Bavaria has most curious claim to
notoriety, which is that it possesses the
longest lightning conductor in the
world. 1t rises some yards above the
top of the meteorological station on the
zugspitze, the highest point in the
German empire, and runs down the
side of the mountain to the bottom of
Hollenthal, where there is running
water all the year round. The length
Of the rod is five and one-half kilo-

The Tariff and its Friends,

George d. Roberts, director of the
mint, has been talking about tariff re-
vision. He cheerfully admits that
the tariff should be revised, butinsists
that it be revised by its friends.
Mr.. Roberts need not worry. AS
long as the Republican party is in
power Mr.. Roberts need not worry
about tariff. Any revision thereof will
be by the friends of the tariff. When
the Dingley bill was under considera-
tion the republican members held
secret meetings and invited the repre-
sentatiyes of special lines Of business
affected by tariff legislation to appear
and state what they wanted. The
steel rail representatives told what
they wanted-and got it. The sugar
trust representatives stated what they
wanted-and got it. Iron makers,
wool spinners, rope makers, Irvine
makers and all the allied hosts Of
monopoly found their way into the
rooms occupied by the republican
members of the ways and means COM
mittee and told what they wanted.
They did not have To ask second
time, for the republicans were friends

TRAGEDY OF A LIFE.
Sailor Deserted by Friends Dies
Alone on Barren Island.
His Skeleton Found in His Bunk with
a Diary by His Side In Which He
Had Recorded His Terrible
Experiences.

On Unimak island, which guards one
of the entrances to the Behring sea,
rude mound of rocks marks the last
resting place of Charles William An
derson, sailor, fisherman and hunter.
Anderson starved to death on the
bleak and barren island waiting for
friends who deserted him. He died on
June l.--1s99. and his skeleton in his
bunk and his diary Beside itwere found
by two hunters who were driven on the
island during storm.
The diary was addressed to Andrew
Crossword, of Unga, who arrived at San
Francisco few days ago with his
friends last writings.
Several vessels passed by his island
none saw Anderson's flag of distress.
Once vessel was becalmed close to the
shore and he tried to reach it, but he
had not the strength left to launcfAhis
little boat His legs had failed him and
he could only pull himself along by his
elbows.
He deliberated on shooting his dog,
Dempsey, but he could not screw up
courage to Stay his faithful friend. HE
brought seals to me through the break
ers," he wrote, land fed him as long as
] could" Finally the dog disappeared.
The diary records the terrible suffer
ings of Anderson from thirst and his
expeditions after fresh water. The last
entry says:
Monday, June 1s.-Now 1 must go
for water again. am more afraid this
time than before. But with Gods help
may come back again. I would not
like to die outside. But Gods will be
DONE"
He had his wish, for he returned and
died in his bunk.

Too large n Bite.

Manchuria being about 500 miles one
way and 500 the other, it is no wonder
the Russian bear denies having swal-
lowed it at the first gulp. At least two
bites at cherry of that magnitude are
to be looked for, says the New York
Tribune, and perhaps several more.
But there is little doubt that the ro-
bust animal will worry it all down
sooner or later.

that was asked by the interested

men who managed to get inside the

to the people were outragcou>ly

friends. If the trusts want any mnr"

l Last EVeinng on the Humane Treat | mant of Animals.
 Arthur Westcott, of Our Animal Pro- | tective league, delivered an entertain 1 ing lecture last evening in Colonial
 hall, his subject being What Great | Things Children Can Do for Animals" /"
 The lecture was given under the aus | pices of the Ladies' auxiliary of the
 New Haven Colonial Historical society, There were over 100 stereopticon views taken from life, illustrating the | humane work of the league. The league | chapter room was shown with the off, | cers in session, and the work of the girls chapter was explained. MT | Westcott cited several instances of per- sonal work that anyone can do such as
 pleading for permission to loosen tight
 check reins, and showed the evils of overdraW check, and it's resulting dis tortion of mouth and lip, with the
 straining effect upon the neck. He il- frustrated how a perfectly harnessed horse should look, with the easy, grace
 full pose of head and neck that comes from good treatment.
 The shoeing of distressed feet was next taken up, and the anatomy and physiology of the horse. Pictures fol- lowed of famous horses, with an expo sition of the achievements of horses in time os war.
 The traits of dogs and cats were treated in a sympathetic manner MT. Westcott laid special emphasis upon the value of dogs as company for chil- dren, and gave several examples of the faithfulness and devotion of the latter in protecting children, Cats and kit tens, with their peculiar and amusing traits were discussed, and MT, Vest colt closed the lecture with a general appeal for humane treatment of the lower animals, saying that kind, intel ligent treatment would not only be of benefit to the brute creation, but would equally improve mankind and result in making the world brighter and hap pier.
