Lots of Us.

James j. Fill, who has several fine,
long railways in the northwest as well
as the gift of prophecy. thinks that this
modest little country will be called ON
before long to support population OF
4OO, 900, 900 people.
Thanks to our liberal immigration
laws and our strenuous antirace suicide
policy, he sees a prospect of more peo-
pie than the most prosperous country
village ever saw in town on show day.
Four hundred million is good many
more people than man discovers he
has rela tons when he inherits money,
and the way we are fixed now for
house room we do not see where they
are all going to sleep nights.
Perhaps Mr. Hill Is mistaken. In
looking into the future with his long
distance spectacles he may have spied
an automobile procession and counted
several of the people twice.

A QUEER EXCAVATION.
The "Ear of Dfonysius" and It's re-
cUli0r Use.

The "Ear OF Dfonysfus" and It's re-
culinr Use.
The most remarkable artificial cav
ern or excavation ever made was that
which has been recorded in history as
the Ear of Dionysius." This queer
excavation, which was adjoining the
quarries near Syracuse, Sicily, was
constructed by the slaves of the mon
arch by whose name it is known. In
reality it was an exact model of a
gigantic human ear, $50 feet long by
80 high. and was SO scientifically con-
structed that the interior of the grotto
became the finest whispering gallery"
the world has ever known. In Il cave
adjoining this acoustic wonder the
prisoners of the tyrant were kept.
and every word they uttered came
through an orifice to the internal
ear where Dionysius passed whole
days listening to the plots that were
being laid by the enemies of his gov
eminent. The prisoners We're, of
course, chained in that portion of
the underground dungeon most Ia
vorable for reflection of all sounds to
the secret chamber. BY this admira-
BILE system of espionage Dionysius
managed to thwart every conspiracy
against his government which rose
during his thirty nine years reign.
The ear" the prison dungeons and
even the staples of iron in the floors
to which prisoners were chained may
still be seen. 1t is said that the tyrant
put to death the architect of the '.ear"
and the slaves who excavated it in
order that its purpose might never be
known.

The Valuable "My Pretty Jane

The Valuable sMy Pretty Jane"
'My Pretty Jane was one of the
most profitable songs to the publishers
ever written. Some years ago it
brought over $4,000, yet all that Mr.
F'itZball, the writer of the words, and
Sir Henry Bishop, the composer of the
music. jointly received did not exceed
f40. Fitzball. to be sure. declared
that it took him just ten minutes to
write, and Bishop thought so little of
his own setting that he had thrown the
manuscript into the waste paper bas-
ket, from which it was fished out by
the manager of vauxhall Gardens
But. even SO, the composer was surely
entitled to proportionate reward with
the publisher. and it is not consoling to
recall the circumstance that Bishop
died almost pauper.-Chambers

Estates Raced.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 25.-The Yam
burg district has been devastated by
a series of cenfagrations, which are
believed to be the work OF organized
bands of incendiaries. Six private es-
tates have been destroyed and a great
paper factory has been burned down.
Two villages were destroyed. Great
damage was done by Ere in the Okhta
quarter of st. Petersburg The people
of this quarter are mostly working
men. Three persons are known to
have lost their lives IN this fire and
several have been injured. It is be
lieved that there are still many vic
Tins in the ruins and diligent search
for them is progressing.

BLEAK SHETLAND.
Its Swarms of Sea GulIs and It's Lone
Tree.


Tree.
Up a little lane off Lerwick's one
street there is garden. At least it is
an Enclosed space. In the middle Of
this space there Is tree. 1t is not a
very tall tree; you could. in fact, toss
a biscuit over its branches, but still II
IS q tree-the only tree In Shetland
And Shetland is proud Of 1t. Children
who are brought for the first time to
see the wonders of one streeted Ler
wick are shown this tree. This is not
fiction. 1t is the only tree in Shetland.
As there are no trees in Shetland,
there are no birds. except, of course,
the sea gulls, which you can number
by the thousand. The sea gulls are the
sparrows of Lerwick, and, as such.
they have greater share in the town s
life than have the sparrovTs OF London.
In the morning time you will note that
sea gull sits on every chimney pot.
Sea gulls swoop and hover over every
roof in the town.
The air is full of their strange, high,
plaintive, haunting cries. Their sad.
Shr.ll, long drawn cries are to Lerwick
as the chattering of sparrows or the
cawing of rocks are to us in England.
Every house has its own familiar sea
gulls and every street its own band Of
sea gulls. They never mix. The chill
dren in each house have a pet name for
their cwn particular sea gulls, and.
having called them to them by those
names, they feed them every day. And
each sea gull knows what is meant for
him. No sea gull attached to one house
ever seeks to eat the food scattered
from the house next door. He does not
dare; the other gulls would kill him
So all day long the sea gulls hover and
call over the roofs of Lerwick. The
people of the town, IL they come across
a little pile of rice laid upon the road
way. step over it with care. They
know that 1t is placed there for some
sea gull. And at night the sea gulls
leave their own appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away to their
resting places on the rocks of the Isle
OF Noss.-London Express.
