Now, to carry out the 'plans, the revenue cutter Thetis Is be ing littcd out for a cruise along the Si berian coast to obtain the swiftest of these animals from the Siberian herd era. Lieut. D. II. Jarvis, one of the most experienced of arctio officers, will be in command. The nearest market of the domestl entcd reindeer is on the cast coast of Siberia, just across the ltchring strnit. !llere the animals have been herded and trained by the nomadic tribes thut toqhi up and down the coast, subsist ing mainly on the products of the herds nnd bartering skins with the coast na tives for tobacco, firearms, aminunl 1ion and other commodities. The The tis will meet these tribes alonjf the coast, purchase the best of the deer and .transport Uiem across to the Alaskan coast. The present methods of transporta tion iu Alaska are by dog trains, In dian packers and by boats. ISy boat it ia impossible to travel nine months of the year, and dog-team travel Is limited. low and uncertain, as the greater part of the loud has to be taken up by food ior the animals.

Tho reindeer possesses all the requi Bites for arctio travel. They are swift, .tractable and self-sustuining. The moss upon which they feed covers the whole of northern Alaska and they reueh it by burrowing through the Know with their deeply cleft hoofs.

The unscrupulous hut ingenious French man wns at one time nn assistant in n largo museum, nnd lierc he learned he value of many rare eggs. Iteingot tin enterprising nature lie started busi ness ou his own account anil made nu merous experiments before he onme. to perfection. lie generally uses the shell of some ronnnon egg, chosen lor its it lioness in sl.c and shape to the one desired, nut when that is impossible gypsum Is used, this, when properly colored, being in distinguishable from natures handi work. The coloring process is not cost ly, but ft very lengthy and tedious op eration, for each variety of egg has its distinctive marks and spot. Nightingales eggs, which are finely marked, are worth good prices, and knowing this the dealer finds no diffi culty in obtaining larks' eggs nnd col oring them to resemble the genuine article. Specimens of this undoubted butmis- plnccd skill have found their way to collectors in all ports of the world, and yet so completely and carefully has the work been done not one of the buy ers has ever discovered them to be "manufactured." MAY EXECUTE ANYONE. PoMMnlon of the Chine fmi Sword la China Ulves One That I'rl vIleRe. It is announced by tho Imperial Ga zette of Peking, the court circular of the Chinese empire, that the dowager era press has presented two "Sehnng-Fang" swords, one to Prince Tsn Tschi, elector of Tuan, the other to Prince Tsal Lieu,' III. grade. These swords give their bearer the right of beheading any man, woman or child who may have offended him or incurred his disfavor. lie can perform this execution without even a word to the emperor and need make no record of his victim s butchery. The idea of the sword, however, is that it is a safeguard against treason The beurer must instantly do away with any one who mny have designs against the ruling family, and thus discourage "lese majeste." ot the same time it is a mark of esteem for those who receive it. The Rehang-Fang sword dates back centuries, still there is only one other instance, besides tho one just men tioned, recorded in Chinese history, where this sword was given to anyone, It was presented on that occasion to the Mon-Gol General Sai-Schnng-ah by Lin neror Hsien-Feeng, when, during tho Tai-ring rebellion, that general dis' tingulsihcd himself by exceptional bravery and earned the rank of gener alissiinus. FLATH0USES IN MALTA. Interested Cniiltnllstn Look to Amer ica, for the Latent Kind ot littlnu'. Valletta, tho capital of Malta, litis been invaded by tho llnrlem lint, and the Maltese uro delighted. One large I'uthouse having proved u succeed, sev eral more uro ubout to be built nnd tho Maltese want to know just how the thing is done in New York. The capi talists who are to build the tlathouses have been to John M. Grout, Jr., the United States consul at Malta, and told him that they want the latest thing ia electric outfits for Huts, such ns bells, etc., and new ideas as to plumbing and elevators.

Why Cats Hiss. Why docs n cat hiss when angry? Take a tiny kitten at play und make it angry and It will snarl In its baby fashion and hiss as best it can. Why? Iu l'carson's Magazine Dr. Louis Hob In son says that the hissing and spitting ot young kitteiiB is probably an instinc tive attempt to scare away enemies from the helpless tots by imitating a snuke's hiss. A great muny creatures thut live in shallow holes have a like habit of hissing, when annoyed or an j ffered. The tail of a cat seen dimly in the half light of a cave suggests a snake's tail and is often marked in a way to heighten the resemblance. "If," says Dr. Koblnson, "this really is an instance ot protective mimicry, I think it is probable that the chief foe guarded against was the eagle. Eagles are very, fond of cat ilesh, and it has been re marked by naturalists thut theie form idable birds habitually make war upon, the smaller felidae," White Titter. A white tiger was shot lately in the Dibrugurh district of Assam, according to the Calcutta Englishman. He was sine feet long and in the prime of life; The Calcutta taxidermist who prepared the skin states that in 18 years he had neither seen nor heard of such a thing M ft whit tiger.

One fif tho biggest Industries of the Chinese iu Snn Francisco Is catching, cooking and shipping shrimp to Chiiui In great quantities. The shrimp fish ers, or shrimp dancers, ns they are called there, are of the lowest type of humanity, and live In out-of-tlic-woy places along the shores of the Golden lintc. There are hundreds or tiiem, ami they use old nondescript bonis In their calling. They catch the shrimp mostly with bng nets of fine mesh, about 4U SHRIMP DANCERS.

These traps are on the bottom in shallow waters, supported by poles, and thev catch all the shrimp and small fish that swim nlomr with the tide, lhis work is done at night, usually between midnight and sunrise. The shiiinp are boiled In large vats for about ten minutes, when they ns Btime the delicate pink color that marks them when cooked. Then they are spread out with brooms In the sun on leveled, cleared squares, and tho China' men dttneo on them with wooden shoes, to break the shells, and thus make It easy to remove the meat. Twenty or more celestials engage in the weira hobble, covering tho entire bed, and resembling a bund of American Indians nt a fire dance. When they have fin ished the shrimp are taken in baskets to dislodge tho meat from the shells, both of which nro shipped to China. The crushed shells are used in the Flowery Kingdom as a fertilizer on tea plantations. China Is said to depend on the San Francisco market for them entirely. SOAP FOR CHICAGOANS.

Cotton ftlnde from Wood. . Consul Mahin, of Reichenberg, quotes nn account in a locul newspaper of a process for making artificial cotton from the wood of the fir tree. The wood Is reduced to thin shavings, which are pluced in a washing appuratus, ex posed to the influence of steam for ten hours. They are then subjected to a strong preparation of sodium lye, and nre heated under great pressure for 30 hours. The wood is now changed to pure cellulose, and to give this a greater resisting power some custor oil, caffeine and gelatin are added. The substance is then put into an apparatus and made Into threads. The article concludes: "Artificial cotton can be produced so cheaply that the genuine article can hardly compete with It, and one cannot suy that It is a sham, for it is com posed, exactly as is tho natural cotton, of pure cellulose." Musical Well tn Texas. Near Wiedermun's, Tex., is an aban doned well about 00 feet deep, and overgrown with vegetation, which, a correspondent of Topulnr Science says, Is famous In the neighborhood for its musical powers. In fine weather, par ticularly with a westerly wind, it gives forth n sound like that of an Aeollun harp, swelling uud dying away by by turns. When a heavy northerly wind Is blowing, the water rises within a few feet of the top, and strange noises, which some persons think resemble mouns, Ibsuo from the old well. An at tempt to fill up the well a few years ago failed, apparently because of tho ex istence of a subterranean cavity, which swallowed up the dirt as fast us St was dumped ia. FIND OUT YOURSELF.
