formerly proposed. tesgels laid down ar
ter 1906 will either be for foreign service

bearing on naval progress, is treated at
length, and 1t is stated that great progress
has been made with this new means of
communication abroad during the year.
particularly in increasing the distances
over which messages can be sent and in
providing means to guard against confus-
ion where messages cross one another. II

With Trolley Magnates to Secure
Possession of Her Streets.
CHICAGO. August 31.-Corporation
Counsel Walker to-day filed In the
United States Circuit Court the city's
reply to the bill of William l.. Elkins.
by which Mr.. Elkins sought to have de-
termined the rights OF the Chicago
Union Traction Company to the north
and west side streets which it claims
to occupy by virtue of the so-called SO
year act of 1865.
The city's reply is general and spe-
cific demurrer, in which the jurisdic-
ton of the federal court is questioned.
The bill asserts that the case is pecu-
liarly and exclusively within the juris-
diction of the State courts.
The franchise under which the Union
Traction Company now operates, ac-
cording to the corporation counsel, will
expire in 1903.

present. however) of a form of this
instrument among the Maidu Indians
of northern California appears
worthy of a brief note. saws Roland
P Dixon, in Science.
The bow as used by the Maidu is a
simple bow of cedar, some 80 feet
in length. at present strung with
wire. but formerly with d fine sinew
cord. In playing the instrument it
is held in the left hand (the thumb
grasping the center Of the bow,
thumb inside and palm facing for
ward). the bow extending horizontal
" to the left. The right-hand end of
the bow is placed in the open mouth,
and the bowstring tapped rapidly
with a small flexible twig held in the
right hand. BY varying the size of

with the aid of the tongue. and by
opening or closing the mouth to a
greater or less extent. notes are pro-
duoed as in a jewsharp. The tones
are. however, very faint. and are audi
bic only at a short distance.
The use of this bow, known as
"kawotone panda," is restricted to
the medicine men or shamans. and
ether persons are rarely allowed to
see and never allowed TO touch the
instrument. The s~acredness of this
bow. the fact that it is used by the
medicine men only in communicating
with and praying to the ''kukini'' or
spirits, and that its manufacture is
accompanied by ceremonial observ-

bow with human blood-a1l seem to

origin The limited ontac of these
Indians with the negro and the place
held by the instrument in the reli-
gious life of the people. here as well
as elsewhere in America. would seem
to initiate against the view that the
musical bow is on this continent the
result of acculturatiOn.

STOOD UP FOR MISSOURI.

Missouri is great among the nations
because of her many bright ions. 9th
er states may beat her on science, po-
etry and song, but few have men of
mighty nerve like the imperial old
state of the middle west, declares an
admiring chronicler in the Macon Re-

turned TO Macon recently from Hot
Springs, Ark. whittier he had been in
quest of relaxation and something TO
drink that would beat Col. ~Lige"
Harps tonics- On the morning after
his arrival, his stock of fve-cent
Missouri filters having run out, he
stepped into a gorgeous establishment
and asked the price of some Havanas.
twenty-five and so cents" respond
ed the afable clerk, without displac-
ing an eyelash.
Druing election times in Missouri
Glenn sometimes went as high as ten
cents when he wanted to do the thing
right. but generally the victims of his
generosity were lucky &c get a flyer.
But he didn't let on. He looked crit
icafiy at the two brands handed out
for his inspection, as if deciding upon
a couple of boxes of the 30-cent kind.
and then said:
Have You any good cigars?"
Why, these are good" said the
clerk.
And only 80 cents apiece" asked
the Missourian. why. up in Missouri
only the kids smoke these cigars. Now.
If you had any imported goods that
you could retail at so or IS cents
straight, and they are a pretty fair
article, ] might get a couple of dozen
on trial. but these cheap goods make
me sick"
The story went around hat a Mis-
souri, millionaire had come to town.
and everywhere Glenn went he could
not fail to observe the awe his ap-
pearance created. It was nice. and he
enjoyed it. In the evening he stepped
into a large hotel to look over the
papers and hat with friends. While
there he gave a street gamin the job
of shining his shoes. 1t was a heavy
one, but the kid did the work all right.
When it was through Glenn reached in
his pocket and inquired the price.
Six bits" said the sinner. A dozen
pairs OF eyes yer directed at the Mis-
~sourian. All wanted TO see whether he
was the real thing or not, and the
Macon man knew it. He put up the -
cents just like a man who had as much
more in his pocket. 1t was pretty hard
to DO, but something had TO be done
to hold up Missouri. A few minutes
after he edged around to the hotel
