THE LADIES ALL BOWED.
A Social Custom Of Uruguay That
Led to an Amusing I'M
position.

How different the social customs OF
Uruguay are from those of Great Britain
was we'll illustrated by story related
by South American visitor, says as
sells.
He told how young Canadian went
to Uruguay to join friend from the
United States, who had spent scme
years in Montevideo, the capital.
The Canadian was much struck by the
friendly terms which his friend seemed
to have established with the fair ones
of the place, and rallied him upon the
fact. The American calmly replied that
he knew every lady in the city!
This struck the Canadian as decid-
edly tall" statement, and, his friend
volunteering to convince him on the
point, the two set off for jaunt through
the capital
In the course Of the walk the pair met
several hundred ladies' all of whom ac-
knowledged the Americans salute with
a bow and q smile, and the Canadian ad-
mitted himself convinced.
And his wonder was intense until he
learned that he had been victim of a
Uruguayan custom under which any
gentleman who bows to a lady in the
street receives an answering bow of
recognition whether she knows him or
not.

AUSTRIAN SPECTATORS.
Investors Desire Something More En-
ivening Than the Purchase
Of Bonds.

The Vienna correspondent of the
London Economist sends the following
interesting description of how Aus
trian investors desire spice Of specu-
lation combined with their investment
in government bonds:
1T is q characteristic feature of the
Austrian investor that he is exceeding
ly partial to lottery bonds, and year
after year hopes for the prize that
never comes. Ten lottery loans have
been redeemed during the last Is years,
and there are only nine more, which
will be amortised within the next
nine years. They are quoted at high
prices, because the public imagines
that the chances of winning the chief
prize, or, at least, one of the lesser
prizes, must be very great by this
time. But one of the directors of the
Anglo bank has just published a paper
to show how slight are the chances
Of winning anything, and how prob
able it is that investors will incur
losses. The greater the principal
prizes are, the smaller must be the
sum which is paid when the other
numbers are called. But the demand
for lottery bonds makes the price of
them rise out of all proportion to the
figure at which they were emitted"

The JAPANESE KITCHENER.
K3dama, Who Laid Out the Reduc~
ton Of Port Arthur with
5'EE Master Mind.

Tiny in physique, Kodama is thu
brains of new Japan, mobllizer of the
mkado's armies, directing the des-
THY of his people militantly, writes
Richard Barry, in Everybody's Maga-
ziue. For ten years military gov
eraor of Formosa, for two years chle1
of the war Office, it was he who had
perfected the transport service and
tied the ends of the army together
so we'll that the phenomenal six
months dash of the troops through
Kurea and beyond the Yalu startled
the world as it was not startled since
Kitchener set out for Khartoum.
Kodama is the Japanese Kitchener,
and he laid out the reduction of Port
Arthur with the grand strategy of a
master mind. His first plan failed, be-
cause Kodama underestimated the foe
he had to face-a foe great in soldierly
endurance, and in this instance allied
with nature. Then Kodama came
down from the north one morning,
spent two days in looking over the
ground, and settled back in the great
house of the Russian mayor at Dalny,
leaned his elbows on the table, reached
forth his clenched fist, and, looking
into it, said, with his lips parted over
set teeth: Il hold Port Arthur there"
He did hold Port Arthur there, and it
could escape no more than he could.
He saw that, mathematically, the prob
lem was one for time and tactics to
solve, but though the master directing
the use of both he could hasten
neither,

Vanished Saharan River.

August Chevalier, French explorer
and geographer, believes that Lake
Tchad represents what was formerly
the backwater Of great river which
flowed northward across the Sahara
and emptied into the Mediterranean
sea. Neolithic relics indicate, he says,
the former existence of prosperous
communities where desert conditions
now prevail. At the present time Lake
Tchad shows occasional changes of
level. Since 1897 it's waters have con-
tinued to fall, but sometimes, alter
several years of unusual rainfall, it
spreads beyond it's ordinary bed. In
1903 Lake Fittri dried up, and the hip
popotami which had inhabited it were
compelled to go observation-disclosures

Weight of Ha is.

What do you suppose this hat
weighs?" said the halter, taking up
fine eight-dollar top hat of silk.
About a pound" the patron haz-
arded.
"Only a little over a quarter of
pound. Five ounces, to be precise. No
good hat" said the halter, runs over
four or five ounces nowadays.
"This white felt haiti is worth SIS
weighs less than an ounce. This new
fve-dollar derby hat weighs four
ounces. Straw hats run from two to
four ounces in weight.
1T pays a man to make the weight
an important consideration in the
choosing of a hat, for a light hat is
a prevention of headache, and its in
furious effect on the hair is reduced to
a minimum" m."-Philadelph Bulletin.

International Pharmacopeis

International Pharmacopeia.
The new United States Pharmacopeia
has adopted the results of the Brussels
conference on the unification of the
formulas Of heroic medicines. The
state of AFFAIRS to ameliorate which the
conference was called, is illustrated by
the following statements made by DR..
H. c. Wood, president of the United
States Pharmacopeial conventions: "A
prescription written in New York for
a much-used poisonous remedy would
be put up three times the desired
strength in Montreal, where the Brit
ish pharmacopeia is in vogue. Arsen-
ical preparations having the same
name vary in strength from one to
10000 to two in 100, according to the
national standard by which they are
made. Under the new system it is
hoped that all nations will adopt a
single standard.-Youth's Companion.

WIND PRESSURE OF BRIDGE
Surface Resistance an Important Fac
tor in the Safety Of Con-
struction.

Referring to our recent discussion
of the question of the proper amount
Of wind pressure to provide for in
bridges, a correspondent. draws our
attention to the fact that no mention
was made of the extra surface which
is presented to the wind when a train
moves onto bridge. He asks, says
the Scientific American, whether this
surface should not always be taken
for in calculating the wind stresses on
any given span. Our correspondent
is entirely right in supposing that al
lowance should be made for train sur
face, and indeed this is always done.
1t was not our intention, in the article
referred to, to cover the whole question
Of wind pressure, but merely to draw
attention to the fact that the unit pres
sure adopted has been unnecessarily
large, and to give the process of rea-
eoning by which our engineers have ar
rived at the lower figure which is now
likely to be generally adopted. 1t is
probable that in the early days Of bridge
designing no account was taken Of the
great increase in the area of bridge
which takes place when a train, or
even a large number of horse-drawn
vehicles, is crossing bridge. The pro-
portion of the train surface to the bridge
surface, and consequently of the strains
due to each. will of course be very much
larger in the shorter spans. In the
longer bridges the proportion will rap
idly decrease; but it can never reach a
point, even in structure of the length
of the Brooklyn or the Forth bridge at
which it becomes negligible quantity.
There can be little doubt that it was the
increase of surface due to the entrance
of the passenger train upon the big spans
of the Tay bridge that was the immedi-
ate cause of their being blown bodily
sidewise into the river.

POTTER INSANE

George D. Potter was adjudged in
sane this morning and was committed
by Judge KEENAN, to Medical Lake
asylum.
Potter has lately been a member
of the Pentecostal Mission band, and
the experts who testified before
Judge KEENAN, gave 1t as their opin-
ion that the insane man had carried
his religious zeal to excess.
Potter was shown to be a man of
homocidal disposition. He has
threatened to kill his wife, who was
greatly in fear of him.
The evidence showed that Potter
was in the habit of praying loudly
in the street and scattering his
money on the pavement.
He told the doctors that he had
killed horse in fit of passion, had
broken up furniture and committed
other wrongful acts, but claimed to
have been a good man since he be-
came converted. 1t was shown to
the court that Potters sisters and
uncles have been insane.
The unfortunate man was taken to
the asylum today.

Teton county, Montana. Prominent
experts have declared that the strata
formation is the same in Teton coun-
ty as in Alberta
The development of the districts
can not fail to benefit Spokane. Our
citizens are largely interested and a
large percentage of the business done
