this country last year, has given his diary to

James Whitcomb Riley says that much Of the
dialect poetry in the newspapers to which his
name is attached was not written by him. The
editors have way of crediting him with any
unidentified verse of this character.
Prince Khilkoff, Russian Minister of Ways
and ommunications, is a practical engineer
of skill and experience. Heworked as an ordi-
nary mechanic and as locomotive engineer
in Canada and the United States, and later
spent several years with an engineering firm

foreign paper says that Cecil Rhodes the
most interesting man in the Cape House of As
sembly, is as "restless OH his seat as spring

for two minutes in succession. He, however,
sticks closely to his place, and though he does
not give one the appearance of being inter
ested in the proceedings, yet it is surprising to
note his immediate change from an air of being
utterly bored to one of close watchfulness
when an expression is used or an argument
propounded which is of interest to him. When
he speaks he comes to the point at once, but he
is somewhat difficult to follow, nevertheless.
The statement that he thinks aloud is o very
apt description of his style of address. The
ending of his speech is usually as abrupt as
his introduction.

JOHN DREW ON LONDON,
The Popular Actor Tells OF His
Delightful Experiences
Abroad.
Pipero and Anthony Hope Write a
Play for Him-The Bicycle
In Europe.

John Drew, the well-known and ever.
walcome actor. whom San FranciscanS
have delighted to honor for many years,
arrived in this city Wednesday morning,
direct from London, where he enjoyed %
most pleasant three months rest from the
exacting duties of his profession. Mr.
Drew has been most fortunate in estab-
fishing himself firmly in the affections OF,
the Old World as well as the New.
While in London he was the recipient OF
the high est honors, In professional sense,
by receiving the special attention and
favora BILE consideration of Henry Irving:
On the occasion OF the Testimonial tenoereo
Mr.. Irving, as special mark OF favor for
his eminent work on the stage, Mr.. Drew
was accorded all honor as worthy mem"
Der of the profession in this country.
Mr. Drew left London but two weeks ago,
stopping long enough in New York to pick
up his company of players. He VIII
open the season at the Baldwin Monday
evening in very strong and attractive
play entitled 1.-THE Bauble-shop, by Henry
Arthur Jones.
'You may say" said Mr.. Drew, "in con-
nection with my recent visit to London
that called upon Pinero and Anthony
Hope and engaged them to write for me a
play based on the lines of an American
gentleman's experience in London society.
l think the play is now quite finished, and
1 expect thai it may arrive in New York
any day. I expect that this play will
bring out strikingly the best features
suited to my special line of delineation, as
it has been written to that end.
81 found the most cordial feeling exist
ing in London toward American actors, as
I have ever found it for a number of years
past in many visits to that metropolis.
II feel at home here in San Francisco,
for I know / am among friends. San
Francisco has Away greeted me in most
cordial and friendly spirit and in return I
have ever found my visits here to be of
the most satisfying nature"
Several representatives of the best soci-
ETY. of the City met Mr.. Drew on the other
side of the bay and welcomed him to the
City.
'In the matter of cycling" said Mr..
Drew, ''you would be surprised to learn
how general the custom has become in
London and Paris. Why, it is all the rage.
Men do business in what they term the
golf costume, and the ladies, why, they are
never content unless on the wheel. They
do their shopping, go to the theater and
attend to all matters of business or social
life wearing the golf costume"

red specks, SO small that they can hardly be
seen with the naked eye. These are the insects
that are the source of annoyance to the birds.
If the cloth is allowed to remain on the cage
after the sun has risen the insects will return
to the BIRDS There are also powders that are
used to destroy the insects.

ALUMINUM-C. c., East Oakland, Cal. Alu-
minum occurs in the products of decomposition
of minerals and in other forms. One of the
most important of these is clay, which is found
in all conditions of purity, from white kaolin
to ordinary dark-colored clay. Kaolin is the
aluminium salt of orthosilicic acid. The name
aluminium has its origin in the fact that the
salt alum was known at an early date, and the
metal was afterward isolated from it. There
are different processes of extracting the metal
from the clay. The specific gravity OF the metal
is from 25 to OF, according to the condition.
