Are Carelessly Cruel.

The Bands Of Mercy are to educate
the child to realization that their dog
or their cat or the horse could feel and
suffer- He spoke Of the Band Of
Mercy column which will be feature
in T he ourna every day, and said
umn, with all the children in the CITY
who are members of the Jim Key Bands
of Mercy.
Mr.. Rogers thanked the mayor, the
Humane society, DR.. G. M. Jordan, the
press and the police for all the courte-
sizes and kindness shown his horse and
himself while in the city. Miss Frances
Vincent sang pretty ballad and re-
sponded to an encore. Jim will remain
in the city until Wednesday, resting
until his appearance in st. Paul the lat
ter part Of the week.

GRAND JURY FOR BILLINGS.

Special to The Journal,
Billings, Mont, April For the
first time in eleven years, Billings is
directed tie clerk to draw a panel.
This action is a result Of the agitation
carried on by the Citizens league,
which has been considering campaign
against gambling.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-04-08
Rogers Is Satisfied.

Mr.. Rogers, the owner Of the horse,
told how much the Humane societies Of
the country had ameliorated the suffer
-ings of animals, greatly lessened the
cruelties and educated humanity to q
deeper sympathy and consideration for
animals.
He related some incidents Of awful
cruelties that come under the. societies
notice, and he believed the wide edu-
cation in humane work every society is
carrying on would some day bear such
fruit that cruelty to animals would be
almost unknown.
Mr.. Rogers told Of the Bands Of
| Mercy that are organized in every city
Jim Key visits and urged the children
Of Minneapolis to become a part; Of
these Bands Of Mercy, which now have
membership of 100000.
He highly commended T he Jour
n a rs plan of offering prizes amount
ing to $50 to the children for stories
on kindness to animals, believing it
would prove great stimulus to the
children to become more thoughtful
and kind. A child s cruelty to animals,
he said is usually the result Of ignor-
ance and not because the child is cruel
at heart.

JIM KEY Gives HIS
FAREWELL RECITAL
CROWD OF GRoWN-UPs SEE AND
ADMIRE.
Famous Horse Makes Fourth Appear
ance for the Day and Goes Thru Elk
acting Program Without Hitch
Owner Commends journal for stimu-
lating Interest in Work Of Humanity.

Beautiful Jim Key made his fare
well appearance in Minneapolis last
evening before an audience made up
largely of grown ups, whom the
children had crowded out at previous
performances.
Just before going out on the stage.
Jim acknowledged he was a trihe tired,
having had four performances during
the day, but he went thru all his won
derful acts without mistake ana thrO
all showed almost human intelligence.
There was wonderment and surprise on
every face as jim answered questions,
solved the various sums, played post
master, spelled names and made change.
cit is almost uncanny,o one man
was heard to remark, but DR.. Key
stoutly maintains it is all only the re-
suit of kindness and patience, and
patience, and patience an untold
amount of the latter quality.
The spelling contest created consid-
cradle merriment, and Jim carried off
the honors last evening, proudly de-
posting the ST. prize in his trunk. How
ever, the boys need not feel SO badly,
for it was safe to- say there were many
of their elders who would also have
failed on such words as Nebuchad-
nezzar' and 9 Mordecai,o the test
words given. jim evidently knows the
value Of money for he refuses to give
up the money he takes from the cash
register until he is given lump Of
sugar. S.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-04-08
Everything Is Different.

It was different set Of letters, DIFF
ferent sums and different questions TO
answer, but Jim was equal to them all,
and bowed gracefully when he accom-
plished some unusually clever act.
Jim has captured the city the week
he has been here, and mystifed every
one who has seen him. He evidently
enjoys the applause and the petting he
receives, but his real affection is for his
old master and trainer. DR.. Key. It is
to him that he first looks for appro-
baton
Jim g influence for good in Minneap-
oils, especially among the children, can
hardly be estimated, and it will re-
main for years to come lesson to chill
dren in love and kindness to animals.
jim. wore around his neck the beauti-
full gold medal presented to him by the
Minneapolis Humane society for the
great work he has done for its benefit,
enlarging its power to help relieve the
sufferings Of his fellow creatures and
relieve some Of the misery among the
helpless animals.
Mr.. Roberts, president Of the HUI.
name society, spoke briefly Of the good
work the society is aiming to accom-
.plish, and THANKED the public for its
loyal support. s

KOREA "UNpER THE YOKE 8
Assumption Of the Reins OF Govern
ment by the Victorious
japanese.

Nations are like variable stars.
While some are waxing into brilliancy
or flashing into sudden prominence,
Others are waning and burning out, says
Youths Companion. Norway becomes
a separate entity, with its own king and
its separate government; Finland re-
gains it's lost liberties; and at the same
time the gorgeous and profigate empire
OF Korea passes under the yoke, ," as the
Romans used to say. The establishment
Of a Japanese protectorate over Korea
was not unexpected. For two years the
fact has existed, although the fiction
of independence, like beautiful veil,
was thrown over it by the polite JAP
anese. Those who are most familiar
with conditions in the peninsula are OF
the opinion that the open announcement
was Japan's only course. All attempts
Of the mikado's government and OF his
agents to establish necessary reforms
have been met by verbal acquiescence
but actual opposition. The last resort
was the removal of what has been called
the most corrupt bureaucracy in the
world, and the open assumption OF the
reins Of government by the japanese.
St. Tammany farmer., 1906-06-09
IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some Of the most beautiful sights
are found in the seattle coral reefs
and the sunken gardens, filled with
strange marine plants. Some marine
animals live only in the purest wa
ter. others only in the foulest water:
for every condition there Is life to
flt 1t.
In all ocean basins, hills and ridges
as well as troughs and deep holes, oc-
cur, and the bottom is covered with
the skeletons of marine animals,
changed by time into slime and stone.
Some Of the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need OF them;
others have a hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet deep. It's aver
age depth is over $4,000 feet. Twice
every "a hours the water rises and
falls. At the entrance to the Bay
of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no
less than 20 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide is tremendous
enc.
And the plant life In the ocean IL
almost as remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study

This instrument is of very su-
perior type, and gives an accurate rec
ord of the movement Of the earth at
the pendulum In the horizontal plane.
The mechanical principles involved
in the construction of se1smOgraph
of this type were first developed and
applied to the measurement of earth
uuakes in the latter part of 1880 by
James A. Ewing, then professor of me-
chanical engineering at the University
of Toxic, but now professor OF mechan-
ism and applied mechanics at the Uni
versity of Cambridge, England. Nu-
merous notifications have since been
incorporated in the instrument by
Gray, Omori and others, and in its
present form it is. well adapted to
measure and record all kinds Of earth
quakes, except, perhaps, the most de-
structive, and Is especially suited to
register the feeble, unfelt earthquakes
which frequently occur in all parts OF
the world.

room of the weather bureau is in
