him all the money he had asked for
He gets 100000 year from Russia
and 100000 from Austria.
Yes" say his ministers, Eve never

pride.

MEXICAN BASTILE TO LOSE
TERRORS, MADERO PROMISES
san Juan dc Ulua, Where Prisoners
disappeared" To be Abandoned.

disappeared, 10 be ADanuoheu.
Mexico City.-San Juan de Ulua, at
Vera Cruz, which for two centuries
and a half under Spanish and Mexican
rule has been a military prison, will
soon have no more terrors for the
criminal, provided the national as
sembly consents to the necessary laws
for its abolition now under consider
alton.
President Madero during an inspec-
ton of the prison while he was presi-
dent-elect promised the prisoners
that he would see that they were
transferred to some more habitable
place. but the move has met with diff
ficulties.
The only federal prison available
for the transfer was the Castle of
Perote, in the state of Vera Cruz, near
the divide on the gulf slope. which
was found to be too small and. until
after many alterations were author
lied, could not be used.
The old fort al San Juan, the Nor
ro Castle of Mexico, has always held
for the political offender and the evil
doer all the horror ever inspired by
the Bastille or the Tower of London.
It is built on the island in the bay
az Vera Cruz, about a mile from the
shore, and comparatively few of the
| thousands who have entered its gates
have come forth alive. Many of the
cells are partly under water when the
/ tide is full, and the interior ones are
without light or ventilation. In these
! in Spanish times the culprits were
confined the water reaching to their
waists.
Prisoners Disappear.
Under Mexican rules these lower
cells are said to have been abandoned
as places of confinement; but con-
demnation to few months imprison-
ment in the least unsanitary portions
of the grewsome fort, overrun with
vermn and reeking in the filth OF
centuries, meant a lingering death
and many of Mexico's political pris-
oners have dropped from sight with
in its walls.
The corner stone of the castle was
laid by the Spaniards in 1923. It,
foundations alone are said to have
cost more than s4,o00,00O gold. and
the aggregate sum spent on the castle
by the Spaniards over s20,o00,00(
gold.
Escape Is Impossible.
, The fact that the castle is still II
use is evidence Of the efficiency will
which the work of construction wa
done. Escape from the place is i'm
possible, not only on account Of th'
guard which is maintained, but be
cause of the sharks which infest tn
waters of the harbor.
San Juan was the last stronghold
OF the Spaniards in Mexico when tn
| Mexicans triumphed in the war of in
| dependence in 1921. The last act be
| fore evacuation was to turn the gun
| of the fort on the City of Vera Cruz

British Museum Trustees Swindled III

Critic

London, July 27.-When any COW

IL heard that there are more so-called
"old masters" in America than ever
could have been painted, together
with the proud boast that no English
art gallery or museum contains any

1t is. therefore. amusing to learn
how the trustees of the British Muse

stan, worshipping the redeemed devil
in the form of a peacock-as the gem

ed an impudent imposture by Athle-
stan Riley, who reveals the trick in
a letter to the Times.

"As | visited the celebrated Temple

struction in 1892, and am, indeed,

KINDS OF HAY FOR STEERS


at the Kansas experiment station
alfalfa hay. sorghum hay and Kaffir
hay were compared as roughages for
fattening steers. It was found that
when alfalfa hay was fed It took only
about six pounds Of corn and cob
meal to produce pound Of gain, while
when sorghum was fed 1t took III
pounds Of corn and cob meal to pro.
duce pound Of grain
The figures for the Kaffir hay were
ten pounds OF the meal for a pound
OF gain. Experiments at other sta.
tions indicate that under similar con
ditions It would take about nine
pounds Of corn and cob meal to make
a pound Of gain when clover and tim.
