is thought that Colombia will decide to
finish the canal herself. though there is
talk OF granting a new concession to a
British and American company.
The French have been getting ready
for the change by transferring their
rolling stock to the Panama railroad.
THIS excites indignation and is regard
ed as fraudulent, the assets of the canal
company being subject to forfeiture
when the concession expires. The con-
cession granted to the French company
is very important and valuable. Rather
than give it up, it has heen suggested
that France will send an armed force to
the isthmus and make determined ef-
fort to hold it.
1t is one hundred TO one, however,
that France will have 40 more TO do
with the Panama canal affair, and will
be glad to let the thing pass quietly in
to lnnocuous desuetude.
DON'T Grange TIE WATER BOARD
The desire Of some Of the new Coun-
cilmen TO get at the offices should not
lead that body into the grave mistake
OF changing the membership Of the
Water Board.
Such a change would be be a mistake
in probably more ways than one. The
present board, in the first place, is COM
posed OF business men Of the strictest
integrity, who have the city's interests
at heart. In the second place, they
have begun the highly important work
of carrying out plans for the construc-
tion of a new water works and the use
of the new reservoir.
The plans for this vast Improvement
are the work Of the present board and
are thoroughly understood by them,
while the work, which will undoubted-
ly be the greatest the city has ever I'M
dertaken, can better be carried on W.
der their supervision than under the
guidance of new and inexperienced men,
and is Of such a character that the city
cannot afford to have it Srifed with.
The present board is responsible for the
plans and it should be, responsible for
the work.

Enplish and American Poor.

One marked difference between the
very poor in the English cities and the
corresponding class in American towns
is that the latter buy their clothing OF
tailors and manufacturers, and, there
fore, get it new, while the English poor,
and particularly the English women OF
low estate, prefer the cast-off finery OF
"the quality that is sold at the second
hand shops. The result is that the
American laborer and his wife make
better appearance in their cheap, but
simple and suitable, garments than the
London navy or hawker with shiny,
ill-ftting broadcloth and his wife In
garish hat with broken feathers, and
questionable, not to say bedraggled,
skirts.

The Removal of an African Royal House
hold from One Town to Another
The correspondent of an Indian jour
nal describes the manner in which Lal-
luoya, the Lushai chief who hasrecently
been an ally to the English, moved his
residence from one village to another
recently. The procession moved out IN
Indian file, led by the chiefs heir, a
bow of twelve years of age, wearing
Quaint. gray, tall hat, the symbol OF
his fathers rank, and loin-cloth. In
one hand he carried bottle OF the
liquor of the country, and with the
other led yellow dog. Next came
i.maid of honor, bearing huge basket
of household goods and chattels and
smoking the everlasting pipe OF peace
the while" She was followed by the
prime minister leading the chiefs pig,
to whom succeeded the chiefs wife,
clad in divided skirt OF kukl blue
cloth, and wearing the royal amber
necklace. The chief himself came next.
He wore a red helmet, two flannel
shirts. an evening dress coat and waist
coat-the latter being arranged outside
the coat-and garment OF Lushal
cloth. The trousers belonging to the
dress suit were gracefully thrown over
the left shoulder; a pair OF gray socks,
rlnlaced ammunition boots, and hagon
of liquor completed the chiefs travelling
costume. Last of all came gentle
man in waiting" who carried the royal
bedding in q bundle.

Every one who is interested in pho
tographs Of outdoor scenes--and who is
not?-must often have wished for some
satisfactory means of obtaining larger
pictures of distant, unattainable objects
than can be got with an ordinary cam
era. The writer of this remembers with
keen regret that the lack of such an
instrument or device prevented him
from obtaining some most desirable pic
lures during visit to the Yellowstone
Park.
For instance, many mud swallows
build their nests under the projecting
lodges of the Liberty Cap" at the
Mammoth hot springs, and sitting in
the open doors of their habita lions they
gaze down upon the spectator beneath
with the indifference of conscious Sc
curity. With camera that combined
the powers of telescope and aphoto-
graphic plate most pleasing picture OF
these birds, showing them apparently
close at hand, could have been made.
Such cameras have been devised, but
it is only quite recently that they have
assumed fairly satisfactory form.
The desired result is brought about by
means of peculiarly-constructed lens,
consisting of positive lens in front and
a negative lens of much shorter focal
length in the rear. This gives an image
several times as large as that obtained
with an ordinary camera.
With such an instrument photographs
of birds and other animals which can
not be approached closely can be made,
showing them in their natural attitudes
and of sufficient size to exhibit their
characteristic features. 1t is also sug-
gested that this method of telephotog-
raphy will prove useful in astronomy.

7supp,No WOLVES IN FRANCE.
Ruses of the People to Extort Rewards
from the Government.

Ruses of the People to Extort Rewards
from the Government.
Among other contrivances there is
one that outwits the sagacity of the
wolf with as little hardship as such
canture admits Within circle Of
strong stakes, not very closely planted,
a sheep or goose is confined. At
distance of sixteen inches is an outer
1circle of stakes, having an entrance
e;ohteen inches wide. The path be-
tween the two circles is well beaten
down. The door of the outer one,
which folds back against the inner, is
set invitingly open.
In marches, says Blackwood's Maya
zine. the cautious wolf pursues the
nath till he comes to the back OF the
open door, pushes against the yielding
obstacle, and by SO doing closes the en-
trance against himself. The latch falls
at the impact of the door against the
doorpost, and he is hopelessly fast,
unable to touch the decoy animal of
the inner circle, or to leap over the
strongly planted poles of the outer one.
Thus ingloriously kidnapped, the VIC
tim is soon dispatched.
A complaint has been made that the
rewards which the French government
gives for the slaughter of wolves are
SO small in comparison with those paid
of old. But large rewards sometimes
do more harm than good, by making it
too much the interest of the mercenary
troops to slaughter the foe with due re-
spect to the desirabi1ity of having
always plenty of foes to slaughter. II
all the stories are true of the alarm
and damage caused by wolves, it is not
unreasonable to think that those ex-
posed to be sufferers might assist In
their extirpation without the stimulus
of fee.
Many parts Of France, it is true, are
highly favorable to the wants and hab-
it's of the wolf, but against modern
skill and modern weapons it is hard to
believe that it could hold its ground
without the connivance of sportsmen,
or if the government were earnestly
resolved to be rid of it.

Chinese Mourning.

In full mourning among the Chinese
the black strands of the queue are re-
placed by white ones and in second
mourning by light blue or green. 1t is
an objectionable breach of etiquette for
an inferior to enter the presence of a
superior with his pig-tail wound round
his neck or head, and the greatest insult
one man can offer another is to pull his
pip-tail. 1t seems very odd to see sail
Sors on ship or in barracks comoing each
others long tresses, or coolies at the
street corners performing the same
friendly Office. Custom forbids man
to wear beard and mustache until he
becomes a grandfather

EARLY USE OF PETROLEUM.
How the Oil Was Discovered by the In
dams in a Pennsylvania Spring.

HOW the Oil Was Discovered by the In
dians in a Pennsylvania Spring.
In diary kept by one of the survey
ors engaged in the survey of the Hol-
land Land company's purchase at the
very beginning of this century an entry
occurs to the effect that near the head
waters of the Allegheny river, in Penn
sylvania, was spring of water from
which, when conducted into shallow
pools, would collect quantities OF oil.
This the Indians collected and used.
For unknown generations, according TO
the American Register, the Indians had
held this spring in high generation, be-
lieving it was direct gift from the
Great Spirit
They dried the oil by exposure to the
sun, and made an ointment that they
used in mixing their war paint. as well
as for medical purposes. This omit
ment was the vaseline for the present
dav in its crude state, for the OIL
SKINNED from the spring was crude Pc
troleum. The oil spring and plot OF
ground one mile square were given TO
the Indians as reservation, and is SO
held at the present time, being known
as the Oil Spring reservation.
In after years enterprising whites
collected the oil, and twas bottled and
sold Ithad wide reputation and was
eagerly sought by many who extoled
its merits in the most extravagant
terms. Had it not been for the fact the
inouisitive whites found out a way to
rot na+rolenm from the earth by send
ing the drill through the rocks, this OH
would doubtless now be a popular med
icine worth one dollar bottle.

MAMMOTH SAUSAGES.
One That Required the Services OF Nine

One That Required the Services OF Nine
ty-Une Men to Carry 1t.
In former times it was the custom in
manv German towns to manufacture
sausages of enormous length, and carry
them on festive occasions in solemn pro
cession through the streets. On New
Years day in 1858 giant sausage l9o
ellis in length was carried in triumph
by forty-eight persons. But in the year
1888, according to German paper, 1t
took ninety-one persons to carry sau-
sage 500 ellis long and weighing 434
pounds. The chronicler of the period
saws: 'sThe butchers men were all
neatly attired in white blouses The
first man wound one end of the sausage
several times round his neck with por-
ton of it hanging down in front, the
rest followed at equal distances carry
ing the trophy on their shoulders, and
the last one had the other end wound
round his neck like the man at the head
of the procession In the year 1901 we
are told that the sausage attained q
length of 1,005 ellis, 100 of which were
presented to their serene highnesses at
the castle. All this happened at Ko-
nigsberg. In 1913 Emperor Matthias
RECALLED the princess of the house
of Austria with tournament, at which
the butchers of Vienna gave repre-
sentation of peasants wedding, and
paraded the streets with a sausage
measuring 900 ellis.

Dift,culties which Confront the Russian
Swain.

Swain.
A pretty story comes from Russia by
way Of compensation for the many ugly
stories starting there. During the last
Russian war with Turkey the soldiers
of a regiment rejoicing in the name OF
the Kekholmsky regiment found
woman lying dead with living child
in her arms. The child was adopted by
the regiment and educated at its ex-
pense. At the close of her school life
She took up her abode with her col
lective fathers.
The other day young Russian officer
demanded the hand of Marie Kekholms-
lsaya, of the regiment. A meeting was
called, the parents considered the mat
ter. and when young Lieut.. SlemmeI
gave proofs of his good character the
regimental consent to the marriage was
piyen. THE lieutenant must be brave
man to thus face whole regiment o.
fathers, when one father is usually con-
sidered rather formidable when that
particular question is to be asked.
