a.alinnr,n Grain Golah.

A curious instance Of the maGnif-
cence Of eastern ideas and admiration
for things that are large is the grain
"golah," to be seen at Bankipur, IN
Bengal, India. It was built as gran
ary in 1888, but never used as such.
It's walls are Of masonry twelve feet IN
thickness, and it stands ninety feet
high, with a circumference OF forty
three feet at the base, and would con-
tain about 10000 tons Of grain. Ac-
cess to the interior IS obtained by a
stsircase on the outside leading to a
platform on the top, where there Is q
stone placed in the center, which can
be removed. Now it Is perhaps the
finest whispering gallery In the world.

GurlDle Pie.

There is a queer twist Of language in
the phrase ito eat humble pie The
word humble" is a corrupted form OF
the original humble" which IS al In
edible part Of the carcass Of deer and
would make very poor pie. The words
humble pie'' have the same original
meaning as .'to eat crow" phrase
common in political life. There Is an
enforced humility in this process, and
the change from humble to humble
introduced a thought which harmo-
nized with the idea sought to be ex-
pressed. The last form Of the phrase
has entirely supplanted the original.

One of the worst assortment of

Leroy, the negro, who has already
served seven sentences in penitentiar-
les in the United States and is now
under sentence to spend the remainder
of his life in prison under the cumula-
tive sentence act, and John Hilder-
brant, a partner of White, who will
also serve a life sentence for murder.
At the same time Jonn Bush, the Is
year-old lad convicted of burglary and
sentenced to ten years, will be brought
to the penitentiary.
Sheriff Lou Smith, VINO was in Wal
la Walla a few weeks ago with sew
the gang now crowding the King coun-
ty Jail. Owing to the desperate nature
of several of the criminals it is neces-
sary to maintain an armed guard at
the Jail day and night. Sheriff Smith
has asked the state board of control
to transport the prisoners under SEN
tence as soon as possible and guards
from the penitentiary will leave for
Seattle in a few days to escort the
gang to Walla Walla. Under an act
passed by the last legislature the re-
sponsibility of removing conv1cts from

plan of Mr.. Anderson is to install a
large pumping plant on the island and
by raising water from the river irri-
gate the 5000 acres that the island
contains. Power for the pumps is to
be supplied with electricity and will
be transmitted from the electric COM

ST. PETERSBURG, March 25.-The
publication by the army organ today
of figures showing the strength of the
forces dispatched to the far east has
created a sensation in military circles
The war office is being freely criti-
cized for revealing military secrets.
The figures given show that up to
March u the war office had dispatched
13,0S7 officers, 761,467 men, LAG, ,40S
horses, 1921 guns and 726,321 tons of
munitions and supplies to the front,
declaring that the transportation
strained the Siberian railroad to its
utmost capacity The army organ
admits that the Russian troops in the
far east at the beginning of the war
did not exceed $4,000. 1t denies that
Russian officials failed properly to es-
innate the strength of Japanese mill
tary resources, but frankly admits that
the talents of the Japanese officers and
the wonderful spirits of the Japanese
soldiers were miscalculated. Based on
these figures it is estimated that the
Russian losses in killed, wounded, pris-
oners and sick will reach half a mill
lion, leaving the Russian effective
strength now at 100000 men.

at Seattle.

SEAT1AE, March 25.-George H.
Stevenson and State Senator G. F.
Clapp have purchased from State Sen
ator w. G. Potts the Diller Hotel in
Seattle. 1t is believed here that Stew
enson has decided not to accept the
cIerkship of the new federal district in
Washington.
Reports of the size of the fees at one
time impelled Mr.. Stevenson to look
with favor upon the position, but when
he learned the circuit and district
clerkships would be divided and the
fees were not very large, he lost inter-
est in the place. A week ago at con-
ference between Judge Edward Whit
son and Mr.. Stevenson the former
promised the appointment, but Mr..
Stevenson intimated he would prob
ably have to decline. Now that the
hotel deal, pending at the time OF the
conference, is practically completed
Mr.. Stevenson will turn down the
cIerkShip.
