Officer Obeyed His Orders.

An amusing story, in which Lord
Roberts had a share, comes from
Bloemfontein. While the commander
in-chief and his family were in the
capital of the Orange River State,
guard was detailed to see that no enc
my approached their temporary abode.
One night a young militia officer had
command of the guard, and, proud of
the trust, gave especially stringent di-
rections to his men, and then retired
to his guardroom. He was sent for
in great haste, after time, and found
Lord and Lady Roberts and their
daughter being ''held up'' by sentry
with fixed bayonet. The commander
and his family had gone for a walk,
and the sentry, not recognizing them,
refused them admittance until his
commanding officer came. Lord Rob
erts is said to have been much amused
and to have commended the young Of
ficer heartily for his strict discipline.

Cape Nome
a FrdUd....

So. many stories Of the wonderful
richness of the mining sands of Cape
Nome have been published that the
account Of Walter Kane, who works
for one of the transportation compan-
les, and who certainly has consider
able knowledge of the state Of things
there, will be received with bewilder-
naent. According to Mr.. Kane, who
has just reached Tacoma, Cape Nome
is a good place to keep away from.
He says: s..-. .
ANY man who is making a living
here who would go up there is the
next thing to crazy. 1t is nothing
more than a transportation scheme,
and the proof of it is in the fact that
Of all the steamers that have come
down from there now, after miners
have been working for more than
year, no gold has been brought down.
When the Klondike was discovered
and the first steamers came down they
brought the gold, That talked for it
self. But no gold has been brought
down from Nome.
Nome is the most desolate country
on earth, and when you see scores of
women wandering ainlessly about the
streets weeping and Wringing their
hands, without knowing how they are
going to live If they stay there, or
how they are going to get out, it

A. GREAT STAR MAP

the World. 4
At a congress held at Paris in 1887,
it was decided that the end of the
nineteenth century should see the
making of great catalogue of all the
stars in the sky, upon a scale of COM
pleteness and precision SURPRISING any
thing previously attempted. It is i'm
possible to exaggerate the Importance
of such work; for upon our star cat
alogues depends ultimately the entire
structure of astronomical science. The
work was far too vast for the powers
of any one observatory. Therefore
the whole sky, from pole to pole, was
divided into eighteen belts or zones of
approximately equal area; and each of
these was assigned to a single observ-
atory to be photographed. A series
of telescopes were specially construct
ed, so that every part of the work
should be done with the same type of
instrument. AS far as possible, an at
tempt was made to secure uniformity
of methods, and particularly uniform
scale OF precision. To cover the entire
sky upon the plan proposed, no less
than forty-four thousand one hundred
and eight negatives are required;
and most of these have now been fin
ished. The further measurement of
the pictures and the drawing up of a
vast printed star catalogue are also
we'll under way. One of the partici-
pating observatories, that of Potsdam,
Germany, has just published the first
volume of it's part of the catalogue. 1t
is estimated that this observatory
alone will require twenty quarto
volumes to contain merely the final re-
suits of it's work on the catalogue. AL
together not less than two million stars
will find a place in this, our latest di-
rectory of the heavens

Dorothy Of Il1gledew's
Revenge.

The harvest moon climbed slowly up
the cloudless sky, shining white and
clear on the sleeping town at Tun-
bridge Wells. The silence of night was
on the sleeping town. Two women,
closely cloaked, crept stealthily along,
the elder demonstrating
TITS great risk you run, mistress, -
she whispered. *S>>.. s*=~. r.
If you fear to come with me, Betty,
I go alone
Nay, madam, my fears are not for
myself. l know my place better than
to leave my mistress alone to meet
wild Sir Harry Fortescue." =
Meanwhile pacing slowly backwards
and forwards in the shadow cast by
high banks half hidden by bramb1es,
man Waited their approach. AS the
women came into sight he advanced
to meet them --. i
1T is but five minutes by the clock

"A. thousand, as you will, sweet
heart! But can you not say them as

The moonlight fell full ON the group,
as the woman stopped and threw back
her hood. and it shone on her pale
set face. Seeing it, Sir Harry faltered
and tapped uneasily on the lid of his
snuffbox. It did not seem much like
the look to be expected on the face OF
romantic girl who had so easily fall

way match.

has been brought down. One vessel
that was reported to have $4,000 of
Nome gold, I happen to know, only
had $4,000, and that was taken on at
st. Michael, from up on the Yukon.
l never saw a more despondent lot of
people in my life than I saw on the
beach and along the ten-mile-long
street of Nome. Suicides are common,
not quarter Of them being reported
to the outside world, and there are
hundreds of men and good many
women and children there that do not
know how they are going to live
through the week. The government
will have to bring them out. There
will be great :. amount of suffering
there unless something is done at
once 4 @s
The chief benefit accrued to the
transportation companies. Take the
Robert Dollar, for instance. She was
built for about $4,000. She was char
tered by a company at $4,000 per
month. They loaded her with over
1000 tons of freight, at an average OF,
say $50 per ton, and 800 passengers, at
from SIS to s125 apiece, say s1Oo apiece
on an average. That makes about
5000 receipts for the trip up, II she
brought nothing back. This Is more
than enough to pay for the ship and
her expenses and all in one month
Take a big ship like the Tacoma, or
Olympia. that carried 600 or 800 pas
sengers and 1000 orN3,0OO tons Of
freight, and makes the run in nine or
ten days--you can see what proft

RIVERS ARE TREAcHERoUs,
In Times Of Frsshet They Frequently
ID Change Their Course.

In Times Of Frsghet They Frequently
u Change Their Course.
/: The rivers of China, like the people,
are extremely treacherous. They have
no fixed channels, but move in the i'm
petuous foods that come pouring
down from the mountains in the rainy
season, sometimes as much as 100
miles from their old beds, leaving the
Intervening tracts buried deep under
the sand, destroying life, making
desert of cultivated fields over an area
OF many hundreds of miles, and plum
glng the farming population into terri
bic poverty and famine. The enor-
nous canals, constructed by the gov
ernment to correct the evil, have been
OF no avail in this direction, although
they have formed in the past great
waterways crowded with craft, along
which supplies of food and merchan-
disc can be carried to the markets at
trlf1lng cost. Modern engineering.
when the breakup of China comes,
will ind the subsection of Chinese
rivers a problem that will challenge
all its genius and perseverance, and it
may accomplish here what it has
failed to do with other great streams
where the alluvial soil is carried down
by the current to block the mouth and
place tantalizing obstacle in the way
OF navigation. The Pei-ho is as crook
ed as a pennon flying in the wind
and the present lowness of the water
is due to the long drought that has
prevailed in the high lands to the
north, where it rises. Two years ago
steamers that now anchor at Taku,
twenty miles or more down stream,
ran to Tientsin, where they could take
their cargo and where passengers
could go on board comfortably and
conveniently. The change. under the
present circumstances, constitutes the
chief difficulty in reaching the capital.
For at Tientsin the passenger landing
at Taku must change cars, continuing
the journey to Pekin from the former
point.

Quite often insane people imagine
they are certain animals or even pieces
of machinery. Occasionally there is a
case in which the unfortunate thinks
he is steam engine, and he goes along
the highway at full speed, his arms
giving limitations Of the flying drive
wheels Of the locomotive. It was only
a year or tive ago that a man over On
Milwaukee avenue was possessed with
the idea that he was the Lincoln Park
elephant. He got down On his hands
and knees and before anyone was
aware that he was insane he had chill
dren piled all over his back and was
crawling up and down the street Civ
ing the little ones a free ride.
A few years ago homeless wanderer
suddenly went insane On South Clark
street. He at once became possessed
with the idea that he was an Indian
cigar sign. So with one hand lifted
high in the aid as if it were holding a
tomahawk and with the other posed in
front Of him as if holding bunch of
cigars the man took up his station in
front of tobacco store. He stood there
stolidly for nearly an hour and half.
1t finally required the services of three
policemen to remove the cigar sign to
a patrol wagon bound for the detention

New King of Italy,

1t is pleasant to hear good things

kings feet and the next are ready to
slap his face. As it appears llssW, !,
ltaly's better feelings are in the as
cendent and SO, instead of falling into
revolutions, she is prepared to stand
by her monarch and insist on law and
order. They also say that, when the
Prince of Naples, Victor Emmanuel
had no sort of a chance to show abil-
lty, for, at the least sign of self-as-
sertion or independence of character,
he was extinguished by his father and
the minister in power It is hoped
now he has become master of his own
affairs and ruler of 3O,o00,0O0 people,
that he won't go too far in the re-
verse direction. King Humb bert never
did anything brilliant for the country,
but he was kind and good as mon
archs go, and won the love of those
capable of attachment and loyalty to
the head of the nation. His son, it
must be confessed, has a hard row to
hoe. But he is an accomplished young
man with tastes that do him no dis
credit and an excellent education. He
