why are red-headed people less sub
feet to badness than those with fair
or brown hair2 An English physician
has answered this cOnundrrm:
The hair OF the red-headed Is reia-
lively thick, one red hair being as thick
as Ave blonde or three brown hairs.
With 10000 red hairs the scalp Is well
matched; with the same number OF
blonde hairs one is almost bald. 1t

He Has n Plan.

Mr. F. A. Darling of New York believes he
is the author of plan which will prevent
the turning in of false alarms of fire. He
has written the District Commissioners rel
alive to the matter, and explains his plan
as follows: place a small box sufficiently
large for a man to enter and close the door
about the alarm. Upon entering, the alarm
cannot be turned in until the door is closed.
The turning in Of the alarm turns on a
strong electric light, and a kodak, placed
in position in the box, snaps photograph
of the person turning in the alarm While
the apparatus need not be expensive, ii
would at least be effective to deter mis-
chievous persons from taking chances OF
detection, while the real person who turns
In a true alarm can readily be ascertained.

party. If the suggestion should be accept
ed 1 will make claim for the right of q
patent or sell the same to other parties
with that in view"
1t is understood the Commissioners vii
| inform Mr.. Darling that they do not deem
| his plan sufficiently practical to warrant
| them in adopting 1t.

ANNUAL REPORT.
Work of Examiners of Steam En-
gineers for Year.


gineers for Year.
The report of the board of examiners of
steam engineers for the fiscal year ended
June &c. 1899. has been submitted to the
District Commissioners. There were OIL
meetings of the board held during the
year; 14o applications were received; lo4
applicants were approved; 80 applicants
were found incompetent; 16 licenses of the
first class were granted; "a of the second
class; GA of the third class; duplicate
classes and one license was revoked.
"In connection with the above reports
the board, I'VE wish to state that no acct
dents of serious nature have occurred IN
any boilers or steam machinery where IL
censed engineer has been employed. winch
Proves that the license law has not only
been a protection to the community, but
has also been a benefit to the owners OF
steam plants. 1t has also elevated the men,
and put them in a position by which they
strive to be promoted to a higher class OF
engineering.
There are certain parts of the present
law which should be so 2mended thdt all
engineers employed in the District would
be under direct control of the honorable
Commissioners and the District laws.
I'VE are greatly incony enienced in our
work by our present crowded quarters we
vide US with a separate room in the Dis
trict building, also some parts oil ma
chinery, which would be of valuable as
sistance in examining candidates FOL
licenses.
I'VE regret very much the loss of our for
mer chairman, Mr.. j. H. Wiikerson, for II
him we lost a valuable associate and eff
cient chairman. The vacancy has beer
ably filled by the recent appointment OF Mr.
E. F. Vermillion.
"Our estimate of expenses for the yea
ending June 30, 1901, 5000 for compensa
ton of examiners, and $500 for contingen
cies of the office"
The members of the board are E. F. Yer

CATTLE TO ENTER CUBA FREE.
No Determination in Favor OF the
United States.

Some rather perplexng questions have
arisen in connection with the proposed Or
der admitting to Cuba free of duty Nigh
bred cattle. In drafting the ORDER proFis-
ion was made that the free admission was
to apply to cattle sent from the united
States. This, however, raised question as
to the view foreign governments would take
of a tariff order giving free entrance 10
American cattle and leaving the regular
tariff rates to apply against cattle from
other countries. 1t is said that Mexico ana
Honduras raise q class of cattle specially
adapted to Cuba. and that in the interest,"
of the island these cattle should enter on at
least equal terms with those from this coun-
try The international aspect of the mat
ter having been carefully examined IN OF

Iished as to special tariff advantages III

amended so as to admit the cattle to Cuba
without discrimination as TO the country of
origin.

The SIoss Iron and Steel Company will
probably soon go out of existence as

TO be organized. to include the Sloss Com
pany. the American Coal Company. the
Ensley furnace at Sheffield. the Philadel-
phia furnace at Florence, the Gulf Creek
Coal and Coke Company and other coal and
iron companies of Alabama. This proposed
new company has been perfected within
the past ten days by the consolidation of
various companies mentioned above. 1t is
probable that this combination will effect
a consolidation with the Alabama Coal and
Iron Company, recently organized by the
International Trust Company and the John
Shelton Williams syndicate. The latter or
ganization was effected by a Baltimore
party within the last six weeks.
The new company. composed of the Sloss,
the American Coal and other properties

summation Of the organization will be eff

ances of Chaplain c. G. Bateman, stationed
at Fort Spokane, In the course of a Fourth
OF July oraticn delivered before religious
organization at Seattle. Washington. The
chaplain's remarks on that occasion have
called forth some unfavorab.e comment on
account of his alleged unnecessary crti-
cisms Of foreign governments The par
ticular passage of his speech to which OBJ
lection has been made as unnecessarily re-
necting upon nations with which the United
States is on friendly terms is as follows:
THE naval establishments of all these
powers are upon like colossal scale, neces-
stating the expenditure of uncomfortable
sums. And for what purpose-to maintain
civilization? No: to maintain the balance
of power between jealous rulers. Under
such conditions the soldier becomes a for
mdatle factor in the overthrow of ciyiliza-
ton. This stupendous power is at the CON-
mand of a few men, not one OF whom is
| noted for remarkable Intelligence or moral
character. Europe may be plunged into
war tomorrow to crafty the personal spite
| or vaingiory of those two rather weak
| young men who rule Germany and Russia
