showing evidence of stopping, and
when the great question:: will you?
was about to be put it was clearly
seen by the spectators that the over
training of the all-white was liable
to tell on her, while the superior bone
and sinew of the all-black looked as
if it was going to carry him under the
wire a winner. The critical moment
arrived, and when the great question
was asked the all-black assumed COM
mand and took the lead by replying in
q voice that came near curling up the
rag carpet in the center of the course:
4 win!' At this point it looked as If
the all-black would surely romp home
all alone and win in a canter, but, to
the surprise of the talent, the all
white responded game and true to the
nudges she got, and when it came time
for her to declare herself she replied
in tone as firm. if not as resonant, as
that in which the all-black had made
his bid for the big end of the purse,
and from then on II was a ding-dong
finish right to the wire. AS they

MONSTER COBRA MOUNTED.
Valuable Addition TO the Collection
At the National Museum at
Washington.

There has just been received at the
national museum from the New York
Geological park monster king cobra,
only equaled in size in this country by
the one still remaining alive in New
York. These snakes generally meas
ure . scant six feet, but the one here
is over IL feet long. 1t is otherwise
q remarkable specimen, and much VAL
ued by the experts at the museum.
The skin has been removed and put
into alcohol and the skeleton mounted
for the other department of the mu-
scum.
This species of the cobra is exceed
ingly rare, and the two, the one just
presented to the museum. and its
mate, still in the Geological park in
New York, could not now be replaced.
On account of the thousands Of
deaths in India annually, the govern-
ment of that country has offered a
small premium for the head of each
poisonous snake, and this has led to
the partial extinction of the cobra,
and the king cobra was never much
in evidence. There is, however. only
/ q low class of Hindoos who will en-
gage in the killing, as the cobra is res
garded by the natives with supersti-
tious reverence, as a divinity power
full to injure, and therefore to be pro-
pitiated. Thus, often, when found in
their houses it is often fed and pro-
tected, or gently captured and carried
to distance, where it is released un.
injured. 1t is the snake of mythology
the one used by the famous Indian
jugglers OF snake charmers. and i.
otherwise interviewer with the lives
and history of that people.
Many of the deaths from the bite ot
the cobra might be prevented, were
the people not fatalists, who. simply
lie down when bitten, believing that
no matter what is done, they mus
die.

DR.. d. X. Pearsons, the famous Chi

St. Louis the other day en- route to
Springfield, Mo-, where he gave away
some more of his.wealth for the bene-
fit of educating the poor young men
and girls. While in ST. Louis he made
the remarkable statement that he is
not a benevolent man. Said the doc
tor: 81 am not benevolent man. I
am the most economical. clOse-fsted
man you ever put your eyes on. You
cam tell it by my face. It's there. I
never went to horse race or foot
ball game or baseball game in my
life. What am doing is done on busi-
ness principles. After practicing rigid
economy for 70 years, asked myself
what I should do with my money. I
couldn't carry it out of the world in
my dead hands, and coffins were not
made to carry money in. For that rea-
son I turned my attention to 16 diff
ferent colleges. I did not establish
new ones. We have enough. WANTED
to provide a place for the poor boys
and girls in the colleges and that is
the reason I have been giving my
money away.

ZOLAREGAINS RANK IN LEGION
Restoration of His Cross in Legion OF
Honor Is Due to Recent AM
nesty Decree.

Emile Zola has been restored to his
rank of officer of the Legion of
Honor, of which he was deprived at
the time of his sentence in connec-
ton with his championship of Capt.
Dreyfus, sentence which, it may be
remembered, compelled him to seek
refuge in England to escape impris-
onment.
His restoration to the Legion of
Honor is consequent upon the decree
of amnesty passed by the legislature
recently, and he has just received
from the council of the order official
notice of the restoration of his cross.
The ex-prisoner Of DEVILS Island
had quarreled so bitterly with Col.
Picquart, who sacrificed his brilliant
military career to champion his
cause, and with Maitre Labori, who
SO eloquently defended him at the
court-martial of Rennes, being shot
for his pains, that they are no longer
on speaking terms with him.

BEATS SUGAR CANE.
Beets Produce More Than Half
Sugar Crop Of World.
Rapid Development in the Industry
Since 1S4O Consumption of
Sugar IL Fully Eight Times
as Much as IN 1870.

The rapidly increasing share of the
worlds sugar consumption which is
supplied from sugar beets is pointed
out by publication in the Monthly
Summary of Commerce and Finance,
just issued by the treasury bureau OF
statistics. Under the head of "The
Worlds Sugar Crop of 1907 it shows
that the total beet sugar production
of that year was 5,95o,000 tons and
the cane sugar crop 2,s50,000 tons,
more than two-thirds of the worlds
sugar supply being thus produced
from beets. This statement is fol-
lowed by a table showing the cane and
beet sugar production in each decen-
nial year beginning with 1910 and the
percentage which these rival sugar
plants have in supplying the sugar
consumption of the world. This
table shows that in 1910 beets sup
| piled less than five per cent. of the
worlds sugar consumption; by 1856
they supplied over IA per cent; by
1870, "a per cent: by 1890, over 63 pei
cent, and in 1900, 67.71 per cent.
The growth of sugar consumption
| Is also SHOWH d ~

crop of the world was only 1,150.00(
tons: in 1870. 2.416.oOO tons; in 1890
5.7O2.OOO tons. and in 1900, s.s0O,OO'
tons. The worlds population has nj
more than doubled during the g.
years. probably not so much; yet it,

The article in question begins witt

to the effect that but a single factor.
in all the United Kingdom now re
fines cane sugar. all the others beini
exclusively occupied in preparing TO
the market the raw product of tn
beet farms of Germany, France, Aus
tria and Russia.
The worlds consumption OF suga
in 1900 was 100000 tons.

worlds production of beet and can
sugar at decennial periods from 1874
to 1900 and the percentage which bee
