A Trip That Makes History

Thirteen days. 81 hours and minutes.
This is the new transpacfc record.
And the monster steamship the Minnesota is the proud
possessor of the title having reached Seattle Tuesday
night.
Mr.. Hills big liner made her maiden round trip from
Seattle to the Orient without accident of any sort.
For takes officer of extraordinary ability to handle
such huge craft we'll of the ghes caiber
But to James j. Hill, the master mind the Man Of the
Northwest belong the real fluctuations.
When the sonorous tones of the Minnesota's whistle
sounded along Seattle harbor 'front.' Tuesday night they
sent welcome message to the great in st. Paul, and
said to him.
The dream of your life is a reality
Years when Seattle clutter of novels and the
twang of the Indians bow familiar than the
sound Of the woodman S James j. Hill looked out into
the westou the uncuvated prares and the great
stretches of forest-and in their stead beautiful roll
ing of waving grain and great mills that turned out
the material for buildings and houses churches and
schools.
Years ago. when this man, in the face of appar-
emily insumountabe difficulties, pushed line of railroad
through these prares and forests he looked out the
great Pacific and he realized that before this section
could be truly great there must be hips plying between
here and the Orient carrying American goods and
bringing back to shores the products of Japan and
China
And while the big down in Wall street were laugh

Minnesota whistles Tuesday night
The Minnesota's record trip marks epoch in the his
tory of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.
And the grzzled head Of of the greatest
of the world with a wreath OF laurel.

In Union 10 strenoth.

"A man is but cluster on the great
human grapevine. He begins to dry
up the moment he is cut of from his
fellows: There is something in the
solidarity of the human race which
cannot be accounted for in the sum to
tai of all the individuals. Separation
from the mass involves mighty loss
of power in the iSdividuai. just as
there is loss of cohesion and adhe-.
sion involved in the separation of the
molecules and atoms of the diamond. !
The value of the gem is in the close
contact, the compactness, and the con-
centration of the particles which COM
pose IL. The moment they are sepa-
rated It's value is gone. So a strong,
effective man gets a large part of his
strength from the vital connections
with his fellows.-Success Magazine.

Negro Turning White.

A correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Call says: The latest freak Of
nature and marvel of the medical SCI
entists Is the change of color which is
gradually creeping over the body OF a
negro porter, Charles Hugo Bell, In
Colusa. Mutation began several years
ago. The spots OF white have spread
to the face and hands Although the
victim OF this strange disease suffers
no Ill effects at present, he has been
advised that as soon as the complete
change takes place death will ensue.
At present he is employed at hard la
Dor and enjoys life. but is the subject
of much curiosity.
Bell was born in Columbia, Georgia,
in 1866. His parents were full-blooded
negroes, coming direct from Africa as
slaves to the United States.

wish l had Hanna's money and he
was in the poor house" The senator
smiled grimly. and on returning to his
Office sent for the boy. so you wish
you had my money and l was in the
poor house, eh?" he said. Now, sup
posing you had your wish, what would
you do?" The youngster. one of the
readywltted Irish variety, said with a
droll grin: well, guess I'd get you
out OF the poor house the first thing"
This adroit answer brought the lad an
increase of pay the next week.

The Ailments of Rails.

A curious phenomenon observed on
railways in India is reported by Mr..
Wilkinson, an English engineer, and
noted in La Nature. Says that Journal:
"At the end of certain time, the rail
presents a series of protuberances on
the rolling surface, spaced about mil
limetres Q-5 inch) apart and 10 mill
limetre Goa inch) high. This arises
from an excessive elasticity of the
metal; under the influence of the vi
bration, nodes and loops are produced
and the loops wear away more quickly
than the nodes by contact with the
rails.-Literary Digest.

DUCK HUNTING IN JAPAN.

Artihciality Combined with Nature In
Capturing the Birds.
Marquis Kuroda's pond is some ten
acres in extent. Around its entire cir
conference great moundlike wall
some fifteen feet in height has been
thrown up, and upon its summit and
slopes a dense canebrake has been
planted, which rises some thirty feet
more in the air, and absolutely cuts off
all vision of the interior expanse OF
water. At intervals of some thirty
yards, for half the circumference of the
circle and on the landward side bitches
about six feet deep and five feet wide
have been dug. These bitches with the
waters of the lake some eighteen inches
deep in them, are about hundred
feet long, banked with earth and
sodded on each side, some three feet
above the surface of the surrounding
land. Where they enter the lake two
right-angled turns are made, which as
sure complete screening Of the lake
from any outside view, or vice versa.
A thousand tame ducks are kept in
this lake to decoy the wild ones into
the byway feeding bitches.
When the ducks once enter the ditch
and begin feeding, the warden pulls the
bell-wire and warns the host and his
guests at the house several hundred
yards away, and, as the birds approach,
he pulls a second string, which con-
meets with and closes light wire gate
where the ditch debouches into the
lake. The duck are thus trapped in a
deep, narrow ditch, from which they
have no escape except in upward flight.
The netsmen hurry to either side of
the bank-protected ditch, and line up
along its entire length, with their long
poled nets held rigidly and their eyes
fixed ON the cut in the earth. war
den creeps to the rear end Of the ditch
and cautiously peeps over. With
series of frightened squawks and
splashing and tapping of many wings,
the terrified birds rise like bullets
from the water; the nets sweep through
the air and are brought bottom side
up on the rearward side, when few of
the most lucky are found to have a
threshing, loudly quacking duck en-
meshed therein.-William Didwiddie,
in Harper's Weekly.
