at them. Set the pots in saucers and
keep the soil wet to counteract ex-
cessive evaporation.
Boston ferns can be stood with
other foliage plants on the porch, as
they are much less delicate. One
woman who has number the same
size plunges the pots in porch boxes,
on a semi-shady side of the house,
where they make an effective show
ing and thrive well until time to
bring indoors in the fall
Ferns can be grown In any old pan
or dish painted rich green or dull
red Bore hole in the sides and bot
tom to give air. For fern dishes for
table use, it is wiser to have an inner
pan for the planting. This can some
times be set in pan of water when
it shows signs Of drying out.
The fern grower who likes to ex-
pertinent with more delicate species
can do so with Wardian case. This
has a wood base about six inches
deep lined with zinc or is sometimes
of earthenware. There are glass sides
and top, the latter hinged.
The top must be lifted an inch
every few days to keep the glass free
from moisture, otherwise no ventila-
ton is necessary.
Delicate ferns when grown in this
way get almost the atmosphere to
which they are accustomed in their
native haunts and do well even in a
hothouse.

Dinner Gowns.

Shot satins in pale colorings are
being used for some of the prettiest
of the new dinner gowns, designed on
very simple lines, with long, trained
skirts and draped bodices. The skirts
are left without any trimming but
for the adornment of the bodices
bugle fringes are frequently employ
ed, carried out in a mixture of clear
crystal and the colorings which are
seen in the shot satins. AS the wealth
er grows colder, velvet dinner gowns
will be more and more frequently
seen, and will most undoubtedly play
a prominent part in the fashions of
the immediate future. In style these
also will be exceedingly simple, and
will need little or nothing in the way
of trimming. beyond bertha or fichu
of fine real lace, and possibly a touch
of fur.

No Extensions for irrigation.

Washington = General Marshall,
formerly chief of army engineers, but
now consulting engineer for the Inter
ior department, in a statement relating
to the assignment of the 500, 900, 900
in certificates of indebtedness to rec
lamation projects, said:
"The board of army engineers made
no recommendation for the extension
of the Umatilla project, but this action
was not discrimination against that
project, because they made no recon-
mendation for the extension of any
other excepting possibly the Yuma pro-
ject, for which they recommended the
inclusion of certain Mesa lands. No
extensions were recommended in Idaho,
Washington, Oregon, Montana, Colo
rado, Utah, Nevada, North Dakota or
South Dakota. The United States has
undertaken all the work it can carry
through with the resources at hand"

Rumored Four important Changes
Will Occur in Cabinet.
Washington Rumors of a coming
shakeup in the cabinet have been re-
newed. 1t was reported that the
changes said to be contemplated by
President Taft involved the resigna-
tions of Secretary Knox, MacVeagh,
Ballinger and possibly Wilson.
Knox, it is known, is dissatisfied
over his loss of influence in shaping
the administration policies.
Politicians say the time has arrived
for President Taft to dismiss Balling-
er.
A report that Congressman Charles
Scott of Kansas, will succeed Secre-
tary Wilson is generally credited.
The Presidents secretary, Charles
Norton, is named by politicians to sue
ceed MacVeagh, who it is expected
will retire on account of i'll health.
Senator Flint and Representative
Tawney are mentioned as possible sue
cessors of Ballinger.

CHINA GETS ANGRY
Growing Friendship Between Japs
and Russians in MaRChuPia
Coolies and Coreans Clash Chinese
Spies Watch Every Move of
Japanese Troops.

Victoria, B. C.-Disquieting condi-
tiOns which may give rise to serious
trouble between Japan and China, il
not between Russia and China, also,
are reported by the Toxic Kokumln, ac-
cording to advices received by the
steamer Tacoma Maru. The Kokumin
says the growing intimacy between
Russians and Japanese in Manchuria is
having serious effect upon the Chi
nese, and anti-Japanese and anti-Rus-
sian sentiment is increasing. The
slightest movements of Japanese
troops in Manchuria cause great sus-
picion, and large numbers of Chinese
spies are constantly accommodating.
When the maneuvers of the Japansee
troops in Manchuria were arranged in
November, the Chinese military Off
cials sent large focre of Chinese
troops to the scene, and only by tact
fulness on the part of the Japanese
officials was this force withdrawn be-
fore any untoward incident occurred.
Since then Chinese troops and police
have been greatly augmented along the
Antung- Mukden railway.
They have instigated Chinese coolies
to intimidate Corean laborers, with the
result that for three days thousand
Chinese and Coreans engaged in fight
ing. The Chinese police supplied the
coolies arms and there were several
casualties.
The Kokumin concludes long ar
ticle by asserting that if japanese
guards are augmented to suppress the
trouble further fighting will follow.

With Frozen Carbureter, Dead En-
qine, He Descends 5000 Feet.
New Orleans Gliding in a spiral
from an altitude of almost 5000 feet
with frozen carbureter, dead en-
gine and blown five miles from his
course by a 40-mile wind, John B..
Moissant swept down to within 20 feet
of the ground at 100 miles an hour at
the aviation field.
His engine thawed in the warmer
level only in time to allow him to start
his propellers and make a perilous pas
sage from among the trees to a land
ing place.
Moissant's altitude, establishes the
record for the New Orleans meet so
far, the figures being given as 8,038
feet. Despite his narrow escape Mois-
SAINT ascended in his Bleriot shortly
afterwards in the teeth of the wind,
which was then blowing 80 miles an
hour, and made flight of minutes.
Simeon made two flights of about 8
minutes each.

Fur to Be Popular Trimming.

Fur is undoubtedly the most popu-
lar trimming of the year for after
noon and evening dresses, for even
ing coats and afternoon coat suits.
It is a little harder to settle on any
one material that holds first place
with the tickle public. Velvet and vel
vet striped and embossed chiffons are
among the latest arrivals, but they
are still too new to be general. The
brocades and laces are very lovely.
but they are too costly for most peo-
pie and for most purposes. The satins.
chiffons, silk crepes and mousselines
de sole are neither new nor original,
but they are good to look at, and per
haps have a wider and more durable
popularity than anything else.-The
Delineator.

AvIAToRs MEET DEATH.
Frenchmen Meet Disaster Trying for
$4,000 Prize.

Paris - Marquis Marie Paula and
Alexander Laffon, chief pilot of the
Antoinette school of aviation, were
crushed to death under their aeroplane,
just after they had taken the air for a
speed flight from Paris to Brussels and
return.
Laffon's wife was standing only a
few feet away when the machine
struck the ground. The aviators fell
200 feet and the aeroplane fell upon
them, crushing and mangling both
shockingly. Laffon's head was crushed
and his right leg, twisted upward
against his body, was driven into his
chest.
Laffon and Marquis Paula were in
Laffons machine. They were trying
for prize of $40, 900 offered for the
fastest passenger flight over the Paris
Brussels course.
The machine had left the ground
easily and had once circled the grounds
ready to start on its long flight. Just
as it passed over Laffon's hangar and
seemed about to shoot away on the
Brussels course, it lurched violently.
1t is believed a stay of one of the
wings gave way and that the aeroplane
at once became unmanageable. From
ground Laffon's efforts to right the
machine were plainly visible.
The effort was for only few mo-
ments, for with another lurch the ma
chine ducked toward the earth, at the
same time turning over. The aviators
stuck to their places for the first turn,
but we're thrown out when the ma
chine again swirled around and turned
completely over a second time. They
struck the earth fraction of second
before the machine with its heavy en-
gines, fell upon them.
The little crowd that had gathered to
watch the beginning of the fight rush
ed forward and lifted the wrecked ma
chine off the bodies of the victims.
The marquis was placed in an ambu
lance, but died before reaching a hos
pital. Laffon lived a few minutes
longer. Both we're unconscious when
the crowd reached them.

lnsurrents Are Entrenched.

El Paso, Tex.-A special represent
ative of the Ell Paso Herald, after in
vestigating in the region called "Big
Bend," across the border from Texas,
south of Maria and Alpine, says the
rebles hold that entire region and can
defend it against a large army, as it
is protected by mountain passes. The
insurgents, he says, expect the cold
weather in the high altitude of the ST.
ezra Madre district to kill off the Mex

Arms Hidden In Islands.

Manila = Pursuant to the receipt of
secret information, Major General Du-
vail, the retiring commander of the de-
partment of the Philippines, caused
military agents to obtain the assist
ance of the police in searching one
store and several japanese houses for
explosives. The search was futile and
has caused resentment in the japanese
colony. The residences visited in
clude that of the agent of the mercan-
tile houses of Mitsui Bussan company,
limited. Secretary Nagel predicts
that immigration for the year 1911
will approach that of 1907, which

says, that the banks are paying well,
with the prospect that this state of
