Fishermen in this vicinity are prepar-

salmon. The close season expires the
beginning of next month, and all indi-
cations are that the run will be phenom-
inally large. Men who have been en-
gagged in the business for years say that
the winter has been very favorable for
salmon, and that the high water in the
river during the season causes an out
flow into the ocean, which attracts the
fish in their journey southwark. Last
year Frazer river was crowded with
salmon while the Columbia Ihad very

years ago was preceded by just such a

The Color of Man.

The color of the skin in the various races of man has never yet been scien- tifcally accounted for, although numer- ous mythological stories have been told and senseless theories advanced as req sons for tho remarkable variations in hue. Nor have we any certain data concerning the color of the cuticle of the primeval man, the original lord of creation. A pretty African legend is that he was as black as the prover- bial ace of spades and that the present pale color of the Caucasian race is the result of the scare God gave Adam at the time of the fall
 It is proper to state here that the same legend says that the present black race are descendants of one of Adam sOfS that was born and left Eden before the great change m color overlook cur first parents. The Chinese believe that the original man yvas creature half god and half man. and that his color came about as a result of bathing in river of liquid gold. The Mussulmans, the American Indians and several ori- ental tribes and nations account for their prevailing red or copper color by telling the story of tho great being ere ating the first pair from red kaolin, the common fro clay of the potter shops.

A TRANscoNTlNsNTAL BOULEVARD.
Or John T. Narle's Plan For Furnishing
 EmnInyment Co NInn Onl or Work.

Or. John T. Narie's Plan For Furnishing
 Employment to Mon Out or Work.
 Dr. John T. Nagle, registrar of vital statistics, has como out with novel suggestion for furnishing work to the unemployed, He advocates the buildr ing of great transcontinental huule- yard to extend from the Atlantic to tho Pacific, in the building of which each state through which the boulevard passed should contribute it's share for tho employment of labor
 "I have had the idea in mind for some time, Dr. Nagle said "and isol sure that gigantic as would bo the tcheme it would pay in tho end, Such boulevard, laId out with a macadam- ized roadway and with ornamental trees along its walks, would certainly en- hance the yalue of property in it's i'm mediate vicinity. It would furnish driveway for the owners of fast horses all over the country, and the bicycle riders would be there by the thousands. There might beamilhon of these riders on the road at one time. The boulevard would be one of the greatest sights In Christendom. There would be inns at different points along its entire length, Mansions would be built along its route too. The construction of such a road way would give employment to hun. dreds of thousands of workmen and keep them busy for two years at least,
 II do not believe that it is a mere Utopian dream. Anybody who has been in the City of Mexico and has seen the superb boulevard leading for miles out from that city, with it's giant eu- calyptus trees and other monuments, can readily imagine what magnificent thing such a boulevard would be. En- gineers will tell you that the idea is practical and that the cost would be nothing compared to the benefit that would accrue from it's construction. New York Sun.

Some years u@o a tobacconist discoy. cred the utility of tiufoil for wrapping tobaccos. Heretofore paper had been excluswely used for the purpose, but it did not serve to keep the moisture of the atmosphere away from the tobacco nor preserve the natural moisture of the tobacco from the effects of a dry or heated atmosphere. Paper also ab- sorbea the aroma of the weed and was not sufficiently lasting. Therefore tin foil was used for wrappers. But it be- came costly and could only be rolled to a certain thickness or thinness, beyond which the ingenuity of man seemed to find 1t impossible to go. The fact was that no rollers could Do made to sustain the pressure necessary to mashing the tinfoil to leaf sufficiently thin to suit the manufacturer.
 Many ingenious inventors struggled with the proposition for months and gave up the problem as unsolvable, when a simple workman about the shop one day, after rolling two sheets to the GUS tomary thickness. put the two sheets to- gether into the rollers and made both halves as thin as they were before. This was as simple as standing an egg on end, but it created a revolution in the manu- facture of tinfoil for tobacconists' use and made a mint of money for the dis coverer. Philadelphia Press.

Word has been sent to the courts ot Europe that the shah of Persia intends to visit Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris and Vienna next spring. He will start on his journey Iii May or June and will remain in Europe several months. The rulers whom he is to honor are in an unhappy state of mind already on ac- count of the proposed visit. No living sovereign, in all probability, is moro unwelcome guest than the shah, hut his cousins in Europe are obliged to re- ceiye him with all the honors due to his flank. Entertaining him is more ex- peRsiye than entertaining any other monarch. His retinue is almost le- zion. Berlin Correspondent.

The Lamp Rock of Asia.

On the shores of Lake Rangkul, in the Cashgar mountains, in central Asia, stands the famous Lamp Rock of Asia. which is so called from cave in its side from which a constant stream of pale, greenish light is emitted. Ney Elias, the English adventureF who pass ed it in 1885, thinks it possible that the light is due to some phosphorescent mineral in the sides of tho cavern near it's opening. The natives of that section have never attempted 10 investigate the matter, each seeming content with the story told by his father, which is this: "The cave is tho dwelling place of a demon, who guards vast treasures stored there, and the light Is from diamond worn in band around his forehead" Elias explanation of the mystery is probably the true one,-- St. Louis Re- public,

The discussion of the question ot American mail routes, which is peron nially revived in the English newspa- pers, has at last taken a common sense turn. The British postal authorities are being roundly denounced because they refuse to send the mails in fast steam CTS unless they carry the British fag. Twice last month the Saturday mails were sent on a slow CunaTder, when they might have reached New York two days earlier if dispatched by the American line. The fast German boats leaving Southampton on Sunday und Thursday get no mail, except specially addressed correspondence. The British authorities persist in limiting themails to America to two per week, although four weekly mails are sent from New York. The protest is becoming so loud that it is barely possible that reform may be effected in the course of time. London Cable.

The Air Is Fhil of War Talk, but In Eng land There Is n Fear of yVealxnesa

! tHt AIT IN ult bt W III tdikf but III InK-
 land There Is Fear of Weakness.
 While it Is generally admitted that 1893 has been year of retrogression in Great Britain, both in material pros pority and national prestige, the year 1894 will be welcomed with strong hope md confidence. Even those who fear and expect war have this feeling in a large measure. Even war would re- move the curse of idleness, which, an influential deputation told the primo minister this week, is the greatest bur. den upon the nation.
 lt is one of the significant signs of the hour that the present generation, which knows nothing of war, has no conception of its horrors. It is not go- ing too far to say that if it were not for the prevailing fear of the inadequacy of the British armament considerable portion of the English people would at heart welcome the war which, nearly all agree, is threatened by the present conditions. The reason for this san. guinary sentiment is the fact that the English people are poor, poorer than ever before m these latter days.
 In spite of this still growing feeling of threatened trouble, no fact of any de- scription pointing to an international quarrel has come to light recently. All bellicose talk is still in the air only, and while the popular dread is perhaps little more deep and widespread than in similar crises in recent years it will be we'll to remember that the expected seldom happens in such cases. It is re. markable how undisguised some war alarms have become. Even MT. Astor's able journal has caught the fever. It is only fair to credit the Pail Mall Ga zette with sincerity when 1t said in warning leader yesterday:
 What we have to understand as a nation is that for the present we stand almost alone in Europe, and that the future is black with uncertain men aces. "
 The most significant recent utterance, in the opinion of the London press, is that of the pope when he said to the cardinals and prelates offering Christ mas greetings, If peace and charity have disappeared, we must not despair. v
 The tendency is, however, to give these words both broader and more specific meaning than his holiness prob- ably intended 10 convey. New York suns London Letter

The paper was the regular silk fiber paper, made only ty the government The counterfeit bill was passed on New York bank and was only detected whom it reached the subtreasury and 1t was found that the word Series had been omitted.

There are specimens of bis work ouexhibition in Washington. His work has always been So perfect that it was almost inc possible to detect bill he made from the genuine article. It is all done with q pen and ink and on the same quality paper that is us q in the genuine bills. Tho great dimCult in the way of bis capture IS that be has no tools. He is an artist, He sits down and draws q bill as an artist draws a picture. Even if he was captured in his room with a bin in his possession. there might be no evidence to convict him. as ho could say be had received it from somebody else It must require a long time for him to complete a single bill. and the skill he displays at his work is an indi- cation that if he devoted bis talents to honest employment be would make more money.

WATER LOCATION SENSE.
The strango Faculty Possessed by &,
 nentiles Even When p..a,tt.,s.a

 1he strango Faculty Possessed by some
 Reptiles Even When Decapitated.
 Reptiles and batrachians usually pos sess what may be termed the water lo- cation sense.
 My attention was first called to this by my brother, who, while engaged in a natural history expedition in south eastern Texas had what at the time we both considered a unlque experience with largo sea tortoise.
 This tortoise had been surprised some distance from the water, among tho sand dunes that line the gulf shore, and On being overtaken had its head chop ped of preparatory to serving as a very toothsomo addition to our diet Much to the surprise of the party the behead- ed animal continued on its way toward the water.
 Several times it was turned around, entirely or part way, but every time it was able to right its position perfectly and again make directly for the water.
 At tho time this was narrated to me was of tho opinion that there must have been something in the contour of the land that enabled the tortoise to regain the correct direction in each case.
 Since then I have had numerous proofs that this ability belongs to number Of species of these animals in the West Indies, and that the loss of eyes and nasal organs, of the entire head and neck, in fact, apparently works no inconvenience to them il this particular, This is family character istic which, so far as 1 have been able 10 find, is not alluded to in any work concerning them.
 The same singular ability may be ob- served in certain species of water ire quenting snake. The common water snake, often enormously called the water moccasin, almost invariably finds it's way to the water, if not too far away, when its head is cut of. St. Louis Republic.
