ALIEN IMMIGRATION'. England Suffering from an Unwel come Influx. Victims or I'frwrnliiin tn Continental Curop Taklnir ItrfiiKe n tircat Itrttnla Their llami.Kl" K Kltei-t on the Working t tinotes. The immigration f foreiL'n working men and women into l-'iighmd in past times has lieon of tin very highest service to tin' economical ami social progress of th- count ry. Silk manu facture, so important a branch of the national industry, is only one of the many pursuits that have lieon estal lishcd by aliens, who ly religious or political persecution hail been forced to leave their own country and follow their own industrial pursuits in Kn'laml. Practically the descendants.. f these im miirrants have become Knglish. and their origin is lost siffht of, for in a large nuinlHT of cases they have Angli fied tlieir names; the he lys have ls'come Kings, the l' .nlangrrs 1 lakers, ami su on. Immigration of this kind was most valuable to the per-ecut. il in dividuals who were f- rc-d into exile, and to the country which rec ived them and Wnctitcd by their knowledge, thrift and industry. I'.ut the London l.'uccn says there is another kind of immigra tion which possesses none of these ad vantages, and this is going on to an in jurious extent at the present timi that of the paupers from tin-eastern countries of r'nrope. who have no special kno w ledge, and, t here fore, on arriving in this country, have to com pete with the lowest forms of unskilled labor and, consequent ly. lower the rate of winros among the most destitute of our working people. Dnrinif the hist four months nearly "in.Otui aliens have arrived from the continent at the east ern ports of I reat Jlritahi. Of these, over 10.000 expressed their intention of remaining in this country, and of the :t.".000 who declared themselves en route for America it is believed that a very large proportion remained in this foun try. A considerable number of these were Russian and t'ermun Jews, driven away y the relentless persecution to which they have been exposed. That our own latvoring poor should be subjected to the competition si rising from such an influx of unskilled lat..r is not to be contemplated with com placency. The question of pauper im migration is prow ing in urgency, and its consideration cannot be much lorg er iirnored by the legislature. 'I'he ne cessity of an organization for the emi gration of our own redundant popula tion is recognized by all, bnt it would be a national calamity if we sent away the best, the strongest and most skilled of our wurUirigmen and w omen to seek their fortunes in our colonies, and per mitted the in trod net ii n of :n alien pop ulation, unskilled, many of them with habits that are repugnant to I'nplish people, capable of livinpon such meaner fare that they reduce the rale of waires to tin lowest possible point. Yet this is being done at the present time. The persecuted .lews have duriinf the last four months arrived in Kngland in numbers greatly exceeding those .f pre vious years, and this during the time of the pa.ssovcr and Lastcrtide. w hen the poorest .lew. if possible, refrains from traveling. Nevertheless, I ..",00 a ni-.iith has been the excess over those that ar rived during the year ls'Jl, and at the present time w e are not only threatened with, but are sui'Vring from, an influx of anarchists from the continent, w ho are fleeing from the courts of justice in their own country. It is sincerely to be hoped that parlia ment will not rise until a very stringent measure for the suppression of obnox ious immigration has been passed. Our transatlantic cousins, with unlimited land rc.iiirinp a largo supply of labor, decline to permit the introduction of unskilled pauper laliorcrs. With our trreatlyredundaiitpi pulation.it is in iiuitcly more ncces-sary t hat such a re striction should be carried into o fleet in this country. NESTING IN A TRAP.

Thry Have Knoruou Apetltea anU Are) Dreaded by Man and Iteaat. "The most terrible of instvts are the 'driver ants' of West Africa." said an entomolojrist to a Washington Star mart. "They are so called liecause they drive before them while on the march all other living1 creatures, no animal ik infr able to withstand them. No Wast, however formidable, dares to cross their track, and thej- will destroy on a single iiirht all the pips and fowls on a farm. The huffe ipnuana lizards fall victims to them, as do bnakes and other reptiles. It is said that they ln-pin their attack on the snake by biting its eyes and so blinding the rey. which, instead of runnintr away, writhet, helples-slj- in one sjxit. Natives of Africa a-ssert that when the preat python has crushed its captive in its folds it does not devour it at once but makes a circuit of at least a mile in diameter to see whether an army of driver ants is on the march in the neighborhood. If so it glides off anil abandons its prey, which will soon W eaten by the ants. If an army of these ants approaches a village the en tire population is compelled to fly. Sometimes the people may be obliged to take to the water in order to save them selves. Tlie insects travel in the night and on cloudy days lncause they are quickly killed by the direct rays of the sun. Should the sun come out while they are making a journey they con struct a continuous arch over their path out of earth agglutinated by a fluid excreted from their mouths. In cloudy weather an arch for the protec tion of the marching workers is con structed of the lxnlies of the larger soldi:r ants, whose widely extended jaws, lonjr legs and projictinj autena intertwining, form a sort of network. In ease of an alarm the arch is instaut lv broken and the insects which com posed it join tt her soldierson the flanks of the line, who .scern to Ik acting as scouts, running alout furiously in pur suit of the enemy. The alarm over, the arch is renewed and the column pro ceeds as before." ABUSES OF NATURALIZATION. Foreigners at Kle-rt ion Time 4.lveii C'ltl-ze-iiM' KiKlits Without !&iii; Sttorn. The real question alxut immigration is less the danger from the sheer num ber of people than from the abuse of naturalization. The national naturali zation law as it stands is ineflieient to prevent the grave abuses that now dis grace most of our states, and esjecially the "pivotal" states. How theseabu.ses could be stopped radically is clearly jnintetl out in the Forum I13 1'rof. John 15. Moore, late assistant secretary of state, and as high an authority as there is on this subject. In discussing the abuse and the remedy l'rof. Mtxre says: "The obvious intention of congress was that the naturalization of aliens should 1h a judicial process, resulting in a formal and recorded judgment of the court. In the early times, when the principal legislation on the subject was framed, this end was easily attained. The basis of the law now in force was laid in the act of The numlier of immigrants who came to the I'nited States in 1S'20 was only slightly greater than that of the persons who have in recent years been admitted to citizen ship in a single court in the days pre ceding a general election. The process of naturalization has now degenerated into a clerical act. attended with scaret ly so much formality as the or dinary certification of a re-cord. Im mediately before elections, when the greatest eare should l exercisl, men are brought into our courtrooms by the hundred and admittd to citizenship by clerks as rapidly as the meager printed forrus can le filled up and signed. In many cases they are not even sworn upon their so-called examination, and the witnesses who are admitted to prove their qualifications are sometimes pro fessional perjurers, utterly without knowledge of the facts as to which they assume to testify. It is not ex travagant to say that in this way thou sands of persons have been enabled to participate in our elections without ever havinr fulfilled the requirement as to residence prescribed by our naturaliza tion laws." GREELEY IN GOOD SOCIETY. He Once Iln.-1 In .lull with a Irlnce. m Count and a ltaron. When Horace (Jreeley visited Faris in Iv." he was the victim of a mistake that caused him to spend a night behind the bars of the debtors' pri.son of the Rue de t'lichy. A French sculptor had sent a statue for exhibition to the world's fair at New York, of which Mr. Greeley was one of the managers; the statue had leen icturned in an injured condi tion, and tlie sculptor took the method of causing Mr. Greeley's arrest to re cover damages. A friend of Mr. Gree ley, Mr. Field, went to the prison the next morning. When he entered the large common room in which the pris oners anil their friends were assembled, the Youth's Companion says, he saw a singular scene. In one corner squatted a laboring man in his blouse, surround ed by his wife and children, who had brought him some delicacies for his. Sunday dinner. In another corner lounged a fashionably-dressed young1 gentleman. The room was filled with the most strangfly contrasted groupes. "Standing iu the middle of it," saj s Mr. Ficid, "wearing his old white over coat, and with his hat on the back of his head, his countenance wreathed in smiles, flanked on either' side by a United. States minister, stood Horace J reeley. To refrain from laughing; was impossible. " 'Field,' he exclaimetl, 'this has been one of the most fortunate incidents iu my life! Without it I doubt if I ever should have had the opportunity to see good society. You know I know noth ing about it at home. I have never as sociated with the people who compose it there. I dare say they are very gixnl eople, but they are not my people. Last evening at dinner we had a prince at the head of the table, and I was flanked on one side by a count and m the other side by a baron. If I only re main here long enough I shall notonly learn the French language, but good manners into the bargain.' " Of course when the ease came up for trial Mr. Greeley was released. POISONOUS SNUFF. Chrome Yellow Euiuloyed to Give It Color. An old New Yorker who takes snuff regularly wrote to Sanitary Superin tendent Cdson a few days ago to com plaiu,tliat some snuff which he had been using hail caused inflammatory symp toms which suggested poison. Dr. Kdson examined the sample of scuff which was sent with the complaint and dis covered that chromate of lead.known in the trade as "chrome yellow," had been mixetl with the snuff to brighten it. He next ascertained where the snuff was manufactured in the city and called the manufacturer for an explana tion. Subsequently the manufacturer declared that he had used the poison ous color in the snuff by mistake, sup posing that he was using a harm less means of improving the appear ance of the article. He promised to stop using "chrome yellow," and als consented to tlestroy some of his stock which had been colored with it. Sev eral years ago Dr. Ed&on destroyed large quantities of candy which hail been colored with "chrome yellow" and compelled the candy -makers to stop using the poison. 91 and 93 Fifth Avenue, PITTSBURG, HAS PUT WORKWOMEN and TOILERS Whether With Hands or Head, TAKE THIS TO HEART.

Ili-s haunts are supposed to be in forests safe from the overflow of rivers, in the mountains or hill .districts and on the arid plains of the west, where it seldom rains. In the popular mind the snake is associated with drynet., and no one speaks of the swamp rattler. Hut, like a great many other popular beliefs, this is wide of the mark. On the Texas coast we have a great many broad btxlies of water, and frequently mile after mile of traokless waste in tervenes between point and point or island and island. The experienced boatmen who travel these broad bays and bayous can tell a different story about the rattler. They know that his favorite place of abode is along the water fronts where sufficient conceal ment can be had, and that a swim of a few miles is but a pastime. . Said an old boatman to a reporter for the Lavaca (Tex.) Lavacaen: "I have seen rattlers swimming far out in Matagorda bay, at least eiht miles from the nearest point of land. They seem to have a location in view, and nothing can make them turn back or depart from their course. I have tried to make them face about or move along a different point of the compass, but all to ho purpose. The snake loses much of his courage and ferocity in the water, for instinct teaches him that he cannot strike to advantage. He swims well and will try to escape, and 1 liave known them to dive, but the regular route will always be resumed, and the bee returning to the hive with a de posit of gathered sweets to be converted into honey could not be more exacting." It is the testimony of all who have made a study of the rattler that he will always try to return to the place of his birth. We have an illustration of tbe force of this instinct' of nature on the Texas coast. Fronting on the gulf of Mexico in places are low sand islands, partly covered with cactus, brush and other vegetation in addition to the na tive grasses. These islands are the h mes of hundreds of rattlers. They were submerged in the great storm of 1ST5 and every living thing washed away, and not a snake remained. They were found in swarms on the mainland for days after the storm, but it was noticed that 'they gradually disappeared, and it was soon discovered that they returned home by swimming across the bays and bayous, and the succeeding season found as many of the dangerous reptiles on the islands as ever. No rattler was drowned, and the hope entertained by the returning people that they were all destroyed was soon dispelled. Another popular lielief about the rattler not based on fact is that they cannot stand cold weather. Iti- a fact they are not found in the tropical countries of Cen tral and South America. They have been seen moving about when a heavj frost prevailed, and they flourish as well in Pennsylvania or Kansas as they do in Texas or Florida. Like the tur key, the rattler is native to the North American continent. WALLED LAKE OF IOWA. Xsarly Throe Thoiuand Arret of Water Inclosed by Natural lionndary. The vast region which lies to the west of the Mississippi river is well provided with wonders in the shape of natural and artificial curiosities. Devil's tower, Spirit lake, Christ's table, the lied Snow mountain, the geysers of the Yellow stone park, besides many minor oddi ties, being among the number, but none has a more widespread fame than the wonderful "walled lake" in Wright county, Iowa. The lake occupies a ground surface of two thousand eight hundred acres, and its entire surface is from four to ten feet higher than any point of Land in the immediate vicinity, the waters being kept in bounds by an immense natural or artificial stone wall composed of bowlders estimated to weigh from one hundred pounds up to three tons each. In some places, where two or three of the larger stones lie close together, the interstices are chinked with smaller bowlders so evenly and in such a workmanlike manner as to preclude all idea of its be ing the work of other than intelligent beings. Originally the wall was from ten to fifteen feet in height, very broad at the bottom and tapering up to an av erage of four feet at the top. Some scientists argue that the wall is the re sult of consecutive freezing of the tea ters of the lake that the action of the ice on the sides of the embankment forced the stones into tlieir present po sition. The Philadelphia lress says that those who take this view of the matter have failed to notice that, al though there is plenty of stone in Wright couaty, there is absolutely none within a radius of ten i tiles cf the lake. Those who believe the work to have been done by prehistoric man claim that at one time the vicinity of the lake was strewn with bowlders (as is most of northern Iowa, having been one of the regions that was covered with the de bris of the glacial age), but that they w-ere all gathered up by the busy beings of long ago and fashioned into the wall which causes so much amazement in the Hawkeye of to-day. CURIOUS COINS. French Flee as of Which Only a Few Were Strpek. Numismatists or coin collectors have inU resting objects of search in two coin .which belong to the transitu. n period between the French republic and the Second empire, says the Youth's Companion. One of these is an extreme ly rare coin which was struck oft just at the moment of the assumption of the reins of empire by Napoleon III. Only the die for the obverse or head of a new imperial coin had been complet ed, and by some accident, or possibly by mischievous design, a coin was struck olT which bore the head of "Napoleon III.. Emperor," on one side, and "French lie public" on the other. This contradictory coin is of interest to others than numismatists, for it sym bolizes in a striking way tlie many sud den changes which have taken place in French politics in the past century. With the other coin a singular story is connected. . While IxuU Napoleon was "prince president," and just before he made himself emperor, a decree was is sued ordering' a five-franc silver piece to lie coined bearing his image. The dies were made, and one coin was struck off as a sample and sent to the prince president for approval. Hut some time passed before he examined it. When at last he gave it his atten tion he was annoyed to find that he had been represented on the coin with a "love-lock." or hooked lock of hair on the temple, which he did actually wear at that period, but which he thought unsuitable to so dignified and perma nent a representation of himself as an effigy upon a coin. The prince president sent for the di rector of the mint, rand ordered him to remove the "lore-lock." Then he found that his silence with regard to the piece had been taken for approval, and that the stamping of the coins had com menced. The work was stopped, and the im age deprived of it undignified lock; . but the twenty-three coins that had already been struck off were not de stroyed, and are now regarded as of great ' valu.
