The experience of practical breeders
resident there with their Angoras for
several years has proved well that
thyr home climatic and range condi-
tons are most favorable for successful
Ar2ora huSbandry - conditions under

lands in the northwest, Angoras are Of
keen interest To the new settler and.
too, are proving most interesting to

In Spain there are some 100000 OF
migratory sheep which every year
travel rs much MS POO miles from tine
plains TO the 'delcctable mountains, -
where the shepherds feed them till the

c'rt"m times no one is allow ed to tray
q ON the same route as the sheep.
Which have right TO Craze on all open

CONCERNING HIS TRIP TO THE UNITED

He took voyage from New York on th' Steamer Alene of the Atlas line. At colored men. They are carried on the ship to unload the cargo and then brought back on the return trip. The Captain provided luncheon for them and had them all come up on the for ward deck just forward of the cabins. They sang for us and such singing, it. was the melody of melodies. As the words were in English you could under stand it. We left Kingston, Sunday morning, later than we expected. A ship of the Hamburg American line that left Kingston Saturday evening at o'clock, in going out of the harbOr an on the rocks about five miles in from the entrance. We tried to pull ner off with our ship and broke hawser after hawser. Finally we got cable, put our steamer at full speed and tried to pull her off the rocks. but could not do it.. We were compelled to abandon her to her fate. She had large cargo and number of passengers aboard. There were two German warships in the harbor and the captain of one of them and some of his crew came aboard our vessel while we were trying to get the ship afloat. He said if we could not get it off the rocks he would bring the war vessel or vessels out if necessary and try it. They will proba' bly be able to do it as they have 6,OOC horsepower engines against our ships l, 1,50O horse-power; that is four times the power we have.

Dr Robert Lynch of Bridgeport has a bird dog of unusual intelligence. Ten days ago he sent the dog to John C.. Gay in Taunton to be ''tuned up," as the hunters say. In day or two the dog suddenly disappeared and next showed up at the Newt0wn railroad station, where it was ejected from one or two railroad trains it tried to get aboard. An engineer of one train got off to oil his engine and seeing the name of Dr Lynch on the collar, took the dog to Bridgeport. Later he went to the A tlantic hotel and telephoned to Dr Lynch who came down and se- cured his dog. The dog had been ac- cuStomed to take the train at New town with it's master, and was bound to take the sa me route this time.

Everything is arranged for coolness and comfort. The war las played havoc with this country. You see in the streets very few men, only boys. The men with few exceptions are foreigners, whom the government could not draft into the army. The men are in the army or are dead. All hope and pray there may nevor be another war here. They think the United States the wonder of the world. They see the results in Cuba and long for the Improvements here.

Asked what the fare from >arinilla to Banenquilla and was in- formed it was $75. 1 gave him a S5 American gold piece and he gave me pack in good American money S4.25, that is he took out 75 cents. A t the custom house they charged me S45 for excess baggage-nO duty. paid them 45 cents in American money and it waS Ill right. The hack driver charged MT - and me $40 to take Us to th. lotel and the man who brought ythe baggage charges $lOO for bringing it up. The price at this hotel is $50 per Jay. Can you get accustomed to it.
 We'll multiply everything by 100, the exchange is $98 for Sl, that is to Say, for every dollar of United States money you get 98 Colombia dollars, but for convenience we call it 100, making il che even decimal. In other words, if want tu get SlO exchanged into Culom- oian money they give me for the $lU S9SO.
 They have queer money in Colombia It is practically worth nothing. Tp give you an idea: The pes pronounced payso) is supposed to be worth Sl, but Is actually worth but one cent, so wheu one gets change for good United States money, he gets an awful lot of this stuff back. In other words for $5 American gold one gets S5oO. Tne men work for 20 cents a day, but in paying them you give the 20 pesos which looks as if you had given them S2O-but you have not, you have only given 20 cents.

Then l could use these at Kingston and avoid getting whole lot of English money m change, which could not use unless spent it there. They gave me at the oank 20 American United States) quarters and an English Cd (sixpence). In other words, got back for the S5 gold piece S5 in silver and an English pence-l2 cents United States. I l therefore had from the bank $5.12 from my S5 gold piece. I made 12 cents.

wife of the blacksmith. who is dying. He tells the other inmates to cultivate real humanity, for there are people and there are human beings.
 Luka, however, cannot entirely control the beastly impulses of some of the in mates. He hears, for example, without being seen that Wassilissa urges her lover, Pepel, to kill her husband, the innkeeper. Pepel, however, is heartily tired of his mistress, and being in love with her sister, refuses to comply with her request.
 Then the innkeeper, goaded by his wife. whips the sister, and in return, Pepel, furious with rage, kills the form CT. Wassillissa, to revenge herself on Pepel for having scorned her, denounces him to the police as murderer. This scene, with it's outburst Of fearful pas sion. it's wild animal brutality and it's intensity has probably never been sur passed in dramatic literature.
 Luka has again gone on his pilgrim age, but he has sown a seed, as the last act shows. We see the inmates left, sit ting together in the night The whisky bottle goes around, and philosophical thoughts as to the wherefore of life are exchanged.
 But Luka's ideas drive one to death {: that is, the old actor. The pilgrim has told him that there is a place where drunkenness is cured. One of the ir- mates says there is no such paradise. And so he goes outside and hangs him self to lantern. He has finally found way for himself, the last choice, to break a heavy chain" The inmates continue to drink whisky, discuss and sing, until the baron brings the news, and all are silent. Satin in anger throws down his glass. ''D-rl!" he says; why must he spoil our song-the fool" That is the end of the play.
 Gorki's Night Asylum" is counter 1 part of Hauptmann's "Weavers." But 1 it has grown out Of a very opposite philosophy. Through both plays flows modern thought. Hauptmann breaches materialism, the ideas of Marx, of revo- lution. Improve social conditions, ' says Hauptmann. land you will make people better. Give the poor bread; give them something to eat.''
 But Gorki talks differently. With bread the masses alone are served, he says They must have something more What is needed is the respect of man for man; a respect for humanity. Cork speaks the work humanity like fanat- ic, to whom it has become a religiou Luka, the pilgrim, draws the miserable to his breast, and whispers to then words of kindness and consolation. Cor. Xxi wishes to bring to the people the sur | of liberty, of social happiness.
 The presentation of Night Asylum is masterly. Every one of the actors i! an artist. May Reinhardt admirably portrays the wise and noble Luka Emanuel Reicher, one of the best actors in Berlin, we'll known in America, agair shows his wonderful versatility in tho part of the drunken actor. The same must be said of Hans Wassmann, whose impersonation os the fallen baron i! genuine, and the same can be said O Rosa Bertens, who represents Wassilis sa, the wife of the innkeeper.
 Night Asylum" has been translated into German by August Scholz, who ha: an excellent knowledge of Russian con ditions.

It is generally thought that the disruption of Turtle mountain was brought about by a seis- mic disturbance, although some per- sons declare that the origin of the up neaval was volcanic. No lava has been seen, and aside from the smoke from the mountain the atmosphere is clear. There is, however, no explanation for the continued upheaval of rock. The eruptive influences seem to center at the crown of the Turtle mountain.
 At 4 o'clock this afternoon the follow ing conservative estimate of the loss of life was made: Men, women and children, killed in their beds as they slept. S2; miners working outside the mines, and instantly killed, F; im- prisoned in the mine, IS.
