BRIrA1S,s WELCOME TO OUR FLEET.

BRITAIN'S WELCOME TO OUR FLEET.
The British invitation to our fleet on its
voyage around the world to make use Of Brit
sh coaling stations and to visit British
home port given and has been acknowl-
edged in manner creditable TO both nations.
1t should not be invidiOus to add that they are
the two nations which for the last century have
been most distinguished for successful maritime
exploits and which to-day possess the greatest
naval power. The first stopping place Of our
fleet on its outward cruise was in British
waters, and there will he no sighting of other
friendly powers if it makes its last stop at
some British port.
Invitation and acceptance are indeed, nat
urally suggested by the number and .distribu-
tion of British ports all around the world. We
have our own stopping places, two or three in
number, on the route across the Pacific. But
the ports of New Zealand and Australia are
close at hand, and after leaving Manila the most
available stopping places all the way to the At
lantic those under the Union Jack. Singh
pore. Colombo and Alden are the places at which
stops would naturally be made If necessary and
ut SueZ and Port Said the fleet will be prac-
tcally in British waters Also in traversing
the Mediterranean and passing thence into the
Atlantic, Malta and Gibraltar form almost es-
sential parts OF the itinerary.

for the King Of Kings as he calls him
self. Rather than have any hard feel
ings over so small a matter he told
them to go ahead with their parliament
and if they got any fun out Of 1t, he
would be satisfied. But when 1t comes
to heaving explosives at him as he
passes along the street, he draws the
line. He doesn't see any joke in a dis
gruntled subject hurting bomb at him
and it didn't take long for him to say
so.
He was driving through the streets
Of Teheran. Ahead Of him was his au-
tomobile, which, for some reason or
other, he was not occupying, perhaps
being for the moment tired of his new
plaything. Suddenly from across the
street some ungrateful fellow hurled a
bomb at the automobile. The machine
was torn into klndling wood but even
the chauffeur was not injured. Nobody
could tell just who slung the deadly
missile, so in the hope Of hitting the
right man the Shah ordered his body
guard to fire. The result was that
two of his personal attendants, his
royal executioner and two innocent
citizens were killed while a policeman,
a grocer, an officer Of gendarmes and
two private soldiers were badly in
jured.
The Shah was pretty mad. He turn
ed on his heel and walked home, refus-
ing to ride in spite Of the entreaties
Of his frightened escort. The next day
his majesty came down town and with
a stick he beat the governor Of the
town soundly. Then he called the chief
of police before him and told him If he
permitted any more such nonsense as
bomb hurting he would have him blown
from the mouth Of cannon. Since
then corner loafers with bundles under
their arms have been invited to move
on without any hesitation.
Mohammed Ali Mira isn't the kind
of man the anarchists can scare. They
may succeed in killing him, but they
cannot brighten him. He Is 36 years
old, powerful OF build, widely Travelled,
a firm believer in his divine right to
rule and has occupied the throne but
little more than year.
Persia has a population Of about o.
$1,000, Of whom 100000 are members

of the country is desert. The army
has a nominal strength of 100000, but

Mason Mitchell Sends Specimens to

Mason Mitchell, actor, rough rider
and friend of President Roosevelt has

York Herald.
Those who doubt that there are TAX
ms, gorals, sorrows and blue bears will
absolve Mr.. Mitchell from even sus-
picion Of nature taking by going to the
American Museum Of Natural History
and looking at the skins, skulls and
horns which have just been received
from Mr.. Mitchell. AS a consul in the
Chinese city of Chungking he was not
far from the Tibetan border.
Mr.. Mitchell accompanied his gifts
with scientific data and is sending pho
tographs showing what the animals
looked like in life.
Takins resemble antelopes, but are

ties. The serow is rare. 1t is some
thing like goat. The skins Of the I'll
betan blue bear and clouded leopard
sent by Mr.. Mitchell are excellent spe-
cimens.
The consul also killed several birds
above the clouds, and he writes from
Tachinglu that when he gets q chance
to consult natural history he will try
to identify them. If they are slightly
known to naturalists he will add them
to the collections in the museum.
Mr.. Mitchell has also given to the
museum scrolls once owned by band
Of Tibetan priests, who lost them in
fighting punitive expedition sent
against them by the French. The
scrolls are covered with allegorical fig
ures and are written in Sanscrit. They
are apparently centuries old.
Many lands have known Mason
Mitchell since he left his native town.
Onondaga, N. Y. He was a scout in
the Riel rebellion in Canada, where he
obtained a liking for military life.
Later he brought natives from Samoa
to the Chicago Worlds Fair and took
them back in a 2O0-ton schooner. His
offices were also called into play by
the San Francisco fair, for which he
brought many natives Of the Fiji ISL
ands. He enlisted with the rough rid
ers and was wounded at San Imam
hill. On his return from the Spanish
American war he stumped the State
when Mr.. Roosevelt was candidate for
Governor. He also was an actor. plav-
wright and lecturer. Before he went

American Temperament and Art.

The majority of the men and women
who gave American life its form and
direction were not the children of an
artistic race, though they were the
heirs of a great literature. They de-
scended from people who have never
pursued art as an end and whose first
instructive expression in meeting great
experiences has never been artistic
but who have never divorced action
from vision nor failed in the long run
to match power in action with some
kind of beauty in speech. From it's
English ancestry the country has In
herited an 1ngrained and ineffaceable
idealism of nature, which enormous
tasks and hitherto incredible prosper
ity have at times smothered and blight
ed. but never destroyed. From other
races have come richer temperament
quicker sensibilities, craving for joy
and love of beauty for It's own sake,
which have already immensely enrich
ed American art and are subsoiling
American life.-Hamilton Mabie in At
lantic.
