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.

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

Tea drinking frequently affects
people as badly as coffee. 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

J CM DISSOLVES THE

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

Wars and Rumors of V
Peace and Plen
Death of the Japanese
War Scare Announced.
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.

Paris, France.?The Government
acted none too soon in determining
to set the law in motion against the
wine growing revolutionaries in the
South of France.
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

saw some cleaning sporting rifles

to arrest Marcellin Albert he would
bite the dust first.
A late dispatch .from Narbonne

There is an inclination to connect

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

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.

Philadelphia Scientist Gets $1000
Award For Light Experiments.
Dr. Paul R. 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.

In refusing bail, Judge Dunne
said:
"In every criminal casa after conviction

Any other disposition of this defendant

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. ""
"Unfortunately. Schmitz will re- |
main Mayor until hi^ appeal has
been decided. Abe Ruef had a law
passed that will bring this about,
but it will save him only for a few
weeks longer. While the corrupt
Board of Supervisors has the appointment--of
his successor, the Supervisors

"I do not want the office of Mayor
again. There are plenty of good men
