rHs rARrnoUAKe IN INDIA.

The details of the Indian earthquake indicate that the disturbance was one of the seyerest On record. The region within which serious damage to build ings occurred is about 520 miles in length; and if, as seems probable, Dharmsala was nearly the centre, it's width cannot be less than 36O miles, so that the total area of destruction was. about i50i000 square emiles-considera5ly more than the area of the British Kingdom. The boundary of the region, in question is roughly oval and elongat- ed in the direction of the Himalayan axes, and the origin of the earthquake is ascribed to one of the great move-' ments to which the formation of these still growing mountains is due. If the strength of an earthquake is indicated by the extent of the area disturbed by it, this one has rarely been exeelled.' The great Indian earthquake of 1897, it, is estimated, was felt over an area of one and thrse-quarter millions of square miles; but. if it be true, as re-. ported, that the shock of April was felt at Bombay and Calcutta, which are about sSo and 1,O2O miles from Dharm- sala, then the area oyer wihich it was psrceptible would be about twice as large, and not much less than the area of all Europe. There were few parts of the earth's surface at which the earth-wapss were imsensible to seismo- graphs. An exceedingly detailed record of the disturbance was given by hor izontal pendulum ct Birmingham, Eng land.

MUcH mOxAI, BEsr GOODS.

There are other taings than leather nowadays, brt the United States con- tlnues to do a large business in leather goods. In 1894 the United States ship ped abroad 72S,517 pairs of boots and saoes, valued at SSsO,17s; in that year the sales of the United Kingdom abroad were S,O22,756 pairs, valued at S7'S54, 1901. Last year the salss of the United States abroad had increased to 4.S06,79 pairs, valued at s7,S19,775, while the British exports were S,1O7,s24 pairs, valued at s7.692,STS. In the value of the business doneitis an enormous lead that we have overcome in a very short time-against serious obstacles in the form of ex- pensive raw material and wholly by the superiority of our machinery and the grsater efficiency of our labor, high priced though it may seem. - @
 No other country compares with the work of th:se two in the making of leather footwear. The value of boots and shoes exported from Germany is but little over two million dollars per year, from France about three and a third millions and from Spain about three millions. Moreover, while the British sell thsir boots and shoes prin-

Africa and Asia. The American shoe goes freely into the British provinces and even to the United Kingdom itself, the quanti- ty sold in the last-named market last year having been more than eight hun- drsd thousand pairs.

 Of course the United States makes the best boots and shoes, and there are many who want the best.

THE CUSSkD COYOTE.

The President of the United States has been after coyotes, and he has got a few of them, but there are many more left, and the government of which the President is the head has come to the front with suggestions regarding the best means of getting rid of the pest. It is pointed out that none of the meth ods devised for killing off coyotes has proved entirely successful. All of them combined have resulted in partial check on the increase of the herds in most parts of the West. Poison has probably killed the greatest number of adult wolves, strychnine inserted into the carcasses of dead animals being the favorite method of poisoning. But the modern coyote is too shrewd to bite at this bait unless it is most carefully pre- pared. An Oklahoma farmer butchered some hogs a year or two ago and poi soned a hogskin and left it with other offal for 8 coyote that nightly prowled about his premises. In the morning everything but the poisoned skin had been cleared away. He left it two more nights, but it remained untouched. Thinking that the animal would not eat poisoned bait, the farmer buried it. ;,r1,f f1a tha skin and ate it, falling a victim to it's deadly contents. Since then the farmer has never failed to poison coyotes when he buries the bait.
 The government expert has come to the conclusion that the best means of guarding against depredations of coy otes is to build fences against them. This means of protection has been long in vogue in the Australian colonies and in South Africa. While the cost of fencing is high, the advantages from its use have been regarded as more than compensating for the outlay. Ex- periments have proved that prairie coy- otes will not willingly jump over a fence above thirty inches in height. They will readily climb over fences built of horizontal rails or crcssbars, especially in order to escape from cap- |tivity. Barbed wires do not deter them from crawling through a fence to es-

these doors. but he will not. He insists on throwing back these sliding doors himself twenty times day if neces- sary, and it is always with dash like one entering the arena of a boxing ring that he steps into the Cabinet Chamber. He comes through these doors with such suddenness that at times persons are almost taken off their feet.
 In ten CT fifteen minutes he clears the room, passing from visitor to wis., itor and never failing to exchange a few words with each.
 In the days of three years ago his voice would have filled the room, now It is so well mcdulated that only per sons addressed catch what he is say ing. Above all else he likes the chil- dren. One day this week when he learned that several fond mothers, babies in arms, were being kept wait ing in the public reception-room he di- rected that they be brought in at once. He did net kiss the babies. but he did a good job of praising their beauty.
 No matter hew great the stress of business the President will not forgo his afternoon outing, and he will find time to take his boxing lessons and engage ill few rounds at single stick. Under the instruction of Mike Donovan he has become so proficient as boxer that he finds it difficult to persuade his friends to stand up before him. He belives that ''all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" and he lives up to that doctrine every day in the year Washington Letter to In- aianapolis News.

THE RUM MI- RUSSIIS FIRRIORS.
 Rum doesn't seem to have helped the Russians much in their war. The de- tails of the Russian retreat from Muk- den toward Tai pass, as given by an eye witness, picture in the honlely but emphatic language or a trader, who had followed the Boer exodus from Pretoria under British pressure, the utter decentralization of Emperor Mich olas forces when the indomitable Jap anese concentrated their strength upon the ancient capital of Manchuria., Whether Kuropatkin abandoned the city too soon or not seems to figure less in the story of the retreat than the condition of his interiors, from high officers down to the plain soldier. This eyewitness states that many, of the commanders were maudlin and ire sponsible; that they seemed to care lit- tie about the fate of the issues for which they. were fighting, and that their men in the ranks, discouraged and disorganized perhaps by this condition of their superiors. threw away their equipment and bolted in disorder in al- most any direction that enabled them to escape what was to them then magni1ed yellow peril" This eye witness states that, surfeited by the liquor they had taken, officers and men alike threw champagne and brandy into the streets, and in their besotted con- dition attacked Chinamen, one of whom is described to have clung to cart wheel until his hands were severed with a sword. his body slashed and finally his head nearly taken off. He was an inoffensive Chinaman, but in their fev- cred brains the Russian pictured him a Japanese spy.
 There was talk of rum in connection with the famous Russian attack on the fishing fleet, and it has figured in other episodes. Evidently the Russian warriors drink too much.

THE ROOSEVELT OF 1905.
Minor Changes Noted by an observant
 Nawsna,,ar Man

l-hAliOI Nhdnses NoleQ Dy di ObSeffedlL Newspaper Man.
 It is worth while observing that Ithree years and six months in the White House has wrought a great change in the President. If it did not sound disrespectful it might be said
 that he has been ''tamed." The way he
 carried on' for the first year or two
 after he entered the Presidents chair
 was a distinct shock to some of the United States senators and other dig
 nified visitors. The particular thing they could not aecustom themselves to was his loud talking. the rapid-fire istyle in which he put out his observa- tions of men and measures without the least regard as to who. was within hearing. In those days the executive officers were still in the White House proper and it was not an uncommon
 thing for visitors waiting in the large reception room to hear the Presidents
 shrin voice through the closed doors that led to the private offices and the Cabinet room. - l,.
 AS time were on the President be- came more sedate. His friends from l the West who came for the inaugura- ltion ceremonies noted the change and
 commented on it. If he is not careful
 he will be very tranquil man by the,
 end of this ternl,' said one old, friend
 of the plains as he left the executive
 offices the ether morning. 5l G..s 1 There are still plenty Of dash in the movements of the chief executive as
 he goes about the routine work of his
 office, and as he meets the throngs of daily callers, but he moves with more
 neliteration than formerly character
 ized him, and he has brought his voice
 down until it no longer invites com
 ment. Many of the characteristics that
 made him ''so different from other
 Presidents" three and a half years ago
 he still retains. He reserves the right
 for instance, to say:g"I am delighted" although he does not make use. Of it l once where he used it twenty times when he first entered the White House.
 By love, I'm glad to see you" Is an , expression that he still makes use of many times 3 day when friends of for
 n1er days are dropping in on him, and
 he still insists on referring to his spec
 ial favorites as "crackerjacks." It is lrelated that last Tuesday morning,
 when the new cabinet assembled, with
 George B. corteiyou back in a. seat at the big table, he looked at him with q
 pleased expression and turning to Se- cretary Hay, blurted out: Now there is Courtelyou Che always puts the ac-
 cent on the ''tel'); isn't he a craker-
 jack?"
 | By far the most picturesque thing labout the daily receptions at the exec

 clearing this room many times daily this week he was at his best as a
 mixer among men, women and children.

Directors of Greene Con.

At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company in New York City, on last Wednesday, several changes were announced, the following retire from the directorate: H. E. HuDtin- ton, w. T. Van Brunt, L. O. Weir, G. B. Perkins and A. Eiiers. These were succeeded by Chas- Adsit. J. B. Showalter, Geo. $. Robinson, General Thos. H. Anderson and R. w. Pills bury.
 The changes are undoubtedly the result of the recent furry in Greene stock when several large interests dis posed of their holdings, which were widely distributed among comparative ly small purchasers. Four of the new members were on the Board of Direct ors before and their accession at this time can only be regarded as very favorable to Col. Greene, the president, dispelling the rumors current several weeks ago that the interests lac re- presents had lost control of the great Cananea property.-Cananea Herald.

Righteous Indignation.

The removal of Secretary Harrison of the live stock board after his strong endorsement ty the sanitary commis- sion and the Territorial Live Stock as sociation is somewhat unusual, and it is said has caused no little feeling among the stockmen of the territory. Secretary Harrison was very popular
 with all the stock men. This on ac- count of his superior fitness for the office, his promptness in the discharge of the duties thereof and his strict in tegrity of character, especially in tegrity. The members of the sanitary board showed their honest indignation in promptly sending in their resig- nations. Chairman w. $. Sturges Of the Live Stock Sanitary board shows his American blood, his independence of character and the spirit which should actuate every honest official,
 when he rendered hls resignation as a member of the board of which he has made such an efficient president and member. Mir. Sturges knows and ap- preciates the rights and duties of an official and does not hesitate to main tain the same. This is what makes a safe, independent and honest admis- tration of public affairs.-Tucson Star.
