necessary to fine a few of the little
rascals who have been doing their
''stunts" there lately in order to
teach them not to play there. Some
of them will fall and be killed or be
seriously injured presently ifthey are
allowed to go on and then it will be a
question if the city cannot be held
responsible and made to pay damages.

NATIVES TERRIFIED
Aleutian Island Volcano Covers Town.
With Ashes.

Seattle, Sept. 11.-Inhabitants of the
Aleutian Islands, Alaska, were thrown
into a frenzy of excitement September
1 by volcanic eruptions, terrific elec-
trio storms and seismic disturbances.
So frightened were the natives that
they were unable to tell which volcano
near Dutch Harbor was in eruption.
Word of the eruption was brought by
the steamship Victoria, which reached
port Monday.
When ashes and dust fell upon the
inhabitants of Dutch Harbor, both In
dams and whites fed in terror. The
first intimation of an eruption came
on the afternoon of September 1.
There was slight quivering of the
earth, accompanied by deep rumblings.
A black pail approached rapidly from
the south. Soon dust began to fall
upon the houses and by o'clock the
city was in darkness.
The United States revenue cutter
Rush, lying close to Mt. Makushin, was
flooded with ashes, and 1t became
necessary to. turn on electric lights.
Those aboard the revenue cutter
were almost suffocated by sulphurous
fumes. The inhabitants of villages
around Dutch Harbor were preparing
to desert their homes when the ashes
ceased falling.

GOVERNMENT BLAMED
FOR signing TREATY

Washington, D. c., Sept. 12.-Under
the impression that Sir Robert Bond
had secured about everything of i'm
portance that he wished included in
the modus vivendi relative to the New
foundland fisheries, the state depart
ment officials were surprised to read
a report that the premier has de-
nounced the imperial government for
concluding the arrangement which was
absolutely necessary to prevent SER
ious friction between the two great
nations.
The statement is made that with
the single exception of asserting the
rights of American vessels to ship
NewfOundlanders as fishermen, the
American government has, for the
sake of peace, surrendered all of the
extreme points claimed by it. And
this right of shipping fishermen is to
be exercised in a manner least likely
to offend Newfoundland's pride, for
the men are to be taken aboard off
shore and not within the territorial
waters of the colony, although the
Americans have always insisted that
they had the right under the treaty
to take the men off the docks if they
cared to ship there.
If the Newfoundland premier carries
out his announced purpose of execut-
ing colonial laws even where they con-
f1ict with the American treaty rights,
it will be the duty of the British gov
eminent to deal with the case, and
no concern of the state department.

MAY DROP inquiry
As To Hill ROADS

Washington, Sept. ~12.-Upon the re-
assembling of the interstate commerce
commission in October, consideration
will be given to the order of the COM
mission made several months ago pro-
viding for an inquiry into the opera
lions of the roads controlled by James
J. Hill.
Indications point to the abandon
ment of the inquiry in the case of the
Hill roads, and formal notice to this
effect doubtless will be given by the
commission when it meets
Determination to probe the methods
of the Hill roads was reached at the
time of the issuance of the order in
yestigating the Hartman lines. Then
it was planned to look into operations
of all the big roads. In view of the
result of the investigation of the Har-
riman lines, the conclusion has been
reached that no good purpose would
be served by an inquiry into the Hill
roads.
Argument is made that the Harri-
man inquiry has resulted in the cor
rection of many abuses found, al
though no prosecution followed, and
that some good influence has extended
to the Hill roads and other lines. Ac-
cordingly it is semi-offcially stated
that the intention to investigate the
Hill roads will be abandoned.

FACTORIES for picking cucumbers are

down by spraying The striped cucum-
Der beetle, which can not be destroyed

Is formidable enemy where it makes
Its appearance. The long green varie-
ties OF cucumbers are used. Plenty of
manure should be applied. A fertilizer
consisting Of one part nitrogen. one
part phosphoric acid and two parts of
potash is about the proper formula for
cucumbers. Cucumbers are sailed with
two quarts of salt per bushel Of cucum-
bers, packed closely in tierces or bar
rels, and enough brine added to cover
them. The brine should be added daily,
as evaporation lowers the water in
the vessel and exposes the cucumbers,
which may damage them. Growers can
cooperate, form joint stock company,
and sell the pickles on the market,
thus securing the largest profit posi-

The origin Of the pearl In the she'll

OF the subject may be noted those Of
N. Seurat, recorded In the Complies
Rendus" This naturalist finds that In
pearl oysters from the Gambia lagoons
In the South Pacific the pearls are due
to small worms sort Of tapeworm.
In cysts on the body and mantle Of the
oyster he has found true pearls sur
rounding nucleus which he has shown
to be one Of these wormA
Like other tapewormA this one con-

Quires second host in which to COM
plete its development. And NJ. Seurat
considers that the ray is the second
host In this case For he has found In
the spiral intestine Of this fsh small
tapeworms which he regards az the
adult form of the larval worm of the
pearl oyster. The author has named
this new species of tapeworm tyloce-
phalum margaritiferae.
The view has been held that the
pearl Is secretion formed, as it were,
in self-defense for the surrounding and
isolation of an injurious foreign body.
II M. Seurat's views are correct, how
ever. the pearl would rather appear to
be a protection to the worm and to
bear to 1t somewhat the same relation
"a the oak-gall does to the gall-ny.
When the epicurean ray swallows
its oysters the pearls will be dissolved
in It's digestive juices-as Cleopatra's
pearl was dissolved in vinegar-and

worm In its new host NJ. Seuratt notes
the curious fact that the fish seems to
prefer those pearl oysters in which the
shell has been riddled by a species OF
boring sponge. It does not appear to

whether or not these oysters with tho
perforated shells are the most prolific

Is there progress in poultry keeping?
Read the market reports. Look at the
amount Of poultry advertising done to-
day as compared with five years ago.
How did the winter prices of eggs in
the last five years of the nineteenth
century compare with those of the first
five years Of this? Thousands of peo-
pie are to-day making comfortable
living and many have become indie
pendent by raising poultry and eggs for
the market. 1t has been proven by ex-

to produce pound of pork or beef, yet
poultry is always worth more per

,igbts of the Japanese, but they do
not fail to perceive at once the i'm
aortant hearing that this incident will
probahlv have upon the negotiations

Toranese ambassador, looking to the
drafting of a treaty that shall limit

doalt with in the present loose fashion
bv what amounts to semi-official I'M
dortakings on the part of the Japan
ago government to withhold passports
to coolies coming directly to the
United States.
Cannot Discriminate
The belief that a treaty is now
within sight is based on the convic-
tion of officials that the Japanese gov
eminent will now be brought face to
face with the fact that as it cannot
discriminate between Great Britain
and America in the matter of demands
for fair treatment for its subjects, and
mist by this time be convinced that
the problem presented is really a rad
icaI one, the only solution will lie in
the formal recognition by Japan of
the right to restrict coolie immigra-
ton, not only in America, but in Brit
ish Columbia, Australia and the other
British colonies To take any other
view, it is pointed out here, would be
breach of the alliance with England,
of which the Japanese have been SO
proud and which they regard as SO
necessary to the development of their
ambitious schemes for the exploitation
of the East.
Though the British government may
and doubtless will apologize for the
Vancouver affair and even pay an in
demnity, repetition of the incident
is believed to be almost certain, un.
less the British government yields to
the demands of the British Columbians
in the matter of restricting japanese
immigration. AS matter of fact, ne.
gOtiations are already on foot between
the British and the Japanese govern.
ments to regulate the influx of cOolie
labor into the British colonies.
The Vancouver incident will hasten
these negotiations to a conclusion, and
If Japan enters into treaty relations
of that kind with Great Britain it
cannot refuse to do so with America,
so that there is, after all, prospect
that Secretary Root and Ambassador
Aoh will soon again be in conference
on this subject.
