Clear as Thick Ink.

On the South Side Is a Chinaman
who has not been In Chicago long
enough to master the English language,
save that he has grasped the meaning
of a few words. The other day he
went into tho store of tradesman, but
was unable to make any one In the
store understand what he wanted.
To the clerks he kept saying "tling,
Ting" After all had given up In des-
pair and when John was about to make
his departure, the proprietor happened
to make his appearance. At once
''tling" to him was string and he pro.
cured a section of rope the size of a
clothesline.
John looked at 1t for a moment took
1t in his yellow fingers and then said
young Ting" Then the merchant
went to cabinet, pulled out a drawer
and came back with spool of thread
The Mongolian's face was at once
wreathed with smiles. He handed over
his nickel and went about his business
with the air Of a man who had accom-
plished a great undertaking.-Chicago

The movement for the protection Of
birds In America has long since as
sumed formidable proportions, says
American Homes and Gardens. Much
Of the credit for the work accomplish
ed il due to the Audubon societies,
which exist in thirty-five States, and
which for a number Of years have car
ried on an active work for the conserv-
Ing Of bird life. The results accom-
plished are considerable. A model
law" drawn up by the American Orni-
biologists union Is now in force in
thirty States and the District of Co
lumbia. The Lacey law excludes from
interstate commerce all birds killed IL
legally In any State, and makes those
legitimately killed subject to the law
Of the State in which they are bought.
Laws prohibiting the sale Of game
out Of season, even when killed In sea-
son, look toward the same end of con-
serving bird life. Public attention has
been aroused on the subject, and even
the manufacturer Of air rifles no long
er calls attention to the fact that they
will kill small game within short dis
tances. Absolute protection has not
yet been given the birds everywhere,
but great and important work has
been well begun and Is being carried
forward.

WHY CANADA REJECTS COIN.

Presence of 100000 Worth
Causes Loss to Dominion.
Our neighbors will soon have return
ed to them the small change that has
drifted out Of their circulation and has
for years been tossing about In ours,
says the Toronto Mail and Empire.
The nickels, the dimes, the 25-cent
pieces, the 50-cent pieces and the dollar
pieces that bear, If not exactly the
image and superscription, at all events
the emblem Of Uncle Sam will vanish
from the pockets and the tIlls to and
from which they used to pass In this
country on equal terms with our own
silver coin. Under an ARRANGEMENT
made by the finance department with
the banks the latter are arresting all
the American silver coins that come
into their hands. At the beginning Of
the present month the plan for the ex-
cluston Of this alien money came into
operation. All Of the American pieces
that reach the banks will be sorted
and shipped to New York, where they
will be received at the agency of the
Bank of Montreal. 1t is not because
they will be specially benefited by the
radiance that the banks are helping the
coin out. Though the amount of this
American metallic money in Canada Is
estimated at $1,0OO,OOO, it does not com
pete to any appreciable extent with
bank currency, which is all In the form
Of notes of no lower denomination
than SIS.
1t Is true If we give facility to the
circulation of American coin we invite
American paper money. Doubtless there
would be less Of the latter here If the
silver Of our neighbors were always
refused in Canada.
1t Is dominion government money,
however, not bank money, that Is dis
placed by American silver passing In
Canada. And with the dominion gov
eminent the loss Is no mere interest
charge. The government loses the diff
ference between the coin value and the
bullion value. The metal in a 5O-cent
piece costs the government about %
cents. The piece of bullion for which
it pays out % cents Is stamped into
coin, which is accepted by the creditors,
suppliers or employees of the govern
nient as payment for 30 cents worth
Of service, material or credit. If the
$1,O0O,OOO Of American silver had not
been in the country $1,OO0,0O0 of Cana.
dian silver would have been required.
To provide this money the government
would have had to spend about $780,
600, but as 1t would have got $1,000, 0O0
for 1t there would have been a profit of
S550,000. This should not be foregone
because Of indulgence toward our neigh.
bors or because we are too careless to
look after our own interests. By keep
Ing its money here we were really con.
tributing more than 100000 to the
revenue Of the United States.

FREIGHT RULES IN GERMANY.

Requirements to he Met by Amerf-
can to Kaiser's Land.
American shippers of goods destined
for transportation over the railroads OF
Germany will save expenditure of mon
ey, annoyance and possible loss Of fu-
ture business by exercising great care
in the preparation Of the shipping docu-
ments covering the goods, stating with
exactitude the net and gross weights
In kilos, and If the contents are intiam-
mable or otherwise dangerous In char
acter their exact nature should be stem
cilled on the case or package, as we'll
as stated in the freight bill, says the
New York Tribune.
Heavy fines are imposed for infringe
ment Of the regulations governing
freight upon the German roads, as en-
bodied In the freight tariff Of April l.,
1905. The shippers Is responsible for
the correctness and completeness Of the
statements found In freight bills and
lncurs all the consequences arising from
lnexact or insufficient declaration.
If, at the shippers request, the
freight bills are filed out by railroad
employees, the responsibility of the ship
per Ia in no wise lessened. If, In car
load shipments, the weight quoted In
the freight bill shows no greater devia-
ton than 2 per cent from that ascer-
tanned from the railway scales, the for
mer Is considered correct. In cases of
an incorrect declaration of the contents
Of a shipment, or Of too low declara-
ton of the weight Of carload, or Of
the overlooking of a car beyond its pre-
scribed capacity, by the shipper or his
agent, in addition to being obliged to
pay the possible freight difference and
compensation for the damage produced.
fines may be imposed and made payable
to the companies concerned In the
transportation Of the goods, the
amounts Of which vary from S2.S5 a
kilo (2.20 pounds) to various minor
penalties.
II fines are not paid by the shipper or
his agent within a specified period, the
goods may be sold at public sale, and
the proceeds derived applied to the pay
ment of the fine. Should they not equal
this amount, the shipper will still be
held accountable for the difference.

MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE CREAM.
OIL Used Instead of the
Ordinary Ingredients.

CottOnseed OIL Used Instead Of the
Ordinary Ingredients.
"When Prof. Stillman Of Stevens in
stltute gave dinner to two friends,
at which most of the visnds were made
artifcially by chemical MEANS" writes
Lawrence Perry in the Technical World
magazine, "he had small idea Of the
furore his efforts would produce. But
he has received hundreds of letters
asking how different dishes were pro-
duced-so many that he has not had
time to answer many Of them.
THE chemical processes which he
employed were some of them simple
and some quite complicated. To make
vanilla Ice cream by artificial MEANS
for instance, the alchemlst took some
triple refined cottonseed oil AMI placed
1t in q centrifugal machine which re-
volved at a velocity of 5000 revolutions
a minute. A beautiful emulsion was
thereby produced, which was then froz-
en-, chemically, of course. The flavor
was obtained by the addition OF vanil-
lin, glucin and nitrobenzol. They say
that ice cream composed as above Is
sold In many Southern States where
cottonseed oil Is more plentiful and
consequently cheaper than milk or
cream. 1t Is far from harmful, tastes
good and does not melt as quickly as
the genuine ice."

''See that old chap" remarked the
clubman, pointing out the window to an
old peddler, who carried basket of shoe

gan to peddle shoe laces. How much do
you think he's worth to-day2 Just make

GREAT TUNNEL PLANNED.
Central Pacific to Pierce the Sierr,
Nevada Mountains.


Nevada Mountains.
THE boring Of what will be the long
est tunnel in the United States, and
one Of the longest In the world, has
very recently been determined upon by
the Central Pacific Railroad Company"
says ]. Mayne Baltimore in the Techni-
cal World Magazine.
Chief Engineer William Hood has
finished plans and reports for the pro-
posed gigantic six-mile hole to, be bored
through the Sierra Nevada Mountains
in California, a short distance west of
the town Of Truckee, Ariz.
The object of this great tunnel Is to
cut down the present mountain climb
Of 7,O17 feet by fully 1000 feet, and
thus eliminate many Of the present
curves and much Of the grade. Chief
Engineer Hoods reports contain some
notifications Of his first series of sur
veys, made some years ago, and these
will doubtless be approved by Presi-
dent Hartman; and work, 1t is expect
ed, will very soon be commenced on this
great tunnel
ut Is estimated that the tunnel will
cost not less than $1O,OOO,OOO and that
among other things it will cheaper the
annual expenses of operating trains
over the mountain division by fully
100000. Being over $4,000 feet in
length, the tunnel will be one Of the
longest In the world and certainly the
longest in the United States. The long
est now In existence on this continent
Is the 10000 foot bore in the Cascade
range in Washington, on the Great
Northern Railroad"

In Philadelphia in 1904 614 divorces
