CANADIAN RAILWAYS UNITE
FOR PROTECTION OF LIFE
VIII Adopt Uniform Rules to Insure
Operation of Trains With
Greater Safety

VANCOUVER. B. c., Oct. 1.-THE
various railway companies of the Do
minion of Canada have agreed among
themselves in response to a circular
from the Railway Commission, to
draft uniform set of rules to gov
ern the operation of trains. All roads
will be compelled to introduce block
safety systems wherever business Is
heavy enough to make it necessary
Automatic switching devices will be
insisted upon, so that semaphores will
first denote danger before a switch is
opened. Hand and light signals will
be made uniform on all roads, and a
rule will be introduced that no train
hand shall work more than a specified
number of hours each day, whether he
wants to or not.

plans which are recommended,

First - Take copperas, two

ENEMY OF WHALES.
Strange Creatures Said to Exist II
Alaskan Waters.

AldoAau waters
While operatinga fishery on Ad
miraly island, Alaska, last SUM
mer, says a writer, my attention
and the attention of my fishing
crew was almost daily attracted
to a large marine creature that
EOuld appear in the main channel
Of Seymour canal and our immedi-
ate vicinity. There are large num-
hers of whales of the species rOr
qual there, and the monster
seemed to be their natural enemy.
The whales generally travel in
schools, and while at the surface
to blow one would be singled out
and attacked by the fish, and a
battle was soon in order.
1t is the nature of the rorqual to
make three blows at intervals of
from two to three minutes each,
and then sound deep and stay be-
Beath the surface for 30 or 40 min.
ates. AS a whale would come to
The surface, there would appear
always at the whales right side
and Just above where his head
would connect with the body, a
great, long tail or fin, judged by
Eve fishermen and a number of In.
dians after seeing about Is times
at various distances" to be about
a feet long, q feet wide at the
end. and tapering down to the wa
ter, when it seemed to be about
Is inches in diameter, looking very
much like the blade of the fan of
an Old-fashioned Dutch windmill.
The great club was used on the
back Of the unfortunate whale in
such a manner that it was a won
der to me that every whale at
tackled was moi instantly killed.
It's operator seemed to have per.
feet control Of its movements,
and would bend it back till the end
wo1ld touch the water forming a
horseshoe loop, then with a sweep
it would be Strengthened and
brought over and down on the
back of the whale with a whack
that could be heard for several
miles, If the whale was fortunate
enough to submerge his body be
fore the blows came, the spray
wOuld fly to a distance of 100 feet
from the effect of the strike, max.
ing q report as loud as a yachts
signal gun.
What seemed most remarkable
to me was that no matter which
way the attacked whale went. or
how fast (the usual speed is about
Ia knots that great club would
follow right along by its side and
deliver these tremendous blows
at intervals Of about four or five
seconds 4 would always get in
from three to five blows at each OF
the three times the whale would
come to the surface to blow. The
whale would generally rid itself
of the enemy when it took its deer
sound, especially if the water was
40 fathoms or more deep. During
the day the attack was always of
shore, but at night the whales
would be attacked in the bay anC
within 400 yards Of the fishery.
81 do moi know of anywhales be
ing killed, but there were seyera
that had great holes and sores OF
their backs. Questioning the In
dams about it, I. was told tina.
there was only one, that ii ha,
been there for many years, an,
that it once attacked an Indian
canoe and with one stroke of tn,
great club smashed the cano,
into splinters, killing and drown
ing several Of its occupants.

Der of expert anthropOlOgists re
questing them to furnish reports
to the society as to the species of
birds now exhibited in milliners'
windows for the decoration of
wOmen's hats, says the London
Mail. AS a result it is to be hoped
that the ruthlessness of the
slaughter which is caused by this
traffic will be brought home to.
those directly concerned. We
learn from a correspondent who
is taking a prominent part in this
inquiry that the number of differ,
ent species now to be seen in the
London shops is greater than ever.
The ranks of the graceful little
sea swallows and gulls have been
heavily taxed. The black. headed
gull, which has become such a pop
ular favOrite at the bridges along
the Thames during the winter
months, is also especially prom
inent, whole birds in summer
dress being by no means rare.
Probably when the various re-
ports arrive over 200 different
kinds of birds will be found to fig
ure therein. Among the more
striking birds used for military
decoration to-day are various spe-
cies of humming birds, birds Of
paradise and sunbirds, kingfsh-
ers, egrets, herons, pigeons, owls,
swallows, titmice and parrots.

the same species. AS many as %
pairs of wings were used for this
purpose. Fancy two-and-twenty
victims displayed on one hat.
After this who shall call the Bore
an head-hunter a savage?
Besides whole birds there will
be found scores of nondescripts
such as the body Of a thrush or a
skylark, with a pair of terms
wings, and the head and wings OF
the beautiful white egret, dyed
green, fitted to the tail of a gull.
Tufts of egret plumes and the side
plumes of the bird of paradise are
as much seen as ever, though the
cruelty entailed in their collection
has been again and again pro
claimed from the housetops. The
present action of the Selborne so.
ciety has been prompted by the
announcement in the Diapers
Record, that the birds used for
millinery r not real, but are
manufactured by gluing duck
and pigeon feathers over a lumr
of cotton wool. This is merely tri

WHY RUSSIA WAS SLOW.
A Statement Of Situation In the Far
Eaaf

A Statement OF Situation IN the FaT
East.
London.-At last comes q clear, au-
thentic statement of the Russian mill
tary position in the far east, set forth
in terms which make the situation un.
derstandable by everybody.
1t comes in a letter from Mukden
written by H. ]. Whigham, war cor
respondent, after two months obser-
walton of Russian forces. He demon
strates how desperate was the Russian
situation from the outbreak of war un-
til almost the date of his writing in
the middle of June. and points out that
however great were the Japanese sue
cesses they might have been greater
if full advantage had been taken OF
Russian helplessness. Whigham says:
'If we exclude the men necessary
for guarding the railway and small
garrisons at places like Hardin and
Kirin, there were not more than 3d.
900 troops in southern Manchuria at
freely asserted by the Russians them
selves that such being the strength OF
the Russian army, the Japanese, after
the first torpedo attack on February
8, could have landed a single army
corps on the shores of Talienwan bay
or at Pitzewo, as they did later, and
Port Arthur must have fallen immedi-
ately. Thirty thousand men could
make the coup long before the Russian
troops at the Yalu could have march
ed to it's relief, and the effect of the
blow would have been terrific.
''The sole good excuse for such lost
opportunity seems to me to be that
the Japanese were always intent be-
fore anything else in securing Korea
and they made plans for throwing the
first army across the Yalu long be-
fore they declared war.
1T was during this period of great
uncertainty that Kuropatkin arrived
at Liaoyang. He found himself in
command of an army of $1,000 men
with less than 200 guns, strung out
along a single line of railway from
Lioayang to Port Arthur, with one
wing thrown out $50 miles to the Yalu
and right flank absolutely unprotect
ed except by a few guns in the ole
fort at Newchwang. All sorts of ex
pedients were Cesorted to in order that
the weakness should not be too appar
ent at Newchwang, where an attacE
was daily apprehended."

BeautifyinH Buildin1s.

Aside from its cleansing properties
lime in the form of whitewash used
as paint will materially improve tile
appearance of outbuildings. Unless
the barn is small coat Of paint is
preferable to the whitewash. If you
object to the staring white on the
buildings stir into the whitewash lit
tie lampblack, which will give the mix
ture lead color, light or dark, ac-
cording to the quantity Of lampblack
used. If one has stretch Of stone
fence or a stone outbuilding it may be
made exceedingly attractive by plant
ing Ampelopsis Veitchii Japanese or
Boston IVY, and letting it run over
the walls.
This plant is Of creeping nature
with sticky tendrils, which cling to any
rough surface. The green of the foliage
during the summer is exceedingly at
tractive and the shades of brown and
gold in the autumn as handsome as
the leaves Of the forest trees during
the same season. Plants are low In
price and in three years after setting
they will make growth sufficient to
cover the side of a building Of con-
siderable size.

How to Build a Land Roller.

How to Build Land Roller.
A roller is almost indispensable for
some kinds of farm work, and good
one may be made by covering mower
wheels with 2 by As, as shown in the
illustration. The roller can be made
any desired length, but seven feet Is
very good size. Cut the projections
from the surface of the wheels with a
heavy hammer and cold chisel. This Is
not as great a task as one would
think. Have your blacksmith drill the
holes If you have no drill, one every
four inches on alternate edges Of the
wheel. The holes and bolts should be
half an inch in diameter.
1t is best to have boxes bolted under
the frame for the journal and set
screws in the hubs. Make the frame
of by irch stuff. Gut lemons In the
end pieces to fit the mOrtise in front
and back and cut mortises in the end
