Boards Transport, Which Will

Port au Prince, Haiti. Vainiy
seeking protection from physical in
jury and insult at the hands of an
armed mob of men and women by
having his aged shoulders covered
with French flag, President Nord
Alexis abandoned his palace and the
Presidency of Haiti. He is safe now
on board the French training ship
Duguay Trouin.
General Legitime has beef. pro-
claimed head of the provisional gov
eminent and the coup d'etat of the
reVolutionists is complete, They are
in complete control of Port-au-Prince.
An insurgent army of 5000 is march
ing up the peninsula.
Nord Alexis passed from the palace
to the wharf through streets we'll
nigh packed by enraged Haitians.
They heaped curses on the head of
the President.
At the landing woman fought
her way to his side and aimed a blow
at his heart with knife. 1t fell
short, and before she could renew her
attack she was seized by soldier.
A man struck Alexis a glancing
blow on the neck.
Alexis turned to M. Carteron, the
French Minister, who was his escort,
and exclaimed mournfully:
II told you it would be SO, Your
Excellency."
The French officials participated
actively in the scene to the exclusion
of the American. In fact, one of the
revolutionary leaders charged that
the American Minister, H. w. Fur
Miss, was the chief of those encour-
aging Nord Alexis to resist.
The flags of various nations are
flying over the doors and from the
windows of the homes of foreign resi-
dents.
Notwithstanding their hostility to
the fallen President, the Haitians are
in dread of the landing of forces from
the warships. They especially fear
the men from the United States cruis-
ers Tacoma and Des Moines, whose
reputation for putting down riot and
disorder has gone before.
Infantry and cavalry are patrolling
the streets, and although there is a
panicky feeling, it is believed there
is little danger to foreigners. If there
is bloodshed at all 1t will be among
the various factions striving for SUI
premacy.
General Antoine Simon is the ac-
knowledged leader of the insurgent
forces.

The eruption appears two or three

They burst soon after their appear

and then disappear speedily, leaving
deeply Redeemed areas of erosions,
which are very painful. They may
become normally covered again, or
may be converted into ulcers AT this
stage saliva forms in large quantities
and hangs in strings from the mouth.
In eight or fourteen days the disease
may have entirely disappeared.
From the eruptions on the feet or
hoofs there is a viscid emulation,
and the animal is subjected to so
much pain that frequently it moves
about on its knees. This is especially
true of sheep. The sores on the udder
of the cow become exceedingly pain
full, and after little she ceases to
give milk The effect of the disease
on any animal is to cause 1t to be-
come extremely emaciated, and even

NAMES LOG HARVEST is ON.
10000 Men i'm Camp Along the Penob
SCoG---MarE<ing of Logs.

The days work concludes with a
big supper, for which the men have
ravenous appetites, and then follows
a smoke talk, when some of the men
play cards, some sing rollicking songs
of the woods and the drive, others
discuss the latest prize fight and q
few mend their torn clothing. The
majority are so tired that they roll
into their hunks as soon as supper is
over and drop to sleep when they
have smoked their pipes out
1t is at the landings that the most
interesting operation of logging is
performed-the marking of the logs.
The great sticks are here branded
with various symbols to denote own
ership, just as in the case of cattle.
The marks must be indelible or
they would be worn off by the bump
ing and grinding of the logs against
the rocks and shoals on the long drive
to the booms, and in all the ninety
years of numbering on the Penobscot
no one has ever been able to devise a
better method of marking than with
sharp axe in the hands Of skilled
woodsman.
The marker is deft and rather ar
tfstic, and makes very few slips or err
rors There is a head marker and
several assistants, and they stand
upon the great log piles, swinging
their axes with confidence and precis-
ion, as proud of their skill as any
chiseler of marble.
The marks cut upon the logs are Of
wonderful variety. There can be no
two alike and each must be distinctly
cut, else there would be confusion at
the sorting booms and loud COM
plant, if not lawsuits, among the
owners.
To the common eye log marks
mean no more than the hieroglyphics
on the Central Park obelisk, but to
the markers they are as plain as A,
| B, G. There are crosses, girdles,
stars, daggers, crowfeet, fishes, va
rious letters and combinations of let
| tiers, links, notches-a long and COM
plicated list, and for every new log
owner a new aud distinctive mark
must be invented.

Bangor, Me.-Maine's annual log
harvest is now in progress, and an
army of $4,000 or 10000 men are
engaged in telling spruce, pine, hem
lock and cedar for the supply of the
saw mills and the pulp mills in 1909.
In the olden time the lumbermen
used to wait for the snow to cover
the ground before attempting to haul
any logs, but now the crews are sent
in months before snow falls, and mill
ions of feet of logs are yarded on bare
ground. About the middle of Janu-
ary yarding is supposed to be finished
and hauling begin.
On the PenobScot alone this winter
about 5000 men and 1900 horses are
employed. Years ago there was al
ways good supply of regular woods
men, but latterly the natives have
been seeking other employment. The
young men of this day do not care to
go into logging camps, with all sorts
of associates, to eat beans and swing
axes all winter for $25 to $50 a
month. Therefore great difficulty is
often experienced in getting crews.
A woods crew is composed of sew
eral classes of workers. There are
choppers, who fell trees; swampers,
who make the roads, clear away the
small growth and trim the fallen
trees; teamsters, who drive the log
sleds; sled tenders, who load the
sleds; markers, who cut with axes va
rious distinctive symbols upon the
logs; cooks, who are the chefs of the
camps, and cookies, who do the soul
lery work and wait upon the men,
The uaons vary from SIX IN $40 a
month with board, and the season is
usually from four to ave months.
The camps are scattered over vast
stretch of territory, extending for 200
miles or more along the Penobscot
and it's branches, away back to the
Quebec boundary line. Woods work
is laborious and monotonous, begin.
ming with daylight and lasting until
dark, with three halts for hearty
meals, consisting for the most part Of
baked beans, although in some camps
nowadays considerable variety Of
food is provided.

NATURE OF THE "Foor AND MOUTH" D
Agree Symptoms, But Don't Know
Cause Of the EpizootiC.
Veterinarians

Philadelphia.-Dr. Leonard Pear
son, State Veterinarian, and other
veterinarians here are agreed upon
the main characteristics of the mall
ady known as "foot and mouth dis
ease" In Europe it is also called
murrain, and the principal scientific
names for it are eczema, epizootica
and apthous fever. 1t is highly in
fictitious, and it's identity is deter
mined by the eruption of vesicles or
blisters in the mouth, around the
coronet or top of the foot or hoof, in
the cleft between it's parts, and (of
the COW or she goat) on the udder.
1t is most common in cattle and
swine. The human species is also
susceptible to it, but rarely to SER
ious degree.
The specific cause of apthous fever
has not been clearly demonstrated.
The virus Is contained in the erup-
lions. Authorities say that the cause
is presumably germ. If that is the
case, the germ is so small that 1t will
pass through Berkefeld water filter.
The infection may be indirect,
through the stables, the straw, hay
or other objects with which diseased
animals have come in contact. The
virus may be carried by an animal
several months after it has had the
disease and has recovered from It,
The period between the moment of
infection and that when the eruption
appears is from twenty-four to sew
enty-two hours. The symptoms vary
greatly in different epizootics, being
sometimes mild and at other times
severe The first evidence of its pres
ence is a rise of temperature, which
in cattle rarely goes beyond 104 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The mucous men,
brane of the mouth becomes red
dened, the appetite Is diminished and
the rumination or chewing of the
cud ceases
