The American Museum Of Natural
History is about to send an expedition
into China to study the life and Gus
toms of the Chinese and to collect
chronological specimens, which will bc
exhibited In New York city. The work
will take at least three years and will
be most thoroughly done. At the time
when China was the center of the

lack of Chinese exhibit. \ wealthy
citizen of New York city heard of the

end DIR. B. Laufer of New York city
will spend year in Buddhist tenn
pie near Peking. He will live with the
priests and witness as many of their
religious ceremonies as possible. Dr..
Laufer was n member of the Jesup
north Pacific expedition sent out by the
museum and was in Siberia from 1893
until 1900. He said recently to a New

British The English engineers sim.
ply won't be just with an American
engine. The main differences in the
construction Of British and American
engines are well known. The Amcri.
can engine is the very simplest that
can bc devised. so as 10 make repairs
easy. The single bar frame, as The
foundation Of the American engine is
called. enables the builder To make a
simple machine The English engine is
built with double bar frame. which
necessitates the putting of the cyln-
dcrs inside and causes complex CON
struction Their crank axlcs have caus-
ed number Of bad accidents.
"It Is asserted that the American
builders had a free hand in the mat
ter of design and pattern in the case OF
the Baldwin and Schenectady engines.
They did not. however. The engines
had To Ice built so ms to fit the spread
between platforms on the Midland road,
and that was one disadvantage. IA.
other disadvantage was the require.
mcnt as to the height Of the locomo.
tlvcs. The smokcsthck ON the ordinary
British locomotive is about - inches
shorter than those of most OF the Amer
lean locomotives. and that makes a
great difference in an engines power
The dome and the cab must also b,

"In other words, the engines which

THE BIRMINGHAM
 MUSIC FESTIVAL
Some Notes on the Coming Concert-Mr. Guckenber-
 gers Good Work

Briefly stated, the object of the Bir- mingham Musical Festival is to give the best music in the best way. To do this, it is necessary to bring to the assistance of it's splendid chorus great orchestra and eminent soloists for the performance annually of works worthy of such oc- casions.
 What has been achieved thus far Is familiar to every one, not only in Bir- mingham but throughout Alabama, and should be considered a proud chapter in the history of music in the State.
 The record of works performed during the past two festivals and those to be performed in the next festival, is such a fine one that it compares favorably with festival programmes given anywhere by older societies in cities of ten and twenty times the size and age of Birmingham. Therefore local pride alone ought to urge every citizen and music lover to attend the festivals.
 The present festival with the Thomas orchestra of Chicago assisting, will be difficult to excel, for there are few or chestras in the world which can measure  as good and large as this year, and this is saying great deal. for the local chorus always was good. and true, and the most devoted. inspired and loyal band of sing CTS that it has been Mir Guckenberger' S good fortune to direct in the past twelve years. He is devoted to and proud of his singers. n+
 MT. Guckenberger believes in encourag- ing the best American composers, there fore he has put on this year the Rose of Avontown" for female chorus and so- prano solo and orchestra by Mrs. Beach of Boston. There Is no finer ladies' chorus for four voice parts existing, and 1t Is MT. Guckenberger's opinion that Mrs. Beach easily outranks all lady composers now living, and Is the equal of most male composers.
 This ladies' chorus will be one of the distinct features of the second night s concert.
 The doors at the Auditorium will be closed and the concerts will begin pre- cisely at the minute advertised The admitted until some convenient point in the programme is reached.

PEARL CANTY IS A
 BURGLAR RIGHT
Said to Have Robbed Residences of Prominent Citizens.
 Goes It Alone

A young negro girl named Pearl Canty, about 15 years old, is under arrest charged with burglary.
 If Pearl really took all the things she Is said to have stolen, she Is one of the boldest and most matter-of-fact burglars that Birmingham has seen in long time.
 K. Cornish at Elyton Was entered and a cloak belonging to his little girl was stolen. The burglar raised a window on the porch and effected an entrance. The next day his little son, Redmon Cornish. saw negro woman wearing his sister S cloak He followed her and located the house where the woman lived. He report ed the matter to his father. and he and Deputy Marshal J. N Vaughan watched for the woman and arrested her near Tenth avenue, south, and Fifteenth street. She was turned over to officers Burke and Haygood.
 Pearl Is said to have entered the resi- dence of ex-Mayor VanHoose, on South Twentieth street, and stolen three dresses and a skirt. She is also said to have broken into the kitchen of John W. Tom linson's house and stolen a. ham, some oat meal and stove pan She is also said to have burglarized the residence of Jamea weatherly.
 Pearl is a lone highwayman. She op- crates alone and has no confederates to share the booty.

ONE OF HE BESTfEATURES
Of the Pyramid Pile Cure

Is the fact that 1t cures every form of Piles without one particle of pain. This desirable point is not obtained by the use of injurious opiates which simply deaden and paralyze the nerves of the parts and make matters worse in the long rung But it is done solely by its remarkably healing and soothing effects. And while 1t thus gives immediate relief, at the same time the disease is not merely checked, but radical cure is rapidly ac- complished. And the point we want to make clear is that all this is done with out a particle of pain.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before the public too long and its merits recog- nized by too many people to allow 1t to be classed with the many salves, suppos- itories, pills. etc.. and you run no risk in trying it, as is often the case with new and untried preparations. If you are ever troubled with any form of piles or rectal disease do not forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepared by Pyramid Drug Co.,. Marshall, Mich, and sold by all druggists at 50 cents per package.
