stirring incidents and of steady pro-
motion for merit. President Cleveland
made him consul general to Spain in
1895, and he was serving in that capac-
ity at the time of the war with Spain.
He was the last American to leave the
enemy's country, and calmly stood IN
the rear platform of the train putting a
cigarette and laughing at the threats
of a bowling mob of dons shortly be-
fore war vas declared.
Mr.. Bowen, says the Washington
Star, is perhaps the ONLY officer in the
consular or diplomatic service Of the
United States to-day who has served
in the four positions of consul, consul
general. minister resident and minis
ter plenipotentiary successfully. Pres
ident Harrison appointed him to his
first post at Barcelona; President
Cleveland retained him in the service,
promoting him to be consul general TO
Spain; President Mckinley elevated
him to the rank Of minister at Teher-
an.
Mr.. Bowers career in Venezuela has
been marked by UNMARRIED success. He
found the country exceedingly indif-
ferent. if not ~preiudiced, in it's attitude
to the United States as the result Of
several untsward incidents. To-day he
is one of the most popular and trusted
men. native or foreign, in the republic.
President Castro confers with him
more frequently than he does with his
own minister of foreign affairs.
Indeed, the giant American, who is
all of six feet four and built proper
tionately, won the presidents admira-
! ton in a singular way. Castro had sent
for the minister one day to ask his adj
vice about an important state matter,
Mr.. Bowen discussed the matter with
his usual frankness. CastTo's anger
was aroused at what Mr.. Bowen said,
and he proceeded to fly into a rage.
Mr.. Bowen. instead of retreating in
d%ignantly, as many of his diplomatic
confreres had done on previous occa-
sions, stood his ground and called the
president severely to task for his be,
havior. Castro's rage was soon passed
and since that moment he has trusted
and respected the American who
showed he was not afraid to take is.
sue with the Venezuelan chief execu,
tive himself.
A more painful task than that Of
openly differing with President Castr,
fell to Mr.. Bowen when he came t.
Washington as Nenezuela's plenipo
tertiary. When the allies e~ndeavoreC
to ignore him and appealed to the pres
ident without Mr.. Bowen's assent tn,
minister, with his characteristic force
though it cost him sincere regret, de
clared that as Venezuela's representa-
tive he could not consent to arbitra
ton of the question of preferential
/ treatment, even by the president him
) self. The minister's strenuous position
was personally applauded by Presiden
. Roosevelt, and its wisdom has beeI
: demonstrated by subsequent events.

grasp both knees with the arms,
pressing the whole body into as small
a compass as possible. This will
give exercise to the parts to be re-
duced and be followed by a gradual
disappearance of the adipose tissue.
Ffb. 3 shows an exercise that will
at first be difficult in extreme cases
of obesity. Lie fiat on the back,
placing the feet beneath a sofa, so
as to hold them TO the floor. Clasp
the hands back of the head and then
raise the trunk to IN upright pos
ture, then back again to a fiat posi-
ton. Repeat five to ten times. This
exercise brings ali the muscles of
the abdomen into play.
Another good exercise for reduc-
ing flesh is to lie down OF the back
and then raise the legs alternately to
a perpendicular position, dropping
them slowly into the first position.
The exercise may be continued by
raising and lowering both legs at
once.
The efficacy of the above move-
AAChl5 haS bt0A ANo'NN oAN -
every case where the exercise has been
regularly and carefully taken the re-
suit has been beneficial to the gen
eral health and to a great reduction
in waist girth.
Without an adequate supply of
fresh air no person can be healthy,
and without a good chest expansion
it is impossible to reach full develop
ment. Before men drifted into an
artificial mode of living, their neces-
stiles compelled an out-of-door life,
with great physical efforts, that gave
perfect specimens of physical man
hood. Now, the majority must fall
back on the gymnasium, or home eff
forts, in order to keep in good con
dition. But although the breath of
| life is free TO all, the narrow-chested,
weak-lunged are legion, because they
have not paid sufficient attention to
the dictates of nature.
Every man and woman should have
a good, full chest. This can be
achieved, but it must be at the price
of everything that is worth having
hard labor. Cursory exercise will moi
do.
First the pupil must learn tc
breathe deeply and exhale slowly
while keeping the body in an erect
posture, with head well up, and chest
thrown out. While walking in the
open air pay particular attention tc
breathing exercises, and you viii get
oil tho bana6t of exercise and nurf
air.
No apparatus of any sort is re
quired.

corporation, to which it had granted
financial, industrial and police con
troll of Acre. The contract, Brazil
declared, was beyond the power of
the Bolivian government to make, as
it involved the partial surrender of
sovereignty, and was void because it
disposed of territory part of which
was claimed by Peru, and part by
Brazil. In the event of refusal to
break the whole contract Brazil in
sisted that the agreement to permit
the syndicate to maintain a police
| force be annulled. Bolivia refused
to grant either demand. While these
negotiations were in progress n rev.
olution was started in Acre by men
who sought to make the district in.
dependent. They were assisted by
| the Brazilians. Bolivian troops were
sent into the district January goth TO
suppress the instruction, and on
January goth Brazil announced that
il had decided to concentrate troops
in the adjoining states of Matte
Crosse and Amazonas. The reason
given by Brazil for its interest in the
contract with the syndicate is that
the establishment of so strong al
American company in the interior OF
South America would endanger the
surrounding republics. The United
States has been requested by Bolivia
to exercise it's good offices to restore
amicable relations between that coun
try and Brazil, and independent ne
pot.ations are also in progress fol-
' the settlement of the dispute by ar
bitration.

REMAINS OF
Many Reasons why They should he
Inferred in the Capital city
of the Nation.

No little interest has been awak-
ened at Washington, d. c., BY the news
which has come from Genoa, Italy,
to the effect that James Smithson. the
founder Of the Smithsonian institution,
Is about to be turned ogt Of his grave
there to make room for a.quarry.
No sooner had this word been re-
ceived here than the question was
raised: "EYhy shou.d not tie United
States government bring th bray to
this country and give Il great Sci

enlist a permanent resting place in the
grounds of the institution which he
founded?" The very justice OF the
proposition almost warrants one in
regarding it as a foregone conclusion
that this step will be taken. The coun-
try is justly proud of the Smithsonian
institution, and if the funds at the
disposal of the directors are INSULT
cient to accomplish what is now pro-
posed it is highly probable that con-
gress will be asked to make an ade-
quate appropriation. Washington
should be proud to contain the tomb of
James Smithson.
While scientists all over the country
are interesting themselves in this
question, the Washington papers and
the issues of Science are printing let
tiers from all sorts of people urging
that the country to which Smithson
left his entire fortune Ito promote the
increase and diffusion of knowledge
among men" should show itself CRATE
full. A letter from Gilbert IL. Grosve-
nor closes with the words: "He left
no descendants to care for his re-
mains; let us accept them as a sacred
trust and bring them to the United
States to be deposited with all rever-
ence in the institution which bears his
name"
Smithson died in Genoa on the 9th
of June, 1929, at the age of rs. BY the
terms of his will his property of about
100000 was left to his nephew, then
to revert to the nephew's sons with
the further provision that if he should
die childless the fund should be used
to endow just such an institution as
now exists. The gift was accepted by
act of congress in 1886, but it was ten
years later before the institution was
actually founded. In 1867 the fund was
increased to S $1,000, 900 by congress.

As weeks and months went by the

when crop-time came, the only or
