FOR DIAZ
INAUGURATION

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 30.-The
capital has assumed gala attire in an
ticipation of the inauguration tomor-
row ofrow of President Diaz and
Vice President Ramon Corral. The
intention is to make the Inaugural
ton notable in the history of the re-
public. A great national holiday has
been proclaimed, the ceremonies will
be far more elaborate than have ever
been seen thus far on the induction
of a president into Office and the cele-
bration will last for three or four
days Parades, illuminations, games,
addresses, balls, banquets, feasts for
the people and other forms of enter
tainment make up the program. The
city is rapidly filling with visitors
from all parts of the country and
from all Indications the crowd will
be one Of the largest ever seen here.

of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, which will
be there in a few months, the first
body Of scientific men to meet in Gen.
trail Africa.
On the north side of the river, but
some distance from the falls, another
park is being laid out with geological
gardens, grounds for sports and other
attractions. This park will be pop
ular resort. while the Park of Peace
will be more quiet and especially in
tended for the display of many
species of Central African fora.
1t will cost pretty penny to go
to these falls, and the expense of
living there a few days or weeks
will be no small item. An attraction
so far removed from common routes
of travel could not draw many visi-
tors if it were not superlative in its
quality; but it is contended that moth
ing in the line of water falls equals
the beauty and grandeur of Victoria
falls. Being over a mile wide and
400 feet high, the are twice as broad
and two and half times as high as
high as Niagara falls; the greatest
water power in the world is centered
there for engineers say that during
the flood season at least 100000
horse power represents the quantity
of power continually pouring over the
mighty cataracts.
1t is a curious fact that the least
water pours over the falls when the
rainy season is in full progress there,
and when the falls are in flood the
country around them is as dry as a
bone. This shows the bigness of the
Zambesi. By the time the flood waters
of the upper river get down to the
falls the rainy season has ended in
that region.

The great Victoria Falls of the
Zambesi are to be made one of the
show places of the earth.
They are 1900 miles inland from
Cape Town, yet so many tourists are
already visiting the falls, now that
the railroad is completed, that a
small hotel, fitted with electric lights
and ice chambers and electric fans
to counteract the effects of the tropi-
cal heat, has been opened. This is
only temporary convenience, for
big hotel is now building.
1t is the intention to keep the falls
as free from distractions and every
thing unsightly as possible. The site
Of the town that is springing up is
about three miles from the falls. The
railroad will cross the gorge a few
hundred yards below them on the
steel suspension bridge now building,
but from no point where the falls
can be viewed can the railroad be
seen. The policy is to preserve I'M
impaired the beauty of the falls and
their surroundings.
The finest views of this fascinat-
ing wonder of nature are obtained on
the south side of the Zambesi and
along this shore of the river the
Park of Peace is now being land out.
In this park good roads will lead to
every point of vantage along the river
bank, where the various aspects of
the falls may be seen to the best adj
vantage. The falls are so large that
they can not be observed in their en-
tirety from any point, but the major
attractions are In view from the
southern bank.
The only building permitted in the
park will be the large hotel. five

company is now putting up. 1t will

QUEER THINGS NEW YoxXERs
NAV M

There are a whole lot of things
that a man who wants fun of the
asinine sort can do in this city with
out fear Of legal arrest" remarked
a Gothamite to a visitor in the me-
tropolis. when say legal arrest
l mean just that. There are a lot
of things a policeman will arrest you
for when he has no legal right to-.
If you get arrested often enough
along the line l suggest, and If you
get the right sort of a lawyer you
might live very comfortably on the
false arrest damages you could COL
lect.
For instance. here's one Of the ap-
parently illegal things you can do,
and which is in reality, perfectly
legal: You can walk down Broadway,
at the time the theater crowd is
thickest, brandishing a revolver in
one hand and a knife in the other.
weapons. or threaten anyone with
them, or cause crowd to collect,
there is no law that can touch you.
No crowd will collect, although sew
eral dozen crowds may scatter as you
wander into them. Oh, yes, you'll be
run in. of course, before you've walk
ed block; but there's no law on the
books that can justify such an ar
rest.
Similarly, If you're fond Of snakes
you can carry one into a theater
and Irvine it about your neck during
the intermission. AS long as the
snake isn't menace to anyone and
as long as you don't Intentionally in
terrupt the performance, the ensuing
stampede can't land you, legally, in
Jail. There's a law or something Of
the sort against dogs in theaters and
cars. but none against snakes.
You can also smoke a pipe in sur
face or L trains without fracturing
any law or any rule of the road.
There are signs forbidding passen-
gers to smoke or carry lighted cigars
or cigarets on platforms or trains,
but not a word is said about pipes.
And when you're kicked off the car
for pipe smoking, 1t seems to me you
have nice little case against the
company.
"The law against expectoration in
public conveyances, likewise, reads
so as to apply only to the floors Of
such conveyances. The seats, walls,
etc, are not specified-or weren't
when I last read the warning.
"In like manner, when summer
comes again, there is no law posted
in any conspicuous place forbidding
you to DO your modest bathing suit
and go swimming in the park lakes.
You'll be hauled out and dragged to
the arsenal before you've taken 10
strokes; but, with the right sort of
lawyer, 1 think you can quickly prove
that your arrest was Illegal and that
you broke no law whatever
"These are only one or two of 40
things which the average New York
er imagines would subject their per-
petrators to immediate arrest, but
which. in reality, are not at all ille-
gal"

HELP BEAUTlFY TOWN.
xfhe School Children Of Cleveland
Taught Home Gardening

TnuSnt Home tsnruenlnS.
The plan of enlisting the aid OF
school children In identifying town
has met with great success In Cleve-
land. Every spring the wOmans aux
Hilary of the Manufacturers assOcia
ton of that city takes up the work, and
the pupils of the public schools are
taught how to bcautify their yards
and residences with flowers. vines etc.
The "homc gardening" project has
been enthusiastically taken up again
this year in Cleveland. The auxiliary
has added large variety of seeds to
its list, as the prospects are favorable
for a much larger sale than that of last
year. SiXty-twO thousand packages Of
seeds of the common varieties of flow
ers were distributed last year. 1t is
expected that 100000 packages will be
given out this spring TO the school chill
dren. The packages are sold to the
children for cent each, cost Mt
which any child in the city can secure
a bundle of seeds that will beautify
some barren spot.
Suggestions are given weekly to the
children on seed planting, and among
these published recently were the fol
lowing:
The auxiliary has perennials among
its seeds this season. These will not
bloom this year, but their deep, strong
roots take firm hold In the soil and will
blossom next summer and thereafter
for years. They are Of easy culture
hrtx al
most no care. The planting of peren-
malls, however, will be considered
later.
Sweet peas should be the first plant
ed. The first essential is rich, mel
low soil in Il sunny place. The ground
should be turned over and over to
break up the clods and to allow the
loan. This should be done week or
more before time to SOW seed. The
seed should be dropped In n trench five
inches deep and an inch or two of mel
low earth sprinkled over them.
AS the sprouts appear more dirt
should be added until the trench IL
filled and the plants are several inches
high. Then the tendrils should be
started up support Of strings or
brush. Brush is often preferable.
When the flowers are In bloom they
make beautiful screen for an old
fence or n pretty background for low
growing plants.
Sweet peas are exceedingly desirable
flowers for table or other decoration.
They bloom profusely, and they may
be used lavishly every day for two or
three months, only all the blooms must
be cut off-every one-for il seed pods
