A Malay Water slide

In Perak. a state in the Straits Set
Elements, the Malays have one form Of
amusement which is probably not to be
enjoyed anywhere else in the wide
world.
There is huge granite slope in the
course of d mountain river, down which
the water trlckles about two inches
deep, the main stream having carved
out bed by the side Of the bowlder.
This rock, the face Of which has been
rendered as smooth as glass by the con-
slant flow Of water during hundreds Of
years, the Malays-men, women and
children-have turned into toboggan.
Climbing to the top Of the rock, they
sit in the shallow water with their feet
straight out and hand on each side
for steering and then slide down tho
sixty feet into pool Of water.
This Is favOrite sport on sunny
mornings, as many as 200 folks being
engaged at time and sliding SO quick
ly one after another or forming rows
of two, four or even eight persons that
they tumble into the pool q confused
mass OF screaming creatures. There Is
little danger in the game, and, though
some choose to sit on a piece Of plan
tain, most of the tobogganers are con-
tent to squat on their launches.

Trldncnn shells.

Tridacna shells are very commonly
used in churches in Europe for holy
water basins and even fonts. The lar
gest perhaps are those in use at st.
Peters, Rome. These shells attain a
weight of 800 pounds (the two valves
together), the animal itself sometimes
being twenty pounds in weight. The
word ''tridacna" is from the Greek tri-
dallnos (eaten at three bites), but who
could eat a twenty pound animal at
three bites ?-St Nicholas.

Maddern. the Drilling Champion, His
ASSailant,

Bourne, Or, Jan. 2S.-Last night
about IL o'clock. William Madden,
the drilling champion. known through
most of the camps from Montana
west, met William Thorne, who is
employed with him at the e. & F..
mine. though on different shifts, in
Fleegers Columbia saloon, and as
there had been bad blood between
them ever since Madden came in the
upper camp some few months ago
they got into a quarrel and while
the abusive language was at its height
Maddern whipped out a huge revol-
yer and fired directly at his old enc
my. The weapon was wrested from
the irate driller, and later he was
taken into custody by Marshal Will
son.
Concerning the affair Maddern re-
fused to talk for publication, but
Some of his friends assert that he
will clam self defense, as it is alleged
Thorne had asserted he would do
him harm.
Thorne's condition at noon today is
very precarious and DR.. Brown. who
is In attendance, gives but little hopes
OF his recovery.

FOR JUVENILE COURTS.
Timely Law Introduced for Protection
of Children.


Upon Senator Holman, of Multno-
nah, has fallen the honor of intro
duclng the bill providing for a juve-
nile court. Another BILL fathered by
the same member, provides that any
person responsible for conditions
making a child amenable to the work.
ings of such a court, under the act,
shall be fined not to exceed $1,000 or
imprisoned in the county Jail for a
period not to exceed one year. JUS
tice courts are given concurrent juris-
diction with the circuit court in such
cases.
The court is given jurisdiction in
the case of any child under the age
of 16 years who is dependent on the
public for support without proper
parental care or guardianship, found
in disorderly house, saloon or gambl-
ing house, or in the society of VIC
ious or depraved persons, or whose
home is unfit for 1t because its pa
rents are cruel or negligent.
The same is true OF any child under
the age of IL years found peddling
anything on the street, singing or
playing any musical instrument on
the street, giving any street entertain
ment or aiding any person so doing,
or who is Incorrigible and is found in
any saloon or gambling house.
Any reputable person may draw
the attention of the court to a case
of this kind, and a summons shall is
sue for the person having charge Of
the child to bring 1t into court within
"a hours. II it is seen that there will
be any difficulty in securing attend
ance, a warrant may issue for the
person having the care of the child
or for the child.
The circuit court is given original
jurisdiction in all cases of this char
acter. Any person interested may de-
mand jury trial, six persons consti-
tuting the jury. Judges OF the cir
cult court in districts having a pop
ulation of 100000 may at such times
as they determine designate one or
more of their number to hear all
cases coming under the act.
