TAKE UP BRITISH SPORT.
Wealthy Americans Are Now TAX
ing Shots at the Grouse Over
Alien Moors.

Americans who have gone to Great
Britain for the shooting season send
word that the sport is expected to be
above the average, the dry spring and
early summer having greatly favored the
Matching and raising of the young birds
in the preserves and on the moors. The
shooting was poor last year-the worst
since 1896 The advance conditions were
the same in both bad seasons, an un-
usally heavy winter being followed by
freshets and ~protracted rains in the
spring, so that the birds were drowned
while Matching or else the young were
killed off by the wet The opposite con-
ditions prevailed this year
1t is becoming quite the usual thing
among American devotees of live bird
shooting to take a run across the Allan
tic to get a share of the English sport
with the grouse, partridge or pheasants
ard to join in the country eayeties
issued in by the shooting.
The signal was the start OF the
grouse shooting on August IL, and the
birds will be fair game until December
10. The red grouse is confined to the
British isles, and it is the best shooting
in the world, according to wing shots.
The law does not open on cartridges until
September /. and on pheasants until DC
tober l. both seasons closing on Feb

CANNOT LIVE ON AMAZON.
American Consul at Para, Brazil, Says
Existence Along the River
Would Be Miserable.

In q report to the state department;
Louis H Ayme, the American consul at
Para, Brazil. after a trip up the Amazon
river to inspect the agency there and
to gain some information as to the COM
mercial and other conditions, says that
a person hardly can make a bare living
on the banks of the Amazon. Il do not
say that the acquisition OF a fortune or a
competence is difficult, doubtful or I'M
possible says Mr.. Ayme,' 'but that such
a miserable existence as would disgust Il
Digger Indian would be hardly obtaina-
BILE by one man in 10000 of steh as are
thinking of coming here" The consul
says there is very little grazing land and
that little is held entirely by private
owners.
Mr.. Ayme says he asked a man in
Manaos whether he thought young men
with small capital could do anything In
cattle-raising on the Amazon. The re-
ply was that it would be criminal to per-
init any young man with money and
energy to come and find the grave of
both on the banks of the Amazon. The
consul says there are near the Amazon
some Of the most beautiful and valuable
woods in the world, as well as fruits.
nuts, oils, balsams and gums, but they
are found as rarely as diamonds in the
gravel. Mr.. Ayme adds that there may
be places in Brazil where colonists might
do well, but he does not know of them.

Genius of Gamond.

Since a French engineer named
Gamond planned a submarine tunnel,
in 1857. various projects have been
advanced for connecting England with
the continent. The latest is the sug-
gestion OF Bunau-Varilla, who wants
to build a tunnel to within three
kilometers OF England, and thence a
bridge, which England (Which has not
favored a tunne) could destroy at any
time in case of danger of a foreign in
vasion, thus rendering the tunnel use
less

in whose support she appeared when
he produced the play "Peter the

It appears that at q rehearsal Of
the play in question at the Lyceum

max had been reached, which was to
be heightened by the effective use
of the usual thunder and lightning.
The stage carpenter was given the
order. The words were spoken, and
instantly noise, which resembled
q succession of pistol shots, was
heard off the wings.
"What on earth are you doing.
