The appropriations by Congress
for the Improvement of the Missis-
sippi river during the last fifteen
years have amounted to more than
$40, 900, 900, which is 81, 900, 600 more
than the estimated cost of the Mic
aragua canal. The entire tonnage
of the Mississippi valley, which in
cludes that river and all its tribu-
taries, the Missouri the the Ten
nessee, the Arkansas, the Red and
the innumerable bayous and streams
that flow into it between Minneap-
oils and the jetties, consists of 1 ia
vessels of 2l0, ,772 tons. There are
however $3.50 fiat boats and coal
and lumber barges which have no
means of locomotion but are towed
by steamers or tugs. They aggre-
gate 3, 1872, sos tons. The improve
ment Of the Mississippi has, there
fore, cost the government $68,223
for every steamer that floats upon
the surface of that river and all its
tributaries or about ten times the
cost of the steamers. The total
number of steamers in the United
States is 24,383 with a tonnage of
4,764,921.
1t is interesting to compare the
commerce of some of the ports with
that OF the Mississippi There ar
rived at Panama last year 1922
vessels, with a tonnage of 901, ,65S
tons; at the port Of Vera Cruz,
Mexico, |, 164 vessels, of 2,543,318
tons; at Buenos Ayres, II ,469, rat
ed at 5,842, ,872 tons, and at the port
of Rio de Janerio, Notwithstanding
the revolution, 5,9O7, vessels, rated
at 2,694, 957 tons. The vessels that
arrived at Liverpool last year ex-
ceeded 5000, 600 tons; at Antwerp,
$4,000 tons, at Hambrg $3.50, 900
tons, which placed in comparison
with the commerce of the Missis-
sippi river makes it look very small
compared with the amount of mon
ey that has been spent in its inn
provement. During the year 1893
g. 141 vessels passed through the
Suez Canal, falling off of 218 from
the record of the previous year. OF

 As HAS been anticipated, orange cul- ture in the United States has outgrown the ability of the country to consume the production.

Good Bob White,

The male quail, or Bob White," de- serves honorable mention among galli- nacecuS birds because he is particular y good to his wife. He always helps her to hatch her eggs, and if anything keeps hcr away will take the whole duty on himself. This is particularly attestcd by a writer quoted by Capt. Bendire in his Life Histories of North American I,irds." Ife says: Tn June,
 sec, while vas or q visit to DT. J. NJ. Pickett of Ccdarville. Ala, he informed me Of having seen g male Bob White incubati1G He had visited the nest at var;ors times on different days, and always found the male bird on the nest. Wishing to be an eyewitness of so interesting a sight, I rode several miles with the doctor to the nest. There we found Bob White faithfully warming his treasures, but not into life; the eggs were never matched. Dr, Pickett frequently went to the nest until long 2fter the period of incuba- tion had elarsed. and finding that the eggs would not hatch. he destroyed them. to prevent the useless occupa- tion Of the rest by the male. The fe- male had probably been dead some hours before the male found the nest serted; hence the eggs cooled and would not hatch.''

A VERY DIFFERENT THING.

Even so well informed an English newspaper as the London Times doesn't seem to understand the relation be- tween the United States and Hawaii, and it displays an amazing ignorance concerning American affairs. On the subject of President Dole's firm, but so far as known in this country or En- gland, not impolite refusal to surren- der the Hawaiian government to the United States. the Times stands aghast at the temerity with which he thwarts the will of President Cleveland.
 It engages in discussion as to the presidents probable action toward the rebellious Dole and quite overlooks the fact that President Cleveland is much more apprehensive of the intentions of the American congress than Dole is ap- prehensive of Cleveland's purpose. In fact it is pretty we'll recognized on this side of the water that the matter has been quite taken out of the hands of the president. so that if the provisional government surrenders it will be an act of choice and not of compulsion.
 What the Times does not know about American politics tt thinks it knows about human nature, and pats MT. Cleveland upon his "stiff back" urging him to be firm, as he was on the silver ques tion, apparently forgetting that this is quite different matter.
 The "stiff back" in the silver fight was not that of MT. Cleveland, but the most powerful and wealthy, if not the largest element in American politics. The so-called Hawaiian policy on the other hand is utterly without support, party or moral.

COLORADO may be sufficiently short of currency to warrant measures for the encouragement of home manufacture of circulating medium, but she is rich in commodities. Within the past two weeks Cripple Creek offered $40,0O0 worth of silver bullion for the Corbett. Mitchell fight. Now comes an associa- ton of sporting gentlemen at New Cas- tie, who wish to trade 30,000 tons of good coal for the fight.

 WELLINGTON at Waterloo did not say: up, guards, and at 'emr' The words were put into his mouth by an imagin- ative writer.
 CHARLEMAGNE's paladins had no ex- istence, and the history of Charlemagne himself is so clouded by myth as to be utterly unreliable.
 THE mother of Coriolanus did not in- tercede with her son to spare Rome. The story has no better foundation than that of Horatius.
 THERE is no reason to believe that Tarquin insulted Lucretia. His power was overthrown in a popular tumult, which is the only basis for the story.

than three feet from tip to tip of SRits extended tentacles, while it's body Ras no larger than mans fist. It looked like a very big spider as 1t wabbled along on it's arms, trying to reach the surf from the part where it had been left by the receding tide, and the shell hunter thought he would try to capture it. Running up he planted his foot firmly on the end of one of the crea- tures ''feelers," but with apparent ease the octopus pulled it free and con- tinued it's march toward the sea. The man repeated the experiment several times with no better success, then talk ing advantage of a moment when the creature could offer comparatively lit tie resistance, it being in the act of reaching out to lay hold of a rock on the other side of an intervening Assure, he seized one of the tentacles and giv- ing powerful jerk tore the fish loose from the rock.
 Up to this time the efforts of the oc- topus had all been directed to escap- ing. Now, however, it changed it's tactics. Turning upon it's pursuer, it laid hold of him by the arm, wrapping it's tentacles about his body as well and tried to fasten it's beaklike jaws in his face.
 Here was predicament The hun ter hunted with vengeance. Try as he would, the man could not shake off the creature, which clung to him with a clammy, vicelike grip, but by a liberal use of a club, he saved himself from being bitten until his cries for as sistance brought friends to the scene, who killed the fish with knife.
