A."LoBsTER PARK"

Garge Enclosures Of Canadian Coast
Where HOLSTERS Are Cultivated)
wooden piles driven into the bed of the
sea. At each end of the Enclosure are
open iron work grills, by which the tide
can flow in and out. When the park"
is ready, it is stocked with hundreds
of Holsters, intended to multiply and
lead a life of lobster luxury until grown
big and plump enough to be netted and
served up for the table.
In the picture we see two boats.
Every third day is feast day in 'lob-
ster park" The man in the boat on the
left is tossing bucketfuls of chopped-up
fish to the Holsters in the inclosure
He at the PROV of the right-hand boat
is supplying these pampered Holsters
with punches of choice" seaweed,
which is also good for them Each
corner of this particular park" is, we
notice, furnished with a lamp-post,
which, when lighted at night, serves to
warn any passing boats of the obstruc-
ton.

The proposed bore-hole IL miles

that the great pressure of 40 tons per
square inch would cause viscous flow
of rock material, making the feat i'm
possible. Hon. C. A. Parsons replies
that this idea can be tested by SUBJ

Toronto, Can.-There are parks Of

of what is knewn as lobster park.
True, this is comparatively small
specimen; for, on the coast of Canada,
a lobster park" $4,000 feet square is
in use. But the one illustrated serves
to show the principle of the contrivance,
which, for rearing Holsters, Is so sue
cessful that more of them are to be
constructed in Canada, Nova Scotia and

sheltered ocean reach, is made of stout

The chief objection Nine. Mountford
makes to American styles is that they
have no significance. The women OF
this country, she says, pick their dresses
solely with a view to making them
harmonic with their compilations, in
stead of having certain form for each
condition and station in life.
The costumes of the women of the
Holy Land are taken by Nine Mount

Remarkable Bell.

The bell at the modern church Of
Llandevaud, in England, church built
so years. has curious history. The
present building was erected on the site
of pre-Reformation church, and while
it was in hand a local farmer offered
to give an old bell which was in one
of his barns. The offer was gladly &C.
cepted, and the bell turned ont to be
the original one from old Llandevaud,
which after some 300 years silence once
more calls the people to church.

haversack, water bottle, mess tin and
canteen, grass woven case to contain
the ration of rice, blanket, portable
tent, mosquito net for the head, house
wife, bandage wrapper, and identified

containing creosote pills, which each
soldier must carry and is expected to
take as prophylactic against dysen-
terry.
One notable feature of all the cloth
ing is that it is apparently made of the
best material. The material for winter
clothing appears to be all wool, and in
color and warmth reminds one of the
brownish Jaeger clothing.
In the neat blue parade uniform,
Jacket or tunic, plain fat brass but
tons are used, but in the working kit
buttons are done away with as far as
possible, fastenings being in nearly
all instances carried out by means of
fat hooks and eyes. The summer
Jacket and trousers are of khaki drill,
the jacket is perfectly plain and there
are no buttons on any of the garments.
A strip of white linen is issued to
wind round the neck as collar inside
the tunlc.
The winter tunic and trousers are
made plain, like the khaki suit, but are
of good wooden cloth.
The "cold proof" winter overcoat
to be devised to insure warmth in the
most severe climate. Made of thick
wooden cloth, it has large collar, COW
cred with fur, which is of course inside
when the collar is raised. From the
middle of the edge of this collar cot
ton cap or hood can be pulled out so
as to cover the head, and over this can
be worn the ample detached wooden
"cold proof hood, which from it's shape
recalls the hoods of Chaucer's time.
Hanging by cords from the neck are
large gloves or mittens-one division
for all the fingers and one for the
thumb; they can thus be thrown of
when the hand is required for firing or
any other purpose. without being lost
A sheepskin waistcoat with the wool
outside is also issued for severe weather.
It fastens at one side.
The underclothing is of similar good
material to that of the outer garments,
q cotton shirt and drawers for sum-
mer and a thick knitted wooden jersey,
or sweater, and pants for winter The
ribbed wooden stockings are made with
out heels, and warm toe caps are issued
in the coolest weather to wear over the
stockings to prevent frostbite These
toe caps are made of a lambs wool ma
terial like the very thick line, the soft
surface being inside. A roll of fine
striped flannel of very good quality and
about yard and half long is issued
| to be wound round the abdomen, and
takes the place of a cholera belt.
It is interesting to note that the
wooden cloth and blanket are made in
the Japanese military wooden cloth fac
| tory, while hemp cloth, cotton cloth and
leather are made or prepared In private
factories in Japan and cut out and sewn
| in the military clothing depot.
| The ordinary army boots give the i'm
preston of comfort and durability.

the boot issued to the British soldier,
but on close inspection they are seen 70

Girl In Hunt piCtureS---
President Destroys Them

Denver, COL, June 19-Because
the figure Of pretty young wo-
man appears in the background
of the pictures taken of the presi-
dents hunting party in the noun
tains of Colorado, Mr.. Roosevelt
has ordered that hundreds of cop
pies may be destroyed. The neg
ative from which the pictures
were made is in the possession of
of G. E. Kruger, of Glenwood
Spring.
The young woman is the Glen
wood Springs correspondent of
a Denver paper. On the day of
President Roosevelt's return from
the mountains the girl, together
with a New York newspaper man,
went a few miles in a buggy to
meet Mr.. Roosevelt. AS the Presi-
dent came up, the girl mounted

a horse and rode off with the par
ty. She got between the Presi-
dent and DR.. Lambert, it is said
and attempted to converse with
Mr.. Roosevelt, who though dis,
pleased over the affair, refrained
from criticism for courtesy's sake.
In the photograph the girl s
head appears over the shoulder of
the hunter, Wells, and to the left
of the president. The objection
which President Roosevelt raised
to the picture and which resulted
in the order this morning was bas-
ed on the garb which the girl
wore. The skirt lacked many
inches of touching the ground
and a cooked hat, a bandana hand,
kcrchief around the neck and
sleeves rolled up "washerwoman'
style, made her appearance decid,
edly picturesque.

Rowan's deception, and he also

Rowan is from Moundsvillle,

else presumed upon the facts that
any breaks he might make would
be laid to the greenness of a new

ment and legal one if the City
Fathers would make arrange
ments to have plenty of good
water for the people to drink on
that day. A few barrels with
ice and kept filled with water will
not cost much, and the people will
appreciate the favor. A number
of seats should be erected so that
people would have some place to
rest. There are plenty of people
whom our merchants want to
come here and trade, and we can
think of. no better investment
right now than to have the visi-
tors who will come here on the
Fourth treated with kindness and
courtesy. We are satisfied that
the City Dads will do their part
and only suggest the water and
seats. A place for farmers to
leave their horses would also be
appreciated by the visitors. Let
