Most interesting of all. perhaps, Is the making

upon it is tackled the rattan which forms the out
lines of the picture. Rattan is chosen for the
purpose because 1t is pliable and can be bent
into any sort of curves. The carpenter has be-
fore him drawing, made by the artist OF the
company and executed TO a certain scale. It Is
a simple matter to reproduce the lines of this
drawing in rattan, so to speak. enlarged
scale.
Having thus made the outlines of the picture
in rattan upon background of lattice work. the
carpenter drives at short intervals along the rat
tan a series of little nails. Upon each nail is
to be put a small cylinder, quarter of inch
in diameter and three inches long, loaded with
some colored fire composition. When this opera

The man-of-war aira.

The frigate pelican, or man-of-war
bird, is usually met with by travellers
in the tropics. Although when stripped
of its feathers it is hardly larger than
a pigeon, yet no man can touch at the
same time the tips of its extended
wings. The long wing bones are ex
ceedingly light, and the whole apps
ratus Of air cells is extremely devel-
oped, so that its real weight Is very
trifing. 1t flies at great height above
the water, and from that elevation
pounces down on fish, especially pre-
ferring the poor. prosecuted flying fish
for its prey. According to some au.
thors, the name of man-of-war bird
was given to 1t because its appearance
was said to foretell the coming Of a
ship, probably because the frigate peli.
can and real frigates are equally ad-
verse to storms, and both like to come
into harbor If the weather threatens.

Philadelphia, Feb. 24.-Police Off

knowledged their inability tn cope
with the ct ike situation when a re-
quest as made of John C. Groome, su-
perintendent of the state police. that
the 200 members of his command be
brought to this city for police duty.
This request was made, notwith-
standing that serious rioting was less
frequent today than on any other day
since the strike Of the streetcar men
began last Saturday. The state police
are expected to reach here tomorrow
morning, and will doubtless be sent in
to the Kensipgton district, where the
State Fencibles had such an unpleasant
experience.
For the first time the Rapid Transit
company succeeded in running its cars
until 6 o'clock on the Frankford line,
which penetrates this unruly territory.
At that hour all cars were returned to
the barns.
Four policemen guarded each car,
and detectives patrolled the route all
day in automobiles. Whenever q
group of men formed detectives rushed
them and even followed the ringleaderi
into houses until they had captured
them. In spite of the vigilance Of the
police, many car windows were b. O.
ken. and the company was finally
obliged to use sheet iron windows ir
place of glass panes.

where he is the pet he is credited with
more than ordinary dog sense and with

demonstrate his sagacity his master
said to him few evenings ago:
"Schnapps, the young people have
been here long enough. Go down and
tell the boys to go home" Downstairs
he waddled and, standing before the
visiting youths, barked and howled
then ran to the front door and back
again and kept up the performance
until, as his proud master explained,

London, Feb. 24.-The fight from
Lhassa of the Dalai Lama will cause
no surprise to close observers of the
Chinese attitude toward the Tibetan
people when he was in Pekin.
1t became evident then that the
Chinese government had no intention
Of permitting him to reume his sway
at Lhassa. 80 far as civil power was
concerned, and attempts were even
made to bar his passage on his return
home.
Following its policy of "China for
the Chinese" the government determ-
ined to make more effective its control
over the land Of the Lamas. A cam
paign to this end has been pushed in
the border provinces for the last two
years, and now China has sent an army
Of 25, 600 anti-Buddhist troops into the
capital of Tibet.
This army, which was dispatched
from Sze- -Chuen, has been drilled by
Japanese officers and is completely
equipped with mountain and machine
guns of German and Japanese patterns
and with wireless apparatus.

Chinese Government Determ-

Calcutta, British India, Feb. "a
Chinese troops today entered Lhassa,
the capital of Tibet, and the residence
of the Dalai Lama, the supreme head
Of the Lamaist hierarchy, who, upon
the approach of the soldiers, fled with
several of his ministers into India.
Serious trouble has been expected,
owing to the action of the small Chi
nese army, which, marching from Sze-
Chuen, China, subdued Eastern Tibet,
levying contributions on the Lama'e
home and showing no respect for the
monasteries.
The Tibetans, resenting the desc
Grafton of their holy places, petitioned
the Chinese foreign board, praying
that the emperor of China interfere in
the interest Of the Buddhists. The pc.
tition was disregarded, the Chinese
propose to make the administration oi
the country purely Chinese.
The Dalai Lama appealed to Lord
Mimic, the viceroy of India, but he re.
fused to interfere.
