Doer's Bntttlc frith a Cactus.
Otto Kleemanu, who lives on 'Bel
mont street, recently acquired a beau
tiful cactus, which he established in
his household, unmindful of the fact
that his dog held the opinion that his
master should have no other pets be
fore him. Now he h?s no cactus and
the dejected semblance cf a dog. The
little animal espied the plant soon after
Its arrival, and issued a challenge. In
default of acceptance he gave battle,
but retired at the first shock to recon
sider. The enemy had more teeth than
a battalion of bull terriers, and all of
them were newly sharpened. He was
no quitter, however, and with rising
anger he renewed the attack. This
time his opponent came down, landing
on him heavily, und with the touch of
a barb wire fence. The two rolled over
and over in a death embrace, and the
cactus was finally vanquished, torn
Into shreds nnd scattered about the
room. But it was a costly victory. The
conqueror ls punctured in more places
than his owner cnn count. He may live
to fight another day. but It will not be

THUS MEN DISAPPEAR
STORY OF ONE WHO CHOSE TO DROP
OUT OF SICHT.
Harvey IV. Rocera Left His Home Near
Buffalo to Visit the Cenfennlal-of *7C
arid Has Ju*t Returned-His Wander
ing*-Slaters' F.-Torts to Find Ililli.
Twenty-three years ago last July
Harvey W. Rogers, n railroad station
ageut at Hamberg, n suburb of Buf
falo, N. Y., left his position, borne,
friends and a comfortable fortuue to
go to the Centennial exposition in
Philadelphia. He bas since been a
wanderer up and down the country
from one extreme to the other, bat
never returned to lits home. He bad
no trouble or cause to remain* away,
but, on the contrary, every induce
ment was made to him to return home.
Not once in that time did he commu
nicate with, his relatives, and they,
hoping almost against hope tnat he
was still alive, have been steadfastly
searching for him for more than a
score of years.
Their diligence was rewarded oue
day last week, when a meetiug be
tween Bogers and his family was
effected at the office of his attorney,
Mr. David I. Gitt, 023 F street, in
this city. It was through the efforts
of the latter that Rogers' sisters were
enabled to find their long-lost brother
and that they came hero from Buff.ilo
to meet him. Their recognitions
were mutual, and while the women
wept for joy, ihe old man was so over
come by emotion that for a few min
utes he could hardly speak.
The story of tb.3 eventful life of the
old mau, now sixty-two years of age,
is an interesting narrative. His
father was a well-to-do farmer in Erie
county, and possessed a hue tract of
laud in what is now a growing sub
urb of Buffalo.
"When Rogers, was a boy the land
was reckoned to be worth about ?50
an acre; now SSO, OOO would scarce
purchase that much of it. When a
young man he enlisted in the Ninth
New York cavalry aud served through
out the civil strife. There the ro
mance of his nature developed. The
life was to him rather shiftless and
aimless, and he became imbued wi'h
the spirit of a wanderer. However,
he returned home after the war was
over and went to work on the rail
road.
His father died, some of tho estate
was sold, and by economy Rogers
managed to acquire a considerable
sum of money. He kept au account
iu a savings bank, loaned money on
mortgages, had a good position as
station agent and became well-to-do.
Still he was never wholly conteuted.
During the Centennial year he
started for Philadelphia, fully ex
pecting and iutending to return after
spending a few weeks at the exposi
tion. He took wish him only enough
funds to pay the expenses of au econ4
omical trip, for he was never a spend
thrift, but rather frugal and modest
iu his wants. Weeks went by, and
finally they lapsed into months, still
no tidings (ame fi om Boger?. His
sisters, with whom he lived, waited
patiently aud anxiously for his re
turn. Finally they wrote to Phila
delphia and asked the authorities to
find their missing brother.
No man answering his description
could be found; in fact, no trace of
him was discovered and the family
continued to hopo that he was -still
alive. Still no message came from
him, although they could see no rea
son why he shonld remain away, and
still less why, if alive, he shonld be
silent. Year after year passed, but
from time to time the family con
tinued the search for the missing rela
tive. Once during the first inaugura
of President Cleveland some Buffalo
people reported to Rogers' sisters that
they had seou him in this city. Again
their hope was revived and efforts
were made to follow up the trail, but
all to no purpose. The police in large
cities were asked time and again to
look ont for him.
In his wanderings Rogers frequent
ly came i?to Washington, and, in
fact, he has been in almost every town
of auy considerable size in both Mary
land and Virginia. Upon ono of these
trips he went to tho office of Mr. Gitt
to have him intercede for him in ob
taining a pension. The attorney,
however, had no knowledge of his
client's wanderings. lu this city
Rogers also met Captain Wooley of
the r ostofhec department, who was
the commander of ono of the com
panies in Rogers' regiment during the
war. He, too, was iu ignorance of
the fact that the former soldier was a
wanderer from home and that his fam
ily w:is endeavoring to find him.
After laying his case before Mr.
Gitt, Rogers again disappeared, and
evett his a toruey did not know his
whereabouts for a long time. One day,
however, he learned that one of ihe
B?llalo congressmen had received a
request from Rogers' sisters, asking
him to make inquiries concerning
their bio her, whom they* had or.ee
more learned had been seen.
Mr. Gitt assured the cong essman
that lt? go s was still alive an he hud
made strenuous efforts to ! d him. ?
For a lo ig time he was unsuccessful.
Finally, he again found his client's
trail a:i.l followed it to Danville, Va.
There Rogers was discovered about a
week ago and induced to couve to
Washington to meet his sisters, who
were advised ot' the success of the
attorney's r ea ch, and hastened to this
city to see their long-lost relative.
Why Rogers never returned to his
home and ucver wrote io his friends
he is unable to explain, ne is a bright
but somewhat eccentric old man, ami
able but aimless. He tells many in
teresting stories of his travels and
his experience with people and affairs.
For twenty-three years he has worked
in one pince or another, both in cities
and in the country, although r. large
portion of the time he has traveled
with the circus. For several seasons
he was with Barnum ? Bailey, then
with Adam Forepaugh, and again with
two or three other traveling shows,
nd thus wandered up and down the
country, through many states and
hundreds of towns.
A phase of his carelessness is illus
trated by a fact connected with his
arrest while upon one of his periodical
visits to this city. He was taken into
custody aa a vagrant merely because
he stood upon the street thought
lessly gazing at one of the public
braidings, and because he told a po
liceman in answer to his queries, that
he had no home and wasn't going any
where in particular.
When searched at the police-station
lt large amount of money WAS found
in his pockets. Notwithstanding, he
was sent to the workhouse, from
which place he was released through
the efforts of Mr. Gitt. Still Rogers
never returned to the police depart
ment to ask for his money, and it re
mains in the hands of the authorities.
Rogers has now made up his mind
?o return to Buffalo and secure pos
session of the money and estate which
naH long been held for him by his sis
-, The interest upon the several
thousand dollars which he had in the
Erie County savings bank has caused
the amount to his credit in that insti
tution to double duriug his absence.
His mortgages have been renewed by
his sisters and his property held in- .
tact, so that he will havo a comforta- !
ble fortune, tho income of which would |
support him in luxury for the remain
der of his years. He expresses his
desire, however, wheu all of his
financial matters have beeu settlol
up, to como back to Washington and
t ike np his residence in ibis city.

THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER.
Now ViRor In tho Attempt to Check tho
Advance or Thia nincnae.
Disease ia nowadays being attacked i
on every 6ide with renewed vigor mid
in most instances with much success.
The more rational methods in the .
treatment of consumption, which have ?
been pursued-the past few years have j
already had the effect of considerably
checkiug its ravage?. Vaccination
has for long taken the sting from
smallpox. Yellow fever vanishes j
wherever efficient sanitary meaaures j
are enforced, while it has been de
monstrated that typhoid fever can be
completely driven out by a strict at- j
tention to the laws of hygiene geuer- j
ally and by insisting upon a thorough
ly pure water and milk supply.
There is, however, one disease
which has thus far baffled the skill of
scientific men. That is cancer, lu
spite of laborious research cancer still
remains a mystery, and although at
intervals within the past few years'
scieutists have announced that i!s
origin has boen traced home, upon a
careful aualvsis of the various tbeoiies
propounded it has always been found
that wheu put to the test they were
found wautiug. The theory of a
parasitic origin is the one which ap
peals most forcibly to the minds of
medical men, and the search for the
cancer germ has been, and is now
being vigilantly and persistently car
ried on.
In the meantime the truth remains
that no disease has made such rapid
headway within tho past thirty years,
aud especially in this country and
state as caucer. Dr. Boswell Park of
Buffalo, one of the most distinguished
authorities on the subject, declares
that the disease is progressing at so
rapid a rate that it it continues it
will cause more deaths in the state of
New York thau consumption, small
pox aud typhoid fever combined. In
thirty years the deaths per 1000 due
to cancer, have almost trebled iu the
United States, and during the same
period nearly doubled iu Creal Britain.
Mr. W. lioger Williams in the Laucet
of Aug. 20, 1893, shows that iu 1840
cancer caused 2780 deaths, the pro
portion being one in 561(3 of the total
population, and one in 129 of the
total mortality. Ia 1890 the deaths
duo lo it numbered 23,521, or ene in
U10G of the total population, and ono
in 22 of the total mortality. In this
country statistics arc eveu more appal
ling. Some statisticians have endea
vored to explain away the increase in
the mortality from cancer as mislead
ing, and assume tba: the increase is
only apparent, and is duo to improved
methods in detecting the disease, but
even if this io a certain extent be so
the increase has beeu too rapid for
explanation lo cover the whole
ground.
Fortunately, there is a bright side
to this dark pic!ure. In this state,
Dr. Boswell Park's statement on the
subject hus aroused the authorities, and
already a laboratory has been establi
shed and c ^nipped at the expense of
the state for the purpose of studying
cancer and placed nuder the direction
of Dr. Park. lu Great Britain, the
literature, both lay aud medical,bear
ing on the questiou is voluminous, aud
??he government of that country has
recently decided to send a bacteriolo
gist to Buffalo in order to ins) ect tho
new laboratory as well as to gain fresh
idea*. Thus it would seem thatthe light
against cancer promises to bc as ener
getically waged as that against con
sumption, aud lhere is reason to hope
with as good results.-New York Sun.
VEGETABLE GEMS.
Curious Op iK Found In th* Ilnmboo ol
Manila.
"Among the queer things found in
the Philippines aro bamboo opals, a
vegetable gem which is something dis
covered by the natives in the stem of
the bamboo," said a gentleman who
has lived for a number of years in
Mauila. "Not one piece of bamboo
in a thousand, however, contains a
specimen, as tho bamboo grown there,
as elsewhere, is navally empty, but
accident occasionally brings to light
iu the bamboo stem a small, hint-like
material which presents tho appear
ance of a peafect opal. These nodules
are known to the nathesas 'tobacur,1
and 1 have from time to time duriug
my long stay on the islands seen
feveial of these vegetable freaks of
nature which reproduced the charac
teristic lines of the opal so faithfully
that experts wert! i uz/.led to know the
difference between the vegetable and
the real specimen.
.'Besides the tobacur gem there is
.requeutly lound in the inside of the
iiiiliupine cocaunt a tiny substance
resembling a sponge, which, when ex
posed to the heat of tim suu for
several days, will reveal the presence
of sundry small spheres that have all
the natural appearauce and lustre of
the pearl. These cocoanut gems rauge
from the size of a pin head to that of
a small pea. They are very valuable,
and, wheu not used by the natives for
personal adornment, are sold to local
and foreign museum? as curiosities.
It may be interesting to know that the
first chemical and mineralogical ex
amination of these vegetable gems
was made by James Smithson, whose
munificence established the first of
the scientific bureaus of the American
government.
The Disappearing Horse.
On no less au authority than Col.
Albert A. Pope, the statement is made
that at no distant time a cart or car
riages drawn by horses or other
animals will be a curiosity in the
cities of the world, and in most of
the rural districts as well. Col. Pope
foreshadows the reign of electricity as
the power for horseless vehicles, and
shows that a motor-carriage, while it
may cost more than the ordinary car
riage, costs far less for its care and
keeping, can be recharged with elec
tric power at small expense, and on
the shortest notice, and will do as
much work as two or four horses.
Colonel Pope predicts the speedy su
premacy of the horseless carriage, and
tho change will be gladly welcomed
not only by those who appreciate the
economy of the new power, but also
by all who favor the greater cleanli
ness of our streets.-Leslie's Weekly.

Some naturalists have dcuied that
fishes ever sleep, but iu a recent arti
cle in thc Fischerei Zeitnng Dr. Theo
dor Beer proves that they do sleep,
some in an upright position, while
others ou tho side. Sharks close their

M. Armand Gautier claims that tho
iodine in sea-water is almost entirely
in the form of organic compounds.
About, one-fifth of it is combined in
alg:p and spore;', and the rest in solu
ble orgauic compounds, some of which
arc from the decomposed alg:c. The
opinion geno .ally entertained by chem
ists aud others was that iodine was
combined with sodium or calcium,in
the form cf sodium iodide or calcium

An imitation gold that is not changed
by exposure to ammoniacal and acid
vapors has beeu patented in Germany.
It is produced by mixing six parts of
antimony with 100 of molten copper
and overcoming a certain tendency to
porosity by adding a flux of charcoal
ashes, magnesium and lime-spa-. Tho
product is an inexpensive alloy of
great density and a permanent gold
color. It can bo rolled, hu minored,
soldered and polished like gold aud
has the advantage of being harder.
The effect cf slow cooling on the
size of crystals was well shown at a
recent teariug down of an open-hearth
furnace which bad b en used in the
manufacture of railway rails. At one
time a large quantity of steel broke
through the bottom and the repairs
were effected without the removal of
the metal, giving it a chance lo cool
very slowly. The crystals found wore
of extraordinary size, one measuring
1 3-S inches in length by 13-S inch in
breadth. Hal the steel cooled in thc
ordinary way the crystals would have
been extremely small, no larger than
a few hundredths of an inch in each
dimension.
It is not popularly known that a
diligent observer will see about six
meteors per hour on the average any
clear night in the year. The number
visible in the early morning hours is
ranch larger than in the evening, the
reason being that from the earth's ro
tation on its axis it follows that in
the evening only those meteors which
overtake our planet are seen, while in
the morning not only these but the
meteors goiug in the opposite direc
tion to the earth are mot. When it is
remembered that manyare never seen
because they enter the atmosph?re in
daylight, and others are never re
corded because they would only be
visiblo in desert and uninhabited
regions, the estimate that twenty
millions of these bodies daily add their
dust to tho earth is not so incredible.
Of course the same meteor is seen
over only a limited territory.

Charley M. was at home from col
lege spending his vacation. The M.'a
were people pretty well-to-do, and
Charley was passing the forenoon
very comfortably on the cool and
shady veranda.
Down by the barnyard fence, in a
neglected place, a crop of strong,
healthy weeds had sprung up and
flourished nuder the summer sun.
Left, unmolested in tho rush of work
on the farm, they were fast becom
ing a blot i-n the otherwise orderly
premises, and that morning Charley's
father-tho "old man" -had sallied
forth, and was now making a vigorous
assault upou the patch.
Suddenly he left ott" his work aud
came np into the yard. Taking a
broomstick which happened to bo
leaning against the veranda, he laid it
on tho grass, thou turne 1 to Charley
and said:
l\'it down hee anil soe it you can
pull me over that stick."
He held in his h.vid a small chain,
tn euch end of which was inserted a
stout stick to serve asa handle. Then
the tug began, and developed into
?jnite a spirited contes*. But at last
Charley succeeded in dragging the old
man across thc line.
"There, that'll do," he said, drop
ping his eud of the chain. "I guess
you've got strength enough to pull
them weeds down there by the barn."
"I never said a word," said Char

Chinese History.
Authentic history and biography in
China embraces a period from the year
122 of our era back to the remote per
iod of 2,107 years bef?te Christ. The
historian., of China embrace a succes
sion or uninterrupted series of more
than 2,400 years. The full and con
tinuous history of the empire was com
piled in the second century of our era.
The great libraries of peking contain
volumes of books numbered by the
hundreds of thousands. In the ar
chives of the government nre still to be
found tke n?eient predictions of
eclipses made with great accuracy, to
gether with works on astronomy which
show a fair knowledge of that Inter
esting science. Biographies, very suc
cinctly written, of the emperors of the
most ancient dynasties still exist, and
written works of learned men are as
voluminous as those of European na
tions. And all this learning and lore
of learning has been acquired without
help ot suggestion from any foreign
people. If their authentic histories
teach back to nearly Ave centuries ago,
mythical history ronches still further
back into the very night of time.
When Nineveh and Babylon Wore in
the splendor of their might, men In
China Were predicting eclipses, making
catalogues, ano giving names to the
stars. But Nineveh and Babylon were
mero mounds of enrth and rubbish
when China was great, and lo this dato
the civilization and life of tho empire
is the Wonder of the world.

National Reservoir??.
One of the obstacles in the way of
State ownership of the arid lands, and
their Irrigation, should not be over
looked by those who favor that policy.
This Is that caters which originate in
one State frequently flow through sev
eral other States and Territories, and
for one of these States to impound
such waters would lead to endless com
plications.
For instance, in Wyoming the head
waters of streams exist which flow
into or through seventeen Stales and
Territories. The water supplies of Ne
braska cannot be preserved except by
reservoirs in Wyoming. Nebraska can
not build them in Wyoming, and Wyo
ming will not. Nevada must be largely
irrigated from watersheds lying in
California, from the eastern slopes of
the Sierras. Ono of the largest arid
regions in the United States is the
Colorado Desert, In Southern Cnll
fornla. This great expanse of fertile
soil, which only needs Irrigation to
make lt productive, could only be Irri
gated by water from the Colorado Uiv
er, every drop of which flows lu other
States than California.
Nor would tho question end here.
Even Mexico would have to bo consult
ed in considering plans for an extensive
system of irrigation. The only way
out of the difficulty ls for the Federal
Government to store tho water and to
distribute it, under proper restrictions,
upon the lands which the (Joverumeui
now owns.-Los Angeles Times.
