A Cano In Eleven Hundred riecei.
William S. Yalo, a wealthy Brooklyn
(N. Y.) bachelor, is a ro narkable trnvtiler,
autl Jiia delight is historical study.
He lias ty/canc that he carries with hiro,
which is undoubtedly the most costly
and unique of auythiog of the kind in
the jfoild.
Itfue stick contnias about 1100 pieces
oil wood. Each piece is cut in a curious
^/aud artistic shape, so that the cane with
r the various colored and shaped woods
has a strange appearance.
Mr. Yale planned and made tho cane,
and work upon it consumed weeks of
labor at ditTercut times in the course of
several years.
Sixty of the 1100 pieces of wood are
of great valuo to relic hunters. The
head ot the cane is made from a post in
the houie of Shakespeare's birthplace at
Stratford, England. Set in the head is
i? small lock of wlnte hair from Martha
Washington's head, the lock having
lieen given Mr. Yale thirty years ago by
Robert K. Leo, a descendant of Mrs.
Washington.
There is a piece of wood from the
birthplace of Napoleon, on tin Island of
Corsica, and one from Napoleon's writing
desk at St. Helena.
^ Other pieces of the cano cimo from
the Charter O ik, from the homo of John
Adams, from a chair of Oliver Cromwell,
from the homo of Julia Hancock, from
tho Mayflower, Roger Williams's pew,
from a desk of Abraham Lincoln, from a
'penholder of Gladstone, fro n a rule that
Garfield used at school, from i penholder
of Longfellow, from a truuk t lat Lafayette
used during the Revolutionary War,
from tne bod upou which Joan Wesley
died and from the guillotine upon which
dLowia XVI. and Mario Antoinette were
beheaded. Mr. Yale spont years and
uiucli carc in collecting the relics.
I Ho has bceu offered for tho
'cano, which is truly a wonder. He will

..n interesting discovery c rnoi to San
Diego, Cal., by the way of the mining
town of Juliau, up in the mountains. A
correspondent of its paper, the Weekly
Scutiuol, tells of a journey over the

that was below the water boing of a dull

required to garrison Uuelo S in's Hunting
fortresses. A marine is a sea soldier,
highly discipline i, with son legs and a
ica stonach; a trained gunner and sharpshooter,
able and aecisto ne i to ilo every
thing a sailor does, except going aloft.
But going aloft is an obsolete practice
on a modern war vessel, which carries
no sails, having only one mast, called the
"military mast," with two tops, whene?
rapid-firing guns aro designod to hurl a
shower of projectiles against the enen/.
The now stylo man-o'-war's man i?
rather a soldier and a mechanic than a
sailor. Ilo forms an integral part of o
body of regular troops, housed in an
enormous mass of floating machinery,
which is lighte I and vontilato I by electricity.
Only a few sailors are really
needed on board such a ship, for handy
work of certain kinds. Vessels for coast
defonsc aro best mannod wholly by sei
soldiers. The Naval Itesorvo now being
organized and trainel as a . sort ol
ocean militia, is roally a body of nairinos
though the men composiug it aro dresscJ
in sailors1 clothes.
Tno idea which they represent is not
at all an economical one, inas nuch as
tney got seamen1* wajes. O Idly en ough,
the pay of sailors is nearly twice r/hat
marines receive. A marine is allowed
only $13 a month during his first term of
enlistment, whore\s a seaman gets $31 a
nonth, and even a lubberly lan Ismn on
a vessel is worth $15. The reason for
this difference is simply thit sailors aro
difficult to got and to keep, so tuat their
value is higher in the rnirket.
Thu<, it is readily seen that a great
saving would be made by reducing the
number of seamou in the N ivy an I increasing
the force of inarinos.
Experts aro of the opinion that a warihiphs
complement of men should be not
less than throe-fourths marines. It is
rather interesting to consider tho fact
that the first beginning of a navy for this
jountry was the raisin g of two battalions

1,200,000.000,000 feet, bo:\rl measure, of
standing lumber, with a present annual
Consumption of about 10,000,000 feet
board measurement. This means, says
the Engineering News, an apparent supply
for 120 years; but the rapidly increasing
demand for timber may easily
reduce this period to a century, and possibly
exhaust it in seventy-live years. It
,is true that Alaska is credited, on very
little information, with (JO,000,000,000
feet, board measurement, of standing
lumber, and British Columbia with
1.0(10,000,000,000 feet more; but these
arc certainly not to ba assumed as home
supplies. The Lumberman gives the

Many of tho most Interesting eud
fruitful researches have beeu ma le in
the Latin American Republics south of
the Uuitod States. A number of ^*H:ors
frf tho army aa 1 uavy were dot to
arouse tho interest of these Republics iu
the Exposition, mil also to raako collections
in ethnology a id arc'ue >logy. They
took with them full iustructious from
Professor Putnam as to tho manner of
collecting and the results have been
splendid. They havo secured many exhibits
from native peoples of Ceutral aud
South America.
A good mauy interesting thin;) ennoctod
with the period of Cortos liaVe
been found in Mexico and will be ?e3n at
the Pair. Tho ancient ruins of Yucatan
have been specially explored by Consul
E. U. Tnompion. He made about 10,000
sguaro feet of mmlds of portions of tin
xuinod buildings, showing the facados,
parts of corners of struc turee, the door*
ways and other features. Ha also
moulded both sides of the fa-nous portal
at Labna. Casts have boon malo fro.u
these moulds, and thore will bo soon on
tho Exposition grounds fac-similes of
theso elaborately carved stone structures
of Yucatan, over and around which
will be the tropical plants native to the
region of the ruins.
An expedition was sent to Tlondur.as
to study tho ancient ruins of Copan, and
though the work has not been con*
pleted, many interesting and important
objects, illustrating wonderful carvings
in stone, fragmsntsnf pottery, nu-norous
ornaments of stone, shells and bono,
stone implements, aud so on, have been
secured. Further south G. A. Dorsey
made extorsive explorations in Ecuador,
Peru and Bolivia, where he collected a
large amount of this material. Lieutenants
Bagord and Welles secure I miny

In the Uaited States the archn ological
work of the past two yosrs will be fully
represented. Ancient Tillage sites, burial
places, and workshops or quarries have
been brought to light in the Delaware
Valley and cirefully studied. Similar
fruitful researches have been made on
Capo Cod, iu Connecticut, along tho Androscoggin,
and in many other places.
Two singular burial placos were found
in the Androscoggin Valley, iu which
tho graves were so old that the skeletons
had entirely disappeared, leaving in tho
graves only masses of red ochre and implements
and other objects of stone.
Doctor Franz Boas and his assistants
have prepared a presentation of the physical
characteristics of tho native American
peoples. Measurements havo also been
taken and observations made of more
than 50,000 children in the public schools
of the United Stato* and Canada, as well
as in tne ludiau schools and of mauy
colored children. The co operation of the
authorities in Japauese and Hawaiian
schools was also secured, and we thus
havo the measurements of Japanese and
Kanaka children for comparison.
There is no doubt that the ethnolo*
gical features of the World's Pair will ba
among the most interesting exhibits.
No such collections illustrative of the
life and customs of prehistoric and un>
cultured peoples has erer before bee i
made in any international oahlbUiou,?

. 44I never so into a oage of wild' beasts
unless it is absolutely neoessarj," said A.
L. Holton, the veteran animal trainor in
charge of the Robinson menagerie, to the
Cincinnati Times-Star. "In the first
plaoe it i' dangerous, and then thero is
nothing to be gained by it. What is the
use of risking ono's llfo for nothing! I
used to do it when I was younger, but I
don't want to do it any more. Showmen
once thought It was an attraction, but
the people don't appreciate the danger of
tho performance, so that It is seldom
done any more. John Robinson will not
allow any one to go on parade in a cage
of beasts, and he is right. Do you know
that during the season I am continually
annoyed by men who waut to go into
the cag03? A good trainer will not risk
hia life so foolishly, and it is only
novices who take the fearful risk.
Some people think there is a lot of
money in it, but I know that most of
the men now parading in cages aro
working for no more than $30 a month.
Showmen offer no inducement, but often
they will permit a man to go on parade
with a den of lions if he insists on it and
agrees beforo witnesses to tako all the
risk upon liis own shoulders. Taoy do
it for glory, but I don't sec whoro the
glory comes in. I used to liavo a cago
of leopards that I raisod from kittens.
I went in with them for a few year.*, but
when they got full grown I quit it. A
fresh young man who was pining for
glory insisted upon taking tho place I
refused to till longer. lie got the job
and one day tho leopards tore him to
pieces beforo a largo crowd to the musio
of the calliope. They got him out just
in time to let him die in tho open air.
Yes, it is very thrilling and Hkewiso
very glorious. But I don't hanker for
glory."
