MT. Sargent, after making personal Investigations and talking with the heads of the municipal charities in New York, Boston and other principal ports of entry, holds that such colonies are open to objection not merely on political grounds, but in far greater degree for social and sanitary reasons.
 The tremendous expenditures in our large cities for the support of indigent foreigners; the records of the lesser criminal and police courts; the roster of the public hospitals, jails, asylums and reformatory institutions; the gorged habitations of aliens in the cities, have impressed deeply on all who have studied the problem the i'm perative necessity of diffusing through many outlets the ever infowing tide
 The theory has been that if a num- Der of families coming from the same neighborhood abroad could be induced to leave the beaten path and settle in a section of country where there were no other aliens, later arrivals would follow the new trail. The problem Is one for the large seaboard cities to eolvp

SHARK HUNTING COMPANY.
Hawaiiens to Get Oil md Fertilizer
 by Plundering tIre Sen.

Hawaiiens to Get Oil md Fertilizer by Plundering tho Sea.
 A company has been formed at Hon. olulu to hunt sharks on an extensive scale and as commercial enterprise. Several schooners have been purchased and fitted out with the necessary par aphernalia and appliances for captur- ing these monsters of the deep. says a special dispatch from Honolulu to the New York Tribune.
 The purpose of shark hunting is two fold. One object is to obtain oil from them, the remainder of the shark to be used in the manufacture of fertil- izer for the sugar plantations of the Hawaiian Islands. Shiploads of fish offal from the Alaskan salmon can neres are brought to Honolulu every year to be made into fertilizer. and 1t is believed that the bodies of sharks l will supply the same material and at less cost.
 | The oil is to be sent to China, where !. there is a great market for it. Some kutTh bttu stit tV Nbihh ii'i' Honolulu for many years. but the ! greatest drawback to the trade was ] that until now there was no method whereby the strong odor of the shark could be eliminated from the oil. A successful process has at last been dis covered by the treatment of the oil with live steam. and demand has been created for this product which is greater than can at present be sup piled.
 | Tn the fertilizer works it is estimated that thirty tons of shark day can he utilized and that this will employ the services of at least three schooners and their crews. The waters of the Hawaiian Islands teem with sharks. and shark hunting is a pastime that appeals to many.

INQUIRIES
ANSWERS
AN D:

trespasser who refuses to halt when requested to do so. Am I right?
 A. Yes. The act authorizes the own- CT or agent of property to arrest tres passers and fixes fine of not more than fifty dollars and thirty days in jail for such offense. but it does not authorize the owner or agent to shoot. Probably that would be in order in case the trespasser resisted and the owner or agent had to use more force than he bargained for, but in any case the act says nothing whatever about it.
 NJ. F.-Pease print the poem by Mrs Phoebe Brown beginning ''I love to steal while away" @ How is the age of date tree told? (3) have been told that German children do not study spelling after their second year in school. Are they good spellerss (4) If childless widow dies in Ten nessee who inherits her property-her parents or her sisters and brothers?
 A. You can find the verses in col lections of sacred songs. @ I know of no rule to tell the age of tree while standing. After being cut down the rings may be counted, and each of these represent a year. t3) 1 am not familiar with German school matters, but there is no reason to suppose that the study of spelling is neglected. (4 Real estate is inherited by brothers and sisters.
 Friendship-Please give a sketch of the life of Voltaire? @ Where can I get a copy of sermon preached by Rev Dr Talmadge, Jan 6. 1902? (3) Who was king of parliament?
 A. Voltaire was the assumed name of Francois Marie Arouet, who was born at Paris in 1894, and died there in IT'S. He was famous as writer, and the freedom of his urterances soon led him into trouble. Twice he was exiled from Paris and twice was a prisoner in the Bastille. Much of his fame is due to the drama Oedipe. and fam ous epic poem on Henry The Fourth. His later life was given largely to his torcal and philosophic works. (2 pr Talmadge's sermons were very gener- ally printed in the newspapers and may be found by consulting files of that date Any bookseller can tell you whether they have been printed in book form. (3) do not know what is meant by king of parliament" Nor can I tell you anything about Francis Newport.

Life Insurance Agents Do Not Now Favor Tain or Fat individuals.

Life Insurance Agents Do Not Now
 Favor Thin or Fat Individuals.
 Fat and lean men are now defied by the heavy. muscular man. Ten of the leading insurance companies of Chi cago taking life risks have been revis- ing their mortality tables in favor of the heavy. active man. aud against the fat and spare man, says a Chicago dispatch.
 This change in premium rates and risks is not confined to Chicago-it is national movement inspired by the medical examiners of the life insur- ance companies. As one of the medi- cal examiners said recently:
 Tn the early days of figuring nor tality averages there is no doubt that the man who was lean had an advan- taee. The thin man was a preferred risk with many companies-in fact. with the majority.
 Two decades of collecting statistics on the general average of life have brought the life insurance companies to some new conclusions. based wholly on the actual physical condition of the applicant for insurance. These con clusions favor the heavy. active man. discredit the ordinarily fat man and leave the lean man in a state of doubt The lstter is no longer the favorite-

MINISTER AS ENGINE WIPER
Why California Pastor Began socio logical Study In Hallway Yards.

lORICnI hNuway
 That he may familiarize himself with the trials. tribulations and temptations of the army of railroad men in Oak land, Cal. Rev. Dwight E.. Potter. pas tor of the Union Street Presbyterian church, has begun as an ordinary en- zine wiper in the West Oakland rail road yards, says A special dispatch from San Francisco to the Chicago alls and with a bunch of waste in his hands, Mir. Potter crawled under hot. dirty locomotive and began his task.
 The pastors church is not far from the yards of the Southern Pacific com pany and many large manufacturing establishments. His sympathies al ways have been with the men who work and his ambition has been to benefit them in any way in his power. He wants to work and live with the railroad men. whom he wishes to reach in a spiritual way and to come into intimate contact with them In pursuit of his sociological studies.
 It is Mir. Pottpr's desire to work in every department for a time. and he chose the lowly position of engine wiper to begin with. He asked tha: he he given exactly the treatment that would be accorded the newest and greenest hand on the road. He was given what be askel for.
 Mir. Potter did not return to his own home after the first days work He had hired a small room in a West Oak land lodging house that is the home of many of the laboring men in the West Oakland yards. He desires that his experience shall be thorough.
