was wild with fear, but dog was as
cool in fire as at any other time. A
dog, they said, Keeps his nose down to
the floor, where the air is purest, and
sets himself calmly to finding his way
out. Cats in fires howl piteously
They hide their faces from the light
and crouch in corners. When their
rescuer lifts them they are, as a rule,
quite docile and subdued, never bit
ing or scratching. Birds seem to be
hypnotized by fire and keep perfectly
still; even the loquacious parrot in a
fire has nothing to say. Cows, like
dogs, do not show alarm. They are
easy to lead forth and often find their
way out themselves. Rodents seem
never to have any difficulty in escap-
ing from fires. The men said that in
all their experience they had never
come upon the burned skeleton of a
rat or mouse.

Facts In Panama Canal Treaty.

Mr.. Roosevelt's eulogy of John Hays
diplomacy in the matter of the Pana,
ma canal was to have been expected,
perhaps, but there is little in the iacts
to justify it. We are to dig the Glitch
at an enormous expense and are to be
mere tenants Of Colombia, paying
that thrifty dictatorship enough money
to have acquired fee simple much
larger section of its territory than we
are now to occupy on lease with very
uncertain rights. The Colombian
treaty may not have been entered into
so far as the United States are con-
cerned with the idea OF breaking 1t
at the first sign of difficulty, but that
will be its fate without much doubt.

Skatinu on Water,

It would seem that skating on water
may be successfully accomplished. a
German inventor has made 100-mile
Journey with water shoes on the sur.
face of the River Danube. The shoes
are cylindrical in shape, and are made
of aluminium to give them extreme
lightness. They are several feet long.
and are propelled by a treading move
ment, which causes four oar-shaped
wings to revolve. The inventor claims
that he can travel on water three
times as fast as he can walk on land
and that locomotion is as safe on
rough water as on smooth. He hopes
to have the shoes made part of
every well-regulated life-saving sta
ton.

Getting Their Pound Of Flesh.

Cruel war has broken out again be
tween the Havemeyer sugar trust ant
Arbuckle Brothers, who have beer
lying down together very amicabl,
for a good while. The Arbuckle:
charge that the trust has violated the
agreement to maintain prices. BY
and by they will learn, as so many
others have learned, that the only
way to maintain monopoly prices l:
to merge themselves in a monopoly
trust. Then they can get the entire
pound of flesh nominated in the Ding
ley tariff bond.

Why?

Five great packing companies have
paid fines of $4,000 each for violations
of the Missouri antitrust law.
IF a state law against combinations
to control prices can thus be enforced
why cannot national law against
such combinations in interstate trade
be enforced?
While Mr. Roosevelt is rushing zig
gag hither and thither telling people
about trusts will he not be good
enough to explain why no attempt has
been made to enforce the criminal
provisions of the national law while
Missouri has easily succeeded in en-.
forcing her state law?

Small Rent for Public Lands.

One of the opportunities which Sen
ator Warren of Wyoming does not
mention in speaking of President
Roosevelt's western tour is that of OBJ.

Gates that have gotten possession OF

these syndicates are pasturing i'm

acre and making two clips a year the
president may personally testify to
the iniquity of their demand for the
maintenance of duties that are near
ly prohibitory upon fine foreign wool.

UNUSUALLY
HEAVY SWELL

After the toughest trip that Captain
Nilsson has experienced In 20 years the
barkontino S. ~ castle arrived this
morning from san Francisco with II
days for the passage.
The vessel encountered some Of the
recent heavy weather that caused such
havoc i'm shipping along the Coast, es-
pccially about Puget Sound. A heavy
swell from the west and north west
swept upon the vessel during the en-
tire time she was out. She rolled to
such an extent that Captain Nilsson
thanked his stars that no live stock
had been aboard the vessel as cargo,
as the animals would certainly have
been Killed. None of the heavy wind
that drove the various vessels ashore
on the northern coast was encountered
by the Castle.
For the first seven days the boat
drifted She made only 305 knots dur
ing that week. Such an occurrence
was unknown with the vessel. After
this experience however she caught
good winds and came along at a fast
clip. Yesterday she made pa knots
and several days earlier she covered PIG
knots.
The Castle brought SS5 tons of freight
for Honolulu. 1t was fortunate that
she was not loaded with light stuff.
The rolling of the sea was such as to
have endangered the boat under such
conditions. She brought only one
passenger.
The experience of the Castle is eX-
actly what other boats from San Fran
cisco encountered. Captain Keissel
of the bark Alden Besse reports having
encountered the same sort of weather.
in fact the swell was so heavy that lie
had to bring his boat up into the sea
on one occasion. Both captains re-
port constant rain.
