Romance Of q Shadow.


It is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin Of all astronom-
ical, geometrical and geographical sci
ence. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the ear
lest computer Of time, and the Arab
Of today who plants his spear In the
sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow Of a gnomon that the
early Egyptians told the length of the
year. 1t is from the shadow of a gno-
mon that the Inhabitants of upper
Egypt still measure the hours Of work
for water wheel. In this case the
gnomon IS lhurra stalk supported on
forked .uprights and points north and
south. East and west are pegs in the
ground evenly marking the space of
earth between sunrise and sunset. In
a land of constant sunshine a shadow
was the primitive chronometer. 1t

START WORK On SIAwMILL
Construction Of Big Plant at Inter.
national Falls Has Begun.

International Falls, ]. Feb. Is.
Driving of the piling for the pro-
posed sawmill which the Interna-
tional Lumber company is to build is
under way, having been started this
week by Supt. Lee, who arrivd re-
Gently from Minneapolis.
Til mill will be located just east of
town, at the mouth of the first creek,
and will be Of good size, it's equip
ment to consist of two bands and a
resaw, with an annual output of So
100000 feet of lumber The mill
with it's planning department and
yards, will cover large tract of
ground, considerable of which was
cleared last fall and this winter. A
blacksmith shop has been opened up
on the mill site and side track built
to it, and while the work of driving
the foundation is going on men are
engaged at the Watrous mill down
the river getting out the timbers and
lumber with which the mill is to be
built, of which practically 100000
feet will be required. .
, While the officers of the company
are saying little as to their plans, it
is known that the mill is to be rush
ed to completion, and that it will, if
all goes we'll, be turning out mer-
charitable product by July 1. Some
60,000,000 feet of logs are now in
the tributary streams or on their
banks, so when the mill is started
there will be no cessation because of
the shortage of logs. International
Falls believes that the proposed saw
mill will add largely to it's popula-
ton and prosperity, and everywhere
throughout the town a spirit of op-
timism prevails.

AFRICAN LIONS.
They Often Hunt In Couples to Start
and Capture Their Prey.

They Often Hunt In Couples to Start
and Capture Their Prey.
Lions in Africa go hunting often in
couples and then rather systematical
ly. When. for instance, Il couple of
lions have traced out IL kraal-tllat is
to say, a place fenced by small cut
thorn trees, where flOrkS of asses or
oxen, goats or sheep are shut up f,I
the night-the liOness approaches eau
tiously. prOfiting by every tree or bush
to hide herself At the same time the
lion himself lies watching on the op,
pOsite IN the distance. 49,,
Now the liOness exerts herself to
arouse the cattle-which is not diff
cult, as they become excited merely
by smelling a beast Of prey-till the
cattle are tormented to the utmost by
fear and hoCror, break through the
kraal on the side opposite to the lion
ess and thus fall an easy prey to the
lion.
The lion chases his victim and throt-
ties it by springing on its neck or
breast and biting his teeth into this
part. The hunted animal falls, and
the lion now tears open the TANKS.
The lioness appears and has her share
of the meal. Very often they cannot
devour their victim in one night; then
they come back to the place where the
remains are on the following or the
second night.
The lions favorite food is zebra.
quagga (of which there are few left
in Africa) and wild ass. The meat of
these three kind of animals is some
thing alike In taste.

Dozen men ARE
BELIEVED DEAD
Fire in Belmont Mine at
Tonopah, New.
RESCUERS HARD AT WORK

Scores Of Miners Being Used in Short
Relays in an Effort to Reach the
Entombed Men-Many Are Over
come by the Fumes, but Their
Places Are Promptly Taken by
Other Volunteers.
Reno, New, Feb. 25.-A special dis
patch to the Journal from Tonopah
says:
Fire which started twenty-four
hours ago in the timber yard of the
Belmont mine in Tonopah still sends
out volumes of smoke from the three
compartments of the main shaft and
it is admitted by the mine authorities
that between ten and twelve men in
the 1,16e-foot level are dead.
In addition to those known to be
underground there are said to be a
number Of dead lying in the bottom
of the shaft who were brushed from
the cage in the first ascent.
The mine has two shafts, one on
each side of Mount Oddie. The Desert
Queen shaft afforded entrance to the
rescuers, who are beating back the
smoke by air and water, having pro.
ceeded $50 feet of the 1900 feet sepa.
rating them from the fire. Powerful
blowers and an additional eight-inch
air pipe have been installed. If the
men are alive and break the air pipe
they may survive.
Short relays are being used in, the
rescue work, the entire day force OF
the Mispah mine helping, and as soon
as men are overcome they are re
moved to the hospital and fresh crews
replace them. Nine men are now in
the miners hospital.

VICTORY FOR THE SHIPPERS
Decision Of Interstate Commission in
.... Rate Cases.

~. Rate Cases.
Washington, Feb 25.-The inter-
state commerce commission has de-.
cided against the railroads in both the
Eastern" and the ''Western" cases.
Proposed advances in class freight
rates in official classification territory,
aggregating among all the rail-
ways in the territory approximately
$27,0O0,OO0 a year, were disapproved
by the commission.
In the case involving the increases
by the railroads in Western trunk line
territory the commission also declined
to approve the proposed advances in
commodity rates.
The carriers in both cases are re-
quired to cancel on or before March
10 their advanced tariffs and restore
their former rates, which are the rates
now in effect.
II this requirement be not complied
with the commission will issue a
formal order suspending the proposed
advances and putting into effect the
existing rates for at least two years.
Partial Victory for Texas Roads.
In the case of the railroad commits
sion of Texas against the Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe railway and 9TH
!er carriers, known, popularity as the
Southwestern rate case, the commits
sion declined to disturb the commod-
1ty rates or the first class rates COM
planned of. The defendants are or
dered, however, to reduce the second
class rates. which were increased
from $1.21 to $1.29, to $1.25. On the
remaining classes the defendants are
required to restore the rates in effect
before the increased rates were pub
lished.
In brief, this is the disposition by
the interstate commerce commission
of the most important cases ever
brought to it's attention. In a sense
the decisions were surprise to rail.

had followed closely the proceedings

New York, Feb. 25.-Refusal of the

900 at 1874; Union Pacific, 5000 shares

market was very active and feverish,
with slight improvement after the
earlier quotations.
