that the reverse is sometimes the

Tie agent Of big corporation at once
entered into negotiations with the in

$1,000 for his idea. For days they
beat about the bush until finally the
young man agreed to accept $1,000.
The money was paid over, the neces-
sary papers signed and the agent left

HOW ANIMALS PLAY.
They Are as sportive as the Children
Of Men

VI NCV.
The sense of humor in animals
awakens very early. A ferret Will
play with her kittens. n cat with hers.
dog with her puppies. A mare will
play with her foal, though perhaps sci.
dom or never has any one seen COW
trying to amuse her calf nor any birds
their young. If their mothers do not
amuse them the young ones invent
games of their own.
flock of ewes and lambs was once
observed in adjoining fields, separated
by a fence with several gaps in It.
Follow my leader" was the game
most in favor with this flock, the big
gest lamb leading around the field and
then jumping the gap, with all the
others following in single file; any
lamb that took the leap unusually well
would give two or three more enthus-
iastics jumps or exuberant happiness
when 1t reached the other side.
Fawns play sort of cross touch
from one side to the other, the touch"
in each case being by the nose. Little
pigs are also great at combined play,
which generally takes the form OF
races. Emulation seems to form part
of their amusement, for their races
always seem to have the winning Of
the first place for their object, and are
quite different from those combined
rushes for food or causeless stampedes
in which little pigs are wont to indulge.
Racing is an amusement natural to
some animals, and. being soon taught
by others, becomes one of the most ex-
| citing pastimes. Many horses and all
racing dogs learn to be as keen at
winning as schoolboys.
Birds delight in the free and fanciful
use Of their wings. There is all the
difference possible between the. flight

It's five hundredth performance at the

night, November IA. For such an
enormous production to run over five
hundred times in New York city, at
a playhouse as large as the Hippo
drome, where 5000 people can be ac-
commodated, is an achievement abso-
lutely unequalled in theatrical his
tory. When "A Society Circus" is

formed in New York over 600 times,

WATER IN RIVER
IS RATHER HIGH

In running down the rumor current
yesterday to the effect that the Ala
media dyke had broken, "a representl
ative of The Evening Citizen found
the rumor to be entirely false. County
Surveyor Rankin, who went to the
scene of the reported break yester-
day afternoon, stated that the water
while somewhat higher than usual,
was not at all swift In current, and
that it had not yet reached the dyke,
nor was there any danger of it's do
ing so unless something unforeseen
should happen.
A representative of this paper made
tour of the river districts yesterday
evening and found that while the
Rio Grande was spreading out and
was somewhat high, no danger of an
overflow was as yet apparent.
At Barehas the water was up &c
within several feet of the bridge, and
was spreading out over the lowlands
in close proximity to uhe rivers DanK
but had not yet reached the dyke.
At several other places along the
river where observations were talier
the water was found to be very high
but no signs of the annual spring
flood were in sight.

Next Few Days Ends Suspense. Senate Amend
ments Have Been Disposed of and Com
mittee Ready to Draft Report
SENATE COMMITTEE is TIED ON TYPE OF CANAL
Senator Bailey SCOurges the President With Whip Of
Thongs For His Compromise on the
Railway Rate Bill.

Washington, D. c., May 12.-At the
meeting of the statehood conference,
to be held at the call of Senator eeV-
eridae, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on territories, the report upon
the statehood bill as far as Arizona
and New Mexico are concerned, will
be formulated.
The senate amendments to the bill
were practically disposed of in yes
terdays session of the conference.
It is stated that an agreement has
been adopted whereby the Foraker
amendment, in modified form, will
prevail.
AS modified, the adoption of the
amendment will give Arizona and
New Mexico statehood, if the people
of the two territories by vote at a
general election, agree to have those
territories become one state. lThe
foregoing would seem to intimate that
the vote on statehood will be sub
mitted to the people at the same time
with the adoption of the constitution
and the election for officers in the
new state. 1t also seems to intimate
that the decision will lie with the ma
jority of all the people in the pro-
posed state, and not merely with
majority of the people of Arizona. The
Citizen was unable to ascertain
whether or not this Interpretation Is
correct

RAPID TRANSIT POSSIBLE
BY ONE RAIL Line
Inventor Of Mono-Rail System Asks Fran
chise For Traversing Greater New York
at 100 Miles Per Hour Speed.

One of the branches would run to
Coney Island, and for this road Mr..
Behr now has an application pending
for franchise from the junction of
Atlantic and Flatbush avenues, Brook
lyn, out Fourth avenue and other
streets to Coney Island. At a recent
hearing before the railroad committee
of the board of aldermen, Mr.. Behr Of
fered to give the city the free use
of his patent if the municipality would
build the Coney Island line.
The Behr mono rail-" which has
been endorsed by engineers In this
country and Europe, attains very high
speed by the use of electricity for
power, applied to a motor car running
on a single rail. The rail is laid upon
the apex of an A shaped structure,
either on the surface, underground or
as an elevated line, and the car strad-
dies it as a rider does a horse. Both
sides of the car hang far below the
rail, thus lowering the center of gray-
ity, so that It is impossible for the
car to turn over or to leave the rail.
In practical operation on a trial
track, three miles long, at the Brus-
sells Exposition, the Behr car main
tanned an average speed OF ninety
miles an hour, over a course Of curves
and straight track, and the commits
sion named by the British parliament
which gave Mr. Behr a franchise to
build one of his roads from Liver
pool TO Manchester reported that an
average speed Of 10 miles an hour
could be made with perfect safety.
The Liverpool Manchester line is
now under construction.
