Popularity Of the pahlia.

Dahlias are growing in popularity.
and dahlia shows are held in some
cities. In the wild plant the flowers
are single. with dull gray and yellow
disk: the varieties of the cultivated
forms are almost endless. The plant
was discovered in Mexico by Vincent
Cervantes about 1854 and was first
taken 10 the botanic gardens OF
Madrid and the same year 1t was in
troduced into England by the march
ioness Of Butte. The plant became ex-
tinct in that country and was again
taken thither in 1904. In that year
Is found the earliest mention of the
dahlia. named from Andrew Dahl, a
Swedish botanist and pupil Of Lin
naeus. In Mexico the tubers are cul-
tiyated as food, on account OF the
quantity of inulin they contain. but
elsewhere. though many times tried,
they never have become popular. be-
ing regarded as unpalatable.

In his statement, and there does not

IN the right side, and his mind was
paddy affected.

Professor Hoag Claims Journey viii
Be Made in Thirty-Three Days.

Colorado & Southern officials have
received from Fort Worth. Texas, a
pamphlet setting forth the theories Of
Prof. Alexander Hogg. who maintains
1t will soon be possible to go around
the world in thirty-three days. A pro-
jected extension Of the Trans Siberian
railway will enable the Traveller to go
TO a point on Bering Strait. instead Of
vladivostock. the present terminus. On
the opposite side OF the strait is the
extension of the Alaskan railway. This
road is making surveys from Dawson
to Nome. and has a line of coaches
at present running from ST. Michaels
to Nome. Within the next year IL IL
expected q steam railroad will be in
operation between st. Michaels and
Mons. Professor Hogg figures that
by travelling from Nome TO Dawson
and thence to Seattle the journey
around the world will be greatly short
ened.
Some time ago the Canadian Pacific
railway authorities were considering a
scheme to build a line from Hudson
bay TO Vancouver. II was pointed ont
the distance from London to Hudson
bay was much less than to Canadian
scaports. 1t was estimated that the
ocean trip could be made in four days,
thus effecting a saving of three days
tween London and Vancouver. In
" gation proved, however. the line
w04ld be available only a few months
during the summer. as the winters are

GREAT TRACTION ENGINE.

A new kind OF giant traction engine
has been construed. by means Of
which men can now travel from end
10 end of the terrible Death valley and
the Mojaye desert, in the Far West
There Is no water in those arid re-
gions. Again and again men tried TO
explore the Death valley. but hcrses
and mules fell dead in the air OF fire
Enough water could be carried for
men. but not enough for the horses
Now the difficulty is overcome by
the enormous traction engine. which
runs on wheels fye feet in width and
carries great tanks of water. 1t is
harnessed to train OF large trucks
and can run almost independently Of
roads. The vast quantities of salt and
oorax. which up to the present time
no one has been able to reach. are now
hauled out by this railway train.
Few people who buy salt and borax
know that they may have been brought
from the heart OF the Death valley.
which the Indians looked upon With
superstitious horror and dread.

Saved by Brave Daughter.

Announcement of the engagement
of Lady Grizel Cochrane, daughter OF
Lord Dundonald. the British cavalry
general, recalls that at the end OF the
seventeenth century there was a
Cochrane who owed his life to the
great daring of his daughter Grizel.
This Cochrane had been sentenced to
death at Edinburgh and the king re-
fused to listen to all appeals for
mercy. Miss Grizel, however. set her
wits to work; she tracked the post

Question of style.

The Princess chinqui1la. dasghter of
,he late Lone Star. chief OF the Chey-
ennes, attended a reception not long
ago attired in the native costume OF
her rank. The princess is Carlisle
graduate, and an unusually bright and
interesting young woman, quick TO
think and to speak. Her costume was
rather conspicuous. and presently II
became the subject of conversation
among the l,.tle party about her.
DO you wear it on the streets OF
New York, Princess?" inquired a man.
Not now" she replied. Il did

The double reason which the stern
father gave in advising the boy 10
keep the shilling will be appreciated
by every Carlyle student.

IN MOVING A PYRAMID of cannon balls from the south to the north side of the Capitol yard yesterday morning a negro laborer allowed a wheelbarrow containing five of them to tilt over. The cannon balls rolled down the three flights of steps which lead from the head of Dexter Avenue to the Capitol. Each bau weighs fifty pounds and their progress down the steps was made with increasing noise and momentum. After reaching Dexter Avenue the canon balls rolled a block down the street before stopping. In their descent of the Capitol steps the balls clipped four or five pieces of stone from the steps.
