Mr.. WYckoFF INVESTIGATES
CONDITION OF THE WORKERS
He Says American Wage Farmers Are
Seldom Among Destitute and Poor.


Seldom Among Destitute and Poor.
W. A. Wyckoff, that earnest investiga-
tor of the problems of poverty and labor,
has been studying conditions in the East
end of London. He has arrived at the
conclusion that the terrible old East end
of the last generation has vanished; that
while it still has some slums, it Is nc
longer city of slums: Its people, hi
declares, are now a "skillful, Industrious,
peaceful, working population of high av-
to any reasonable competitive struggle
Thus, we are glad to believe, is one
picture of misery removed from mans
change, no doubt, is due to Walter Be-
SAINT
Mr. Wyckoff, observing the wage earn
ers of London, was struck by the essen
TALLY English character of them. 1.-The
American, he says, lis little accustomed
to seeing the native born Of his own race
among the ranks of wage earnerS and
never, practically, among the destitute
poor.
There he invariably expects foreign
faces, and there he invariably meets
them. II once spent eighteen months as
a wage Garner in America, living on the
wages of unskilled labor and working at
all manner of jobs as l Journeyed slowly
from Connecticut to California In that
time was thrown with nearly every va
riety of foreigner but it was a rare event
when 1 found myself working beside an
other American, except as 1 got employ
ment with farmers or in a gang of nav
vies on some Western railway or. in a
Rocky mountain mining camp. Once dur
ing that time I lived for a fortnight
among the unemployed of Chicago and
saw, of necessity, much of the destitu-
tion of a typical American city, but new
er did see an American among the des-
titute poor. There are slums in more
than one American city more terrible,
it seems to me- than any in London
certainly more terrible than any in the
East end-but the American finds in
them only foreign faces. New York

The LARGEST shIp In the World.

Yet another Largest vessel in the

yard of Messrs. Harland & Wolff, at Bel
fast.
The latest leviathan is named Cedric,
and has been built for the White Star
line. Although sister ship to the Celtic,
she exceeds her capacity by ninety six
tons, and is seven feet wider than the
Oceanic.
The following figures will convey some
idea of the enormous proportions OF the

feet, and their tops are 1876 feet above
the keel.
The engines are of Harland & Wolff S
quadruple expansion balanced type There
are nine decks, and the ship being built
on the cellular double bottom principle,
and divided into numerous water-tlght
compartments, the maximum of security
is obtained.
There is accommodation for 5000 pas
sengers and $50 crew.
The Cedric will carry three classes Of
an elaborate scale, which will make her
like her companion ships, a veritable
floating palace.
Great crowds assembled to witness the
launching of the monster, and their en-
thusiastic cheers mingled with the din
Of many sirens as the vessel cleared the
s stocks and gracefully made I'D her debut in in
the remarkably short space of one minute
and fourteen seconds.
The Cedric is expected to take her
vember. Like the Celtic, she is not in
tended to be a rd-breaker. The
White Star fleet consists now of twenty
eighth vessels, of which thirteen have
an average tonnage Of 1910.

SITUATION GROWING TIGHT.
Shortage of Soft Coal Is Being Felt by
Railroads.

Though the railroads depend on
hard coal only for heating purposes,
and though most of them have been
seeing enough to lay in stock
sufficiently large to serve during the
winter, the shortage of soft coal caused
by the unusual demand by consumers
will materially affect all roads that
have not mines to draw from. Several
of the lines run through soft coal ter
ritory and will feel no stringency, but
the roads that depend upon contracts
for their supply will, it is feared, have
difficulty in enforcing them.
The case of the Great Western, re-
Gently reported, is but an instance OF
the tight situation. All the officials
admit that the outlook is dark, but
they say that they have been through
such times before, and hope that relief
will come before any serious te-up
will result. The Burlington and the
Milwaukee tap the coal fields and are
free to draw as much as is needed.
The Omaha, and other roads, however,
have contracts with coal dealers at the
head of the lakes, who are apprehend-
ing that they will not be able to COM
ply with the terms. The officials say
that in all probability they will be able
to secure the needed article from the
roads running through the coal fields.
Asked whether, if the coal would be-
come scarce it would not be ques-
ton with the roads to supply their
own needs in preference to those of
consumers, the officials say that they
will do all in their power to supply
their customers

SNAKE RAISING INDUSTRY
IN WASHINGTON CITY
Female Snakes Are Good Layers, But
1t Is Difficult to Hatch the Eggs.

1t Is Difficult to Hatch the Eggs.
Within the past two seasons the
principal bird and animal dealers have
carried, as part of their stock in trade,
Mexican bull snakes, which have be-
come quite popular with a number of
Washington people as mOusers, taking
the place cf cats around and about
their stables and outbuildings. Thus
far the dealers and those who have
purchased reptiles of this variety
have found them quite hardy and Wig
orous, but great was the surprise
few days ago of one Of the former to
find that his snakes had laid four
eggs, fully as large, though trife
more elongated, than those of a hen.
Since then the females Of his Mexican
bull snakes have laid in all eighteen or
twenty eggs.
The dealer was at first at a loss to
know what to do with the eggs, until
some one advised him to cover them
up in sand in large box and set them
out in the sun to hatch This he did,
with the first one dozen, which proved
a failure, owing, no doubt, to the fact
that they became chilled by a change
in the weather during the night. He
is now collecting a second setting of
snak eggs, and expects to have better
luck with them. In the meantime the
Local animal dealers seem to be
more fortunate than those Of other
cities in the matter Of reptiles general
ly. OF the three rock pythons and two
boa constructors kept in stock by these
men, all are in excellent condition, and
do not, as in some cases, have to be
fed by hand. At feeding time they
seize, crush in their powerful coils and
swallow live rabbits and Guinea pigs
as fast as they are placed in the cage,
and the largest of the rock pythons
has learned to tell when meal time ar
rives, being up and on the alert,
watching every movement Of the deal
er until he places the prey before 1T.
These larger reptiles have never
laid, but some of the blacksnakes are
producing eggs that are about a fourth
smaller than those of the bull snakes.
The eggs of both varieties are perfect
ly white in color, and, to one not pre-
viously informed, could hardly be dis
tinguished from ordinary hen eggs.
They differ from the latter, however,
in having, instead Of hard, brittle
shell, an elastic, leathery covering, soft
and velvety to the touch and exceed
ingly tough and misunderstanding
