Although 1000 miles away, the Cape
of Gibraltar is of great Importance to
England. It's value is that of watch
tower from which the movements of
warships can be observed and tele-
graphed as they pass into and out of the
Mediterranean. Moreover, situated
as it is near our trade routes, says
the London Times, it is the
point at which vessels would naturally
call for news, orders, coal and protec-
ton during the continuance of war.
When you consider that in every Sec
ond of time twenty tons of shipping
20 out or come into our home ports,
and that, as a matter of fact, the stream
is continuous and never ceases, and
that the value of the sea-borne trade
of the British empire is calculated at
GA, $50, 600, 900, of which about 81, $50,
600, 900 neither comes to nor goes
from the United Kingdom, it seems
difficult to exaggerate the value of the
fortress of Gibraltar or to realize the
congestion Of British shipping which
might seek its protection in war. II
has at present no dry docks. Its gar
rison consists Of seven companies Of
artillery, four companies of engineers
and three companies of infantry. Il
is the meetingplace of our Channel and
Mediterranean pquad1ons. The roads
do not afford safe anchorage in al
winds, and an enemy could conceiya
blv shell them if he mounted heavy
guns on Spanish soil.

1t is commonly thought that the In.
stinct for new and striking advertising

cans than of any foreign Nationalities.
But the Scotch are smart, too. The
British Medical Association met this

men in the medical world were present.
Now, an Englishman, no matter what
slime Of the year it may be-spring,
summer or winter-must always wear
a tall silk hat while in London. Out

great London doctors assembled in
Carlisle the hot weather made change
"of headgear necessary. The chief hat
store had just introduced an American
shat shaper" of the style familiar in
New York hat stores, but rare in Eng.
land. This hat shaper makes little
diagrams of the shape of the customers
head to guide the halter in shaping
the new hat. The halter took the
''outlines" of the heads of all his medi-
cal customers and mounted all the
figures in frame and placed them in
his window to show to the passers by.
Attached to the deformed, irregular.
shaped figures were such names as Sir
Augustus Playfair, Lawson TAFT and
many others of international reputa
tion.

WASHINGTON GARBAGE AGAIN.
People living in the southeastern por-

to close their windows last night on ao-
count of the stencil which was waited
over that locality from Washington
garbage which is still dumped into the
Potomac. The act complained of is an
infraction of the laws of the District OF
Columbia, which forbid the casting of
any foul matter into the waters over
which it has jurisdiction, which ex-
tend to Jones's Point. 1t would be an
easy matter for them to detect the
guilty ones if they would use their po-
lice boat for that purpose. Last sum-

iected to the same annoyance by the
wanton fouling of the river Oft this city
