Staff sergt. w. B. Miller suffered to such
an extent from the cold Sunday night that
he thought he would find relief by asking

NOT A DANGEROUS REPTILE.
The South American Anaconda Ma

From the Chicago Chronicle

William c. Agile, who has spent many
years In South America, upsets many old
notions about dangerous reptiles When he
first went to South America he had the con-
ventional pictures in his mind Of men being
crushed and swallowed by anacondas and
boas.
"Years ago." he said, II read an account
written by a naturalist of these monsters
in their native state, cotling and uncoiling
themselves like lightning, and coughing and
Kissing with such a roar as could be COM
pared only to the exhaust Of a powerful
steam engine. What is the truth about
these mysterious reptilesT I have asked
nearly every native I met in the South
American countries If he had ever seen a
boa or an anaconda. Most of them had
not. To those who had put the question:
What do they look like?'
And the answer was always: Their
movement Is very, very slow, and they are
not ferocious.'

that they have quietly introduced a change
into the fashionable dinner menu. This is
nothing less than the substitution of
large slice of melon for the hors d'oeuvre,
with which anything more formal than the
homely family repast now invariably be-
gins.

host of other tasty appetizers. all more or

adopted from the predatory course served
in Russia and Sweden During the last few
weeks however, alike at private dinner
parties and in the table dhote menus OF
the smartest and most highly reputed West
End res aurants the "chunck" of ice-cold
and fragrantly scented melon has almost
invariably preceded the soup. Powdered
sugar and ginger are offered with 1t, though
these are seldom accepted.
Americans, of course consume melons
much more generally than English people
have hitherto done, and during the summer
months they figure largely in the trans
atlantic breakfast, a fact which is already
being realized in the great hotels here to
which they chiefly resort. In France, too,
one has frequently had the melon, especial
ly at the dejeuner; out in this country the
cost Of the delicious dollhouse 'Blenheim
orange" or similar choice varieties, has
been prohibitive. This year, however, the
large French rock melon has found it's
way here. and this is the kind that is most
favored in the place Of the hors d'oeuvre.

AMERICANS IN LONDON.
Signs Of Their Especial Demands Seen
in That City.

From the London Telegraph,
There Is a general agreement of opinion
that during the past month or so London
has welcomed an exceptionally large influx
of American visitors. Signs of their pres
ence and their especial demands are to be
noted in various directions, and nowhere
may the observant stroller find more Of
these than in the Bloomsbury district,
where so many of the boarding houses
cater avowedly and primarily for transat-
lantic guests. There may be found candy
stores" with unfamiliar packages of chew
ing gum and marshmallow lozenges "Sar-
atogas' and "gripsacks" fill the trunk
makers windows, and little further afield
the early autumnal blouses or slips are
labeled shirt waists for the fall" In
more than one popular restaurant recent
ly the menu included grilled CANNON of
bacon with Boston baked beans. All over
London now the American soda fountain
seems to have established itself, and there

choice of the phosphate drinks credited

firms Of the West End the astute assistants
can as readily quote the price Of their
pretty wares in dollars and cents as in
shillings and pence, suggesting how large

sion from the United States,
But perhaps none OF these patent ana OBJ

BRITISH ALIENS.
Commissions Report Advises Stat,
Control of Immigration.

tAoA VI AuIAOA
From the London Telegraph.
After dealing with the character and ex-
tent Of the evil. and measures adopted for
the restriction and control of alien immigra-
ton in foreign countries and in British COL
| onies. the commissioners report:
I'VE do not think any case has been es-
| tablished for the total exclusion of such
aliens. and it would be undesirable to throw
unnecessary difficulties in the way of the
entrance of foreigners generally into this
country. But we think that as to certain
| classes OF immigrants. especially from east
ern Europe, their entrance should be con-
| trolled and regulated"
The greatest evils produced are over
crowding in certain districts of London, and
the consequent displacement of the native
population. The commission therefore rec
ommends:
Il. That the immigration Of certain
classes OF aliens into this country be sub
jected to state control and regulation.
80 That a department of immigration be
established. either connected with the board
Of trade and local government board or in
dependently
20. That improved methods be employed to
secure correct statistical returns.
q That the act of William w, chapter
IL. be repealed. and statutory power given
for obtaining from shipowners the returns
of the numbers and nationalities Of all
aliens entering or departing from the
united kingdom.
IS. That power should be conferred upon
properly appointed officers to inquire
whether any immigrant comes within the
classes Of undesirable, viz, criminals pros
titutes. idiots. lunatics, persons of notori-
ously bad character. or likely to become a
charge upon the public funds.
"6 That any such alien immigrant may
be ordered by court of summary jurisdic-
| ton to leave this country. and the owner Of
the vessel on which such immigrant was
brought to this country may be ordered to
reconvey him to the port of embarkation."
They further recommended that where
the immigrant is found to be suffering from
infectious or loathsome disease or mental
tncapacity the medical officer should have
power to debar such immigrant from land
ing. and the shipowner be compelled to re-
convey the immigrant to the port Of en-
barkation. Refusal by the immigrant to
give Information, giving false informa-
ton. to be offense. and If the fmmigra-
ton of aliens into any area be found to SUBJ
stantially contribute to any overcrowding.
the district may be declared prohibited
