American Recklessness of Life.

Railways never would have been per.
mitted to exist in England, writes Will
liam NJ. Acworth, had they been as reck-
less of human life and as careless of
the inconvenience they inflicted on in
dividuals as American railways have
been and to a great extent still are.
An Englishman can only stare with
establishment when he sees for the first
time trains running through crowded
streets of cities such as New York and
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. l4.-Another story of
alleged traffic in the scalps of wolves
and foxes comes from the Dakotas and
the officials Of those states are said to

of that city, Leon PIatky, informed the
authorities in Washington that New
York dealers were arranging to supply
the scalps of these animals to certain
dealer i'll this city for the purpose of
having them smuggled into South Da-
kota. There they could be turned over
to the county authorities and the
bounty of s. apiece fixed by the state
collected

NEW YORK, Feb IA special to
The Herald from Panama, Colombia,
says great fire ragged in Guayaquil,
Ecuador When the firemen and SOL
diers who were hurriedly ordered out,
to help them, finally brought it under
control, thousands Of panic stricken
persons were wandering, homeless. in
the streets, many lay dead in the
morgues. and property worth nearly
81, ZOO, 900 had been destroyed, includ-
ing the noble cathedral and the con-
vent. which adjoined it. The Herald's
correspondent in Guayaquil telegraphs
that the fire was first discovered in the
convent. 1t spread with such rapidity
that it was with tho utmost difficulty
that the majority of the inmates es-
capped with their lives. The firemen
were on hand within few minutes,
but their work was powerless to save
either the convent building or the cath
edral of St. Augustin, which the flames
Immediately attacked From that point
the fire flew to surrounding property,
and in an incredibly short space of time
many blocks of houses were in a blaze
At Least Thirty Cremated.
The fire brigades Of the suburbs and
all surrounding towns were summoned
by telegraph and battalions of guards
were dispatched to aid the firemen.
Through their united efforts the spread
of the element was checked and the
city saved from destruction. The panic
which began among the nuns in the
convent, several of whom were burned,
was contagious, and the city became
rror-stricken when the seriousness of
the situation was grasped. The officials
urged the president, General Alfaro, to
seek place of safety. and at last yield
ing to their advice, he took refuge wi,S.l
his family on board steamship in the
harbor. 1t is believed that at least &c
persons suffered death and it is known
that many We're injured.

cathode rays are not q factor. 1t may
be said, however, that the widespread
interest attracted to Roentgen's dis
covery and the experiments Of Edison
preparatory to his attempt to photo
graph the brain were the incentive that
led DIR. Simon after nearly three years
Of labor to bring to bear his whole
power in final attempt to capture the

Simon is q graduate of the New York
university, pupil Of Charcot of Paris,

DIR. Simon said that he used an ordi-
nary camera with platinum plates. sub
jected neither to heat nor to any espe-
cial chemical treatment. The time of
exposure was limited to two minutes.
Ordinarily, the doctor said, the time of
exposure would be regulated by the
depth of material through which the
light must pass. For the present Dr.
Simon will not make known the details
of his apparatus. He says:
II don't like to withhold it from the

worked almost uninterruptedly. The
work had not. been without attending
dangers. Even the final and successful
effort was made with no assurance that

Though in measure satisfied that the

that no other life might be endangered.
He had arranged mirrors SO that he
might observe the effects, and was thus
enabled to view his own brain. IT

the production this week will be around

MR.. PALMER'S NOT SIT.
He Is Supreme Secretary of the A. p. A.
Tribute to His Americanism


A Tribute to His Americanism.
The news of the election of w. j.
Palmer as supreme secretary of the
A. p. A. at Washington, d. c., yester-
day, was received with great rejoicing
in certain circles in this city as il Is
regarded as a vindication of the Ca
nadians. The Canadian Home in East
Broadway was illuminated last night
Prominent members of the A. p A
say that 1t is a fat job, worth $4,000 a
year. 1t would necessitate his removal
from Butte, as he will have to be
where the supreme council headquar-
tiers are. During the past year ii has
been at Detroit, Mich, but ii is
thought that it may be at Washing
ton, ID. c., this year. While Mr.
received with general regret, consola-
ton may be had in the fact that il
was the best office available for him,
his boom for sheriff of Silver Bow
county having been busted a few days
ago.
The appointment is a splendid tribute
to the Amerdcanism of Mr.. Palmer,
who became a naturalized citizen of
the United States of America just six
months and 10 days ago. Mr. Palmer
never voted but once in this country
and the great success Mr.. Palmer has
met with In taking up patriotism as a
fad will be an inspiration and a bea-
con light to those Canadians of Butte
who are still out of office Some of
them have felt the need of inspiration
lately
