London's Water Supply.

Londons original water supply
was the River Thames and every APP
prentice was supplied with a water
tankard for transporting the liquid
to the house. AS early as 1879 there
were water thieves" for in this
yere a wex chandler in Fleet street
had bi craft pierced a pipe of the
condit withynne the ground, and so
conveied the water into his selar;
wherefor he was jugid to ride
through the citee with a condit upon
his hedde" The first official water
supply for London was made in Ger
many. In 1882 Peter Maurice, Ger
man, made an engine at London
bridge by which water was conveyed
In lead pipes TO the citizens houses,
and he and his descendants became
rich on the proceeds.

China's Yellow River.

Thousands of men work all their
lives at securing the banks of the
great Yellow river in China. Yet
every now and then the tide sweeps
away all opposition and the loss in
human life is greater than any war
ever caused. Nineteen years ago the
river burst its bonds. Day after day
the torrent flowed, twenty miles to
the hour, thirty miles wide and ten
feet deep. The flood has been de-
scribed as that of five Danubes pour
Ing from height for two months on
end. For 1000 years the Chinese
have been embanking this river.

flesh dates back to 1870, from which
time it has been increasing steadily.
In Liege many colts are slaughtered
for sale. as well as young horses.
The animal undergoes the same rigid
inspection given to beef, mutton or
pork. The number of horses and
colts slaughtered for Liege in 1904
was 1887, and 1t is estimated at
1000 head for 1905. The choice cuts
of horse meat sell for about 90 cents

Rcautiful Animal Skins.

Lovers of fine animal skins would
have been interested in the collec-
ton recently mounted at the work
shop of New York taXidermist.
They were all native animals, some
half dozen in number. and repre-
sented the fruits of hunting eXpe-
dition of President Roosevelt in the
Rocky mountains. He had sent them
on to be mounted for use in the
White House. One of his injunctions
to the taxidermist was to mount the
heads fiat, as he declared that he
had too many stumbling blocks" in
the way of mounted heads.

A life convict in the Andamans

Professor Munot of Paris has re-

Fish Catching by Beehives.

The idea of catching fish by means
of a beehive with a hole in the top
of it is a strange enough one. Yet
this, says the Country Gentleman,
not inadequately describes the meth
cd employed by fishermen in the
Philippine Islands, who clap their
apparatus down over the sluggish
bottom-feeding fish and then, put
ting their hands through the hole in
the top, extract their victims.

Fishing by Bow and Arrow.

In the South seas and in various
groups of islands in the Indian ocean
the aborigines shoot fish with the
bow and arrow. The art is extreme
ly difficult, as in taking aim at an OBJ

low for refraction. If he were to aim
directly at the fish as he sees it, he
would, Of course, miss. Long prac
tice has, however, made the natives

Novel Use for Potatoes.

Many persons will be surprised to
learn that the potato is used in
France in the manufacture of imita-
ton meerschaum pipes and marble"
billiard balls. After the potatoes are
peeled they are kept for SO hours In
an s percent. solution of sulphuric
acid. They are then dried and press
ed hard enough for use in making
pipes. Under strong pressure they
become solid enough to be turned
into billiard balls.

WILLIAM HOLT
IS NOT GUILTY
MIX-UP OF WITNESS MARKS
BRINGS PROSECUTION TO A
SPEEDY COLLAPSE,

William Holt, charged with stealing
two cows valued at 500 from the Dow
sett Company, was acquitted yesterday
afternoon by the jury which had been
trying the case for the past three days,
the verdict being directed by Judge
Lindsay after the evidence was all in
There was practically no convicting
evidence offered, the Territory hav-
ing fallen down" on the testimony Of
one witness on whom it had relied.
John Marks, IL the witness in ques-
ton, and as a result of his testimony
before the court, he is now under in
dictment for perjury, because he told
a very different story before the grand
jury when called into the case several
weeks ago. Then he said that he,
while employed by Holt as a cowboy,
had killed the cattle in question, and
had cut the Dowsett brand from the
flank Of each hide by Hollis direction.
On the stand as a witness he said that
the cattle killed were branded with the
brand of George Holt, and that to keep
peace in the family he had cut out the
brands. The reason that he had told
the other story to the Grand Jury, was
that he had been driven to it under
all sorts of threats from the police de-
partment, in case he refused to convict
Holt, and he had done this after being
"sweated" in Jail for four days, and
not allowed to see anyone except the
police.
There promises to be some interest
ing developments when Marks is

Eben Low, who has been making ar

rived home today on the Manchuria.
Nearly all the arrangements have been
completed for the coming of num-

and Charley Frazier who has had the
matter in hand mas received very en-

the show a success
Angus McPhee, the champion roper

three weeks before the date of the

few others will come with him. Purdy
who is at present on Hawaii, will be
on hand and will do his best to take
the honors away from McPhee. Purdy
who won nearly every event at the last
meet held here, is getting into shape

BERLIN PLANNING
FOR VISIT Of TAFT
ANXIOUS TO SEE SECRETARY OF
WAR WHO HAS NO MILITARY
TRAINING.

BERLIN, October 12.-Not only the
American colony here but all Berlin
are looking forward to the visit of Sec
rotary Taft, who has announced that
he will arrive in this city about No
vember Both.
The American Chamber Of Commerce
is busy preparing the arrangements
for the great banquet in the Secre-
tary's honor, and every seat in the
banquet hall has already been disposed
of.
Germans are interested in Secretary
Taft, first because they are anxious to
see a man who is Secretary of War
without possessing any military train
ing or knowledge of military matters,
and second because the papers here
designate him as the man most likely
to succeed President Roosevelt It is
also hoped that he will succeed in ar
ranging the preliminaries of a perma-
nent commercial treaty between Amer
lea and Germany.

TO WORK FOR
PEARL HARBOR
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. DE-
C1DES THAT A REPRESENTA-
TIVE SHOULD BE SENT.

A special meeting of the trustees OF
the Chamber of Commerce was held
yesterday afternoon in the rooms of
the Chamber to decide on the advis-
9hility of sending a special represen-
tative to Washington this year to help
secure the appropriation for the work
at Pearl Harbor Every trustee pre-
sent was in favor of it, and a special
committee was appointed consisting Of
Messrs Paxton, McStocker and Wode-
house to secure the services of a re-
preventative business man who under
stands the situation to go to Washing
ton.
The trustees to a man decided that
something should be done at once, and
President Morgan was authorized to
select the committee to pick out the
man. One Of the trustees pointed out
the Bremerton Navy yard as an object
lesson to prove, what good could be ac-
cOmplish if an up-to-date navy yard
was established at Pearl Harbor. The
fact that the Big Four had spent about
100000 here was also spoken of to
show what it would mean to the bust
ness people here if Pearl Harbor was
made a naval station, and the
was also made that a number of men
of war would come here continually.

brought to trial on the perjury charge.
He is ignorant, and does not appear to
be very bright, as would be indicated
by his discriminating testimony against
himself while a witness in the Holt
trial. A great deal of comment has
been rife about the judiciary building
over the statements brought out by
Alex Robertson's cross examination OF
Marks, which would tend to put the
police department in a very unenvi-
able light. The general belief is ex-
pressed that Marks told the truth
about the pressure applied to him by
the police while he was held for four
days without legal authority so to do,
whichever one of his statements re-
garding the ownership of the cattle is
correct
There has also been some commGRt
over the zeal shown by the prosecu-
ton in having the cowboy held for
perjury. Notwithstanding the fact
that Marks is himself under a separ-
ate Indictment for cattle stealing, and
was being held under bond, the grand
jury was summoned for yesterday
morning at the usual considerable ex-
pense, when the matter could have
equally as well have been taken up
next week wnen the grand jury assem-
bles as it will do to continue its gen.
eral investigations. There could have
been no reason to think that the man
would escape because he was already
being held.
