Taboos Importing Obnoxious Animals.

The government has recently caused
a taboo to be pu. upon the introduce
ton of certain noxious animals, there
by preventing them from gaining
foothold here Among the serious and
dangerous pests thus prohibited is the
flying fox, or fruit-eating bat, which
has done great damage to the fruit OF
California 1t is thought that they
have been nearly all eXterminated
through the strenuous efforts or the
fruit growers, though a few haze es-
capped killing and are still at large.
This pest was brought to the United
States several years ago by fruit
steamer from Australia. The genus
includes number of species which
are found in the tropics. Five of these
occur in Australia and about the same
number in New Zealand. These i'm
mense and dangerous animals measure
nearly six feet from tip to tip of wing
and a few of them are capable of de-
atrOying a whole orchard of fruit trees
in a short time. In Australia they
are described as living in immense
camps in the most inaccessible parts
OF the dense scrub. Here they may be
seen by thousands, frequently crowded
s.; thickly on the trees that large
branches are broken by their weight.

IA PREACHERS LABOR OF LOVE

The pastorate of the Rev. Edward
Schnadhorst Of the Roman Road Con-
gregational Church, North Bow, Lon
don, is without any question of doubt
the most unique and remarkable on
record A few days ago general at
tention was attached to Mr.. Schnad
horsts work by mis- celebration, with
appropriate ceremonies, of his forty
third anniversary as pastor of the Ro-
man Road Church. Apart from the
uncommonly long time which Mr..
Schnadhorst has presided over his
parish, the most extraordinary feature
in connection with his work is the fact
that, from the inception until the pres
ent moment, this work has been faith
eully rendered without stipend. Not
one cent of compensation for nearly
half century of trying and untiring
labor has Mr. Schnadhorst ever re-
ceived or requested from his congre-
cation.
Here is Mr.. Schnadhors' own story.
About forty-three years ago." he
said, Il was attending the ministry of
the late Rev. John Davies, of Albany
Chapel, which is now perpetrated in
Tolmer's Square Congregational
Church, Hampstead Road When Mr..
Davies removed to Walthamstow some
of the younger members of the congre-
cation desired me to succeed him. but

equal to the task and you cannot Judge
how glad am now that l did not
yield to the request.

PURiFICATION OF WATER.
Siko!a Tesla Believes II Can lie Done
by an Electrical Process.


Nikola Tesla, who is here arranging
for the manufacture of apparatus for
his wireless telegraph system, has in
terestlng ideas about many things. I'm
doubtedly he is a brilliant electrician,
capable of much useful achievement,
he is highly imaginative, as all original
investigators are of necessity, for there
could be no creation without the crea-
tive mind 1t does not follow that his
imaginings are all vain, not by any
means, though it is natural that his
fancy might take unwarranted flights
to Mars or other objects in remote
space. Mr.. Tesla is especially interest
ed in an electrical process for purify
ing water, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The project is feasible-at least from &
scientific point Of view-and 1t Is to be
hoped he will be able to make it prac-
ticable in both the mechanical and eco
nOmical senses. If the thing can be
done on large scale as cheaply as
water can be filtered 1t will prove
boon to all mankind. In respect to the
water supply Of Pittsburg. however,
Mr.. Tesla's idea is not Of immediate
import He Is engrossed In perfectinK
the wireless telegraph-an Undertaking
that will tax his resources, material
and mental, for some time. Pittsburg
must be content with filtration for the
present. 1t will be glad to get rid Of 9S
per cent of impurities after long ex-
perience in taking Its water unrefned.

that word deserving In all our So

try to help the people who help them

Crooked Pane Of Glass Started CsIlu.ota

Fires that start themselves are much
more common than people generally
suppose. There is a mysterious prop
erty in dust which, under certain con-
ditions, produces violent explosions.
There have been instances In postof-
fees where the dust from the mai
bags, suspended in the air OF closed
room, has exploded with terrific force,
the explosion being followed by flames
Dust explosions and fire are OF frequent
occurrence in drug stores and -four

tailor shops may be traced to the so
called dry cleaning OF clothes. A rag

long ago there passed along Eastern
avenue, in this city. load of hay
which suddenly became enveloped in
fame. The driver was about to horse
whip a boy whom he saw near by
smoking cigarette. People who had
been watching the load of hay driven
along were certain that the boy was
no time within rs feet of the hay. The
fire was clearly shown to have been
caused by the tire of the wheel rub
bing against an iron on the side Of
the wagon, thus producing sparks. In
all manufacturing establishments
frequent cause of fire is the rubbing Of
leather betting against the edges OF
the. opening through which it passes

stubborn fires that ever occurred in
New York city was started by plat
glass window focusing the rays OF the
winter sun upon celluloid collar
which burst into blaze. Metal goods
had been shown in the window before
and therefore the peculiar formation
OF this particular pane of glass neve,
had been discovered. 1t was on Sun
day. and almost before the fire was
noticed half the block was in flames.

they leave the school The crops are
raised by the farm boys who live in the
old George farmhouse and take their
meals In the large dining hall in
the administrat ton building. The din
ing process is pleasant to witness. The
residents of each cottage have a table
to themselves, presided over by their
own special matron. All march in, in
regular order, and take their places
with military precision. They have all
they can eat of good wholesome food
and "show their keeping" The nurse
in the hospital said this week that
there was not one i'll among the
whole 300 boys. The cooking is done
by the boys and when they march
out, after eating, a certain number
are detailed to clear the tables and
wash the dishes. After dinner comes
the drill under an experienced drill
master. They march in excellent or
der and seem well up in military tao
tics They are very proud of their
band which practices at night. When
it is considered that the members are
constantly changing their execution

school and work begin again. Each
boy may have ground for garden
and the difference in the appearance
of the several little mounds gives an
indication of the character of their
proprietors. In each cottage live 30
boys, cared for by a matron. They
have as near an approach to home
life as circumstances will permit.
Five bedrooms are provided. each
with six little iron beds A large
laboratory furnishes opportunity for
cleanliness. Thirty tooth-brushes, 30
towels and other appurtenances of
the toilet are found here. Each cot

the. matron has her own apartments.
The formidable baskets of mending
prove that her position is no sinecure,
for. however well the boys may sweep
and scrub, they are unequal to the
task of setting in position the many
patches that necessity demands. One
room has 80 lockers where the cloth
and most valued belongings of the
proprietors are kept. Each boy also
has locker in the basement for his
toys and those INDISPENSABLE things
which boys everywhere accumulate.

Especial Chicago letter.


TT is an old saying that the Lord
helps those who help themselves,
but the fact remains that too many
are cast upon this world with no
means for taking the preliminary
steps toward self-help. Among the
truest charities are those which aid
our growing citizens to start rightly
and use their latent energies to good
purpose. Some years ago, while con-
nected with the Chicago Humane So
ciety, Mr.. o. L. Dudley perceived the
necessity of providing home and
place of instruction for growing boys
who, not yet vicious, were homeless or
worse, and dependent on the public to
a greater or less degree. If shut up in
reform school for some trivial Of
tense, they were contaminated by the
influence of the criminal element
around them. After much thought
small school was started at Norwood
Park. Some of Chicago's wealthy citi.
zens become interested and from this
small beginning the Illinois Manual
Training school has grown. Mr.. Milton
George donated a farm of 300 acres at
Glenwood, near Chicago, which is es-
pecially adapted to the purpose. For
II years the work has been growing
and to-day 800 boys are receiving in
struction in the various departments
and it is hoped to double the housing
capacity of the institution soon.
Money has been Forthcoming from
time to time until now there are eight
substantial cottages, fine admins
tration building, schoolhouse, manual
training building, chapel and bakery,
all of brick. The chapel, Clancy hall,
was donated as memorial of her son
