The Cleveland, Ohio, grand jury adjourned without indicting any Standard Oil men. Prosecutions of the company is to be resumed in other cities. All express companies operating on the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads have consolidated and hereafter will be known as the Northern Express company. The deal also includes the Adams Express company on the Burlington. A strike of Portland street car men seems imminent. Siam has started a movement for the abolishment of gambling. Plans are being prepared for a new lightship off the Columbia bar. Major Dreyfus has been assigned to command of the crack French regiment. Alfred Beit, who controlled the gold and diamond output of Africa, is dead. A peace conference between Central American republics may be held on a United States warship. Secretary Metcalf says congress did not intend to authorize a lightship for Swifture bank, off Cape Flattery, and he does not feel authorized to spend the $150,000 appropriated by mistake. It is said the War department is planning an immense supply depot and barracks for marines at the mouth of the Columbia. Young's bay is to be dredged until anchorage for the entire Pacific and Asiatic squadrons is secured. The mouth of the Columbia is 700 miles near Japan than San Francisco and is also better for rail facilities than Bremerton. Cassie Chadwick is ill in her prison home at Columbus, Ohio. Dreyfus is the hero of France since he has been proven innocent. Peasants are causing a reign of terror throughout the Russian empire.

Two men attempted to rob a Denver bank in daylight, but were foiled and both were caught. --- Assistant Secretary Ryan Taken Initiative and Buys Sunnyside Canal. Washington, July 20.—Acting Secretary of the Interior Ryan today approved the purchase of the Sunnyside irrigation canal in Eastern Washington, and authorized the payment of $250,000 for the same to the Washington Irrigation company. The approval of this purchase removes the last obstacle in the way of the construction by the government of the Teton and Sunnyside irrigation projects. Had this sale not been concluded today, the Washington Irrigation company would have withdrawn its offer and the government would have been obliged to abandon both its projects, or else enter upon prolonged litigation. Notwithstanding the fact that Secretary Hitchcock approved the Tieton and Sunnyside projects more than six months ago and authorized the purchase of the Sunnyside canal at the above price, the owners of the canal have been unable to collect one cent from the government, because the secretary of the Interior has not approved the formal purchase, some of the government lawyers having found trivial objections which they believed should be corrected before the government paid for the canal. Mr. Hitchcock, on his counselors' advice, refused to pay over the money. BIGGEST OF ALL DRYDOCKS. Will Be Built of Concrete at Bremerton Navy Yard. Washington, July 20.—Plans for the largest and best drydock in the world are being prepared in the bureau of Yards and Docks at the Navy department, to cost $1,250,000 and to be constructed at the Bremerton navy yard, Puget sound, Washington. This amount is the largest ever appropriated for a dock, and the new dock will be able to take in the largest battleship, either in course of construction or in contemplation. The location has already been selected, and borings are being made to learn the depth of foundation. It is to be a concrete dock of the largest pattern and materials will be purchased on the Pacific coast if practicable. The dock is to be so constructed that it can be lengthened if vessels of greater length should be built in the future. It will be 37 feet in depth over sill, which will provide for the docking of any vessel that can be built, unless some now unknown system of building is developed. The greater depth of the new dock is also designed to meet cases where a vessel has been injured and draws much more than the ordinary depth on account of the injury. Japan Makes Great Stride Forward on Road to Socialism. Washington, July 19.—According to advice received by the bureau of manufactures, the Japanese government has undertaken one of the greatest experiments in the world's history, which indicates a clear purpose to protect, supervise, develop and nationalize all Japanese industries. It stated that the provision for the nationalization of railways was but a single step in the great plan of industrial naturalization toward which the country is fast approaching. The movement for Manchurian nationalization has received careful attention, and it is now proposed that a company shall be formed by the government and private capitalists jointly for the purpose of operating the railroads, forests and mines in Manchuria. If successful along the lines Japan is now working, it is said that the individuals and corporations of America that are striving for the trade of the Orient will discover that they are not competing for this trade against individuals and corporations of Japan, but that they are in commercial conflict with the Japanese nation itself. Washington, July 20.—The War department was advised today of the arrest in Chicago of Truman K. Hunt, who brought to this country a band of 50 odd Igorotres from the Philippines. Acting under instructions from the War department, Hunt has been formally charged with holding from the dog eaters for 15 months salaries which he agreed to pay, and also with embezzling $1,000, money they had made by selling souvenirs from their far-away home. Hunt was at one time governor of the Igorote district. San Francisco, July 20. It was estimated that within three weeks of the fire on April 18, fully 335,000 people left San Francisco. According to computations made today, just three months after the fire, there are now in San Francisco 365,000 people, with 50,000 more waiting in nearby cities for opportunity to return as soon as suitable accommodations can be had. New Age RED TAPE TATTERED. NATION ENTERS BUSINESS. Embezzles Igorrotes' Cash. Refugess Are Returning. SOCORRO IS RUINED Successive Light Shocks Shake Down Earthen Walls. PEOPLE ARE FLEEING IN PANIC Extinct Volcano Near the Town Is Suspected of Reviving and Causing Shocks. El Paso, Tex., July 19.—Earthquake shocks numbering between 50 and 60 have practically made a ruin of the town of Socorro, 160 miles north of this place. The courthouse is a mass of ruins, and practically all the houses in town are damaged. According to reports received, there is no loss of life. The damage has been wrought by a continuation of slight quakes, which have caused the walls of structures already cracked to tumble to the earth. The first shocks were felt on Sunday, but the real damage has been confined to the last two days. E. M. Fink, a cattle buyer who came from Socorro today, declares he was sitting at dinner at the Winckler hotel on Monday, when the entire side wall of the dining room fell in, and the guests and all the waiters scattered in every direction. The people are in a panic and all who can do so are leaving town. There is a crater of what is thought to be an extinct volcano not more than eight miles from Socorro, and the inhabitants think that perhaps the volcano has something to do with the remarkable series of shocks. The temperature of the water in Hot Springs at Socorro has increased over ten degrees and it is thought that this furnishes new evidence of internal upheaval of a local nature, and that the earth is disturbed at great depths in the immediate vicinity of the town. The National railroad is sending box cars into the town to take the people away so great is their desire to leave the town. Huge boulders have been jarred down on the track from the mountain sides, and trains have been delayed thereby. The bridge abutments have been affected to such an extent that orders have been issued to Santa Fe trainmen to proceed with great caution over bridges within a radius of 30 miles of Socorro. UTAH COAL LANDS STOLEN. Federal Agents Procuring Evidence for Prospective Suits. Salt Lake City, July 19.—Rumors to the effect that agents of the Federal governmet are busy in Utah preparing to institute suits of a sensational nature for the recovery of vast areas of public domain, current here for several months, were revived today, with an additional statement that within ten days suits would be brought in the Federal court here to recover to the government more than 30,000 acres of coal lands, alleged to have been acquired by coal companies through fraudulent means, part as agricultural or grazing lands through selection by the Utah state land board, being later transferred to the coal companies. Other coal lands are said to have been filed on as such by dummies who later transferred them to the corporations. More than 100 entries of this character are said to have been run down. While these reports cannot be absolutely verified, . Federal official in this city today admitted that suits are in preparation, making the additional statement that the Federal officials intrusted with the matter had received positive instructions from Washington not to talk, but to prepare for action. It is stated also that a Federal grand jury may be called to sift the evidence that has been gathered in preparation for the prosecution of the civil cases. Arkansas After Trust Little Rock, Ark., July 19. — Suit was entered today against the five cottonseed oil mills of this city by Attorney General Rogers and Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton, charging them with being members of a combine in violation of the anti-trust law, and alleging restriction of trade. The suits ask judgment in the sum of $5,000 per day, aggregating $130,000 against each company, and ask also the revocation of their charters in this state. It is ununderstood suits will be entered against the remaining 3 mills. Stromboli Opens New Crater Rome, July 19:—An alarming eruption is reported at Stromboli, the volcanic isle in the Lipari islands off the north coast of Scilly. A new crater has opened, which is belching out huge quantities of fiery matter, and all vegetation in the vicinity is being destroyed. NO. 13. TO KILL LIBERTY. Czar Will Use Army to Enforce His Will in Russia. St. Petersburg, July 18. — If reports in circulation in official circles this morning are grounded on fact, the supreme crisis in the affairs of the Russian nation is impending, and within a fortnight at most events must transpire that will result either in the perpetration of absolutism in Russia or the map of Europe will be changed. According to reports, the czar, after weeks of swinging from one extreme to the other, decides that he cannot grant the reforms demanded by the people, and has decided that the arbitrament of physical force shall be appealed to. He has, through Generals Trepoff, Kaulbars and other leaders of the official military class, canvassed the officers of the army, and has decided that they can be depended on, if it should come to a clash with the people, and so he has decided that from now on the wishes of the czar and his wishes alone shall be considered. This means, should the rumors be true, that the douma will soon be dissolved and that the new cabinet will represent more than ever the wishes of the governing classes and disregard the demands of the people already made through the douma. None of the members of the cabinet who could be reached last night would discuss the matter. However, the delay in announcing that the various demands of the douma are even being considered, the concentration of tried troops at all centers where advocates of a constitutional form of government are strongest, and the generally defiant attitude of the bureaucracy, all tend to lend credence to the report. Disturbances in all interior Russia continue, and riot, murder and rapine are the rule. In many camps pitched battles between soldiers and malcontents are reported, but all details are completely censored and are not permitted to become public. CLIMAX OF ADMINISTRATION. Roosevelt Will Invoke Conspiracy Law and Dissolve Standard Oil. Washington, July 18.—Dissolution of the great Standard Oil trust may be the result of the prosecutions soon to be begun against that corporation by the government. Assistant Attorney General Purdy, who has direct charge of the preparation of the prospective cases, returned to Washington today from St. Paul, where for two weeks he has been in consultation with Special Counsel Kellogg, of the latter city, and District Attorney Morrison, of Chicago, and, while he refuses to discuss details as to the plans under way, there is good authority for the statement that the administration is aiming at a more vital object than fines or even imprisonment for the trust offenders. The cases against Standard Oil will be made under the conspiracy act. It is of recent memory that conspiracy in restraint of trade in violation of the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law resulted in the dissolution of the Northern Securities company. More recently the government won another sweeping victory in the courts and dissolved the Western paper trust. The same sort of success met the movement against the elevator trust in California. The breaking up of the monster Standard Oil combination may come as the culminating grand climax of the Roosevelt administration, and in the light of today's developments persons in Washington have recalled to them with striking force these words spoken by President Roosevelt shortly before the adjournment of congress: "The prosecution of the Standard Oil company is the most important thing in this administration." Bartlett Was Short $33,000 Washington, July 18.—It was stated at the Treasury department today that an investigation recently concluded of the affairs of the late Major George A. Bartlett, disbursing officer of the Treasury department, shows a shortage approximating $33,000. About $14,000 of this amount, however, is said to have been innocently paid out on fraudulent vouchers presented by James Boyd, a clerk in the Marine Hospital service, who in September last was arrested and is now in jail pending his trial for misappropriating government funds. Colombia Wants Commercial Treaty. New York, July 18.—The following cable dispatch was received in this city yesterday from Bogota, Colombia: "Colombian National Commercial congress, assembled in Bogota, representing all parts of the republic, has unanimously adopted resolutions endorsing favorably the negotiations begun by President Reyes and Minister Barrett for new treaties with the United States and Panama. This action is most important, assuring the support of the business interests." Armistice Stops Fighting. San Salvador, July 18.—The belligerents today agreed upon an armistice. It is claimed that the Guatemalans during the recent fighting used explosive bullets, notwithstanding the fact that Guatemala signed the Geneva convention. When they have appendicitis lots of people feel all cut up over it. Fools sometimes rush in and win while wise men are investigating. When John Paul Jones gets on a postage stamp even an Englishman can lick him. Simple method of committing suicide in St. Petersburg is to become a public official. The Isle of Pines is now said to be pining for trouble and is again trying to annex the United States. The new San Francisco is to be laid out on artistic lines. Let us hope it may never be laid out by anything else. It is unnecessary to state that the San Francisco man who offers to give 500 women complete outfits is a bachelor. The American dime novel is to be shut out from Germany. It has been put on a parity with diseased pork, as a disseminator of infection. Mr. Rockefeller is putting up $1,000,000 for reformatories for boys, and deep down in his heart he may be regretting that Mr. Garfield is grown up. The Czar will now have a better opinion of Alfonso as a ruler. As Nicholas probably looks at it, only the good and great are compelled to dodge bombs. Young Rockefeller proposes to run the rubber business, but whether to the extent of confiscating the domesticated and esteemed rubber plant does not yet appear. According to Missionary Nassau's testimony the march of civilization in King Leopold's Congo colony is with some difficulty distinguished from barbarism running amuck. The contention that the world is growing better will carry more weight when a speaker falls to get a big audience on the strength of an announcement that he proposes to abuse some one. Somebody who has been looking into the matter finds that long ago one of King Edward's ancestors was a brick-layer. We have always thought he must have had a good, sturdy, honest ancestor back somewhere. A new ocean greyhound 800 feet long has just been launched. The management should have it provided with a "seeing the ship" automobile, so that passengers who desire to do so may go from one end to the other without being compelled to over-exert themselves. A night watchman, who during the day worked regularly at a trade, is said to have gone crazy. Doubtless the man is insane, but more likely the lunacy is more a cause than an effect. The theory of existing on next to no sleep is one of the sort that should be kept sedulously out of practice. The first number of the Columbian Magazine was issued in Philadelphia in 1788. In it the editor, having a vision of the news of the country in 1850, prophesied the following news dispatch: "Boston, April 30—At length the canal across the 1stmus of Darlen is completed. It is about sixty miles long and half a mile broad. First-rate vessels of war can with ease sail through. The cost has been about five hundred thousand dollars. Two vessels sailed through on the twentieth of January last, bound for Canton, in China." Will any one dare to prophesy that way to-day of 1950? There is essentially no difference between the Pennsylvania railroad chief clerk who gathered in thousands of dollars from coal companies as a tip or price for steering the railroad company's orders in their direction and the coachman who pockets an occasional dollar in the placing of orders for oats or the steward who profits in buying meats and other table requirements. And no better than this chief clerk are those higher Pennsylvania officials who accepted gifts of stock in various companies and then favored them in the distribution of cars. They are all of the purchasable class, which is hardly more contemptible in the dollar-tip grade than the $1,000-tip grade. When La Provence, a new French steamship, was about half-way across the ocean on its malden trip, the wireless telegraph operator at Poldhu, Cornwall, was sending to it the latest news of the San Francisco earthquake. The message was interrupted by news about the explosion of gasoline in the sewers of New York. The operator on board ship was surprised when he learned that the New York news came from the wireless station on Cape Cod. This is interesting in two ways. It shows the state of perfection of wireless telegraphy, and also the kind of news which is sent by it to the ships at sea. One would think that passengers on the great deep would prefer news about anything else than disasters on land. The new world language, Esperanto, seems to have already won more advocates than the older Volapuk. No manufactured language, however, seems to have much chance in competition with English, which long ago displaced French as the most useful and widely spoken language and which is gaining faster than ever in all parts of the world. Quite recently the German government has ordered that all railway officials and employees must learn to speak English. In Antwerp also the authorities are urging all classes to study English and are providing special facilities in the public schools; the city has become "almost an English-speaking port." In Japan all school children are now obliged to learn our language. A few years hence tourists from this country will be able to get along there as easily as on a trip at home. With Great Britain, India, Australia, Canada, the United States and large sections of Africa using English, what hope is there for any other language? One of the speakers at a convention recently held in Chicago said regretfully that "we are drifting into an age of clamor." He is disturbed by the noise made by people shouting for the abatement of real or fancied evils. He wishes they would lower their voices and discuss with gentlymanly composure the reforms they advocate. The difficulty is that in an age of business and bustle he who talks in a "still, small voice" cannot be heard and might as well keep silent. A man must clamor and shriek in order to be heard and command attention. Most reforms have had to be clamored for. They could not have been obtained otherwise in reasonable time. If they had been asked for mildly and conservatively the persons whose purses would be touched would have maintained a discreet silence and the general public would not have been stirred to action. There would have been no factory or child labor legislation if it had not been clamored for. The packers are improving conditions in their houses. They object to the clamor that has been raised, and say that if they had been told quietly of evils that ought to be remedied they would have attended to the matter. Perhaps they might have done so, but generally the persons who gently suggest to the men in charge of a workshop or factory that they should make expensive improvements are told to mind their own business. There are some desirable reforms which are unattainable merely because several men with strong lungs are not shouting for them and giving highly colored accounts of dreadful conditions which would disappear if the reforms were introduced. Attention was called twenty years ago to many of the life insurance abuses which have recently been exposed. The statements were not made vociferously enough to catch the public ear, and the house cleaning in the companies was left for the "age of clamor." It is true that cranks, visionaries, pseudo reformers, and mischief makers are clamoring for unwise or vicious legislation as loudly as genuine reformers are asking for needed legislation. They attack imaginary evils as strenuously as the others do real evils. But the false reformers are no more noisy in this age than they have been in preceding ages. The public is not in the habit of taking for gospel all that it hears from irresponsible individuals. It usually remains unmoved by their clamor and heeds only that of persons whom it looks on as measurably responsible. Society cannot get along without clamor. It is the great agent for the removal of abuses. Those who complain the most of its strident, discordant voice are the ones who are directly or indirectly interested in the continuance of the bad conditions against which clamor is raised. Thus railroad men think there has been an unnecessary clamor against railroad management. Deep seated evils cannot be cured by whispering against them. Old Stone Well Moved. The residents of Bainbridge are much excited over a remarkable landslide which has taken place on the south side of that village during the last few days, for sections of the hill continue to slide away at intervals. Te slide is on what is known as Higgins hit, where a stone quarry has been operated for many years. The hill was over forty feet high, and a great deal of valuable rock had been removed from it during the last few years, but the greater part of the broken stone and earth has been dumped on the hillside. The recent wet weather caused this to loosen and a portion of the hill commenced to slide on Thursday night and has been going down ever since. A mud roadway, which was used by teams to bring down the stone, was entirely obliterated, but the remarkable part of the slide is that an old stone well which was on the top of the hill slid down the embankment for a distance of twenty-two feet and was not destroyed. The well, which is stxteen feet deep, has always had from twelve to fifteen feet of water in it and there is an old windlass on the top. As has been stated, that well slid down the side of the hill, windlass, stone and water, and it did not even cause turbldness of the water. The windlass, which is nearly worn out, appears as good to-day as it was before the well moved.—Chilllcoothe News-Advertiser. Short-Sufted.

HEY who seek the lost always find His love. Little lusts give the devil his best hand-holds. The world's work has no greater foe than the whiner. The religion that is not giving is usually groan- The religion that is not giving is usually groaning. Opportunities are only holes knocked in the walls of difficulty. Heaven can always become a closer environment than earth. All culture must be measured by its contribution to the soul. Regeneration is spiritual heredity overcoming that of fiefst. True parenthood is a perfect sermon on the Father in Heaven. You cannot live right when you are feeding your mind on folly. Almost all things we get for nothing cost more than they are worth. With many the wisest thing to do is to say nothing and stick to it. Keep your heart fallow and you can be sure of fat crops from God's seed. When the church is a refrigerator car it is travelling under false pretenses. A man needs to pray for himself when the offering spoils the sermon. It's the man who is always crowing who is most likely-to have to eat crow. There is no promise that the Holy Ghost shall come to the ghostly church. They who have the joy of finding the lost never desire the pleasures of the lost. Many are willing that God should lead them if they may show Him the way. A man does not secure the wedding garment by his fidelity to the mode here. A good deal of our faith in revivalists is to cover our failure to do their work. The men who proclaim the reign of law in nature often forget it in their souls. Many shepherds never go after the one until they have sheared the ninety and nine. Fate of a Diver Whose Helmet Strangely Came Unfastened. An accident which is described as without precedent in the history of diving operations has been the subject of magisterial inquiry at Simonstown. Two divers, Kraming and Macpail, were at work at some levels on the new jockyard works at Simonstown. They were working at a depth of about fifty feet, and, though they did not go down together, they met under water, and were, it appeared from the evidence, discussing by signs the position in regard to the levels on which they were working. According to the statement of the survivor, Macphail, he saw his companion's helmet suddenly fly off. In this desperate position the drowning man clung to Macphail, who gave the signal to the boat overhead to haul in, and the two men were drawn up to within ten feet of the surface. At this point the hauling ceased, the men in the boat being unable to raise the heavy weight further, and Macphail was compelled to loose his hold of his drowning comrade, who sank to the bottom. The other man reached the boat, and immediately went down again, but Kraming was lying face downward on the bottom, and was dead when they finally got him to the surface. No explanation was forthcoming of how it was possible for the man's helmet to come unfastened. It was stated to have been adjusted properly when he entered the water, and the two divers were said to have been on perfectly good terms, no question as to the possibility of foul play being raised. The verdict was simply that the man was drowned, but the magistrate confessed that the manner in which the helmet became unfastened remained a mystery.—Cape Town Correspondence London Chronicle. Prehistoric Incubators. The use of incubators in the hatching of eggs is not a new process. On the contrary, it dates back to the ancient Egyptians who often hatched eggs of various fowls in clay ovens heated to the proper temperature. With the dying out of the Egyptians, the science of incubation, like so many of their others art, went with them, and it was thought that it was one of the lost arts until Reamur regained it in the last century. Stereotyping. The first attempt at stereotyping in America was made in 1775 by Benjamin Mecom, a printer at Philadelphia. Previous to this time the Dutch had stereotyped a prayer book in 1771. The first printing press in America was established in 1639 at Cambridge Mass. Civilization Shortens Equine Life. The life of the horse is said to have been reduced by civilization. At the age of 26 the domestic animal is as old as if it had lived thirty years in a free state. There isn't much fun in making love to a girl if she knows you really mean it.

What Bessie Found. "Oh, I wish I were a grown up!" exclaimed Bessie, coming in from school and dropping down before her mother in a dejected mood. "You are doing a little toward that every day," said her mother. "But why?" "Well, school is so hard. Now what do you suppose we have to do?" "What?" "Notice something. Some bug or flower, and come to school and tell all about it." "That is not hard," said mother, smiling. "Why not take some cookies down by the brook, and perhaps there you will see something interesting. Watch the toads and frogs." "Billy Jackson is going to choose frogs, but I might choose grasshoppers." Cheered by the cookies, Bessie strolled away, and after playing about the brook a while, she thought she would return to the plaza. Her mother was entertaining a caller; she kept close to the side of the house. She heard her mother saying that she wanted her to see Bessie, she had grown so tall. Not wishing to be found, and prove this statement, Bessie crawled farther under the vine, and found that she could get entirely under the plaza, where there was a cozy place—almost like a playhouse. She sat here some time, listening to the voices overhead. It was a nice place to play "enchan- ted palace"—her favorite make-believe. The next thing she knew she was feeling chilly, and it was dark. She tried to think whether she were in bed, when a queer little spark flashed beside her. It shone brightly enough to tell her that she was still under the plazaza, but she was not wide enough awake to realize that it was night. She wondered if mother's caller were gone. Again the little flame passed her face, and she began to grow timid. Now it was on her hand, and now upon her dress. Just as she was about to call for her mother a light flashed in her eyes, and she saw her father coming with a lantern. Several men were with him, and her mother came behind, bringing her jacket. "She must have gone to the hill and lost her way," she heard some one say. "Papa, here I am!" she cried, for she knew in a flash they were hunting for her. Some one parted the vines, and she came crawling out. Mother rushed up and took her in her arms. "We thought you had gone to grandma's," she said, "and father was just going after you," and then there was general questioning and surprise from every one. Mother took Bessie in and gave her some bread and milk, but when she was eating she she suddenly stopped. "Mother, where is the little candle," she said. "the one under the piazza?" No one could understand her for some time. Then papa went out, and after a while returned with a little firefly held in his hand; and without crushing it at all, he showed Bessle how it glowed like a little lamp, and told her all about the habits of the lightning-bug. She listened until she felt she could tell her teacher all about it. "I didn't know there were any bugs that carry lamps round with them!" she exclaimed. "Every bug and every flower is made in a wonderful way," said her father. "I am sorry I lost myself," she said, sleepily, as she went up to bed, "but it was nice to find something to notice for the nature class."—Inez L. Strong, in Youths' Companion. A Frozen Bubble. Did you ever hear of a frozen soap bubble? A boy out in Colorado was blowing bubbles last winter, when it occurred to him to try the effect of the cold outside air on one. His father, who tells the story, says the thermometer registered about 14 degrees below zero at the time, and when the bubble was released in the usual way it fell to the snow perfectly frozen as a hollow sphere of ice. It was subsequently found that when the temperature rose to zero the bubbles would not freeze, but whether this was due to the change of temperature or the presence of more moisture in the air could not be determined. The father of the boy is anxious to know whether it be possible to freeze a bubble in a more easterly latitude, where the air is not so dry as it is in Colorado. How They Named the Baby. They talked of Medora, Aurora and Flora, Of Mabel and Marcia and Mildred and May; Debated the question of Helen, Honora, Clarissa, Camilla, and Phyllis and Fay. They thought of Marcelia, Estella and Bella, Considered Cevilla, Jeannette and Pauline; Alicia, Adela, Annetta, Arabelle. And Ethel and Eunice, Hortense and Irene. One liked Theodora; another Lenora; Some argued for Edith and some for Elaine. For Madeleine, Adeline, Lilly and Lora; And then, after all, they decided on Jane. Marvel of Modern Engineering. Out at Butte, Mont., where the great stamping mills and ore-concentrating works have turned the mountain city into a titanic inferno of tall chimneys belching black and sulphurous fumes stands one tremendous tower, the toq of which is 350 feet above the ground When its erection was planned the first idea was to build it of brick. That would have required a thickness of 12 or 16 feet of masonry at its base. But a construction engineer from Chicago was called into consultation. He proposed that the huge chimney be built of concrete and, with some misgivings the plan was adopted. He prepared a foundation six feet deep, 12x12, of concrete, with a number of steel re-enforcing rods. Beginning at the ground level, he carried two thin concrete shells upward for 100 feet. The outer one is only nine inches in thickness, while, separated by four inches of space from this, is an inner snail five inches thick. At a height of 100 feet these two unite into a single 7-inch shell of concrete, which extends skyward until the vast height of 350 feet is reached. This chimney, many feet higher than our modern city skyscrapers, is therefore composed of but 14 inches of concrete at the base and half that amount for the upper 250 feet. It is not of plain concrete, but is re-enforced both horizontally and vertically with a number of small steel rods, which were held in place until the concrete had been deposited around them, making a re-enforced concrete body superior in every way to both steel and brick masonry. There are in the United States scores of these wonderful chimneys.—Mechanical World. Crime in Great Britain. The principal conclusions as to the increase and decrease of crimes and offenses to be drawn from the statistics for 1904 are shortly stated thus: 1. Crimes against the person have diminished. 2. Crimes of the classes chiefly committed by the habitual criminals have ceased to increase at the same rapid rate as in previous years. 3. Minor offenses of dishonesty have increased. 4. Serious frauds and breaches of trust have increased. 5. Drunkenness is stationary. 6. Offenses of the vagrancy class are growing rapidly.—London Daily Graphic. Happiness Caused Insanity. Judge von der Meden, of Hamburg, who recently disappeared while on his honeymoon at Hanover, and was found wandering in the streets of Zurich, has now been declared insane. Among papers found on him was a letter from his wife. On the envelope he had written, "I did not know a man could be so happy. I am so very happy that I think I shall go mad." The Rest Is Silence. "I don't think, daughter, that Mr. Sportley is a proper man for you to associate with." "Yes, but mamma, he owns a motor car."—Boston Transcript. THE SEATTLE TRANSFER CO.

THE) NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OFS THE NEW AcE, PO A MODERN KING. | MINING FRAUDS IN BRAZI Alfonse of Spain Evidently Intends to Earn That Title. With youth In his favor and his tm terest in all forms of progress, Al- fonso of Spain may yet earn the title of “most modern of kings.” It will be remembered that when Edward VIL ame to the British throne there was hope in many quarters that he would fabolish much of the antiquated cere- mony that has clung to the functions of royalty. But in this there has been disappointment. Edward, though an experienced and broad-minded prince, was past middle age at the time of his accession, and his democratic ten- dencies have not been powerful enough to bring about the much-needed reform. If Alfonso is determined to be a mod- ern king, it may be his privilege to [simplify the complication of court life, and do much effective work for his peo- vle, says a writer In the Cosmopolt- tan. ‘Those famillar with present condl- tions in European states will realize that the role of a constitutional king In Spain is dificult and ungrateful to play. The country has not yet recov- ered from a bad despotism, and in po- tical Ife there 1s much tobe purified. The young ruler has so far attempted bo great part in the game of world politics, but be has had several oppor- tunities of dlsplaying his tact and strength of will at home. The down- fall of the unpopular Maura ministry was brought about through his person- al intervention. Senor Maura and his associates were backed bya Cortes that was very reactionary and did not fair- ly represent the people. The latter be- gan to fear that thelr ruler would come under the Influence of the un- popular and unrepresentative goyern- ment. Now, a King of Spain has no politics and must give no expression of personal leaning. But Alfonso be ‘gan to make frequent visnts to the Uni- versity of Madrid, where the professors were avowedly republicans, and this course of conduct gave great assur ance to his people, Finally there arose the necessity for the appointment of the chief or staff, The ministerial candi date was distasteful to the King be cause another better deserved the post Alfonso absolutely refused to sign the decree and the ministers were compell ed to hand tn thelr resignations. This act was much criticised by the yolitl clans of Europe, but It brought vast ‘comfort to the hearts of the Spaniards ‘They knew that at last they had 4 modern King. MEN OF FEW WORDS. In view of the fun which the German comle papers are always making about the brevity of speech of the army oft ‘cers in addressing the rank and file, it may be well to explain, says a writer in the New York Tribune, that this fashion dates from the days of that most taclturn and silent of Prussian rulers, Frederick William IIL, great- grandfather of the present Kaiser. Hix utterances were of the briefest sort. On one occasion, while staying at the Austrian baths at Teplitz In 1820, he was informed by one of his generals in attendance that there was sojourning at Teplitz a Hungarian magnate equal- ly celebrated for his taciturnity. ‘The King expressed the desire to see him by means of the brief command, “Bring im!" ‘An Interview was arranged without the Hungarian belng informed of the identity of the elderly German ofticer whom he was about to meet. ‘The king began the conversation with the monosyllabic Inquiry, “Baths?” to which the other replied, equally brief- ly, “Drink,” meaning, of course, that ho took the waters internally. “Militaire?” continued the king, wish- ing to know if the Magyar was an offi cer in the army. To this question the other responded, shaking his head, “Magnate,” that belng the title given to the members of the Chamber of Peers at Budapest. “Ah.” said the king. “General?” inquired the magnate. “King,” said Frederick William IIL, by way of indicating bis rank. ‘The Hungarian nobleman doffed his bonnet, and with the word “Compll- ments,” bowed and withdrew. ‘The king himself saluted, and thus Drought to a close one of the most Ia- conic interviews that have ever taken place between a sovereign and a noble. ‘The example thus set by the old king became the fad among the German ar- my officers, but It cannot be said that {t appeals to the present emperor, who 4s, perhaps, the last monarch in Chris. tendom whom one would accuse of be {ng disposed to brevity of speech.

Washington, July 17.—Consal Gen- eral George E. Anderson, in a report to the bureau of manufacturers from Rio ‘Janeiro, charges that while some bona fide Brazilian diamond mines may re- sult profitably, that country is full of schemes which are either out-and-out frauds or are based on claims and facts 80 slight as to make them little lese than frauds. ‘The report says the United States and Great Britain, especially New York, Chicago and London, are the chief financial base of operations for a number of promoters, wlio have never done any mining, and that there are a number of eo-calied mining companies now soliciting stock subscriptions in the United States whose officers are not even certain where the land they claiin ‘as property lies. ‘The report states that experienced men in Brazilian mining fields say that not single mining company operating in the gold and diamond fields of Brazil has paid a dividend. The consul gen- eral adds that it is a lamentable fact that a large proportion of the Brazilian mining enterprises are fraads and that there are now men of the United States with enterprises which represent noth- ing more than the money they can get from the American public. TEST OF CANNED MEATS. Congress Will Know What is the Ef fect of Age. Washington, July 17. — The bareau of chemistry, Agricultural department, is to carry on a series of testa thie sum mer to ascertain definitely whether canned meats deteriorate. One of the bitter contentions over the meat in- spection amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill hinged on the senate requirement that packers should plac the date of mapufactare on each can 0 ‘meat. The packers, however, insisted that this was unwarranted, because they claimed that meat, once put up in ait Hight cane, would) last forever. The declared that canned meat was as good in ten years as it was in ten daya, and they brought to bear testimony of az official of the department to corroborate their statements. Some members o congress had their doubts about this however, #0 it has been decided to mak ‘a thorough investigation and find out whether the packers were correct 0 not. Uheanded Hacked With Axes. Siedlice, Russian Poland, July 17.— The Mariavits-Catholic strike has again been resumed, owing to the action of the court in returning to ite owners the Catholic church recently captured by pie Mariavite in the village of Grem- v. After the return of this church to the Catholics it was agaia attacked and recaptured by the Mariavits. The wounded were most horribly mal- treated, beaten, hacked with batchets and axes, etrips of their flesh being torn out, teeth and ears missing and eyes gouged out. Thousands Without Homes.

If it is true, as is often reported, that President Roosevelt's intention, in making an Afro-American the international collector for the Second district of New York, was to confound skeptics as to the capacity of the race by the spectacle of an Afro-American administering with eminent success one of the most important offices under the federal government, then the President's intention has been accomplished to his satisfaction; for he has sent to Hon. Charles W. Anderson a letter congratulating him upon the conduct of his office during his first year, which has just been completed. During the year his office has been examined four times by four different inspectors in the international revenue service, and each time the office has been rated No. 1. It has, therefore, maintained during the whole year a higher rating than it held when Mr. Anderson assumed charge. This is saying much, for Mr. Treat, his predecessor, now treasurer of the United States, was regarded as one of the best collectors in the country. Under him the office was excellently managed and rated high. Three of the inspectors made special reference in their reports to the personal attention given by Mr. Anderson to the business of his office. Since he has been in office Mr. Anderson has made, in the class exempt from the civil service, seven appointments, five of which were of Afro-Americans. These include one deputy at $1,650 a year, one at $1,400 two at $1,200, and a lady stenographer at $1,200. In appointments under the civil service he has followed not only the letter but the fundamental intention of the law, which is to secure the best men as employees. As most of us know, the appointing power is allowed to choose from the first three names on the civil service list. Mr. Anderson has invariably taken the first man on the list, and has never availed himself of his opportunity to take the second or third. One Afro-American, who headed the list, Mr. Anderson promptly made a gauger. The Second internal revenue district of New York, which extends from the Battery to Twenty-fourth street, comprises the Wall street and financial section of the city, perhaps the richest piece of territory of its size in the world. It is not only the seat of the greatest bankers, brokers and business men of the country, but also contains all of the largest importers of champagnes, French brandies, cordials, etc., and the greatest importers of whiskeys, tobacco and Havana and Porto Rican cigars. Both the tobacco trust and the whiskey trust have their headquarters in this district; the tobacco trust (the American Tobacco Co.) paying into the collector's office for stamps alone $2,500,000 yearly. Besides there are nearly 1,500 other cigar manufacturers and tobacco dealers in the district. Here also is located Special Bonded Warehouse No. 2, the largest in America, containing millions of dollars' worth of the finest old liquors. Coming also under the collector's supervision are many of the greatest manufacturing chemists' houses in the country. BOOKER WASHINGTON'S DECLA RATION ON NEGRO EDUCATION. (Cincinnati Enquirer, June 13, 1906). The Douglas school, in Alms place, which is exclusively for colored children, and has only colored teachers, will have manual training and domestic science equipment installed during the summer, and, beginning in September, a larger variety of work these two departments will be taught than in any other school in the city. Booker the engineer, principal of the College Normal and Industrial Institute, in a letter replying to one from Superintendent Dyer, asking for suggestions says: "Fundamentally, I cannot get away from the idea that the ideal system of industrial work or manual training for any people should be based upon a careful study of the occupations which the parents and the people in the community are actually engaged in. If, for example, the parents of the boys are engaged pretty generally in woodwork, brickwork, or household work, or the parents of the girls in landering, cooking, or in household service of any character, I believe that the school should emphasize efficiency in the industry in which the parents are successful. When education is based on such a foundation, one is not running the risk of feeling that the student is being trained for an occupation which he cannot follow. To be more specific, the ideal arrangement for your school, it seems to me, would be to have your superintendent of manual training make a careful investigation and see in what direction the colored people are actually employed in the neighborhood from which these children come, and then in the school try to bring the everyday industrial life to the people in touch with what will be done in the school. In this way the education is not only made helpful and practical, but secures at once, or should secure the interest and cooperation of the parents." operating Superintendent of Manual Training then shown, the letter, said: Ball, when shown the letter, said: "The suggestions made by Booker Washington are good and valuable, but there is serious objection to carrying them out to the letter. He plan would leave children with their parents are, our object is to broaden our skill horizon and enlarge the field of opportunity. We are now working out our plans, and, while details are not yet decided on, it can be said that more things will be taught in the Douglas manual training department than in any other school." New York, July 9.—Hannah Elias, the colored woman who has got $685.00, mostly in one bunch, and a great deal more at other times from John R. Platt, has jarred a goodly part of Harlem by ordering all of the white tenants out of two big flat buildings, and notifying the neighbors that in future none but colored families will be allowed to occupy the premises. This indicates that the wealthy colored woman will make a colored settlement out of one of the choicest neighborhoods above One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. Philip A. Payton, a colored real estate dealer of No. 67 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, purchased a few days ago for $100.000 the two flats at Nos. 168 and 170 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, occupied by more than 15 reputable white families. West and east of these houses are many high-priced apartment houses. The occupants of these, as well as the tenants of the purchased houses, are the ones who are jarred by the edict of the rich woman. The sale was made last week, and on Friday each tenant of the Elias houses received a note from Payton, notifying him to vacate by tomorrow, the note adding that in the future none but respectable colored families were to occupy the flats.

MOST BEAUTIFUL Congressional Library at W Famous for Its Magnificent L IN THE DOME So many celebrities were concerned in the planning, erection and adornment of the Congressional Library, that a list of them would embrace all of the great ones in the world of art and architecture. With due regard to a very few structures which cost more, the Library is ranked as the most beautiful public building in America, and one of the most magnificent in the world. From first to last, it had the most assiduous care of its projectors, and constant watchfulness made graft—that practice of diverting the public money to private ends so noticeable in some other undertakings of similar character—impossible; so that the money appropriated went to exactly the uses intended. There are other buildings of more general importance in Washington. The Capitol, of course, ranks first, and the Treasury and State, War and Navy buildings follow closely; but however it is exceeded in such affairs as pertain to the business of the government, even the Capitol cannot approach the Library in interior beauty. The Congressional Library represents an outlay of $7,000,000. It covers an area of three and one-half acres, or about the same as the ground area of the Capitol. It is 470x340 feet in dimensions and has four large inner courts averaging 150x100 feet. The Library is situated squarely in front of the Capitol, and is separated from it by beautiful lawns and driveways. It covers the site of seventy residences which were bought in the late 80's at a cost of about $600,000. The foundations were begun in 1889, and the building was completed in 1897. The structure is of the Italian Renaissance order of architecture, has three stories and dome. The latter is finished in black copper, with panels covered with a thick coating of gold leaf. The burning torch of Science, with which the dome is capped, reaches a height of 195 feet above ground. The only jarring note in the whole structure is caused by the low elevation of the torch, as compared with the towering 307 feet of the statue of Armed Freedom on the dome of the Capitol just across the way. One is likely to call the Library "squatty" when comparing the two buildings, but this feeling is lost immediately on entrance to the wonders of the main stair hall. The lofty ceiling is arched and groined so gracefully and artistically and the general effect is so harmonious, that the visitor almost invariably loses sight of the magnificence of the ornamentation in admiration of the apartment as a whole; that is at first. Seated on one of the numerous settees, but a short time ensues are color and decorative schemes begin to formulate, and then the full magnificence of the majestic hall bursts upon one with dazzling effect. It is possible that in the wonderful structures of India—the Taj Mahal, for example—there are rooms more beautiful. How they could be so, however, the imagination cannot conceive. The columns, and stairways, and balustrades, and arches, are all made of the purest of white marble, highly pol- --- The writer hauled milk to a creamery when a lad. It had all to be drawn into deep or "shotgun" cans, and set in tanks of cold water to raise the cream, and after twelve to twenty-four hours was taken out and skimmed by hand. Think of the labor involved! Now, the practical physicist supplies the centrifugal cream separator. There is the power separator at the factory, and the hand separator on the farm. We can make a cream of any desired richness to produce the best and richest butter. The combined churn and worker is one of the greatest labor-saving devices that has been introduced into dairying. It enables the buttermaker to control the temperature of his butter during the moulting of it, first by greatly hastening the process, and secondly, by preventing exposure of the butter to the unfavorable temperature, conditions that so commonly exist in many make-rooms, and to which it was exposed on the old-style work worker. PUBLIC BUILDING Washington Decorations JOHN BETTERMAN ished and inlaid with stones in mylard colorings. At the sides rise lofty rounded columns with elegantly carved Corinthian capitals and the arches are picked out in marble rosettes, palm leaves and follated designs of the most exquisite finish. The skylight is seventy-two feet above the floor. There could be nothing richer or more magnificent than the stairways, with their festoons of fruits and flowers and the turnpasts surmounted by two great bronze figures bearing standards for electric lights. The staircases are also ornamented with twenty-six marble figures by Martiny, representing the arts and sciences and carved in bold relief. A master of language has described this stair hall as a poem in polished stone, and it is by all odds the finest marble interior in America. The Congressional Library had its inception in 1800, when Congress appropriated $5,000 for it. From that small beginning, the Library has grown until it now contains more than a million books. Every copyrighted work is represented, the law requiring the deposit of two copies of each publication copyrighted. A number of special, priceless collections are here, including Thomas Jefferson's library, the Smithsonian library and ancient, priceless engravings almost without limit. Any person may use the library, but only members of Congress, the President, Supreme Court, and government officials may draw books out of it. The book stacks are of iron and rise in tiers nine stories to the roof. Each stack has a capacity of 800,000 volumes. There are about forty-four running miles of shelving, and the capacity of the Library when all available space is taken up is estimated at 4,500,000 volumes. When books are wanted at the Capitol, they are taken through a tunnel by means of an endless chain mechanism. The exterior of the Library is somewhat plain, in contrast to the interior. The visitor to Washington who does not give the Library all the time possible misses much. It is the only public building in the city which is open to visitors after nightfall, and its decorations appear more charming if possible under electric light than in daylight. The hours are 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. and so numerous are the visitors that the attendants are usually busy from opening to closing time.—Williamport (Pa. ) Grit. LONDON'S HUMOR AND FUN. Cockneys Bubble Over with the Light Things of Speech. Menton has been made of the gay and careless nature of the Parisian. Has any one except a true-born Londoner ever observed the humor and fun which lie in great masses among the people of London? W. W. Jacobs in modern days has depleted some of this in special particulars. Dickens, above all writers, most faithfully portrayed many phases of it. Thackeray has dealt with it in a manner not likely to be repeated. But all three authors do not collectively make up the mass of London humor. It is everywhere. It peeps out --- THE NEW AGE. PORTLAND. OREGON A It is now seventeen years since the great Johnstown flood occurred, a disaster that will never be forgotten in history on account of its rapidity, its horrors and the great loss of life. Johnstown lies in a narrow valley at the foot of the Allegheny Mountains, between Conemaugh River and Stony Creek, with a precipitous hill on one side and a gentle slope on the other. In 1889 it had a population of 30,000 souls, and was the busy, thriving principal point between Philadelphia and Pittsburg. For a week previous to the tragic day of the downfall there had been heavy rains, and the mountain streams were muddy and full. The whole face of nature back of the town presented a change to its usual aspect, and May 31 the waters bulked where South Fork Lake and the dam connected, and, tearing away the stone coping, gave the first token of danger. Three horsemen started wildly down the valley to arouse the people and tell them of impending peril. Half a dozen houses were swept away, and then the flood burst upon Johnstown. Hotels, gas and water plants, banks, residences, were all swallowed up by the devastating flood. In one borough, out of 600 houses only 186 were left standing. The loss in money value was many millions; the loss of life over 3,000. When the flood was past, a terrible chaos of wreckage dotted the valley to its furthest extent. Charity and enterprise, however, soon evolved the beginning of a risen city from the old, and on Monday, June 3, 1889, Johnstown began its first new building. The test is now in constant use with all advanced dairymen. They use it freely as a guide for dividing the proceeds of the factory, for testing the by-products with a view to reducing losses to the minimum, for alding in the detection of adulterations, and for testing the individual cows in the herd. It furnishes a ready means for determining the per cent of fat in milk and its products and by-products. Before its introduction the farmer had to churn the cream from the milk of each cow to determine her true value for dairy purposes, and the manufacturer of dairy products groped largely in the dark as regarded the milk and cream he handled, and guessed at the losses in by-products. The physleist supplied the lactometer for determining the specific gravity of milk, and this acted as a companion to the test to enable the dairyman to readily determine the solids of milk, and to detect the nature and extent of adulterations. The acidimeter, or "alkall test," is most valu- SALAMANDRA with drivers of public vehicles who use their horses as friends from whom to draw inspiration for their sallies of humor, and one wonders what will become of all this when the horseless vehicle is the universal mode of vehicular traction. Surely the man who turns a handle is not the same as the man who holds the reins and can not get out of electricity and petroleum what has been got out of the pulsations of horses. It comes to us from the railway porters and servants who keep at bay the troublesome multitude by defy turning into broad farce events which begin seriously. It comes, too, from hotel and restaurant waiters, who see enough of the grim humors of life to become an almost endless source of inspiration. But it is also apparent on able in processes of cheese-making and in the ripening of cream for buttermaking. Then there is the culture or "starter," to aid in controlling the flavor of milk in cheese-making, the use of the pasteurizer, the "fermentation test," and other aids in expert dairying. The pasteurizer controls the heating of the milk or cream to a sufficiently high temperature to kill practically all the germ life present in it. Afterwards the cream is seeded with desirable forms of germ life, to take control of it, and through their growth and development produce the required flavor in the cream and its product. All these improvements have led to real and substantial advancement in dalryming during recent years, and the industry is constantly reaching a highly scientific basis. We are learning more and more the "reason why" of things, and consequently learning how to do our work better and more intelligently, and how to advance it. the surface. Butcher boy and baker boy and shop boy are full of it. They carry their goods along in happy ignorance of the sport they give to those who can note the humorous in life. And the costermonger and itinerant dealer, to be net with almost everywhere, are special products of London who can not fail to attract. One does not quite meet the counterparts of these people in Paris. Those who take their place are not so distinctive and partake more of the characteristics of the average Parisian. They send out, therefore, to the observer only what the average Parisian sends out, and do not stand apart as types of what the city can do in the way of carrying on the humors of the time. Some day, perhaps, there will arise a greater humorist in London who will penetrate what London produces in this respect, and when this shall happen London will appear a haplier and more genial place than is commonly supposed.—Cornhill Magazine.

COLFAX, WASHINGTON --- ASHLAND, OREGON Tour of Europe From Algiers the tourist sails for Palermo, with its beautiful gulf, "The Golden Shell," encircled by lofty mountains. The city lies in a blossoming plain, was fought for, like all Sicilian cities, by Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Saracens and Normans, and, although still fairy-like of environment, retains few traces of its origin. When the last of the winter snows has melted away, the orange and judas trees bloom marvelously, and every land breeze brings the city a springtime freight of the rarest fragrance. Nature offers man an Eden here, but he, poor mortal that he is, hungers and thrists plitfully, starving physically in this paradise of beauty. unearthed in Pompeii. It is an interesting experience to view the Neapolitan tans under the stress of excitement such as is witnessed when an eruptic of Vesuvius is apprehended. All night the streets are thronged with people who watch with superstitions awe the column of fire that rise fully 1,000 feet in height and the great masses of molten lava that leap up to the air and fall heavily to earth again, carrying destruction with them. The fact which excites the people most however, is that the mountain "sweating fire"—to use an expression of an Italian scientist—that is, opening up new craters which discharge burning streams of lava that surround an Poverty is general in Palermo, yet it has its treasured sights—the university, the public libraries, the many famous churches, clubs and palaces, and courts of justice. In some of these edifices are mosaics which are like old tapestries, silken in appearance, but more enduring than tapestry handwork being made of cubes of agate, of jasper, lapls lazuli, and other rare and brilliant stones. The people are given to many church feast days, but the poorer workers are quite industrious. The cobblers work necessarily to make the money wherewith to buy their daily macaroni. The tailors with extraordinary skill patch old clothes, which look at the beginning as if they never could be worn again. The sellers of poultry carry their wares tied together by the legs and hung suspended from their necks. The bucksters sell cauliflowers—pink, purple, green or yellow. The fountains are the centers for gassing women and idle malds. Families often have their luncheons in open doorways. They sit on the earthen floor with the shallow platter of charcoal, where their meal is heated, placed between them. There is a certain friendliness about the sunny city, notwithstanding its poverty. The flowers that grow charm irresistibly, and the human element seems only incidental. Naples never looks more beautiful than when the morning sun reveals the city in a negligee of rainbow colors, with Capri and Sorrento in night, and Mount Vesuvius, distinguished-looking in the tall, white plume it wears. The Museum of Naples is a treasure house of artistic and archeological gems. Its mosaics and frescoes are famous, and its pictures include "Scenes from the Story of Hercules," "Achilles Dellivering Brise is to the Heralds of Agamemnon," and other classical subjects. Here, too, is found the celebrated Farnese Hercules, and a cabinet of medals and the small bronzes Equipped with nothing but their skill and endurance, a few ponies, a gun or two, and provision enough to last them for the day, the early mountaineers of the West set out to make their way through a vast wilderness that held all the terrors of the unknown. William T. Hamilton, a type of these self-reliant men, spent his whole life on the plains, and in "Sixty Years on the Plains" he tells, among other things, of the foods in use by the Cheyennes, with whom the plainsmen often came in contact. The Cheyennes were and are to-day a proud and brave people. Meat is their principal food, although different kinds are collected in season, as well as various roots. The kettle is on the tripod night and day. Most tribes of plain Indians dry their meat by cutting it into thin flakes and spreading it on racks and poles in the sun. Pennican is manufactured in the following manner: The choicest cuts of meat are selected and cut into flakes and dried. Then all the marrow is collected and the best of the tallow, and both tallow and marrow are dissolved together over a slow fire. Many tribes use berries in their Pennican. Mountaineers always do unless they have sugar. The meat is now pulverized to the consistency of mince-meat, the squaws generally doing this on a flat rock, using a pestle. A layer of meat is spread, about two inches thick, the squaws using a wooden dipper, a buffalo horn or a claw for this work. On this meat is spread a certain amount of the melted marrow and tallow, the proportion depending on the taste. This same process is repeated until the desired amount is secured. One pound of pemmlean is equal in nourishment to five pounds of fresh meat. Another important article of food, the equal of which is not to be had except from the buffalo, is "depuyer," depouillé. It is a fat substance that lies along the backbone next to the hide, running from the shoulder-blade to the last rib, and about as thick as one's hand or finger. It will weigh from five to eleven pounds, according to the size or condition of the animal. It will keep indefinitely, and is used as a substitute for bread, but is superior to any bread that was ever eaten. When going on the warpath the Indians would take some dried meat and some "depuyer" to live on, and nothing else, not even if they were to be gone for months. Women invariably speak of an unmarried minister as talented. unearthed in Pompell. It is an interesting experience to view the Neapolitans under the stress of excitement, such as is witnessed when an eruption of Vesuvius is apprehended. All night the streets are thronged with people who watch with superstitions awe the column of fire that rises fully 1,000 feet in height and the great masses of molten lava that leap up in the air and fall heavily to earth again, carrying destruction with them. The fact which excites the people most, however, is that the mountain is "sweating fire"—to use an expression of an Italian scientist—that is, opening up new craters which discharge burning streams of lava that surround and ruin neighboring villages on the mountain's slope. They realize the appropriateness of Goethe's words, "Vesuvius is a peak of hell rising out of paradise." For all of the volcano's lower slopes are fertile vineyards, where is grown that famous wine of ashes, the Lacrimosa Christi. And just above are hardened lava streams, contorted like lizards and crocodiles in agony. From Naples, by a brief drive, Pompell, city of the dead, is reached. So deeply was this place covered by Vesu-vius, that during the middle ages the site became a historic mystery. It is a sombre, lonely spot. The various houses shown to tourists have been given names in accordance with the treasures discovered in them when they were disentombed. There is the "House of the Wounded Adonis," "the House of the Labyrinth"—so called because a mosaic of Theseus and the Minotaur was found in it; there are the "House of the Little Fountain," "The House of the Faun," "The House of the Tragic Poet." There are temples, too, the theater upon the hill, and the famous forum, never finished, where one can get the finest views from Pompell of the mighty mountain which ever, even in comparatively peaceful mood, flames its defiance at the sun and stars of heaven. This buried city is the best source from which to learn what the domestic life of the Romans really was. Originally settled by the Ossians, and thoroughly imbued with the civilization of classic Greece later, in 82 B. C. it fell into Roman hands and became so Romanized by its conquerors that by the time of its final destruction, in 63 A. D., it had been rebuilt in Roman style. The final catastrophe, wherein the city was buried under successive layers of ashes, red hot pumice, and ashes again, did not take place until August, 79 A. D. Aged Sunnathi Forced to Sell Tomb- stones of His Ancestors. Nearly blind and helpless, Chief Sunnihat of the Alaska Haldahs arrived in the city on the steamer Al-Kl, en route to Los Angeles, Cal., to secure treatment. In order to obtain treatment for his eyes the Indian chief has sold the tombstones to the graves of his ancestors, the house in which he lived in Alaska, many curios which he has collected from the members of his tribe, and will go on exhibition himself at Redondo, the Huntington summer resort near Los Angeles. Chief Sunnihat and the collection of Indian curios, including three tomb poles, of which is the largest ever sent out of Alaska, are in charge of W. L. Bunard and Walter Weymouth. The house, totem poles and other curios weigh a total of about 200 tons and will be transferred to three different boats before reaching the destination. The largest of the three totem poles is fifty feet in length and four feet four inches in circumference at the butt. The house was torn to pieces at Kassaan, Prince of Wales Island, and shipped in that manner to be erected again at Redondo. At Redondo Clerf Sunnhat will live in his own house, surrounded by the totem poles and the other curios which form the collection. He will be one of the features of the summer resort and will remain as long as his eyes are in need of treatment. He is about 70 years of age and has been chief of the Haldas since he was 14. The house of the Indian chief is the first house to be sold out of Alaska. When this house was built Chief Sunnhat gave a big potlatch to the members of his tribe, at which he gave away about 3,000 blankets. The big totem pole was shipped in sections on the Al-Ki, and immediately after the arrival of the Alaska steamer in port was transferred to the Umatilla for San Francisco and will be transferred again on arrival at that port for southern California—Seattle Post Intelligencer.

Central Pacific to Pierce the Sierra Nevada Mountains. "The boring of what will be the longest tunnel in the United States, and one of the longest in the world, has very recently been determined upon by the Central Pacific Railroad Company," says J. Mayne Baltimore in the Technical World Magazine. "Chief Engineer William Hood has finished plans and reports for the proposed gigantic six-mile hole to be bored through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, a short distance west of the town of Truckee Arlz. The object of this great tunnel is to cut down the present mountain climb of 7,017 feet by fully 2,000 feet, and thus eliminate many of the present curves and much of the grade. Chief Engineer Hood's reports contain some modifications of his first series of surveys, made some years ago, and these will doubtless be approved by President Harriman; and work, it is expected, will very soon be commenced on this great tunnel. "It is estimated that the tunnel will cost not less than $10,000,000 and that among other things it will cheapen the annual expenses of operating trains over the mountain division by fully $100,000. Being over 36,000 feet in length, the tunnel will be one of the longest in the world and certainly the longest in the United States. The longest now in existence on this continent is the 16,000-foot bore in the Cascade range in Washington, on the Great Northern Railroad." Encouraging Him.

The movement for the protection of birds in America has long since assumed formidable proportions, says American Homes and Gardens. Much of the credit for the work accomplished is due to the Audubon societies, which exist in thirty-five States, and which for a number of years have carried on an active work for the conserving of bird life. The results accomplished are considerable. A "model law" drawn up by the American Ornithologists' union is now in force in thirty States and the District of Columbia. The Lacey law excludes from interstate commerce all birds killed illegally in any State, and makes those legitimately killed subject to the law of the State in which they are bourght. Laws prohibiting the sale of game out of season, even when killed in season, look toward the same end of conserving bird life. Public attention has been aroused on the subject, and even the manufacturer of air rifles no longer calls attention to the fact that they will kill small game within short distances. Absolute protection has not yet been given the birds everywhere, but a great and important work has been well begun and is being carried forward. Clear as Thick Ink: On the South Side is a Chinaman who has not been in Chicago long enough to master the English language, save that he has grasped the meaning of a few words. The other day he went into the store of a tradesman, but was unable to make any one in the store understand what he wanted. To the clerks he kept saying "tiling, tiling." After all had given up in despair and when John was about to make his departure, the proprietor happened to make his appearance. At once "tiling" to him was string and he procured a section of rope the size of a clothesline. John looked at it for a moment, took it in his yellow fingers and then said "young tling." Then the merchant went to a cabinet, pulled out a drawer and came back with a spool of thread. The Mongolian's face was at once wreathed with smiles. He handed over his nickel and went about his business with the air of a man who had accomplished a great undertaking.—Chicago News. Fortune's Wheel.

Our neighbors will soon have returned to them the small change that has drifted out of their circulation and has for years been tossing about in ours, says the Toronto Mail and Empire. The nickels, the dimes, the 25-cent pieces, the 50-cent pieces and the dollar pieces that bear, if not exactly the image and superscription, at all events the emblem of Uncle Sam will vanish from the pockets and the tills to and from which they used to pass in this country on equal terms with our own silver coin. Under an arrangement made by the finance department with the banks the latter are arresting all the American silver coins that come into their hands. At the beginning of the present month the plan for the exclusion of this alien money came into operation. All of the American pieces that reach the banks will be sorted and shipped to New York, where they will be received at the agency of the Bank of Montreal. It is not because they will be specially benefited by the riddance that the banks are helping the coin out. Though the amount of this American metallic money in Canada is estimated at $1,000,000, it does not compete to any appreciable extent with bank currency, which is all in the form of notes of no lower denomination than $5. It is true if we give facility to the circulation of American coin we invite American paper money. Doubtless there would be less of the latter here if the silver of our neighbors were always refused in Canada. It is dominion government money, however, not bank money, that is displaced by American silver passing in Canada. And with the dominion government the loss is no mere interest charge. The government loses the difference between the coin value and the bullion value. The metal in a 50-cent piece costs the government about 23 cents. The piece of bullion for which it pays out 23 cents is stamped into coin, which is accepted by the creditors, suppliers or employees of the government as payment for 50 cents' worth of service, material or credit. If the $1,000,000 of American silver had not been in the country $1,000,000 of Canadian silver would have been required. To provide this money the government would have had to spend about $450,000, but as it would have got $1,000,000 for it there would have been a profit of $550,000. This should not be foregone because of indulgence toward our neighbors or because we are too careless to look after our own interests. By keeping its money here we were really contributing more than $500,000 to the revenue of the United States. FREIGHT RULES IN GERMANY. Requirements to Be Met by American to Kaiser's Land. American shippers of goods destined for transportation over the railroads of Germany will save expenditure of money, annoyance and possible loss of future business by exercising great care in the preparation of the shipping documents covering the goods, stating with exactitude the net and gross weights in kilos, and if the contents are inflammable or otherwise dangerous in character their exact nature should be stencilled on the case or package, as well as stated in the freight bill, says the New York Tribune. Heavy fines are imposed for infringement of the regulations governing freight upon the German roads, as embodied in the freight tariff of April 1, 1906. The shippers is responsible for the correctness and completeness of the statements found in freight bills and incurs all the consequences arising from inexact or insufficient declaration. If, at the shipper's request, the freight bills are filled out by railroad employees, the responsibility of the shipper is in no wise lessened. If, in carload shipments, the weight quoted in the freight bill shows no greater deviation than 2 per cent from that ascertained from the railway scales, the former is considered correct. In cases of an incorrect declaration of the contents of a shipment, or of a too low declaration of the weight of a carload, or of the overloading of a car beyond its prescribed capacity, by the shipper or his agent, in addition to being obliged to pay the possible freight difference and compensation for the damage produced, fines may be imposed and made payable to the companies concerned in the transportation of the goods, the amounts of which vary from $2.85 a kilo (2.20 pounds) to various minor penalties. If fines are not paid by the shipper or his agent within a specified period, the goods may be sold at public sale, and the proceeds derived applied to the payment of the fine. Should they not equal this amount, the shipper will still be held accountable for the difference. Dainty Little Aztec Women The feminine direct descendants of the famous Aztecs are tiny creatures, exquisitely formed and refined in feature. They carry the head with the upbearing grace of the full-blooded Indian; their skin are not red, but a clear, smooth copper color that shines like gold in the sun; their hair is coarse, and black as ebony, and they are decorated with bright feathers and gay ornaments. These women make the most wonderful pottery that comes to us from Mexico, for they have kept the old Aztec forms and decorations in their art, and they also weave wonderful baskets and do exquisite embroidery.—New York News. If the parents of a girl want her to marry a certain young man all they have to do is pretend that they have no earthly use for him. RHEUMATISM ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMMER AS IN WINTER. While the damp, cold, changing weather of Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a winter disease exclusively. Through the long months of Summer its wandering pains and twitching nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated. Rheumatism is a disease that involves the entire system. Its primary cause results from the failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in contact with the different acids of the body forms uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood, making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing the body, and as this vital stream goes to every nook and corner of the body, the poison is distributed to all parts. The nervous system weakens from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes feverish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased condition of the entire system is the result. Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed to remain in the blood, and the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joints, and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life. Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes on new life and the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood, and at the same time build up and strengthen the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be permanently cured. External applications relieve the pain and temporarily reduce the inflammation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have any effect on the disease. The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated before a cure can be effected. S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheumatism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid and driving it out, and building up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment and strength to every part of the body, it cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe cure for the disease; being purely vegetable, it will not injure the system in the least, as do those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones up the blood of every particle of the poison. Write for our book on Rheumatism, and ask our physicians for any advice you wish. We make no charge for either. SSS MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE CREAM. Cottonseed Oil Used Instead of the Ordinary Ingredients Ordinary Ingredients. "When Prof. Stillman of Stevens institute gave a dinner to two friends, at which most of the v兰s were made artificially by chemical means," writes Lawrence Perry in the Technical World magazine, "he had small idea of the furore his efforts would produce. But he has received hundreds of letters asking how different dishes were produced—so many that he has not had time to answer many of them. "The chemical processes which he employed were some of them simple and some quite complicated. To make vanilla ice cream by artificial means, for instance, the alchemist took some triple refined cottonseed oil and placed it in a centrifugal machine which revolved at a velocity of 3,000 revolutions a minute. A beautiful emulsion was thereby produced, which was then frozen, chemically, of course. The flavor was obtained by the addition of vanillin, glucin and nitrobenzol. They say that ice cream composed as above is sold in many Southern States where cottonseed oil is more plentiful and consequently cheaper than milk or cream. It is far from harmful, tastes good and does not melt as quickly as the genuine ice."

Last Summer I had a severe attack of Infirmary Rheumatism in the knees, from which I was unable to leave my room for several months. I was treated by two doctors and also tried different kinds of liniments and medicines which seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I was not any nearer getting well. One day while reading a paper I saw an advertisement of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided to give it a trial, which I did at once. After I had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and I continued to take it regularly until I was entirely cured. I now feel better than I have for years. CHAS. E.
