The Relation Between Sea and Well
I eyelc

Some interesting relations between
the level of water in wells near the
seacoast and the height of tides are
shown in an article in the Debats of
Paris. This article relates to the OBJ
servations recently concluded by DIR.
II. Honda OF the Royal University of
Toxic, in reference to the level of
the water in wells at some distance
from the sea; 1t had depth of 1900
feet and the level of the water was
about ten feet under the ground level,
which itself was about fifty feet above
the sea. The experiments lasted seg-
eral months, and 1t was found that
there was remarkable concordance
between the daily variations In the
level of the well and the level OF the
tides in the Gulf of Toxic. The high
est point in the well water CORE
sponded to high tide in the gulf. Fur
Their, the level of the water was low
cred with an elevation of barometric
pressure. DR.. Honda then examined
the wells of Negishi, situated only
about mile from the sea and having
depth of 1000 feet. Here the daily
variations. due to the tide, reached
sixteen centimetres. In the wells at
Yoshiwara the variation was from
eight to eleven centimetres. M. de
Parville, in discussing NJ. Honda's ex-
periments, says that in all these
cases we may conclude that the level
of the water in wells depends on the
atmospheric and the subterranean
pressure.-Translation in Public Opin-

touched on the shoulder by the omni-

he was under arrest
Arrested! What for?" asked the
citizen.
For lese majestic. Did you not, just
now, say, That fool the Kaiser?
The gentleman under arrest and his
friends argued with the conscientious
defender of his Kaiser's name, and
turned the matter off as a joke, saying:
But there are other kaisers: there is
the Kaiser of Austria, the Kaiser of
Russia, and the Kaiser Menelik, of
Abyssinia." But it was of no avail
With wise and deprecating shake of
his head, the policeman answered:
Yes, yes! There are other kaisers,

INDIAN DISSEMINATING.
How the Big Demand Has Lowere

How the Big Demand Has Lowered
the Quality of Supply.
1t Is becoming more and more diff
cult, 1t is said, to secure finely woven
Indian baskets, and consequently to
form collections of the basketry of tie
aboriginal American. Fewer of the
fine baskets are being made and the
number of those who desire to make
collections is increasing, says the New
baskets valued Mt $5,000,000 have been
taken from California and Arizona
within the last two years. Not all of
these, however, We're of the kind
sought by the most exacting collectors.
So heavy has been the demand that
the southwest has been well-nigh de-
nuded of the finer baskets. Most Of
the baskets now obtainable are made
hurrledly and to fulfill the demands
made by collectors. The Indians do not
spend the same amount of time upon
them as when they made baskets to be
handed down as heirlooms. In some
cases 1t is not possible for them to find
the durable grasses which they once
used. for civilization has eXtinguished
them.
Some of the earlier baskets We're the
products of months OF labor. Many of
these cannot be bought for less than
sos. and as high as $1,000 has been
paid for specimens. The kind of basket
that can be bought for Sl.50 or 81 Is
not the kind which inexperienced col
lcctor will accept. He wants basket
which illustrates the artistic taste and
the skill of tribe. not a pot boiler
At one time basket-making was All
art carried on by all the tribes of Pa
clnc Coast Indians from Alaska to
Mexico. At present the tribes of Art
iona make most of the baskets. The
Moki, or Hopi, and the Apaches make
many baskets and plaques The Pimas
and Maricopas formerly made fine bas-
kets and some of the former do today.
The Pimas learned the art from the
Maricopas when the latter sought shell
| ter among them from tie slaughter of
| the Yumas, about 100 years ago. The
Maricopas have allowed their basket
weaving to cease, While the Pimas are
again taking it up.
The cheap modern baskets have
heavy fibers and coarse stitches OF
strands. The choicest baskets anJ
| those sought by the connoisseur are
delicately woven with mellow -colored
markings and soft. flexible strands
The latter are so well put together that
they will hold water. 1t is said to be
almost out of the question to form II

The German Emperor. with an an

lars is poor man, and has great diff
ficulty in making both ends meet. de-
clares the London Express. He does
not receive farthing in his capacity
as German Emperor. but fnlfils the
duties of this honorary position free
of charge to the federation of German
States The Kaiser draws his income,
first. as King of Prussia; and, second,
as private landowner.
His income as King of Prussia
amounts approximately to S4,0OO,0Oo,
per annum The Emperor of Russia
receives an annual allowance of ap-
proximateiy S5,O00,C00, and the En-
peror of Austria an annual allowance
Of more than S4,00O.O00. Both these
monarchs receive additional allowances
for certain definite purposes. and both
of them own vast landed estates far
superior in acreage to the German
Emperor's possessions
The Sultan of Turkey receives an
annual allowance of Sl0,OOO,OOO. and
the King of Italy draws over $1,000,
O00 per annum; while the incomes OF
several monarchs of smaller States are
nearly as large as that of the King
of Prussia
The amount of 100000 granted
annually to the German Emperor IN
his capacity as King of Prussia Is not
taken from the national exchequer, but
from revenues from State dominions
which We're formerly the private prop
crty of the Prussian royal house. The
Crown lands We're handed over to the
State. and in return the State pays n
fixed annual income to the monarch.
The Kaiser OWNS eighty-three land
cd estates, comprising total of 25O,-
600 acres. He is the greatest land
owner in Germany. and his posses.
sions far exceed those of the three
landowners whose estates rank next
to his own In acreage. These are the
Prince of Pless, who owns 125,OOO
acres: the Duke of Ujest, who owns
100000: and the Duke of Ratibor, who

Red Wing Owns a Theater.

The first practical step toward the
establishment of an endowed theater
iii this country has been taken by the
little town Of Red Wing, Mimi, boast
ing not more than 5000 souls.
The theater, which cost $4,000, was
the gift of the late Theodore B. Shell
don, citizen of Red Wing. who had
accumulated wealth by wise invest
ments in real estate. On his death 1t
was found that he had made gift
OF theater to his city. In the bequest
1t was stipulated that the new play
house should not be used for gain,
either private or public. but should be
SO managed as to become an ednca-
tlonal factor in the community.
There are no free admissions, and

ployes receive liberal pensions in their
old age or in case of sickness. He
also provides literally for the widows
and children ont of his private purse.
All these payments consume large
proportion of the profits. so that the
Emperor's income from his estates is
comparatively small.
Practically speaking. the German
Emperor is thus obliged to live on his
royal income of S4.0G0,00O per annum,
which is altogether insufficient for his
requirements. The Kaiser has no per-
sonal eXtravagances. but lives sim
pie and strenuous life of hard work
and little luxury. He spends little
the German imperial residence is no
torious for its inferlority.
The Kaiser is not a dandy, and
spends comparatively small amount
every year on his clothes. The horses
he rides are not of particularly
good breed and not unusually expen-
sive. He Is not n gambler. and does
not indulge in other designations which
would be excusable in his position.
He Is, however. eXtravagant in one
respect. namely. in keeping up the
| imperial magniticence of his court on
scale never previously attempted by
King of Prussia The support of rel
atlves forms first charge on the
Kaiser's income. He has to provide
an annual allowance for his six sons,
and has to maintain separate court
for several more distant relatives.
Apart from his expenditure for pur-
poses of royal display. the Kaiser de-
votes large sum every year to the
encouragement of art and OF the
drama. He is continually ordering
monuments to be erected at his own
expense, and buys pictures for presen-
tation to public galleries.
The Kaiser maintains the Royal
Opera House, the Royal Theater in
Berlin. and the Royal Theater Mt

three theaters are conducted only par

Where shadow deep and sunbeam inter

And water lilies in the bayous blew.

That led to distant wood, dank. cool

Where ran the brook with silvery laugh

And rippled softly at my bare, brown
feet.
I'd like to listen to the song birds calling
And hear again the sad-voiced whip.

RuFF,s ADVENTURE.

What is the matter, Ruff? Come,
rome. little dog, you must not let
yourself get so angry. You are old
enough to take better care of that
temper of yours
Max, the sheep dog had been lying
half asleep on the barn floor; but
ne sat up now as Ruff threw himself
down beside him.
Its shame cried the little gray
dog, "The Brown Brothers have stol-
en- all the bones had hidden away"
Max did not look up al once. He
did not even look surprised. In
stead of doing either of these things,
he yawned-a slow, sleepy yawn.
"You may tell that story to the
hens" said he at last Perhaps
they are stupid enough to believe you.
No one else WILL
But it's true" said Ruff,
"You saw the Brown Brothers take
the bones, did you?" Max asked.
NO. said little Ruff. slowly. Il
didn't see them do it. but they are
the only ones who know my hid
Ing place. No one else could be the
thief"
BE careful Ruff! you may be a
thief yourself" said Max sharply.
"a thief" Ruff could not say
another word. He had known very
little when he came to the farm. but
even then he would have been
ashamed to tell lie or to take what
was not his own.
(Which would be worse" Max went
on, ito steal bone from me or from
Father Hound, who is too lame TO
run after you?"
ut would be worse to steal 1t from
him." said Ruff But ! never did
such thing"
why would it be worse?" said
Max
Because he could not help him
self" said Ruff after thinking min
ute.
That's right" said Max. ct is a
mean thing to take away from the
helpless what belongs to them
"The Brown Brothers have very
good NAME" Max Went on. THAT
means that we feel sure they would
not steal anything. But you are try
ing to take that good name which is
worth more to them than all the
bones in the world Do you think
that is the right thing to do. Ruff"
But I'm sure" began the little
dog.
Just then Carl came up from the
garden with pail on his arm.
| We'll, Ruff" said he. ~ have taker
those old bones you had hidden il
the garden to pound up for my vines
I'll give you some more to-day with

Ruff looked at Carl and at the SIX!
and at the trees. He did not wish
to look at Max.
Max let his fore feet slide forward
and dropped his curly head upon hi
paws again.
