QUEBEC, Aug. 3-With a Bible and

been hoping TO obtain a confession
from his prisoner is rather chagrin-

she received a cablegram from Lon

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
USE OLD DAVIS HOME.
Battle and Collect Oysters and Grabs
Near New Orleans.

The veterans of the Confederate ar
my are housed in the home which was
once the house of Jefferson Davis, on
the gulf of Mexico. not far from New
Orleans, where they can see the blue
expanse of water, battle to their
hearts content and in spare moments
collect oysters or catch crabs from the
piers in front.
BeauVoir is an ideal spot for an old
mans home. It was given to Mr.. Davis
by a southern woman who admired
him greatly, and for many years he
and his family lived there when they
were not in the larger cities. 1t is
one of the many southern homes on
the Mississippi and Louisiana stretch
of the gulf Of Mexico, with their shell
roads in front and wide domains COW
cred with trees behind.
It is built In the usual style of that
region, with a long, wide hall extend
ing through the middle Of the house
and opening on to a veranda or gal
lery which runs across the front. The
nall Is USED as living room, ana OH
from it are bedrooms. In the yard is
a guest house, where Mr.. Davis enter
tanned his friends, and a small but
well stocked library is housed in cot
tage which fell to the Davis family
with the house.
But the estate of Beauvoir is not the
only attraction the veterans enjoy, for
it is situated in one of the most unique
regions of the United States. This
part was the home of the Arcadians
who migrated there from Nova Scotia
and it is also the home of many arts
tocratic creoles who live there the
whole year or own picturesque sum
mer cottages, retiring to New Orleans
or Mobile in the winter.

TriIlion Tons.
Reinhard A. Wetzel, a Young in.
structor in the College of the City OF
New York, has weighed the earth
gram BY gram, ton by ton, on scales so
small that if the breeze caused by a
drifting feather had stirred them his
calculations would have been upset and
useless. The weight of this little
planet on which we live is only 6.o3O.-
100000, 1000, o00, oo0, O00, 00O, 900 grams. or
100000 100000 tons
Five years ago Wetzel hied himself
forth to seek the weight of sunbeam
and while experimenting upon this
problem found such delight In the
thought of centering his energies on
the other feat that he decided tempo-
rarily to devote himself solely TO fig
uring exactly how great is this planet
He has discovered it and asserts his
calculations are more accurate than
any formerly made. Only three such
calculations have been sent forth be.

MUD HUTS OF IRELAND
FAST BEING REPLACED.
James Bryce Assisted by Beginning
EneIand's Loan to Owners.

The mud edif1ee is becoming thing
OF the past in Ireland. 1t was more OF
less picturesque in descriptions of the
landscape, but it was and is certainly
nsanitary and often unfit for the
abode of human beings.
1t still exists too numerously, but il
has been the aim of the Irish repre-
sentatives for a generation to abolish
it in favor Of habitable cottages.
More than a quarter of century ago
the first laborers' act was passed
From 1883 to 1906 10000 cottages were
erected for the laborers. Local author
tiles had power to borrow money from
the government, repayable by install
ments, and build the cottages with the
proceeds, letting them at a charge
which covered the cost.
The work was slow because the rate
at which the money was borrowed was
too high to enable the cottages to be
let without loss to the rates at price
that laborers could pay and because,
as is usual in this red tape ridden
country, vast amount of money had
to be spent on procedure, which means
in the end law costs.
Then James Bryce came along and
before his departure for Washington
made his chief secretaryship memo
rable BY an act which has done as
much for the laborers since his day,
and done it better and cheaper, as was
done In the previous quarter of CEN
fury.
Procedure was simplified. and the
money was lent upon favorable terms.
Ireland got loan of f4,500O00 ($22.-
100000 at 49, per cent, covering both
interest and sinking fund, with other
financial advantages thrown in, and
cottages could be erected and let to
the laborers at rents as low as a shil-
ling and sixpence and even shilling
week
But the money is now all gone. and
some thousands of laborers are still in
the mud ediices comparable to the
kraal and the wigwam. The Irish par
ty has been pressing the matter in par
lament and has induced Mr.. Birrell to
let them have another 100000.

Some years ago Chamberlain was

were nurses, she insisted on caring for

And now that Chamberlain is better
much better, it is said-she has even
a harder task to perform. for the old

keep him quiet until he is really fit.

FIBER PREVENTS DROWNING

One of the most important life say

vegetable fiber has been found lighter

than swansdOwn, and less than two
pounds of it will save any man or
woman from drowning.
All the circumstances which fire.
quently accompany a boating disaster
We're reproduced at the test. Two men
set out in a canoe from a houseboat in
the neighborhood of Laieham. There
was only one other craft on the reach
at the time, large steamer laden with
passengers taking a trip upstream.
The majority of them leaned over the
rail and watched the canoe.
Suddenly they were horror stricken
to see-what is so often a prelude to
boating tragedy-one of the young
men standing up in the canoe. In a
moment the gunwale was under wa
ter and the two men We're overheard
Everybody expected to see them sink.
They had not noticed that two white
cushions bad fallen in as well.
moment later both men snatched
hurriedly at the cushions, and, to the
surprise of the steamer passengers.
once they had seized a corner of these
white cushions they were safe. The
weight OF the two men, and they were
both fairly heavy, seemed to have no
effect whatever on the cushions, which
were stuffed with kapok, the new life
saving fiber.

the twenty extra feet now is simply
