Advantage of the Blind.

A correspondent, writing on the IL

out strange anomaly In deYising
the "0riental Braille' alphabet for the
use Of the Indian blind it was found
that the 63 combinations of the six
Brail1e dots will serve to give the
blind one code for the whole of the
languages and dialects. With this
code the Indian blind are being taught,
and no difficulty has arisen in any. YER

with sight is more unfortunate. The
complicated nature of the native syl
labaries is such that it requires from
500 to 1000 sorts of type to print 4

wistaria Trained into Trees.

The wistaria tree is the latest ia
panesque effect sought by expensive
gardeners. To train one into any
kind of shape takes three years of
patient pruning, but the result is well
worth waiting for, so foreign and ar
tistic and unusual The vine is first
allowed to grow to height of four
feet, and then all tendrils are nipped
at the top and those at the sides made
TO train out over stakes. These are
kept pruned as they grow into
branches. When strong enough they
are permitted to bloom, and clusters
of pale violet flowers soon hang In
profusion from the spreading, minia-
ture trees.

White House in company with two
other representatives to introduce
number of Jewish rabbis who took up
with the president the question Of the

ers knew anything of the incident I'M
til Representative Harrison returned
to the Capitol and there made state
ment to the effect that he had been re-
buffed by the president.
Mr.. Taft based his refusal to see
Mr. Harrison on statements attributed
by newspapers to the representative
in connection with his resolution in
the house calling upon Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham for full information
as to the connection of his Office with
the Ballinger-Pinchot episode" Mr..
Harrison, according to the White

the president and the attorney general
with having wilfully attempted to mis-
lead congress in the back dating OF

Of the interior.

It is said that up to the last minute

provision in the BILL This fact was
reported to the president, but did not
disturb him in any way. -
The long and short haul clause as
adopted by the house provides that
railroads shall not charge more for a

NIGHT REOPEN ARGUMENT

49, y
oramne Is That the Discussion OF
the Real Cause Of the Explosion
Would Be Renewed and Should Ii
z : Be Found to BE Internal Serious
Z Complications Would Result. :. r. !.
= Washington, June ia change
has been made in the plan Of the adj
ministration for raising the Maine. It
has been determined to blow up the
hulk of the battleship which for
twelve years has, been lying in the
larbor Of Havana. -: s....=..
II The excessive cost of repairing the
vessel and the fear Of arousing dis
quieting questions about who sunk it
are responsible for the change Of plan.
May 9 congress passed bill appro-
priating. 100000 for raising the Maine
or removing the wreck. In the general
deficiency bill reported to the house
by Representative Tawney this law is
modified by: provision directing the
leoretart Of war to report to congress
at the next session the best practical
method and the probable cost" of car
rying into effect the law of May 8.
This is regarded as limitation on the
original act. 49,, n- o..
The unofficial explanation at the
house of this change of programme is
that it would be unwise to reopen the
agitation of whether the Maine was
sunk by an internal or explosion explo-
sion. Already there has been much
discussion of this subject, many prom
inent legislators having declared their
convictions that the vessel was sunk
by an accident within the ship and not
from the outside, as the court Of in
quiry found.
By raising and restoring the vessel
It might become quite apparent that
the explosion, was wholly from the in
side, In which event some tembarrass-
ing international complications might
arise.
Information Is Conflicting.
Chairman James A: Tawney Of tho
appropriation committee has been ad-
vised that there are no bodies of sea-
men in the hulk. This is in conflict
with the information of>the navy do.
partment, because the records show
that more than 100 bodies of members
Of the crew have not been recovered.
It has been assumed that they were
locked In the wreck Of the vessel. An.
other reason that prompted Chairman
Tawney to favor blowing up the hulk.
is the excessive cost of raising 1t. He
has had information from tho war de.
partment that this would probably
cost $1,00O,o00.
In fact there is serious doubt wheth.
Or it is possible as an engineering feat
20. raise the vessel. The army engi.
neers state that to do this a cofferdam
fifty feet high must be built. The
Maine lies in thirty-dve feet Of water,
with seventeen to twenty-five Of mud.
It is said that q cofferdam fifty feet
high has never been built In an open
water like Havana harbor. Colonel
Edward Burr of the army engineers
has told Chairman Tawney that there
is no precedent for feat of this sort
and it Is an open question whether 1t
could be successfully done, working
under the disadvantage of a tropical
climate and long distance away
from the base of supplies.
