IN CANADIAN MOUNTAINS.
Dangers Incurred by Members of
Scientific Expeditions in
Climbing Them.

"We have had few accidents in the
mountain climbing of western Canada, !"
said Arthur o. Wheeler, F. r. G. s.,
the topographer of the department of
the interior of the Dominion of Cana
da, at the geographers convention ir
Washington the other day. 81 was
descending the Bishops glazier one day
with party. Two of us who were 60

looked like a .streak of snow extending
across the ice; suddenly we heard a
shout behind and turning around saw
nobody. Soon the rim of a hat and
the top of nose appeared above the
snow bank; their owner had disap-
peared into a crevasse, but had been
saved in his downward fight by his

"Sir Martin Conway has described
mountaineering as the art of doing diff
ficult things in comparatively safe
way, and the better the mountaineer a
man is the less danger he risks. This
has often been proved true in Canadian
mountains, and we have been wonder
fully free from accident This we at
tribute in no small part to the careful
and intelligent guides who have been
established ut all important points.
Perhaps the best statement of the pos
sibilities of the region which 1 have
been surveying comes from Professor
Fay, president of the American Alpine
club, to the effect that from a single
viewpoint in the Canadian Rockies one
may see hundred unnamed peaks, all
over 10000 feet above the sea and COW

The Color of Hair.

From the color of mans hair may
be learned good deal in regard to his
intellectual ability, says professor
who has for some months been closely
studying the subject School boys with
chestnut hair, he maintains, are likely
to be more clever than any others, and
will generally be found, at the head of
the class, and in like manner girls with
fair hair are likely to be far more studi-
Gus and bright than girls with dark hair.
In mathematics and Rotations these
boys and girls, he asserts, especially ex-
eel. On the other hand, he says that
boys and girls with brown hair are
most likely to attain distinction through
their individuality and style, and that
those with red or auburn hair do rot
often excel in any respect.

A PLANT or RAPID GROWTH
Some Interesting Figures Pertain
ing TO the Postal Service.
The Revenues, i'm Halt u Century,
Have Increased FROM @5,5OO,0OO
to About S14O,OOO,OOO.


Washington. Oct. IS. Significant fig-
ures are those which express the
growth of the post Office service dur
ing the last few years. When Nathan
K. Hall, of New York, was postmaster
general, under appointment of Presi-
dent Fillmore, in 1850, the entire rev.
enues of the department we're approx
imately $5,500,000. Postmaster General
Wynne has taken charge of the de-
partment with the annual revenue APP
proximately reaching $4,000, 900.
In 1850 there were few more than
$4,000 Offices in the country; there are
now nearly $4,000, and in 1900 they
reached the high-water mark of 49,
691, since which time the establish
ment of the rural free delivery has les
sened the number of post offices.
There was no railway mail service
for Is years after Postmaster General
Hall left Office, that branch Of the sery-
ice having been born in 1866, when
there were GA clerks employed. Post
master General Wynne has taken
charge of more than 10000 clerks, and
has an annual pay roll for this branch
of the service of more than $11 900, 900
Only seven years ago there were "A
carriers in the rural free-delivery serv-
ice. There are now more than $4,000,
and they are being constantly aug
mented by new appointees. In 1898,
with force of 14S carriers, the cost of
the service was $4,000 Now it is more
than 100000 and is constantly in
creasing.
This increase, however, is at the ex-
pense of the post offices of the country,
for in 1898 these numbered approxi-
mately $4,000, while more than 1000 of
these have been since discontinued
with the advent of the rural free de-
livery system.
There are about 10000 carriers for
the city free delivery service of the
country, while in 1868, when this serv-
ice was established, there were 685 car
riers. These have been continually in
creased with the growth of the entire
postal service, 5000 having been add
ed to the roll between 1895 and 1900.
The cost of this service increased from
100000 at it's establishment to approx
imately $20,O0O,00O to-day.

THEIR SENTENCES AFFIRMED
The United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals, sitting at st. Paul, says

st. Louis, Oct. 1S.-An opinion af-
firming the Judgment of the st. Louis
federal court in the cases of Thomas

former chairman of the democratic

November Is last, of aiding and abet-

handed down by the United States
court of appeals, in session at st. Paul,
MINI.
Barrett, Dolan and Garrett are now
out on boad, which they furnished to
the court in the sum of $4,000 each.
Under the rules of the United States
court, the sentence does not become
operative for rs days, which time is
allotted the defendants to file motion
for rehearing. If no rehearing is
granted, they must proceed at once to
the penitentiary, Notwithstanding any
appeal which they may take to the
United States court at Washington.
The conviction of Dolan, Barrett and

upon the testimony of John Barbaglia.

J. Murphy, clerk of the st. Louis court

During the course of an investigation
Is months ago, the federal authorities
learned that aliens coming to st. Louis
ard not entitled to citizenship had
been naturalized by the wholesale;
that not only did these applicants often
fail to appear at court, but that they
were handed the necessary papers at
their homes.
A number of arrests followed these
disclosures, and among those caught
were Nathan Levin, president of the
Hebrew Jefferson club, and John Bar
baglia. Levin is now serving five
year sentence in the Missouri peniten-
tiary. Barbaglia received a similar

papers for the purpose of enlisting
them as voters.
1t developed at the triple trial OF
Barrett, Garrett and Dolan that hun
dreds of naturalization papers were
distributed to the residents of 'Dago
hill"
One large batch in particular was
delivered at Barbaglia's house one
night, just before election, in 1902, by
Policeman Frank Garrett.
Garrett, it was shown, had received
the spurious certificates which Long
john Dolan, who previously had con-
ferred with Barbaglia regarding the
matter, had secured.
Further, the testimony revealed that
blank certificates were taken from the
office of John ]. Murphy, clerk of the
court of appeals, and an examination
of these established that the signature
of the clerk was forged by Marshal
Barrett.
The revelations resulted in the res
ignation of Barrett as marshal of the
court. Subsequently, Barbaglia was
pardoned by President Roosevelt.

How to Make German Pie.

A delicious pie of German origin is

raised over night, as bread is raised.
with the addition of an egg worked into

this crust is rolled out about an inch
