A subterrsnean Refuge From Thunder
in Mansion.
If Mrs. Isaac L. Rice is opposed to
noises, so also is Mr.. Rice, at least
when he is playing chess. In the
house on Riverside drive which he
has just sold there is one noiseproof
room, says the New York Sun.
1t is hewn out of solid rock under
the house and its roof and entrances
are SO arranged that no noise can
reach the occupants. The room was
built to crafty Mr.. Rice's chess habits.
Every week for some time the leading
players of New York meet there.
There is another subterranean room
in a Westchester mansion. The idea
was to create room light and sound
proof to be used as a place of Sc
clusion when lightning flashed and
thunder reared and the elements made
things Unpleasant for people who had
nerves.
It's said that hardly a sound of the
heaviest thunder reaches the ears Of
any occupant: Candles light it.

lustration, a number of Japanese
from Seattle were arrested few
DAYS ago on the fort ground and res
ervations.
Each man had concealed about
him a quantity of loose powder
Upon further investigation it was
found that more Of the explosive was
hidden about their cabins. More
startling, indeed, was the discovery
that in each and every one OF these
5000 homes there was one regula-
ton army rifle and uniform of the
Mikado's army
There are good many reasons for
supposing that the Japanese are an
ticipating war with the United States
sooner or later The most important
one is the hatred the Japanese have
for the Americans because they are
treated as inferior beings. 1t is the
silliest Of silly things to suppose that
this intense hatred does not exlst-lt
is self-evident and needs no proof.
Japan clearly sees future contest
between herself and the United
States for the control of the Pacific
and is preparing for it, despite her
impoverished condition.
She not only purposes to shut the
United States out from trade with
China, but is actually doing SO at the
present time.

Caves Of ia cannibal Race.

Strange. evidence of cannibalism
have been brought to light with the
recent opening up of caves at One
Tree Hill, Maungakiekie, New South
Wales, and another link has been add
ed to the chain of interest enc1rcling
this celebrated spot.
In one. cave great piles of human
bones have been discovered, mixed up
Unfortunately and thrown down in
one huge conical heap. These bones
belonged to victims taken by the
Maoris in battle and slaughtered for
culinary purposes. Then they we're
dropped down the funnelshaped
mouth Of the cave into darkness and

Trapped Partridqes.

While out shooting cartridges with
three guns We were walking small
field of roots. when we flushed a CO
vey of five birds. They rose s1ngly,
and we killed four of them. The fifth
being hard hit, carried on some lit
tie way and dropped in a patch of
bramble, where we afterward found it.
On examination Of the five birds,
two had no feet, only stumps, the two
others had only one leg each, and
the fifth was the only perfect bird
among them. They were all old ones
and the stumps were quite healed,
though rather dubbed at the end.

scoTLAND's BIRTH RATE.

Population Is Decreasing in Both
Town and Country. ..
Scotland's birth rate is decreasing
both in town and country, being by
far the lowest in the rural districts
and the highest in the large town"
districts. The population at the end
of 1905, according to the recently pub
lished report of the register general,
was 4,676,603, an increase of about
100000 since 1901 and of $4,000 since
1891. A century ago Scotland had
l,6O8,42O inhabitants. The increase, in
recent years especially, is due en-
tirely to the rapid growth of the
large city of Glasgow and one or two
other big towns that have ,heen built

PEAL, as about the best joke of the
season. If there is any person in the
United States who ought to hold his
peace about inhammatory speeches,
that man is Senator Tillman, for he
has made it his business for years to
roam around the country delivering
speeches which were direct incent-

One of his most brilliant perform
ances was the speech in which he de-
picted the Senate as minstrel show

Indiana western Mexico is to be the
scene of the greatest mining boom that
has hit this coast since the days of 49,
The railroads Hartman is building will
open up a hitherto unprospected belt
Of what is believed to be exceedingly
rich mineral land.
Prospectors from all over the world
are accompanying the construction
gangs and taking up land along both
sides of the railroad. Professional
boomers from this country are said TO
have grand campaign in process of
preparation and land values are ad-
yancing by leaps and bounds. e. n.
Hartman is said to have had 1000 men
and 5000 mules engaged in the work Of
construction. J. r. Paine is the con-
tractor who is doing the work, and he
expects TO have the line finished and in
operation south of Rio Santiago inside
of nine months. He is working north
from Guadalejara, north and. south
from Mazatlan and south from Qua ymas
1t is expected that the mineral devel-
opment of the country tapped will fur
nish the new line with business from
the start, and the people of western
Mexico believe that the horn of plenty
is about TO be capsized for their benefit.
