ALUMINIUM rs. COPPER.

Investors in copper stocks have had
woes enough lately, and they will not
look with joy on the increasing use of
aluminium wires as conductors of cleo
tricity. It appears that aluminium lines
are now employed for the three longest
electrical transmissions in North Amer
lea. In the longest single line, that
from Electra power house to San Fran
cisco, distance Of 154 miles, aluminium
is the only conductor used. The 144-
mile transmission between Colgate and
Oakland is carried out with three alum
mum and three copper wires. For the
third transmission in point of length,
that from Shawinigan Falls to Mon
treal distance of eighty-five miles,
three aluminium conductors are employ
ed. From these examples it may be
seen that copper has lost its former
place as the only conductor to be seri-
ously considered for transmission cir
cults. Aluminium has not only disputed
this claim for copper, but has actually
gained the most conspicuous place in
long transmission lines. This victory
Of aluminium has been won in hard
competition. The decisive factor has
been that of cost for a circuit of given
length and resistance. From the stand
point of cross-sectional area aluminium
is inferior to copper as an electrical
conductor. Comparing wires of equal
sizes and lengths, the aluminium have
only sixty per cent. of the conductivity
of the copper. The inferiority of alum
jnum as an electrical conductor in
terms of sectional area is more than
offset by its superiority over copper in
terms of weight
It is figured that when the price per
pound of aluminium is any less than
twice the like price of copper the for
mer is the cheaper metal for trans
mission line of any required length and
electrical resistance.

Tale ofa Nyartvr

Miss Sophronia Jennie Noodle
Studied hygienic twaddle
Till she got 1t In her noddle
Ihat she couldn't live on food
And she used to sit and ponder
On the happy Oper-yonder,
Where the hosts angelic wander,
And on such things she would brood.
No thing not by art digested
Miss Sophronia molested
And she got herself infested
With the cerealitis fad
Till the little wit created
In her skull evaporated,
And her common sense was slated
To 60 siumping to the bad.
She ate hay and wheat and barley,
She chewed souD-nuts small and gnarly
With steak she ne'er would pariey,
Nor with solid stuff like that;
But she stuck him grim persistence
To her predigest existence,
And she fought with firm resistance
All temptation to get fat
So in course OF time she grew to
Be part Of what she'd chew to-
Ready Oats she ate at 2:02
land Aseptic bran at 4:
At just 5 she'd eat her dinner
OF Dust Corn THAT was winnerD
As she kept on growing thinner,
She asepticised the more!
Well, this tale must have an ending,
And 1t is no use pretending
That the end we are intending
Is triumph, for It amt; 81
Miss Sophronia Jennie Noodle,
With her hygienic twaddle,
Through eternity will toddle
As predigested saint.

aquatic plants, and fragments of these
are often seen beneath the ice, where
they have fIeated from the spot where
some rats has been at work. Musk
rats also go out into the fields through
holes in the ice, to eat any winter APP
pies they may find under the trees, or to
CLEAN corn or other grain which nave
been left by the farmers. They occupy
their well-built houses chiefly in the
daytime.
The Little Chief Hare or Plea of the
west Is another of our provident wild
creatures. This little fellow is appar-
entity related to the rabbits on one side
and to the rats on the other. Pleas live
on the slopes of the mountains, where
in holes and crevices amongst the rocks
and boulders they find safe retreats.
They are most industrious, and spend
much time in gathering mountain plant
which they pile into HAY stacks" for
their use in the winter.
1t would probably be difficult to
mention more proyident animal than
the common chipmunk, which for
months now has been carrying into his
long, winding underground tunnel a
store of nuts, grains and seeds OF
different kinds, which would probably
last him for two winters If there should
be famine next year.
The red and the grey squirrels too
have been busy collecting nuts for sew.
eral weeks past, and many are the piles
Of shellbarks and butternuts bidder
away in hollow trees, old -woodchucks
burrows, and under PROSTATE logs in
the woods. But these creatures are moi
nearly so dependent on their winter
stores as the chipmunk is for red and
grey squirrels are abroad more or les:
all winter. while the little hackhee
sticks to his den from fall until spring
The woodchuck works on a different
plan. He stuffs himself all spring
summer and autumn, and becomes 81
| fat that he needs no food at all in the
winter. So he digs long, deep burrow
which usually winds about among rock
and tree roots, and near the end of 1t h,
makes snug nest Of leaves or grass
Then he plugs the entrance with sol
and leaves, to keep out cold air, ant
goes to sleep, to awaken in February o
March, with thin body and ravenou
appetite.
The flying squirrels, too, sleep ava.
the winter, but their slumber is les
sound than that of the woodchuck
They do not wake up to eat, 50 far as
know, but If on a warm day in winter

How fondly they cling to their old

In that also they indeed of our blood.
While the Anglo-Saxons go to create
new districts with broad avenue like
st. Charles avenue, they refuse to fol-
low. They live In their ancient streets
where they were born, without paving
and so filthy that 1t. is impossible to
cross them expect at the corners where
Ia few paving stones have been
placed to form ford. In these streets
one hears French exclusively. It is
here that one finds the few passably
good restaurants of the city, called
French. Restaurants''-ke by the
garruious southerners-when have the
appearance Of those old restaurants of
our meridianal cities where one is served
a cookery highly-spiced, as will have it
the southern tradition, but which in
reality holds scarcely any relation to
the French cuisine. AS early as Febru-
airy there are placed on the table great
oars turning upon stems like immense
butterfly wings above the heads of the
diners: these are the fiy-chasers.
The cafes, the restaurants, the beer
halls close very late. Some even do not
close at all, on the approaches to Canal
street, the central artery which sepa-
rates the American Quarter from the
French Quarter. People loaf and prone

BENEVOLENT AND BEHEFECEET.
The United States is benevolent and
benefcent, and it is therefore not sur
prising that it finds itself bound to pro-
tect the new republic of Panama, the
de facto government of which has been
recognized by the government at
Washington. Commander Hubbard
eabled to Washington yesterday that
the Colombian government troops I'M
der Generals Torres and Tovar, 450
strong at Colon, had departed on a
merchant vessel. He said that the
Isthmus from one side to the other was
in the hands of the revolutionfsts.
The United States government, being
bound by treaty to maintain order and
preserve free traffic across the Isthmus,
is now under obligation to prevent any
hostile collisions either along the line
of the Panama railroad or at the ter
mini, Panama and Colon. Thus, the
future attitude of the Colombian gov
eminent towards the new republic Of
Panama becomes of little importance,
for 1t is practically impossible for it
to go to war with Panama. BY force
of treaty obligations requiring the
maintenance of order across the 18TH
mus as a necessary condition to free
transit the United States government
practically has been placed in the posi-
ton Of a protector to the new republic
of Panama, and that, too, regardless of
any bias on the part of the United
States government towards either party
to the strife in Colombia.
OF course the United States can pro-
tect anything or anybody, and the revo-
lutionists ON the Isthmus will do well
to take notice Of the situation. They
will doubtless do so when they have
time to cease revolving for a minute
or two.

HOW AMIN MS PREPARE FOR
WINTER. ~

The month has come when those of
eartl's creatures which know not the
use of fire must make their prepara-
lions for winter IL they would survive
it's hardshlps. They are confronted
with problems which, If they are not all
ready solved. must be attended to at
once. In most cases their problems
are those Of food and. shelter; some
times one, sometimes both. OF course,
the question of protection also comes
up, and although this Is always before
them, in some cases at least, 1t requires
special answer in winter. For this
reason the fur OF the Canadian hare,
the ermine and some other mammals,
and the plumage of the white tailed
ptarmigan, change from the brown
color of summer to pure white, making
them practically invisible in the snow.
Then. in order that they may travel
more easily over snow-covered ground,
the feet Of many animals are subject to
peculiar modification at this season.
AS we all know, horny fringes grow
upon the toes of grouse, the hoofs of
SCt teiA uCCA pCSoiAtS bloduOky anu thC
feet of rabbits become wide, hairy
pads. But these latter advantages, de-
rived from change of color, or growth
peculiar to the season, are attained
with any effort on the parts Of the
creatures themselves. In order to OBJ
tain food and shelter for the winter,
however, some animals are obliged to
make active preparation.
Perhaps the best-known example of
such preparation is that of the beav-
ers, which first make pond by DAM
and mud, and then, in the pond thus
made, erect stanch huts, whose roofs
are we'll above the water, and whose
doorways are we'll below it. Here they
spend the winter, swimming out under
the ice In search of aquatic roots, or the
bark Of trees and bushes growing near
the water, or, when other food fails
them eating the bark of saplings car
ried to the bottom of the pond and
stored away near their huts in the
autumn. Unfortunately, few of us ever
get chance to see either these animals
or their works, for not only have the
beavers D6eIl ALMOST 6kIeTIIllI1hIeQ, Out
those which still survive often spend
their winters in holes in the banks Of
streams, afraid to make a dam or rear
a hut, lest 1t be the signal for a
massacre.
We can, however, get some idea Of
the beavers natural preparation for
winter, by watching, the rnuskrats,
which have somewhat similar habits.
The muskrat makes no dam, but
chooses for the site of his winter home
pond already in existence. Here he
builds q hut or lodge on the same
general plan as the beavers, but much
smaller. The material used in it's con-
struction is usually that which is easiest
to obtain-sticks, leaves, moss, grass
and the stems Of bullrushes, being
amongst the ma terials have seen used
by this animal. AS far as I know,
muskrats lay up no food for the winter,
but depend entirely upon what they can
pick up from day to day. Like the
beavers, they are partial to the roots of
