Pity the Poor Rich Man.

Probably the most complete burg
lar alarm system in the world is in
stalled in John D. RockefeAer's
house at Cleveland. Both the bur-
glar alarm and an intricate signaling
system are tested nightly when the
master is in the house, and If a de-
feet Is found an expert is Immediately
summoned to repair it.
1t is reported, but not confirmed,
that Mr.. Rockefeller sleeps in a room
on the top floor, the only entrance to
which is through several other rooms
in which trusted lieutenants are sta
toned. At night brilliant arc lamps
illuminate the grounds around the
Rockefeller house and at least three
men are always on duty p~atroling the
premises.
Mr.. Rockefeller's fear of assassina-
ton is such that ever in his own
house he will not sit with his back to
a window. When forced to travel he
will never, if it can be avoided, enter
the public waiting room Of a railroad
station, preferring to sit in the bag
gage room or some other secluded
place. 1t was not vanity, it is said,
which prompted him to buy his now
famous wig, but the fact that his
badness made him too easily recog-
nized. The oil magnate has two
trusted bodyguards, one an Irishman
and the other a Swiss. A century or
nor ago Irish and Swiss bodyguards
were the favorites of royalty.-Cleve<

en| National Color.

Why re lid have been selected
As the Netional color becomes intelli
gible when we look at the Cross oil
st. George. Sir Walter Scott, when he
wrote of how their W sea hath
whelmed those red-cross powers" was
merely anticipating the phrase of to
day. But Oliver Cromwell. when for
the first time he put the English sol
der in a red coat, probably did as
much as st. George to monopolize red
as the national color. The aggressive
color has, however, many meanings,
and has lent itself to many uses. In
the days of the Romans, when it f1ared
on the head of a slave. it stood for
freedom; in the days of the French
Revolution it stood for freedom backed
by blows, while in the streets OF the
city to-day the "red" cross stands FOR
succor So far back as the reign OF
Henry II. there was a red" book OF
the Exchecquer, a record of the names
of all who held lands per baroniam,'
and at this moment persons OF conse'
quence in the service of the State find
their names entered in a red" book

NEW SPECIES.
Brown zebras and BIack-Lined Ante
Iopes Seen In Africa.

Intimat!-n concerning two new
species OF animals, indigenous to AT.
RIGA, has been conveyed to Europe by
Mr.. ]. e. Speares, who has been
spending several months In trapping
and hunting big game in Portuguese
ing Lake Nangadi and the Rovuma
River. One of these refers to a new
type of zebra, a whole herd of which
the hunter observed lee by, but a
specimen of which he failed to secure.
Many members Of this herd were
marked differently to the prevailing
type of this animal, the heads and
necks being brown, while the hind
quarters were striped in the conven-
tional manner peculiar to this quad.
ruped. When the natives were ques-
toned upon the point, they ASSERTED
that they were a variety of zebra.
but that they were becoming very
scarce. Although the hunter pursued
the herd for several miles, owing to
their agility and timidity he was I'm
able to approach them closely. Upon
another occasion, however, he was
more fortunate and secured a closer
view Of the animal. It resembles the
zebra in shape, but the head, neck.
fere-legs, and fore half Of the body

legs, being striped. He also discov-
cred a peculiar type Of antelope sim

ence being a black line down the
centre of the back and on either hind
leg down to the foot. When the ami.
NAL Is startled it Immediately takes
to flight, the initial leap being fully
ten feet through the air. This species
Of antelope is essentially %gregarious,
being found in herds ranging from
ten to fifty in number, and is ex'
~ceedingly wild and active. Mr.. Speares
also secured what is believed to be a
new species of buoS, which is per-
feotly ho~rnless, about as large as a

Tale of a Name.

Not long ago, says a member OF

Richard L. Deimandinger, a native OF
Germany, applied to a court in the
State named for permission to change
his name to Richard L. Delmand.
1t so happened that not long there
after a gentleman of the name OF
smith-plain John J.-made like pc
t!tion to the court. After reciting a
catalogue of the ills to which he was
subject owing to his unfortunate com
mon name, Mr.. Smith said, in con-
clusion:
"And whereas / have noted that the
honorable Court has curtailed the
name of Richard L. Delmandinger, and
has not disposed of the niger" which
seems to be lying around looss, l re-
spectfully request that the same may
be added to my name" MI. Smith

Manner Of Extracting II From La

The manner of extracting the salt
from the many sha.cw lagoons along
the s,exican coast is primitive n
simple, says a consular report. AT a
convenient place, generally at high
water mark, the following is con-
structed: On top of four strong posts,
placed upright aud p%rotruding out OF
the ground about six feet, a nat 0 '.
ering is built of poles; on top OF these
about a three-foot thickness OF dry
grass or straw is placed. When com
pleted it is a flat-roofed shed, with
straw covering. This Is to serve as
the filter. Underneath this a receiv'
ing bowl is made Of stone and lime
mortar. At one side of the filter n
bowl the evaporating pans are made
Of lime mortar, being shallow tanks

works. A layer of earth one-fourth
to one-half inch is then scraped daily
from the exposed land, that was o v
cred with water when the lagoon
raj full in the wet season. This
earth is carried in saskets on mems
heads to the top Of the filter and emp
tied on to the straw roof. Water liz
then filtered through the earth and
straw, and falls into the receiving
bowl highly charged with salt. The
liquid is passed to the e~vapcratins
pans, this being done with earther
Jars. The sun evaporates the water
and leaves the pure salt, which is piled
UP in the sun to dry. 1t is then pack.
ed in bags and conveyed by mules
to the market.
The cost of making this salt is about

FOUR DAYS IN
A POKER GAME
Strenuous Contest in a Chicago
HOteI...ThOuSandS of DOL

Chicago, March 27.-A sensational
poker game lasting through four con-
secutive days and nights took place
at the Magnet hotel, recently. More
than 100000 was reported to have
been won and lost.
Big men in politics and gaming
circles were in the play. The end
came before dawn of the fourth day,
not because of police interference but
because the players were utterly ex-
hausted.
Among the. men who were said to
have sat In we're Monte Tennes. the
hand book magnate; ex-Alderman
John A. Rogers. saloon keeper, and
John F. O'Malley. politician and sa-
loon keeper. There was a state, SEN
ator there too, but his name is very
carefully withheld.
1t is said that Monte Tennes was
the chief loser In the big game. His
losses at one stage were reported to
have been $4,000 but when the end
came they had been reduced to $4,000
or less. The unnamed state senator
was credited with $450O winnings.
