approximations Natives Think There is
a God Beneath the Tree.
From the India Daily News.

From he India Daily News.
Is it that a plant is possessed of
some Internal spirit? Baraset subdivi-
sion, three miles distant from Duttt-
puker, on the central district of the
E. B. S. railways, is now being trans
formed into a wierd, and at the same
a touching Gene.
Since a fortnight a date palm, meas
uring about rs feet, is being found to
stand erect in the day time. but, with
the decline of the scorching rays Of the
sun prevalent nowadays, the same
palm almost bends to the ground, so
much so that it's huge mass"of leaves
touches the ground imperceptibly.
This news spread like wildfire
throughout the locality, and the super
stitious people are flocking every day
to witness h scene. What is most
astonishing. is that the earth on which
it grew is neither loose, nor is it
cracked, by the daily and nightly COM
ing down and raising of the palm.
Most Of h ~eyewitnesses, Of which
the writer is excluded, are offering
pujas to the palm, thinking that there
Is a god underneath the tree.

PRESIDENT yEToEs BILL.
Roosevelt Opposes Giving Away
Water Rights Without Paw,

Washington, April 14.-In a spe-
cial message yesterday vetoing a
dam bill, President Roosevelt
warned Congress that there are
pending in this session bills which
propose to give away without price
stream rights capable of developing
100000 horsepower, whose pro-
duction would cost annually 25,000,-
600 tons of coal; urging in vigorous
terms the establishment of a policy
such as the flibustering minority
in the House demands, which would
safeguard the granting of bridge and
dam privileges and require the
grantees to pay for them; and def
nitely announcing future policy on
his part with regard to prompt
of construction privileges
by refusing his signature to a bill
that gives an additional three years
to the Rainy River Improvement
Company within which to build
dam in the Rainy River.
