REPORTS CONCERNING
THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE

London, Feb. 2S. Telegraphing from
Pekin, the correspondent Of The Trib-
,utle,. says: NJ
The sub-prefect Of Nan Chang, who
has had a bad reputation among for
Ieigners since the Boxer troubles, in
yited the missionaries to banquet.
After the banquet the sub-prefect
Withdrew and attempted to commit sun
eide. This act in Chinese eyes, nee
sessitated vengeance and led to the mas
sacre of missionaries.
The feeling in Pekin is apprehen-
ssive owing TO the fact that Chinese
shot was thrown at the dowager EN-
press while she was walking in the
palace garden. The misereant has not
been discovered. Z

TROT OR GALLOP?
A Problem For People With Even
Very Sharp Eyes.

A Problem For People With Even
Very Sharp Eyes.
Here is a problem for people with
sharp eyes: As we all know, a horse
when walking or trotting advances
only one leg Of each pair at time, but
when gallOping lifts both forefeet to-
gether and then both hind feet. Now,
the question Is how other animals man.
age this matter. The birds, Of course,
flap both wings together, but which
birds run and which hop? We human
beings 'trot" when we walk and gal
lOp'' when we swim-that is, if we are
using the plain breast stroke. The dog,
however, 'trots" for both. Now, dc
the amphibious animals-the seals, Of
tiers and the rest-swim like men or
like other four footed creatures?
Then there are the fish. One would
rather expect that, as they move their
tails from side to side, they would flap
alternately with the fins, which are
their hands and feet. Who can tell
whether they do or not, and whether
all fish at all times follow one rule?
By the way, how does frog use it's
''hands?" The great anatomist, E. Ray
Lancaster, has pointed out that, while
the thousand legs" such as our COM
mon galleyworm, advance two feet of
a pair together, the centipeds, which
are much like them, do exactly the OPP
posite, and the swimming worms also
alternate tie stroke of each pair of
paddles.
Few people can tell on which system
the caterpillar manages its dozen or so
legs or whether the adult insect walks,
trots, PAGES or gallops on its six. How
does the spider use eight? Altogether,
this is large field for observation. a
field, too. where any one may discover
new facts as yet unrecorded, and thus
add to the store Of knowledge.

you, on moonlight night, with calm
sea and soft, pleasant air, in the Medi-

eve aboard great ship Is something
for most passengers to remember I'm
sure I can't imagine anything more
charming.
THE band plays lively music, and the
passengers dance on deck, but If they
imagine they are the only ones aboard
ship who are celebrating Christmas eve
they are mistaken. If they were to
look into the forecastle they would
see another Christmas tree there, also
covered with little decorations and
gifts-the sailors tree. For, you know,
a German is only half German with
German ship has one.
Long before the ship sailed from
her home port on the Christmas voy-
age friends and relatives of each sailor
prepared some little presents, which
they sent forward in. care Of some &C
quaintance IN the crew SO that their
particular sailorman might have his
surprise at the right time. OF course
these gifts are inexpensive. for the
sailors family has little money to
spare, but pipe, warm stockings or
some such article is received aboard
the vessel and carefully kept until the
proper time, when all are hung on the
tree. The company gives the sailors
little wine or beer and Christmas cakes
This applies also to the firemen, who
have a tree of their own in their room
So, as you will see, there are usually
as many as three trees aboard the ship.

CONTRACTOR HAVE PLACED Or
DERS FOR MEN TO WORK ON
RlPARlA ROAD.
Work on the New Extension Is to be
Pushed as Rapidly as
Possible.

Fifteen hundred men will be en-
ployed on the Lewiston-Riparia line
as soon as the stage of water is suf-
ficient for the boats to operate again.
Contractor Peterson, of the firm of
Erickson &, Erickson, who mas been
in the city since Sunday with Engi-
neer Brandon, has placed an order
with Seattle and Portland employment
bureaus for the requisite number of
men, says the Lewiston Tribune. They
are to arrive in gangs of thirty each
day until the number is obtained. The
first consignment was to have been
sent out Of Seattle yesterday, but the
order was Cancelled owing to the condi-
ton of the river. The lowness of the
water has retarded the work greatly
and has imposed serious handicaps on
the contractors.
Mr.. Peterson will be more in this
vicinity in the future, and being a
practical construction man will de-
vote personal attention to the work
of building the railroad. He will leave
mis- California home for the present He
states that the work has got to move
along faster and will himself take an
active part in the building of the Lew
iston- Clearwater bridge. He will al
ternate this with occasional trips
down the river in connection with the
grading work.
This morning Mr. Peterson will
leave for Portland, where ne will re-
main on business for several days. In
company with Chief Engineer Boschke.

return to the city and they will make

of work that has been done along the
entire line
