Science Monthly. It tells the thoughtful
readers of the country what is being done
to preserve the natural scenery and con-
ditions at the headwaters Of the Miss's-
sippi, and should have special interest
to Minnesotans. Professor Kingery vis-
tied the Lake Itasca region on his vaca-

a forest reserve. He says "the' idea cer-

 The bombardment last until quarter of twelve. The Japanese aimed well, two shells bursting at the summit of one fort. and a numebr on the cliff and the beach. All were heavy shells. The rate of fire on both sides was slow Three Russian bat tleships were hit. but the extent of the damage could not be ascerfained- Appar- ently no ship on either side was disabled. The Russian cruiser Noyik fought pluckily, keeping closer by far than any other Rus sian vessel to the Japanese, until the heavy fire concentrated on her compelled her to re- tire on the battIeships. The other Russian , cruisers fought at first outside the line of battleshiDs.
 The Russians seemed to fight with little formation, but this was probably due to the craniped space, they being never more than one and one-half miles from the sore and under the guns of the forts, which fired over them. This fire. however, was not ire quent.

Department Cannot Reduce Expenses to
 Full Amount.
 The committee on public lighting submit ted to his honor, the mayor, their annual report for the year 1903. The report states that the appropriation was SS7, ,492.75, and that the amount expended was $S7, ,014.2 .26, which leaves q balance unexpended of $47S.49.
 The committee has held % meetings and 9 petitions, etc, have been acted upon. No new police signal lamps have been erect ed, but there have been a number of chang es and additions made in the various forms of street lighting.
 The total number of lamps in use Decem- Der 31, 1903, was as follows: Police signal, S7; Welsbach gas, 1,102; Welsbach naphtha, 233; electric arc, 554; total, 1926 This Is of street signs amount to 39l.
 The appropriation as granted for 1904 on present number of lamps burning is about S700 short of running expenses. The re port states 1t will be impossible for the de- partment to reduce expenses to the fuli amount needed.
 The report of the inspector, Henry Hop kns, states that some plan should be de- yised for funds to trim trees near the pub lie lamps, also for street signs for the en- tire city, as well as for repair of walks where posts are taken up. These requests have been presented annually for several years and have been subjects for considera- ble complaint on the part of citizens.
 The call for aarc lamps, the report states, is greatly in excess of the committees re- sources to grant.

PowHATAN.

How One Should Pronounce the Name
 of the Famous Indian.
 The name of that old Indian king who ruled over most of eastern Virginia in the earliest colonial days is not called as much now as it was formerly. It survives in good old Powhatan coun- ty and in the Powhatan p>Se, and in six different post-offices in different states of the Union. In Kansas they have Powhatan, which we suppose is a mis- spelling, following a mispronunciation of Powhatan. But many people of this generation have forgotten, if they ever knew, that King Powhatan's summer ''capitar' was about half mile below Richmond, while his winter quarters were in Gloucester, and that he was al- ternately a good friend and great en- emy of Captain John Smith, and that he was the father of Pocahontas, from whom descended many Virginians of distinction.
 But so 1t was, and all that sort of thing makes us close connections of his. However, he was of a rowing disposi- tion, and moved his town of tents-te- pees-from place to place, and it is hack drivers history" only that he died at his sometime home near this city, known as Powhatan.
 We do not fail to remember that l Powhatan was the name of the James river before the colonists intruded their ships and sl1iffs upon it-but that is another story.
 Once it was quite common for Vir- ginia boy babies to be christened Pow < hatan' and girls ''Pocahontas, but not so now. We can well understand how the latter name ceased to be agreeable to ladies since the usual diminutive of it was 'Pokie but why the royal name of Powhatan hould have fallen into 5isuse is not so obvious. Howev- CT a period came when provision had 10 be made for the perpetuation of the fame of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Lafayette John Marshall Patrick Henry and other ''patriotio fathers" Then Andrew Jackson and | Winfield Scott had to have their day, and yet later Lee, Beauregard, Ashby and other Confederate names attained popularity. But fashions change in names as they do in clothes, and, just now there is a tendency to turn back to old family registers, and reproduce the names of the long ago, and it may be that we shall have soon new crop of ''Powhatans. We are not so hopeful about the re-establishment of "Poca- hontas' in public favor; the reason why we have already given. But Po- chontas other Indian name was Ma teo," or 'Matoaca," and that is pretty, and is not liable to any objection, so far as we can see.
 When she and John Rolfe had made a match" she embraced Christianity, and was baptized under the name of Rebecca. But. all that aside-we con clude by expressing an ardent hope that the new Powhatan babies may have their names correctly pronounced. We can tolerate no imitation of theti sound of Manhattan Let it be good, old-fashioned, Virginia Powhatan with the "h'' silent, and the second accent on the tan. Richmond Times Dis patch.

 Tt was a case of chronic gastritis where the patient had seen the rounds of much stereotyped treatment and where there was much depression caus- ed by long persistence of distress at the stomacll--pain, gas and burning soon after eating.
 Though I had been regulating the diet considerably while giving medicine 1t occurred to me that would try reg ulating it without medicine, and in looking about among the foods I soon found Grape-Nuts was the best adapt ed to my purpose. Starting in with Grape-Nuts alone, I allowed my patient to take it first with hot water and a very little sugar at intervals of three hours. After few days I instructed the patient to use 1t with warm milk ct should have been served with cream on the start).
 Improvement was marked from the start. The eructations of gas were at once greatly diminished and the terri- ble burning and distress were lessened in proportion, while the spirits bright ened. At the end of two weeks my pa- tient had so far improved that she was allowed some chicken broth which di- gested perfectly. It has been over two months and she has increased her diet in variety until now it includes all that is needed to avoid monotony and main- tain relish.
 ''Grape-Nuts, however, still holds a prominent place on her table, as it will continue to do for she realizes that 1t is a sheet anchor Name of the physici- an given by Postum Co, Battle Creek Mich.

RACING WITH A MOOSE.


 Man We'll Mounted Tries to Run It
 Down
 Ernest G. Judkins, bookkeeper for the Kineo company, had a remarkable experience with a bull moose on the carriage road to Deer Head farm, two
 miles from Kineo. MT. Judkins was taking a morning ride, galloping along level stretch, when the horse came to standstill with jolt and snort. Looking ahead, MT, Judkins saw bull
 moose feeding on the tender sprouts
 of the bushes growing by the roadside, not sixty yards away. MT. Judkins'
 first impulse was to ride the moose
 down. but he thought better of this, and hooted to attract the animals at tention, and possibly to frighten him from the road, so that he could proceed. But the moose fed calmly on. At the end of few minutes the beast moved
 down the road in search of more food, and MT. Judkins followed at 8, respect ful distance, hooting until his throat was hoarse, but he might just as well have whispered as far as lthe moose l Wuo COhSCA llC0s HIS pICtG6uluR was repeated over half a mile of road.
 l At the end of that distance the moose l faced about and began feeding to- ward the horse and rider, casting an
 unconcemed look in their direction every now and then, and MT. Judkiny steed did the back step for a few rods. 1 This was a little too much for the horseman, and, becoming impatient, l he gave a tremendous yell to attract the attention of the moose, which was successful, plunged spurs into the horse and made for the irnpudent highway
 man, pell mell.
 With the first leap of the horse the | indifference of the moose changed to concern, and, turning abruptly about, 1 he started down the road at great. clumsy trot. This put new and in l teresting phase to the situation, and, urging on his horse, MT. Judkins pro- | ceeded to have his turn at the sport, only hoping that the moose would
 keep to the road. The moose obliged
 in this particular, and the horse was a good one and entered into the spirit of the chase, but try as he could the distance between him and the fleeing animal did not lessen materially.
 | T never saw anything like it." said MT. Judkins to the correspondent.

"That great, ungainly animal trotting on ahead as clumsily as a razorback runs, and maintaining his lead with apparently no effort whatever, while my horse was logging it for all that was in him. had heard that moose had speed, but when I started after that bull would have laid ten to one odds that could overhaul him inside of 200 yards-that I could have ridden all around him."
 After hot race covering fully half a mile, the moose turned into the for est and disappeared. From the 18th on MT. Judkins will carry a carbine when he ridesBangor Commercial.
