Liquid   Fuel
In W3 about 3,000,000 tons of
"astatkr' — as the heavy oil left after
distilling crude petroleum is called in
Russia —- was shipped from Baku to
the Caspian soaports and Astrakan, for
use under locomotive, steamship and
stationary boilers. This extensive use
of oil fuel in Russia is accounted for by
the character of the crude petroleum
of the couutry. The American oil
gives about IS per Cent of kerosene,
and the remainder is partly used for
other products: while the Russian
crude petroleum yields only about 85
per cent of kerosene and other light
oils, leaving a heavy residue of 65 per
cer.t. The heavy residue is chiefly
valuable as fuel, for which itis better
than the lighter and more inflammable
oils. A paper to the London Society
of Arts points out that other countries
—as Java and Peru—have deposits of
heavy oil that quite possibly may
prove of suoh extent as to be valuable
sources of fuel.
A Quaternary Graveyard.
In the interior of South Australia is
a series of great lakes, which are occupied by water only at long intervals.
Lake Eyre, for instance, is an immense
shallow clay pan, which ordinarily contains some holes of brackish water, but
which has occasionally become a vast
inland sea over 100 miles long and 50
miles wide. From this lake and other
parts of the country, the South Aus-
trailian Museum has now and then,
for many years, received teeth and
.fragments of bones of the Diprotodoti,
an extinct marsupial about as largo as
the hippotamus. In 1S92 anintelligeni
native reported the existence of a
great deposit of these bones, whieh has
since been investigated and now shows
that Lake Mulligan, more properly
known, as Lake Callabonna,is a vertible
necropolis uf gigantic extinct marsupials and birds. The position of these
honeg and the oharaoter of the ground
in which they are found ind-cate that
they cannot have been carried thither
by floods, and the conclusion is that
the animals became mired In the sticky
clay In an effort to obtain food or water. The hed of Lake Cailabonna is
about 50 miles long, 10 miles broad at
its upper end, and half as wide at the
point where the hones are found.
THE CHAUTAUQUA SEASON.
A  Long list  of  Distingynislied Speakers
and Other ITeatnres.
[Special Correspondence.]
Chautauqua, June 28.—The season at
Chautauqua this year promises to be
more than ordinarily interesting. It
opens June 30, and the formal closing
occurs Aug' 27. Chautauqua is a
charming resort and is appreciated by
all who sojourn there save the rapid
paced and dissolute, for whom there are
no accommodations. At the same time
the village ordinances are liberal, and
no legitimate recreation is prohibited.
Boating, baseball, tennis, bathing, etc.,
are some of the- daily diversions, and
one can be as lazy as one wishes.
But the spirit of this summer colony is
distinctively active, and the literary
features arouse considerable enthusiasm. A unique mental sympathy binds
the community together. As for the
system of education practiced, it exactly meets the requirements for which
it was established, and its wonderful
growth best indicates how acceptable it
is to people who axe desirous of extending
their culture.
Outside of the regular courses of instruction the greatest interest perhaps
attaches to the lectures. For this season
an especially strong list of speakers has
been secured. They include Professor
Herbert B. Adams of Johns Hopkins ■university, a specialist in history and a promoter of popular education; Professor
George B. Adams of Yale university, an
able historical scholar; Mr. Frank Beard
of Chicago, who delights audiences with
his rapidly sketched caricatures and Ms
droll comments; Mrs, C. E. Bishop of
Washington, the "Americanizer" of Del-
sarte's system of physical development;
Dr. J. M. Buckley, editor of The Christian Advocate; Mr. Anthony Comstock
of Sew York and Professor John R.
Commons of the University of Indiana,
a student of economics and sociology,
author of "The Distribution of Wealth."
Then there are to be heard Dr. Richard
T. Ely, professor of economics and social
science in the University of Michigan, an
economist of the historical school; Mrs.
Emma P. Ewing of Rochester, a recognized authority on domestic economy in
general and cookery in particular; Dr.
Edward Everett Hale of Boston, a con-
CHAUTAUQUA LAKE.
spicuous figure in Sew England and national life; Professor Charles R. Henderson of the University of Chicago, an authority in criminology and problems of
charity and reform; Miss K. E. Hogan
of New York, of the New York bar, a
clear and interesting lecturer on law as it
relates to women; Professor Herman E.
yon Hoist, the eminent historian, and
General O. O. Howard of the United
States army.
Other prominent speakers on the roster are Mr, John De Witt Miller of Philadelphia, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Mr.
Leon H. Vincent of Philadelphia and
Hon. Carroll D. Wright, United States
commissioner of labor.
Among the readers are Mrs. Sarah Co-
well Lemoyne of New York, Mr. Leland
Powers of Boston, Mr. George Riddle of
Cambridge, Mass., Mrs. Genevieve Stebbins of New York and Mr. F. HopMnson
Smith of New York, the well known art-
is b author. In addition there occurs a
variety of entertainments, such as concerts, piano recitals, debates and public
meetings.
Last year was organized the so called
Boys' club, particularly designed for
lads between the ages of 8 and 16. This
feature at Chautauqua, I believe, is to
he developed, the authorities being convinced that it is a good one. They recognize the value of giving a boy the
right start in life and surrounding him
with influences that will be a help to
him all through his boyhood and manhood. The system adopted is certainly
a creditable step forward in the moral
and physical education of youth. Gymnastics are made compulsory, bnt the
exercises axs safe, suitable and progressive. Boys will be taught how to widen
ind deepen their chests, draw their
shoulders back and to stand erect.
Practical, short and interesting talks
will be given each day on such subjects
as "How to Become Strong," "The
Strong Men of the World." "The Care
of the Body," "Morals Eor Boys,"
"'What MakesaBoy Successful," "Anatomy and Physiology For Boys," "What
to Do In Case of an Accident," "Good
and Bad Habits," "How to Train For
Running and Jumping."
The foregoing is but a brief outline of
the features of Chautauqua for the coming season. Many other good things
are in store for "those who will be there
to eujoy and profit by them.

The Sc-ir Sultan Slaking a Same.
Intrigues with "the new sultan are
suspected on all sides. The hoy ruler,
has begun vigorously and has indeed
shown a degree of zeal worthy of his
romantic elder brother, who is known as'
the one eyed decapitator. Three execu-;
tions were placed to his credit in one
day. The nest daj-'s score is put vaguely
at "several." The youngster may yet
make a name for himself»
A LITERARY PLOT.
Walter Besant Uncovers an. American Conspiracy and Applauds It.
A secret plot—a conspiracy—has been
going on unsuspected for a long time.
The conspirators are a small band of
Americans. It has been revealed to The
Times by an Englishman, one Edmund
Gosse, perhaps himself a coconspirator
—for all I know of Mm I believe him
quite capable of joining the conspiracy.
It appears that the arch conspirator,
Mr. F. Holland Dayof Norwood, Mass.,
concerted with the late Mr. Lowell a
design secretly to prepare a monument
to Keats snd to present it to tMs country, partly by way of honor to the poet
and partly as a gentle reminder to ourselves' of our culpable neglect. TMs de-'
sign was communicated to a small number of American artists and literary
'men and women, the result of 'which is
a marble bust wbich Mr. Day has now
brought over to this country. It will bo
put up in Hampstead church as soon as
the bracket for it is ready.
It is curious that the secret should
have been kept so well and so long. The
gift is generous and conceived in the
best spirit possible—that of claiming
joint possession of every great and good
thing written in the common tongue.
What Keats gave us he gave to all the
English speaking world. What Longfellow gave his countrymen he also gave
to us. We have given a Lowell monument and a Longfellow monument to
Westminster abbey. Let us accept this
American gift in the spirit with which
it is offered. The centenary of Keats'
birth is Oct. 29, 1895. We shall, I hope,
anticipate that date when we assemble
to do him honor.—Walter Besant* in
London Queen.
morphine Habit In Xondon.
The rumor that the law courts are
about to be troubled with a painful case
involving the honor of a well known
and respected family tlrreatens to revive the controversy as to the prevalence
of the morphine habit in the upper and
middle classes, says a London correspondent. The doctors say the vice is
quite as prevalent as it was five years;
ago, and this is amply confirmed by the
advertisement columns of the daily
newspapers. Every issue of that eminently fashionable organ, The Morning Post,
for instance, contains numerous notices
of institutions in which the victims of
morphine and other drugs are treated
and of nurses skilled in the management
of such patients. Thc saddest feature
is that such advertisements are rarely
applicable to men.
In Darkest Kussia.
News by mail from St. Petersburg'
and other parts of Russia show that the
recent wholesale arrests were caused by
the growth of the doctrines of liberalism, not nihilism. The majority of the
victims are persons of the higher, well
educated classes, who have been demanding by means of a manifesto greater freedom of the press, representative
institutions and such rights as are enjoyed by the other nations of Europe.
The bestowal of dictatorial powers upon General Tcherevin is regarded as
proof that tho, outburst of dissatisfaction
is more widespread than the authorities
are willing to acknowledge.
