who was so deeply interested in the re-
election OF Mayor Lindstrom? glance

Lndstrom's candidacy at the caucus will

Performance-In the conduct of his
business, Mr.. LlnGstrom is noted as an
excellent manager, and his business sue
cess is proof of his capacity along that
line. Yet, in city affairs the most op-
timistic admirer OF the present adminis-
tration will be slow to claim business
acumen in the direction of the affairs of
the city in the past year. 1t may be
said, the mayor is not the whole push !;

The Mission Of the cossack.

It is worthy of notice that the czar
Of Russia depends for his safety al
most wholly upon his regiments of
CossaclSs. These mounted soldiers
have proved themselves to be desplc-
able warriors in the far east. AS a
factor in the war the Cossack has
tumbled from the high position he
once held to an exceedingly low level.
On tho other hand, as the arm, prop
and buttress of despotism, the Cos
sack has proved himself to be an un-
qualified success. His function, the one
in which he oxcels, is to charge with
sword or loaded whip upon crowds Of
unarmed men. women and children
where the probabilities of effective
retaliation are exceedingly slight

Stately Ruins in Rhodesia

Richard N. Hall. who has given
eight years to the study of ancient
monuments in southern Rhodesia, says
that none of the hundreds of ruins has
been more than partially explored, ac-
cording to the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle. Many important ruins have been
seen only by casual travellers and the
work of unearthing only part of the
Great Zimbabwe area would be more
than the labor of lifetime. Still, re-
searches have made progress in the
last few years. There are in Rhodesia
no less than 300 distinct ruins and
groups of ruins. Only few scores of
these are entitled to rank as "an-
cient" The largest part of them prob
ably does not date back to the thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth CEN
turtles.
There is overwhelming evidence at
the Great Zimbabwe of ancient civili-
zation and arts possessed by the build
ers.of the earliest period. The Zimbab-
we temple is the finest and most intact
example of nature worshiping shrine
known 70 the world. Its construction

edge, which was common to the an
cient Semitic peoples, were imported
from the near east and did not origi-
nate in southeast Africa. The right
ascension of the sun, the heliacal ris
ing and the meridian passages of the
stars are believed to have been noted
at Zimbabwe. These ancient builders
were also past masters in the science
of military defense. the walls showing
that the builders were military strate-
gists of the highest order. Their gold
ornaments, finely designed and en-
graved, could not have been the work
of an uncivilized people, and the hun
dreds of ancient gold mines show that
they were skilled in metallurgy and
picked out rich shoots, patches and
pockets with marvellous cleverness. 1t
is estimated that from these wide
spread mines they extracted s375,000,-

Turtle With Long Pedigree

A giant leatherback turtle was re-
ceiyed at the American Museum Of
Natural History yesterday. 1t is said
to be the first that has been taken
along the Atlantic coast in fifteen
years. as well as the largest ever
brought to shore in this country.
This one weighs 716 pounds. 1t
was caught off Block island and was
presented to the museum by G. NJ.
Long & Co. of New London. 1t was
alive when brought in from the sea-
but died shortly after being landed
A wound from a harpoon shows just

Upor its arrival at the museum it
was taken to the basement, where
the museum artist made sketch of

reptilian genealogy say that the leath-
erback family is a most ancient one.
and that If Adam had ever gone down
to the seashore he might have seen
one of them. The family can boast
of an older line even than that OF the
serpent that tempted Eve. The ex-
oerts say that the leatherback is the

Something Like a Swarm

We very frequently hear of snake
and fish stories and sometimes pret-
ty good bee story is told, says the
Huntsville (Mo.) Herald. Our friend,
Bill Hefiin, hardly ever relates any
thing unless he knows what he is
talking about, and all who know him
won't question his veracity one mo-
ment or doubt the correctness of any
story Bill may tell If he claims he has
personal knowledge of anything
connected with it.
Not long ago Mr.. Heflin and Squire
O'Bryan were talking about bees and
the manner of swarming and Mr.
Hefiin was reminded of the immense
swarm he once saw in Missouri. 1t
was during the time Bill was down
south fighting for his country and
along about the last of that sanguin-
airy conflict, when Bill saw that the
southern boys had to surrender to SUI

history get to talking about it they
refer to it as Dermochelus coriacia. a
name not conferred on it by Adam
aforesaid. Proof that the family is
the most ancient among reptiles is
that the spinal column has no fixed
attachment to the shell as in the case
of more modern turtles that have evo-
luted
The museum was very glad to get
so rare a turtle" said Prof George II.
Sherwood. one of the curators. 'It is
the most primitive of reptiles now
with us. There was one caught in
the Indian ocean some years ago that
was larger. On land it could easily
drag six men after it. 1t wasn't much
larger than this one. This is the
third that has been caught in this
country to my knowledge in a good
many years. When we measured this
one we found that it was feet over
all, that is, from snout to tip of tail.
The shell is feet 10 inches long and
3 feet l inch wide. From tip to tip
of flippers was feet"
If the skin does not wrinkle too
much the turtle will be mounted and
placed on exhibition. At any rate a
plaster cast will be made of it for ex.

swarm of bees. Bill says one day
while marching up the Mississippi
valley with his command he saw bees
swarming out of a hole in a big cliff.
The hole, he says, was about three
times the size of a hogshead and the
bees filed the entire space and had
the appearance of a black cloud com
ing out of the hole. He did not know
how long the bees had been coming
out of the hole, but the swarm was
two miles wide. one and half miles
thick and twenty miles long. and that
they were two hours in passing a Civ
en- point. Bill did not go into particu-
lars as to how he got the dimensions
of this great swarm of bees, nor when
they settled, but he says the hole was
left in the cliff, for he saw it after
the bees had vacated 1t. This is the
biggest bee story we ever heard and
it seems too big to be true, but Bill
declares that bis command was not on
a retreat when he saw the swarm

Empire Into Panic.

The mutlny on the Russian warship
kniaz Potemkin is paralleled by two
mutinies that occurred in the British
navy in the year 1897. 1t was period
of great gloom in England. OF debt
and of danger to the nation. For
long time discomfort had been grow
ing am0ng the crews. The dearth of
sailors had forced the authorities to
impress men to such an extent that
in many places it was unsafe to be out
after nightfall, lest the press gang
might be prowling around. Discipline
was severe and the food wretched.
The pay was miserably small, and had
not been augmented since the time of
Charles H.. though the prices of COM
modlties had vastly increased. On
April is Lord Bridport. commanding
the channel fleet at Splthead ordered
his flagship to weigh anchor. The or

Less than month thereafter. how

Frayed Cuffs.

Among the minor arts of life OF
which we have lately given some In
stances is one which is sadly neg
nected. 1t relates to the treatment of
shirt cuffs that show the first protest
against the laundry's handling. The
laundress is cruel, but the man who
pares his shirt cuffs with scissors
heaps folly upon brutality. With the
first touch of steel the cuff is ruined.
