A novel game expedition has left
New York for East Africa, the men,
bers of which intend to capture wild
animals alive and transport them to
this country TO turn them loose in the
arid plains of the southwest and in
the ranges of the Rockies, where it is
hoped they will breed game for the
spOrtsmen of future generations.
Major Frederick Russell Burnham is
the leader of the expedition. He for
merry held a commission as major in
the British army and was chief OF
scouts under Lord Roberts in the Boer
war. He was born in America and
has never relinquished his American
citizenship. Other members of the par
ty are Harris Hammond. son of John
Hays Hammond. and John Blick, a
brother-in-law of Major Burnham.
Rriaht Future For Sportsmen.
If their purpose be realized future
American sportSmen will be able TO
chase the elusive Gland across the
Rockies. stalk the gemsbok on the arid
plains of Arizona or take pot shots
at the tiny dikdik on the Texas prai-
ries.
Major Burnham asserts that his own
interest in the expedition is purely
patriotic.
Though 1 have held majors COM
mission in the British army" he says.
Il have always retained my American
citizenship, and l intend to devote the
remainder of my life, If need be, TO an
object which l believe will be largely
beneficial to the country-tO plant in
the waste places of the west and south
west herds Of game and food animals
which shall take the places OF the near
ly extinct bison. elk and other native
game.
I'VE shall import chiefly the ante
lOpes. of which Africa has hundreds Of
varieties. most of which can be adapt
ed to one part or another Of America.
There is the dikdik. for example, the
smallest of the deer family. 1t stands
less than a foot high and weighs from
six TO ten pounds. The flesh Is de

Gold bricks. real ones. may be the means of restoring the ancient fame of Golconda. near Hyderabad, in southern India. once known all the world over for it's gold mines, but now a deCayed city.
 The natural pits from which many centuries ago the precious metal was extracted have in course of time filled mp with water. A contractor recently obtained permission to make bricks near the place and ten kilns were erected.
 The first finished bricks aroused curiosity by their yellowish tint, and analysis proved that they contained gold dust. On the basis of the yield of the sample bricks. the ten kilns will aggregate in weight about l2.S51 pounds of gold. worth over s50 0O0. .O0o

PORTSMOUTH. N H. April 12- Sedate New Hampshire is ineXpress- ihly shocked by a dinner. given here last night and attended by party of members of the New Hampshire senate. enc of the features of which was some dancing by girls from New York theatcrs. whose art was not of type which would meet with the approval of Anthony COmSt OCk.
 The artists are said to have given an exhibition which would make even Paris sit up and pay attention.
 As the facts of this midnight org at the Hotel Rockingham come to light it is apparent that the Seeley dinner dance in New York had noth- ing that would add materially to the zcst of the Cratic state senatorial function.
 Alice Montague. one of the quar- tet of artists imported to make the occasion pleasing one, said that she danced Spanish number, just about the same as the .Sa!Ome dance" except that instead of hay ing on seven vails sne had on only one. and it was zephry-like in it's gauzy effect

 Mir Bryan replied that it was not money consideration and that. if he looked al il in that light. he would not be worthy of such an invitation. He said that he knew that he had friends in the South who would stand by him, and that was why they did not need him there: they needed him more in the North
 Suggesting that he should not be on one side of the country. he said his home in Lincoln is almost in the center of the country and only about two days ride to any section where he might be needed to help fight for the cause of Democracy He promised to visit Memphis at every opportunity.

 The several steamers at the foot of Lake Laberge are all reported ready to make the run down stream as soon as the river is reported ope all the way, and great race is promised, for each of the boats is eager to reach it's destination ahead of the others.
 There are 800 tons of freight for Dawson. Fairbanks and the Iditarod. and in addition to this there are sev- eral hundred head of live stock for the lower river points. Eight scows will be used for the live stock and the excess freight.
 Dawson held memorial services in honor of the four brave members of the mounted police who lost their lives on the Dawson McPherson expe- dition.

WHAT MAKES NEGRO
 BLACK

What makes the Caucasian white, the negro black and the Indian red One explanation is that the black races are made so as a result of con- tinuous exposure to sunlight. but this theory does not seem to hold good throughout.
 A German professor, Dr. A. Berg field, has just written book in which he attempts to prove that il is all a matter of feeding. He points out that in the animal and insect world color is often determined by food and he argues that by chemical process the same results are shown in the different human races.
 He thinks that the original man was black, as his principal diet must have been vegetarian. Fruit and vegetables contain manganates which ally themselves with iron, making a dark brown combination. Dr. Berg field says that negroes who add meat and milk to their vegetable fare are never as dark as those who only eat vegetables.
 Indians are red because they have absorbed for generations haemoglobln, the red substance in the blood or animals killed for food,
 Mongols are yellow because they de scend from dark fruit eating races who penetrated into the plains of Asia. became shepherds and lived to a great extent on milk. which con tains chlorine and has bleaching eff feet.
 The Caucasians were another branch who became still whiter through adding salt to their dietary. Common salt is a strong chloride and is a powerful agent in bleaching the skin. The effect. he declares, can be seen on negro children who have been brought up on white dietary. They are never so black as their kindred who have not abandoned vegetarianism- Y. Sun.

INDIANS MENAC|NC

MAZATLAN. Mexico, April l. Eleven hundred Indians. under con- mand of Major John P. Norris, who has figured in a half-dozen revolu- tionary movements, have taken pos ses ssicl cf the Tehuan.epec X Ma tional railroad, crossing to Vera Cruz. and are on the move toward the East
 With the Indians. and command ing them. are more than thirty white men. chiefly Americans, and all veterans of active service. This army practically has possession of this Southern strip of Mexico, and will march either upon Vera Cruz or swing Northward to the City of Mexico.
 The force is armed with Mauser rifles and revolvers, and has a Lyddite gun, two machine guns and Colts rapidfire gun. Reports have been received of one brush with rurales, in which the latter were defeated, number being made prisoners. only to become recruits in the ranks of the insurrecto army
 To make Yucatan an independent republic is one of the plans of Nor ris.
 This state has been used by Mexico as reservation in which the government has confined Indians of all kinds. They outnumber the Nexicans who are loyal, and with the insurrecto army easily can take possession of the entire country, according to those who have reached here from the interior.
 There is every evidence that the insurrecto army has been we'll sup. piled with money The men who came down with Norris from the Pacific coast were we'll equipped, and the Indians were supplied with modern weapons after the arrival of those who organized them into a force.

FEET INDICATION 0F
 SANITY

Sane men have large feet and sane women have small feet Conversely, beware of the small-footed man and the large-footed women. That. broad lv speaking. is the upshot of a sta tistical paper by A Marie and NJ MacAuliffe bearing on the relation between feet and sanity which has just been read to the Paris Academy of Sciences by Pros. Edmond Perrier.
 Out of hundred normal men. ac- cordng to the report, eighteen have small feet. and out of a hundred in sane men only twenty-four have large feet The proportions for wom- en are almost exactly reversed. Twenty-three sane women out of a hundred have large feet. and on the contrary. only IS per cent. of mentally deficient women have small feet.
 The ancient opinion that a small foot is beauty ill women is thus proved sound. Even the Chinese may be justified if by reducing a woman's foot you may increase her sanity.
 Heine once set himself up as an authority upon the human foot. He said that he had made a special study of feet in general. first the feet of the lesser quadrupeds. then the feet or elephants. and finally the feet of the women of Gottingen But then he had a grudge against Gottingen and gallantry was not his forte. so Heine need not be taken any more seriously than the modern detractors of Chi cagO--\ Y Sun.
