DON'T HURT HIM."

Il offered Assistance But Will Never Do S. Oh
Thing Again.

Some people have an idea that a po-
liceman is always ready and even de-
lights in using his club or in some other
way being unnecessarily rough when
making an arrest" said an officer as he
tipped his chair back and settled down
into a reflective mood. But as rule. !!
think, kind heart beats beneath the
brass buttons of the policemen and he
is ready always to avoid any roughnoss
that can be avoided in making an ar
rest. The average person does not know
what a policeman has to go through
some times.

fellow was on n spree and was breaking;
things generally in his house. He was a
bad customer and had often given the po-
lice trouble and was never arrested with

as they come to understand the nature
of the amnesty offered them. He said
he hoped that when the work of pacfi-

would be released.
After referring in grateful terms to
the courteous treatment accorded him
by the military authorities he declared
his conviction that the civil govern

would realize the highest hopes of the
Filipino people.
When questioned regarding the hope
that he would visit the United States
he replied that he would like to do so
but had made no plans yet, placing
himself entirely at the disposition of
the United States government.
In concluding the interview he OBJ
served:
Every word in my address to my

auspices to promote the welfare and

questions. He inquired particularly as
to what President Mckinley said. and
seemed anxious to know what was
thought of him in the United States.
He was rather reluctant to talk for
publication and considered every Ques-
ton particularly before answering. He
said he was doing all he could to assist
in the pacificatiOn of the FilipinoS. and
expressed himself as surprised at what
the Americans had accomplished.
When he WAS first captured. he went
on to say. he was greatly astonished to
find that II majority of the Filipnos

A recent importation of foreigners
against which no one will be likely to
take exceptions, except. perhaps, the
natives they have come to destroy, has
been graciously received and welcomed
by the quarantine officer Of the Cali
fornia State Board Of Agriculture at
San Francisco. The newcomers are q
consignment OF taehina flies from
the grasshopper tribe-their wholesale
exterminators, in fact, wherever found.
They came as cold storage passengers
and with them came a large number of
ladybugs, for service in clearing the
orchards of red scale-the pest Of fruit
growers. The flies are to be released
in May. They will make short work

A college professor. reading Lord
Rayleigh's Theory of Sound" few
years ago, became particularly inter-
ested in that part which relates to- the
vibration of cords. He began to study
the waves which travel along a cord
when one end is shaken. and then to
experiment with cords loaded at in
tervals with weights, and vibrating in
air or water. What could he hope to
learn from such Investigations? What
practical results were to be looked for?
He could not tell, nor could any one
else have told Yet he studied the sub
ject for five years. The facts he dis
covered make it probable that tels-
phone communication may take place
under three thousand miles of sea. and
the professor has sold his invention for
nalf million dollars.
