NEW OSTRICH FARM.
Plans 10 Control the Rearing Busi-
mes. In the United states.


At Phenix. a. H., is to be the head
quarters for the ostrich rearing indus
try Of the western continent 4. Y.
Pearson. who recently took up options
secured on all the principal ostrich
fioelSs in the United States. has an-
nounced his intention of combining all
his purchases ut that place, says the
New York Tribune. He has purchased
$50 acres OF alfalfa land nine miles
from Phenix and win move there the
200 birds from the phenix farm and
about coo more secured by him else
where.
Parsons purchases include all the
birds in the United States with the ex-
ception of the small flocks at Jackson
vile, Fla, and San Antonio, Tex, and
those owned by circuses and geological
gardens. He has practically formed an
ostrich trust and is favored by the 80
per cent tariff on feathers and by the
Cape Colony export tariff of $500 a
bird. About 100000 was expended
by Mr.. Pearson In cornering the os-
trich market He asserts that he has
He is in the business for profit and
states he expects to realize $50 year
from the feather crop of every mature
bird. The United States now annually
imports ostrich feathers valued at
nearly 100000, including the duty.
The experience of years has shown
that Arizona is fully as well adapted
to the rearing of ostriches and the pro-
duction of fine feathers as is even
South Africa. Here the incubator
Matched chicks are reared on plain
diet of alfalfa, which they relish above
all other foods and on which they are
pastured at small cost in the same
manner as are horses. They thrive In
the mild winters and hot summers, and
sickness among them is unknown. lso-
lation is advisable, however, II the
best results are sought, and on this ac-
count, 1t is understood. visitors will be
coldly welcomed at the new ostrich
farm,

A Fainter In a swamp.

Wishing to make study of a por-
ton of the swamp near Ell Akewa, in
Egypt, l set up my easel on the edge
of a pool where the ground seemed
little firmer than the rest. Quickly
becoming engrossed in my work, | did
not notice that | was slowly sinking
until / found that my sketching stool
had nearly disappeared and my legs
were imbedded in the mud almost ND
to my knees. With the breaking of
the surface crust the black slime gave
out most horrible odors, and small
singing flies, liberated from the earth,
quickly covered me, crawling up my
legs and arms, while the mosquitoes,
combining in the attack, eventually
drove me from my half finished work
Though really quite clear, the water
was so alive with mosquito grubs as
to appear almost Opaque. BY thou
sands every moment the grubs would
come to the surface, either crawling
up the rushes or floating, and the outer
shells soon cracking in the sun left the
little insects at liberty. few sec
onds sufficed to dry their wings and
give them life and strength and then
with hum and buzz they joined their
brothers in the air, lowering in thou
sands like cloud Of black smoke over
the stagnant pond from which they
sprang. Then / was discovered-a rare
bonnie bouche for those parts-and a
rapid retreat became imperative.-R.
Talbot Kelly in Century.

B. III. Thompson of Randolph, Cat

C. H. Crosby, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the United States Elk

reau of transportation of the Pan
American, suggesting that general
express depot be placed on the EXPOSE
ton grounds. to be used by all the COM
panies The plan will probably be
adopted.
Edward A. Powell of the Smith sc
Powell company Of Syracuse, one of
the committee of the Holstein-F riesian
Association of America, reports that
the committee Of the association hav-
ing the matter in charge is complet-
ing plans for bringing to the Buffalo
exposition the largest and finest ex-
hibit of live stock ever made on this
continent.
The a. O. u. W., the Maccabees and
the Benevolent Protective Order Of
Elks are taking steps toward securing
proper representation at the Pan
American exposition, either by the
erection of separate buildings for each
organization or by cooperation with
other fraternities for a suitable build
ing to be devoted to all who desire to
participate. 1t Is probable that this
matter will be acted upon at the an
nual session of the national fraternal
congress next August.
DIR. David Eugene Smith, principal
of the Brockport State Normal school,
recently applied to the managers of the
Pan-Ameriean exposition, requesting
that advertising matter, maps and
other data relative to the exposition
be sent to him. He wished to interest
the 1000 pupils at the Brockport nor
NAL in the exposition. The educational
phase of the Pan-American is one that
is susceptible of general developments.

 This correspondent confirms the state ment of the correspondent of the Daily Ex- press regarding the indignation caused by the British reception of Ii Hung Chang at Hong Kong.
 The Times understands that the chief representatives of the Mohammeden clergy in Constantinople have issued a strong protest, based upon the Koran, aainst palace sympathy with the Chinese massa- cres. According to the Canton correspond ent of the Daily Telegraph six Chinese sol diers have been beheaded for assaulting an American medical missionary.
 Russians Defeat Chinese
 The Russians, according to the latest news from St. Petersburg, have now com pleteiy defeated the Chinese and have oc- cupied Bagovestchensk, capital of the Amur government with large force. Since General Gribski, chief of staff at Port Ar thur, has taken over the supreme command In Manchuria, endorsements have been rapidly pushed up and the general situa- ton have been greatly improved. The Rus sian Minister of the Interior has issued a notice that the Siberian Railway is closed to private traffic. There is little doubt that the Russian authorities were not prepared for such an organized Chinese movement in Manchuria, but they have taken brisk measures and they believe that China will be soon too much pre-occuped with mili- ,tary operations around Pekin to conduct serious operation in the north.
 The Daily Mails Shanghai correspondent says:S
 ''Advices from Vladivostock state that the Chinese invasion of Eastern Siberia has stopped the Russian advance from the north on Pekin. The Russians have burn ed the Chinese town of Heampoa and are adopting very vigorous measures.'
