POLITE JAPANESE CHILDREN.


Japan is the country in which the

ness begin to be formed with the first
training of the child. Albert Tracy, in

of what he observed in the most obscure
parts Of the country. Among the many
things which he found to praise none
is more pleasing than the fine courtesy

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
RETURNS TO WASHINGTON

Oyster Bay, Oct. president
Roosevelt returned to Oyster Bay on
the Mayflower at 1890 a. m. yester-
day. He had been away for 4S hours
an had witnessed the target practice
of the North Atlantic fleet off Cape
Cod.
It is understood that the Cub ban sit.
uation Influenced the president to
hasten his return. Assistant Secre-
tary Latta went at once to Sycamore
Hill with the lengthy cables from Ha-
vana. He remained with the presi.
dent throughout the day and in the
evening announced that the president
had no statement to make ON the sit
uation, and that nothing in the dis
patches received could be made public.
The work at the ''summer capitol
came to an end last night. The exc
cutive staff, with Office paraphernalia,
goes to Washington today with the
president. Two cars have been loaded
with the presidents horses and such
household effects as are needed in
Washington and Will reach the capital
today.
The usual leave-taking ceremonies
at Oyster Bay are to be omitted this
year. The president has met his
neighbors on several occasions during
the summer, and it was his wish that
no special notice be taken of his de-
parture.

HILL TO ENTER CALIFORNIA
San Francisco Call Declares He VIII
Build to Golden Gate.


San Francisco, Oct. 1.-The Call
prints the following:
"James J. Hill has stolen q march
on E. 81. Hartman and Is getting
ready to build into California. Not
only has the Great Northern magnate
completed survey of proposed new
line from Boise to San Francisco, but
he has secured quietly valuable point
on the bay shore for railroad termin-
ais and is figuring on the cost OF con-
struction work. with the avowed pur-
pose of having San Francisco bay on
his own railroad inside the next six
years.
ssIt became known yesterday that
Hill, through representatives sent here
several months before the earthquake.
tied up the Bay Farm island property
in Alameda county, which will be
filled in and extended for q terminal
property, and he is also engaged in
planning ferry system across the bay.
ssHill is coming to San Francisco BY
way of the Pitt river, which affords
him the only means OF entering the
state and crossing the Sierra Nevadas
on an easy grade. His surveys from
Boise carry his proposed new route

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Of 6. 7. P. TERMINUS

Seattle, Oct. 3.-Prince Rupert, on
Kaienisland, British Columbia, and
not Port Simpson, will be the terminus
of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway.
This new transcontinental road
through Canada, which must be COM
pleted before 1911 in order to keep its
pledges to the government, will be an
active competitor for business from
American Pacific coast territory, either
by arrangement with lines already in
existence or by constructing it's own
branches into Washington. It is not
at all improbable that the road will
have its own tracks to Seattle and 9TH
or American cities, though this ques-
ton has not yet been taken up by the
officials.
The foregoing announcements we're
made here last night by President
Charles NJ. Hays, of the Grand Trunk
Pacific, who was here yesterday with
a party Of prominent railroad men
from the East.
The party has just been making q
trip to Prince Rupert. Mr.. Hays said
that the advertisement of Port Simp-
son as the terminus of the road was
wholly unauthorized and that at the
proper time and after due notice the
townsite at Prince Rupert will be put
on the market by the Grand Trunk
Pacific through its townsite company.
Any other terminal sale might be de-
nominated 'sfake."

REPORT OF PROGRESS ON
milwaukee EXTENSION

Milwaukee, Oct. AT q meeting
of the directors of the Milwaukee road
the work now being pushed on the Pa
cif1c extension was discussed. Every
effort is being made to complete the
tracks to the points where tunnel work
will be necessary in the mountains of
Montana and Washington before the
storms of winter render surface work
impracticable, or at least greatly him
der it. Several hundred miles of new
track has beel constructed on this ex-
tension during the year, the work pro-
crossing during the summer at the rate
of from five to eight miles day.
According to present indications,
the road will be completed within two
and half years. The extension, it is
believed, will be largely instrumental
in developing the country through
which it passes, and fully 100, 600 peo-
pie are expected to settle along the
new route during the first few months
following it's completion.
The cost of the observation-disclosures
at $75, 900, OOO-is partly provided for
in an issue of $25, O0O,0OO OF COM
mon stock authorized three years ago,
the majority Of which has been issued.
Another issue of stock will probably
be authorized, when needed, to COM
plete the extension.
The rumor that the Hartman inter-
ests had obtained control of the road
and that E. 81. Hartman would be
elected as director was efectually
disposed of. The old officers were re-
elected.

Can't. Mccoy, Gov. Taft's aide de

Ignoring President Palma's message
N congress on Friday, in which he
wrongly interpreted the mission of the
American mediators, Gov. Taft spoke
kindly to Senior Palma, to whom he
said the people Of Cuba owed an un-
ouestiona Die debt of gratitude.
President Palma's brief reply was
devoted entirely to an oppression of
relief for the opportunity of shifting
the burden of guiding the tempest
nous republic to the representative of
a nation strong enough to enforce con-
troll over it. The fact that the govern
ment had changed hands, from posi-
ton of absolute independence to the
restraint of temporary protectorate,
was received by the masses with utter
Indifference.
Most of the thoughtful Cubans,
while they feel certain senistiveness
over the loss Of the islands sovereign
ty, are inclined to hope that the Uni
ted States protectorate will be brief.

Minneapolis, Got. S.-Positive an

Ex- Congressman Jefferson N. Leavy,

Pacific pool, said to q group of news

"You can state definitely that the

recent statement in New York to the
effect that for every mile of road Mr..
Hill builds in Canada the Canadian
Pacific will build two In the United
States.
An extension of the 500 Line to the
Coast would give this city it's fifth con-
tinental route to Seattle. This Is the
plan Of the Canadian Pacific directors,
although an extension of one of the
North Dakota lines between the Great
Northern and the international boun-
Diary has been suggested as fine route,
with rich and undeveloped territory
from which to build up traffic.
Much speculation has been aroused

stock as to what the real plan for the
500 transcontinental will be.
''No doubt the Canadian Pacific
would like to have the 500 Line ex-
tended through to Seattle" said a
closely interested capitalist. II don't
know Of anything that is in better con-
dition to build transcontinental line
than the O. p. r. However, do. not
think the extension will be built to

THINK PLANTS HAVE EYES.

scientists Thus Explain Why They
Seek to Avoid the Suns Glare.
Plants are by no means SO stupid or
80 helpless as they commonly get cred
it for being. No matter how a beech
happens to be placed in the ground,
the root will turn down and the stem
grow mp into the air and there manage
somehow or other to find It's way to
the nearest support.
Especially remarkable Is the beha-
vior Of vegetables toward light House.
plants, as every one knows. grow in
the direction Of the window, but IL the
pot be turned halfway round the leaves
will nevertheless manage to screw
themselves back into their old posi-
ton, and the sunflower will rubber
round" all day long so as to stare at
the sun. In temperate countries leaves
grow at right angles to the rays Of
light to get as much of it as possible;
in the tropics they set themselves
edgewise to get as little -
Evidently, then, plants come at least
as near seeing as do some animals.
Pretty much all that has been known
about the matter, however, is that they
attend only to the blue rays Of the
sun; for though they will grow per-
fectly well in red or yellow light they
show not the slightest inclination to
turn toward it.
A German botanist, Haberlandt who
for many years has been studying these
problems, has concluded that the whole
upper surface Of each leaf is a sort Of
compound eye. The thin, translucent
skin which in most plants covers the
green, succulent tissue OF the leaf is
itself, In certain cases, composed Of
innumerable rounded cells. These
thinks Professer Haberlandt, are 80
many minute lenses which concentrate
the light upon the living substance be-
low and enable the plant to distinguish
between light and darkness, or be-
tween weak light and strong, though
not, Of course, to see objects. Such
primitive lenses he finds In the fig,
ivy, magnolia, wood-sorrel and other
plants. Certain plants, like the pepper
and the balsam, have in addition little
eye spots which In structure approach
the eyes of many of the simplest ami
mails and appear, in sense, to be real
eyes.
at any rate, plants do act as II they
could see and Professor Haberlandt has
found that each Of these supposed sense
organs can be made to print bright
