TANGTER Morocco Jan. Il, 18o2.-The
present revolt Of the tribes, in Morocco,
though doubtless overestimatei in import
ance, renders a tour Of adventure to the In
terror by any white man from TanGier an
impossible performance. 1t also brings
sbarply to mind many recent prophecies,
from highest European diplomatic sources.
of the early disln'eErotion of this the last
barbaric sultanate Of ancient Mauritania.
AtI.ast four great European powers are
concerned in the acquisition Of all Northern
Africa. For years Italy has had her itching
fingers in the affairs of Tupol whose trade
with the African equatorial kingdoms Is
enormous.
In any event the four powers are eagerly
alert Tor the possibilities IN all new moves
in Northern Africa; and Morocco, the last
remaining empire Of barbarism Of ancient
Mauritania, is doomed. The glitter and
eHnk OF 100000 chasseYot rifles girdle 1t on

they maIveled at this man who could thus
play on the strings of the heart till it felt as

again laughter broke forth, and so on till

All! no; the memory Of it fingers yet in
many minds like the fragrance of a beauti-

passed from the mOrt.1 to the immortal

as an inspiration for all who desire to be the
friend of the orphan. the champion of right,
the fearless defender of the truth, and a
power for good in the world.

Sometimes too much publicity leads to
disastrous results. About a week ago a
former Detroiter, who has been in clover
down East, returned here for brief visit.
He was attired IN tiptop suit and had a
big roll of greenbacks which looked mex
haustible. Some one kindly inserted per-
sOnal in the papers: "Mr. So-and-So has
returned" The next day tailor called,
and it took 500 to square old accounts.
Ten minutes later florist dropped in upon
the young man and got S25; a photOg-
rapher secured SO, a boot and shoe mer-
chant $40. an old friend got back a
loan OF S25. the grocer SIS, a former
landlord $50. jeweer SO, and the process
sion was still coming. They emerged from
every corner with big, long bills, and finally
the young man desperately skipped ont of
the back door and jumped over the fence.
He made his way to the ne wsDaper Office.
For heavens sake" lie exclaimed. 'cOn-
tradict the report about my being in town.
Say ! am gOne-say L never was here-say l
am sick-say l am dead-say anything if it
will only stop that procession of creditors.
I'm broke; I'm ruined, and still they come.

streets OF my native town."

Quiring frame of mind. The collectors
themselves give no information on this
point nor will they disclose how many eggs
are gathered in the course of the year. Pre-
sumably the pastry cook dispOSes OF most
of the product, though why the eggs should
not be cooked au naturel for the table is
only eXplainable on the ground of preju-
dice, the quality and flavor being much the
same as In the eggs Of the domestic duck.
Some mercy Is shown to the birds toward
the end Of the notification season. The
second or third egg laid is spared, and thus
the various species are in no danger of eX-
tinctlon, for IT cannot be supposed that more
than a small proportion of even the first
crop of eggs Is Appropriated The clouds Of
birds that darken the cliffs when any un-
usual noise induces them to take wing defy
any attempts at conjecture as 10 numbers,
and 1t Is curious that the long soldier-like
rows OF guillemots and kittywakes on the
lodges are apparently unthinned when one
of these timOrOus fights takes place.

ropes of premier quality, such as would be
used in hauling material to the top
of high buildings. Next in Importance
is q heavy iron staple, which is driven
into the ground and used as an att ,chment
for one of the ropes Hand over hand
would be impossible when a descent has to
be made to the bottom. Only one man goes
down at a time; the others of the squad sit
on the edge of the cliff and haul their conf
rade up or lower him. just as lie indicates
by signal. Each takes his turn in the egg
gathering. One rope Is fastened to a sling,
IN which the man who deScendS seats HIM
self; the other rope he holds in his hand,
right or left. as occasion requires, and lie
elingS to it as II 1t were a sheet anchor. A
couple of bags well stuffed with the long
grass which grows on the headlands
are slung over his shoulders erOsswise, and
sometimes he is equipped with a long crook
the lodges for the eggs of the putin, it being
a popularity Of that bird to ensconce itself
IN cavities. Just as lie disappears over the
brow. he drives long iron spike with iron
wheel on the head into the ground, and over
this the lowering rope runs smoothly and
is paid out as required by the men above
The sheet anchor rope is uncoled and run
out go as to be always 30 or 100 feet beneath
the actual position OF the searcher. The
slightest pull on the rope is we'll understood
by those above, and they lower away or
haul in as desired.
Once launched on his dizzy errand the
egg-gatherer swings from side to side like
pendulum, taking care by vigorous balanc-
ing motions of his arms and legs to keep his
face toward the cliff. Sometimes ne pushes
himself off by thrust of the feet, and may
be seen vibrating and swaving too and fro
thirty feet off the face of the browning
steep. Occasionally as he reaches into the

he sits giving him every freedom for his

and ready hand miss nothing on the
way down, and his ascent, in the
early part of the season at least,
is only made when lie has well-nigh filled
the shoulder bags with blue or white deeply
blotched eggs. Accidents are unheard of

Major Pangborn's Discovery Respecting the
baltimore s. Ohio.


Baltimore Sun.
To Baltimore, says Major j. G. Pangborn,
belongs the distinct ton of having first con-
ceIved the railroad AS the term Is under
stood to-day, and to this city is due the
honor of building the pioneer road of the
world. Major PangbOrn has been delvlnR
into history for months, and has been
looking up on both sides of the Allan.
tic the facts bearing on the railroad. Tho
result. he says. IS mass of proof showing
that not until tue meeting at ME- George
Browns house, in Baltimore, Feb. IL, 1877,
had there been contem alton of a rail-
road save as q means OF increasing the out
put or mines or quarries by facilitating
transportation to waterways. In other
words, all lines up TO the organization of
tho Baltimore a. Ohio company were tram
ways built by coal or quarry companies.
he Stockton ~ Darlington, the En-
glish line that was opened in 1875. was
coal road. whose whole equipment consist
freight was transported, but not by the
company. Others ran Wagons over the
road hen not interfering with coal traffic.
As late as 1853, says the Major, three years
following the opening of the Baltimore &
Ohio line. seven contractors had running
privileges over the Stockton 81 Darlington
for passenger carriages. 1t was not rail-
road In the real sense, as public servant.
as W as the Baltimore * Ohio from it's in
ception, as the public only had access TO 1T
when the company was not disconnected
thereby. Later it became a railroad.
The Liverpool d Manchester was in
reality the first European railroad, bnt it
was opened to the public May - 1890 six
months after the opening of the Baltimore
IL Ohio. The first shovelful of earth
turned In the construction of a railroad in
this country was on July 4, 1928. when the
corner stone of the Baltimore a. Ohio was
laid. The first tram was the LeipeI road.
In Pennsylvania, in 1909. 1t was $50 feet
long and was Tor mining. Later, a similar
one, q mile long, was constructed in Della.
ware county, Pennsylvania. 20 carry stone
to Rid way creek. A three-mile tram, for car
rying stone exclusively was built In Massa-
chusetts In 1927. They have all passed
away. The only one of the pioneer roads of
the world retaining its Original! name, and
which has ever maintained a regular sue
cession of management, is the baltimore &

A Big Snake Vanqu,shed by q Bird.

NlsaIln Ilmes
Walter Fewell witnessed q novel fight
yesterday afternoon between gopher
snake and q klngbird. The contest was
fought 10 finish IN the road near the cream
ery The snake was q large one and oapa-
BILE of swallowing his feaJhered opponent
with ease, but the bird was too active for
him and came ont winner. The bird would
hover over the snake but n foot or two
above its head. and would strike it on the
head from time to time, the snake all the
while trying TO seize the bird, but was I'M
able 70 do SO on account of its rapid move
ments. After some twenty minutes his
snakesbip gave M tho fight in disgust and
hurried away to avoid the thrusts of his
tOrmentOr.
