The National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress will convene III the
city of Washington on Wednesday
December 4th, of the current year,
and will CONTINUE its sessions on
the succeeding Thursday and Fri
day. The Congress will be the sec
ond to convene after its reorganiza-
ton more than a year ago. Its first
session was most encouraging in
the fact that It's fundamental prin-
ciple of a fixed and settled policy
of annual appropriations for the
improvement of the Rivers and
Harbors of the United States, with
out regard to section but wholly
with regard to merit, commended
itself to the commercial and man
ufacturing interests of the country
and to men distinguished in public
life, but there is every reason to
believe that its coming session will
be far more encouraging.
The attention of the country has
been directed to the absolute neces-
sity for the Improvement OF inland
waterways and harbors in a man
ner so forceful and so direct that
the interest cannot be abated. 1t
was an interest dormant for years,
save in particular sections of the
United States, and whether it has
been aroused to the plane of a de-
mand that will not be satisfied with
less than full compliance by the
energy of local improvement asso-
Citations, Ior by the admitted in
ability of the railways to carry the
freight offerings of the country IS
not the material question. The real
question is in the universal conces-
sion, in all sections, that the trade
and commerce of the United States
cannot be adequately served with
out the improvement of the Rivers
and Harbors on a systematic plan
of continued work with adequate
appropriations made annually.
That is the policy and embraces
the aims of the Congress. In its
sessions and its deliberations no
section of the country should be
without representation. Ali are
alike interested III its work, and to
no more important subject could
the commercial, manufacturing and
agricultural interests of the coun-
try be directed than to the coming
session of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress and to ade quate
representation in its deliberations.

Death of S. ]. Lancaster.

S. ]. Lancaster, claim agent Of
the St. Louis, Brownsville & Mex.
leo Railroad, died at the Spohr
Hospital in Corpus Christi Satur-
day.
Mr.. Lancaster was well known
in every section of the southern
Texas country. For a number OF
years he practised law in Beeville,
and about two years ago he became
connected with the Gulf Coast
Road as claim agent. Three weeks
ago he was in Brownsville attend
ing the session of the County
Court, and at that time he seemed
to be a very sick man. About two
weeks ago he was taken suddenly
i'll at Refugio and was removed to
Corpus Christi for treatment.
Soon after he was placed on the
train at Refugio he became I'M
conscious and remained in a crit
ical condition until his death.
Mrs. Lancaster has been with
him since his serious illness de-
veloped and Saturday she accom-
panied her husbands body to

The MIGHTY Caesar.

1t was on his way to the battle
field Of Pharsala that Caesar uttered
the famous saying to the fishermen.
He had come down to Brindisi to
cross to Dyrrachium and, finding no
galley, commanded the owner of a
small sailing boat to put him across
the Adriatic. On the voyage a vio-
lent storm occurred, and even the
experienced mariners were terri
fed, but the great captain said:
'EHave no fear! You carry Caesar

mails. The rabbit and the rat Sc
cure a current of air by forming a
bolt hole in connection with their
system of passages, but the fox, the
badger and many of the field yoles
and mice seem Indifferent to any
such precaution. There is no doubt
that whatever gave the first impulse
to burrow, many animals look upon
this to us most unpleasant exertiOn
as form of actual amusement. 1t
also confers a right of property. s.
Prairie dogs constantly set to
work to dig holes merely for the
love of the thing. If they cannot
have a suitable place to exercise
their talent in they will gnaw into
boxes or chests of drawers and there
burrow to the great detriment of
the clothes therein contained. In
an irclosed prairie dog "town" they
have been known to mine until the
superintendent earth collapsed and
buried the greater number. A
young prairie dog let loose in a
small, gravel foored house instant
ly dug a hole large enough tn sit
in, turned around in it and bit the
first person who attempted to touch
him Property gave him courage,
for before he had been as meek as a
mouse.
1t is noticeable that the two
weakest and least numerous of our
mice, the dormouse and the harvest
mouse, do not burrow, but MAKE
nests, and that these do not multi
ply or maintain their numbers, like
the burrowing mice and voleS. But
the fact that there are members of
very closely allied species, some of
which do burrow, while others do
not, seems to indicate that the habit
is an acquired one.
In this connection it is worth
noting that many animals which do
not burrow at other times form bur
rows in which to conceal and pro-
tect their young, OF, if they do bur
row, make a different kind of a
more elaborate character. Among
these nursery burrows are those of
the dog, the fox and sandmartin,
the kingfsher and the sheldrake.
Foxhound filters never do so well
as when the mother is allowed to
make a burrow on the sunny side of
straw stack. In time she will
work this five OF SIX feet into the
stack and keep the puppies at the
far end, while she lies in the en-
trance. Vixens either dig or appro-
pirate clean burrow for their cubs,
which is natural habit, or, at any
rate, one acquired previously to the
use of earth by adult foxes.-Lon-
don Spectator

is little bow made OF two shelI-Hke
