Hedged about as ne is with the
barrier Of caste, the white man in
Hayti generally feels his impotence

powerful incentive for one to reside
there continually; and, as if to miti-
gate the aspority of this outlook. the
native does not incline to favor
Lengthy residence there for the for

Although prevented from making
haste to be rich by being debarred
from the customs (Which is the source
of all emoluments in HaytD, and pre-
vented from sacrificing his life on the
affairs of his adopted country by I'M
mutable laws, the white man of ex-
ceptional talent can both acquire
wealth and achieve immortality by
dying early in his career, without
causing sorrow to the native resi-
dents 1t may be true. as the Hay
tans assert, that their frequent rev.
olutions are strictly family affairs,
and that the foreigner is perfectly
safe-provided he goes into hiding
while the fighting continues-but the
fact remains that very few foreigners
in Hayti ever die Of old age. In a
land where somebody or other is
nearly always out cunning for some
body else, there is the danger, an
ever-present danger, of being shot.
1t may not be with intention; but
therein the real danger lies; for no
Haytian was ever known to hit what
he fred although he is sure to hit
somebody. and that somebody is usu-
ally the highly respected foreigner.
Even an execution is no exception to
the rule. for it requires whole volleys
of musketry to slay one solitary vic.

Sir William Van Horne has given

drawn from his experience in Cuba.
Sir William declares that the sue.

him that the same policy should be

them, and at the same time, to bring
about the industrial development OF
the islands-is to be secured.
The government has three alterna.

build the line with its own forces,

HALLETT GLACIER.
Il is the Only Known Glacier in tho
Interior Of Our Country.

The history of the discovery OF this
glacier is an interesting one. An
old bear hunter chanced upon the field
on Mummy mount, which he called
The largest snow-fleld in the
Rockies" Before his death, which
occurred shortly after, he mentioned
this discovery to gentleman then
living in Denver. who devoted much
time to tho exploration Of new noun
tains and strange localities in and
about this neighborhood.
In 1882 this gentleman. Mr.. Hal
lett. visited the spot entirely alone.
In trying to ascend the north side OF
the iccheld he suddenly broke through
the bridge Of a hidden creyasse, but
by extending his elbows he managed
TO eXtricate himself from his perilous
position and returned in safety to his
camp. This incident finally led him
10 wonder whether this might not be
a glacier. In 1856 and 1887 Mr. Hal
lett in company with an experienced
mountaineer. who was as familiar
with the Alps as with the Rockies.
twice revisited the spot. Upon the
Grst of these expeditions, after a care
full examination. the true nature Of
this vast expanse of snow and ice was
for the first time positively deter
mined. Here in the heart of Colorado
existed n true glacier showing ere
vases. moraines-in short, all the
characteristics of the well-known
Alpine glaciers of Switzerland To
this was given the name it now bears.

TRAFFIC IN TWO CITIES.
More Travellers in view York Than
In Lonoon.

There is more traffic, decidedly, in
London than there is in New York.
but the figures recently published in
tho English capital to prove the great.
er amount of travel there in a day,
compared with New York, fail 10
take into account all Of New Yorks
transportation facilities.
There are COO miles of railway Of
all kinds within the boundaries Of
London. The railroads of New York
city (with 5000, 900 less population
than London) have more than 500
mics, of which the Metropolitan has,
approximately, $50; the Manhattan
Elevated, 115; the Union Huclle-
berry,. rs; and the Brooklyn lines
300. This is exclusive of the mile
age of the New York Central and
Hudson River, the New York and
New Haven the Long Island and the
New York and Putnam within the
city boundaries.
The number of passengers carried
by the New York lines exceeds a bill
lion in a year, which is 800, 10000
more than are carried by the lines
within the boundaries of London in
the like period.
There is much larger number Of
vehicles in the streets of London
than in the streets of New York. The
number of cabs in the English capt.
tai is much larger than the number in
us in New York and the London
omnibus system is very extensive.
It has been pointed out that Picca.
dilly, between The hours of 1 and 9
p. m, is the most crowded point in
London. There is a record in twelve
hours of more than $4,000 vehicles
passing a given point.
These figures appear large, or would
appear large, until compared with
the Manhattan entrance of the Brook
lyn Bridge.

day than in London. a larger city

Liao-Yang Hai-Cheng, and Chikiau
are growing communities where Rus
sia and China are planting agricul-
tural colonies. The treaty port, Niu-
Chwang, or Ying-tze as the natives
call it, has been built up by the bean
cake trade. Lying about thirteen
miles from the mouth of the Lao.
II is the station for the exporting OF
skins. furs. cereals, and timber. 1t
was formerly a military station, but
in 1861, after foreign settlement was
made, it became of commercial i'm
portance. The town proper is thirty
miles from the station and the land
between is laid out in bean farms.
The climate Is healthy and bracing;
the port is closed by ice sometimes
four months of the year. The popula-

orlaln Of abide With Me-"

How the beautiful hymn Abide
with Me" came into being Is recalled
by the efforts which are being made
to complete the rebuilding of the
Lower Brixham church, England,
which was begun thirty years ago in
memory of the author of the hymn,
the Rev. Henry Francis Lyte. At the
age of "a he found himself doomed to
die of consumption. In sorrow at
having to leave his work unfinished
he prayed that it might be granted
to him to write something which
would live to the glory of God when
he was dead. His prayer was grant
ed and he wrote Abide with Me" on
the last evening that he ever spent
at Brixham, after preaching to hia
congregation for the last time.

A curious result of the fire in the
Bibb warehouse was the effect Of the
heat upon several hundred dollars
worth of isinglass. After the valu.
able papers of the firm had been re-
moved from the safe on the night OF
the fire to place of safety some one
suggested that the pile Of isinglass.
which stood near by, be locked within
the safe upon the chance of its being
thus preserved. 1t was preserved,
but 50 curiously did the heat affect it
that while retaining its form and sub
stance, the sheets appeared to be
transformed into silver foil and were
quite as opaque as that article.

The Japanese and Ships Captains

"The Japanese war reminds me-"
said an old-time Bath Me-, sea cap.
tain one day this week "of the earlier
times before Japan was so free with
other nations as she is to-day. In
those days, when a foreign ship enter.
ed the Japanese ports, the captains
were obliged to place his Bible and
rudder in charge of the chief officer Of
the port and leave it there until he
was ready to sail. OF course, he
wouldn't sail without either, and the
laps could easily keep tabs on the
movements of all ships in their har.
bors."

Grain of Wheat as Standard Of Weight

BY an English law enacted in 1866,
1t was provided that silver penny,
called a sterling, should equal in
weight thirty-two wheat grains, well
dried and taken from the center OF
the ear. From this it seems evident
that the grain of wheat was the pro-
totype of the standard grain. The
weight now known as the grain is, of
course, copied from governmental
standards. In 1926 certain weights
and measures were legali2ed in Eng
land, and in 1927 copies of these were
furnished our government, among
them being the trop pound, equivalent
to $3.50 grains. The origin OF the
signs commonly used for the scruple,
dram and ounce does not seen to be
known. II Is not unlikely that they
are entirely arbitrary.-St. Louis Re-
public.

"To Insure Promptness."

An odd little word of three let
ters. which greatly influences the
treatment a man gets in public din
ing places, goes back couple of cen
turies to the coffee houses of Eng
land for its origin AT the doors Of
eating rooms there hung brass
bound boxes, engraved with the
phrase "To Insure Promptness," and
into the slit in the top customers were
expected to drop coins for the waiter
The initial letters of that phrase
have ever since been used to express
the fee given to walters and serv,
ants as an extra inducement to them
to do their work well, or as a requit
al for service promptly rendered,
