The new post on Victoria island was
at first called Fort Camosun, and con-
sisted of the usual log structure, sur
rounded by high palisades, with bas-
tions at each corner. With this ,rudely
constructed stockade began the COM
hercial life of Victoria. So long as
Victoria depended upon the fur trade
for its sustenance and growth the rude
stockade served it's purpose. but with
the discovery of gold in British Column
bia in the summer of 1858 came thou

post their headquarters, and relied

CARE OF THE. HAIR. 3
How to Prevent Badness and Pre-
mature Grayness.

How to Prevent Badness and Pre-
mature Grayness.
The reason there are more bald heads
among men than women is that the
mans nat, with it's tightness around
the head, seriously tnterferes with the
circulation of the blood through the
scalp, thus affecting the nourishment
of the scalp and hair, says the New
York Press. The. roots of the hair
need to be exercised to give them
strength and the scalp exercised to
keep it elastic and loose. A woman's
hair is exercised in the dressing. The
pulling keeps the scalp loose.
If women should cut their hair and
wear their hats as tight as men do,
there would be as many bald women
as men. Men should wear light hats
and wear them no longer than is nee
essary, changing the hats position to
relieve the pressure and to give the
fresh air access to the scalp.
If the hair seems weak, do not cut it
as closely as you have before Pull it
daily to strengthen the roots and slim.
ulate the scalp. Wash the hair only
once month. The frequent washing
robs the roots Of the required nourish-
ment. The scalp should receive scrupu.
lous attention, and if the best bristle
brushes are used night and morning
the practice not only will help to keep
the hair and scalp clean, but will give

open the oil glands and .nourish the
roots. -.
Rinse the hair after washing three o.
four times thoroughly, dry and give
sun bath. If the hair is naturally dry,
dip the fingers in pure olive oil for the
massage. To promote healthy condi.
ton of the hair and prevent badness
and premature grayness nothing equals
massage.
The movement used in massage for
the scalp is simple. Place the thumbs
at the base of the skull and use the
four fingers of each hand with which
to knead firmly. Push the fingers into
the scalp forward and at the same time
in q rotary movement, kneading firmly
up over the crown Of the head and
from the temple in like manner, COW

Great Chance For Airships.
The prize of 100000 offered by the
special committee on aerial navigation
at the st. Louis worlds fair has
brought number Of inventors into the
field, and there is ne doubt that the
competition will be much greater than
had been supposed. David B. Page of
Chicago is one who will try for the
prize for successful flying machine.
He thinks that all experiments hereto
fore made in aerial navigation have
been along the wrong lines and that the
successful flying machine will not be
balloon shaped, but will rely on over
coming gravity by motion as the spin
ming top overcomes gravity by its mo-
ton and stands erect. KS. % f..

or more equally divided on small
body will be used to carry the machine,

ed by gasoline and hot air engines. The
framework is made Of aluminium, and

THE MAYOR ON BRIDGES

Mayor Low is undoubtedly right in his belief
that the true function Of interborough bridges
and tunnels is TO form railroad thoroughfares
The time for stub trains is past. So also is the
time for terminals at either end of our river
crossings. Through trains must run from the
various parts Of Brooklyn, Queens and The
Bronx, not to the confines or merely to the CITY
Hall OF Manhattan. but through its whole
length To accomplish this the railroads now
in operation should, as the Mayor suggests be
encouraged to acquire the right to use the new
crossings as mere links In systems of through
traffic. If trains over the Blackwell's Island
bridge could be brought downtown on the Sec
ond-ave elevated line, a step would be taken
for the development Of Queens far more i'm
portant than the mere opening up OF line to
the Manhattan end of that bridge. Likewise
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is the
natural operator Of the Williamsburg and the
new Manhattan bridges. and of the latest pro-
posed tunnel Their usefulness would be great
ly increased if that company could form some
traffic connection with traction companies in
this borough, so that its cars reaching this side
of the river might continue on TO various points
in this island; in this way ali congestion of
transferring would be avoided.
When, however. the use of bridges by rail
roads is considered, the question of rentals
arises. The Mayor wisely says that we should
look ahead in building bridges, and see that the
necessary connections will be available to make
them properly useful. If the connections are
not to be available, not to be available on
fair terms the city might better not build the
bridges but should use its money to develop
connections that the railroads can afford TO
pay for. doubt expressed a few days ago BY
persons connected with the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company of any wish on its part to bid
for second tunnel under the East River sug-
gests the uncertainty Of that companys willing
ness TO pay any proper rental for the much
more expensive bridges. That question ought
TO be settled before any more money is appro-
priated to the Manhattan bridge. The Will
iamsburg bridge is nearly finished and the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit will inevitably run over
it practically on its own terms Only so can
the bridge reach it's greatest usefulness. The
company will be in position to dictate Either
the structure can be used for antiquated stub
trains or opened TO its through trains for what
ever it chooses to pay.
Now. if the city goes on and spends $4,000
600 for the Manhattan bridge and its ap-
proaches without bargain the same helpless
ness may affiict it. The Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company can alone make the best use of
crossing on the lines laid out, and unless it will
pay an adequate rental for the bridge the plans
should be changed and tunnel should be sub
stltuted for which more nearly adequate rentals
could be secured We have heretofore con-
uasted the merits of tunnel and bridge at that

CONSIDERING THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

Matters Of peculiar interest to those who are
working for the betterment of cities from the
aesthetic point of view will be discussed at the
sixth annual meeting Of the American Park
and Outdoor Association. to be held IN Boston
from August 20 August 4. The programme in
cludes addresses by such we'll known leaders in
civic improvement as Edwin A. Fisher presi
dent of the American Society of Municipal I'm
provements; Frank Miles Day, of the American
Institute of Architects; n. X. Bush Brown, of
the Architectural League of America, and John
De Witt Warner. president of the New-York
City Art Commission and the Municipal Art
Society. President Eliot Of Harvard will speak
on THE Popular Utilization OF Public Reserva-
tions,' and the question what Is Municipal
ArtT' will be answered by Charles Muford
Robinson, the author of The improvement of
Towns and Cities" topic of present local
interest will be treated by r. ]. Crosby of
the United States Department of Agriculture
in his paper on "The School Garden Move
ment' Park administration in all its phases
will be discussed by experts from different
parts of the country. A special feature of the
meeting will be the exhibitions connected with
it, which will include maps and photographs of
parks and landscape designs, of school gardens
and examples Of artistic billhoards.
The continued activity of the associations
which will be represented at this gathering. as
well as the actual work already accomplished
by them, is full of promise of a time when the
utility of beauty shall be generally recognized
by those who administer the government of our
cities. That the interest Of the present New
York administration in such matters is not
merely academic is evidenced by the fact that
Park Commissioner Wilcox will attend next
weeks sessions.

TOO MANY DELAYS.

The swift progress in the subway work, which
is so gratifying 10 public spirited taxpayers
finds a marked contrast in the delays on the
new dam in the Croton Valley and the Jerome
Park Reservoir. 1t is true there have been engi-
neering changes OF large degree since these en-
terprises were begun, but so many years have
come and gone since the contracts on the
massive dam and the big reservoir were
awarded that patience may ere long cease TO be
a virtue.
The two undertakings ambitious and even
colossal. No cae disputes that. But they are
not so tremendous as the digging of an isthmian
canal; and the blunt truth is that both of them
ought TO have been finished long ago The
work on each of them was permitted to drift
along at slow pace under the mayoralty Of
ex-Judge Van Wyck, when every contractor
who had city job felt that he could take his
own time. But the times are changed, and a
new spirit of energy should characterize both
these undertakings.

TIE IOWA PLATFORM.

We cannot take as altogether serious the ef-
fort made to read an alarmist and revolution
Ary meaning into the reciprocity and tariff re-
vision clauses of the platform adopted on
"Wednesday by the Iowa Republicans. Prompted
by the spectacle of party stress and discord
which a neighboring Republican commonwealth
unhappily presents, a hasty or hostile critic
might easily be led TO picture the Iowa declara-
lions as a triumph OF radical over moderate
ppinion, of newer over older party leadership.
The parallel though tempting, is, however,
neither piausible nor ingenious. Iowa is in no
sense In the throes of a political CONFUSION;
and though the election Of A. B. Cummins a
year ago as Governor undoubtedly marked the
entrance Of new and vigorous influence into
party councils the unity and harmony of party
action have never in the least been threatened
pr impaired In January last the two United
States Senators. whose leadership 1t is now
vaguely suggested has suffered temporary
eclipse, were unanimously renomnated in the
Republican legislative caucus; nor has an un-
toward incident of any sort occurred since Gov
ernor Cummins's installation TO mar that rec
ord of broad and tolerant party management
which has long been the just boast Of Iowa
Republicanism.
We cannot find, indeed, a startling SAVIOR of
sensationalism in the repetition this year Of
professions and opinions which passed a year
ago without attracting any general note. When
the Iowa convention held on August z,
1901, unanimously adopted resolutions favoring
ssuch changes in the tariff from time to time
'as may become advisable through the prog
''ress OF our industries and their changing re
''lations TO the commerce Of the world" urging
the development of the reciprocity policy las
necessary TO the realization OF our highest COM
s'mercial possibilities and demanding 'such
modification Of the tariff schedules as NAV be
required 10 prevent their affording shelter to
ne platform advocated any new or crucial
departures in Republican doctrine No cry of
Innovation or he.erodoxy was raised; and the
Republicans of Iowa conducted the campaign
Ct 1901-one of the most successful in their his
tory-without realizing that they had ventured
into any uncharted stretches OF party theory
The special emphasis laid now on declara-
lions accepted without comment then is. per
hape, convincing evidence of certain change
in popular temper which year of political
struggle has brought about In August, 1901
the adaptation of the tariff schedules through
reciprocity TO national needs WAS thought to be
policy not alone acceptable 10 theory but
easily and readily TO be convertible into prae-
fice. No one suspected then that the Beet
Sugar Trust would obstinately block for fits
