Rice-throwing has become q nuisance

within the car, and then, in the hurry to
get aboard. several slipped on the rice.
Mr.. Davidson promptly issued an or
der to the station master to call upon
the police to arrest all persons who COM
mitted the nuisance OF rice-throwing.
Half an hour later the station master
enforced the order. and caused the ar
rest OF a young man. but on the ground
that the order had not become well

Those ever-ingenious people. the Chi
nese, are great at fish farming. and one
OF their little lodges for Matching young
fish is most ingenious. Taking a fresh
egg, they suck the contents through q
tiny hole and refill the egg with tiny
eggs OF the fish they want to hatch. The
hole is then sealed up and the egg placed
under q sitting hen. In very few days
the fish ova are SO far advanced that one
has only to break the shell into mod

KINGS OF FOREIGN BLOOD.
Few European Countries Can Roast
Of Rulers Who Are Really
Natives.

It IL strange how little really native
blood the royal families Of Europe have
in their veins. The king Of Greece Is
generally called Dane, being second
son Of the King Of Denmark, but as the
king OF Denmark was a prince OF Schles-
wig Holstein, the Danish and Grecian
reigning houses are both Of German ex-
traction, says London Black and White
Germany, has, indeed. supplied most
Of the royal houses Of Europe. The
car Is, Of course, lineal descendant OF
Peter the Great, but nearly all his In
tervening ancestors have been German,
as in the middle of the eighteenth CEN
fury a prince Of Oldenburg inherited
the Russian crowns and transmitted
them to the subsequent czars.
The king of Sweden Is French. and OF
quite humble extraction-that Is. hum
BILE for a monarch-though his grand
father, Bernadotte, was one OF Napo-
Icons most famous generals.
The Spanish own "a filled by q
prince who can boast at least OF fair
percentage Of real Spanish blood. and
Italy's king, too, descended from the
old kings of Sardinia-one of the ltal-
ian states.
The royal house Of Hapsburg has
given many emperors to Austria, which
is one Of the few countries where the
king is really native Of the country
he reigns over.

AUSTRlA'S STATE SECRETS.
They Are Placed for Security ia iron
Rooms Of House Built Ex-
cressly scR Them.

The Austrian imperial archives have
been lately conveyed from the Hofburg
to the great house built for them ad-
Joining the foreign ONCE. They will
later on be opened for pubic inspec-
ton, from the most ancient docun ents
down to those of 1910, says the LoAdon
Telegraph. The rooms containing the
secret archives are Of ironwork, each
story being completely separated from
the next one, 50 that neither fire nor
water can penetrate. Hose supplying
abundance Of water is fixed in every d.
rection, the windows can neither be
melted by fire nor destroyed by blows
and the ornamental ironwork before
each window can be unlocked In case
of emergency.
1t is remembered when Napoleon Bo-
naparte invaded Austria and estab-
lished himself at schonbrunn with
what terrible haste the secret archives
were carried of to Bude-Pesth to the
Ofen stronghold, these being the first
things secured when all else was left.
Among the iron cases stands a plain
wooden box which will not be opened

NOT DESERT LAND.
Report Regarding Settled Tracts i:
Montana

Special Agent Chadwick of the general
land Office has filed report with the COM
missioner recommending the withdrawal of
land in the Great Falls, Mont, land office
from entry under the desert land laws. He
says that the land is not desert in charac-
ter, and that the settlers secure abundant
crops of hay and grain without irrigation
Notwithstanding this fact, he says that
many entries of land under the desert land
law have been made
How he says, "the entrymen could
have made reply to the question as to
whether the land required irrigation I do
not know. Many tracts, he continues.
have been entered as desert which are ex-
cellent farming and grazing lands in char
acter. Neither the letter nor the spirit Of
the desert land law is compiled with. To
get title Is often the sole aim of the set
tier He says there are no streams in the
region from which water can be taken for
irrigation, and that in order to comply
with the law witnesses were called in after
snow storms, and. finding water standing
in burrows which had been plowed for the
purpose, they were able to say that they
had seen water on the land" The order
of withdrawal was made upon the strength
of this report. and 1T also contemplates a
closer inspection of the proof in cases aris-
ing in the district in which entries have al
ready been made.

AT PORTSMOUTH NAVY YARD.
Force of Men Being Increased-Rush
Work on Ships.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, October 14.-There
has been notable increase in the number
of men employed at the navy yard in the
past two weeks. The large amount of new
work that has been sent to the yard has
necessitated the increase.
1t is stated that the force will be steadily
increased until there are sufficient men or
the rolls to meet any emergency. The re-
pairs to the two monitors-the Nevada and
the Arkansas-and the completion of the
Galveston alone have furnished employ
ment for most of the force.
The great dredge Benyard, which is being
built for the use of the army, is almost
equal to ship in point of the amount of
work required upon her. There are several
Golfers at the yard awaiting repairs.
The Olympia is also good for thirty days
being repaired the plates, which for dis
lance of ninety feet were cracked and
broken. are being taken out and replaced by
others. After placing the famous cruiser
in the dry dock 1t was seen that she has
sustained structural damage more serious
than was at first thought to be the case.
Several of her frames were found to have
been broken in the grounding of the ship on
the rocks at Portland, and these will have
to be taken out and new frames substituted
for them.
The torpedo boat f1otilla, which is to sail
for the east on the LIST of the coming month,
must also be prepared for the voyage and
the big refrigerator ship Glacier is having
alterations and repairs made aboard her.
Altogether, the yard has not had so much
work nor SO many men on the pay roll

that Y persons were tried of whom 81 were
convicted. General Davis says that the
large decrease in the number of trials by
military commission is due to the fact that
during the year a condition of peace was
proclaimed as existing in the Philippine
Islands. The decrease referred to was 64S.
Among the cases tried by military commits
sions were II of murder. l of rape, OF
manslaughter and 10 of kidnapping. Death
sentences were imposed by military COM
missions in about IA cases (nearly all ma
tives of the Philippine Islands), on convic-
ton of the more serious crimes and the
sentences were executed in about 10 cases.
In the remaining cases the sentences were
committed to Imprisonment for a term of
years.
Upon the recommendation of the depart
ment the eighty-third article of war, which
defines the jurisdiction of the several in
ferior courts in respect to their power to
punish, was amended by the act of March
2, 1901, in such a way as to permit those
tribunals to impose sentences of three
months forfeiture of pay or three
months confinement at hard labor, or both,
at the discretion of the court. The opera
ton Of that enactment, says General Davis,
has been to simplify the administration Of
military justice and to make it unnecessary
to refer a considerable number of cases to
general courts-martial for trial, which prior
to the adoption of the amendment were ex-
clusively triable by such tribunal. In that
respect, he says, 1t has continued to justify
the expectations which were entertained as
to its necessity and propriety when the
matter was presented to Congress.
In closing his report General Davis says
1t gives him great pleasure to recognize the
efficient assistance he has received from
the officers and employees of the department
in their different fields of endeavor Their
labors, he says have been jealous and un-
firing and the services rendered by them
have been entirely satisfactory.
