Washington Likely to BE Chosen as
Police Bureau HeadQuarters.
Mr.. William A. Pinkerton, superintendent
OF Pinkerton's detective agency in Chicago,
called on Major Sylvester, superintendent
of police today and had long conference
with him in reference to police matters at
fecting the general welfare Of the country.
Major Sylvester has received assurances
from Colonel Phil Dietsch of Cincinnati,
president Of the board of governors of the
National Chiefs Association that at the
meeting Of the board next month the latter
will vote to remove the headquarters Of the
bureau Of Identification from Chicago to
Washington.
The establishment of this Identification
bureau is regarded as one of the most i'm
portant steps yet taken by the police au-
thorities who interested in the matter.
It's support is contributed to by nearly 100
cities and Chicago gives 1t the use Of two
commOdious rooms at police headquarters.
At the suggestion of Major Sylvester the
District Commissioners have agreed to pro-
vide the bureau with rooms in connection
with the police department, should it be
removed to Washington.
When Congress meets an effort will be
made to get that body to make the bureau
national In its character, tnd its practical
workings will, 1t Is believed, serve as an
object lesson to those members of the ma
tioEal legislative body who take an inter-
est in such matters.

nation, 1t is stated today that the royal
gold plate, including the dinner service for
40 persons, and some thirty dozen plates,
are to be removed to Buckingham Palace.
This dinner service was added to the royal
collection by George w, the last English
monarch whose coronation was followed
by the banquet in Westminster Hall with
all it's mediaeval survivals. Among these
survivals was a notion that Immediately

able to seize them and carry them away.

golden fork was seized by some one, and

booty.
Property is being quietly acquired in
London along the route of the coronation
and an entire years rent, IN some cases
two or three years rent. Is being paid.
No doubt the venture rests upon a secure
basis, always, of course, assuming that the
procession goes exactly as the speculator
relies upon its going. There Is a tendency
in things royal to divert from the road
originally decided upon. 1t has an awk-
ward habit of going around a corner not

Americans have largely influenced En-

that relates to Shakespeare is concerned.
1t was only when an enterprising Ameri-
can threatened to bodily remove the house
at which Shakespeare was born at STRAIT
ford-on-Avon to the other side of the At
lantic that English folks awoke to the ne
cessty of protecting their own classic
shades. The latest suggestion, however,
that comes from American sources is one
that deserves consideration by English
people. 1t Is that a serious movement
should be started toward the celebration
as universal holiday Of the birthday of

We are now within a fortnight of the
date fixed in Lord Kitchener's proclama-
ton for the surrender of the Boer forces
under pain of appropriation. Yet even the
most optimistic jingo will find it hard to
claim that so far the issue of the docu-
ment has had any apparent effect in the
direction intended by it's authors In point
of fact, the number of surrendered Beers
notified by Lord Kitchener since the date
of the proclamation has been considerably
less than usual, that those burgherS who
contemplate submission will have to hurry
up within the next fortnight If the expec-
tations of the war party are not to be to-
tally blasted. OF course, no one who un-
derstands the indomitable character of the
Beers believed at any time that the proc
lamation would result in the surrender of
a hundred additional burghers, but if there
were ever any doubt on the point 1t should
be very effectively dispelled by the events
recorded in Lord Kitchener's own dispatch
es during the past week.
1t is evident indeed that the only prac-
tical result of his latest ultimatum has
been a remarkable increase in Boer activ-
ity in almost every corner of the area of
hostilities. Practically speaking, every re-
port from Lord Kitchener during the week
has been to record Boer success, and
not the least important of these Is the
capture of the train at Waterfall on Satur-
Gay morning. The Boer attack again seems
to have been complete success, and the
fact that Lord Kitchener was unable to
send the number of British losses Is in it
self significant feature of this latest 're-
grettable incident
If Lord Kitchener could only show any,
thing on the opposite side of the ledger
there would at least be something to cheer
the dropping jingo spirits, which at pres
ent are very low, indeed. Perhaps Septem-
but on present appearances the probability

The Wars of the Future.

M. Jean de Bloch contributes a long and
weighty article to the new number of the
Contemporary Review on 1.-THE Wars Of
the Future" He considers that the stead
fastness with which the military class
clings to the memory of a state of things
which has already passed away is pathetic
and honorable, but, unfortunately, 1t Is
also costly and dangerous.
Great is the conservatism of staff off,
GERS, and childlike the trust of rank and
file in the thaumaturgic power Of the past
over the present and the future" NJ
Bloch also declares that the South African
campaign confirms the thesis that war be-
tween great powers Is impossible; that 1t
is incontestable that the role of cavalry
as formidable weapon in warfare is
played out, and that the war has shown
the success is on the side of defense even
when the attack has numbers in it's favor

He thinks England is being very gradu-
ally. almost imperceptibly, drawn toward
the maelstrom of militarism Referring to
militarism on the continent Of Europe, he
says that military men are expected to
watch the approach of grave dangers
without uttering a warning cry. Officers
who possess insight to perceive and cour-
age to condemn errors that may lead to
a national disaster are marked men. Their
criticism Is labeled insubordination, their
demand for reform is confounded with dis
affection and their career is ruined.

The American soldier.

That West Point Is the best military
school in the world is conceded by all
impartial critics. Its methods trans
form the average raw youth into the
honorable, refined and highly educated
officer of our army. He is pre-eminent-
ly taught the habit of command"
which, as rule, he uses without any
of the arrogance shown by officers of
some Of the armies of Europe, notably
that of Germany. He is made to realize
that he commands men who are as SEN
sitive as they are brave and who APP
preciate and respect character COM
bining generosity, kindness, firmness
and, above all else, physical and moral
courage.
These traits Of character are careful
ly cultivated at West Point, with a re-
suit that, besides having the best en-
listed personnel, we have in the United
States army, without question or doubt,
the best trained and most capable gen.
tlemen as officers. - Army and Navy

ments upon insects with Eoentgen rays
A box was made, half of wood and
half of sheet lead. In the wooden half

ties and other insects were placed, and
the box was then put in the field of the

came greatly excited, and after crawl
ing to and fro finally emigrated to a
worm to the leaden half Of the box,
where the rays could not penetrate
The experiment was repeated many
times and always with the same result,

beetle. A number of them We're placed

fully. "All l have to do is to keep at
it,"

An Arctic Bill of Fare.

The Eskimos ut home in their native
frozen wilds do not believe in cooking.
Their meat, be it seal, fish, veniscn.
trout, salmon, whale blubber or cod
fish, they devour in its natural raw
state and with the same gusto with
which the average small boy tackles a
watermelon. AS for bread and vege-
tables, they have none. They set their
seal oil lamps going, suspend a soap
stone dish filled with snow over it, and
with the water thus obtained they mix
an equal quantity of 1nolasses procured
from the Hudson Bay company. That
they drink and are happy. That is the
sum total of an arctic cuisine.

The Cnnphor Tree,

The camphor tree (Cinnamomum cam
phora} is an evergreen. member Of
the laurel family, belonging to the
same genus as the tree whose bark fur
nishes the spice called cinnamon, and
is related to the bay and to the sassa-
fras CT the United States. Of SYM
metrical proportions, it is one Of the no.
blest objects in the forests of eastern
subtropical Asia. In it's native habitat
it attains gigantic dimensions, notably
in girth of trunk, some specimens
measuring 10 to 10 feet in diameter. 1t
is said they have been known to reach
as much as 20 feet, and they may be GO
to over 100 feet high, and live to
great age.
AS rule, they rise 20 or 80 feet with
out limbs and then branch out in all
directions, becoming mass of splen-
did and luxuriant foliage. Their
leaves, broadly lanceolate in form, are
of light green color, smooth and shin
ing above and whitish or glaucous
on the undersurface. Small white or
greenish white flowers are borne from
February to April and by October ripen
into berrylike, one seeded fruits about
three-eighths of an inch in Diameter

Masquernding In the Past.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries Venice set the fashion in all
matters of amusement and was sort
of combination of our Monte Carlo and
Paris. Throughout the eighteenth CEN
fury the Venetians were seized with a
perfect mania for masquerading and
gambling. Paris and London followed
suit, and the two most popular amuse-
ments, both public and private, were
masquerades and gambling saloons.
People not only wore their masks or
visors at balls, but in the Mall and the
parks and the theaters. At length
matters got to such pass that when
a police raid was made on a certain
low dancing place in Soho and an
order was given for every one to I'M
mask what was the amazement Of the
police to find that at least third Of
the company consisted of ladies and
gentlemen of the highest aristocracy,
some Of whom had even brought their

The 1nauisitixe ante,one.

An antelope is as curious as a wom-
an. If the hunter will lie down in the
grass and wave red handkerchief, q
band of antelope will keep circling
around until within reasonable distance
for safe shot. After completing a
circle the antelope halt suddenly and
bring down one fore foot with vigor-
Gus stamp on the ground, and at the
same instant they make sort of snort
that sounds like half whistle. That
is the propitious moment for peppering
them with rifle balls.

man came along and found me crawl
ing for miles on the level prairie en-
deavoring to get shot at one Of the
timid creatures. The man asked me If
l thought could get him. answered.:
"Get him! I've got to get him. I'm
out of meat" He then posted me
about lying still and flirting with the
handkerchief, and found they liked
that better than chasing, and l made
an entry right there that an antelope
possessed some of the characteristics
of woman.-EXchange.

AN EXPLANATION.

If you'll make a diagnosis when you're feeling sad
and dreary,
As you would with any everyday disease;
II you'll simply question science as to why you're
glum and weary
And everything seems dull and i'll at ease,
Perhaps you will discover, after devious calcula.
tions,
the cause of all these symptoms which appall,
And you'll smile you reflect, in spite c. various
irritations,
That it's nothing but the weather after all.
You'll find sigh denoting neither sorrow nor
contrition;
A tear drops not indicative of care.
They products Of the meteorological condi-
ton,
OF extra moisture that is in the air.
So perhaps it's not in reason fortunes chance to
be reviling
Or to vow lfe's store of happiness is small,
For when the sun comes out again, again we will
be smiling;
It's nothing but the weather after all.
