A CHICAGO BUSINESS.

| Some of the tramps are up to date IL
the story told by the Rev. William G.
Dewitt of Chicago is true. He says
there is in Chicago a commercial agency
for the benefit of tramps. In it's opera
lions in that city ratings are recorded
and furnished to customers upon the
payment of fee, showing what men
are charitable, how and when each may
be successfully approached, what kind
of an appeal is best adapted to this or
that case, and indicating the maximum
amount that may be expected from
EACH The head Of this bureau of infor-
nation Is a character well known in the
tramp lodging-houses He calls him
self a lawyer and wears good clothes
and fashy jewelry. He carries the
records Of his agency in his pocket, re-
quiring no fixed office of business. At
stated intervals he makes the rounds Of
the cheap lodging-houses, acquiring
new information as to citizens who are
to be put in his lists and selling ratings
as to others who are known invariably
to respond when the keynote to their
nature is struck. A fee Is charged for
each address, and it varies according
to the rating. For some names the fee
is fifty cents, but the shrewd beggars
find that the information is a profitable
investment.
By and by perhaps there will be
tramp trust.

LIFE, Or DEATH, IN INDIA,

People have lived in India a long
time, but the wild animals and the
snakes of that country have not yet
been conquered by the people. The gov
eminent reports for 1897 have been COM
pleted and made public and they show
that the number of persons killed by
wild animals was APT against 1897 in
1894, 3,104 in 1895, and 1922 in 1896. The
causes of this steady increase are not
touched upon, but it is generally at
tributed to the inability of the villagers
to defend themselves, owing to the oper-
alton Of the laws forbidding the carry
ing of arms by natives. On the other

The whirlpool rapids below Niagara
Falls have got to go to work too. New
York and Buffalo capitalists propose to
invest $2,0O0,00O, with which they expect
to secure a 5,00O-horse-power plant.
The plan involves a canal along the
base of the gorge, thus making use of
the fall of forty-five feet which the rap
ids make down to the whirlpool the
power-house being located around the
bend below the grand spectacle. 1t is
estimated that about 200, 900 cubic feet
of water flow through the gorge each
second at a speed of twenty-five miles
an hour, and it is proposed to use five
per cent. of the stream. The entrance
to the canal will be a massive nonolith
to withstand the furious attack of the
waters, and the extensive excavations
necessary for the canal will be accom-
plished by hydraulic mining. The canal
can be constructed, it is said, without
injury to the scenery.

John A. Gallagher, the State geologist
of Missouri, believes that Missouri is
rich in things the prospector has not
found. He believes that there are great
granite quarries yet to be discovered,
oil and gas to be found and riches in
ores to be uncovered. Speaking of the
geological richness of Missouri, he says:
