NEIGHBoRs PROTEST
Against kelIner Plan To Build
Mausoleum on His Property.

Los Angeles. Cal. July 23.-Resi-
dents of the fashionable Couer dAlene
district. near Venice. have raised a
loud protest against the announced
intention of E. F. Kellner to build a
magnificent tomb for himself and wife
in the rear of his home.
Mr.. Kellner is a wealthy banker and
was formerly a mining man in
Arizona. He plans to follow the Gus
tom formerly prevalent throughout
the South of having the family
mausoleum on his home property
Mr.. Kellners plan is to erect the
concrete tomb one foot below the sur
face of the ground. 1t will contain
two vaults large enough to contain
two Theoretically sealed collins.
The interior of the tomb will be
studded with ore from the valuable
collection owned by Mr.. Kellner. The
collins, which will cost approximately
500 each. will be of Arizona copper
The name of Mr.. Kellner and his wife
will be inscribed with gold ore. The
ore which will be placed in the vaults
is valued at several thousand dollars.

GARTER SNAKES
Are Used In Ohio To Kill of Potato
Bugs.

Cadiz. Ohio, July pa new use for
snakes was discovered on the farm of
Hon. Samuel X. Mclaughlin, of near
Adena, few miles east of CadiZ, by
Mr.. Charles Albright. a farmer. He
saw garden snake coiled about po-
tato plant near him. and killed it.
He was surprised in a few moments
to see another snake coiled about the
top of plant in another row. and be-
ing curious to know what the snakes
could be doing in such position. he
watched for few moments. and was
rewarded by seeing the snake gather
the potato bugs from all over the plant.
and eat them with an apparent relish.
He allowed this snake to have its free
dom. and he says there would be work
for quite little army of these reptiles
in his potato field.
Many farmers refuse to allow snakes
of any kind found in this section to be
killed, as they declare they destroy
hundreds of field mice. rats. and even
ground squirrels. that are such pest
to farmers in destroying grain of diff
ferert kinds at different seasons of the
year.

MusTAcHEs TO BE CULTIVATED
In British Army, BY Special Order Is
sued at Aldershot.

London July 24.-Mustaches are con-
sidered so important in the British ar
my that special order has been issued
at Aldershot drawing attention to the
regulations on hirsute adornment.
1t seems that certain young otilcers,
especially in the cavalry, have been
using the razor on the upper lip, fol-
lowing the prevailing fashion of clean
shaver faces.
Now, the Kings regulations ex-
pressly define the style in which the
soldiers face may or may not be
adorned tonsorially. THE upper lip is
not to be shaved, and the chin and I'M
der lip are to be shaved. Whiskers, II
worn. are to be of moderate length
This order dates back 50 years. and
no officer but few retired Generals
now wear whiskers. The majority of
officers conform to the regulations as
to mustaches, but it has become the
ashton in the cavalry to go barefaced.
Hence the order.

Tho National Zoo.
To the northwest of Washington,
east of Connecticut avenue and north
of the Million dollar bridge" lie the
National Zoo and Rock Creek Park.
)Of the drive-for there is only one
narrow main rOad-through this
beautiful region one can speak only in
superlatives. True. Rock Creek Is
muddy and yellow most of the time
and never is bright and clear like the
northern mountain streams. but 1t
gurgles and murmurs and glides over
the rocks beneath the most graceful
of foliage and in the most rugged OF
surroundings. The carriage road
follows all the fluctuations of the
stream. and when the mercury regis
tiers 1O5 down town it is always cool
and comfortable in Rock Creek Park.
On the hottest of summer mornings
there is even a chill in the bottom of
this charming valley.
Rock Creek flows south through
Georgetown and on to the Potomac. at
the bottom of a gorge not as i'm
pressive. but of the same character
as that of the Niagara Rapids. Not
even a carriage road threads this
noble natural highway: and it is part
ly for the purpose of influencing pub
lie opinion to demand the parking OF
this stretch that this story is written.
Most Impressive Drive in Country.
Thus roughly and hastily is des-
cribed a chain of possible driveways
which, if properly constructed and
connected would make the belt drive
about Washington probably the most
impressive in the country. This
drive is part of the scheme of the
Commission of Fine Arts, and 1t
should be said in justice that very
much of it already is possibility.
Theodore Roosevelt did great piece
of pioneering when he caused the Po-
tomac Drive, or Riverside Park. to be
put through. William H. Taft Will
accomplish as much when he induces
Congress to connect this with ROCK
Creek. The other sections are COM
paratively simple and easy, as moth
ing more than ordinary widening ana
surfacing would appear to be neces-
sary. 1t may be impOssiblel to MI
artistically the gap between the Capt.
tol and the Soldiers Home, for the
path lies through a region of brick
and asphalt, but this small defect may
be overlooked if the remainder OF the
chain is completed.
Washington is growing more beautl-
full every day. Much of her resi-
dence section is given over hopelessiy
to brick rows. but many of these IN
due time will fall down, thanks to the
f1imsy construction of eager specula-
tors. Within the last few years the
trend of home builders to the subur-
ban sections is very marked. MOI
more than five years ago 1T was un-
thought of to live very far north OF U
street. Today detached homes are
going up for three miles along the line
of Connecticut avenue to Chevy Chase
so rapidly that the rattle of the nam
mers is almost continuous. rms Is

wealthy or the far sighted retire al
night as the inhabitants of tropical
countries betake themselves in the
summer to the neighboring noun
