Fearful Odor* of the Laboratory and How They Are Made. "Bad smells are a drawback to my branch of science," said a chemist to a writer for The Star. "But we soon get used to thera. Berzelius, who discovered the element railed "selenium.' once tried the experiment of permitting a bubble of pure hydrogen selenide gas to enter his nostril. For days afterward he was not able to smell strong ammonia, the olfac tory nerves being temporarily paralyzed. "Compounds of sulphur generally are dis tinguished by their horrible cdors. I knew a student In Berlin who was wor ing up some of :hes.? compounds, going evety Jay from the laboratory to take lunch at a neighboring restaurant. If he picked up a newspaper there to read the next person who happened to attempt the perusal of that newspaper was apt to lose his appetite immediately. It was the same way with anything else that he touched, so that the management of the eating house was obliged to ask him to withdraw his custom. "If sulphur compounds are bad in this re spect, those of selenium are worte, while thos^ of tellurium are most dreadful of all. A physician told me once that a lady who was a patient of his refused to take an ab solutely ne. essary test because she was so fond of bebig always on the go in society. He gave her a pill containing a small quantity of tellurium compound, and her breath w is affected by It to such an extent that she was not able to appear In public for a month. She never guessed what the trouble was. "Speaking of ammonia. you probably know that nearly all of the commercial supply of that article Is obtained nowadays from the works which produce illuminating gas. The coal gas as it comes from tiie retort is passed through water to purify it. The ammonia It contains is retained by the water. Ammonia is a large Item of the revenue yielded by gas works. In Its free state it is a gas. of course. "One gallon of watjr will dissolve 1.14S gallons of ammonia gas, at a temperature of zero. The strength of the ammonia you buy depends on the amount of the gas it contains in solution. As you have doubt less observed, the so-t ailed household am monia of the dry goods and apothecary shops Is a vtry weak article, often not worth the 5 or 10 cents a bottle paid for It. "Sel. nlum gas has the odor of putrid Jiorseradish. The element is related to sul r'hur. It occurs In a pure state In cavl ies in Vesuvian lavas. It is found in cop per and in Iron pyrites; also occasionally In meteoric Iron. Its only practical use Is for experiments in certain phenomena of light. I<ight changes Its electrical resist ance. so that it is possible, to measure the Intensity of a beam of light by the extent to which the electrical resistance of a bar <jf selenium is afTected. "It is on this peculiarity of the substance that Uraham Bell's 'photophone' Is based. That instrument has not proved of practi cal value, but some interesting experiments Were made with it a tew years ago in Washington. Messag.-s were transmitted from the top of one building to the top of another half a mile away by sounds pro duced by light, a liar of selenium being connected with the receiver of a tele phone."

Hhtindriplainii* Determined to Re trieve Their Late Defeat. PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. September 28.? The eleven gentlemen of Philadelphia who stepped out on th? grassy turf at Mannheim this morning for their scond international cricket contest with Lord Hawke's English team were the most resolute-looking lot of cricketers who ever bowled ball or wielded bat. They seemed determined to wipe out the Ignominy of their recent defeat at the hands of the Britons. They realized that they xtarted In last week's match with a surplus of confidence and a deficit of stay ing power, anil the rude shock with which they were enlightened on that occasion served to fortify them today with an extra supply of caution. Ever since the last match they, ns well as their English cousins, have been doing hard Work at practice on the Mannheim field, which is generally conceded to be bet ter than that at Haveri'ord. Only one change had been made in the makeup of the American team since last week s play. Harry I. Brown being sub stituted for W. W. Noble.

SOUTH AMERICA SATISFIED Venezuela, Colombia and Haiti Are Pleased With the Tariff BilL lly It? PriiTlnliiM They Arc Relieved of the Retaliatory Policy Adopted by President Harrison. The representatives of three of the re publics, Venezuela. Colombia and Haiti, take considerable satisfaction out of the fact that while the new tariff law in this country abrogates the reciprocity treaties between this country and Brazil, Nicaragua. Salvador. Guatemala and other countries, it has the reverse effect as to them, as it does away with the retaliatory policy which President Harrison announced by proclama tion against Colombia, Venezuela and Haiti. This proclamation was issued March 15, IKm'J, because the three countries had not, up to that time, entered into reciprocity ar rangements. It suspended the free list on sugar, coffee, hides and molasses, and es tablished a duty of :t cents per pound on coffee, 1 :t-s to -J cents per pound on sugar, -1 cents per gallon on molasses and 1 1-2 cents per pound on hides. Kffeets I |?on Esporl*. These rates have since applied to only these three southern republics, while their neighboring republics enjoyed free entrance to this country on these goods. It hail the effect of cutting off most of the exports of the three countries of the United States, but it did not result in forcing them to yield to a reciprocity agreement. The Haytian sales to this country reached $2,15H>,0?0 before the retaliation, but after it they fell to 117,1100. The Colombian exports fell from J2.000.000 to $l,:n*?,<iUO. The Venezuela exports fell from $lo,mm,iN?i to f3,OOU,UOM. Heavy Trade Will Result. It practically cut off these countries from shipping coffee, sugar and hides to this country, as they could not pay the duties and compote successfully with their neigh bors, who paid no duties. This discrimina tion Is now removed, and Colombia. Ventz uela and Haiti are restored to the same po sition occupied by oth?r southern repub lics. It promises to revive the former ex tenslv; trade these countries had with the United States, and it also terminates the irritations that have arisen out of the re tallat'on and :he unsuccessful efforts to negotiate reciprocity treaties. -?-?^ Parker. llrl?l?et A I'o.'n Anniversary.

PHEPARIXfi TERRAPIN. A Reelpe Which la Recommended by an Eastern Shori-niun.

Thus patience and heat alone will accomplish the r?rsuIL,T The cook stands alert behind, with i rained fork or spit to catch the favorably motnent when the in tense heat renders' it linger Impossible to defend Us life?the hotter the stove the sooner will this be done. I have seen the feet almost burned off llrst. As soon as the head protrude* ever so little, give the fatal stab with mie band, and cut the throat with the other. Let It bleed, then throw Into boiling wator and remain until the lower shell Is easily removed. Every part of the terrapin is edible except the sand bag and gall, and n little of the gal] adds to the flavor. The liver should not be cut up. but preserved as whole as possible. He careful of the green fat, of which there are only two or three pieces, but which of Itself Is worth the price of the terrapin, however costly it may be. No food of the gods could ever vie with It. In preparing for the stew let the quarters l>e whole?no mincing; no .spice; no mustard; no hen's eggs; only plenty of cayenne pepper, a little salt, butter ad libitum, and a pint of thick cream to each terrapin; more if large and full of eggs, which should never be broken, except with the mouth of the epicure, even when old enough for the white cuticle to have formed. Then dust a little flour from a dredge box to give con sistency to the dressing; let It barely come to a boll once, and bold! the daintiest dish that mortal could Invite. Wine should not be used with creain; one or the other, never both; no nutmeg; nothing to destroy the fine flavor and aroma which has no com pare. The cooking of terrapin with pastry should be considered, if not a high crime, at least a misdemeanor, under the law; but this Is only done by those who would doubt less prefer "meat and greens," If also caught in their seines. Let all who can afford $75 a dozen for terrapin this winter use the foregoing teclpe, and they will never regret the cost. DOCTORS AMD THEIR FKKS. The Profession la Not Oae la U hick Litrjre Vortuuem Are Otten Made. Frum the St. Ionls IJloiwIVmixrut. "Although I never practiced medicine." said Isaac L. Morrison of New York, who was at the Llndell yesterday, "I walked the hospitals when young, and believe that I am still entitled to add the letters M. D. to n.y name. While serving as assistant phy sician at one of the city hospitals of New York I came to the conclusion that there was no money in medicine for me, and ac cordingly transferred my attention to com merce. Like a good many other young men I was attracted to the profession by hear ing of fees of Il.ttiO and upward being paid for operations which only occupied a few minutes. When, however, I came to look Into the question 1 modified my views. As a matter of fact, no doctor, as far as is known, has ever acquired a fortune much in exeei-s of $1,500,000. and statisticians say that there are njt ten millionaire physi cians in the world. Dr. IShmdell, the cele brated English doctor, died worth $1,500,0)10, and Sir William Gull, the man who saved the life of the Prince of Wales, earned enough to leave about a similar sum. There is no other case on record that I have ever heard of of a man in the profession acquir ing a fortune of this magnitude, and It must also be understood, as nine-tenths of successful physicians die in harness, they seldom spend a large proportion of their in come, and hence g#t very little practical ad vantage from the very large fees sometimes heard of." llNNe Hall Notes.

A complete re-examlnation of the pine lands of liie Chippewa reservation in Min re-sota is now being conducted by the in ttrior Department, and the returns received show many discrepancies which occurred In the tirst examination. More than five years ago a law was passed for the dis position of the last great body of pine land in Minnesota. All of the other great tracts in that state and in Michigan and Wis consin as well have passed into the hands of private individuals or lumbering corpora tions. in northern Minnesota there was a ioixe tract of pine owned by the Chippewa Indians. A bill was passed to s?'U the lands, and it provided for the examination of the lands by appraisers, who were to estimate the amount of pine oil each tract. Considerable time has been consumed in surveying the land. Since then an examina tion was ordered, Charges were made that the hrst examination was not accurate. Secretary Smith discharged the old ex aminers. and tiie new examination is pro gressing, showing that the pine estimators vary considerably in th'ir judgment as to the amount of pine on the vaiious tracts. After the second examination is completed there will be still a large amount of timber to be estimated. I odious Musi Mult for Their Money. The law provides that all this preliminary work must be done before any of the pine tun be sold. The money resulting from the sale of the land Is to draw Interest for the benefit of the Chippewas. Uut at the rate of progress now being made It will be five years before the sale can be commence-'.. An effort has been made to have the lands already examined and appraised sold and bills have been Introduced In Congress for that pur|>ose. It is probable that the effort will not be pressed now until the burned pine in the northwest Is disposed of, as that will have a tendency to overstock tht mar ket and result in a small price for the land. Vet the officials of the Interior Department recognise that the final dis]>o?ltlott of the land mav be long delayed and that It will be necessary to sell some of the land soon. There Is a commission operating among the Chippewas endeavoring to concentrate theiu and allot lands to them. As the entire expense that is being in curred in examination, re-examlnation and the commission, conies out of the proceeds to be derived from the s*le of the lands, the more intelligent Indians are becoming impatient :ind aiaimed, and feel that their money Is going very fast, an 1 that they are receiving no benefit from the sale of lands made five years ago. I'lrndlnit for More I'rogrrH, There have been protests of this kind made to th? Interior Department, and the officials have been urged to make more progress A1 reaily Secretary Smith has given orders to the commission to close up Its business with the least possible delay, as the im pression is that It can accomplish nothing more. No method has been devised for the disi>osition of the c*xamin<rs or hurrying the work. The attempt to sell the land meets with some opposition, because the grant to Minnesota for school lands has not yet been satisfied, and the state Is entitled to In demnity of two sections In each township for all land Included in the reservation. SOME POSTAL STATISTICS. Growth of the Money Order S>?te?u and Its lxislnic Operations. The anniversary of the establishment of the n.oney order system of the I'nlted States, thirty years ago. takes place on Novemlier 1. At the beginning of the first year the total number of money order of fices in the whole country' was 41?. and their transactions amounted, collectively, to only f^.nun. At the present time the num ber of money order offices Is 17,957, and the total ruinber of such orders issued In a ye ir amount to 13.(1*1,01?. The amount of money transferred amounts to |ian.0i??,nn0 a year and In addition to this sum RKi.OOO, two more changes hands In a year through foreign money orders. Eighteen million dollars a year Is sent out of the I'nlted States in the form of money orders to other countries, and tT.000,000 a year comes Into the I'nlted States through remittances from foreign countries. The net loss of the 1'nited States from this source Is $11,000, l??> a year. The remittances and receipts to Canada about offset each other?$l,r*J0, uuo each way. Trance and Germany send back about one-third of what they receive; so do Switz erland and Austria. Australia and the islands of the Pacific, and more especially Hawaii, remit more money to the I'nlted States In money orders than they take out of It, but the great discrepancies are to lie found in Ireland. Italy and Scandinavia. The remittances to Ireland are six times as much as the receipts from that country. To Sweden and Norway Is sent in a year $2,OOO.ouO; from them comes $200,000. To Italy Is sent $1,300,000; from Italy comes $70,000. The transactions of the money or der department, which are an Important feature of the post office business of the country, rhow a profit each year. About {(.(mo.01 to Is received In fees, and the whole expenses amount to about (3**0.000 a year. It is a peculiarity of the finances of the post office that as the business increases in volume the profits of operation advance in even greater ratio, and but for the exist ence of a vast number of petty, unpro ductive post offices, scattered throughout the south and far west, the business of the department, instead of entailing a small h ss, would yi ld a very considerable profit. The republican national convention In 1 In Chicago, declared for one-cent postage. If He Wan Hlichtly Informed. From the ItoMon Hernlil. I heard a story the other day of that now rare official, an old-fashioned clergyman. He Is settled over no church, but having been for a long time In cne parish he has performed the marriag ? ceremony for two generations, and baptized as many, and is always asked to tender the last rites to the dead, or, ut least, to assist In that solemn office. He Is always very comforting to the mourners, for the depart<-d Is sine of hea ven. Hut as he grew older his prayers grew longer and tiiesonu. One day the mother of a little family died suddenly, and the liereaved husband sent for their regular minister, and said: "I must invite old Dr. ltlank. for he nisr". rled us, and my wife loved him. but I can't endure his remarks. I want you to give him a small part of the service to save his feelings." The pastor thought he must give hjs senior the prayer, but Judge of his chagrin when the old gentleman, after a fulsome panegyric of the deceased, said: "And, O Lord, who will take the mother's pi ace with these dear little children, two of them.

The sons of princes and nobles?even our young king, while he Is yet only a boy are taught at home by the guru, or house hold priest, who Is supposed to be also a pundit, or very learned man. I.ater, the young men of tank are sent lo Patna, Benares, or Calcutta, where they iearn to speak English ind to wear English clothes, ami to tell the time of day by an English clock; for In Nepaul time is measured by means of a copper vessel, w th a small hole in the bottom, set afloat on a tank or pool. Sixty times a dav this kettle fills and sinks, and every time it sinks a gong Is struck; so that the day Is divided into sixty "gongs" or "bells" as sailors re-kon time aboard ship. The poor Hhootlya shepherds or the Newar women who make pottery In the fields say that the day is begun when they can count the tiles on the roof of a house, or when they can see the hairs on the back of a man's hand by holding it up against the light.

Speculative Situation Shows No Signs of Improvement. BEARS WORKING IN A NARROW RADIUS Gratifying Statement of Increased Pennsylvania Earnings. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Sp< < ill Dispatch to Th*1 Evening Star. NKW YOKK. September 2S.?The ter mination of a moderate co\*rlng movement in the Grangers at the opening of today a slock market deprived the entire active list of its only visible means of support. The general situation shows no signs of immedi ate improvement and the i?>int of resistance is seemingly as remote as when the cam paign against values was inaugurated. One stock after another is selected for hammer ins, and the only difficulty thus far has been in the selection. Once the security is identi fied the reaction is assured. The bears, however, are working in a narrow radius, and while that radius represents nearly all the market worthy of the name there are other securities which could effectually with stand all attacks If earnings and bright prospects are considered. The report of earnings made by the Pennsylvania system for last momh shows a handsome increase over the same period of last year and an excess of nearly |lW.tK)U over August. IstC. Other eastern roads are expected to furnish satisfactory reports for the balance of the year and should soon elicit some support from the local bull element. The western situation is not improved materially by later intelligence, and all additional evidence has a tendency to sup port the present attitude of the bears. All things cot sldered. stocks are likely to work around In a narrow and Irregular groove until the present short Interest Is liqui dated. Prior to the happening of this event lower prices than those recorded today are probable. A broader market would mean a higher one, but professionalism is too firmly li-trenched to be easily overthrown. Iturlington v as freely sold by prominent bear operators for a loss ot 1 1-2 per cent, and St. Paul, on slmlUr selling, lost 1 per cent. The latter stock has held remark ably well in the race of severe drives else where in the Granger group, but activity on t'ne short side has merely been delayed and not overlooked. Hock Island and Northwest each lost 1-2 per cent on moder ate transactions. Western I'nlon was de pressed 1 1-S per cent on room selling. Sugar was depressed 1 1-2 per cent on early trading to S* 1-2-* decline of twenty six points from the high ligures following the legislative triumph a few weeks ago. Inside interests show no signs of disap proval at the uninterrupted decline. It will be utilized next December as convincing proof of the lack of protection gHen the trust under the new schedule. Chicago Gas was freely sold by certain Inside interests for a loss of 2 1-2 per cent. Traders soon detected the source of the selling and contributed to the decline. General Electric lost 1 M per cent in sympathy with the industrial Inaction. Distillers was Improved fractionally for no special reason, as the mystery surround iuf, the company is as yet unexplained.

"While Prince Aiuma was at Annapoll# ? a funny Incident happened, and It aptly I illustrates .he readiness with which for eign youth assimilate American ideas, even when directly antagonistic to the prejudice* and traditions of their ow. natlx-e land. "When Aiuma reached the academy?thlt wa* twenty-two years ago?he was then ? lad of ilMUt sixteen. I nd was accompanied by a valet, this tieing th<- first and only In stance In which a naval cadet was al,owe< an attendant, and special permission haf? to be obtained from Wavhlngton. Mat> mulla had preceded him by two years and Katz hy one year, and both were hiichly esteemed by the officers as well as by their schoolmate*. "Hazing ts a fine art at the Saral Acad emy. and third-class m.-n are very attentive to newcomers after evening 'taps.' But by common consent the Japanese ztudents were looked on in the light of guests and were s|iared the Ignominy of dangling la baskets from the outside of windows, roost ing in trees, grinding imaginary hand organs, and other disagreeable tasks, ft >m which no American student was exempt. Hence, Matztnulla and Katz knew of thesa episodes only as they were told them by their less fortunate fellow-classmen. "Besides, th,^ small size and delicate ap pearance of the modest and bashful prince appeaW-d to the sympathetic side of the cadets, who. indeed, had a v*gi>e sort Of Impression that the sacredness of the mi kado's |>er?on?It was more revered In those days than now?extended to all his family, and that |??ssltily our home government would visit condign punishment upon any one who dared to Invade the chamber of Azuma without special invitation fmm that prince. ' Katz was a memtx i of the class which, according to the conditions of the school, wa* privileged to harass. |? rplei. tease and annoy the class of which his illustrious prince was a meml?er. Having been at the school an entire year he had learned much about the freedom o! America and the ab sence of caste. True, he had escaped bas ing. but he n?ver could appreciate the cour tesy. and would have been better pleased had he lieen serve-1 as the rest. He was * Jolly, rollicking fellow, who could enjoy ? Joke as keenly as any member of his clasa, ami he Joined in all the pleasure* of the school, those that were forbidden as well as the legitimate. "<?ne night scon after the arrival of the prince, his vt:let rushed frantically Into the quarters of the officer of the day. and. with horror depicted in every line of his homely face, declared that 'My l?rd Katz was tak ing the most unseemly li'.H-rtles with the person of his august master. Prince Azu ma. "Hastening toward Azuma's rooms, this Is what the officer heard as he drew near the door: " 'I'll have you ordered home, and then your head will be chopped off." " 'Oh. thunder!' Irreverently came from th? lips of Katz. "This Isn't Japan, and If you don't kick higher and keep up that whis tling I'll singe your hair for you.' "The officer saw Azuma executing high st^ps. with puckered lips, encouraged to this action by a lighted candle in the hand of lively Katz. The latter bore without complaint the punishment that Is meted out to delated 'hazers.' but he indignantly protested to his fellow students against what he termed th? 'rank Injustice of cast* distinction in a free government.' "Azuma's health became very poor, and he only remained at the a<adeniy for a f?? w months; but he sojourned In this country long enough to pick up sundry besetments. which I am afraid still cling to him l*n ilke Matzmulla and Katz. he loves th? pleasures of the court better than tfe glories of the sea." SKIKLY A MH.r. IK DITIH. The Deepest Mining Mind Is th? World Is Said to Br Is Mlrhlzas. From tbe Oiicsgo Reronl. I.ess than a month ago the deepest min ing shaft In the world reached the copper lode In the Tamarack mine. Shaft No. 3, which Is now a trifle over 4.'J?? feet In depth, was begun three years ago. and reached the vein on August *. at a depth of 4.1K5 feet. A trip down three-quarters of a mile Into the bowels of the earth Is a d.-cided novelty. Entering the cage, which Is an Iron elevator fitted with all modern safety appliances, and hoisted or lowered by an Inch and a half wire cable passing over a great drum In the engine house near the shaft, the signal U given to lower. A serrate ease ts always used for carrying men. and the rate of speej Is less than where rock Is holsud or timber lowered In the other compart ments. The trip (equires five minutes, and. as the cage sinks at a rate of n|>eed equal to that of the swiltest elevator in a modern sky-Bcra|>er. the dark walls of rock, on which a faint light is thrown by the candles an<l oil lamps of the party, seem to be swiftly shooting upward, while the cage la standing still. At last the bottom Is reached. A dosen miner*, covered with grime and dust, are busily at work. Power drills, fed by com pn ssed air coming almost a mile through iron pipe*, are tapping the i>*-k |N talantly. Men are shovellnu the ro"k blasted from the lode Into the cars, which are trundled Into the cages and ho1?ted to the surface. The candles throw weird shadows, and as the reflection comes to the mind of the mortal from earth's surface that he Is deep er down tinier the earth's crust than man has ever penetrated before. th? desire to ascend to fresh air and sunshine is apt to come uppermost. A few minutes show all that is to be seen, for No :t shaft baa Just reached the lode, and the extensive system of drifts, rross ? uts and winzes existing In other shafts of the mine lias l*s-n but btgun down hi-re. The wotk Is all planned for many years to come, and the force of compressed air and the muscle of man will transfer those plans ftom the pa|>er. where they were placed by the busy brain of the engineer.
