Tiaers In India.

Last year 1885 tigers, 4,37O pan
Tiers and leopards, 1000 bears, and
20S6 wolves were killed; of snakes
the real scourge OF indiana record
is possible, and, unfortunately. com
parativey few are destroyed. How.
ever deplorable and costly is the
taking of human and cattle life, the
descent upon promising crops by deer
and pigs and monkeys would be even
more serious to India, and more ex-
pensive to the natives, were 1t not for
the tiger, panther and leopard. This
formidable trio of the cat family and
practically police agricultural India,
where it pushes into the jungle, and
make it possible for the poor native
to exist through cultivation of his
fields. So, after all, il is a question
whether, speaking very broadly, tigers
are not more beneficial than harmful
Undoubtedly the depredations of the
tiger are over estimated, because it is
so feared that wherever it prowls in
variably panic spreads widely to its
discredit. On Indias last years death
list, 2.649 we're credited to wild beasts;
and while all Of these are laid up
against the tiger, panthers and wolves
and especially panthers, should be
charged with a very considerable
share. The fact is that the panther
and leopard-which, except as to size,
are about alike in spotted pela and
Temperate as much under estimated
as the tiger is overestimated. The
smaller leopard devotes itself more
largely to goats and pigs and monk

Unsuitable. PantheTs are bolder in at

vicious than tigers; yet they inspire
nothing like such awe among the ma

NATIONAL WORK
IN IRRIGATION
Number and Cost of Projects
Approved, Some Already
Begun.
TWO MILLION ACRES INVOLVED

There were few people who compre-
! hended the vast scope of the govern
ment work which was inaugurated by
| the passage Of the national irrigation
act three years ago, and today there
are many who have no knowledge of
what has been accomplished by the re-
clamation service of TIE government
in three short years along the line of
reclaiming the arid western lands.
The general reader may form some
idea of the progress of the work by
noting the, following facts, which are
brief summary of a statement re-
Gently issued by the reclamation SER
vice. There are now under actual con
struction, in eleven states and terrific
ries, the following projects, viz: Salt
River Yuma, Uncompahgre, Minido-
ka, Huntley, Fort Buford, North
Platte, Truckee-Carson, Hondo, Belle
Fourche, and Shoshone The total
amount set aside for beginning CON
struction on the above named pro-
jects is $23,S7O,O00, and the land irri-
gable under the same is estimated to
be 100000 acres. On one of these pro-
jects, the Truckee-Carson, the work
has been partially competed, and wa
ter was turned on $4,000 acres last
June.
The following projects have been
approved by the secretary of the in
terror and construction on the same
will soon be commenced klamath
Falls, Malheur, Milk River, Bismarck,
Buford-Trenton. Palouse, Payette
Boise, and Strawberry Valley. For the
construction of these $10,300,O0O have
been set aside, and $4,000 acres will
be irrigated under the same
Thus 1t will be seen that up to date
the total amount set aside for national
irrigation works is $34,270,000, and
that when this sum has been expend-
ed 100000 acres, now desert and
mostly unproductive, will be irrigat-
ed and become productive.
And this is only the beginning of
the great work of national irriga-
tion.

Carpenters strokes TO Drive n,NaiI.
How many hammer strokes does a
carpenter use in driving a nail?
Perhaps not one carpenter in a thou-
sand or one layman in ten times that
number can tell or ever think Of it.
The truth OF the matter is this: The
carpenter takes seven strokes in driv-
ing a nail into ordinary wood and
twelve regular strokes and two finish
Ing taps in driving nails into hard
wood.
These figures are furnished by man
who works at night and sleeps-Or tries
to sleep-by day and whose bedroom
window opens out upon a fiat building
IN course Of erection. He figured the
average number of hammer strokes for
nine mornings and, having learned
them. moved to a hotel until the new
building is completed.
He discovered that the carpenter
drives an average Of three nails a min-
ute in soft wood and a fraction under
three in hard wood. At this rate he
would drive LAO nails a day in soft
wood if he keeps up the gait steadily
and ,2S2 in hard wood. He would give
1O.OSO hammer strokes in soft wood
and %. 16O in hard wood.-Chicago TribI

GAS LEASE WAS
RUSHED THROUGH
Philadelphia Councils Adopt
1t Despite Protests of
People
MEMBERS HOOTEI and JEERED

Philadelphia, May 19.-Amid scenes
Of disorder unprecedented in the an
nails of Philadelphia's legislative body,
city councils voted to lease the city's
gas works to the United Gas Improve
ment company for a term of rs years
for the total sum of S25,000,000, the
money to be paid in various amounts
before the end of 1907. Councils
chambers and committee rooms were
crowded with excited citizens protest
ing against the lease to the United
Gas Improvement company from l p.
m, when the proceedings opened in
the finance committee room, until af-
ter p. m, when select council passed
the bill and sent it to the mayor.
The climax was reached when the
vote in common council was an
nounced after three hours of debate.
The moment President George Nc
Curdy, Of common council, announced
the vote a great uproar was started
in the gallery, which was crowded to
the doors. From all over the gallery
came Kisses and cries of thieves. ="
The outburst was somewhat startling
to the presiding officer, who made a
vain effort to quell 1t. Finally he sent
for a squad of police to clear the gal
lery, which started the disorder anew.
The crowd continued to hiss and call
the counciImen thieves and other
names until the police arrived and
started to clear the gallery. AS the
people moved out they sang uncompli-
mentary songs. In clearing the gal
lery there were several clashes be-
tween the police and some of the spec
tators. but no one was hurt.
All through the session Of common
council there was disorder. In select
council there were SO many police on
duty that no one dared to interrupt
the proceedings. There was neither a
cheer nor a hiss when the bill passed
that body.

CONFESSED MANY GRIMES
Admits Several Murders, Assaults and
Numerous Robberies.

Chester. W. Va. May 19--In let
ter to the police authorities of this
city a man signing himself "a. John
son" and claiming to be partner Of
Henry Williams, who was recently ex-
ecuted in Roanoke. Va, has confessed
to five murders and numerous robber-
les. His reasons for writing are that
other men have suffered for his crimes
and his conscience troubles him. He
says he has been converted. The dates
and manner in which the different
crimes were committed, as furnished
IN Johnson's letter, are more complete
than the police records, and the au-
thorities believe its authenticity.
According to Johnson, he killed a
woman at Chester, W Va; two Ital-
ians az Uniontown, Pa; a man at
Hyndman, Pa, and a woman at Mar
tins Ferry, o. He also claims to have
assaulted a woman at Staunton, Va,
for which crime, he says, another
man was lynched.
