Caucasus ! and limitation of the franchise in i Russia on the lines foreshadowed in ! the Novoe Vremya by the reaction! ary publicist, M.

Washington, D. C.?Despite the attempts of a few people to keep life in the Japanese war scare, it is dead. In fact, it never was very much alive. Beyond furnishing employment to space writers and acting as a political issue with which to embarrass the Ministry in Japai, it seems to have had no reason for being on earth at all. Now it fails to serve even these poor purposes and so is allowed to disappear. The mere fact that San Francisco asserted her undoubted right to regulate her own school affairs could not by the wildest stretch of imagination furnish a casus belli?except for the newspaper and political purposes aforesaid. Neither could the irresponsible acts of a few hoodlums who made more or less nostile demonstraI tions against Asiatics?Chinese and Japanese alike?as they have done I for years. Trivialities of this sort are matters for the police, not for war alarums. And it was thus that they were regarded by all sensible people, both in America and Japan. The annual spring war scare having been overworked in Europe, it was necessarily shifted to the Pacific. There is not now, and never has been; any serious danger of war between America and Japan. Chinese Rebels Slay Officials. Victoria, B. C.?Further advices regarding the rebellion in South China received by the steamer Monteagle, state that Sun Yat Sen, who for years has been organizing an antidynastic movement in China, left Tokio for a few weeks before the outbreak, and is reported leading the revolutionists near Swatow, having taken the field May 22 and opened operations by attacking the walled city of Kwang Kong, which was easily captured and all officials were killed. Kaoping and Lin Ching suffered similar fates. The government troops on the Island of Manwo were attacked on May 27 and defeated, the revolutionists then marching upon Cha Chow, which also fell into their hands, and all of the officials were promptly killed. Thousands of refugees fled to Swatow, where foreign warships assembled to protect the city. The Jiji Shimpo, which prints dispatches from its own correspondent I regarding the rebellion, states that j with the well equipped and amply I armed troops of modern China the revolution must be crushed. Guatemala Arms Against Zelaya's Invasion. Guatemala City.?Guatemala is arming against the apprehended Nicaraguan attack by land and sea and heavy guns are being planted at the seaports of San Jose, Champerico and Puerto Barrios. Troops are ready to repel an attack from the Honduran frontier, where President Zelaya has massed battalions. Some of the official papers bitterly attack President Zelaya's bad faith, declaring that after agreeing a few weeks ago at Amapala to submit to the United States any difference with Salvador, now openly assists the Salvador insurgents and menaces Guate mala. President Zelaya's campaign against Guatemala will fail, but these continual attacks and menaces cause a heavy expense to the Guatemalan Government and visit hardships on a community whose business is paralyzed. Zelaya keeps the whole of Central America in a ferment, wherein Mexico's threatening attitude toward Guatemala encourages him. Texas Saloons to Close.

A special correspondent of the Petit Parisien, who visited the villages of Eeziers and Argelliers, found nrpnarations beine made everywhere \ for resistance. Old carts and heavy, out of date carriages, with the wheels removed, were used to form barricades. Spears were stuck into the ground and joined with wires and brambles interwoven. Fire pumps were in readiness to drench the soldiers. The women show even more keenness than the men. The correspondent saw some cleaning sporting rifles and declaring that if any one wanted to arrest Marcellin Albert he would bite the dust first. A late dispatch .from Narbonne says the people commenced to erect barricades there, but Ferroul ordered their demolition. The people obeyed him. Much activity is reported among the troops. Regiments are leaving the Midi and others are replacing them. Mikado May Recall Ambassador Aoki Tokio, Japan.?There are strong indications that Ambassador Aoki will be recalled. There is an inclination to connect the rumor of his reported coming recall with Premier Saionji's audience with the Mikado after the Cabinet Council. The Daido Club, a new party comprising representatives of the late Cabinet, adopted a resolution deploring the Government's dilatoriness and negligence in the face of the San Francisco incidents, and urging a prompt solution of the difficulty. The resolution declares that "the traditional friendship and co-operation of Japan and the United States are indispensable for the furtherance of civilization and peace in the Far East." Japan Fights Formosans. Victoria, B. C.?Advices from Formosa by the steamer Monteagle tell of brisk fighting between the Jap anese and Formosan natives. The Japanese have organized drives with a daily extended line, gradually forcing back the natives, who hold threefifths of Formosa and number 100,000. After months of guerilla warfare, in which numerous camphor workers were killed, the Japanese troops were systematically driving the natives into submission. The pro-gram is that each advance is made permanent by t*ie construction of roads, etc. To date 1378 square miles have been covered in this manner. The natives are fighting desperately.

Heyl Demonstrates Velocity of Projection, Using the Star Algol for Experiments. Philadelphiaa, Pa.?A prize of S1000 that has been standing for forty-eight years to be awarded to any resident of North America who should determine by experiment whether all ravs of lieht and other physical rays are or are not transmitted with the same velocity has been won by Dr. Paul R. Heyl, assistant in the Department of Chemistry of the Philadelphia Central High School. The money was deposited with the Franklin Institute, of this city, on March 23, 1859, by Uriah A. Boyden, in his day an eminent mechanical engineer of Boston, and the institute has advertised the proposition monthly ever since. During this half century twentyfive or thirty essays have been presented by investigators, but after nareful investigation by a committee appointed in each case none was found meritorious. Dr. Heyl succeeded in demon titrating by experiment that those or the ultra-violet rays of light for which glass is transparent, have the same velocity as the light rays proper. He reasoned that if the velocity of these rays were different they would not arrive from a distant source at the same time. For his test he selected Algol, a ,well known, variable star in the constellation Perseus, as the source of light. By means of a diffraction grating he eliminated all but the ultra-violet rays of a known frequency, and by focussing them on a sensitive plate obtained photographs of the star. After developing the plate the successive images plainly showed a fading and recovering, and although the exact location of the minimum brightness could not be absolutely determined, the approximate coincidence of the time of the minimum brightness of the visible and the photographed rays was obvious. These tests, were repeated severai times to eliminate the possibility of error and also to take in a certain range of the ultra-violet rays. The investigation extended over a period of two years.

Schmitz, convicted by a jury of the crime of extortion, asked Judge Dunne for release on bail until sentence is pronounced. , In refusing bail, Judge Dunne said: "In every criminal casa after conviction by a jury the defendant is ordered into the custody of the Sheriff. Any other disposition of this defendant certainly would have to be preceded by a proper and formal showing. That is a consideration I should not even allow the prosecution to waive." After bail had been denied, Schmitz left in the company of Deputy Sheriff Don Beban. New York City.?James D.

"Schmitz will get ten years on this conviction. If he gets ten years apieec on the others his sentence will total 2600 years, and that ought to hold him for the rest of his natural life. He will appeal, but the appeal will avail him nothing. The prompt action of the jury in convicting him on the weakest indictment of the 260 foufid against him shows that the evidence of his guilt is as conclusively proven in law as it has been in the minds of the. men who know of his grafting methods.

While the corrupt Board of Supervisors has the appointment--of his successor, the Supervisors all have indictments over their heads, and they will appoint an honest and efficient man because they can't help themselves. "I do not want the office of Mayor again. There are plenty of good men in San Francisco capable of filling it, and with SchmJtz and Ruef out of the way the city ought to get ahead in leaps and bounds. "Ruef in my opinion will get off with about a^ ten-year sentence. Leniency will be shown him because of his services: in the prosecution of Schmitz..
