REVIVE BERING TUNNEL PLAN
Paris Corporation Formed to Connect
Asia and America by Rail
Scheme Feasible.

Paris.-The project of tunneling
Bering strait and connecting Asia and
America by rail is attracting renewed
attention on this side of the water.
Several Frenchmen with important
governmental relations are reported to
be committed to the plan, among
the more conspicuous being Francois
Deloncle, formerly In the diplomatic
service and now deputy representative
of the colony Cochin China.
A corporation formed for the con-
struction of the tunnel plans to utilize
two small islands in Bering strait as
ventilation towers, so to speak, thus
dividing the tunnel into three sections,
averaging In length about ten miles
each.
j. Delobel, one Of the capitalists in
terested in the project, visited Lon
don recently with the object Of enlist
ing in 1t some prominent American
railway men who then were there
One of them, retired railway presi-
dent of vast experience who now Is in

ago to become director in Bering
strait tunnel company.
An American who has just arrived
in Paris from London says the invita-
tion to this railway magnate was re-
peated last week, but it is not at all
probable that he will accept. He has
for the present positively forbidden
the use of his name in connection
with the project. AT the time his
friends say he is far from regarding II
as chimerical, but on the contrary
would probably enter into 1t personally
If he were younger. Careful inquiries
are being made in Paris regarding the
character and responsibility of the
Frenchmen who are promoting the
scheme and it is said these inquiries
are in the interest Of American cap
italists.

OMAHA HAS A FROG FAMINE
Dry Weather Causes Dearth In Mar
ketable Denizens Of MiIIponds,
Creeks and Swamps.

Omaha, Neb.-Therc is bull mar
ket here on frogs, due to the unusual
dryness of the season. Places where
heretofore frogs have hatched by the
millions and grown to full size this
season are frogless. The swamps and
low lands have become as dry as a
turnpike and in them not frog is to
be found.
Ordinarily at this season of the year
frogs large enough to serve in the ho-
tells and restaurants may be bought of
the frog catchers and fishermen at 40
to so cents per dozen, but this year
they have jumped to 80 cents per doz-
en-, and even at those prices are hard
to get.
"Blondy" Clark, who for the last If
teen years has run froggery on the
shores of Florence lake. and annually
has sold from 800 to 500 dozen of
frogs, finds himself now without frog
except the old stock carried over for
breeding purposes.

New York.-Capt. Calvin, at Coney
Island, has ordered that men who pose
in tightly fitting bathing suits on the

will be the watchword from Seagate
to Manhattan Beach.
1--WE have been receiving so many
complaints lately" said Capt. Calvin,

those tight fitting suits or a one-piece
suit. I'm tired of those Adonises who
put on their suits and pose. I've look.
ed them over myself and some of the
suits I've seen are indecent.
1T might not be so bad If these
fellows would go in the water, but
most of them are so vain that they
just strut around, pulling out their
chests, trying to make hit with the

.BAN|SAES ALL PETS
Dogs and Cats Should Be Elim-

Health Commissioner Evans OF Chi
cago Says Animals Spread Con-
tagon and Are Responsible
for Great Many Deaths.

Chicago. = Health Commissioners
Evans put ban on cats, dogs ana
other pets.
He declared that they were means
of spreading contagion, and undoubt-
edly were responsible for many deaths
in year.
"There is no question in my mind,"
he said, "but that dogs and cats, es-
pecially the latter, should not be per-
mitted in cities
without doubt they carry con-
tagion and are responsible for many
deaths annually-just how many no
man can surmise.
I'VE quarantine a house where
there is scarlet fever for instance. 1t
has been established that cohtagion
is spread principally through con-
tact. We say: No one inside the
house shall come out, no one outside

lily cat 1t is constantly In contact
with infected things, II not actually
stroked by the sufferer
"The cat runs in and out, through
doors and windows. 1t roams about
the nelglfborhood. 1t is stroked and
petted by the neighbors' children.
Much contagion certainly is carried in
this manner. Parents should guard
against cat from infected premises
as carefully as against children from
| the same premises.
"But the cat is not nearly as easily
| guarded against.
"The dog to a minor degree spreads
contagion, In a minor degree because
a dog as a rule sticks closer to his
masters house
Dogs, though, are a general nuis'
ance, and they spread the deadly
rabies. Not all cases are of local
origin, many persons being brought
to Chicago for treatment
at is in the spread of contagion
though, that cats and dogs offer the
greatest menace. OF what avail Is II
to quarantine house when cats are
going in and out and mingling with
the neighbor's children?
when we drew up our bakery
ordinance we had occasion to investi
gate the matter of cats In bakeries
Chief Sanitary Inspector Ball col
lected considerable data. The pres
ence of the cat was defended on the
score that it kept down the rats ant
mice. Mr.. Ball in his investigation
found that in fact cats did little II
keeping down rats and mice, and thai
the harm they did far more than of
set the little good they were sup
posed to do 1t was demonstrated
that they were nuisance and
menace in bakeries.
"There is much on this sub1ec
which comes under the head OF rea
sonable surmise-and the indictmen
is severe against family pets. Whel
1t comes to incontrovertible facts
though, the case is not so clear, bu
there Is no question that family pet
