 Of all the curiosities at San Rossore, the most curious undoubtedly, the eamels used for the purpose of remov- ing the timber. These camels are not by any means ordinary camels. They are historical camels, and would be proud of it were they conscious of it, for it is said their ancestors figured in the crusades. History tells us that these animals were brought from Syria to Pisa in galleys, which the Pisan re- public had dispatched to the Holy Land for the purpose of bringing back load of the mould from the grave of Christ. It was supposed that this mould had the pecaliarity of absorbing the bodies buried in it. The Pisans intrusted with the mission of bringing it over evil dently thought that they could not bet ter when it was shipped on board the galleys than to embark as well the camels, which had been laden with it These canels were sent on to San Ros- sore They prespered and multiplied there, and it is their descendants which are used for the purpose of shifting the timbers from the royal demesne..
 With regard to the dogs in the ken nels at San Rossore, every breed in use for sporting purposes has been perpos- *ered there from from the remotest mediaeval times. They have their hospital, as we'll as a small cemetery, with it's accompanying tombstones on which are recorded the names of the dogs which had their heeting hours of celebrity in the hunting field. With regard to the chateau itself it is of somewhat modest appearance and dimensions, but it contains numerous works of art of priceless value.
 Victor Emmanuel II. spent much of his spare time at sam Rossore between 1864 and 1S7o-that Is to say, at the time when his capital was at Florence and not at Rome. In 1868 the King be came very ill, and so serious was his condition that the Bishop of Pisa was sent for to hear his confession The preate came in haste, and thought to profit by the opportunity to ask him to make political concessions.

with accuracy the exact extent of the changes. The second survey was made in 1886 by R. s. Woodward of the Uni- ted States Geological survey, now di- rector of the Carnegie Institute at Washington. The result surprised the world.
 Woodward's survey showed that the falls had moved two hundred and twen- ty feet since 1S42! The rate at the cen- ter had been, therefore, five feet per annum; Woodward proved that the tre- mendous area of five acres of rock had been precipitated from the face of the falls in the half century Track News.

Detroit Family Adopts Ten Children
 and Has Distant Wards.
 There is a childless couple in De- tnoit with ten children. No, 1t is not a riddle, but fact. The paradox is ex- plained by saying that, although this remarkable couple has no children, it has adopted ten little waifs. Tae Mo Gregors (the name of the couple) are young and wealthy and are making the rearing of orphans and outcasts their hobby.
 The McGregors now have ten in their home, but they hope soon to have five more, at which number they will keep their peculiar family. In order to do this they bought five acres and a beautiful stone house in Highland Park, one of the best parts of Detroit. Here they have a lawn for the chil- dren's playground when the weather is fair, and an immense porch and nurs- cry when the storm king is abroad. They have youngsters of all shades and sizes.
 Each child has a room of it's own.
 
 cooked every day. The children are taught to regard each other as broth CTS and sisters. Mrs. McGregor is called mother and Mr McGregor ''father." Those that are old enough attend the Detroit public schools. Fur A1er, they are given to understand that a college course will be open to them should they wish to take it. If one of the boys wishes to forego this course, with it terrible perils of foot ball and hazing, the McGregors will start him in business
 Here and there over the country also the McGregors have wards. Out in San Francisco they have alittle Chinese daughter Sing Loo is the name of this little almond-eyed maid, who is being rapidly divorced from her joss sticks. It can be easily be believed that Sing Loo loves her "Melican" mamma, who takes an interest in her as, without an operation, she would find it hard to love one of her own stony-faced race. Sing Loo is attend ing an English school.
 Away down amid the sand hills of Mexico the MeGregors have another little ward. This time it is a bouncing young Mexican boy. Sprinkled here and there amid the mountains of Ken lucky and Tennessee are more of their wards. These are the rough un- educated youngsters to whom going to school is as are as untattered pants"
 The McGregors struck out into a new line of charity when they built two churches for the negroes in certain rural regions of South Carolina. But the youngsters in their home in Detroit afford them their chief source of de- light.-Chicago Chronicle.

 The only reliable data that can form basis for speculation as to the pro- gress of Niagara Falls from Lake On tario to the present site is found by comparing the two surveys that have been made of the falls, one in 1S42 and the other in 1886 The first of these was a trigonometrical survey made by Dr. John Hall, nestor of the New York State Geological servey. At the sug- gestion of Sir Charles Lyell, who visit. ed the falls with him, monuments were erected at the points at which the an- gles were taken in order that some later surveyor would be able to find

A LESSON LEARNED.

According to the New York Sun,
unexpected fire drills held on several
OF the excursion craft In the New York
harbor found the crews familiar with
their duties and prompt in answering
the alarms, which lead the Sun to
comment; The lesson OF the General
slocum appears TO have been learned.
1t Is not well to be too confident. It is
only by enforcing the strictest super
vision that excursion steamers can
be kept up to a reasonable standard OF
efficiency. With the American type OF
vessel the only protection against fire
Is the good discipline of the crew and
the first class condition OF all the fire
fighting equipment On that and a
system Of patrol must rest the pro
lection of those who use steamers that
will burn with great rapidity IL once

THE SLIDING HOG.

Chairman WadswoIth declares that
he does not believe Commissioner
Neill actually knew whether the hog
that slid into filthy place was after
ward cleaned or not. This seems to be
rather beside the mark. Mr.. Neil says
the hog was sent on its way without
being cleaned. 1t may later nave been
cleaned. But whether cleaned or not.
the fact remains that IL slid into a
filthy place, and that the filthy place
was there for 1t to slide into. All OF
which is more important, as bearing
upon toe sanitary methods OF the
packers, than whether Mr.. NELL
actually saw with his own eyes the
final cutting up of that hog In an I'M
washed state. To paraphrase Lew
Dockstader's old boarding house rule
to prevent hogs sliding into filthy
places there should be no filthy places.

WHITES WIDOW
GETS A FORTUNE

New York, July THE widow OF
Stanford White was paid yesterday by
the Equitable Life Assurance society
$149,040 which was the value of a
single policy White had carried on his
life for number of years. There
are several policies for comparatively
small amounts issued by the Equit-
able on the life of White, on which no
claim for payment has yet been pre-
sented. The face value of these is
about $4,000, but their value to the
benefciaries is $4,000. When White
took out these policies his physical
condition was not perfect and the con-
tract he made with the Equitable pro-
vided that II death occurred within a
certain period deduction OF a stipu-
lated percentage should be made from
the face value of each policy The
bullet which Harry Thaw fired into
the architects brain terminated his
life within the period mentioned in
the policies and consequently reduced
their value.

ing company to travel free of expense
by refunding to them all money ex-
pended for their transportation. II
was declared by the court that this
did not comprise a rebate, and he In
structed the jury that verdict OF not
guilty should be returned as to these
two counts of the indictment which
charged giving of rebates in connec-
tion with their passenger transporta-
ton.
In the other eight counts of the in
dictment ON all of which defendants
were found guilty, two offenses against
the Elkins law were proved. 1t was
shown by the government that the
railroad had charged 81 per car for
handling products of Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger at Kansas City, and had
then repaid the packing company 81
on each car. The government
claimed, and the court held that fail
ure of the railroad to publish in is
tariff sheet the fact that 81 was re-
paid made it In effect secret rebate.
1t was claimed by the attorneys for
the defendants that the refund of 81
per car was necessary because the
packing company owned track near
its plant and compelled the railroa1
to pay that amount for trackage when
it hauled cars away. Judge Lands
disagreed with this contention, and
declared the payment of the 81 con-
stituted secret rebate.
Under the law the maximum sent.
ence OF the court may be a fine of
$4,000 for each of the defendants.
No Imprisonment provision appears

eight counts Of the indictment upheld
