with which these motions are made

flags are given bright colors mainly
that they may be distinguished against

be distinguished by the person to

MOTHERS FOND OF OFFSPRING
Every Animal Gives Proof Of a Won.
derful and 5esutIfuf Love for
fi' Her Vounu.

We have all seen instances of the
affection and care which most animals
give to their helpless or nearly help

tens. and when she leaves them for
few minutes. to stretch her limbs
and seek some refreshment for her
self, the least squeak of one OF her
children will bring her back to its
side.
The hen struts about the farm
yard surrounded by her chicks. and at
the least appearance OF danger the
brood runs for shelter under her
wings.
When the lamb In the field strays
from its mothers side she is soon
alarmed. and shows her fear by her
anxious bleating, which does not
cease until the lamb returns to her.
And thus II Is with nearly every

full love for her young.
This motherly care is not quite like
the ordinary friendship which one
animal may have for another. A cat
and dog may be good friends all
their lives. But, though the cat loves
her kittens before all things while
they are young and weak, later on,
when they are sufficiently grown In
size and strength to take good care
of themselves, her affection gradually
dies away, and she becomes indiffer-
ent to their wants. Sometimes she
ill even drive them away from her.
Another feature OF this parental
love is what might almost be called
Its unthinking strength The mother
animal feels her affections so strong
that she cannot restrain them, and
she often bestows them upon the
strangest animals. along with her
own young ones, or when she has been
deprived of her own offspring.
A hen will hatch ducks eggs, and
take the same care of the ducklings
which she would have taken of her
own chickens. A story is related of
a hen taking charge of three young
'errets for a fortnight They were
placed In her nest because their own
mother had died. and she took to
them at once and nestled down over
them just as II they had been chick.

low her about. as chickens would have
done, and she had to sit with them
almost the whole time. She combed
out their hair with her bill, Just as
she would have preened the feathers
of chickens. The ferrets were fed
by their owner, and they were taken
away from the nest before they were
old enough to do the hen any harm.
An even stranger instance of this
misplaced affection on the part of a
parent has been seen at RAILWAY
station recently, according to the
newspapers.
a cat in the freight shed had three
kittens. which she was bringing up
in the usual way. Soon after the
kittens were born some of the rail.

put 1t with them. The cat made no
objection, but received the bird kind

SABANG RIVAL
OF SINGAPORE
New Dutch CoaIing Port Bids
for Steamer Business of
Strait of MalacCa.

Sabang, unknown dozen years ago,
today is as familiar to the seafarers as
Singapore itself. Situated on the ex.
IRENE northeast of the Dutch Sumatra
Islands, in the gateway of the Far
East, Sabang was selected ten years
ago by Dutch company as coaling
depot to compete with Singapore for
the immense coaling business of the
Strait of Mayacca. 1t forms an ex-
ceptionally well.sheltered harbor. on
the Island of Web, two days sail to
the north of Singapore, and every YES
sci bound for the east must pass it.
With the growing rivalry of the
trading nations, the coming into exist
ence of port that deserves to rank
with Singapore in the control of the
coal trade of the westerly end of the
Far East is an event of the first order,
That Sabang actually is developing
into coaling port Of the first magni-
tude appears from the great induce.
ment the Dutch coaling company offers
to the worlds steamers. Sabang' IS coal
wharves front the bay for over l400
feet and its five electric coal tips can
each coal vessel at the rate of eighty
tons an hour. Its sheds can hold over
| $4,000 tons, the contract STIMULATING q
minimum stock of 10000 tons of best
Welsh and Bengal coal. A floating
drydock, capable of receiving S000ton
vessels, repair ships with seventeen
steam hammer, and dredger complete
the equipment of this Dutch enter
prise, which, besides, has Geographic
connection with all the world, offers
the shipowner free entry, anchorage
with thirty feet of water at low tide
pilot-serving and wharfage. The hope
of this new port flying the Dutch flag
for a commanding rele in the Far East
seems to be well founded.
| When Great Britain concluded hel
recent treaty with Siam, taking ovei
populous section of Siamese terri
tory just north of Singapore, and OBJ
tanning guarantees against possible en-
croachments of rival powers on the 81
amese coast, it became evident tina
international rivalry had grown ia
more tense around the Malay peninsul;
and archipelago than was realized. Ger
man activity in the Dutch East Indies
and the gulf of Siam is as great as il
is in China, though very much les
conspicuous. And were Holland to fine
her advantage, as many think, in en-
tering the German empire, the interest
developed, by the Germans Throughout
the Dutch East Indies, especially il
the carrying trade, would tend to max
the transition of the archipelago from
Dutch to German rule an easy an,
quiet measure. With the possibility o
such developments in view, the rise O
a new port capable of modifying tn,
status of that imperial outpost, Sing
