plaint II Is a stale medley OF all the old ex-
ploded lies even down TO the silly hctlon of the
fancy dress ball all of which have been dis
proved again and again. Its origin is obvious.
Mr.. Alexander's friends should be more dis
Greet. That sort OF thing always reacts. l think
this particular suit, If ever brought to trial,
which I doubt, will prove boomerang. Where
did the plaintiff get the one share of stock
which is the basis of the suit ana which was
bought after the Equitable troubles became
public property and who paid for II ana why?
AS to the report that Senator Page had been
selected as the man to urge on Governor Hig-
gins the necessity of distributing the Equita-
BILE surplus, Senator Page told the reporter last
night that he had merely offered to a fellow
diner his individual opinion that "it would he
a good thing if Governor Higgins could be per-
suaded 10 take up the Equitable affair."
That was all, he said. Regarding the state
ment that the Governor is to be asked to OBJ
tain the distribution of S7000000O Of the sur
plus, supporter of Mr. Hyde said last night:
The idea is ridiculous The surplus is made
up partly Of policies long since lapsed and of
profits in investments in the last thirty years.
suppose there came a panic in the market and
Equitable dropped say, 10 per cent, where
would the surplus be then?
Counsel for the Equitable obtained an order
from Justice P. H. Dugro, of the Supreme Court,
yesterday. giving them eighteen days extension
Of time in which to answer the complaint in the
case of Rowland D. Buford and also requiring
Buford, as nonresident, to advance $3.50 to
cover the costs of trial.

Chinese Swine.

The American swine of today are
very different from their English an
cestOIs. which n few centuries ago con-
stituted one OF the chief sources of
British wealth. The Improvement in
the race is largely due to the introduc
lion of the Chinese and Neapolitan
breeds. The crossing of the former up
ON the English hog has resulted in the
production of the Berkshire, Essex, PO-
land-China, Small Yorkshire and Suf
folk breeds. The Chinese hog is re-
markably prepotent, as is shown by the
tendency of the modern breeds to re-
vert to the original type. This is doubt
less owing 10 the many centuries of in
breeding which have so firmly fixed it's
characteristics. One of the most i'm
portant of these is it's propensity to
fatten under the most adverse circum-
stances. This superabundance of fat
prevents the flesh OF this breed being
highly esteemed in this country, but it

Tbc Nortbw est Passage.

The dream of daring usvlgators for
more than three centuries has been
realized in the actual traversing at last
of the northwest passage.
Capt. Roland Amundsen has achieved
the distinction of being the first man
in the history of the world to navigate
the arctic region from Davis strait Ia
BeriRg strait ana thus To assert the
mastery of man over long defiant ma
iUTt.
II has all along been contended by
many thar a northwest passage would
be useless for commercial purposes be
cause II would be practically unnaviga-
b!e. B,yt operations have continued
for reasons oil sentiment and science.

has positively located the magnetic
pole on King William island. and his
observations may enable scientific rlen

magnetic phenomena which long have
puzzled them.
These gains fail very short of what
was once expected of the northwest
passage.
Many generations looked upon it as
the pathway to gold, and uncounied
human skeletons are only monuments
TO the daring men who sought it.
The American continent, for the first
centuries after its discovery. was re-
gardeG by Europeans as q huge Obsta-
Gle in nearer way 10 the East Indies.
But time has proved that America is
richer than all the Indies, and world
commerce no longer seeks way
around the continent but 10 L.
The first great advance in the eXplo-
ration of the northwest passage was
made by John Davis. who discovered
the strait named after him in 1885.
Adolf Erik Nordenskojld went clea,
through in 1879. but not with his ship.
Now that Capt. Amundsen has a.
last realized the dream of centuries,
il may after all be found that this. like
other dreams. is brighter in the dream
ing than in the realization

they put their heads together as though
