The resumption OF the official inquiry respect
ing the methods Of electric traction OF district
and metropolitan railways is a reminder OF the
naction and delay with which the solution OF
the transit problem OF the metropolis has been
attended. The opening Of the ''twopenny tube"
seemed to impart new impulse TO the move
ment for supplying London with adequate
transit facilities but there has been little prog
ress during the last eighteen months. Only
one extension OF the underground electric sys-
ten has been completed during that period and
other work under construction is advancing
slowly, owing either 10 a lack OF engineering
energy or 10 difficulty in obtaining financial
supplies. A large number of new enterprises
have been retarded by lack OF Parliamentary
authority. Public agitation over the vibrations
caused By the deep level tubes has also been a
serious obstacle 10 the rapid development OF
electric transit schemes, although engineers are
confident that these objections will be adequate

are respecting him and the reputation
he has. l remember a miner once who
was prospecting on the Yukon and who
met bald-face bear on the way. The

and being new in the country started
in to slap the bear with his pick. The

him. When the Siwash Indian goes
out to hunt the bald-face bear he takes
his whole family along. for he stands
in mortal fear of the animal. When
they have located the bear they give
him battle in body. and these battles
are always fierce and frequently dis
astrous to the hunters. One time

there and why. and learned afterward
that a Siwash family that had been

There are two species OF bear in
Alaska besides the bald face-a big
yellowish-brown fellow and a smaller
black bear. All Alaska bears love To

the salmon are running and scoop them

5tra age Ideas OF ECONOMY, Foiiteuesa
and Gratftude.
The spirit OF economy In the. Chinese
race transcends all that can be imag
jned. The smallest particle Of matter
is utilized. The old, cast-of account
book Of the merchant is cut into pisces
and oiled TO serve instead Of glass in
windows or lanterns. A coolie who
has six hours march with a heavy
burden will return to his point Of de-
parture without having broken his fast.
In order to save the two cents his
breakfast would have cost away from
home. Nothing Is more curious than TO
see them eat, although. with their IA
nous chop-sticks. they do not perform
all the wonderful feats generally sup
posed. They put their food IN bowls
or saucers. and with the chopsticks
they raise the pieces Of meat or fish TO
the mouth with sufficient grace. Each
has a bowl OF rice, which ne holds
near his lips. and with the aid of the
chopsticks he pushes the contents into
his mouth It is curious to see them
pick up with their ehopstlcks the grains
Of rice that fall on the ground. The
children are taught this art from their
earliest years; nothing must be lost,
not even the smallest grain.
Europeans regard politeness as an ex-
preston Of those qualities OF the heart
which render the person who desires
to be polite agreeable TO those with
whom he is thrown. The Chinese look
upon the matter from an entirely diff
ferent standpoint The same senti
ment which aecords Importance to the
preservation Of dignity regulates his
actions as regards politeness. Here is
an example of their politeness. A Chi

An FRESHMAN WAS SULkY
SAID CHILLINGWORTH WAS !
SAUSAGE.
Also Declared Lon Agnew to be a
Lobster-Offered to Fight Both for
Arresting Him.

Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth was told
night before last that he was a sausage.
Lon Agnew the well known fighter was
informed that he was a lobster. This
startling information was impaired to
both gentlemen by the same person
who still lives to tell the tale. Delany
is his name
On Wednesday night Delany was
taken into custody on charge of pro-
family. The officers first thought of
placing a charge of intoXication against
him but as his subsequent remarks led
them to believe that he was in his
right senses, profanity was substituted
Delany. was discovered on Fort street
by Chillingworth and Agnew. Delany
was very diminutiYe in statue but he
was spunky. He claimed to be the
champion light weight pugilist of the
world, and he wanted to fight anybody
in it.
AS he was profanely demonstrative
he was escorted to the police station.
There Delany experienced a change of
sentiment and from being loud in his
utterance became grave. Turning to
Chillingworth he said You are a
sausage" To Agnew, he added You are
a lobster. And if either or both of you
will step into the back yard with me
Will lobster you into sausage and
sausage you into a lobster"
High Sheriff Brown was standing
near, listening to the Wholesale chal-
lenge. Delany perceived the tall figure
of the head of the police department
and he thought that some higher com
pliment was due him than had been
paid to the subordinates so ne said
| And you are lobster and a sausage"
BY this time Chillingworth was
slightly nettled and sorely tempted to
have the alleged champion light weight
of the world put on the gloves with
Agnew the eX-champion light weight
but discipline would not permit it so
Delany disappeared unframed behind
the prison doors. The little fellow was
fined $2 and costs by Judge Wilcox
yesterday. He did not venture any re-
marks upon the nature of the court.

LOG RAFTING.

| An Oregon company has conceived
| the project of rafting logs across the
Pacific ocean to Oriental ports. The
practice of shipping logs from the
north to San Francisco by this method
had been in vogue for several years
| past But it is such a perilous under
| taking, at best, that a sense of inse-
| curity possesses all shipmasters en-
gagged in the coasting trade who are
compelled to sail in the track of the
| RATS. Occasionally one of the latter
breaks loose from it's tow and gets
| adrift and becomes a serious menace
to navigation. Several of them have
parted their bonds while i'm transit and
| the logs have been scattered over the
surface of the ocean for hundreds Of
miles, threatening to founder any YES
sci which might run into them. For
| what is known to the contrary, some
of the mysterious disasters to shipping
off the northern coast in recent years
may have been due to collision with
these stray logs. The propriety of APP
pealing to Congress for prOhibitive
! legislation against log rafting along
the coast has been seriously discussed
by shipping men as a measure of self
protection.
| If this plan of shipping timber to
| Oriental ports is put into effect the
!
greatly increased. The log RATS will
necessarily follow the tracks of the big
east and west bound ocean steamships
and cross the paths of the fleet of
| wheat carriers and other craft sailing
TO and from the south. The liberation
of a traffic which thus endangers the
shipping of all nations becomes a sub
ject of international Importance, and
maritime nations in self-defense may
have to come to some agreement to
regulate or prohibit It. In the event of
disaster to a foreign vessel through
collision with a raft leaving these
shores or with any of the logs break
ing adrift from one while attempting
the ocean passage we might be held re-
sponsible for damages. We would GER
tainly be morally responsible for per-
hitting the raft to leave our coast. If,
therefore, prohibitive legislation for this
kind of an ocean cargo is possible, 1t
ought to be enacted.-San Francisco

snow is gathered in felt-covered bas-

1t is sold retailing at l cent a pound.
In Palermo 1t is used for making those

cooks are famous. The right of OBJ
