TINY ELEPHANT.

From the New York World.
 sheep larger than an elephant has amused many at Coney Island recently Frank c. Bostocks baby elephant, for which he claims the honor of being the smallest in the world, trots about now tethered to what MT. Bostock asserts Is the largest sheep in the world It eer- tainly is a tall sheep, taller than the elephant by about two inches but 1t has reached the maximum of Its growth, while the baby elephant gets taller day by day, and before many weeks have passed 1t will be bigger than the sheep, which has now reached it's full growth and proportions
 These two makes the oddest-looking pair imaginable, for they are about as different in appearance as could well be. In disposition, however, they are pretty well matched, for both are of mild man. ner, polite, quiet and obedient They get along well together, too, and are get ting quite fond of each other. Both are devoted to their keeper and follow him like well trained dogs wherever he goes. They are. however, singularly indifferent to the presence of other human beings.

Iron and Steel.

From all domestic markets come re- ports of high activity in sales of pig from says writer in the New York Sun. Prices are strong, and the trend of business foreshadows firmer prices for several grades of metal. Three import ant furnace agents have notified their salesmen that the strong tide of buying during the past few days has absorbed all the foundry iron of several grades that furnaces can put forth for sixty to hun dred days. Among the larger pig iron melters in the eastern and western states requirements have been closed till the end of the year. From northern, southern and western furnaces deliveries are breaking all records.
 '"The president of one of the largest iron producing interests in the south in- forms The Sun that a tour which he has just completed of the furnaces of Ala bama and Virginia has afforded evidence that stocks are smaller than ever before and that demands are certain to be well ahead of production in basic, gray forge and foundry No during the autumn. At northern and western furnaces stocks are inconsderable and are vanishing like snow under a strong sunlight. Latest sales of large tonnages are on the basis of $1375 for southern foundry No. ? at Birming ham; Bcssemer s17.75. and basic. s17.5o. valley furnaces. For northern foundry No. x at this port prices are strong at S19.50.
 Tn the steel trades there Is renewed activity in railroad material and in heavy machinery for the metal working and mining interests. In the latter field bus mess in the export line is remarkably good, except for account Of South Africa. In fact a number of machinery makers whose books bear unified orders for the gold and diamond fields of South Africa have received word to hold certain orders or dispose of the machinery to others, as the outlook for mining in that region is gloomy In locomotives a number of important contracts have been closed within the week for export and home trade. In standard rails local offices have booked something above 35,0O0 tons since the opening of the week. The chief ex- ecutive officer of large combination of rail mills gives 1t as his opinion that this years business in steel rails for all domestic makers will aggregate not less than siOO.OO0,0OO.

MT. Root at Rio.

The United States is big and strong, while the other American states are at any rate weak. and many of them are small Mir. Roots chief mission at the Pan-American congress was to remove the fear that the weak always have of the strong We wish," he told the delegates mo victories but those of peace, no territory except ohr own. and no sovereignty except soyer- eighty over ourselves, which we deem independence. And then he went on in simple, straightforward terms to tell what we do want We wsh," he added, to increase our prosperity, ex- pand our trade. and grow in wealth and wisdom, but our conception of the true way to accomplish this is not to pull down others and profit by their ruin, but to help all our friends to common prosperity and growth, that we may all become great CT and stronger together"
 All accounts received from the con- gress agree in saying that Secretary Roots speech was warmly received, and that it's effects will be beneficial. Many things had conspired to create a different impression-the canal strip and Panama, the Santo Domingo bus. mess, the extension of the Monroe doc Urine to cover the collection of debts. even the Mexican war, and it is for tunate that MT. Root had an opportu- nity to set things right at Rio. His defnitive announcement will long stand as the line this country will hew to, and it Is believed the republics to the south of us will find it all the as- surances they can reasonably ask for. MT Root spoke wisely and we'll.

ALAsAMA,s GREATNESS.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
 Alabama is to become the Pennsyl- vania of the south.n said MT. Charles F, scoheld of Bridgeport at the Raleigh last evening as he talked entertainingly about the industrial development of his home state A native of New York. MT Scoheld has spent the last twenty years in Ala bama, and has carefully watched it's progress since the development of its mineral resources has put it in the front rank of manufacturing states.
 "The northern portion of our state is especially blessed,e continued MT. Sco- field. Through the efforts of Mir Rich ardson, Congress at the last session passed legislation that will enable the people to utilize the enormous water power of Muscle Shoals on the Tennes- see river At shelmound we will have 100000 horsepower, and in and around my own town of Bridgeport 56,00O horse power. Active construction has been conn menced on the latter project, and the pos session of such an immense power for manufacturing purposes is bound to boom the community. We have our coal and iron in the mountains around us, so that, with the possession of raw materials im- mediately al hand. eliminating expensive freight charges, and with power amply sufficient to operate factories and mills without number. the future for this en- tire northern section of the state is ex- ceedingly bright.
 Those who know nothing of cotton productlon,' he said. naturally suppose that that staple could be grown only in the lowlands. We prove the contrary to be true around Bridgeport On the top of the mountains we have broad plateau as level as the cotton plantations fur ther south. Upon this plateau we have been growing the finest grade of cotton for some years. It Is much more hardy plant than other cotton. it's fiber longer and the price It brings better than the lowland product. Why should not the peo- pie of northern Alabama look to the industrial future with confidence?
 But 1t Is not only in industrial matters that Alabama and other favored south ern states have shown such marked changes" MT. Scoheld said. Political changes gradually are making themselves manifest. Protection for the manufac- lures of the state made Pennsylvania with its wonderful deposits of raw ma terial. a solidly republican stronghold The policy of protection is growing in Alabama for what protection did for Pennsylvania it will surely do for Ala bama. There would be realignment of parties in our state today if the negro were eliminated from the equation, and if the republicans ceased to devote their energies to their scramble for offices and applied themselves to building up a strong party inspired by high ideals. When that day comes. democrats who can see nothing now but an organization per petuated for the sole purpose of personal advancement. will affiliate themselves with the party and destroy what has been known as the solid south. The opportunity is ripe for B political realignment of the voters of the south if the managing lead CTS of the republican party were onlJ sufficiently wise to grasp it'

House Numbers.

Birmingham is up to date in most things said a man last night, ''but the people have been strangely remiss in one particular; that is in the matter of post ing their house numbers conspieuously. There are few homes with numbers that can be seen from the street at night. The proper place for them Is on the glass above the front door, so that after dark they will be shown In plain repief by the light within.
 "As it is here, in nine out of ten cases the numbers are on the door facing, and the only way they can be diseerned at all is by going up on the porch. And then. while you are fumbling around for a match, you are liable 10 be mistaken for a burglar. It is, a pretty hopeless under taking for a stranger to start out and find the place he wants. After he final ly arrives in the neighborhood by counting the avenues he has crossed the chances are he has to wake up two or three of the neighbors before he can find where the right number is'

No Outstanding Judqments.

At a recent meeting of the board of aldermen the finance committee re- ported that all outstanding judgments against the city had been settled. This announcement created no surprise. It was accepted as mere routine affair by most readers, when in fact 1t was almost epochal in it's nature.
 This city has been turning down Judgments as freely as mere bills from time almost out of mind-for period of twenty years at least. But today every judgment against the city Is settled, and Mayor Ward has no in- yious custom. All judgments are paid, and they will continue to be paid while George B. Ward stays in the mayors chair.
 This is no small matter, although sait is but one of several steps that have 7'been and will be taken to render this city thoroughly solvent and forehand- ed All these steps point to loans at lower rates of interest as the funded debt expires, and lower interest rates mean lighter burdens of taxation. It pays, in other words, to be prompt in meeting all just demands, and this rule fits cities as we'll as it does in- dlviduals.

and fluffy growths of hair. some pos sibly of the store kind, there Is not much occasion for talking against hats. The latter, however, can be removed, but the hair can not be. The only remedy in sight consists in appeals for the minimizing of the hirsute growth on nights when the stage is full of in. terest. Let the head of hair on such nights be limited to two cubic feet whereas on other nights five cubic feet would be permissible.

Retirement Ace.

The recent request of London in ager at the age of 59 has re-opened a question that has not been settled, and because of the varied makeup of men, may never be definitely determined. For some men get tired earlier in life than other men, and some should have been retired even before they took hold of task at all. Some are fit, and some unfit. Some are young and alert at eighty, while others are stupid at forty.
 No two stomachs are, say the doc tors, alike and this rule may safely be applied to the rest of the anatomy. No two heads are equally active, no two will powers equally strong. h. stead of an Osler rule drawing the line of productivity. if not of activity, at a certain age for all, there ever has been and ever must be a rule that  permits each individual to be meas ured on his merits in his own shoes. The Osler rule may fit some, but there are so many exceptions it is practi- cally valueless.
 Alexander and Napoleon conducted great campaigns when they were young men, but Von Moltke was past the scriptural three score and ten when he crushed France, and so was Oyama when he made Russia crave peace. Like contradictions appear in poetry, in art, in scientific pursuits, in short, in all the walks of life. This is why Oslerism Is absurd Men are not constituted alike. What is one mans limit of activity may be but the beginning of another mans productive period, and each tub must hereafter, as heretofore, stand on it's own bot tom.

INLAND LAKE RESULTS
 FROM CARELESS WORK

of supplying it's necessities. Four miles below the original intake. in Mexican ter ritory, 1t scooped out a cross ditch con- meeting the river directly at this second point with the canal. Once again no head gates were put in--no mechanical devices for controlling the flow of the water were provided.
 It was this emergency work, originally a shallow and narrow trench, that event. ually proved to be the first tiny breach in natures own system of protecting levees. For through this aperture, secured deep and wide by a succession of floods. the entire waters of the Colorado river, instead of passing gently south to the Gulf of California, are now rushing down impetuously and uncontrollaby into the Salton Sink. The Imperial canal is now the Colorado river restored to it's ancient bed, the Alamo water course.
 The winter of 19O4-5. after a long series of years of comparative drouth. proved to be a season of abnormal rainfall all over the southwest. The steady rise of the waters in the Salton Sea, disregarded un- til the railway began to be driven from its roadbed, drew attention to the full seriousness of what was happening. All through the fall months of 1905 desperate and continuous efforts were put forth to turn back the Colorado into its old chan nel Attempts were made to dam the emergency cross ditch by double rows of piles, with brushwood mats weighted by sand bags dropped between them. But, after the relentless river had two or three times preached this feeble barrier during It's construction. finally a mighty flood on November 30, the second highest ever recorded on the Colorado river. and once again caused by abnormal rains In Arizona, turned the whole plan into ridi- cule. The effect was not so much to break down the dam as to cut everything away around it; for there are no rocks to serve as foundations and abutmenisl in this land of silt, which, in renewed contact with water, at once becomes quicksand. so that a strong current speed fly sweeps around both ends of any ob- struction.

Theatre Hats.

Tn this country the question of hats or no hats has been considered fully settled, and feminine playgoers read fly, if not willingly, acquiesce in custom that gives all patrons an even chance to see what is going on behind the footlights. But in Paris, 1t seems, the question Is still an open one, for the matter was recently submitted to a referendum in twelve of the leading theatres of that city. All patrons were permitted to yote-one seat one vote, x No hats" boiled 5S,3l9 votes; small hats, 51,767, and big hats, 1856. This popular vote was not so one sided as had been expected Those who voted in favor of small hats knew full well that gradual encroachment would soon lead to the wearing of large hats and the victory of the women would then be complete.

Countryman Talks of Liquor.

Liquor may be a bad thing and it mayn't" said sage from the coantry last night, but anyhow three fingers un- der your vest stiffens a mans back bone powerfully. Many a time I've felt as Timber as dish rag and when l had taken a drink felt like billed shirt Its bet ter n starch to a shirt. because it's water proof. It don't mix It's to man what oats is to a horse. It percolates to his joints and makes him prance. And again it makes him run away, but he don't 'allus' have to kick over the dash board. It makes a man that can carry 1t right just bow his neck and step high, like a blue ribbon colt that wants to break loose in the 'pastur and cavort. For those that feel like that its a stimilatin tonic. But for those that get mulish, it ought never to be drank'

PLANTED BY NOTED MEN.
!, New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 On the estate of F. c. Benedict at Greenwich, Conn, Is one grove in par ticular that illustrates how much senti- ment there may be after all in hard headed man of business. Each tree in 1t has been planted by some distinguished man who is a friend of the h<iker and who planted the tree while on a visit to the Benedict home.
 Of course Grover Cleveland has planted one, and there are others by equally fa- nous men, including Joseph Jefferson. the dead comedian, and Thomas Bailey Aid rich, the poet and novelist. On each of the trees is affixed bronze plate eiv- ing the name of the man who planted It and the date of the ceremony.

An AII-S0uthern Team.

Not long ago an all-southern ball team was selected from the Southern league, but it was team which did not include a man from southern soil. The southern players are increasing in numbers, and from the Southern league can be drawn today a team of southern players who could hold their own against all corners. Hickman would pitch and Hurlburt catch. The infield would consist of Bush as short stop, Fox as first baseman, Noblett as second baseman and Syd Smith as third baseman. In the outfield there would be Carlos Smith, pr. Wiseman and Aperious, Montgomery boy.
 This team would be an allsouthern team in every sense of the word. Ey- cry member of it would be from the soil of the southland, and it would bat, field and run bases equally we'll. There are some experts who consider Hick- man, a Birmingham boy, the best pitcher in the Southern league today. The entire team would be strong. The time is fast coming when the south will do it's share of professional ball playing. All trades and professions are included in the scope of southern ambition and the vacant corner lots in the south are engaged at present in turning out husky young ball play CTS.
