HILL GETTING TRAFFIC
N. Sc. T. Agreement Causes No Sur

prise In New York.
Special to The Journal.
New York, Oct. 22.-The announce
ment that the Grand Trunk has made
an arrangement whereby it will send
traffic to the Pacific coast over the
Northern Securities lines did not come
as a surprise to Wall street. 1t is re-
garded here as a mere incident in the
development of transcontinental traf-
fic. The agreement is in no sense an
exclusive one. and Northern Securities
appears to have made no agreement
whatever to turn over any stipulated
amount of it's business to the Grand
Trunk at Chicago. 1t is natural to
expect, however, that the Grand Trunk
will gain by this arrangement certain
amount of thru business which would
otherwise have gone to the Ameri-
can trunk lines. If this were not the
case, Northern Securities would be in
the position of receiving everything
and giving nothing.
1t is believed that the line of steam
ers which are reported to be about
to be put in commission from Tacoma
to Australia, will turn out to be MOTH
ing more than a section of Mr.. Hills
fleet, and that the Grand Trunk will
have no interest in them whatever. 1t
is looked upon as simply a plan of Mr..
Hills to secure a greater traffic for
his trans-Pacific ships. He Is max
ing every possible effort to insure that
these steamers West-bOund will have
full cargoes. He has made working
agreement whereby IS per cent of the
cotton routed from the southeast from
the lines of the Southern and Louis
vile & Nashville will reach the orient
over the lines Of the Northern Securi-
ties. He has made arrangements
whereby. the greater bulk Of Erie's
heavy freight from Pittsburg and New
York bound across the continent will
also reach the Pacific coast over Hill
lines. His only heavy interest in the
Erie made this arrangement easy. He
has now reached an agreement with
the Grand Trunk whereby the heavy
tonnage reaching that road at Port
land and Montreal and routed to the
orient will also travel over Hill lines.
From these facts it becomes even
more evident than formerly that the
most valuable asset in the possession
of the Northern Securities company is
the brains Of J. j. Hill. NE

New York, Oct. 22.-It was learned
to-day that steps have been taken to
have the Pennsylvania and New York
Central's control of the Baltimore &
Ohio, the Chesapeake & Ohio, the
Reading and the Norfolk & Western
declared illegal if the supreme court
affirms the st. Paul decision in the
Northern Securities case which comes
up in December next: While actual
ownership in these properties is not
held by the controlling companies
enough stock is owned in each case to
dictate the policy, which means that
bylaws were formed by the several
companies as far back as 1897 at
Pennsylvania dictation, regulating
rates and the amount of coal to be
hauled to tideWater by each company.

Children of the HOthOuSc.

The craze for Scientific" feeding of
young children is apparently at its
height. The worst feature Of this
craze is that every deyotee practices
his ideas not upon himself, but upon
an innocent and helpless child. The
scientific feeding, in discussion, often
develops children for dollhouse con-
ditions, but leaves them totally unfit
for conditions as they really exist in
the world. If a child has grown to
manhood on prepared food, he will do

good physique on bread and meat and
golden grain belt beer. This beer is
substantial and nourishing, the kind
of tonic workers need. ~

SEA ANEMONE.
New York Aquarium Gets Big Spec

A sea anemone which the New York
aquarium has lately received from the
fishing banks off the Jersey coast is as
big as any specimen previously obtained
from that locality. Distended, this
giant. which while changing color more
or less from time to time. is commonly
of crushed strawberry hue, is from
five and one-half to six inches across
the base AMI from eight to ten inches in
height. while across its upper disk and
outspread tentacles it measures about
ten inches. With its tentacles drawn
in and trunk partly collapsed it some

anemones caught on the fishing banks
are fished up from there with hook and
line The anemone enfOlds the baited
hook with its tentacles and when the
fisherman pulls the anemone up there
is likely to come with it the stone to
which it had been attached.
Commonly the anemone thus caught is
more or less hurt by the hook; but this
big one was absolutely uninjured. This
is easily accounted for. Tt had been
taken on a hook baited with a elbow
part of a blue crabs pincher claw. With
the hook thus covered, the sea anemone
suffered no harm from it, and when the
hook was drawn out of it the shell COW

EXPLORING A NEW RIVER.
Another White Space on Congo Map
Being Filled With Detail.

More than twenty years ago Savorg~
nan deBrazza carried a little steam
launch overland between the head
waters Of the large Ogowe river and the
upper part Of a river on the other side
of the divide. few miles away Inc
natives called this stream the Ann =
and De Brazza believed it was trlD-
utary of the Congo and that he might
steam down the Alma to the upper Con-
go far above Stanley pool his expert
..lent was a great success. He de-
scended the Alma about 400 miles ana
finally entered the Congo where the
great river is several miles in width.
Then he fOated down that river 10
Stanley pool.
Meanwhile Stanley had been labor
iously ascending the Congo, dragging
his supplies around 235 miles of rapids;
and when he reached Stanley pool nc
was much surprised to find the French
flag floating on it's northern bank. De
BraZza had arrived before him and
was founding the station of BrazzaVille.
Ever since that day a large white space
has existed on the map between the
Alma and the Congo. Explorers were
too busy elsewhere to trace the rivers
in that region At last the Pama river
supposed to be the largest tributary OF
the Alma, has been partly explored
and a portion of the blank space or
the map has been filled.
Capt Scheerlinck, agent of the Com
mercial and Agricultural Society of the
Alma. has ascended its Pama trtbu-
tary for a distance of about eighty
miles. The upper part of the river has
! also been explored but no one has Wis
tied the middle portion. The river j.
about 200 miles in length, and Capt
Scheerlinek found that for a part oi

Sion in which are numerous herds ol
elephants and buffaloes. The country
is not densely peopled, but there are
