WORLDS GREATEST PORT.
Antwerp May Become Leading City

Should Antwerp become the
greatest port in the world, il will

the st. James Gazette. The silt

it the trade of Bruges, and the dis.
cOvery of the new sea route gave
Antwerp an Incompatible posi-
tion. At the height of her pros.
perity, towards the close of the
sixteenth century, her imports
amounted to f10, $50 ,000-an enor-
nous sum in our money of today.
Her population was then 125.W0,
a third of the present number.
More than thousand firms were
established there, and men count.
ed their money in millions. Her
exports went To every known land.
Then came an awful decline. The
terrors of the inquisition seat
tered her population far and wide ;
IN "A single onslaught by Spanish
soldiers 5000 peaceful citizens
died. Antwerp's loss was our
gain. They fled to our shores and
established industries in which
we have ever since held leading
place. Many vicissitudes fol.
lowed; trade went. and the popula.
ton dropped TO 10000. Napoleon

How to Detect Arsenic

a chemist recognizes the presence of
arsenic is the odor of garlic given
off when one of its compounds is

when certain fungi grow or SUBJ

it is interesting to note that one

TRUCK cOMPANY'S JONAH.
Every Time the Tailor Entered En-
CINE House Fire Alarm Sounded
Now He Stays Away.

If there is one class of public
servant more superstitious than
another il is the firemen. Once 4
bluecOat has made up his mind
that he is followed by a jonah
there is nothing that will convince
him that he is wrong. says the Chi
cago Record Herald.
The captain of a West side
truck company is no exception to
the rule, and as a result, lies, the
tailor, is exiled from the com
pany's quarters. Hes is one who
likes to spend his idle time around
an engine house. When he first
opened his little tailor shop near
the truck house he dropped in to
look over the quarters of the fire
men. He volunteered TO mend any
clothing the men tore while at
work on fires. and they accepted.
One night fireman ripped the
sleeve of his coat. The next morn.
ing the tailor came in and took the
coat TO repair. As he went out an
alarm of fire came in. The firemen
worked for five hours. Late in the
afternoon the tailor returned with
the repaired coat. While he was
telling the firemen how he had
fixed ii, another alarm of fire
struck in.
Every time the tailor came the
gong sounded. One afternoon the
captain heard one of the men
grumbling.
"What is the matter, Mike?" he
asked.
"Well, skipper, may be wrong;
but l think that tailor is a hoo
doc"
The captain reflected. He be
gan TO believe Mike was right.
Still he did not like to say any
thing to the tailor. He was
willing worker in the cause of the
firemen. Yet the captain could
not get the "hoOdoO" idea out of
his head. He decided to try il out.
The next four times the tailor
came in the door the company was
called out. Then the captain de-
cided to act. He called the com
pany together. They agreed with
him. The tailor was a hOodoo.
The next time he came the cap.
tain started TO tell him so. Before
he had said ten words the company
was called out again. When il got
back the tailor was waiting in the
door. One of the firemen caught
him and pushed him outside.
you are prince of fellow,
all right enough; but you are a
Jonah. The next time you want
anything here tell us about il over
the telephone. Every time YOU
stick your nose in that door il
means a fire alarm"
Hes concluded that he was
Jonah. He still continues to re-
pair the firemen's clothes. but he
never comes in the house when hr
delivers them.

LANDLORD MUST CONSENT.
Farmer Tenants in Germany Cannot
Marry Except with Freewin
of Farm Owner.

In Germany farmer cannot
marry without the consent of his
landlord, and this consent is not
always easy to obtain. Very
often a farmer has TO purchase
his landlords consent to his mar
riage, and many of the poorer
land owners add a good deal to
their incomes in this manner.
Numbers of the large German
territorial magnates can compel
their tenants TO work for them in
a number of different ways. On
several estates in Germany the
tenats who are tradespeople have
TO give their services to the land
lord for nothing whenever he may
require them to do so.
In Spain these peculiar privi-
leges of the landed classes are
confined altogether to the nObil-
ity. a man without a title in
Spain, should he be in the position
of Il landlord, which is very rarely
the case, has practically no control
over his tenants, and very often
finds it hard even to recover his
rent.
But the Spanish mobiles are en-
dowed with immense territorial
powers.
Among the peculiar privileges
possessed by the Spanish nobility
is that of being empowered TO try
tenants for any criminal otfensr
which they may commit, with the
exception of murder. \ Spanish
nobleman, however, cannot infiict
a longer term of Imprisonment on
any of his tenants than two years
without having the sentence con.
firmed by the Spanish govern
ment, before whom must be laid
all the particulars of the case and
the nature of the evidence against
the prisoner. If the sentence APP
pears to be unjust or unduly Sc
we're, the government can order
the prisoner 10 be tried in the or
binary manner before judge and
Jury.
In France there are very few
territorial prOprietors, most OF
the peasants being owners of their
farms; such landlords, however
as do exist have very little control
over their tenants beyond receiv-
ing their rent, which must not ex-

the state.
There are no tenantry in the
world so completely in the power

There is working in the University

who, If lie is almost ignored outside

secret Of it's composition Is rigidly
guarded. Though there is no secret as
to its terrific power, no foreigner knew
anything about it before the present
