Every little while some English
writer appears with the theory that
the physique Of Americans Is becom-
ing assimilated to that OF the abor-
igines. 1t is philologist. Enid Camp
bell Dawncey, who now uses this the
DRY to account for the peculiarities of
American speech as due to a particu-
lar formation Of the palate, peculiar
originally to the American Indians.
but now shared by the invaders -
That this is nonsense appears from the
fact that Americans taken in childhood
to England speak with an English ac-
cent There can be no question as to
the marked divergence OF English and
American speech, particularly in the
matter of intonation. American speech
is much more monotonous and less
spontaneous, the regular fall OF the
voice at the close OF sentences being
perhaps bookish rather than conversa-
tionaL Thus American speech. among
the cultivated. Is apt to be simple, even
and logical. like page of print, while
English speech is much more varied
and expressive In its cadences.-

Among the prominent men Of New
England there was none, perhaps, who
wore a larger collar than Tom Reed
One hot day in the summer of 1901
Reed was in Portsmouth, and, having
to wait over for train, he decided to
make an impromptu toilet, changing his
collar, etc So he HE'D himself to the
nearest haberdasher's and began a gen
eral survey of the collar display in the
store.
WAITED on, sirT queried one Of the
clerks.
mot yet" responded Reed, and then
added, 81 would like a collar"
"What size?" piped the clerk.
"Size 90" answered Reed.

Reed went and found the third store
above. 1t was harness shop.

1t is the needlessness of most noises
that renders them insufferable. You
sleep very well through the roar Of a
wintry storm, but If some one has for
gotten TO fasten a blind, and it begins
to bang, then you are lost; you might
as well get up and locate that blind
and fasten it first as last. The mani
fold noises of your steamers plunge
through the night, with the perpetual
wash of the sea, unite in lullaby to
which the worst conscience sinks into
repose; but a snorer breaking from
the next stateroom recalls the memory
of all ones sins. The rush and leap
and incessant but varied grind and
clang of the sleeping car become sooth-
ing at last, but a radiator, beginning
to fizz and click after the steam has
been turned off, seems to leave the
would-be sleeper no resource but sui
eide; If you could get at the second
engineer, and leave him weltering in
his gore, lyou could snatch a few cat
maps before morning; but you cannot
get at the second engineer after mid
night in most hotels. Continuous
noises and necessary noises are things
you can adjust senses or your spirits
to; but the noise without a reason
without an apparent right, like the
knawing of a rat in the wainscot, is
what drives so many to perdition.-W

THREE STEAMERS TIED UP.
Unable to Buy Coal to Get Away
From Puget Sound

Seattle, Dec. 20.-Three steamships
with tramp cargoes have been tied up
on Puget sound for a week awaiting coal
which they have been unable TO buy.
Two steamers which made a special
trip to Comox, B. c., for fuel had to
return to port on this side of the line
and in the steamship trade, at least,
the British Columbia coal famine is as
acute as in American ports. Seattle
coal companies, giving the shipping
trade the preference, have been able
thus far to take care of the fleet out of
this port fairly well, but other Puget
sound ports have been extremely short
on coal.
1t was estimated by one of the most
important steamship companies on the
coast that there is a shortage of 10000
tons OF coal in the steamship trade OF
Puget sound. These figures simply
cover the fuel that is needed by coal
burning steamers running out of Puget
sound, but they give something of an
idea of the extent of the fuel shortage
in industrial lines

Japanese Almost Rule Hawaii.

San Francisco, Dec. 20.-Frank P.
Sargent, commissioner of immigration,
returned from Honolulu yesterday, ar
irving on the japanese liner Nippon
Maru. Regarding immigration matters
in Hawaii, commissioner Sargent said
that the japanese were fast displacing
all shop keepers, contractors, carpen-
tiers, and tradesmen generally of other
nationalities in the islands. The jap
anese population in the islands is, how
ever, rather on the decrease, on account
OF the rush of the japanese for this
coast. Hundreds of the brown men are
monthly arriving at Honolulu, but
their stay there is brief, the great army
being bound in the direction of the
mainland.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The presi-

enactment Of law authorizing the leas-
ing of public range along the lines he

in the repeal of the timber and stone

Figures seem essential to convey 20
the nonprofessional mind an ADEQUATE
conception Of the stupendous power FOR

trated in twelve battle ships, four ar
mored cruisers, four protected cru.s-
ers, four monitors and a dozen torpedo
boats and torpedo-boat destroyers, b.
sides submarines and auxiliary craft,
says Harper's Weekly. 1t must here
suffice to say that the twelve battle
ships alone which were massed Off Oys-
ter Bay represented a combined dis
placement OF nearly $4,000 tons; the
armored cruisers, almost $1,000 tons
the monitors and protected cruisers,
more than $1,000 tons, and the whole
fighting feet, including the torpedo
boats and submarines, but excluding
auxiliaries, an aggregate displacement
Of upward Of 244,000.

in order to refute some groundless &C
cusations that the cost Of the naval re
view, imposing as the pageant looked
was negligible. The cost was comput
ed by Rear Admiral Evans at $500 nj

ship is in commission, it is just a
cheap for her to be at anchor OF Oyste

Grouth of a Nernda citr

Less than two years ago a prospector
lost his way in the desert near the Cali
fornia line, in Nye County, Nevada,
and died of thirst. On the spot where
that mans body was found is now the
town of Bullfrog. A water works plant
costing $4,000 supplies an abundance
Of water. There are hotels with baths
IN many rooms and residences equip
ped with all the modern paraphernalia
that make for comfort. Electric lights
illumine the streets where only the
stars of heaven looked down on the
death of the lonely miner and within
the radius of a very few miles there
are now about 1900 people.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Senator Pat

the charges by New York newspaper
in relation to a lobby having been sent
to the United States at the last session
of congress to influence senators con-
corning Congo Free State legislation be
investigated by the senate committee

recites that the lobby is alleged to have

hereafter public timber not in forest
