hibited in La Junta last summer,
snapped the chains that held him
to stakes in wint r quarters at
Argentine, Kansas, last Tuesday,
and went on a tear on his own ac-
count. Rajah was in fine humor
when he struck the Santa Fe rail
road yards. He attacked box
car with his head, lifting it sever
al feet in the air. but instead oi
turning it over he allowed it to
drop back to its natural position.
Then with two strokes of his
mighty trunk he crushed the front
end Of the car. Rajah next grab
bed an iron switch and literally
broke it in two. The switch was

was a remarkable example of the
ANIMALS strength. He destroyed a
great deal OF other property and
his hide was indented by eighteen
bullets before he was finally cap
tured and his "tear" OF twenty
two hours duration was brought to
a close.

The artesian wells at the local
shops have been nearly exhausted,
and the Santa Fe is securing water
at Rocky Ford for engine use.
Every morning now a train is made
up of engine tanks and taken to
Rocky Ford where they are SUP
piled with artesian water. The
railroad artesian wells have ceased
to flow, and the casing is said to
be worn out, SO that it will be nee
essary in the very near future to
sink new wells on the railroad
property. c. II. McVey Of Rock,
Ford has contracts for seven new
wells along the line of the Santa
Fe and work will be commenced
on the La unta wells at once. An
artesian well will be sunk on the
hospital property, the tools and
materials for contraction being al
ready on the ground. The water
from this well will be piped from
the hospital to the depot for use at

From the American Architect.

From the American Architect.
A new method of decorating surfaces with
color has been devised by NJ. Charles Hem
ry, which promises to have an extended de-
velopment. Every one knows that II a drop
Of oil, or of spirit of turpentine is allowed
to fall on water, it will spread over the sur
face Of the water, showing iridescent colors
as the pellicle extends, and becomes thin
enough to cause intcrferences in the light
reflected from the upper and lower sur
faces. Sometimes these iridescent colors
are very brilliant, particularly with turpen-
tine or essential oils, but they disappear, OF
course, with the evaporation Of the volatile
substance. NJ. Henry's invention consists
in adding to the volatile spirit some sub
stance which, as the spirit evaporates will
remain fixed at the same time that IL re-
tains the properties of the spirit pelIicle.
For this purpose he employs bitumen, or
resins of certain kinds, dissolving them in
turpentine and allowing drop of the solu-
ton to fall on the water. The solution
spreads, as tUrpentiLe lone would do, but,
as the turpentine evaporates. q thin perma-
nent film of resin is left, which exhibits tho
irisdescent colors Of the original liquid.
This permanent film is then taken up on pa
per, to which IL gives a beautiful rides
ceEce. Either black or white paper may be
employed, the former giving greater bril-
llancy. and the latter greater softness.
While the liquid solution is spreading over
the paper the colors may be artihcially
modified by blowing on the film, or by whis-
Ting near IL, or In other ways. and these
variations will be perpetuated in the hnish-
ed work. 1t will occur to the scientific man
that there might be a possibility Of produce
ing such variations by the action Of colored
light as is done by the Lippmann process on
a film of bromide of silver and gelatine and
experiments are likely to take that direcs

India as q Market,

Consul General Patterson, at Calcutta,
informs the State Department that a line
Of steamships has been established be-
tween New York and India, to touch at
Bombay and Calcutta, of which Norton &
Sons Of New York arc the agents. This
will give our manufacturers and shippers -
ssys he, direct communication with India
without transshipment, of which they
should take advantage. If they will make
the proper efforts, millions of dollars of
additional trade with this country will be
the result. 1 would suggest that, through
the department, the attention of the
manufacturers be called to this line,
especially that of the manufacturers
of railway supplies. locomotives. mill ma
chinery, agricultural implements, bicy-
ces, cotton piece goods, ETC., and to
ne importance of sending active, intelli-
gent representatives to ascertain just what
is adapted to this country, and to estab-
lish agencies at the important commercial
centers. where samples of their manufac-
lures may be seen. India is a wide field
for the sale of American manufactures In
competition with those of England and the
continent, and 1t only requires intelligent,
energetic efforts on the part of our manu-
facturers to secure good share of the
business.

THE CENSUS OF. EGYPT.
The Native Egyptinns Number Nine
Millions.
From the London Times.


Frcm the London Times.
The statistics of the census taken last
June of what is called Egypt proper-that
is, Egypt up to Wady Halfa-have been
classified deliberately by Bonnet Bey of the
finance ministry. The main results are as
follows: In 1916 under Mohammed Ali the
population was only estimated at 400, 900;
the census of 1889. which was a most i'm
perfect one, showed over $50, 600; and last
years, which may be considered as fairly
accurate as is practicable indicates a total
population of nearly 9.750.00O. OF this total
sos per cent are males and 1872 per cent
females. After deductions for women chill
dren under seven years, and Beduin 1t is
calculated that II per cent of males can
read and write, the remainder being en-
tirely illiterate. The native Egyptians
number 9.OOS,O0O, to which must be added
10000 originally from other parts of the
Ottoman Empire and $4,000 Beduin. Of
these last only $1,000 are really nomads.
the remainder being styled semi-sedentary
OF foreign residents there are 1880 of
whom the Greeks are the most numerous
with 5000; then come the Italians 24,5o0;
British QEcluding $500 Maltese and 5000
of the army of occupation), 1850; French
Qncluding 1900 Algerians and Tunisiaus)
1900; Austrians, 1000; Russians l 400:
Germans, 1900; and the remainder are di-
vided among ten different nationalities.
The classification according to religion
shows nearly 9.OOO,Geo Moslems, 730, 900
Christians and % 900 Israelites The Chris
tians include the Coptic race, numbering
about 60S,OO0, of whom only a very small
proportion profess the Roman Catholic and
Protestant faiths. Among the town
populations Cairo contains $4,000, Alex

the interior of the Delta), $1,000; Zagazig
and Mansurah Ghe next in importance)
5000 each, Port Said, 1900; Ismailia
nearly 1900; Suez, 1900. From these fig
ures 1t may be gathered that over $4,000
persons derive their living from the Suez
canal. Assault Ghe largest town of Upper
Egypt, contains 1900, and Keneh ranks
next with 24,OOO. The total number of
centers Of population, comprising towns,
villages, farm settlements and Beduin en-
campments, is given as 1929

A VENTRILOQUIsT IN JAIL.
He Took Liberties With a Fellow

From the Topeka Capital.

He Took Liberties With n Fellow
Prisoners Imagination.
From the Topeka Capital.
Monte La Crofte, who is lingering for a
few days behind the bars of TIE city prison,
is an all-round phenomenon.
His greatest feat is ventriloquism. This
business he has developed to an astonishing
degree. Last night a drunkard was put be-
hind the grating in the same room with La
Crofte.
La Crofte pulled his cot up close 10 the
drunkard's All at once there was most
unearthly screaming and yowling up in the
dark ceiling of the room. The drunkard
became excited. Then there was pause.
Ali at once the awful noise began again
this time right under the arUnkard's cot
With a howl the intoxicated Individual
bounded out into the middle of the room.
He ran to the iron door. and yelled to Jaiier
Dagg.
Help, Help. Come quick! There are Wild
cats in here!'
The rest, of the prisoners caught on to
the game, and began to help the yentrilo-
ouist along. One of them whispered TO him
to rake up some of the drunkard's past his
tory SO, after things mad again qufeted
down, a voice. apparently coming right out
of the thin air near the drunken mans
head, said:
Il am the spirit of John McGill. You hit
me on the head with a stone, and from the
effects of the injury i died. l have come
back to haunt you and damn your soul.
Shivers of terror shook the carcass of the
drunkard. Chilly sweat stood In moist pro-
fusion on his face.
Tonight you are going to die continued
the voice.
Help. Dagg! Help" groaned the victim
Of strong drink.
Five minutes more is all you have to
live" said the voice in terrible ,arnestness.
Don't hurt me! Don't do itr' sobbed the
man.
I'm just five minutes 1 will dig my claws
into you, tear your heart out. i am the
spirit of John McGill, whom you killed"
All the evening the voice artist tortured
the helpless inebriate. 1t was probably the
worst case of delirium tremens the man
ever had. Finally the drunkard got sober
and when he found out the trick that lad
been played, he chased La Crofte with a
chair, and would have done the ventrilo-
quist harm had not the TALLER interfsred.
La Crofte performed the hair-raising feat
yesterday of biting the top on a whisky
bottle and chewing the flask to fragments
between his tssth. La Crofte in also a
