One man who resisted was shot. The steamer Dakota is still on the rocks in Tokio bay. Much of the mail has been removed, but the baggage has been lost. Hill and Harriman have come to an agreement regarding Puget sound terminals, but nothing has been yielded at Portland. The Supreme court of the United States upholds the law forbidding desecration of the flag by using it for advertising purposes. Henry Meldrum, former surveyor general, and Senator Fulton have been called as witnesses in the Hermann trial. Their testimony did not help the defense out of the tight box into whiche it is getting. Munipal ownership has suffered a blow in the London elections. The Interstate Commerce commission is considering plans to curb Harriman. San Francisco authorities are preparing to seize the water plant as city property. The house has passed a bill providing for three-cent fares in the District of Columbia. Charges are made in Salt Lake that the police fore, including the chief, stood in with gamblers and thieves. Jerome is striving to send Thaw to the insane asylum without the case over going to the jury. Third Son of President Seriously Ill With Dichtheria. Washington, March 8. — Archie Roosevelt, the president's third son, who has been suffering from diphtheria since last Friday, had a turn for the worse yesterday, and last night, though he had rallied somewhat, his condition is serious. Dr. Alexander Lambert, of New York, in response to a telegram from the president, arrived in Washington at 9 o'clock and took charge of the case. Doctors Rixey, Kennedy and Braisted were holding a consultation when Dr. Lambert arrived at the White House. Just previous to his coming, further anti-toxin was injected into the patient. Washington, March 8.—At 1:30 a.m. word from Dr. Lambert, who was at the sick boy's bedside, says that he is still in a serious condition. There has been no change. Washington, March 8.—A message from the White House at 3 a.m. to the house of Congressman Nicholas Longworth says that, while Archie was resting easy, his condition was still critical. The message bore Dr. Lambert's signature. Iroquois Theater Trial Blocked From Reaching Jury. Danville, Ill., March 8.—The trial of Will J. Davis, charged with manslaughter on account of the fire in the Iroquois theater in Chicago in 1903, is now at a standstill so far as evidence is concerned and promises to be tied up in the courts indefinitely on legal points. When these points have been passed to the court, more of vital importance will be submitted. The defense offers to admit the facts. The prosecution denies its right to do so. Counsel representing the state said it would be shown that the theater was incomplete when opened and unfinished at the time of the fire, and that Mr. Davis knowingly violated the ordinance relating to safety in public playhouses. The defense moved that the prosecution be required to introduce the ordinance in question, the theory being that, should the court hold the ordinance invalid, there would have been no law for Davis to violate. The court set Friday for hearing the argument. Military Engineer Dies in Mexico- Hundreds Smugged In. Guadalajara, Mex., March 8.—One of the Japanese who deserted the construction camps of the Mexican Central railroad died a few days ago at the Santo Domingo mine, of the Ampara Mining company, in the Etzian district, of this state. His papers were turned over to the general manager of the company and it was found he was a military engineer in the employ of the Japanese government. Before his death the Japanese engineer stated that he was on his way to the United States. Of the 1,400 Japanese landed in the last three months for work on the Mexican Central, only 250 remain. The others deserted and many of them are now in the United States. One of the interpreters of the Japanese workmen was correspondent of one of the leading Tokio newspapers during the war with Russia. Another is the son of a high government official in Tokio. New York, March 8.—Speaker Cannon and the other members of the congressional party which sailed a few days ago on the Hamburg-American steamship Blucher, may not be permitted, to visit Colon, according to information received here today. The party had planned to stop at Colon on the homeward trip and inspect the canal work. Today the news came that the Panama government has established a quarantine against Venezuelan ports because of a reported outbreak of yellow fever at La Guayra., The Blucher is scheduled to call at La Guayra and also at Puerto Cabello. Chicago, March 8.—A special to the Tribune from Washington says: Official steps have been taken by the state of Illinois to attack the validity of $32,000,000 in Alton railroad bonds issued by E. H. Harriman and his associates when they reorganized the Chicago & Alton Railroad company. The Interstate Commerce commission has received an application from W. H. Stead, attorney general of the state of Illinois, asking for a complete transcript of all the testimony taken by the Interstate Commerce commission. Sacramento, Cal., March 8.—Governor Gillett this morning signed the capital removal bill. Sacramento thus loses the seat of government of California, which goes to Berkeley. Governor Gillett was expected to veto the measure. Sacramento is much aroused. New Age ARCHIE SUFFERS RELAPSE. TIED UP BY LEGAL POINTS. JAPANESE SPIES ABOUND May Not See Canal After All Illinois Prepares Attack Removal Bill is Signed. SAVES TIMBER LAND NEW RESERVES IN NORTHWEST Adds Nearly 9,000,000 Acres to National Forests of Oregon, Wash- Washington, March 5. — Prior to signing the agricultural bill, which contains Senator Fulton's amendment prohibiting the creation of forest reserves in the Northwestern states except by the authority of congress, the president yesterday issued a proclamation creating 32 forest reserves in the six states affected by the Fulton amendment. His proclamations add 4,051,000 acres to the reserve area of Oregon, 4,246,000 acres in Washington and 580,000 acres in Idaho. The creation of these reserves probably marks the end of reserve extension in the Northwest for many years to come, for the additions now include most of the desirable timber land of all six states, so far as known to the Forest service. Being hastily made in order to circumvent the restrictions of the Fulton amendment, the reserves are loosely created and no doubt contain much land that will be found unsuited to forestry purposes and which will ultimately be restored to entry. The largest reservation in Oregon was an addition of 977,000 acres to the Blue mountain reserves in Eastern Oregon. Other additions in existing reserves are: 446,000 to the Siskiyou in Southern Oregon, 71,000 acres to the Weneha reserve, 514,000 acres to the Cascade reserve, mostly on its western border, and 154,000 to the Ashland reserve in Southwestern Oregon. To include the timber land of the Coast range the president created the Tillamook reserve, containing 165,000 acres; the Coquille reserve, embodying 140,000 acres, and the Umpqua reserve, with an area of 802,000 acres. The Wallawoa and Chesninimus reserves are combined under the name of Immah, and 783,000 acres are added. In Washington the Washington reserve is enlarged by the addition of 2,275,000 acres, which includes practically all government land between the present Washington and Rainier reserves. This makes one continuous reserve along the Cascade mountains from the Columbia river to the international boundary. This addition embraces the Northern Pacific grant, but railroad lands are not made part of the reserve and no right of lieu selection accrues. A new reserve is created to include 857,000 acres of the Colville Indian lands; the Priest river reserve is created in Stevens county to contain 310,000 acres; the Olympic reserve is enlarged by 119,000 acres, and 730,000 acres are added to the Rainier reserve. Most of the forest land in Idaho has already been reserved. A Palouse reserve is created with an area of 192,000 acres; the Port Neuf is created with an area of 100,000 acres; the Big Horn is enlarged by the addition of 280,000 acres, and about 100,000 acres is added to the Weiser reserve. MANY "DEAD DUCKS." Number of Noted Men Will Not Appear in Next Congress. Washington, March 5.—It is probable that the designation is resented, but "dead duck" is the name the surviving congressmen apply to those who have failed of re-election. The Washington game bag is full of "dead ducks" today. Nine members of the senate have yielded their seats to their successors. The surrendering ones are J. Frank Alec of Delaware, James H. Berry of Arkansas, Joseph C. S. Blackburn of Kentucky, Edward W. Carmack of Tennessee, William A. Clark, of Montana, John F. Dryden of New Jersey, Joseph H. Millard of Nebraska, Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, and Thomas M. Patterson of Colorado. In the house there were 72 members whose names will not be called at the next session. Invading Honduran Army. San Salvador March 5.—A strong column of Honduran troops has invaded Nicaragua through the department of Ocotal. The headquarters of the Honduran army is established at Pespire. President Bonilla is in Chilaceta directing affairs there generally. He is well satisfied with the discipline and the spirit of the troops. Chilaceta, as at present fortified, is deemed impregnable. The general opinion here is that the Honduran forces will eventually triumph over those of the Nicaraguan government. Accepts Two-cent Rat>. Lincoln, Neo., March 5.—Governor Sheldon tonight received official notice from the Burlington Railroad company that it will accept the 2-cent fare law without resistance and revise its rates. RAILWAYS GIVE AID Colonist Rates Promote the Upbuilding of Northwestern States. Low one-way colonist rates to the Northwest are helping largely in settling up the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. These reduced fares are perhaps the greatest factor in inducing immigration outside of the publicity work of the various chambers of commerce of these states. The railroads are working hand in hand with the commercial bodies everywhere in the Pacific Northwest to swell the number of settlers in this territory. Colonist rates are not new in Western railroading, but at no time previously have they been so effective in diverting travel this way as at present and the biggest colonist movement in the history of the Pacific Northwest is predicted for the four spring and fall months of 1907 when the reduced one-way fares are in effect. The growth of the westward movement is due to the better advertising and exploitation methods of commercial bodies and railroads and to the growing density of population in the East, where many are able to find more congenial surroundings by moving away to a part of the country where there is more elbow room, where climate is more equable the year around and where land is cheaper and less worn by repeated cropping for years. These conditions contribute to the constant "trek" westward which is a significant movement in the history of the American continent and which dates from the days of the California argonauts of '49. By prairie schooner and by ship the pioneers came to settle a vast wilderness. Since the transcontinental railroads have been built, the second generation has found an easier mode of seeking out the great West but the movement has by no means ended and is on in greater volume than ever before. HITS ROCK OFF EUREKA. Steamer Oakland Another Victim to Humboldt Bar. Eureka, Cal., March 5. — Humboldt bar claimed another victim today when the steamer Oakland, in an attempt to reach the inside entrance, ran on the rocks of the south jetty. For almost an hour the Oakland remained on the rocks, and the bar tug Ranger was called to her assistance by the lifesaving crew. When the tug reached the Oakland, Captain Krager, of the Oakland, refused aid. A big wave washed the Oakland from her pervious position, but also tore off her rudder. For several hours she drifted helplessly and periously near the rocks. The lifeboat, commanded by Captain Hennig, put out. At this time the Oakland displayed distress signals and once more the tug Ranger went to her assistance, towing her this time into the bay, where she was beached in a badly leaking condition. There are several large holes in her stern. The Oakland went on the rocks about 1,000 feet from the wrecked Corona. Several attempts have been made to reach the Corona by the Humboldt bay lifesaving station, but all were futile. One trip the lifeboat barely escaped destruction on the rocks on the north jetty. DAKOTA ON ROCKS. Big Hill Liner Strikes in Bay of Tokio and May be Lost. Yokohoma, March 5. — The Great Northern steamship Dakota went ashore in the bay of Tokio last night. All passengers are safe and the agents of the vessel are hopeful of saving her. The Dakota struck on a rock off Shirihama, a village between Mojima and Sunosaki, shortly after 6 o'clock. It is thought that the Sunosaki light was mistaken for the Jogashima light. The vessel sustained much damage and sprung a heavy leak. Agents of the steamship, who were sent to Oimaru to arrange for the salvage, are returning this afternoon with passengers and mails and details of the accident The steamer Dakota is making water freely and it is feared that the floating will be difficult. Seattle Striving for It. Washington, March 5.—Seattle is making a hard fight to secure the government pure food laboratory soon to be established in the Northwest by the Agricultural department. Senator Piles has been appealed to by the chamber of commerce and is exerting his efforts in behalf of his homecity. Meanwhile Senator Bourne, supported by the Portland chamber of commerce, is insisting that the laboratory be located in Portland. It is probable the contest will not be closed for some little time. On Sands in Dover Strait. London, March 5.—The Red Star line steamer Vaderland, Captain Ehoff, which sailed from Antwerp on Saturday for New York, is ashore on Goodwin sands. TOPICS OF THE TIMES Says a woman: "I care not who does the thinking so long as I am permitted to do the talking." Lincoln Steffens is looking for a model city. It is a pleasure to refer him to the New Jerusalem. Is married love an illusion? Not so long as the grocer and the butcher understand that everybody is prosperous. King Leopold thinks he is a much abused man. He ought to be thankful that there is no international whipping-post. Sir Thomas Lipton speaks in high praise of the American hotels. This may be accepted as a sure sign that he is coming back. A New York man who lived on 35 cents a day left a fortune of $200,000. His heirs will doubtless agree that he is better off dead. The man who cut off his right hand because it offended him, it is needless to say, was a Bible reader who accepted all statements literally. A Cincinnati church congregation has decided to pay the pastor's wife a monthly salary. Hereafter there ought to be no buttons missing from his clothes. One of the dramatists threatens to write a play around the fuel famine in the Northwest. It is a safe guess that the villain will have a beard and be bald-headed. Even the heroine who by waving her red petticoat saved the fast express from destruction has had to give up her pass. Thus do the sins of the unjust fall upon the just. The Chinese, it is said, make it a point of honor to pay all their debts on the first day of January. That's the day we begin inventing new excuses for not paying ours. A French professor says he is following up claws that will reveal to him the mystery of the creation of plant life. He followed up a strong scent when he chased down the onion. "Don't cheer, boys," plaintively exclaims the New York World, "poor 'thru' is dying!" Still, let us not mourn. It was too feeble and deformed to have withstood the buffetings of this rude world. Some statistician has found that burglars stole from the various banks in this country during the past year a total of $4,127. He, of course, refers only to the thieves who broke in from the outside to do their stealing. Although said to be "richer than Rockefeller," Mr. Weyerhauser seems tq be permitted to pursue the even tenor of his way, principally because he refrans from lecturing his fellowmen on how to be happy though struggling for a living. "Veterans of industry." A pretty phrase and prettily employed. It is what the Danes call the old people of good record who are forced to apply to the authorities for help. No shame attaches to such application; no ignoble dependence, corrosive of self-respect, attends the life which follows. Such a person enters the home as a sort of government pensioner. Dreadful stories are told about the Czar Nicholas suffering nervous prostration, but there is not a syllable of well-authenticated evidence that the numerous assassinations of the Russian terrorists have ameliorated in any way the condition of the Russian people. The only effect seems to be the adoption of sterner and still sterner repressive measures. Assassination is something that people seem to get habituated to so that they do not mind it. In the library of the Navy Department is a vast quantity of valuable documents waiting for the man who shall write the history of the American navy. Here are many unpublished letters of officers and secretaries and all manner of technical information about the growth of the battleship and the development of naval ordinance. Captain Mahan, the greatest authority in the world on naval history, has said that he is too old to begin the work. Perhaps it will not be begun, perhaps all that material will lie untouched, until some one of our young readers is grown up and competent to do justice to the subject. Never in the history of education was there such a frenzy among educators to add courses of study in the public schools as to-day. That has had the natural effect of physical and mental injury to childhood which it is now the desire to overcome. Educators have found that little bodies and little brains succumb to the strain the theorists have put upon them and the public school gymnasium is the result. Children instinctively resort to the kind of physical exercise best suited to them if they are allowed to play cut in the open air. This is the very best bodily training they can have. If the modern educators would not require so much home study of the children the latter would not need physical culture during school hours. But this appears to be entirely overlooked in presentday systems. Tragically appropriate as the climax to a year of appalling railroad mortality was the catastrophe of Dec. 30, 1906, wherein more than fifty passengers were killed. The explanation was the usual one, with which the travelling public is expected to be meekly content. The night was foggy and there was a mistake in the signals. Hence the collision. The much praised block system lends itself too readily to mistaken signals, with their grim sequel of lives sacrificed. Safeguards that do not safeguard are coming to be a pretty costly and gruesome farce. "Operating efficiency" is a braggart word with the American railroad magnate, and it is true that, as factories for concentrated profits, our railroad systems have reached a wonderful perfection, equaled only by their achievements as a universal juggernaut, says Ridgway's. With grain rotting on the ground in the Northwest for lack of shipping facilities, with half a dozen States freezing for coal while cars for the carrying of that commodity are tangled in extricate confusion, with high railroad officials bawling out explanations that explain nothing, and excuses that a schoolboy could excel for inventiveness, with the slaughter of helpless passengers going on day after day, the present methods of operation as devised and controlled by the "master minds" of railroading are matter, not for glorification, but for mourning and repentance. Didn't it sound as though the father were speaking through the son? To an eager Sunday school class in Cleveland John D. Rockefeller, Jr. said: "You should thank God that you have to struggle along for your daily bread and thus avoid the temptations and responsibilities that the possession of wealth creates or produces." If the young and wise Mr. Rockefeller thinks poverty is such a blessing why, in the name of all the saints at once, doesn't he try to get rid of the more than just proportion of the world's money which he possesses? If wealth is such a curse why is he training himself to add to the inordinately large holdings of his family? The trouble with young Mr. Rockefeller is that he is trying to ape his father and with long drawn face and sanctimonious deprecation deride the possession of wealth while bending all his energies to add to his golden store. How does the young Mr. Rockefeller know it is more blessed to be poor than rich? If he imagines the squawal of the garret is preferable to the luxury of a mansion why doesn't he try it for a while? If he can find more joy in gnawing tough flank steak than porterhouse smothered with mushrooms, why doesn't he order flank steak from his butcher? Of all the mushy talk about the sorrows of riches and the joys of poverty the Rockefellers deal out the mushlest. Poverty is not a crime and it's a long ways from being a blessing. We are all—that is, if we are worth the powder to blow us up with—striving to escape from its gaint clutches and lay up a competence for old age and for our children. We are striving to earn a little more and save a little more to-day than we did yesterday. We want our children to be better dressed than we were in our boyhood days. And up and down this sad old earth there isn't a normal man or woman who would not gladly forsake the Rockefeller theory of Joy in poverty for the temptations and responsibilities that the possession of great wealth produces. The Touch of Nature. There is a cleanliness which is too clean, and is then bareness. This is recognized by the artist-philosophers in Japan whose alm is to make the home life sweet and beautiful. Artistic manners in Japan began with the etiquette of tea-drinking, round which has developed a domestic ritual. Its expert devotees are called tea-masters. Some of the tea-masters have been very great artists and the founders of schools of painting. One of these was Riklu. A story, told of him in the little "Book of Tea," written by a Japanese author, Okakura-Kakuzo, illustrates the tea-masters' idea of cleanliness. Riklu was watching his son Shoan as he swept and watered the garden path. "Not clean enough," said Riklu, when Shoan had finished his task, and bade him try again. After a weary hour the son turned to Riklu. "Father, there is nothing more to be done. The steps have been washed for the third time, the stone lanterns and the trees are well sprinkled with water, moss and lichens are shining with a fresh verdure; not a twig, not a leaf have I left on the ground." "Boy," chided the tea-master, "that is not the way a garden path should be swept." Saying this, Riklu stepped into the garden, shook a tree and scattered over the garden gold and crimson leaves, scraps of the brocade of autumn. What Riklu demanded was not cleanliness alone, but the beautiful and the natural also. **Cash Better than Time.** "Have you a few moments to spare?" "Young man," said the capitalist, severely, "my time is worth $100 an hour, but I'll give you ten minutes." "If it's all the same to you," thoughtfully replied the visitor, "I believe I would rather take it in cash."—Philadelphia Ledger. The good die young—especially good resolutions. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON WIT OF THE YOUNGSTERS. Teacher—Johnny, what is the future tense of "He drinks?" Johnny (promptly)—He's drunk. Teacher—Willie, can you tell me why the multiplication table stops at 12? Willie—I guess it's because 13 at a table is unlucky. Teacher—Now, Johnny, you may give me the definition of "exercise." Johnny—Exercise is work what a fellow likes to do because it isn't work. "They say that I have cut a tooth," Said the babe with mournful glee; "But if they'd only tell the truth, They'd say the tooth cut me." Teacher—Why, Freddie, this excuse doesn't look like your father's writing. Freddie—Well, the next one will look more like it, I guess. He says my penmanship is improving. Small Tommy after being severely chastised by his mother for disobeying her ran to his father and said between sobs: "Papa, how d-did you c-come to m-marry such a w-woman as m-mamma is?" Mamma! If you had two pennies, Willie, and I was to give you three more, how much would you have? Willie- Make it dollars, mamma. What's the use of being stingy with make-believe money? A little fellow, age 4, accompanied his father to Lincoln Park one day, where he saw a diminutive monkey with whose playful antics he was greatly pleased. "What did you see, dear?" asked his mother upon his return home. "A funny little boy with a tail," replied the small observer. "What's the matter, pet?" asked a mother of her 3-year-old daughter, who was crying. "S-somfin' dweafal b-happened," sobbed the little one.

It is said that a manufacturing jeweler in New York has invented a device for setting gems in boot leather; that diamond-set dancing pumps will soon be the rage; that diamond-toed boots will eventually be so common as not to attract attention in Broadway or in 5th avenue. Here is merely a return to ancient luxury. The "campagus," the most ordinary footgear of the Roman emperors, was often enriched with pearls and diamonds. Roman women had shoes with soles of solid gold, shoes that sparkled with precious stones. Heliogabalus, who never wore a pair of boots twice, insisted on exquisite cameos as decorations, but he forbade women to wear gens attached to their shoes. High priests were coquettish also in this manner. Alcibiades invented a boot that became the fashion, but we believe it was remless. Let us go through the centuries. Charlemagne wore shoes adorned with gems and richly ornamented foot coverings were worn by the nobility of Europe, both by lords and noble dames in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. In the time of Charles I. of England the extravagance was shoe strings edged with gold. Louis XIV. wore at his wedding boots adorned with fleurs de lis and decorations of gold, but how did they fit him? For the shoemaker, Lestage, disdained to take the royal measure. Toward the close of the eighteenth century in England shoe buckles dazzled with jewels. A millionaire is now a person whose income is a million. A capital of a million is nothing.

To Be Realled. One of the suburbs of Chicago is the site of a well-known school of theology, from which go out each week-end many members of the senior class to try their voices as "supplies." A passenger on a Monday morning train was surprised at the number of them who got off at the station. "What are all those chaps getting off here?" he asked the brakeman. "Them?" asked the brakeman. "Oh, they're returned empties, for the college." Histrionic. There was on the stage a realistic scene in which a surgical operation was apparently performed. "Hold on!" cried a voice from the audience. "Aren't you going to give us some of that chloroform?" Of course the management was displeased, but there is a point at which realism palls.-Philadelphia Ledger. Hereditary. "He isn't, but he is a chronic kicker." —Houston Post.

One Year, payable in advance.....$ 2.00 TRANSFER TRANSFER TRANSFER 20 Our Candidate for President JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER Of Ohio Things look better for Oregon and for Portland than ever before, even remembering that they have been "looking up" for several years more and more, and notwithstanding the creation of a railroad commission calculated to do considerable harm. For one thing, congress just before it adjourned passed a very liberal river and harbor bill, so far as appropriation for Oregon and particularly the Columbia river are concerned. The Oregon projects have been very well taken care of, and it is especially gratifying that the jetty work at the mouth of the river has been put on the continuing contract basis, thus assuring steady work or it till it is completed. The Oraegon legislature did one good job, providing congress at the next session will join with the state and make the rest of the appropriation necessary in appropriating $300,000 for free locks at Oregon City. If Mr. Hawley can induce congress to bear the rest of the cost, he will have done a very fine piece of work, not only for the Willamette valley above Oregon City but also for Portland although this city is not in his district; but nothing much can be expected of the representative from this district. He probably will summon up energy enough to vote if somebody will tell him when. The legislature failed to do an important duty, although it involved quite an appropriation, in defeating the combination of the Portage railroad to The Dalles and was properly lectured the other evening by Mr. Wittenberg. It I not the cost of a thing that is objectionable providing it is worth the cost, and almost anything that will aid cheap and prompt transportation is worth all it will cost. Activity in railroad building is another thing to rejoice at, and that surely indicates great development and growth in the near future. Work has begun on the United Railways line, which will be a big help to Portland and the country it passes through, and there will be other similar lines built up the valley within the next five years, greatly increasing population, production and wealth. Another thing portending much good for Portland is the settlement of the dispute between the Harriman and Hill lines as to terminal grounds and rights of way in this city and in Seattle. There will be a great common terminal ground back of the present yard, and these great systems will quit fighting each other and work in amity for their own interests and incidentally and necessarily for those of Portland also. The railroads are also doing a splendid service in making such low tourist or homeseekers' rates for two months and the result will be that thousands of people will come to this state who might not have come otherwise. Literature distributed by railroads in the east has also been of great value, and the means of turning thousands toward Oregon. Capital is flowing into Oregon and especially into Portland at a far greater rate than ever before, and it is now generally realized that this is going to be a great city and that within the course of a comparatively few years. This confident belief will be a large factor in making it such. So that fast as Portland has grown during the past few years it is destined to grow even faster in the next few years. It will reach 200,000 during next year, and then it will not take very long to climb 300,000, and it won't stop at that. VOTE THE BONDS. The bonds proposed to be voted on next June for boulevards and park grounds should be authorized and doubtless will be by a large majority. The bonded debt of the city is comparatively small, considering that Portland is a very rapidly growing city and the water bonds will be paid by the water income, so that a new issue of a million or even two million bonds will not be any appreciable handicap on the city, and the money thus secured can be made to do the city several million dollars worth of good. The proposed park ground and system of boulevards will be a most excellent investment. They will add immensely to Portland's attractions, and make it celebrated throughout the whole land as the finest scenic city in it. They will bring tourists in great numbers annually and home-seekers of wealth as well. Already many fine homes have been built here by people from abroad, and when these improvements are made the number of such homes will multiply rapidly. With the city well improved in all respects, and beautified and its natural attractions made the most of, and with its delightful climate during a large part of the year, it will become the mecca of thousands both of temporary and permanent sojourners, and most of them people with plenty of money to spend and invest. What is two million dollars when Portland's assessible property this year will be probably about $200,000,000. Only one per cent and this valuation will double in the next six or eight years, if not sooner. Get the park grounds now; they can never be bought so cheaply again. Lay out a comprehensive system of boulevards and begin improving them and do the work thoroughly, regardless of cost. It will pay big. The harbor must be enlarged and deepened; this is important. The river front may be bought, and owned by the city for public wharves and docks; this might be a good investment. Hundreds of miles of streets must be improved, and kept clean and attractive; this will cost a good deal of money. But all these things will pay, and none of them better than the parks and boulevards. Portland has the opportunity to make itself the finest city, taking everything into consideration in the country. It will take a good deal of money, quite a good many millions, before the jobs are ended—and they never will be ended—but what of that if within 20 years Portland can be a city of 500,000 inhabitants, the veritable New York of the Pacific Coast? And it can be. But to be so it must improve these opportunities. A FINE OPPORTUNITY. Mr. Lafe Pence, the enterprising developer, has made a suggestion of great value to the county and city, that should be taken advantage of if possible, along with a vote of thanks to Mr. Pence for his public spirited offer, or proposition, which is thus stated in the Journal: A macadamized, rolled boulevard, 80 feet wide and approximately five miles long, following the contour of the hills north of Portland to Linnon, on elevations varying from 450 to 200 feet, is an immediate possibility. It is within the power of the county of Multnomah, which would generally profit in a large way from such development to start the contemplated boulevard system which it is proposed to center in Portland. "If the county will take the necessary steps promptly, while our company is working out the plans between Willamette heights and Linnton, such a boulevard can be constructed at a cost approximately one fifth of the normal cost of such an improvement," said Lafe Pence, president of the Pence company. "It so happens that our enterprise fits in with the boulevard proposition at this time, and we would be able to do a lot of work that would cost the public comparatively a bagatelle." "But if the public part of the project were held back a year or two by the necessity of voting bonds and THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON performing various slow and laborious circumlocutions, we could not hold back our work to keep pace with it. The chance is here now, and if the people will embrace it we will do what we can to help." WIT OF THE YOUNGSTER Teacher—Johnny, what is the "The project to make a manufacturing district at the exposition grounds, where buildings have been purchased, would have been much further along by this time had it not been for one obstacle—the absence of cheap home sites for employees," said Mr. Pense. "We have had three large concerns ready to remove their plants from the east and bring their employees to Portland could we have furnished them cheap homes for the employees without sending them five miles to East Portland suburbs. "This obstacle to our undertaking has been overcome by the proposal to open the district between Willamette heights and Linnton. We shall continue the Linnton road line from the fair grounds to Linnton, then loop back along the hillside and open one of the most beautiful suburban resident districts to be found anywhere in the world. The line will be built at once. Men of means have agreed to come in and finance it and the bonds are already practically sold. "The idea that came into my mind was simply this: That it would be a pity for Portland and Multnomah county to miss this chance to get in on the ground floor with a boulevard at a time when the cost of such an improvement would be a bagatelle compared with what it would cost later on." The governor gained nothing in public esteem and respect by berating Speaker Davey, who has as good a right to his opinions and his way of performing his public duties, as the governor has. It doesn't make much difference whether the Initiative One Hundred's or Dozen's bill is on the ballot or not; it will be beaten by four to one or more if it is, because it is unreasonable. At last the Street Railway Company has raised the wages of its platform men, for fear of a strike that would win, but they are not overpaid yet, if competent. Mayor Lane is not getting much encouragement to run again from people who have good judgment and are honest enough to tell him the truth. The people of the state generally as well as his many personal friends hope for Secretary of State Benson's speedy return to health. Now is the time for Portland to start a very important improvement by voting for the park and boulevard bonds. Teacher—Johnny, what is the future tense of "He drinks?" Johnny (promptly)—He's drunk. Teacher—Wille, can you tell me why the multiplication table stops at 12? Willie—I guess it's because 13 at a table is unlucky. Teacher—Now, Johnny, you may give me the definition of "exercise." Johnny—Exercise is work what a fellow likes to do because it isn't work. "They say that I have cut a tooth," Said the babe with mournful glee; "But if they'd only tell the truth, They'd say the tooth cut me." Teacher—Why, Freddie, this excuse doesn't look like your father's writing. Freddie—Well, the next one will look more like it, I guess. He says my penmanship is improving. Small Tommy after being severely chastised by his mother for disobeying her ran to his father and said between sobs: "Papa, how d-did you c-come to m-marry such a w-woman as m-mamma is?" Mamma—If you had two pennies, Willie, and I was to give you three more, how much would you have? Willie—Make it dollars, mamma. What's the use of being stingy with make-believe money? A little fellow, age 4, accompanied his father to Lincoln Park one day, where he saw a diminutive monkey with whose playful antics he was greatly pleased. "What did you see, dear?" asked his mother upon his return home. "A funny little boy with a tall," replied the small observer. "What's the matter, pet?" asked a mother of her 3-year-old daughter, who was crying. "S-somfin" dweafful h-happened," sobbed the little one. "Well, what was it, darling?" queried the mother, anxiously. "My t-dolly dot away f-wom me an' b-woked a d-dish in ze p-panty," she sobbed. JEWELS IN BOOT LEATHER.

President's Proclamation Bonanza for 7 Waverhacuser Qyndientas Seattle, Wash., March 6.—In the belief that to create more forest _re- serves in the state of Washington would be to prevent timber on the public do- main from falling into the hands of the timber and lumber barons of the coun- ‘try, President Roosevelt signed a pro- clamation adding 4,291,000 acres of timber land to the reserves already ere- ated in the state. By so doing, how- ‘ever, the president gave to the Weyer ‘haeuser Timber company and to othe | rich corporations absolutely undisputed jsovereignty over some of the richest and most valuable lands in the state. That the president was uninformed | whon he made what is undoubtedly on of bis most remarkable orders is showr by the fact that he has placed in th hands of the timber barons a Powe they never dreamed of having. | ‘The Weyerhaeuser and other big tim ber land owning corporations eithe {now have the ownership of all the land \surrounding the reserves just created jor will soon have them. ‘Under suc!

CAPTAIN FOLEY At an age when most men are content to sit in the easy chair and watch the youngsters, James P. Foley, 65 years old, captain of the police force of Logansport, Ind., will ride horseback to San Francisco on a $500 wager that he can complete the trip in ninety days. This will not be the first time that Capt. Foley has ridden over the Western country. He has fought Indians in the Black Hills and was in Utah during the exciting times when the Mormons sought to exclude the Gentiles. He has ridden over the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona, climbed the Colorado mountain peaks and knows every mile of the great Panhandle range in Western Texas. The rugged life of his younger days has left the captain a strong constitution. He is straight as an arrow, agile as a panther, and there are few fleeter runners in Indiana. Prisoners who fall into his clutches and show fight, invariably get the worst of it. He keeps in training all the time. Each morning, winter or summer, no matter how severe the weather, he takes a gallop into the country, astirde his wiry Indian mustang. Capt. Foley has figured that he will be able to make forty-five miles a day through Indiana, Illinois and Nebraska. Through the mountains he is only counting on averaging from ten to fifteen miles. Science AND Invention At the International Conference on Scientific Aeronautics, held recently in Milan, Mons. Telserenc de Bort presented some interesting results of the expedition to the equatorial regions of the Atlantic organized by himself and Lawrence Rotch. Contrary to expectation, he said, they had found far lower temperatures in the upper air above the equator than at corresponding elevations in temperate latitudes. At the equator the temperature goes on decreasing up to the greatest elevations attained by kites and balloons. At the height of eight to eight and one-half miles temperatures were recorded as low as minus 80 degrees Centigrade, or 112 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. The Heroult electric process for the production of steel is now in practical operation at Remscheid Haston in Germany, and it is reported that the steel produced is much superior in many ways to that made by older methods. Steel of great purity and homogeneous quality is made from ordinary scrappron rubbish, melted, and then subjected to the action of an electric oven, in which the necessary carbon, manganese, nickel and other substances required to produce steel of various qualities are added to the liquid metal. The oven has a capacity of from one and one-half to two tons, and is beated by a current of 100 volts. The new steel is said to be stronger and more resistant to wear and tear than the old-fashioned crucible steel. The Petit Parisien states that M. Boudy, a French engineer, has made a sensational discovery in the direction of aerial navigation. The inventor calls his discovery an aerial torpedo boat, and it is proposed to make use of it in warfare. M. Boudy claims that with the aid of the new machine he will be able to remain for several days in the air and to rise to such a height that shelter will be afforded from projectiles. It will be possible, he declares, to rise or descend at the will of the aeronaut, to travel against the wind, to navigate perfectly, and, in addition, to carry shells or grenades for use in war time. The minister of war is giving his attention to the claims of M. Boudy, and experiments will shortly be made in connection with the invention. Examination of a photograph of the spectrum of the brilliant star Arcturus, made by Professor Hale and Mr. Adams at the Carnegie Solar Observatory on Mount Wilson, California, shows a very striking correspondence between many of the spectral lines in the light of that star and those observed in spots on the sun. The conclusion seems to be unavoidable, says Mr. Adams, that the physical conditions existing in sunspots and in the atmosphere of Arcturus are nearly identical. A similar study of the spectrum of the bright star Betelgeuse, or Alpha Orionis, shows that sun-spot lines are also present there, but even more intense than in Arcturus. It is inferred that Arcturus is probably cooler than the sun, and Betelgeuse cooler than Arc-turus. An explanation of a curious optical phenomenon sometimes witnessed on frosty nights, which is called the "pseudo-aurora," is offered by an official of the weather bureau. The phenomenon takes the form of beautiful columns of silvery light standing over electric are lamps and other bright lights and sometimes appearing almost to reach the zenith. It is said that sometimes the evening star has a bright shaft below as well as above, while the rising moon stands in a broad column of light. These appearances are due to floating frost crystals, which keep their reflecting faces horizontal. On examination it has been found that the crystals concerned in the exhibition were thin, six-sided plates of ice, never more than one millimeter in diameter. When the wind blows these little plates were upset, and the columns of light caused by the reflection from their surfaces disappear. Good Enough for Louis The officials of the Privy Chamber, it appears, showed plainly that it annoyed them to be obliged to eat at the same table with Molliere; so Louis, hearing of their rudeness, said to the actor during the petit-lever: "I hear you are badly entertained, M. de Molliere, and that my people don't find you good enough to eat with them. Perhaps you are hungry. Sit down here and try my en cas de nuit" (a provision made in the evening in case the royal appetite should suddenly require satisfaction during the night). Then, cutting a chicken and ordering Molliere to be seated, the King helped him to a wing, took one himself, and gave orders that the most favored personages of the court be admitted. "You see, I am making Molliere eat something," said Louis, "for my valets de chambre don't find him good enough company for them."—H. Chaffield-Taylor's Molliere. Baffled but Determined While Mr. Graham calmly and deliberately opened the morning paper and ran his eye over the head-lines, his wife looked volumes of reproach and impatience. "Can't you tell me about that fire yesterday, before you read everything else in the paper?" she asked, at last. "Certainly, my dear, certainly," said Mr. Graham, when she had repeated her question. "Er—here it is: "At 4:30 yesterday afternoon the great boiler at Stafford's burst. The scene which followed baffled all description." "Is that all it says?" demanded Mrs. Graham, as her husband's eye seemed inclined to wander over the page. "No," said Mr. Graham; "there are three full columns of description on this page, and it says 'continued on page sl.'" "I never knew a woman who wasn't bound to have the last word with you." "Unless it was in a street car and you were to say, 'Take my seat, madam.'" —Philadelphia Ledger.

Proying a Proverb. "A stitch in time saves nine," said mother, leaning over Molly and showing her the tiny rip had begun in the pocket of her plaid dress. "It is just a little place now, and you know how to backstitch it just as well as I, and so I am going to leave that for you to do. That is the dress you will wear to the fair." Molly sighed. "I will do it by and by," she promised herself. She did not intend to leave it for her mother. She knew with three brothers there were a great many stitches to take. Six little head-covers, all in a row. Some for use are, some for show, A cap for school, and a cap for play, And a hat to wear on the Sabbath day. A cap for winter, a cap for ball. All hanging on pegs in the upstairs h. But the cap I love—I'm a sleepy head. Is the little white night-cap over the b. But bedtime came very soon, and the mending was not done. The afternoon of the fair came, and Molly flitted about like a happy sparrow. Her father gave her a bright fifty-cent piece. The admission was only ten cents, and she would have money for ice cream. and they would bend upward. They were called "snake heads," and when one was approached the train would be stopped, and it was the duty of a baggage-master to nail the track down again. The speed never exceeded two miles an hour, which was considered very fast running. The engineer w Her friend Ethel called early, and they joined other girls near the hall, and as they went up to buy the tickets Molly reached in her pocket. She felt about nervously. "Why, I surely took my money, didn't I?" she cried; but Ethel could give her little hope when, turning up her friend's dress, she saw one pink finger sticking through the hole in the pocket. "Oh, I forgot to mend my pocket!" she cried, in dismay. "And now there isn't time to go back—and I'd be ashamed to ask papa again. Whaf shall I do?" What she did do was to sit down on a bench and hide her face in her little red jacket, for she was not a very big girl, and the tears would come. Just then her teacher came along, and seeing the trouble, sald, "Never mind, Molly, I will take you along, and you can tell papa all about it when you get home." Molly did not like this way very much, but there seemed to be no other way; but the afternoon had grown suddenly out of tune. She was still disappointed, although Ethel generously shared her ice cream money. The day which had begun so well seemed to go upside down, and Molly was glad when the time came to go home. She had thought of a great many things—of how her mother mended and worked for herself and the boys, and how seldom she had been asked to help in any way. She determined to do the right thing always after this. When she came home her father and mother were eager to hear about the fair, but Molly passed them with her head hung down, and went directly to her room, and found needle and thread and sewed the rip in her pocket. Then she came down to show her mother. Her father laughed, but mother put her arms round Molly. "It was too bad, little girl; it spoiled your day, and I hope you will learn by this lesson. But you did not lose the money out of the hole; you left it at home on the mantel. Nevertheless I still think 'A stitch in time saves nine,' don't you?' —Youth's Companion. About Adverbs. Perhaps the editor may give the boys and girls a better understanding of the nature of adverbs than they now have by saying that they are always convenient forms of abbreviation, enabling us to use a word where otherwise a phrase would be necessary. Thus we O is for observation keen : About Adverbs. say "here" instead of "in this place"; "then" for "at that time"; "thus" for "in that manner." A great many adverbs are formed by adding to adjectives the termination "ly," which means "like," but the principle of abbreviation still holds good; as in the case of "foolishly," for "in a foolish manner"; "hastily," for "in a hasty manner"; and "wisely" for "like a wise man." A Celebrated Hymn. Few people know that the hymn "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," one of the best known in the English language, was written in a few minutes. Dr. Shipley, Dean of St. Asaph and Vicar of Wrexham, on Whitsunday of the year 1819, preached a sermon on the propagation of the Gospel. On the Saturday preceding the delivery of the sermon, the doctor asked Heber, who was his son-in-law, and then on a visit to him, to write something "for them to sing in the morning." Heber sat down, and, without leaving the room, wrote the hymn that is now famous all over the world. He was then in his thirty-sixth year, and was rector of Hodnet. Goldbeater's Skin. The skin used by goldheaters is made from the large intestine of the ox. It undergoes a number of processes to free the outer membrane from grease and other impurities, and is then cut into pieces about four inches square. So great is its tenacity and power of resistance, that it will stand the continuous blows of a twelve-pound hammer for many months. Old-Time Railroading. Railroading to-day is not what it used to be, says an old engineer, who ran over the Indianapolis, Madison and La Fayette Road, in Indiana, the first line built in that State. The rails of that day were of wood, with an iron sheet spiked over the surface. The jar of a train would loosen these coverings A cap for winter, a cap for ball, All hanging on pegs in the upstairs hall. But the cap I love—I'm a sleepy head— Is the little white night-cap over the bed. and they would bend upward. They were called "snake heads," and when one was approached the train would be stopped, and it was the duty of the baggage-master to nail the track down again. The speed never exceeded twelve miles an hour, which was considered very fast running. The engineer was the aristocrat of the system and never condescended to perform so menial a task as to nail down a "snake head." When a stop was made he employed all his time in wiping the mud off his engine, which, with such a track, was always kept covered with dirt in bad weather, and in oiling parts. "In that day," says Mr. Hughes, "the engineer who would have thought of running his engine backward would have been discharged at once. It was believed that the way to ruin an engine was to run backward. People thought they were making a fine speed at twelve miles an hour, and everything exceeding that would have been perilous in the extreme. One can appreciate the changes time has wrought when he fancies a vestibule express stopping to allow a baggage-master to go ahead and spike down the track. A Smart Dog. There is an old lady in Rochester, N. Y., says the Herald of that city, who lives with a family which keeps a big dog of which she is at the same time very fond and somewhat afraid. The house contains an armchair, which both lady and dog particularly like to occupy. When the dog gets to it first, the old lady, fearing to order him out lest he bite her, tries subterfuge. She opens the window, puts her head out, and exclaims "Cats!" in a loud voice. The dog at once leaps to the window to see, and the old lady gets the chair. One evening, however, the dog came in and found the old lady in the chair ahead of him. He wandered round unneasily for a time, cying her and the window. At last he seemed to come to a determination, for he suddenly rushed to the window, his hair all bristling on his back, and began to bark and growl frightfully. If ever a dog cried "Burglar!" he did so then. The old lady, much surprised, rushed to see what was worrying him. She saw nothing—until she turned round. Then she saw the smart dog peacefully enthroned in the contested chair. The old lady is not sure, but she is almost convinced that he closed one eye solemnly at her in a veritable wink. Two had played at the same game. The trouble with having a fair opinion of yourself is that you are liable to make yourself despised by being self-satisfied.

Combs, of Midway, Ky., to congratulate him on the receipt of a Carnegie medal. As his friends were taking leave Mr. Combs wished them all a merry Christmas. "And I hope," he ended, "that you'll have a more bountiful dinner than fell to the lot of a young friend of mine last year. "He, the poor chap, was stopping at a cheap New York boarding house, and on Christmas day, after he had eaten a turkey neck, a potato and a splinter of sodden mince pie, the landlady said to him, as he rose just as the weak coffee was brought on: "Oh, don't leave thme table, Mr. Smith." "I must, madam,' said Smith, grimly. 'It's hard wood, and my teeth are not what they used to be.'" His Constancy: A story is told of General Sir Alfred Horsford, who believed in a cellate army. A soldier once sought his permission to marry, saying he had two good conduct badges and $25 in the savings bank. "Well, go away," said Sir Alfred, "and if you come back this day year in the same mind you shall marry. I'll keep the vacancy." On the anniversary the soldier repeated his request. "But do you really, after a year, want to marry?" "Yes, sir, very much." "Sergeant major, take his name down. Yes, you may marry. I never believed there was so much constancy in man or woman. Right face, Quick march!" As the man left the room, turning his head, he said: "Tank you, sir. It isn't the same woman." How Colors Affect Mentality: There are good and evil effects even in color, not only in the inartistic arrangement of them to the trained eye of an artist, but in plain every-day red and blue and green, to say nothing of others. According to Medical Talk for the Home, if a person were confined in a room with purple walls, with no color but purple around him, by the end of a month he would be a raving madman. Scarlet has even worse effects. Blue is very depressing; hence "the blues." Green is quite soothing, and yellow also has good effects on the vision and spirits of most people. The Soft Answer. "I have already said 'No' to yon, Mr. Vere," said Miss Bute. "I don't seem to be able to make myself plain, although I have tried—" "Ah, Miss Bute," interrupted Percy Vere, "you couldn't do that, no matter how you try." "Well—er—of course, I shall always be glad to have you call upon me, Mr. Vere."—Philadelphia Press. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON GOOD Short Stories Oliver Herford, who is equally famous as a poet, illustrator and brilliant wilt, was entertaining four magazine editors at luncheon when the bell rang, and a maid entered with the mail. "Ah," said an editor, "an epistle." "No," said Mr. Herford, tearing open the envelope—"not an epistle, a collect." Walking about his estate Mr. Dives halted a laborer who was digging a drain, and solemnly inquired if he were ready to die. The man admitted that he hadn't thought of passing away just yet. "But every time I breathe, a man dies," solemnly remarked the millionaire in tones of terrible warning. "Gee!" cried the unmoved laborer, "why don't you chew a few cloves?" "If I go on trial," said the prisoner, "do I have to sit here and hear all the hypothetical questions asked by the lawyers?" "Certainly," said the judge. "And hear all the handwriting experts?" "Of course." "And follow the reasoning of the chemistry and insanity experts?" "Very probably," said the judge. "Well, then, judge, I will enter my plea." "What is it?" asked the judge. "Gullity!" M. Deverne was,waiting at a station in Ireland for his train. Two Irishmen entered and engaged in the following conversation: "Sure, Pat, it's down to Killary I've been, on me way back now to Kill-Patrick." "Arrah, musha, Mike, it's meself that's just after coming from being down, to Kill-Kenny, stopped a bit before I go down to Kill-Moore." "I say, Pat, let us take the day and go down to Kill-Maule." "Ye gods," exclaimed the Frenchman, "what assassins. Would that I were back in France." A yellow-haired descendant of the Vikings walked into the office of a prominent attorney the other day and said: "Ay want you to make some papers out. Ay buy a farm in Powell Valley, and ay tank ay want a mortgage." "Why do you want a mortgage." exclaimed the lawyer, "If you bought the farm? Don't you want a deed?" "No, ay tank not. Sax years ago ay buy a farm and getta deed and neder fellar come along with a mortgage and tak da farm. Ay tank ay tak a mortgage." Henry Arthur Jones, the noted English playwright, was giving the students of Yale an address on the drama. "Y-ur American vernacular is picturesque," he said, "and it should help your playwrights to build strong, racy plays. But neither vernacular nor anything else is of moment if perseverance is lacking. No playwright can succeed who is like a man I know. I said to this man, one New Year's Day: 'Do you keep a diary, Philip?' 'Yes,' he answered. "I've kept one for the first two weeks in January for the last seven years." A record-breaker in absent-mindedness is certainly a Paris citizen, who appeared the other day before a magistrate to ask for a marriage license. He answered correctly and without hesitation all the questions as to his name, age and occupation, but when asked for the name of his finance he became embarrassed, and finally replied dejectedly that he had entirely forgotten to ask her for it. This, remarks a Boulevard paper, recalls the distraction of the famous fable poet, La Fontaine. Meeting one day in a salon a young man, he was so favorably impressed by his conversation that he expressed his admiration for him in the most flattering terms. "But he is your own son!" exclaimed a guest, in astonishment. "Is it so?" replied the poet; "then I am the more delighted to make his acquaintance." A Queer Play in Baseball. Here is a play in baseball that happened long ago. Perhaps it never will happen again. Did any one ever hear of a base runner scoring from first base on a line drive that was caught by a third baseman and when the ball never left the third baseman's hand? The play happened in this way: Andy Moynihan was playing third base for the Pastimes of Chicago in 1808 when a tournament was held. The Occidentals of Peoria were the opposing team. In the first inning, with a runner on first, the batter drove a liner straight over third. Moynihan shoved up his hand, the ball struck it and stuck fast in the hand. The crowd cheered. An instant later they saw something was wrong. Moynihan, writhing with pain, was running around third base. The base runner at first saw something was the matter and ran down to second. Then he ran to third and finally trotted home unmolested. The trouble was that the ball, striking Moynihan's hand, paralyzed the nerves. The ball was stuck tight in his hand. It was five minutes before his fellow players could pry his fingers open and get the ball out.—Chicago Tribune. Stout Fighters. The kind of men who don't know when they're whipped are very much like postage stamps." "In what respect?" "They stick the better for a licking." —Baltimore American.

Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century and are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-cured. A Pretty Experiment. A very pretty effect may be produced by using some aniline dye in powdered form in alcohol. Fill a small glass with the alcohol and drop the smallest portion of the dye on its surface. It will shoot down through the liquid, like a strand of color, dividing into two branches, which will subdivide again and again until you have, apparently, an inverted plant in miniature growing before your eyes. An arrangement of mirrors may be made to throw the reflection of this on a screen or a wall, and the enlarged shadows will be very interesting to watch. **Shoes, $8.45 to $15.00.
