LITERARY NOTE.

There is promise of real excitement in a book by Lieut-Col I. H. Pattcr- son. an English sportsman. to be pub lished this fiH under the title "Thc Man-E3ters pc Tsavo and other Ad- ventures in British East Africa" Some years ago Col. Patterson was sent out by the British foreign office to take charge of the construction of a rail
 way from the east coast Q: Africa into the interior. and there he met with most ot the thrilling adventures of which Ec writes. The most remark able story he has to tell is of a pair of man-eating lions which appeared in the vicinity of the construction camp and began killing and carving off the na- tivcs and imported Indian workmcn until the entire camp with its thous- ands of men was tcrroriZed. This state of affairs actually continued for nine months. and the camp finally became so demoralized that all work was stopped until the lions could be kuled by Col. Patterson. The animals had killed twenty-eight Indian cooiies, "in addition to scores of unfortunate Afri- can natives of whom no official record vas kept" II k safe to say that this is the most remarkable lion story on record and is it may be taken as a ample of the adventures which Col. Patterson relates his book should ap- peal strongly to sDortSmen.

An important part of the duty of the li- brarian is to study the reports coming in and to report any methods of trans acting municipal business which he deems of interest to the finance com mittee of the council and the commis- sion on charter revision.

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT HELPS
 THE TIMBER GROWERS.

At Warsaw. Russia. there has been formed an official information bureau concerning timberlands. The bureau gathers Information as to where and what forests are for sale in Poland, the of these forests. their dis tluccs from navigable stream or rail- road station. the quality of the timber, etc. Al this information is given out free. Thc aim of the bureau is to as ,ist thc land owners and the lumber men in dispensing with the services of private agents in obtaining such in formation.
 Though Russia has the largest for est area of any natiOn-morc than 500 million acres-stUmpagc prices in Po- land are almost as high as those in Germany. Poland exports a great deal of timber, and the importers of Polish timber are, of course, constantly inter ested in both quantity and quality of the supply and in the location of the timber tracts. Manufacturers of wood working machinery. also. are keenly alive to every opportunity to market their wares.

BRICK PAVEMENT AS 4 PRO-
 MOTES OF THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

That brick pavements promote the growth of the smaller cities by improv- ing the appearance and usefulness of the streets and melting the property owners to improve the appearance of their houses. etc, lawns and walks and thus making them more attractive k the claim of an article in Municipal Engineering Magazine about the pave ments oc Paris. IT.
 Paris is one of the richest agricUl- turaI regions in the countT-- and it's interests are almost entirely agricul- tural. The appeal which its character and conditions makes to the retiring farmers and to those moving in the city to educate their children is strong and what the city spends in municipal improvements is conceded b. all it's public spirited citizens to be money well invested.
 During the past seven years this lit tie city of about $500 people has spent from $l5,00O to SiS.O00 a year for new brick streets. with a total of S1S9.53i, and this year will spend about $7O.000l more. These payemepts cost an aver age of S1.15 q square yard including all items of construction or trifie over, SSN.NNN Q mile. T HIS lS ctauiNdtti4t lp S5.S0 a foot of length of a street % feet wide which is the average width in. Paris.
 Municipal Engineering says that an inspection of the brick streets of Paris made for that magazine shows that they are uniformly of the highest grade and can well be studied by other cities as examples of the excellent results obtained by using the best methods of construction. There is no visible req son why they should not retain their present condition for generations even if there is d material increase in travel over them. on streets with light travel ;hc wear is inappreciable and there is no appreciable deterioration from oth CT causes. This Dermanencc is one of the strong arguments in favor of brick pavements particularly in small cities
 The same article gives the detail of the method of construction and of se- lccting materials which has given Paris [ such excellent streets.

TWO JAP VESSELS SEIZED.
Fishing Schooners Captured Off Seal
Island for Poaching.

Washington, July 19.-The state
department has been informed that
the revenue cutter Manning, on the
fifth instant, seized two Japanese fish
ing schooners, the Nitto Maru and
the Kaimo, near the Boats landing
within about mile of the Seal Island
of St. Paul Both of the vessels were
fully equipped for sealing and there
We're evidences that they had been
playing their craft in the shape of
fresh sealskins in the small boats.
The seized vessels were taken to
Ounalaska and left in charge of the
United States marshal. The crews
were taken aboard the Manning and
conveyed to Ungi in charge of a
United States marshal, where they
will be tried before United States
commissioner on the charge of violat-
ing the sealing regulations.
The Japanese embassy has been no
tilted by the state department but as
the case appears to be an ordinar
one of poaching it is not expected
that any diplomats incident will re-
suit
