A CATHEDRAL SINKING.
New Foundations Necessary at Win
 chester.

Winchester cathedral is a precious possession. for it enshrines the bones of our Saxon kings. and it's history to within a century or two is an integral part of the history of England. But in selecting the valley of the Itchen as the site for their cathedral the early builders were unwise. The Norman cathedral was built upon a pretty solid foundation, but when extensions were made toward the east the builders got into a peaty bog. But if they could not lay blocks of stone on peat they could pack beechwood logs, filling in the crevices with chalk, and this was the foundation for their superstructure. After eight hundred years in a swamp the trees decayed in places, and drain age of the locality did the rest. The marly bed gave way beneath the pres sure of the building which sank nearly two feet in sort of a curve, throwing the walls out of the perpendicular
 Some twelve moths ago the whole of the eastern end beyond the Norman tower was in daily danger of sudden collapse. Remedial measures were re sorted to not a moment to soon. and now 30,O0O must be buried in the foundations.
 1Ie. llTSL step was lO ulS OuN iilt foundations. and, curiOusly enough, cherry stones and apple pips were un- earthed as well as Roman and other pottery When the peat was removed the water from the gravel beneath rushed in. During part ef the winter masOns worked in a depth of three and four feet of water, while a steam pump drew thousands of gallons an hour from the area of their Iabors. Then two divers were obtained, and in six teen fet of water they have been work ing for some time right beneath the huge foundations of the cathedral. Their duty is to remove the peat which has Imprisoned the water in the gravel for centuries and in it's place to de- pOsit on She gravel bags of Portland cement and grout them in with con crete in order to seal down the water again. In the water the cement will become as stone.
 When the water is sealed the re- mainder will be pumped out and the ordinary masons will be able to go down and build up to the original foundations with concrete blocks and bricks. The beech tree trunks will be removed, and thus for the first time in it's history the cathedral will stand up- on a rock.-The London Sphere.

NEW CROPS FOR THE FARMER.

few years ago American wheat growers did not know that there was in another part of the world an entire ly different species of wheat from the kinds they grow. that different bread was made from it, and that millions of people not only lived on this bread but contented that it was the best bread in the world. And it was Mir. M. A. Carle
 ton, an agricultural explorer of the government. and not the great grain magnates, wno demonstrated to the American public that this foreign wheat will earn for he farmers of the country millions of dollars a year. The wheat was brought in by the govern ment scientists. and distributed throughout the northwest. It yielded last year alone a net income to the farmers who grow it of more than S1,5OO,OOO. It will grow on semiarid land where ordinary wheat is a failure. it will yield four bushels more to the acre. and it is not affected by the di- seases which attacks the ordinary wheats.

BASEBALL IN PORTO RICO.

Travellers returning from Porto Rico report that the islanders have taken up baseball with immense enthusiasm. Be fore the American occupation of the island it is said that the Porto Ricans had almost no athletic sports Now they are baseball mad" and some of them are said to show great pro- ficiency. It has already been noticed at the principal orphan asylum on the island that the physical condition of the boys has shown a marked improve ment and this is largely attributed to ball playing. We may yet have a Porto Rican nine touring the states. as an Australian cricket team has of ten visited England, and once. at least, completely humbled the native born" As an agent of peaceable conquest of union athletic sports are not to be de spised. On the other hand, might we not be quicker to do political justice to the Porto Ricans and grant them cit izenship if they develop a crack ball team?

LIVE OAK MINE.
Possession Given to the Owners and
 Property Bonded Fof $6o0,oo0.

On Wednesday of last week Boone x Strang surrendered their lease on the Live Oak mine and gave possession of the property to the owners, the Live oak Copper Mining company. and we understand that the company has since bonded the property to New York peo- ple for S60O.0OO. who will soon take possession and commence actice devel- opment work.
 The Live Oak mine has gained con siderable local notoriety. owing to its large production of copper and the litigation to dispOssess the lessees. The property is considered to be one of the most valuable copper mines-for the amount of development work done upon it in Globe district. Although it is only opened to a depth of 15O feet the mine has produced upwards of S40OOOO worth of ore. The ore body is 50 feet wide and has averaged about 15 per cent.
 The parties who have bonded the property are said to be mining men of ample means, who will develop and operate it on a large scale and it is expected that it will soon again be- come an important producer of cop per.-Globe Silver Belt.

QUEEN OF JEWISH BLOOD.
Ena's Great Grandfather Said to Have
 Been or Humble Position.

Been of Humble Position.
 The blood of prince and peasant. so it is said. mingles every hundred years. A striking instance in the case of Princess Ena, now wife of Alfonso of Spain. Here is the story:
 First cousin to the emperor of Rus sia, to the German emperor and to the heir to the throne of Great Britain Princess Ena of Battenburg is almost as nearly related to far humber fam fly circle.
 "Toward the beginning of last cen tury a Polish Jew, Hauke by name, en- tered the service of grand duke of Hesse- -Darmstadt. and occupied a very subordinate position at the little court. Ills daughter, Julia Theresa, born in 1925, was, ct the age of 26. married morganaticaIly by Prince Alexander of Hesse, two years her junior.
 'Renouncing the faith of her fathers, she was baptised into the Protestant church. and by the reigning grand duke was accorded the title first of countess of Battenburg and subse- quently of princess.
 "Prince Henry. the third child of this union, became the husband of Prin- cess Beatrice, and. of course, father of Princess Ena, King Alfonso's bride. So little was he considered as belonging to the Inner circle of European royalty that when Queen Victoria conferred upon him the rank of royal highness protests arse on all sides.
 Formal notifications were made by the courts of Berlin, Vienna and St Petersburg to the effect that Queen Victoria's son-in-Iaw, issue of a nor ganatic union. could not be recognized as royal highness elsewhere than on British territory. Twenty years later the daughter of the man on whom this affront is put becomes queen of Spain and treats on a footing of perfect equality all the reigning monarchs of Europe. ."-Le Monde Moderne.

MAN FOR THE AZORES

who is now wealthy resident of San
Francisco, is believed by Col. Sam
Parker to be a man eminently fitted
for the agent Of the Hawaiian Immi-
grafton Board to go to the Azores to
select Portuguese settlers for Hawaii.
Il saw Joe Marsden when I was last
in San Francisco" said the Colonel
last evening, "and Joe said he would
be perfectly willing to undertake the
mission if offered him. Joe has inde-
pendent means and if he could use his
own pocket funds to further the inter-
ests of Hawaii he would do SO.
Joe is intimately acquainted with
every industry in Hawaii, and there is
hardly a question that might be asked
about labor, and the sugar industry III
general, that he could not answer.
Il will suggest his name to Acting
Governor Atkinson
