AIDED THE BRITISH.
Incident of Al Years Ago Recalled
by Taking Of Taku Forts.
American Captain Helps British Al
miral Out OF Perilous Position-
Originated Phrase "BlOod Il
Thicker Than Water"

The Talku forts, recently occupied BY.
the international forces, just Al years
ago were the scene Of an episode which
gave to the world that famous phrase:
BLOOD is thicker than water"
A British feet of II small gunboats,
under Admiral Hope, was engaged In
an assault on the mud batteries just
inside the Pei-Ho river bar on June rs,
1889, when the tide went down and left
them helpless in the mud under the fire
of the Chinese smoothbores.
Capt. Tatnall, the flag officer COM
handing the United States China
squadron, which was anchored of the
bar, nominally guarding American I'M
terests, perceiving the plight of the
British admiral, lowered his barge, and
with his flag lieutenant and 20 men
rowed up the river to show the Eng
lishman how to point his guns. The
flag lieutenant, Stephen Decatur
Trenchard, was badly wounded, and
one man in the barge was killed in pass
ing through the fire from the forts.
Once on board, however, the British
guns were 30 well served by the Amer
leans that the forts were silenced and
Tatnall himself piloted the gunboats
by q channel he had discovered until
they found the protection of the feet
outside.
Tatnall's action was regarded by the
authorities at Washington as tanta-
mount to disobedience of orders, as he
had been strongly cautioned by his
government to, preserve neutrality and
limit his activity solely to the protec-
ton OF Americans. He was detached
from command and brought home,
where he only avoided court-martial
through the great popularity his brave
act gave him. The "blood is thicker
than water" phrase was coined in Eng
lish newspapers at that time, and was
echoed SO vigorously in the American
press that the navy department finally
approved Tatnall's action.

rats have recently been causing great

For years Central Park has been
fairly overrun with rats, but it is only
recently that the rodents have devel-
oped an appetite for elephants feet.
They nibble at the toes of the sleep
ing pachyderms, ,interrupting their re-
pose and causing them much uneasi-
ness of mind and body.
During the last five years." said
Keeper Snyder, fully 100000 rats have
been caught in this park. They have
swarmed about the menagerie and de-
voured the food intended for the ami
mails. One night our traps made pris-
oners of 256 rats. That was our record
catch. Fifty were foundin one cage"
