Thoy usod abuslvo languago and woro or

tbo nowa from Jcddah that tbo British
consul and vice consul, tho Russian acting
consul und the French consular secretary
woro attacked and shot at outside tho

In dlplomatlo circles.
Tho British vlco consul, ng olroady ca
bled, was killed, and the British consul
was slightly wounded. Tho other consular
oilicors wero seriously wounded. Tho
shooting Is attributed to Bedouins.
This is regardod as a confirmation of tho
rumors whloh havo bcon current for sonio
tlmo past ot a contemplated uprising of
tho Mosloms in Arabia against tho Chris
tian population, and that tho grcon bannor
of the Mohammedans would again bo raised
In a florco religious war.
Theso outbreaks of tho fanatical follow
ers of tho prophot havo been frequent In
tbo past, and tho present aots of vlolonco
reportod would stem to Indicate that a
general massacre of tho Christians in
Arabia was Imminent.
Jeddah Is tho port of Mecca on tho Red
eea and is on tho routo by which hosts of
pilgrims from all tho Moslem counties in
the oast reach tho shrlno of Moh&mmod.
Its Inhabitants are a fanatical peoplo of
tho most extremo typo, and tho religious
forvor of tho Ignorant poople is always
kept at tho boiling point.
Tho wholo of tho surrounding country
Is populated by tribes of Bedouins, mostly
of tbo roving sort, though somo settlo in
small viliagos, and tho fow European resi

Tho Hon. Lovl Parsons Morton, govern

Governor Morton by no word to any of
his Republican frionds has over Intimated

PARSON CHOWNC.
A Peculiar Chnractcr In tho W'jrel of
"The Maid of Skcr."
Mr. Blackmoro worked Into 1?h r.tory
tho character of a notorious pal of par
sons in tho sumo portion of tho county.
Parson Chowno actually was rector of
Knowstone, and tho tradition of his evil
deeds is by no means fnded out of recollec
tion. Tlio peoplo toll still of tho manner
in which ho rovonged himself upon any
farmer who offended him. Ho bad two
methods. Ono was to Invito tho man
against whom ha meditated evil to dine
r-tfh him, when ho would ply him with
liquor, nnd when his guest drovo away,
down a story, nnd rugged hill, tho linch
pin of ono ut Ills wheels would corao out!
nnd tho man bo thrown from his trap and
break neck or leg or arm. The other way
wns less 6ovoro. Ho would say beforo Bomo
man whom ho could trust, "I wondor how
bad Farmer X. would feel wero his rick
to bo flredf" Noxt night tho rick would
bo in flainos. Chowno nover entered into
alllanco with tho savages of Coleridge.
Nor did ho ond his days torn to pieces by
dogs, as represented in tho novel. Several
of tho talcs told of him in "Tho Maid of
Skcr" aro, however, true, as is that of bis
having Introduced on applo pip into the
cyo ot a horeo that belonged to a baronet
to tho neighborhood, against whom bo
bora n grudgo.
Thu story Is told of Parson Chowno that
tho bishop uf Exeter sent word that ho
would visit falm. Chowno had a portion of
tho road dug up and llllnl with poat wa
ter and then covered over with sticks and
f urzo and a sprinkling of soil. Tho bishop's
carriage wont in, and tho bishop was up
set, but Henry of Exctor was not tho man
to bo stopped by such a matter as a break
down not on tho road, but of tho road
and bo walked forward on foot.
"Mr. Chowno," sold ho, "I'vo heard
strango stories of you."
"Wool, my lord," answered tho rector,
"so hev I of you. But, my lord, us bo
gentlemen, you and I, and us pays no no
tlco to tho chlttcr chatter ot a pars'l o'
fulcs."
Nothing could be brought homo to
Chowno. Ho was far too (.'ever a man to
allow himself to bo cauglit in his malprac
tice. Toward tbo end of his days ho re
signed bis living and resided in a houso
of his own. Atalanta.
OMNIPRESENT HYDROGEN.
One of the Commonest Elements of the
Earth nnd the Universe.
No result of spectroscopic research
among tho heavenly bodies has been moro
reraarkablo than that which demonstrates
tho extraordinary abundnnco with which
tho oloment hydrogen Is diffused through
out tho unlvcrso. It Is, of course, ono of
tbo commonest oloments of tho cartb.enter
ing, as it docs, Into the composition of ev
ery drop of water. Hydrogen Is also a con
stituent part of n vast number of solid
bodies, but tho romarkablo circumstance
for our present purpose Is that this same
element is found in profusion olsowhero.
Surrounding that visual glowing globo of
tho sun tboro Is an invislblo atmosphero,
of which hydrogen Is one of tho most
prominent components.
A liko conclusion is drawn from tho
spectra of many of tho stars. In tho caso
of certain 6peolaIJy whito and brilliant
goms, of which Slrlua and Vega may bo
taken as tho types, tho chief spectroscopic
fcaturo is tho extraordinary abundance in
which hydrogen is present. Even In tho
dim and distant nobulaj gaseous hydrogen
Is tho constituent moro easily recognized
than any othor which they may possess.
Indeed it may bo affirmed that wo do not
know any other substance which is so
widely diffused as hydrogen.
It need hardly bo said that this gas is
an important constituent in thoso com
pound bodies with which llfo is associated.
In that somewhat growsomo exhibition
which shows tho actual quantities of tho
sovoral clemonts of which an ovcrago hu
man body Is composed tho bulk of tho hy
drogen forms ono of tho most striking
items, and indeed in connection with all
forms of animal and vcgctablo llfo hydro
gen is of primary Importance. In tho, ar
gument from analogy for tho cxlstcnco of
llfo In other worlds It Is significant to
note that an olemont associated in such an
cmphatio manner with the manifestation
of llfo here should now bo shown to bo
Widespread through tho universe. Sir

Employer and Companion.
Ono of tho most lrapsrtant secrets of a
hunting expedition is this: "Nover allow
yourselves any luxuries In a 'tight placo'
which your men havo no sharo In," Tbo
English sportsman whose advice wo havo
quoted tells how he was rewarded in tbo
Caucasus for treating his men as comrades
and sharing camp comforts with them.
Ilo says:
One chilly night among tbo mountains
I nwoko nt 3 o'clock to find myself warm
and snug under two extra nativo blankets.
Tho owners ot tho blankets woro squat
ting on their hams, almost In tbe flro, and
talking to pass tho long, cold hours until
down.
Having rated them for tholr folly and
mauo them tako baok tholr blankets and
turn In, I rolled over and slept again.
When I noxt woko, it was 7 o'clook, and
tho men woro still crouching over the em
bers, helping to cook breakfast, their blan
kets having boen replaced upon my shoul
ders. I bad paid thoso men oft tbo day before
this happened, and they left mo tho noxt
morning with a hearty "God be with
you," unconscious that they had dono
anything more than tho propor thing to
ward their employer and companion.
