than those handled in treasury report

states that the hens Of the United States
lay 1,666, 000, 900 dozens Of eggs a year, a
total of about 10000, 100000 eggs, or
enough in one month to pay the interest

corn crop which ranks first, aud would
pay on the national debt and the inter
est thereon for year.

Causes Of Japanese and Russian
War.

The differences between Russia
and Japan leading up TO the war
have probably been more or less
forgotten in the horrors of war and
are recalled in the following out
line.
First-After the Boxer disturb
ances the powers agreed to main
tain the territorial integrity of
China. Russia reserved the right
to occupy Manchuria, agreeing to
eyscuate when peace was restored.
April, 1908, was the date fixed for
this evacuation. This was after
ward extended to October g.. Rus
STA, despite the objections of Japan,
still continued in its occupancy of
Manchuria.
Second-Fear on the part of the
Japanese that should Russia absorb
Manchuria it would inevitably fol-
low that Russia would absorb Ko-
rea
Third-Russian occupancy OF
Korea would be a vital restriction
of the commerce and peaceful ac-
tivities of Japan in the most prom
Using field for japanese develop
ment in Asia.
Fourth-The action Of Russian
agents in pursuing course indi-
eating design to control import
ant strategic points.
Fifth-The warlike preparations
of Russia in Manchuria, and Japan
throughout its territories, during
the time when both countries were
mutually engaged in diplomatic
negotiations.

odd sources Of Asthma.

London.-Some astonishing details
as to the cause Of asthma are given
by British medical men. In one case
asthma was brought on by continuity
to cut flowers; In another by the smell
Of cheap scents, and in third by that
OF sulphur matches. In another case
a medical man always found himself
attacked by asthma when he visited
a house where there was a cat, and did
not finally recover until the cat died.
other instances are given in which
pigeons, canaries and thrushes caused
asthma to their owners, and one In
which the malady always was brought
on by the smell of horses.

ENGINEER NC CANN SAYS
We HAVE THE BEST
BRIDGE FOR THE MONEY


Mr.. Mccain said he never knew
Sanford s. Harris had sub-contracted
the draw to Wynkoop & Braley until
he heard Mr.. Sandford testify so.
They had their men at work On the
draw but it was all under the direction
of Sanford e. Harris. He was not
there much to look after the draw,
but told Sandford & Harris he pro-
posed putting an Inspector on the
work when it was done and if there
was anything wrong in it he would
have to take the chances.
Lawyer Alan Fl. Strong, for the
freeholders, then examined the wit
ness further as to the building of a
better and different bridge there.
"Could you suggest a better bridge
for $3.50, OO0,' the engineer was asked
'No. 1t would have to be a wooden
~trestle bridge with steel draw. You
couldn't get any more for the money.
/ was in hopes some bidder might fine
his way clear to give an extra steel
span along side the draw, but nobody
did,"
LAWYER Strong asked him what
caused the delay and the engineer said
the bridge would have been completed
within the three hundred days but the
public would not have been able to
use it because of the approach not be-
ing done. The war department had
also interferred and objected to the
work when the bents we're damaged
by the ice in 1904. Later they told the
board to go ahead, but now they had
ordered three steel spans.
Mr.. Bloomfield interrupted and
said the war department had not
ordered, but given their permission
for the steel spans. MI. McCann said
the department at one time had sane
toned the present bridge and now
they required steel spans, three on
one side and one on the Perth Amboy
side.
