RATS KILL TWO ALLIeAroRs.
Rodent Host Turns Tables and Attack
and Eat Pair of Big Saurians.

Seattle. Wash.-Big wharf rats at
Point Defiance park, in Tacoma, have

IL. Brown. How the ravenous rodents
ever managed such big contract as
to kill the saurians. their enemies, let

Superintendent Roberts of the Ia

The alligators are kept in a green
house. Several nights ago two sau-
rians pressed open the meshes of the
wire screen that imprisoned them and
started on voyage of discovery
through the greenhouse. Rats in
large numbers abound about the park
buildings. and. it is supposed. soon
discovered the presence of the in

desperate fight for their lives.
Scores of rats were found dead the
next morning lying near the carcasses
of the alligators.

CUSTOM STILL PRAcTICED, BUT
NO PUBLIC AUCTIONS.
Wife Market One of Features of As.
sembIage of Braves Of British
Columbia Now In Course
of Preparation.

Winnipeg. Man.-Mail advices from
Albert Bay, In northern British colum-
bia, say: According to the authorities,
the Indians will not sell girl wives at
the potlach for which they are now
preparing, but it is expected some of
these slave wives will go under the
auctioneer's hammer despite the
vigilance of the officials of the Indian
department, as the wife market is one
of the features of these assemblies.
which Indian braves travel some hun
dreds of miles to attend. Chief George
and number of the wealthy Indians
have been making preparations for
this affair for several weeks past
An idea of the gorgeousness of the
affair may be cleaned from the fact
that only few days ago Chief George
expended $1,000 in biscuits alone with
which to regale his fellow tribesmen
on the opening day. In order to OBJ
tain the necessary amount the chief
was Obliged to buy up every kind of
biscuit to be had in the little trading
stores, taking everything in the way
of biscuits from fancy macaroons to
pilot bread" the latter being pres
ent N large quantities
This Will be the first time on record
when girl wives have not been dis
posed of at auction, and, according to
the redmen, it will detract consider
ably from the interest of the occasion.
In years past number of girls have
been sold at each of these potlaches,
the purchasers being sometimes white
men, but most generally Indian braves
who have coufted the dusky maidens
for some time, and whose advances
have not always been encouraged by
the ladies whom they later acquire at
auction.
The prices of these girls vary con-
siderably, according to their general
age and appearance. ranging from
couple of hundred dollars to anything
over thousand. In years gone by this

who have become quite wealthy by the
disposal of their near relatives, and
one instance is on record where an In
dian disposed of his mother. who
brought the magnificent sum of $50.
The AFFAIR becomes pitiable in the
extreme when a white man becomes
the purchaser of one of these girls,
for she inevitably faces life of shame
whenever her purchaser has become
tired of her and the children born by

tribe to be sold when they come of
age If they are girls, but the boys are
allowed to drift off and make living
as best they can.

Goes Around It, Says Astronomer
Once in z5,726, ,682 Years.

Bethlehem, Pa.-Charles H. Bytel.
an Instructor at Nazareth hall, Naza-
reth, and an astronomer of note, has
come forward with an astronomical
hypothesis that is already attracting
attention of astronomers and observa-
tories in many parts of the world.
Prof Bytels declaration is contrary
TO the long established contention that
the sun is motionleas. He declares he
has established the fact that the sun
has a true orbital motion. He has ar
rived at this conclusion after many
months of hard labor and research,
and combines his deductions under
the caption of Procession of the
Equinoxes"
According to Prof Bytels hypothe-
sis the procession of equinoxes is not
caused by the moon, sun and planets
attraction on the equatorial protuber
ances of the earths surface, but it is
directly due to the Original impulse"
impaired by the suns proper motion.
His achievement lies in the fact
that he has discovered the laws and
rules by which 1t can be proved that
our luminary has a true orbital mo-
tion from east to west of 1379241501
6sS53S76 seconds of arc per day
while our planets revolution round
the sun is from west to east.
The new laws and rules apply to all
the planets and their satellites, and
the theory admits of an exact mathe
matical demonstration. With the aid

A Boston firm of landscape archi-

for making the general plans for the

the great new railroad system which
Is now being built across Canada

ever given for similar undertaking,

The settlement is on Kaien Island and

The area which is available for the
site comprises between seven and
eight square miles. although only a
small part OF this will be developed
within the near future. The island

one-third will be available because of

The railroad will cross from the
mainland to Porpoise Island and then
to Kaien Island by means of bridges.
the first of which will be about quar-
ter of mile in length and the second
some 200 feet long. Already a dock

and 1t is planned to extend this for a
much longer distance. The shores are

1t is said to be the plan to have

the public buildings on the second
level, which is some 200 feet high.

residences still further back on a

Ample provision for parks will be

1t is probable that Digby Island, Just

be developed for residences. a purpose
for which 1t is admirably adapted. The
expenditures which are contemplated
by the railroad company at this place
alone will total many millions If pres
ent plans are carried out.
Prince Rupert is situated within so
miles of the southern extremity Of
Alaska and 551 miles north of Van
