To Beautify Washington,

Senator Mcmillan is much inter-
ested in the work of the board that
was appointed last spring to outline
plan for beautifying the city of
Washington by bringing into one
comprehensive chain all the parks of
the city, reclaiming the Anacostia
fats along the eastern branch of the
Potomac. and connecting all the
parks with system of boulevards.
The commissioners visited Europe
during the summer and are now put
ting the finishing touches upon a re-
port to be submitted to congress in
December. The plans of congress
with regard to this park system will
be enlarged, as well as simplified. by
the fact that the recent consolidation
of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore &
Ohio Railway companies will make 1t
possible to remove all the railroad
tracks and bridges that now cross
the mall, leaving clean sweep OF
driveway and park from the capitol
to the white house.

INDUSTRIES OF CONNECTICUT.
Census Bureau Statistics Give Very
Interesting Array Of
Facts.

The census Office has issued state
ment giving the status Of the manufac-
turing industries of the state of Con-
necticut for the census year of 1900
and making comparisons extending
back to 1850. The table shows a steady
growth for all of those years. For last
year the figures are as follows: Cap
ital employed, $314,696.736; salaried
officials, 9,0s1; salaries, 12,2s6.O5O:
average number wage-earners. 176, ,604;
total wages. $s2, 2,7s7. .725; iscellaneous
expenses, sea, 3,0s9, ,S06; cost of materials
used. $1sS.641,219; value of products,
1852 1924, ,1O6.
In 1850 the wage.earners numbered
50,731, the figures given for the last
census therefore showing an increase
of 4,24s per cent. for the half century.
The greatest number of wage-earners
engaged in manufactures at any one
time during the year was 212, 1865, or
over 90 per cent. of the entire popula
tion. The statement also shows that
over 92 per cent. of the entire manu-
featuring product for the state in 1890
was produced in 81 cities and towns.
1t is stated that the capital invested
for the entire state represents the
value Of land. buildings. machinery
ETC., and the live capital utilized. but
that it does not include the capital
stock Of any of the manufacturing cor.
porations of the state.

An accurate measurement of the
commerce of the principal countries of
the world at the present time is afford

The statement is in the form of ia BILE

fact that the fiscal years of the coun-

ton, the statement is in some cases
for six months period, in other cases
for eight, and in other cases for II or

PYTHON SWALLOWS GATOR.
Mig Reptile at Central Park Mem
agerie Makes n Meal Of Cap
tive Companion.

The largest Of the three pythons ir
the Central park IN. W menag
erie felt hungry the other morning
Uncoiling itself from around the tor
of the tree trunk in it's cage in the
monkey house. it crawled over towarc
the tank of water, where three young
alligators were lying asleep. and swal.
lowed the largest one. which measured
two feet eight inches. The snake wa,
eight feet long. The swallowing proc
ess is supposed to have, taken about u
hour.
Jake Cook, the keeper of the monke y
house, entered the building as tn,
snake was completing its meal. H.
reached the cage in time to see the alli
gators tail twitching as it disap
peared from view. The keeper knew
that he could not rescue the victim
without damage to the python. and py
thons are more valuable than ALI
gators. so he notified Superintendent
Smith. of the menagerie. Smith or
dered me other two alliga tors takeI
from the cage, lest the snake swallow
them also. The python evidently di'
not consider one alligator sufficien
for a meal, for he slid into the watei
tank at frequent intervals and searched
about for the others he had pre-
viously seen there. When the snake
| stretched itself on the floor there wa,
an apparent bulge in its middle. an
the outlines Of the alligator could b'
seen plainly.
Superintendent Smith said that th'
python would have its strange meal di
| gested in about a week without an,
bad consequences. He was surprised
at it's conduct. as the two specie o
reptiles live in peace with each othe
in a wild state, and that was why h.
had put them in the same cage.

A NEEDLE IN HEART.
OK Which Lived with Its Vital Or
gan Pierced Through.
Medical Experts Marvel at Discovery
Made ON the Killing of the AMI
mal-Condition was Deemed
Impossible.

Medical science of Chicago is as
tonished over the discovery of a
needle in the heart of an OK killed
at Swift & Co.'s packing house. 1t is
the first foreign substance ever
known to have found place in the
heart of living animal. The needle
had been there for at least seven
months, according to the statement
of local physicians, before IL was dis
covered. The animal seemed to en-
Joy the best Of health at the time
he was led to the slaughtering pen.
The organ with the needle embed.
ded in the muscles is now In the pos
session Of local medical college. II
Is to be taken before the Cook Coun'
ty Medical association for special ex'
animation and discussion. 1t has been
photographed and eastern colleges
and associations have requested that
II be sent to them for further investi
| cation and study.
When the discovery was made sew
eral days ago the heart was taker
directly to DR.. Frances Dickinson
and she examined 1t, in company will
DIR. Evans, pathological expert of th'
Cook county hospital. 1t was ther
placed in alcohol, and since has beer
regarded as the greatest curiosit,
of the age among medical men.
"The needle, after having worked
it's way through the animals flesh,
said DR.. Dickinson. "entered the hear
at the top near the aorta. It evident
ly travelled through the muscula
part of the heart the entire lengtl
to where 1t was found imbedded nea
the bottom. The tissues about tn
heart were hardened and incrusted
showing that It had been stuck ther
for many months. The fact that tn
needle worked its way through tn
heart by remaining in the muscle
saved the OK from death. It is q re
markable discovery and probably tn
only one of the kind on record"

President Roosevelt Insists That Em-

Punctuality will be the order of the
day at the white house hereafter, and
it is quite certain the employees there
will not keep the president waiting

afternoon after waiting fully half an
hour for his carriage, which did not
arrive.
Tiring of the delay, the president
hurried downstairs. through the Tif-
fany doors, to the portico and de-
manded that his carriage should be
on hand promptly. He entered the
modest government equippage used
by Secretary Cortelyou and drove
off.
The president mad an appointment

for the vessels of the squadron will
stop at Charleston for four days dur

Porto Rico, the Isthmus of Panama,
Colombia, Trinidad island, on the
northeast coast of Venezuela, and the
Danish West Indies.
The squadron will coal at Newport
News and take on provisions at Hamp-

stop at Charleston, proceed directly to
Havana, where it is scheduled to arrive
on Dece mber IL. After a five-days'
