London has completed its list of inter
national temples by a Mohammedan
mosque—the first ever built in Great
Britain. Still the total number of the
London Turks is not believed to be over
300, while every other great nation of
Europe is represented by tens of thous
ands. With all her misrule grievances,
remarks the Voice, the nations of Islam
are, indeed, less disposed to show dis
content by emigration than any other
race on earth.
Our Consul at Victoria furnishes the
cheerful information that the Chinese in
British Columbia are diminishing in num
ber. Of course, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, this means that they are leas
ing the province to inflict themselves on
us, and yet there are people who profess
to regard the presence of the Mongolian
4 undesirable who strenuously oppose
every proposition to introduce a system
of identification which will prevent
moonlight immigration.
Much interest is felt in the success of
the new invention of Mr. Allen, of Tus
caloosa, Ala., which, it is claimed, will
spin cotton from the seed, without going
through the process of ginning, arrang
ing the fibre, etc. It is apparent that if
this invention proves successful, it will
not only be an important and valuable
one in reducing the expense of manufac
turing cotton,but it will hasten the trans
fer of the cotton-mills of the country tc
the cotton-producing region.
The Viceroy of Oliih-li Province, Li
Hung Chang, is a leading statesman in
China. His official residence is in
Tientsin. Not long since, as the veteran
missionary, the Rev. Dr. Edkius, was
passing through this city, he was favored
with an interview with the Viceroy, in
which there was much conversation re
garding Christian missions. In reply to
inquiries of the Viceroy, Dr. Edkius
stated that there were 540,000 Roman
Catholic converts and 35,000 Protestants
in China.
The Russian nobles are rushing to
bankruptcy in great numbers. The
credit bank for lending money (o them
on mortgage on their land, established by
the Government two or three years ago,
has now no less than two thousand es
tates which will have to be sold by pub
lic auction at the end of this year for
non-payment of interest on loans. The
question is: Who will buy this enormous
amount of property? If neither the
bank not the Government buy it, there
will be 2000 noble landowners ruined by
an institution which was established by
the Government for their special help.
Interesting experiments in silk culture
have been made by Superintendent Ellen
C. Jackson in the Woman's Reformatory
at Sherbon, Mass. The worms were fed
upon mulberry leaves and the cocoonery
was placed in a large room. At the end
of six weeks the worms stopped feeding
and began throwing silken lines from
their mouths over twigs placed in the co
coonery. It took on an average four
days to finish a cocoon and three days
longer to pass into the chrysalis state.
The hours in which the moths burst the
cocoons in greatest number are the first
three or four after sunrise. The moths
mate at once and the best female moth
will lay from four hundred to seven hun
dred eggs. The thread of a tine cocoon
will measure about one thousand three
hundred and fifty yards. The larv® re
semble small black worms and, if prop
erly fed, will not travel more than three
feet during growth from egg to cocoon, a
period of six weeks.
The disclosures made in the course of a
suit by Edward Morgan against the estate
of Joseph W. Drexel, for a £20,000 pic
ture, which the plaintiff claims was
bought by Mr. Drexel, but never paid
for, affect the genuineness of a large
number of paintings by "old masters'"
and noted artists that hang on the walls
of New York residences. In a letter by
Mr. Drexel, which is introduced as ev
idence, he tells about a ring of picture
dealers in Paris through whom spurious
paintings are turned out to be sold on the
American market. In the opinion of the
New York Graphic , "there is no doubt
that such a ring does exist. Not a few
oil paintings bearing the signatures of
noted artists have been bought by
wealthy Americans, sometimes at fancy
prices, who have afterward discovered
that they had been imposed upon. There
is an intimation in the suit that men
like Mr. Drexel purchased these pictures
at low prices, held them for a consider
able period, and then sold them as
genuine, which it was possible to do with
the added weight of their names. This
is incorrect as to Mr. Drexel, because he
was not a picture seller, lie kept what
he bought. But it may lie the method
by which so many bogus paintings get
into American homes."
MODERN TORTURE.
THE SWEAT-BOX" AS AN AID TO
TIIK DETECTIVE.
Steam Turned Upon "Crooks" Until
TJipy Wilt mul "Squeal" on
Other Thieves—A Most
ItelineU Torment.
"Detectives have many devices for
! inducing suspected criminals to confess,"
I remarked a well-known member of the
| local force, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
I "Probably you have noticed in the papers
during the excitement over the Cronin
mystery that such and such a suspect was
in the 'sweat-box.' You don't know
what that means, eh?"
The reporter signified that he was
ignorant on the subject and would like
to be enlightened.
"Well, you've taken a Turkish bath?"
continued the detective. "It's a very
pleasant thing when you go in for an
hour or so, and can lie on smooth marble
slabs and receive the attention of skilled
operators. But just imagine if you had
to take the bath in a dirty iron box, dark
as the blackest night, and instead of a
marble couch, extend yourself on a rough
board. And then, instead of only au
hour, you had to remain in the place
three, four and even ten days, with no
body to rub you down and wrap you in
soft blankets. You know how weak one
of those baths makes you even when you
stay only a short time in a place with
such luxurious appointments. Probably
you can realize how several days in an
iron 'sweat-box' would make you wilt.
"Such is the 'sweater" which the
Chicago detectives use to force a confes
sion from suspects. It is 'way down in
the basement under Police Headquarters,
and in a large, close room. In the cen
ter of this apartment is what might be
termed a cage, except that it has no bars.
There are eight cells or divisions in this
cage. In the opening corridors or space
surrounding it are four gaslights, simply
sufficient to dimly light the place. Kach
cell has a small wicket through which
bread and water can be thrust once a day.
Sometimes the prisoner is given only the
liquid, especially if he is a very stubborn
subject.
"The wall* of the cells are thick sheets
of iron, through which not the slightest
sound can pass. Of course the darkness
is intense, and broken only by a few rays
when the wicket is unfastened from the
outside and opened. Talk about dun
geons, there never was one that could
furnish the refined torture one of those
'sweaters'is capable of. All around the
walls of the big room are pipes communi
cating with the steam boiler. The tem
perature can be increased to any desired
degree, and moderated so as to prevent
any serious results. I can tell you, though,
it is kept pretty high all the time. The
subject, of course, has to peel oil all his
clothes, but when he gets tired of stand
ing there is only the rough bench to lie
upon, and just think of placing your ten
der, bare fiesh on a bed of that kind.
"It is not the ol<l toughs that are
treated to these involuntary baths, but
well-known thieves or men used to the
comforts of the best hotels. The expert
crook, while at times not overly pro
vided with funds, always has the best
the land affords. It is necessary in his
business that he should put up at promi
nent hotels, and the life itself gives hiui
a likiug for the luxuries. Crooks and
gamblers are among the best dressers and
highest livers that walk the streets. Take
a man used to such comforts and place
him in the 'sweater' I've described, and
how long do you suppose he will hold
out?
"For instance, a noted crook or con
fidence man drops into the city. You
generally find such people about the
leading hotels and public resorts. The
detective watches for two or three days,
and then some evening, as he stands
picking his teeth in front of the hotel,
he is quietly tapped on the shoulder and
informed that the chief wants to see him.
He is walked away to headquarters and
has a very pleasant interview with the
chief. Of course, the crook knows noth
ing and is merely passing through the
city, or else paying it a harmless visit.
•Well, we'll hold you a little while, any
how,' remarks the chief, who expected
no information at that time; 'take him
down.' The crook is placed in the
'sweater.' Probably there are others
undergoing the torture. If not the
steam is turned on at intervals.
"Next day, if the chief thinks of it,
the crook is again called up into the of
fice. If he is not ready to talk he is soon
sent back. He can't talk with anybody,
and is in constant darkness and perspira
tion. Maybe the chief forgets all about
him for a few days, or perhaps the crook
informs the turnkey that he would like
to talk to the chief. If he is very stub
born he is firmly told that the police
know he has some useful information,
and that be will be held until he spits it
out. Very probably the police arc work
ing simply on general principles. Anyhow
ii lew days experience in the 'sweater'
will briug the crook to a very complacent
mood.
"He knows he'has (got to* purchase his
freedom, and the only way is to betray
some other crook. When ho reaches this
state of feeling he is taken before the
chief. If he hasn't been doing something
himself he probably knows somebody
who has. The result is«that he gives the
chief information whichiwill throw light
on some known crime. Frequently-in
this way the police get. onto robberies
that they knew nothing about. If the
information proves correct' the crook is
turned up or released, and given the ad
vice to gently slip out of town.
"These subjects for the 'sweater' are
almost invariably professional thieves,
and the detectives run no risk in holding
them. They merely take the chance that
the crook knows something, and nine
times out of ten the result shows they
are right. Such men, wluitcver the ro
mance thrown around them, are no bet
ter than the commonest thieves, and de
serve no more consideration. New York
has a place somewhat like Chicago's
'sweater,' and to this system is due most
of Inspector Byrnes's success as a thiel
catcher."
The Regimental Seamstress.
A Washington letter to the Cleveland
Lender contains a war anecdote of the
late Mrs Hayes. Her husband was Colo
nel of the Twenty-third Ohio Regiment,
and she was accustomed to make occa
sional visits to the front, where she was
always received with the greatest enthu
siasm, all the men looking upon her as
an angel of mercy. While the Twenty
third was lying in camp in Western Vir
ginia, a squad of recruits'joined the reg
iment. One of them coidd not be satis
fled till he had another pocket in his
blouse, in which to carry< the gimcracks
which every veteran despised, but which
he had not yet learned to do without.
The first day in camp he'inquired of the
boys where he could get such a job done,
and one of the wags of theicompany saw
a good chance of a joke.
"Certainly," said he to the fledgling.
"We have a regimental seamstress for
doing just such jobs as that. There she
is," and he pointed to Mrs. Hayes, who
was sitting on a camp-chair in front of
the Colonel's tent. "Take your blouse
to her, and she'll do it up brown."
The innocent recruit stalked boldly up
to headquarters, threw off his blouse, and
handed it to the future mistress of the
White House, asking if she would putin
a pocket for him, and remarking, with a
patronizing air, that he would pay her
well for it.
"Of course I will," said Mrs. Hayes.
"Come back in an hour, and I'll have it
ready for you."
She set to work with scissors and
needle, and when the young patriot
called for his blouse, lie found in it as
nice a pocket as his own mother could
have made.
"How much?" he asked, taking out
his pocket-book.
"Oh, nothing at all! I was glad to do
it for you. You are very welcome."
While the soldier was expressing his
thanks, Colonel Hayes came out of the
tent.
"Do you know me, my man,"he said,
pleasantly, extending his hand to the
soldier.
The latter, somewhat abashed by the
official presence, said he did not.
"Well, my name is Hayes, and I am
Colonel of this regiment. Allow me, sir,
to introduce to you my wife."
The young man retired in great confu
sion—but he had the pocket in his blouse.
A Peep at Pasteur.
In a letter to the Charleston Hews and
Courier, a Paris correspondent says: Per
haps the most interesting feature of the
work to many of the visiting students was
the visit to the Pasteur Institute, where
we were received by Monsieur Pasteur,
and shown through the halls and labora
tories of the institution, which has been
erected by popular subscription and
placed under his control. The great sci
entist is a modest, unassuming man,
a trifle below medium height, with a
slight limp in the right leg; whether
temporary or not Ido not know. His
gray hair is short and his beard, also gray,
is short-cropped. His face wears a look
of intense thought, which does not relax
even when a smile comes to light it up.
As is but just, Pasteur's popularity is
great in Paris, and when he stood at tho
entrance of the institute that bears his
name, and with his favorite grandchild,
a tiny little girl standing by his side, wel
comed the representatives of the universi
ties of every land cotno to pay homage to
the greatest scientist of his time, there
broke forth from the ranks of lusty
throated students cries loud and long of
"Long live Pasteur!" Afterward, at the
Hotel de Ville reception, when he walked
through the rooms leaning on the arm of
the President of the City Council, I saw
him receive a perfect ovation, cries of
"Vive Pasteur!" following him wherever
he went.
Arthur MeClellan, a brother of the fa
mous General, is engaged in business at
Drifton, Penu. He is about fifty years
old, of medium height and was a Major

In Dublin, a small town in Laurens
County, Ga., there lives a blue man. He
is a Caucasian,but instead of being white

is seen the same ghastly greenish-blua
color.
A Painted Diamond.
There is one pawnbroker in Washing
ton who has lost all faith in human hon
esty. Several months ago a nicely dressed
man entered his shop and displayed a
pair of diamond earrings, upon which he
desired to secure a loan. The stones had
that peculiar bluish white color so highly
prized among lovers of diamonds, and
the pawnbroker readily advanced him
$250 on them.
The stranger departed, and indue
course of time the pawnbroker tried to
dispose of them. lie exhibited the dia
monds to a well-known dealer, who said
if they would stand the test they were
easily worth SISOO. The stones were re
moved from their settings and placed in
a bottle of alcohol. Then they were
shaken for about five minutes, taken out
and carefully cleaned. From the beauti
ful bluish white they had become as yel
low as the. Chinese flag, and not worth
over $75.
The expert said afterward: ' 'These
itoncs are painted. The process is a
simple one. A small piece of indelible
pencil is dissolved in a teacup of water.
The yellow diamond is then painted with
a fine camel's hair brush dipped in the
preparation, aud the stone is allowed to
dry. The paint will wear off in time,
but nothing will remove it quickly but
alcohol. No reputable dealer will have
anythiug to do with such stones, but we
have to keep a pretty sharp lookout for
just such tricks as that one I exposed a
tew moments ago.''— Boston Traveler.
