~I'm Poor ShOf,'' He SnId, but Here
 Is Denial.
 The caravan headed for Sir Alfred Pease's farm on the Athi River, says Warrington Dawson, correspondent with the Roosevelt party in Hamp- tons. This farm contains more game. and greater variety, than any other piece of earth owned by one man in the world. Roosevelt and his party were to be the guests of Sir Alfred as long as they cared to stay.
 All over the country could be seen the various spoors of the different game. Kermit got the first shot About POO yards ahead of him fine buck darted into view and. like a flash, Kermit fired and the handsome beast fell dead. Col Roosevelt smiled. examined the bolt of his Springfield rife, and showed the safety over in a way that indicated his intentions toward the next inhabitant of the jun gle that showed up. He had not long to wait to try his luck small herd of wildebeeste. with shaggy names and vicious horns, galloped across the track. Col. Roosevelt spurred his horse into favorable position out of range of the caravan. As of one accord every man, white and black. stood still and watched Roosevelt's Springfield went to his shoulder, and crack crack! and down went two of the bounding wildebeeste.
 The night before the party started on safari, when all were around the camp fire, the ex president had de- clared that he was very poor shot. When Cunninghame saw the two wildebeestes drop in their tracks he cried with smile on his bewhisker- ed face: Pretty bad shooting, that, eh, colonel? You pulled our legs beautifully last night" The colonel smiled, too. and without comment rode over to watch the shikarees skin the game.
 A little later in the day a beautiful Thompson's gazelle stood out on the open, presenting a fine target, al though at very long range. Col Roosevelt got off his horse and took a kneeling shot, with the result that the gazelle is now being stuffed for the Smithsonian collection

atory, writing in the World To-day for November, holds that an adequate cause for part of the variations may be found in the movement of the ice, water and air from the pole toward the equator and its return.
 Observations made simultaneously at Honolulu and Berlin showed that as the latitude at Honolulu decreased that at Berlin increased with the move ment of the pole. The reverse also was true. This means positively that there is a shifting of the axis of the earth.
 A Japanese astronomer, Kimura, ar gues that the movement of the earth's axis and the pole can be explained by the theory that the center of gravity of the earth Is not fixed, but moves backward and forward five or six feet every year. Mr. Frost thinks, how ever, that this explanation cannot be considered as established by fact.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Uader the lately adopted amendment of the constitution of Maine, provic ing fer a popular referendum on Iez- islative enactments, three measures. passed by the legislature of that State last winter, will now be submitted to the people. In each case there were the necessary ten thousand petitioners within three nonths after the ad- 1ournment of-the legislature. Two of the matters upon which the whole State will now vote are purely local in character,-one being the proposed division of the town of York and the other the so-called Portland bridge bill nl,-ands the third is a bill which de- clares intoxicating, withiR the mean ing of the law, all drinks with l per cent alcohol. As Maine iS the first Eastern State to adopt a general mi tiative and referendum scheme, this test of its operation will be watched with widespread interest Its friends hold that it will prove a curb to the passage of improper laws, but others insist that it will become a general nuisance. and will result in careless and inefficient legislation. Thus far the initiative part of the plan has not been invoked in Maine.
