every day simply because it is consid-
cred "the proper thing" TO have scaled
an Alpine peak. Hundreds more would
take the same risk were il not for the
fact that Alpine guides have a high
regard for the safety of their own
necks and often decline the task Of
plotting over dizzy lodges stout, fool
ish, middle aged gentlemen with more
dollars than sense, more money than

A successful, level headed business
man would hardly be induced TO climb
out of his attic window, shin UP the
edge OF slate roof and walk the
length of the ridgepole. But let him
| get into Switzerland, let him listen TO
tourists yarns, allow him to contract
the Alpine climbing fever, and lie is
willing to attempt feats which would
make walking ridgepole seem tame

| Notwithstanding the number of acct

climbing the Alps the number OF
climbers is constantly increasing. The

DR.. W. NJ. Crook of England, secre-

The large number OF fatalities last

"AUTO POLO" LATEST FAD.
Boston Sportsman Cleveriy showed
Its Varied Possibilities.

Boston Sportsman CleyerIy Showed
Its Varied Possibilities.
Automobile polo is the latest addi-
ton to the realm of sport, and Mr..
Joshua Crane, Jr.. of the Dcdham Polo
club has demonstrated that auto
polo" is a possibility, says Il Boston
dispatch to the New York Herald.
The automobile variety of polo is not
likely, however, TO become very popu-
lar, as an unlimited number of ma.
chimes would be required if there was
I. any riding off" attempted.
Mr.. Crane owns a big touring ma
chine which runs under his manage
ment with the agility and hardness of
u well trained pony. At KarlStein the
other afternoon he gave an exhibition
of his skill in running the machine
with one hand and making pretty
series of strokes with polo mallet,
knocking the 'ball the length of the
field as cleverly as he could. from q
polo pony. At the end of his run Mr..
Crane raped a backhander and then
in a jffy made dazzling turn at
speed with his automobile and was on
the ball again for run to the other
end of the field.
Mr.. Crane also successfully tried
some fancy shots between the wheels
of his machine and altogether gave a
very remarkable performance. There
was one drawback, however, regarding
the strokes which may be used by II
chauffeur. On touring machine it is
impossible to make near side strokes,
but this might be accomplished on a
| runabout.
or course it takes considerable skill
to hit a ball from the drivers seat on
an automobile, as the player must
reach out over the wheel and at the
same time maintain control of the ma.
chine, but Mr.. Crane has the trick
down to perfection and never missed
stroke on runs the length of the bed

THE PHILIPPINE PEARLS

Trade to United States.
FACTS ABOUT THE JOLO PRODUCT.

Fishing Grounds of Our TrOpic Seas
Are Credited With Furnishing
Greatest Number of the Finest
Round Pearls-How the Beautiful
Mother of Pearl Is Utilized.
Our new possessions in the orient
reach down to within five degrees of the
equator, where, scattered over a trOpic
sea, as though sown from the hand
of a creative giant, is found the ,Jolo
archipelago, says a special dispatch
from Washington to the New York
Tribune. The pearl and shell fisheries
of the Jolo waters are little known to
the world at large and only to limit
ed degree to commerce, yet upon the
authority of expert testimony they
rank in quality of product and posi-.
bility of development with the famed
and ancient grounds of Ceylon and the
Persian gulf and the more modern
areas of Australia and Torres strait.
The fishing grounds of the Jolo archi.
pelago are credited with contributing
today the greatest number of the finest
round pearls that find their way into
the channels Of commerce. The pearls
themselves are simply side issue, or
rather, byproduct, the pearl oyster
shell, the mother of pearl of commerce
being the principal object Of the fisher

Incident In Philippine War.

German Captain Related Amusing
Incident In Philippine War.
Captain Pohl, who was on board the
German cruiser Irene in Manila har-
Dor, relates in the Berlin Marine Rund-
schau what he deems to be the JANUS
ing basis of the American misconcep-
ton of the attitude of Germany to-
ward the blockade" He says the band
of the Irene played an American air
after saluting Commodore Dewey's
flag, and the Spanish pilot thought it
was the Spanish coronation hymn and
related the incident ashore in extrava-
CANT language.
The Spanish newspapers in Manila,
it Is added, printed this version of the
incident, and the Spaniards in Manila
and elsewhere showed an enthusiastic
liking for everything German, the
commander of the volunteers of Iloilo
telegraphing to the commander of the
Irene his thanks for the sympathetic
demonstration"
The Americans in Manila. therefore,
according to Captain Pohl, believed
the pilots story, but Commodore Dew.
ey, knowing the facts, laughed al
them.

BEARPROOF WAGONS.
Style of Vehicles For Transporting
Meat In Yellowstone Park.

Style of Vehicles For Transporting
Meat In Yellowstone Park.
Bears are more numerous in Yellow
stone park this year than ever before,
says a dispatch from Mammoth Hot
Springs to the st. Paul Dispatch.
Among the objects of interest the bear
proof meat wagons used to transport
meat over the mountain roads to the
park hotels occasion no little comment.
On first sight they are taken for gov.
eminent ammunition wagons, as they
are built along bombproof lines. The
wagon beds axe about three feet high
and covered with heavy sheet iron,
iron gratings ON the ends providing
ventilation.
The bears are so numerous that these
wagons have become a necessity. An
ordinary wagon bed with wooden
box would be torn to pieces in single
night and the meat taken or carried
away 1t is doubtful if even these
bearproof wagons would withstand the
test If exposed too long, owing to the
ingenuity and great strength Of the an
imals.

PROPOSED ARMY UNIFORMS
Board Recommends shelving OF the
Hue For Khaki Green suits.

Hue For Khaki Green Suits.
The army uniform board, which has
been in session in Washington for sew
eral months and Of which Major Cen
eral Hughes is president, has submit
ted its report TO the secretary OF war;
says the New York Times.
No longer can the American army be
termed the "boys in blue In future
they must be called the men In kha-
H." for the famous and characteristic
blue field uniforms. II the recommen-
dations of the board are adopted, VIII
be done away with except for "occa-
sions" dress.
For a field uniform the board has
designated n suit of khaki green color,
not by any means presenting beauu-
full appearance, but considered by
army officers as most serviccablc. In
the summer and for hot climates this
uniform will be of light weight and in
the winter and cold climates of heavy
material.
The long blue ovcrcoat worn for so
many years by both officers aud men
will be shelvcd, and Il long overcoat OF
this same brownish green color viii he
substituted. In the opinion of the OIL
GERS who constituted the board the
new color adopted will be most difficult
for an enemy To see on the field of bat
tie. Its wearing qualities are also SUI
perior TO the blue uniforms.
Many changes are also recommended
for full dress uniforms. The helmet
will be abandoned, and cap of the
same shape as worn 10y Lieutenant
General Miles will he adopted. This
cap is modelled after that of the ltal-
ian army. The shoulder knots are TO
be greatly reduced in size and made
more ornamental. The sword carried
by officers will in the future bc a
weapon in every sense of the word In
stead of toy affair such as is now

during 1901 while climbing the Alps,
more than double the number for the
previous year.
Most of the accidents occurred In the
neighborhood Of Chamounix and were
due to the toolhardness and inexpe.
rience of tourists. The number Of &C
cidents suffered by experienced climb.
ers was comparatively small. The in.
crease of fatalities would seem, there.
fore, to be not so much question Of
danger as of ineXperience and folly.
Switzerland and the Tyrol are be.
coming the holiday ground for moro
and more people every year. From cv,
cry part of the world the tourists
come, enthusiastic to hunt the place Of
"the white DEATH" the terrible name
that clings about the glaciers and prec-
ipices of the Alpine passes.
During the year 1901 more than
100000 sightscers registered in the
Alpine districts of Switzerland. In
view of this great influx of visitors
the increased number of accidents is
exactly what might have been expect.

Large Increase Of *
Death Roll In
Recent Years -
&c HA &c 80 - ~

Where one tourist attempted TO scale
n rocky mountain side or a glacier ten
years ago there are twenty or perhaps
fifty nowadays. II is estimated that
30 per cent of the accidents last year
occurred 10 persons who were in
Switzerland for the first time. With
the delusion that anybody with an al
penstock and n pair Of hObnailed boots
can scale n precipice. these inexperi-
enced climbers are so confident OF
their own ability that they often will
not take the precaution TO hire a com
petcnt guide.
The last recorded death Of an Amer
lean was on Aug. %, 1901. Mrs. Wick.
ham Smith of Brooklyn had started for
trip over the Furka pass. She longed
to see the great fee cavern rising in a

stream of the river Rhone. In this In

ABOUT MONEY ORDERS.
AN IMPORTANT RULING ISSUED
BY THE PoSTOFFICE DE-
PARTMENT.

The postoflice has received notice of
the following amendment to Section
1919 of the postal laws and regula-
tions:
80 much of this section as forbids
acceptance Of the payee's application
for a duplicate order within two
months from date Of issue, after notice
has been sent him on Form 6,075, is
hereby resoinded, and hereafter the
payee's application for a duplicate Of
lost money order may be received at
any time before the order becomes in
valid by reason of age. "
Heretofore when notice of an I'M
paid money order was sent by the
postoffioe to payees, If the order
had not been received, the payee could
not make application for a duplicate
on his own account for the space Of
two months, but during that time was
required to write TO the remitter to
make the application for duplicate.
Now the application may be received
from the psyee without consulting the
remitter.
