in instances of barren workings, prove

the racial trait Of conservatism, crops

the common passion for taking long
chances on anything that may promise

The leading Chinese in the colony
have demonstrated that, under liberal
government, help for commercial and
industrial progress may be expected
from them. They want the best that
offers, and are becoming yearly more
eager for it. Their attention is turning
toward the United States as an indus
trial guide, and since they will control
as in the past, the bulk of exports and
imports, the great mass of labor will
be apt to follow their directions if it
may not seek it. This part is par ex-

Influences proceeding from here may be
expected not only to govern conditions

from which emigrants set forth. No
more Chinese arrive here than can be

The experience of British North Bor-

immigration and can never get enough,
would seem to indicate that the labor
overflow from China is not likely to be-

RAT CATCHING IN MANILA.
A Successful Trap Consists of a Small
Boy With a Big Snake.

A Successful Trap Consists of a Small
Boy With Big Snake.
Have you seen the big snake and the
small boy? Well, they will be around
to see you. 1t is a displeasing eombina-
4 ton, but one whose aims possess
quadruple qualites-may be llkened to a
game of cards-high. Jack and the
game. The mission of boy and snake is
| high--the conservation of the public
health, the calling low--the catching of
rats, the boys name is Jack-and the
game? Well, it is both rodents and
bounty.
The manner in which the boy,
through the snakes exertions. comes in
possession of rat and bounty is unique.
The boy, with the reptile on his arm
and gunnysack in hand, enters the
court of a residence. and usually, after
much palver in corrupt language, Sc
cures permission to begin the crusade,
With vigilant and keen eye he inspects
the premises In this inspection he dis

acute--the gan1in can discover rat
hole quicker than a semi-nude savage
on the firing line, hot in escape from
American occupation and American SOL
diery
But the finding by Jack of one hole,
while it pleases, doesn't satisfy his am
bition-he wants to find two-one of en-
trance, the other of egress, When he
has located to his satisfaction the two
holes he uncoils the repulsive creature

crafty dexterity places the net over the
reptiles head and securely fastens it

This done, the snake resumes its
arm hold and is conveyed to one of the

The small embrowned boy runs to the
other hole, with an anxious, What-will

Sometimes the boys face gows with
capitalistic triumph for a number of
rats scamper into the bag; sometimes
neither rats nor snake appear and the
boy feels bad. Nothing remains for him
to do but wait. He does SO, and his
patience is finally rewarded by the ap-
pearance of the snake, whose hunt has
been without quarry.
The boy is so small and the snake so
big that he has grown lopsided in car

DEATH OF A ROYAL ANT.
For IA Years She Was Cared for by Sir
John Lubbock

For IA Years She Was Cared for by Sill
John Lubbock
Sir John Lubbock the distinguished
naturalist, succeeded in preserving two
ant queens of Formica fusea to a great
age one of these having reached the
vast antiquity Of over IA years. Her
longevity was due to the careful pro-
lection extended by Sir John and his
attendants; for it is true of emmett
| herds, as we'll as domestic animals, that
they thrive under human protection AS
I greeted Sir John one morning, in re-
sopnse to an invitation to breakfast
with him and some of his friends, ] in

ancient queen, writes DR. Fl. c, McCook.

land / have not yet told even my wife
about it, for | dare say she will feel as
badly over the loss as I do
Perhaps this may seem trivial to the
ordinary lay mind; but to Sir John and
to the writer, it was a matter of some
moment, for it ended one of the most
interesting experiments as to the pro-
longed life Of invetebrate creatures
that the world has ever known.
May 1 see the queen?" I asked.
YES; she is Just her in the adioin~
ing room"
Turning aside from the waiting COM

the dead queen. She was in one of the
chambers or open spaces, excavated by
the workers within one Of the artificial
formicaries which Sir John had pro-
vided. She lay on her back with her
six legs turned upward and bent in the
rigor of death. A crowd of workers
surrounded her. Some were licking her,
as though in loving care of her toilet.
One would nip as antenna. another a
leg, and thus by various solicitations
they sought to arouse her. 1t was Gu
rious and touching as well, to watch
their methods Of expressing their mani
fest emotion
"They have not yet accepted the
fact" said Sir John, that their queen
is really dead. Indeed, I double if they
are fully persuaded thereof They have
been surrounding her, and trying to get
some response from her ever since she
died. And thus it was still when we
left the royal death room -Independ-

IRREGULARITIES OF INDIAN MJr-
SIC

The songs of the Indians are widely
different from each other in their mean
ing, and therefore the spirit of each
should lead to a keen specialized har-
monte presentation. Thus we are driv-
en- to chromatcs and modern effects in
harmony in order to represent those va
rious feelings charcterizing, for the In
dian himself, the various emotions UNI
DERIVING the different songs, And at
the same time a heightened art value is
gained, in that each song thus harmon
lied will have a distinctive character,
and will never be confused with any
other song. There is a wealth of pow
erful elemental folk expression about
US, as yet but little known, which pos
sesses the poetic qualities, the freedom
from conventionality the suggestive
ness necessary to form an element
which shall be OF the greatest value in
contributing to a more forecful native
music than that which we now possess.
Willingness on the part Of students to
approach with sufficient reverence the
deeper religious or legendary meanings
underlying the Indian songs and all the
customs of Indian life. and willingness
on the part of the Indian to impart
these meanings to those capable of rev.
erencing and appreciating them. would

FIGuREHEADs AGAIN.

Is there to be revival of the ancient
and long-enduring figurehead on the
ships of civilized nations? If so, the
emperor of Germany will receive credit
for the renaissance, for the Meteor
bears at its bow the head of an eagle.
This is indeed a departure from pres
ent custom, for figureheads have for
years been growing less and less in
number, until now they have nearly
disappeared. This is a great chance
from the days when ship was JUS as
certain to have figurehead as to have
a bow.
A ship was originally looked on as a
thing of life and the universal custom
was to place eyes in it's bow, so it
could see. The Chinese yet retain this
custom.
The bow of the ship was the hon
ored point for 1t was consecrated to the
gods, and there, at the point of entree
to the water, was and is performed the
launching ceremony, which was intend
ed to propritiate the gods and insure
safety to the ships when she should
trust herself to the uncertainties of the
winds and the waves, The votive Of
fering made to these gods is still OBJ
served in our custom of breaking over
the bow of a ship a bottle of wine.
We cling long to beathen and super
stitious ceremonies, but the demands
Of the gods are very much modified
when they are satisfied with a bottle of
wine instead of demanding human sac
rifice, as they did in the days of our
Morse ancestors, when living men were
attached to the rollers of the launching
ship, and red blood, instead of our
modern red wine, was poured into the

29D ENGINEERS, N. G. N. Y.
FIRST MILITIA ORGANIZATION OF THE
KIND IN THE COUNTRY

The officers Of the 22d Regiment have unani-
mously voted in favor of having the command
changed from an infantry to engineer regt
ment and the move is heartily indorsed by all
the enlisted men of the regiment, and will also
receive, it is understood, the approval of Major
General Charles F Roe. to whom the applica-
tion was forwarded yesterday
The engineers are the highest branch of the
military service, and demand a particularly
high grade of intelligence among officers and
men. The 22d is held by the military authori-
tant work of a regiment of engineers. and for
this reason its application will be approved.
1t will be the only regimental organization of
this character in the National Guard Of the
United States.
Its new duties will a vast amount of sci
entifc work. embracing the construction of per-
field Notifications and earthworks, mining and

sary than formerly by reason of the increased
range of small arm fire
Arrangements to be made to have the regi-
ment instructed at the army post at Willets
Poinnt. under supervision OF regular army en-
gineers, instead of performing camp duty at
Peekskill formerly.
The new uniform of the regiment will be prac-
tically the that worn by the engineer
organization of the army, and VIII consist OF
dark blue coat, with scarlet and white trim
mings. sky blue trousers. and the usual head
dress.
Although organized as an engineer regiment
the 22d will not discard its infantry drill and
the OF the rifle and it will be as fully in
structed in rifle shooting IN the 1uture as IN
the past. The expense 1or its maintenance as
an engineer regiment will be no greater than at
present
Colonel Franklin Bartlett who commands the
22d, said yesterday:
THE officers have voted unanimously for the
change, and it is felt that this step will supply
an urgent need of the present time. and will be
of great benefit to The State"
