Red Tape.

From the Westminster Gazette.
At Gleiwitz, in upper Silesia, a youngster 8
kite got caught on the electric wire of "a
fire alarm. policeman noticed the acci-
dent, and in order to get the kite removed
made written report, which, after having
been perused by the "Polizeikommssar,"
was forwarded in succession to the 'Polizei-
inspektor," the magistrate and the ''Fuer-
hgeratkommssion.' The last named au-
thority engaged an engineer TO remove the
offending kite and recommended the magis-
trate to reward the Jealous policeman with
a premium of % pfennigs. The engineer
handed in written report to the effect
that the kite had been removed. The mu-
nicipal treasury paid the policeman the
sum of % pfennigs and received in return d
duly signed acknowledgment The master
of the School which the unlucky kite flyer
attended fourteen days had been spent in
tracing him) received instructions to Sc
verely warn his pupils against flying their
kites against electric wires. and after COM
plying with the instructions reported ac-
cordingly.
But the "Feuerioschgeratkom de-
termned that the matter should not rest
there. They sent deputation to the local
school board to ask that all school inspect
ors in the district should be instructed to
see that all the children in the local schools
received similar warning. The head mas
ters of all the schools were accordingly
supplied with written instructions as to the
way in which the necessary warning should
be conveyed. Circulars were distributed
among the Juvenile population. The head
school inspector was Informed of the steps
that had been taken. He informed the
school board and the school board the burg
ermetster Finally ths written documents
relating to the affair were collected, and,
after being furnished IMith a formidable
register number, were datd to rest in an Of
ficial pigeonhole. F'dur months passed from
the loss of the kiteoto the final subsidence
of documents and reports concerning it.

Mr.. Ingersoll, In this interesting volume
covers practically every phase of ocean
life, from the natural history of the great
seas to the naval warfare which, from the
time when history began to the stirring
pr esent, has been waged upon the bosom of
ths waters. Whether telling of icebergs Or
pirates, he Is entertaining. His chapter
Secrets Won from the Frozen North" is
especially fine, summarizing in vivid style
the exploits of the intrepid explorers
who havs rsked their lives in the search
for knowledge in the high latitudes.

CARTOONS Or THE WAR OF 1898 WITH SPAIN:
from Leading Foreign and American Papers
Chicago: Belfcrd, Middlebrook & COMPANY
One of the most distinct Impressions and
lessons of the recent struggle between
Spain and the United States is that the
newspaper cartoons were a potent influence
in molding public opinion and in expressing
the trend Of sentiment They were at once
mirror and creator. Ths volume lust
presented, therefore, Is of a distinct value
for preserving collection of some of the
most expressive of these pictorial editorials
tracing the courss of the war spirit from
its inception to the collapse of the Spanish
cause. 1t Is the more valuable because it
includes many of the most characteristic
cartoons published abroad. especially in
Spain, during the war. Thus an interest ting
and instructive contrast between the two
methods Of treating the subject with the

GREAT NORTHERN STOCK BOONS.
Despite RumOrs, Company Officers
Say No Changes Are Contemplated.

NEW YORK. Feb 4-The Tribune SAYS:
The stock of the Great Northern rail-
road showed unusual strength Thursday.
and the preferred made the important
gain Of 12 points in the course of the day.
This rise was accompanied by various
rumors about possible changes in the road
that would increase its earnings and make
the stock more valuable. One of the
stories was 10 the effect that James j.
Hill, president, and Jacob Schif, of the
Union Pacific reorganization committee.
had held various conferences. and that
development in which both roads would
participate might be looked for. Henry
W. Cannon, president of the Chase Ma
tional bank and a director in the Great
Northern, when asked about the report
that some change was expected in the
Great Northern, replied:
You can say coming from me that
there is no plan for any immediate change
in the great Northern. | mean by that,
not this week or next week or next month.
OF course, L cannot delve further into the
future"
How do YOU account for this sudden
rise in the stock?'' Mr.. Cannon was asked
