A Colossal Statue Of Christ Made
From Melted Cannon.

In 1900, Argentina and Chile.
sister republics, were on the
brink Of war. Il was the revival Z
Of an old dispute about bounda-
ry lines. On Easter Sunday
Bishop Benavente, of Argentina,
made a thrilling appeal for a
statue of Christ to guard the
frontier, where it could be seen
by all travellers between the two
countries. The two angry ma
tions calmed themselves; King
Edward Of England was asked to
be arbitrator; and both countries
quietly acquiesced in his decis-
ion.
Then both began TO disarm.
Chile has turned an arsenal into
f, a school Of trades. BY reducing
her army and navy expenses she
is saving millions of dollars, and
is spending them in making good
roads through the land, and in
building a much needed break
water in the harbor Of Valparai-
so.
To signalize and perpetuate
this victory OF peace, and the
good bishops suggestion, second
ed now by the mothers of Argen-
tina, was followed. A colossal
statue Of Christ, made of bronze
from melted cannon, was dedica-
/ ted March Is. 1904, on the bound
airy line, fourteen thousand feet
labove the sea. One hand holding
his cross of sacrifice, the other
uplifted TO heaven, the Christ of
Andes stands on the heights be-
tween the two countries, bless
ing them both as they rest below
him in peace. The inscription
reads: Sooner shall these noun
tains crumble TO dust than Arg
ientines and Chilesns break the
| peace which, at the feet of Christ
the Redeemer. they have sworn
to maintain,
The statue has been standing
there something over a year.
Within that year Brazil and Bo-
livia have settled an old dispute,
the former paying the latter an
indemnity of ten millions Of dol
lars; while Chile and Bolivia have
made a treaty of peace and friend.

Thayer sprayed the fluid in the hus- bands face, disfiguring him for life. For tunately Corcoran closed his eyes when the acid was thrown and his eyesight is uninjured.
 The case was reported to the police of the East Chicago avenue station and Capt. Rehm detailed four officers, whu searched the north side, but to no avail
 Corcoran, with his wife Lillian, 22 years old and pretty, went to the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. D. Parker, 2Oa Clark street, for dinner. Thayer, who works in bakery shop across the street saw and followed them.
 He knocked at the door of the Parke: flat and was admitted by Corcoran. Cor coran knew that his wife had been the sweetheart of Thayer and knew that he still was trying to force his attentions on her. but he greeted him cordially.
 Thayer also tried to appear friendly with Corcoran and offered him cigar While Corcoran was lighting the cigar Thayer sprayed the contents of the atomizer in the young husbands face In terrible agony, Corcoran shut his eyes and fought his assailant. They rolled

ENGLISH CLING TO LUGGAGE
sritishers Show Antipathy to Being Separated from Baggage
 While on a Tour.

Perhaps the strangest fact about the English on their travels is their antip- athy to being separated from their lug gage. The system of registration of the continent and the checks of the United States are known to them, but pater- familias believes in seeing for himself that the various items are labeled and put into the van, and if a change of trains is involved, his anxiety. in spite of all assurances. knows no bounds. Nor have the railway companies enjoyed much support in their efforts to intro- duce systems of collecting and delivering baggage. Possibly the motor car may do something to break down this preju- dice, and people will learn that their treasured personal belongings can be sent from place to place without their own supervision. and then less cum brous and antiquated methods of dealing with them will be adopted. For it can hardly be claimed that the four-wheel- CT or railway omnibus to the London terminus, the handporterage, the la beling and all their attendant worries are in keeping with the facilities enjoyed by travellers in other matters.

RUSSIAN CAVALRY BARRACKS
The Soldiers Quarters Are Plainly Furnished and Kept Scrupu-
 lously Clean. 1s

Near the woods, across the plains, were number of low wooden buildings that looked like sheds and which were so inconspicuous that they would have been unseen had not the music of the bugle attracted the passer-by, says the Newark News. The officers quarters were in front. quite apart from the men $ barracks, which were ranged in a straight row with the stables behind The rooms were filled with hundreds of little beds, each bed having hard mat tress, one pillow and a coarse woolen blanket for covering. Underneath the bed-the springs do not give-was the soldiers box containing his kit. All through the room at regular intervals there hung the picture of the czar, with colored chromos of the heroes and saints in picturesque attire
 The ceilings were very low and the windows few and far between but every thing is kept scrupulously clean. The kitchens in back have large brick ovens, where the black bread is baked and the huge pieces of meat are cooked. Large copper caldrons, shining like suns, are always on the stove making soup. for the Russian army observes two fast days every week. Wednesday and Saturday. when lentil soup and black bread com prises the dinner. The favorlte drink of the soldiers is water with rye bread soaked in it. which gives it delicate flavor and quenches thirst. Their day is filled with drills and work, when they are taught to ride their horses and fight with or without them. At night the regiment takes walk before turning in, and as they walk the soldiers always sing the sad, melodicus songs of the fatherland.

Ban on Number Thirteen.

Portland, Ore.-Because of the num- ber of fatal accidents to trains bearing the unlucky number 13. orders have been issued on the Mountain division of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company which strikes that number from the train sheet The tragic death of Conductor Charles F. Brown at Kamela in November was the climax. The last train order signed by Con- ductor Brown on that fatal trip was order No. 13 which he received at Bingham Springs. and which. in the usual jovial manner. he at first refused 10 sign for, telling the dispatcher to change the number. After a few jok- ing words over the wires with the dis patcher, Conductor Brown took the or der, and, in delivering a copy of it to Engineer Peter Theisen, said in fun: That's bad one, Pete. Look at the number and then look out" It was the last order Brown received. it be- ing meet order" on train No. 1 at Meacham.

 "I went back to the drug store to get fixed up and the measly, freckled- nosed yap there charged me 60 cents for the five cents worth of lotion, ab- sorbent cotton and bandage that needed.
