Section 33 of the game act of
June, 1878, provides "that nothing

bird when found destroying grain
fruits or vegetables on his or her
premises. This section has not
been repealed.
BY act of April II, 1901, all own
.ers or lessees of real estate are per-
mitted to kill rabbits at all times of
the year, where said rabbits are de-
stroying crops or fruit trees, and
for no other purpose or reason.
The act of March %. 1899, makes
the constables of the state ex-officio
forestry, game and fish wardens,
and requires them TO prosecute all
violations of the forestry, game or
fish laws coming under their imme
diate notice or reported to them in

LICENSES FOR NoN-REsIDENrs.
BY the act of April "a, 1901, all
nonresident gunners (the same not
being owners of real estate in this
state) are required to pay a license
fee of $40 before shooting in the
state.
The treasurer of the county
wherein the nonresident desires to
begin shooting IS directed to issue a

The insular division Of the war
department was not, when establish
ed, intended to be a bureau for the
promotion of matrimony, but a
glance over its correspondence files
shows that it has been indirectly the
cause Of many marriages, and Col.
Edwards, its capable and courteous
chief, is in doubt as to whether he
deserves praise or condemnation for
the unprecedented results. The
epidemic Of marriage was brought
about by the regulations adopted by
the division for the transportation of
teachers for the public schools in the
Philippines, which provided that
the person directly dependent upon
the teacher might, if practical, be
furnished free transportation upon a
government transport. That was
enough Of hint for a number OF
bright young fellows who had been
appointed teachers, and the division
was at once overwhelmed with APP
plications for transportation for
brides, as ''the person directly de-
pendent upon the teacher" Inas-
much as the teachers alone were a
severe tax upon the transportation
facilities of the government, this was
decidedly embarrassing, but Col. Ed
wards, who is a sympathetic man,
was equal to the occasion and nc
bride was left behind. All records
for the carrying Of brides were brok
en- by the transport which carried
the brides to the Philippines, anC

BY the way, it is officially announced
that all appointments Of teachers vii
hereafter be made by Mr.. Fred w
Atkinson, superintendent of publi
instruction in the Philippines, who's
address is Manila. The announce
ment was made to stop application
being sent to the war department
There will be very few more appoint
ments, anyway, except to fiji vaean
cies.

Evans, in his recently published
book, resulted in the writing and
publication Of a letter Of censure to
Evans by Acting Secretary Hackett.
Evans was doubtless glad to get out
of the scrape so easily, but it is un-
derstood that all Mr.. Chandler wished
was to have the navy department
placed on record as opposing the
right of any naval officer to publicly
criticize the official acts of the secre

in Office or afterwards. This he has
done.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER

From Our Regular correspondent)
WASHINGTON. D. c.. AUG ~, 1901
The United States government de-
clines to get excited over the latest
peanut revolution in Central Ameri-
ca, Notwithstanding the hysteria Of
certain gentlemen who have business
interests over there. We have a
treaty with Colombia by which the
neutrality of the Panama railroad is
guaranteed; and if Colombia cannot
enforce that treaty, this government
will do 50 with its naval forces, as it
has done before. The gun boat Ma
chias has been ordered to proceed to
Colon, the eastern terminus Of the
Panama railroad, and it is believed
that no stronger force will be needed
to protect American interests on the
Isthmus, but as a precautionary
measure, the cruiser Ranger now on
the Pacific coast, has been ordered
gotten in readiness 50 she can be sent
to the Pacific side Of the Isthums
should it be thought necessary. This
government has nothing to do with
the war between Colombia and Ven
ezuela, which seems to have grown
out Of the revolution against the
government of Columbia, and will
not interfere in any way unless it
becomes necessary for the protection
of American interests. That is the
whole story in a nutshell, which has
started all Of the yellow journals to
yawping and predicting that we are
about to become involved in an
European war on account Of the little
rumpus on the isthmus.

who can be duped into believing
them, alleging that the United States
treasury held a large sum in trust
for the heirs Of man who deposited
it there. This time the mans ma me
was given as Dembitzky, Pole,
who was said to have deposited it there
just previous to being killed while
fighting in the Union army during
the civil war. II is needless to say
to those who are acquainted with
the principles under which our gov
ernment is run, that the United
States treasury is not and cannot act
as a trustee for private individuals;
consequently it holds no private fund
in trust, but the ignorant and even
some intelligent persons in our own
country do not know this, as often
as it has been stated in connection
with this sort of thing, and natur-
ally story Of this sort is readily ac-
cepted by the credulous in other
countries, often to their cost.

TO. Grow Rubber Trees In India.

The British government is preparing
to introduce the Mexican rubber tree
into India, and a large shipment of
seeds has just been made to Madras,
where it is intended to devote great at
tention to the propagation Of rubber
in the presidency, writesethe New York
Posts special correspondent at the
City Of Mexico. Mr.. Henry A. Case
has acted as the agent of the British
government in this matter. He has
lived for years in India and has long
believed that the rubber tree could be
successfully grown there. After con-
siderable investigation it was decided
to make the experiment, and the Mex
lean rubber tree was selected as the
best with which to begin.

Interesting Work OF Engineering

The marking of the average height
of the Notwithstanding, that is, the
mean sea level-might seem to be very
simple until the experiment a been
actually tried. One might suppose, for
example, that it could be observed on
the side of a cliff that jutted out into
deep water or on a gradually sloping
beach or by means Of a pole planted In
the water a short distance off shore. 1t
would soon be found, however, that
owing to the daily changes in the tides
and the fluctuations of the waves such
q mark would have to be moved up and
down from day to day, and the mean
sea level would still elude determina-
ton.
There are several methods Of obtain
ing accurate tide measurements, how
ever, from which the mean sea level
may be computed, one of the simplest
being that recently employed at Ma
chias, Me-, by a party from a summer
school of the Massachusetts Institute
Of Technology. The actual measure
ments were made at Towards bay,
about II miles from the town Of Ma
chias-one of the mean sea level sta
lions, also, Of the United States coast
and geodetic survey-by means Of a
glass tube, closed at the bottom except
for a small opening not over one-tWen-
tieth of an inch in diameter, at which
the water might enter as it rose, the
air escaping at another opening at the
top Of the tube. The water enters so
small an opening very slowly-a wave
does not flow into it, only the steadily
rising tide; nor does the inside water
have time to flow out through such an
opening during the depression between
two waves. The water which the tube
contains constantly rises and falls,
therefore, with the tide and is little in
fuenced by the wave action. Since the
range of the tide at Towards bay is
16 feet, the tube of the gauge was built
up Is feet in sections of three feet each
and attached to a beam which was
firmly braced to withstand a storm.
At low water it was possible for the
institute students to approach near
enough to read its record easily, but at
high water it was necessary to make
the reading through a telescope.
This gauge gave the measur" ment OF
extreme high and extreme W tide
from day to day, but in the &C rse Of a
month or from one full moon to anoth-
era period during which the sun and
moon proceed through practically a
complete cycle in their influence on the
ebb and flow OF the sea-an average
could be obtained from which, by the
use Of published tide tables, the mean
sea level could be accurately deter
mined.

he is a celebrated deer hunter and has
the reputation of having never missed
a shot. His pictures with pencil and

Naiche and his people have taken the
best land in Apache county. There are
about $50 Of them, and their aIlotments
are on Medicine creek. Several of the
Apaches have developed into good farm
ers, and their places are well stocked.
Chief Naiche is a careful manager and
has acquired a modest fortune.
