YEGG'S LIFE STORY "Liverpool Jack," Safeblower, Relates Experiences. Once Tried to Blow Police Headquarters Safe to Get Revenge—Proves Self Guilty to Save Friend. —New York—He had once tried to blow open the safe at Muberry street police headquarters in the '80s, as revenge for an unjust conviction got by one of Inspector Byrnes' men; how he had cleverly fooled a country justice of the peace after being caught on a safe-breaking job, by feigning to be drunk; and how he had later proved his own guilt, to save another man from the crime, was told recently at the new Center street headquarters by James Murphy, safe-breaker, arrested for carrying burglar's tools. It was Murphy, known as "live-pool Jack," who, with Red Leary and Johnny and Jimmy Hope, blew open the saft of the Manhattan bank, at Broadway and Bleecker street, in the early '70s. Murphy, now well past 70 years, has been implicated in many of the big safe-blowings of two generations. Released from the penitentiary on Blackwell's island only the other morning he was seized on a bench warrant issued by Judge Rosalysk, charging him with carrying burglar's tools, at the time of former arrest for carrying a revolver. The old safe-blowed to Inspector McCaffery of the robbery of the Manhattan bank, and said after his release from Sing Sing he went to Kansas City for five years. "While I was away from the city," he went on, "a safe was blown. When I got back to New York in 1880 one of Byrnes' men nabbed me and railroaded me to prison, for this crime, Taken Before a Justice of the Peace. of which I knew nothing. That was the one great act of injustice done me in all my career, and even the grave won't bring forgetfulness of that nasty piece of work. "After I did that five years in Sing Sing for another man's crime I wanted to get square with Byrnes. I and another set out to blow open the safe in police headquarters. It was then in a little office off the big hall. We were at work on it when we heard footsteps, and if we hadn't been frightened off then we would have blown that cheesebox to bits. In 1885 he went to Gloversville and robbed a safe there. He was arrested outside of the bank, while feigning intoxication, and actually had the loot on him. The policemen did not search him, but took him before a justice of the peace. "He was drunk outside the bank just robbed, your honor," said the policeman," continued Murphy. "What's your business? asked the justice. "I'm—hic—a bricklay—hic—er; hod carrier—hic—anything." "How much money have you?" "Three—bicicle-dollars, judge." "Well, you are fired $3, so you can't get drunk for a few days more." "But, inspector," continued Murphy, "the laugh was on me. Peggy Donovan was arrested for this crime I had committed, and railroaded to prison. When I learned of it I gave myself up and confessed to the crime. I had a hard time proving I had done the job. I had to subpoena the justice of the peace and the policeman from Gloerville. They bore out my story as far as they could. I was convicted, Peggy was freed and the three years and three months I did for that crime were some of the happiest years of my life." How he got the name of "Liverpool Jack" was developed as follows: "You remember, inspector, what you said to me a year ago, when I was nabbed with the gun and tools? You said: "Murphy, you are old. Do you spend the remainder of your life in Ship Island or in the convicts' home kept by the salvation army out on Long Island?" I told you I wasn't a hypocrite, and it was their freedom to go and as I please or Singer, I am James Murphy, alias Common, alias Liverpool Jack, and a few other fanciful names; professional criminal—safe blower." HOW ROOSEVELT PAID MEN Gave Black Bearers Feat of Fried Hippopotamus Fat to Settle Their Bill. Washington. — Hippopotamus fat, fried and juicy, was the medium of payment used by Colonel Roosevelt to reimburse his black bearers in one part of Africa, according to Major Mearns and J. Alden Loring, the representatives of the Smithsonian institution who went to Africa with former President Roosevelt. Major Mearns was the surgeon of the expedition and J. Alden Loring the scientist. "The most interesting sight to me of the whole expedition," said Major Mearns, "was the skinning at night of a hippopotamus, which was killed by the party in the Swahili country. The flickering torchlight, Doctor Heller, the tadistermil, flying around and over and back and forth about the huge carcass, the shiny black skins of the Swahili—it was the greatest camp to be cleaned up. There were 20 of them. Of course, Colonel Roosevelt was always economical in the finances of the expedition. It was necessary. So these natives were not paid in money. Instead Colonel Roosevelt graciously entertained the whole Swahili village with a feast of the roasted fat of the hippopotamus. The Swahili do laugh. It was a great occasion. Pet of the hippopotamus to the Baltimore. It was a most distinguished feast, and we left them profoundly grateful and even abased because they had not done more in exchange for the treat." Major Mearns, asked about own experiences, said he felt proud of the record he had made. "I walked on foot more than 2,000 miles more, I believe, than was on foot by any other member of the army. I did not duty, all but two hours, but I had one little touch of fever. My services as surgeon were called for by every white man on the expedition for periods more or less long." GOVERNORSHIP FOR HAVENS Democrat Who Scored Victory in New York Congressional Race May Get Further Honor. Rochester, N. Y.—James S. Havens, the Democrat who has been elected to congress in the Thirty-second New York district (Monroe county) by a plurality of about 6,500 over George W. Aldridge, the Republican boss of the county, already has been mentioned as a candidate for governor of the empire state. Mr. Havens is a prominent lawyer and an oldline Democrat. For five years he was the partner of the late James Breck Perkins, whose seat he will fill in the James S. Havens. house of representatives, and who was last elected by a plurality of 10,167 votes over his Democratic opponent. Mr. Havens took the stump for Grover Cleveland in both national campaigns, but has had little to do with politics since Mr. Bryan became the Democratic leader. He would support neither Bryan for president nor Hearst for governor. In the recent campaign, however, he was supported by Hearst and the Bryan lieutenants in the district. Life would be more livable if more of us felt it a duty to be pleasant howeer things might go. THE APPEAL. PRIMITIVE METHOD OF BOILING THE CHICLE GUM N EARLY three billion pieces of chewing gum are manufactured in the United States annually, practically all of which is made from one product of tropical America. This clearly accounts for the $150,000 in coles annually exported by our sister republics, and brings to light the workings of a most gigantic industry. In the fifteenth century chicle was known to the intrepid Spanish explorers, who reported that the Indians employed the gum to quench thirst and relieve exhaustion; but the universal use of the gum can not be said to have begun until as late as 1876. Since that time the demand for this almost mysterious commercial commodity has increased to such an extent that importing firms have been obliged to search for markets and plot the growing of the trees in order to obtain a supply sufficient to meet existing requirements. Prior to 1888 chicle sold from- from 7 to 8 cents per pound; in 1896 it sold for 36 cents per pound; and now it is selling for $2 per pound. The tree, Achras Sapota, from which the chicle is obtained, is indigenous to northern South American countries, Central America, and in the Mexican states of Yucatan, Campeche, Chiapas, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Puebla, Talaeo, San Luis Potosi, and the territories of Tepec and Quintana Roo. As yet the systematic cultivation of the Achras Sapota has not been carried on to any great extent, but experiments have shown that trees planted at a distance of 10 feet apart, or 400 to the acre, will yield from 5 to 6 pounds of chicle gum when from 8 to 10 years old and from 12 to 15 inches in diameter. In its wild state the tree is usually found in groups, frequently growing to a height of from 40 to 50 feet; it is straight, and has a long, clear length, thus making it most desirable for timber. While it grows well in a variety of soils, it seems to thrive best in a rich clay loam, with good drainage and an annual rainfall of about 90 inches. Lands well adapted to the growing of the tree vary in price from $3 to $15 gold, per acre, and are being largely dealt in at the present time. The wood is of a reddish color, closely resembling mahogany, is quite hard, heavy, compact in texture, and fine grained. Prehistoric door frames and rafters of sapota wood are found among the Mexican ruins, and are still in an excellent state of preservation. This wood is today greatly in demand by cabinetmakers, who employ it in the manufacture of high-grade furniture and household fittings. For many years the sapodilla pear, which also comes from the Achras sapota tree, was a popular variety of fruit found in the markets throughout Latin America; but now, on account of the great demand for cichle gum and the attractive rewards it has gathered, the fruit is seldom dealt in by the native. The operation of gathering chicle and preparing it for the market is similar to that employed in the maple sugar industry in the United States. Throughout the rainy season, and while the sap is up, the tapping is done by the chicle gatherer or "chilceros," as they are called. Their outfit is most simple, and consists in nothing more than a piece of rope and a machete. By means of this rope, which is fastened out the walst and slipped around the tree, the chilcero is enabled to hold any desired position and wield the machete in cutting the incisions or gullies. Great care must be exercised in tapping not to cut too deeply, as excessive bleeding of the sap will cause the rapid decay of the tree. It is possible for a chilcero to gather, properly, from 10 to 15 pounds of the sap per day, for which he is paid, in most cases, a contract price of from 10 to 15 cents per pound; but on many of the large amounts an effort is now being made to effect payments to the labor by the day, week or month, and in this way the sap can be stored in trees frequently caused by a greedy desire for the part of the chilcero, when under contract, to obtain as much sap as possible without regard to the injuries sustained by the trees. In granting concessions to gather chicle in the national forest reservations, the Latin-American governments demand that natives shall be properly instructed in the gathering and preparation of bromicous tapping will not be longer tolerated. In some instances trees have been tapped for 25 years, where care has been taken, although after that time they produced but from one-half to two pounds of sap. However, if allowed to re-tap for a period of five or six years, they will be able to produce gum. Authorities differ in regard to the average height of the evapo, and the length of time CHICHE TREE IN TROPICAL FOREST scattered around ought to be used in all States, where can be witnessed the interesting processes by which chewing gum is manufactured. The factories are sanitary in every particular, and methods of absolute cleanliness prevail in each department. An official report by the department of commerce and labor states that a chewing gum factory was the second cleanest plant inspected in the United States. The process of manufacture consists in simply mixing and boiling the gum, in copper kettles, to a required consistency, and adding some flavoring, as sandwiches or wintergreen, and sugar, after which it is transferred to large centrifugal receivers. Here it is whipped into a dough, and afterward removed to tables and kneaded in powdered sugar. It is then rolled into sheets, cut to desired sizes, dried, wrapped by machinery in attractive papers, and placed in boxes ready for the market, the entire process being at all times under the closest inspection. A worker will chew the chewing gum factories will convince the most skeptical that the product is nothing more nor less than a pure and wholesome article and absolutely harmless to its vast and faithful army of consumers. OCEAN MONSTERS IN BATTLE OCEAN MONSTERS IN BATTLE Early on the morning of August 14 last, while engaged in building new quarters for the light-house keeper at Breaksea island, near Rottnest, Western Australia, the contractor and his men noticed a bull whale with a cow and a calf passing the island some distance off. An hour or so later—about nine o'clock to be exact—the men were startled by an extraordinary noise, apparently coming from the eastern end of the island, a noise unlike anything they had ever heard before. Dropping their tools and starting toward the east, they beheld such a sight as it falls to the lot of few people to witness. There, not 500 yards from the shore, was being waged a battle to the death—a fight between the great cow whale previously seen and a school of thresher sharks. The sharks, as though acting in accordance with some concerted plan, had completely incurred their own injury, apparently realizing that nothing was to be feared from the calf, concentrated all their efforts upon the cow. Again and again they charged in upon her, their jaws snapping, tearing at her mighty sides until the sea was red with blood. Meanwhile the cow lashed her tail furiously, hurling up sheets of reddened water and occasionally crashing down with terrific force upon one of her voracious opponents. Presently the spellbound spectators realized two facts—first, that the calf had disappeared in the melee, and secondly that the tortured whale was undoubtedly becoming weaker. It was obvious that the unequal struggle could have only one ending. Still, however, she fought on doggedly, winning admiration and sympathy by her exhibition of hopeless courage. Altering her tactics, by a supreme effort she hurled her whole great bulk clear of the water for a moment and the fascinated onces beneath the sharks hanging from various parts of the glacier by their serrated teeth. Then down she went again with her harder and for an instant whale and sharks were buried amid masses of foam, heavily colored with the poor mammal's life blood. Rising again, she essayed another change of plan, making for the rocks and desperately striving to rub off the clinging sharks against their edges. But the threshers were equal to the occasion; while those on the outside maintained their grip, the others dived under their enemy and charged her anew, tearing at the whale's side in an ectasy of ferocity that was bloodcurdling to witness. More and more feeble grew the whale's struggles and at last—to the heartfelt relief of the spectators, for her death fight had been terrible to behold—the great body turned over and sank beneath the red-tinted water. The unequal struggle required, for its maturity; but a general average height can be placed at from 25 to 40 feet, and maturity is reached at from 40 to 50 years. A tree 25 years old, and producing from 20 to 25 pounds of chicle each year, will measure 25 to 30 feet in height, and 22 inches in diameter. In tapping the trees a V-shaped incision is cut spirally all around the tree, the arms of the cut extending upward, in order to permit the sap to be placed at the end of the stem. The sap has the appearance of milk as it flows from the tree but it afterward takes on a yellowish color, and thickens until it is about the consistency of treacle. After gathering the sap it is carried to the boiling sheds, and by a rather primitive boiling process is brought to the proper consistency. As the operation continues, it is necessary to knead the mass from time to time, in order to extract the water. The gum, if properly handled, will take on a light gray color, although there is considerable variation in the shades and colors of the products received from the different districts. In the case of thick deception was practised by the chleores, who used the weight, would insert stones, bark, sand, and the boiling chicle, before it was formed into loaves. This clever deception is a thing of the past, however, as the contracts today call for a pure straight article, and there is little opportunity of adding any foreign substances. Much of the chicle is shipped in rough, uneven leaves to the United States via Canada, where it is refined and dried out to one-half of its original weight, thereby saving 50 per cent. of the duty. Under the Wilson bill the gum was admitted free; in accordance with the tariff-revision act of 1897 a duty of 10 cents per pound was fixed, with a representate rate. For the finish of June 30, 1909, there were imported into the United States 5,450,195 pounds of chicle; valued at $1,987,112, as compared with 929,959 pounds, valued at $156,402 in 1885. Repeated attempts have been made to mix, adulterate, or substitute chicle in every conceivable manner, but nature insists that the gum shall only be used to furnish unlimited molar action, and that it can not be artificially prepared by chemical or mechanical means. No medicinal use has yet been discovered for chicle; but in the manufacture of chewing gum various digestives, such as pepsin, have been added and the product pronounced by eminent medical authorities as pure, free from any injurious substances, and beneficial to the various forms of dyspepsia and indigestion. In the case of the word, chewing gum is an indestructible residue that user having the advantage of both the finest formulation and a medicament as well. Its distribution extends in the Western hemisphere from Hudson bay to the Argentine Republic; in the east from London to Hongkong; and in the inhabitants of the THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans 5-It is no other organ than any ring or oile. 6-It asks no support but the people. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Australian and South African colonies are large and ever- increasing consumers. It is estimated by a prominent manufacturer that sufficient chewing gum is produced each year and every human being on earth with two sticks, and that the daily energy expended in the consumption of this popular masticatory is equal to that necessary to light a city of 250,000 inhabitants for the same period.

New York—"Thirty cents is all I ever spend for luncheon. It's enough for any man on a salary." This was not the declaration of a bank clerk, salesman or office man. It came from the lips of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., head of the most prestigious trust, albeit a benevolent organization, the world has ever known—the Rockefeller Foundation. The head of the $500,000,000 charity trust opened his heart before his departure for a season to Boston, where his arrival as eagerly awed by North Carolina youth. Mr. Rockefeller added to his confession regarding the cost of luncheon a few more epigrams of his own making, among them the following: "I am more than a Baptist; I am a Christian." "Modern methods should be employed, even at the expense of the few." "The chief thing in life is to do something—to work." "The growth of a big business is merely the survival of the fittest." "Do the little everyday duties of life without a murmur. Do them well. That success." "The most successful business men can be, should be and are the most successful Christian men." "The man or corporation who has not determined at the outset to do good to others while doing good to himself will fall in the end." The young man who will be at the head of the huge Rockefeller Foundation is not much given to gaiety, and is regarded by people who have met him as serious minded as his father. He is very retiring. Although the son JOHN D. ROCKFELLER JR. of the man reputed to be the richest man in the world, he is known chiefly to the public as the teacher of a Bible class at the Fifth avenue Baptist church. Here are some of Mr. Rockefeller's success don'ts. Don't sit back and wait for the door to open. Don't apoll friendship by trying to borrow money. Don't be ashamed to do any work. Don't be afraid to make a lowly be ginning. Don't marry a woman simply be cause she is pretty. Don't marry a woman who is not in sympathy with your ideas. Don't drink. The man who never drinks is not asked. Don't go around to see the sights merely to gather strength to resist evil. Don't drink. Don't imagine you will have the strength of will to know when to turn back. Don't shrink from criticism. Don't be a quitter. Don't be afraid to assert yourself. You must let men know that you are not afraid to do things. Don't be discontented with life because you are not rich. Don't worship the almighty dollar. Don't envy those who are rich. Don't arrive for wealth. It is character, not money, influence or power which makes a man. Don't go around wearing a sour face. Don't be a hypocrite. Hypocrisy is the meanest of characteristics. Don't be a human sponge. Don't live above your income. The man who lives within his means will have little to be afraid of. Don't question the motives of those who, having sinned, are trying to show by their actions that they have turned over a new leaf.

Bnoyed up by a few local successes, our Democratic brethren are full of hopes of carrying the country in the next presidential election; but it may be well to caution them not to be oversanguine. One swallow does’ not make a summer. There are some obstacles in the way of their attaining that suecess which it may be well to note. One is the anarchtistic spirit in regard to the results of the war, which character- izes the party and its evident inten- tion to neutralize those results to the greatest possible extent. ‘The recent disfranchising move- ment in Maryland was as much an act of rebellious deflance of the Nation as the firing on Fort Sumter.

HITCHOCK SAVES $10,000,000. Deficit in Postoffice Department Will Be Ten Millions Less Than. Last Year “_ —Surplus in Another Year Is Mr. Hitchcock's Hopes. Hon. Frank H. Hitchcock, ‘the postmaster general, makes the prediction that the complete returns of the first year of the présent administration of Jhis denartment will show that the postal deficit has decreased by more than. $10,000,000. In the preceding year this deficit was $17,1080,000. Mr, Ilitehcock's prediction is based on the auditor's returns of postal receipts and expenditures for the first hhalf of the current fiscal year and on preliminary returns for the third quarter. ‘This great reduction is due tc the reduction of expenses under Mr. Hitehoocy ; * S Another obstacle to the rehabilita- tion of the Democratic party is the no: teriety of some of its Southern mas: ters: and prominent sensible Demo- crat: ave fully aware'of the fact. For Instance, the Washington Herald re- marks: If Mississippi rejects Mr, Perey in favor of Mr. Vardaman in the forth- coming primary, just to that extent will the nation be placed on notice that the Democracy is not yet through consorting with mountebanks, near statesmen and demagogues. New, Mr. Perey is not what he onght to be from the Afro-American viewpoint, but the fact that he was elected in ploce of the great blathers kite of Mississippt shows that even down in that dark place of the earth the people who sit in darkness are secing a glimmer of light. . THE “BLACK MAMMY” MONU- MENT. ‘The proposal of certain Southerners to erect a monument to the “Black Manny” dozs not meet the approval of THE APPEAL. ‘The “Black Mammy” is a person o! the past and her place has been taken by thousands of educated, cultured and refined Afro-Americans of today. ‘The South wishes to remind the race of its former servile condition and to perpetuate for all time the knowledge of stich condition. ‘This is to be done under pretense of love for the “Black Mammy” of slavery days. If the South was really sincere in its love for the ‘Black Mammy” it would not hate ier noble sons and charming daughters among the Afro: Americans of today and would not en- act unjust, unchristian, inhuman laws to humiliate and degrade them and deprive them of their rights as citi zens. The $1,000,000 it is proposéa to waste on a monument could be used to more advantage to the race In some other way. SEPARATE Y. M. C. A’S. ‘There may be some excuse for the separate Young Men's Christian As- sociation ia the South, where the line between the races is distinetly drawn, but in the North there is no justifica- tion for their existence. The Afro-Americans who are urging the establishment of separate Y. M. C, Avs are making a grave mistake. They should consider the question from every angle before using. their influence in favor of a movement which will be farveaching in its ef: fects and may come back sometime in the shape of discriminating and re. pressive laws and finally in the with- drawal of all civil and political rights from the race, There are in the United States a few individuals who have proved themselves "to be true Christians, but the alleged Caucasian Christian Shureh sa this country justified slay- ery and has never taken a decided stand for the rights of men. The Y. M,C. A, people in many Northern communities are endeavor: ing to seggregate the Afro-American, thus proving that fa one respect the Association is not a Christian organ- ization. If Afro-Americans think that ain or- ganization similar to the Y. Mo C. A. is needed in any particular commu ‘nity, they should form one and call it by some other name. Under no cir: cumstances should they have any con: nection with the Ceatral Y, M. C. A, which as 2 rule in cities where there are colored branches, admits to the central organization members from all branches except the colored branch, To become a branch of an organiza- tion which discriminates is to admit inferiority. ‘That Afro-Americans should be- come parties to the segregaticn plan is inconceivable, yet many are doing so. THE APPEAL believes that these members of the race, who are in many instances, intelligent people, are misguided and after they have carefully ‘considered the matter and see the «perils the plan entails will about face and refuse to segregate thethselves. Better call a halt now. Unless seg- regation is stopped it will coatinue to grow and it is not impossible that within ten years the jimerow car will roll into Chicago.

Mr. Editor: While in a reminiscent mood recently, I was reminded that THE APPEAL was started in the year 1883 and there pass the 25th milestone of its existence this year. What a number of interesting events have taken place during these twenty-five years, what wonderful advancements have been made by the Atro-American citizens of the Twin Cities in all lines of life! And as I was one of its early promoters and know much of its history, I believe it is no small thing for a newspaper to live for a quarter of a century under the circumstances which have surrounded THE APPEAL, and a scene to me that some event would be eminently fit and well, and I also believe that the citizens of the Twin Cities whom you have served so faithfully and well would gladly join in making the event one long to be remembered. My idea is that a souvenir edition of THE APPEALB be published containing a chronological history of the events that have transpired during its existence, cuts and sketches of prominent men and women, cuts of the beautiful homes that so many have become the happy possessors of and numerous other matters of interest that would make such an edition a most valuable one for us all. Then as a grand finale a public testimonial celebration in some large hall on the anniversary day, of THE APPEALS' bith or such other day that in your judgment is more suitable, in which all may take a part in making the event one of the largest ever held here. I would suggest, if the idea meets your approval, that you select a number of necessors to act as a committee to carry out such plans as I have advanced or as you may deem most advisable.

Among the recent outputs of the National Baptist Publishing Board in the way of Sunday, school helps is the National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary. This book lign its 7th volume and is published annually by this concern, being edited by R. H. Bovd, D. D. LLLD, Secretary. National Baptist Publishing Board with Rev. W. S. Ellington, B. A. D. D., Associate Editor. The book for 1910 embraces the usual far-seeing helps for the Sunday school workers. Both editor and associate editor have made it what cannot be claimed for other commentaries, strictly orthodox and purely baptistic. The splendid feature is that each lesson has both the authorized and revised texts. It is suggestive, illustrative and fully comprehensive. The commentary contains the lessons and motto texts for 1911, which really puts the book twelve months in advance. All of the work done on this periodical is by Afro-Americans who are now past masters in their professions. THE COSMOPOLITAN MUTUAL CASUALTY CO.

That a Negro gave Moses the principles of the Mosaic law, and by the marriage of his daughter to the world's greatest law-giver, proved the intimate relations and highstanding of the Negro in the affairs of the Bible is given historical proof according to a work just published by the Bible Publishing Company, of Moravian Falls, N. C., and written by Dr. Arthur T. Abernethy. Dr. Abernethy, who is the author of a three volume history of New York, and several other historical works of international recognition was, during the life of King Leopold, a personal friend of the King and is the author of a book on the Tree State, dealing with his extensive knowledge of the conditions of the colored races in important parts of the world. The importance of historical work just issued by the Dixie Publishing Co., is increased by the fact that it is written by a white man who is famous on both sides of the water and who deals with the subject without fear or favor. Dr. Abernethy is one of the one hundred American authors elected by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and by birth a Southern man. The book, which is entitled: "The Jew a Kneel," proves by Jewish historians and copious quotations from the Old and New Testament, that the Negroes occupied the highest positions in Bible times, and the directdescendants of Moses, Abraham, Solomon, and the other patriarchs, declares that these great Bible characters were colored men, and seasons it out with the historical daring and evidence which ought to make every ambitious colored person want to read the book. This book is printed on the best book paper, bound in cloth and can be procured from the above mentioned publisher by mail for 50 cents. GREAT CANADIAN GLACIER Formation of Ice Archway an Annual Phenomenon. Eight thousand and four feet of ice high is the Yoho glacier of Canada. Since the first discovery of this largest of Canada's glaciers it has maintained a grand archway of ice at its lower extremity. The span of this arch is no less than 250 feet, and its height is estimated at 70 feet, while from beneath the arch the drainage escapes. The formation of the arch seems to be an annual phenomenon. Toward the close of the summer it becomes weakened by melting, and the whole structure collapses. The ice gradually is broken up and finally removed, and the formation of a new archway is commenced. From the archway issues the Yoho river. It is calculated that an avalanche must have occurred in 1850 or 1860. Since then the retreat of the glacier has been at the average rate of five or six feet a year. From August, 1901, to August, 1904, it was found that the retreat had been 111 feet, or 37 feet a year. Between August, 1894, and August, 1905, the glacier receded but nine feet, and is now thought to be checked. About the nose of the glacier there is evidence of a bodily disruption of the rock strata, to which the term "plucking" is applied. Rock layers are ripped off where the layers are thin bedded and pointed, and the fragments are pressed into the ice to assist in further work. The Yoho glacier is an almost if not entirely isolated example of a glacier as a great engine of erosion. Other glaciers move forward and are engines of transportation. No More Gold Lace for Afghans. The ameer has published an edict, which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lungis and embroidered shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance, which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and although the ameer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubtless be received by his subjects with rather mixed feelings. Ex-Gov William S, Taylor of Kentucky is a lucky man. After having been indicted for participation in the murder of Gov. Goebel he fed to Indiana. The chief executive of the Hoosier state was a Republican, and when Gov. Beckham made a requisition for Taylor it was refused. Now there is to be inaugurated a Democratic governor of Indiana, and if there should come a request from Kentucky for Taylor it would be granted. But no such request is to be made. Kentucky has a Republican governor and he is willing that Taylor remain where he is. No longer are we having brutal war to lick us into shape. All the rude brutality of the peasant hordes of Europe, still the primitive type of man, is here to be handled—brutality which war and the sword have kept subdued into a sort of fierce gentleness for 2,000 years; now this Pandora's box of latent savagery, which has been fearfully held down by iron imperialism, is turned loose to hell and havoc, if not tamed and disciplined by education and gentling thought. By peasant blood I mean you and me, for after all is said there is no drop of straight nobility or gentry blood in this land—New York Press. It is said that aviation is not considered orthodox among Mussulmans. M. de Caters has given his impressions to a Paris contemporary of his visit to Constantinople. He says the Turks and Arabs greatly amused him. "The Koran says that only God is able to exalt himself above men, so one can imagine how awestricken Turks were when they saw me in my aeoplane above their capital. They looked upon me as a demigod. As to the biplane, most of the Turks did not dare approach it. Those who did made their salaams to it." ```markdown ``` A Lucky Fugitive. Holding Down Brutality Aviation and Islam.

WOMEN'S DEBT TO ANCESTORS Tragic Figures Were the Militant Members of the Sex in the '40's and '50's. It was this attitude of the mass of women, unsympathetic and often contemptuous as it was, toward the early agitators for woman's rights, that made the position of the militant woman hardest in the '40's and '50's. She was then, and always has been, a tragic figure, this woman in front of the woman's movement—driven by a great unrest, sacrificing old ideals to attain new, losing herself in a frantic and frequently blind struggle, often putting back her cause by the sad illustration she was of the price that must be paid to attain a result. It was, and is, common to speak slightly of her, but it is uncomprehending. Certainly no woman who to-day takes it as a matter of course that she should study what she chooses, go and come as she will, support herself questioned by trade, profession or art, work in public or private, handle her own property, share her children on equal terms with her husband, receive a respectful attention on platform or before legislature, live freely in the world, should think with anything but reverence of these splendid early disturbers of convention and peace, for they were an essential element in the achievement. There is no home in the land which has not a better chance for happiness, no child which does not come into a better heritage, no woman who is not less narrow, no man who is not less bigoted because of the impetus their struggles and sacrifices gave to the emancipation of the sex."—Ida M. Tarbell, in the American Magazine. WATER NECESSARY FOR LIFE Proof That Wine Will Not Serve the Purpose Where Frenchmen Are Concerned. The French schooner Argus, struggling against headwinds to get from Dieppe to Marselles, according to the dispatches, ran out of water and for three days the crew had nothing but champagne and claret to drink. Nearly every man was disabled by fever and acute gastritis. It was with the greatest gratitude that the captain of the Argus swapped several cases of champagne for a few barrels of water from the Oceana, a Bombay liner. Pathologists will say correctly that there is nothing new in this experience. That wine will not take the place of water and keep men in good condition, has been known as long as wine has been known. Three elements, however, in the story of the Argus make it a striking lesson, emphasizing an old truth. First, the men were Frenchmen, with the Frenchman's habit of taking wine daily; second, the wines they drank as a substitute for water were presumably pure, and the claret at least was relatively light; third, the three days is a very short period for the disabling of a whole crew. It is mighty lucky for the human race that a water trust is conceded impracticable. The British Census In England a census is taken every seven years. In the United States the work costs some $5,000,000; in England, with a population of 42,000,000, the work is done by regular public officials without extra cost. There the census is taken on a certain day at a certain hour, usually Saturday at 11 p. m., because most people are at home. Printed circulars have been sent by the police to every family and to the owners of all lodgings and hotels. These circulars contain blanks which must be filled. The police round up passers in the streets. Sometimes a cranky Englishman who, for reasons of his own, does not want to figure in the census, tries to evade the government by riding alight in a cab. Ten chances to one he will not succeed in his purpose. Cabs are stopped as unhesitably as are street cars or pedestrians. The government wants to know. The government will not be denied. The work is done simultaneously throughout the *United Kingdom*. "Father," said little Rollo, "what is appendicitis?"
