A N TOP

Remarkable Exhibition Of Skill by
q tuLen
A Japanese student of medicine was
showing a group of Americans what he
could do in the way of top spinning,
says the New York Telegram.
He took up a big yellow top shaped
like a chrysanthemum, wrapped a silk
cord about it and threw it down. 1t
spun beautifully, this huge flower, and
out Of it all Of a sudden a half dozen
smaller flowers leaped and spun in
their turn about the floor.
"a chrysanthemum top" said the
young man. Here is a bird top"
He corded and threw down a top that
resembled a gorgeous bird. This top
as it spun opened and closed it's wings
and made long leaps to left and right
in imitation of a birds fight.
The Japanese student wound a red
top a big as his head and hurled 1t
violently straight at one Of his guests.
1t shot through the air till it was with
in a few inches Of the frightened young
mans face. and then, as though by

and the student caught it on his palm
and held it there, still spinning.
''This is a boomerang top" he said.
And again he threw it across the room,
and again it shot back, still spinning,
to his hand.
The young man now set going ST
m~ultaneously a dozen small tops Of
red and yellow and green paper. They
looked plain and commonplace as they
spun, but suddenly they began to open
out, and one became a ladder, another
a lantern, a third a ship, a fourth a
branch of cherry blossoms. a fifth a
dancing girl. and SO on.

noted for their kites. Why is it that
we Japanese are not equally noted for
u tops? All yer our country we
spin tops, and my little exhibition here
would seem poor and mean beside the
n that a really expert spinner could
give you in Japan"

forest Of De Melley. The trees Of the
forest were SO interviewer with tangled
creepers and underwood that one had
often to crawl to make ones way
through 1t. On the sixth day in the
forest we came on the spoor Of okapi.
We had been following it for hours
when, on suddenly turning round q
bush, l saw an okapi not more than
fifteen feet in front Of me-.
'It was an animal something like q
giraffe, some ten or eleven feet high,
Of a tawny gray in color, with stripes

into the thicket before I could get my
rifle from the native who was carrying
it. I never saw the okapi again."

of apples, planted this year for ex-
perimental purposes, the idea being
to determine the best varieties for
this climate. There are also twenty
varieties of cherries, plums, pears,
prunes, ETC., planted for the same pur-
pose. In fact, this is said to be a
more complete experiment than that
usually made at government expert
ment stations.
Going down through the peach or

Think of thirteen apples on a branch

A GAY BENEDIcK.
Justice Henry b. Brown Tells Of His
Runaway Match.

Justice henry %. Brown Tells Of His
Runaway Match.
Happy as a boy in his first love. JUS
tice Henry B. Brown, one of the old
est members Of the United States SUI
preme court, has been spending his
honeymoon with his bride at Atlantic
City, N. j., says the New York World.
Albeit more dignified, the justice and
his bride are as loving as ever any
youthful Romeo and Juliet.
To the utter surprise Of family and
friends, Justice Brown and his bride,
Mrs. Josephine B. Tyler, stole from
Washington and went to Crosswicks,
where they were married.
ut was a sort Of runaway match sc
far as ! was concerned, but l have
nothing to hide" said the judge. II
sought to escape newspaper comment.
l didn't desire any fuss, and so l
thought I'd do as some of the younger
boys do-go and get married without
any person knowing it.
II didn't tell any n except my sec
rotary, and I didn't tell him until an
hour before I went away"
1t wasn't a fair question, thought
the justice when the reporter asked
how long had been his courtship. He
replied laughingly:
you might say years. Mrs. Tyler
was a dear friend of my wife. She was
with her when she died four years ago.
She has been a friend of years. That
isn't a fair question, but Mrs. Tyler
didn't know my plans until recently.
"Every man should get married. But,
no, l refuse toSmoralize. If / retire, l
shall probably go to Europe for a time
and SOW my wild OATS"
Once more the justice INDUCED in a
laugh. II feel in splendid health, and
/ desire a little fun in my declining
years."

the eye consists of five rows of plums,
stretching clear cross the orchard.
It was a surprise to see most OF
these $50 trees loaded with fruit, this
being generally considered an off year
for plums. But Mr.. Chilcott explain
ed that success in this line depends
largely upon the varieties planted.
East of the plums are three rows
of cherries. The cut appearing here
with represents them as they were
three years ago. They have since, OF
course, attained a fine growth and
productiveness. The writer has
heard of their beauty when in bloom,
and the early varieties, already ripe
and sampled, taste even better than
they look.

DEFINING AUTHORITY.
Bill Giving Definite Power in the De-
signation Of Business Streets.

The draft of a bill to more clearly define
the authority of the Commissioners in des-
ignating certain streets in the city as bust
ness streets was today transmitted to Con-
gress by the Commissioners, with the re-
quest for its passage. The District authori-
ties state that the present law on the SUBJ
ject is contained in the parking act, passed
July l, 1898, and that its provisions are too
indefinite.
The proposed bill provides that the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia are
authorized and directed to denominate por-
tons of streets in the District Of Columbia
as business streets and to authorize the
use, on such portions of streets, for bust
ness purposes by abutting property owners,
under such general regulations as the Com
missioners may prescribe, of SO much of the
sidewalk and parking as may not be need
ed, in the Judgment of the Commissioners,
by the general public. under the following
conditions.
First. Where. in a portion Of street not
already denominated a business street, a
majority of frontage Of not less than
three blocks In length Is occupied and used
for business purposes; and, second, where a
portion of street has already been denom-
mated a business street and there exists
adjoining such portion a block or more
whose frontage is occupied and used for
business purposes.

Bryan's Vote.

10 the Editor or The Evening Star:
There is just as much hoax in the state
ment that the western democrats polled
6.502. COO; the western states cast 1923, 436;
Marconigram received by Mr.. De Almond.
The whole vote for Mr.. Bryan In 1900 was
600; the western states cast 3, 123, 436;
the total vote cast was 1890. 3O0 so that
the whole democratic vote did not exceed
$500, COO nor did the western democrats
cast even one-half. In 1892 the western
democrats, when voting for Mr.. Cleveland
did cast more than half, for their votes
numbered $50 058 out of total democratic
vote of 5,39S 223, and they elected their man.
Mr. Cleveland in his elections got the cleo
toral votes of California, Illinois, Indiana
Michigan, North Dakota, West Virginia
and one in Ohio, total of sxty-six cleo
toral votes. Mr.. Bryan in 1900 gathered in
from these same states not a single electoral
vote. Mr.. Cleveland svotes also contributed
eight United States senators and fifty repre-
sentatives from the same western states;
Mr. Bryans vote gave us not single sena-
tor and only nineteen representatives from
the above states. j. w. WILLIAMS.

DISTRICT BUILDING LINES.
Draft of Amendatory Bill Submitted te
Congress.

The Commissioners today forwarded to
committees on the District of Columbia the
draft of a proposed bill relating to the es-
Establishment of building lines in the District,
with the request for Its early passage. In
their letter to Congress the Commissioners
state:
der an act of Congress approved January
II, 1889. This law provides for payment
OF damages for the land taken in establish
ing such lines, and that such payment shall
be made out of funds available for Open
ing, Widening and Extending Alleys 1t
further provides that the jury empaneled in
the case shall apportion an amount equal to
the amount of said damages, including the
cost of the proceeding, on each lot or parcel
OF land that may be benefited by the estab-
lishment of such lines The total cost of
such proceedings is such, however that the
funds made available for the purpose are
not sufficient to accomplish the desired re-
suits.
THE purpose of the proposed bill is that
where possible the benefits assessed by the
jury shall be deducted from the damages
awarded by 1t and only the balance shall be
made by Congress in regard to street ex-
tensions. the provision being contained IL
the District of Columbia appropriation act
for the fiscal year 1908.
IF this bill is passed, the cost of such
proceedings will be very materially reduced
and the Commissioners will be enabled to
establish more building lines
