1t is fact observed by everybody who has
ished on the Maine ponds that swallows
are almost constantly flying about, often
close to the surface and dipping in the water
The gentleman referred to was watching one
of the birds doing this recently when,
just as the swallow touched the water, a
pickerel came to the surface with a big
swirl and seized him. The swallow went
under, but the hold of the pickerel must have
been slight, for in an instant the bird came
to the surface and tried to fly away. He
seemed weak and, going but a few feet,
struck the water again. The pickerel must
have been watching for the bird, for at that
instant there was another furry in the
water and the bird went under second time,
not to come up again, and one pickerel had q
nice meal that day. These Maine plckerei
are voracious fellows and will tackle almost

Sigvald Asbjornsen, of Chicago, who
assisted Sculptor Park in the modelling
OF the Franklin statue for Lincoln
park, has just completed a bust of
Nansen, the explorer, which will be
cast in bronze in that city today. AS
bjornsen was just putting the finish
ing touches to the clay model for the
bust when a dispatch came announc-
ing the safe return of Nansen.
The sculptor and the explorer are
personal friends, and Asbjornsen has
never doubted that Nansen would find
his way back to civilization.
few weeks ago Asbjornsen received
a letter from the Ole Bull Association
of Minneapolis asking him to contrib
ute a sketch of some kind to help de-
fray the cost of the monument. He
had modelled bust of Manson while
the latter was on his trip to Greenland
a few years ago, and he set about fui-
filling the request by med ling another
bust of his friend from photographs
and from memory.
The bust and its base are together
eleven inches in height. hansen is
represented as wearing the fur cap and
coat in which he is usually seen when
at home. The base is roughly finished,
adding to the artistic effect of the cap
and dress.
The bust will probably be placed on
exhibition in a lew days.

In appearance it resembles very pale sherry,

MANY WANT TO BE JUDGE.
Both Parties Tonight Hold Judicial
Convention Primaries

The primary election for the choice of two
Judges of the district court for the Fourth
judicial district will be held this evening
From TO O'Clock the Democratic primaries
will be held, and from to the Republican
primaries. From the number of avowed can
didates for judicial honors, it is likely that
the Republican convention to be held Tues
day will be a lively affair. Among
the younger men David F. Simp-
Il. Steele, Judge of probate, are named
Others are A. M. Harrison, of the firm of
Harrison & Noyes w. P. Roberts, Daniel
Fish. of the firm of Young & Fish: James
A. Kellogg Henry j. Gjertsen, of the firm of
Gjertsen Rand Marshall A Spooner and
Joseph L. Dobbin. There may be others 1t
is quite probable that the names of the re-
firing judges, Seagrave Smith and Charles
". Pond. will also be presented to the Repub-
lican convention and the chances are in
favor of their nomination by the Democrats,
If not by the Republicans.
Who Will be the successful nominees Of the
Republican convention is difficult to guess
as several of the gentlemen will enter the
struggle with considerable strength 1t
seems to be the general opinion that Dave
simpson is winner, and that the fight will
then narrow down between Harrison and
Fish. But 1t is possible that some of the
others Will show unexpected strength after
the balloting begins. All the candidates are
regarded as men of high ability and char
acter.

RAILWAYS in CHINA.
The Empire Is MT Last to Be Open to
Railroads.

Several railways are at last about to be built
in China, according to a recent Pekin Ca
zette One line is to connect Pekin with
Tien-Tsin. 1t will be about eighty miles
long and constructed entirely with govern
ment funds.
Another road is to run across Central China
from Pekin to Hankow. The emperor mas
decided that the railroads will stimulate trade
in China besides giving employment to the
masses Of the people, and so will give 1t all
the support in his power.
A third line is to be built from Snangnal
to Foochow. This road although 1t will only
be about sixty-fve miles long, is expected to
accomplish great deal by opening up the
province of Kiangsu The viceroy OF NanKlng
has always strongly opposed all railroad pro-
jects in China, but is now enthusiastic over
the enterprise, and offers to provide half the
cost out of the official treasury. ana urges

AMERICANS GO UP.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The American market
has dominated the stock exchange during the
past week. The settlements showed only
comparatively small accounts open, one small
failure and some few African plungers who
recently turned their attention to Americans
were severely pinched. The news of Bryan's
failure to make an impression upon the peo-
pie of New York caused prices to rebound as
violently as they were put down recently, while
the record of the gold crushing report from
the Rand put spirit into the African markets
and indirectly Influenced all markets. For
eigners are firm, except Grecian stocks which

ment of Greece in the Cretan troubles. Lon

Navigation company has bought land with the
intention Of building It's own wharves on the
Thames. 1t is believed, however. that that
company will come to terms with the dock
committee and avoid the necessity for the new
wharves. Americans declined slightly on Sat
urday on reaiizations, but the market showed
general rise, varying from 1 to 3 points on
