The railroad commission of that state
is authority for these figures, and they
must therefore be correct. Railroads

witnessed Niagara illuminated and he

Later, under the guidance of Dean
Stanley, he saw the holy land. He has
assembled the great pyramid. He has
steamed up the Nile and traversed the
Suez canal. He has threaded the OAR

accompanied the remains of car

WANDERING NIGHT HERONS.
An Interesting Experiment with the
Birds by the Smithsonian
Institution.

Eight hundred night herons are wan
dering free about the United States,
each wearing on one leg an aluminium
hand-inscribed "Smit hsonian Institu-
ton" and number. If any person
shoots one of these birds he should
write to Paul Bartsch, biologist of the
Smithsonian. telling him. where it was
and how large was the bird. The night
heron is one of the most beautiful of
the aquatic birds of America, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, but scientists
know less about it than they are salts
fled with.
Last year Mr.. Bartsch discovered
several of these birds on the Potomac,
in the District of Columbia. Recently
he visited the place with several assist
ants in the night, and the 800 alumni
ium bands were fastened to the legs
of as many young herons. Scientists
are anxious to know how. long the
night heron lives, where it spends the
winters and how much of the country
it covers in it's wanderings. It is be-
lieved that by the time few of the
numbered aluminium bands have been
reported some of these facts will have
been established to the satisfaction
of the ornith ologists.

THE LIME JUICE ISLAND.
MOntserrat, I'm the British West In
dies, One Vast Garden of
Lime Trees.

Nearly all the hme-juice used in the
world comes from the tiny island of
Montserrat, in the British West In
dies. The lime grows wild in many
West. Indian i Stands, but only in
Montserrat is it used commercially,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean: That
island is one vast garden of ime-trees,
and nowhere in the world is there
finer sight than it's 30 miles of orchards
laden with the fruit of the lime or fra
grant with it's blossoms. =:
The fruit is gathered by negro wom-
en-, who carry it down the hills to the
shipping ports in big baskets on their
heads. Like all West Indians, thew
are remarkable for their ability to
carry heavy weights in this manner.
Once, the company which controls the
lime-juice industry sought to tighten
the burden of its laborers by intro
ducing wheelbarrows. The negroes
filed the wheelbarrows readily enough.
and then carried them on their heads
as they had been used to carry the
baskets. Many a negro woman will
carry hundred-weight of lines on
her head for distance of mile or
more. .-... ri. ss., .~ztssss.s.s

BRITAIN'S POSTAL BANKS.
Deposits. But No Uneasiness
Is Felt.

The fact is odd, says the New York
World. The post office savings banks
of Great Britain are technically insol-
vent. Their deposits at the end of the
year were $7OO, e0O, 600, their assets only
about $670,oOo,ooo: Nobody worries
about little thing like that; the gov
eminent is responsible. Of course the
discrepancy rose from the high prices
the department. was forced to pay for
national bonds before the Boer war.
The lowering of the rate of interest
allowed is an obvious cure. The postal
banks were authorized in 1881 and near
ly $10,0oo,0oo was deposited thezfirst
year. Some later developments are
curious. BY the "slip" system a sum
so small as two cents can be deposited.
Deposits can be. withdrawn by tele-
graph. School savings banks are rec
nized. but are not very successful, ow-
ing to the superior attractions of
sweets as a medium Of investment, A
feature of the postal banks is that.
through their agency, depositors can
buy small fractional portions of gov
eminent bonds. q.

EDWARDS PRIVATE BAND.
D1ssolut1on OF the Historic Institu-
tion Through the Playing
of Ragtime.

King Edward has given orders for
the disarmament of his private band.
one of the ancient: features of his
court. In it's present form it was es-
tablished by Charles H., and some
authorities assert that ''state' band
existed in the day> of Queen Eliza
beth. 1t is composed of "a musi-
clans, under the direction of Sir
Walter Parratt, master of the mu-
sick" It's members are; the best that
can be secured in England, and this
is the real cause of it's dissolution.
Unlike his mother, King Edward does
not care much for state concerts bv
his own musicians, and since his &C
cession the duties of the band have
been confined chiefly to the playing
of light music, including ragtdme.
during royal dinners. This they re-.
gard as undignified, and the king re-
CARDS as extravagant. The Same
music can be played as well by fewer
and less notable musicians. There
fore another ancient institution ha.
been done away with.

TURK WANTS BIBLE CHANGED.
Word "MacedOnia'' in Publica-
tiOn of American Society.

According to the London Daily Mail
the Turkish censorship at Constanti-
nople has objected to an American
Bible publishing firm printing the
word macedonia" in the Epistle to
the Thesalonians, chapter 1, verses six
to eight, and chapter 4, verses nine and
ten. The censor insists that the words
"the vilayets of Salonica and Monastir'
be substituted for 'Maced onia. The
Mail says it understands that the firm
is the American Bible society, which
cooperates with the British and For
eign Bible society. The latter says
that Americans will cease circulating
the Scriptures in Turkey rather than
alter a single word in the Bible.

Letter TO R. H. Minis.

Dear Sir: You ask how many
square feet gallon will cover. De-
pends on condition of building.
There is a great deal of lying on
this point. The stock claim of lly-
ing paints is 300 square feet, two
coats. It's a lie, as a rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 500, our
agents think. We think 300 too
low and 5U0 too high; though
doubtless, they both occur.
How much the other paints cover
is equally doubtful; we guess 100
to 400.
The truth is found in another
comparison. Devoe is all paint,
true paint. strong paint, and full
measure; the others in general are,
at best. diluted, adulteraled and
short-measure. They cover accord
ing to body and measure. You can't
palut with clay lime chalk sand
barytes water or air-no body in
them. Go by Devoe.
Yours truly,

had been prepared in such great

were satisfied enough was left to
