Buffalo JONES' the noted American
plainsman, has had an experience in
Africa much more picturesque than
that of the ex-President. He with three
other cowboys and 10 first-class ponies
have been hunting game in east Africa,
not with rifles, but with lassos, and
their experience is worth while consid-
ering whether the lasso might not be
an important addition to the arms of
our cavalry and drill in the use Nof the
rope a necessary qualification of a cav
alryman. They succeeded in capturing
more than so rhinoceri, lions and other
great wild animals. and they gave
the denizens of the forest some decid-
edly new sensations as to the speed of
Western COW pony. Nothing on four
legs could get away from the agile lit
tie horses, and the only defeat that the
cowboys experienced was from a huge
COW rhinoceros. which charged them
whenever they came near and with her
great strength defied their lassos. Jones
says that they might as well have tried
to lasso an express train. All of the
catches were turned loose except one
fine lioness. which was brought to this
coultry

Probably France has got tax collect
ing down to finer point than any
other country in the world. So highly
developed is France that the Govern
ment needs every franc that can be
gotten to help carry out the innumer-
able things which the Government has
to do. and we are constantly having
fresh evidence of the skill with which
the art of collecting taxes has been de-
yeloped. Very wisely. France imposes
tax of So on every dog and the thrifty
French people are not little disposed
to try to conceal their canine pets from
the collector. To get ahead of these
there is squad of men trained to sue
cessfully initiate the bark of every pos-
sibIe kind of a dog. These go thru
the streets day and night, and espe-
cially at night barking in such real
istic way that no dog in a house can
avoid answering them. Then a note
is taken of the number of the house
and if the resident has not paid his dog
tax he receives an imperative summons
to do so at once.

The railroads are scheming to get
the most of the usufruct out OF the
clamor over the high price of living.
Practically every railroad in the coun-
try has notified the Railroad Commits
sion of it's intention to increase its
freight rates by an average of IS per
cent. It is estimated that this will
cost the shippers about 800, 100000
year, and the advance is claimed on
the ground of the increased cost OF
living and higher wages. During the
last two months wages have been adj
yanced from 6 to IL per cent and also
building material has increased from
20 to 116 per cent. Against this the
shippers in Chicago contend that the
net income per mile has increased S45
per cent over what it was 10 years ago.
The net income per mile has increased
steadily from month to month. Where
in November, 1907. it was 1921 per
mile, it was s999 in the same month
in 1909. Where it was $3.50 per mile
in January, 1908, it was S2i2 per mile
in the same month of 1910. The West.
ern shippers propose to seek a way to
prevent the contemplated advance in
rates and the railroads are distinctly
charged with fomenting the agitation
about the increased cost of living.

The failure of Halley's comet to real

Sir William Higgins. the eminent
British astronomer, leaves an enduring
monument to himself as the father Of
spectroscopic analysis in astronomy. He
began in 1869 TO apply the spectroscope
to the heavens, and in spite of many
difficulties and obstacles succeeded in
developing analyses of the constituents
of the heavenly bodies which have been
generally accepted by astronomers. he

John McElroy is not without his ene-
mics and opponents nor number who
are opposed to his election. as COM
mander- in Chief of the Grand Army Of
the Republic. 1t would be strange if
this were not so. and he would feel az
if there was something decidedly lack
ing IL in the 40 years that he has been
editing papers he has not made enc
mics. Some of these are circulating a
note to the effect that he will withdraw
from the race before the meeting of the
National Encampment. This is absO-
never been known as a quitter He
is in the race to stay until the ballots
are counted. He owes this to himself
and to the policies which he has advo-
Gated and still more to the tens OF
thousands of comrades all over the
country who have given him such cor
dial Endorsement. There is a principle
involved in this and the question viii
be whether the progressive policies with
regard to the veterans and their de-
pendent ones and the G. A. r. for which
he has stood all his life shall be fully
accepted or whether more conserva-
tism is desired. There is absolutely no
reason why John McElrOy should with
draw, but every reason why he should
stay in the race and he is going to stay
in until the decision of the National
Encampment shall be made.

Ex-senator Teller. who was formerly
Secretary of the Interior. comes out
unequivocally in favor of Secretary Bal
linger He says that he has read every
line of the testimony and gone over the
hearing as a lawyer would in trying a
case, and is greatly surprised at the
utter foolishness of much of the evi-
dence that was admitted. The men
who have been attacking the Secretary
have been given all the opportunity
they wanted and evidence admitted
that courts usually reject on the in
stant. He thinks that Mr. Ballinger's
course with the. Cunningham coal
claims shows his high character and
scrUpulous exactness.

How much of political automaton
the King of England and the Emperor
of the Indies is, receives an additional
illustration in the development that all
of the Kings speeches are carefully
prepared for him by the Ministry and
scrutinized with the utmost attention
before allowed to be given. This is
particularly true of royal speeches at
State banquets, where there are royal
visitors or ambassadors present. The
proposed speech emanates from the
Foreign Office, where it Is carefully
studied over and copy is sent in ad-
vance to the ambassador of the power,
who forwards it to his own Foreign

The most encouraging of statistics is
furnished by the Interstate Commerce
Commission as to the rapid decrease in
the number of accidents on railroads.
Three years ago the Commission re-
ported that for the year ended June
30, 1907. SO passengers had been kill
ed and 1904 injured in railroad acci-
dents. The next year there were 200
less passengers killed and 1900 fewer
injured. For the year ended June 80,
1909, there was not a single passenger
killed on 347 OF the 36S lines reporting
to the Bureau. The 347 lines operated
159,650 miles of track and carried 570,-
617,563 passengers. OF the remaining
21 companies. 10, which carried 1885,
441,507 passengers, only lost one life
each. On the remaining IL companies
was the great burden of the fatal acci-
dents. The BAT companies represent
more railroads than all of Europe, out
side of Russia, and seven times as many
miles as there are in the British Isles.
Unfortunately the injuries to railroad
employees do not show corresponding
decrease. This is laid to the fact that it

The flight of Glenn H. Curtiss from

is an epoch is aviation. 1t is the best
demonstration up to date of the pos
sibilities of the heavier -than-air ma

with the best work done by the French
aviators. Curtiss left Albany at 1902
a. m. and landed at Ishams Meadows.
cloth street, New York City, at 1850
a. m, 14S miles from the starting
point. He completed the trip by land
ing on Governors Island at IL o'clock.
He kept about 200 feet above the sur
face Gf the Hudson and made his trip
at an average speed of 60 miles an
hour, with only one stop, and that at
Poughkeepsie, where he obtained some
lubricating oil. By this achievement he
won the $4,000 prize offered by the
New York World and made a new rec
ord in aviation. This is the most hope
full thing done in the United States
since the Wright brothers first demon
strated that the heavier-than-air ma
chimes were capable of rlaking short
flights. Forty miles from Albany he
encountered sharp wind, which at
first greatly embarrassed him, but he
rose above it to the hight of 1000 feet
and went on without interruption. His
success naturally leads him 20 coniem-
plate other feats. and probably fight
from New York to Washington will
be the next event, or a race with an
emulous competitor from New York to
Chicago. Curtiss reports that the cost
of gasoline for his trip was about one
cent mile.
