The Biggest Rocking stens in ths
 World.

Every one has heard of rocking stones--masses of rock % dslicately poised as to move backward and for ward upon the slightest iinpulse, s2yn a writer in The Wide World Magazine. There are many such stones scattered throughout the world. but the majority of them are mere marbles compared to the famous rocking stone of Tandl, in South America.
 This giant among rocking stones weighs no less than zoo tons and is situated in a low range of hills some 25o miles south of the city of Busnof Ayres. It Is composed of granite and contains 1s0 cubic meters. 1t is in the shape of a paraboloid, four meters high, and i've meters in diameter af the base.
 The stone rocks upon knob of rock beneath, which fits closely into q socket-like hollow in the great boul- der itself. The action of the elements through countless centuries has fuc- ceeded in wearing away the softer parts of the stone, leaving behind only the harder -gritted core
 The stone is 50 delicately poised that fl can be made to crack walnut without crushing the kernel!

BALES PURCHASES CAFE.
Many improvements to be Made in
Building at Corner of Prince
and Royal Streets.

James w. Bales, one of the best
known young men of Alexandria, has
purchased from Frank c. Spinks, the
well-Hnown cafe at the corner OF
Prince and Royal streets. Mr.. Bales
who was formerly in the contract
ing business in Washington but who
made his home in Alexandria, left
here several months ago for Jack
sonville, Fla, where he was associa-
ted with the city engineer in the con-
struction of the new sewer system in
the Florida metropolis. He resigned
his position few days ago and re-
turned to Alexandria to take active
management of his new business.
1t is Mr.. Bales intention to make
many improvements in the property
he has just acquired and a force Of
carpenters and painters will start to
work tomorrow night to make the al
terations in the shortest possible
time. The cafe will be known in the
future as the "Falstatf" and will be
conducted along the most modern
lines.
Mr.. Spinks, who has operated the
cafe for the past eight years has not
decided just what business he will en-
ter but will devoc the next few
months in caring for his large prop
erty interest in the fourth ward.
In bygone years the building on
this corner was used as residence.
The late Wilkinson Hunter resided
there previous to the civil war. 1t
was later used by dentist and about
a third Of century ago was the
home of the late George W. Harris
son, who greatly enlarged the build
ing. Later the late Jacob Bohraus
convrted it into a public house.
President Rutherford B. Hayes Wis
tied Alexandria on the I'd of Febru-
arv, 1881, and was entertained at
this holstelry.
About eight years ago the building
was purchased by Alexandria Lodge
of Elks, and from that time to the
erection of their new structure on the
cast in 1909, the upper story was used
as a meeting room by that organlza-
ton.

Heat Wave and Storms.

The hot wave, which for four days
has overspread the Central States,
New England and the Atlantic coast
ard has caused the death of more
than 100 persons and innumerable
prostrariOns. was eifectually broken
yesterday when thunder showers
sprinklcd the parched earth and sent
the mercury down the tube to nor
NAL summer heat. The showers yes
terday hit nearly the entire country
from Virginia to Massachusetts and
inland Tcr 100 miles or more. Wash
ington was visited by Il hard thun-
der suuall early in the afternoon;
il rained so hard in Boston that The
ball game could not be played; Phil
adelphia experienced refreshing rain
falls: a heavy electric storm swept
over New Jersey, doing considerable
damage, and New York was given
thorough washing down during the
late afternoon.
The highest temperature in New
York city for the day was SS, but

WEIRD SCENE.

A weird way to win additions 10
their ranks was adopted by striking
steamship firemen in New York yes
terday when they virtually MADE d
dead man a leader in their cause.
The body of Andreas Rodriguez, a
striker who was shot to death IN 4
riot Monday night, was taken from
the hearse just after hundreds OF
strikers had attended his funeral at
strike headquarters, and 1t was borne
on the shoulders of men for more than
two miles through water front sec
ton. The empty hearse led the pro-
cession and following the bearers OF
the casket there were eighty empty
carriages. the mourners having re-
fused to ride.
A thronr of thousands joined in the
procession, men and women strug&-
l;nr along without formation behind
the leaders. Some one started fun-
eral chant in Spanish, and as most OF
the strikers are of that nationality,
thew took up the vail all along the
line.
There were new disorders in con-
nection with the strike yesterday
poI;con,an Alexander Bennett young
officer, was perhaps fatally injured
while irving to disperse a crowd of
strikers on Market street.

peal of innocence the most difficult OF
audiences-the United States Senate

tribute to the power Of his orat1ry
by making another canvass u the Sen

pasturage to another. The event is
of high interest to members OF the or

ing held here.
About the plans of the lodges little
could be learned before the march be-
gan, it being the custom to hedge IN
secrecy whatever stunt was plan

of $4,000 in cash prizes, this lnclud,

CIVIL WAR IN PORTUGAL.
Manucl's Supporters Have Control of
South-Nine-tent of Population
of North Royalists.

Vigo, Spain, July l2.-Captaln Cou-
ceiro, commanding the Portuguese
royalist forces is being reinforced al
most hourly. 1t is estimated he has
l,5O0 well armed men under him today,
not counting the scattered bands of
irrcgulars who swarm all over nor
thern Portugal.
There is no longer any question on
that the republicans have full fleg-
ed civil war on their hands. They re-
tain control of the south but the north
is nine-tenths royalist. In actual bat
tie the republicans are the stronger
but the rOyalsts probably can contln-
ue Il guerilla struggle indefinate.y.
The gravest danger is that Portu-
gal will split into two countries which
must ultimately result in its national
dis;.: rgration.

Issue Over Panama Canal.

The lines were drawn last night
for great diplomatic struggle be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain over the question of whether
this country may discriminate in
favor Of American vessels in the adj
nlinistratiCn of the Panama Canal.
The wordy war may terminate in
the submission OF the question to
The Hague tribunal
A series Of diplomatic and lCgis-
lativc conferences yesterday develop
cd the fact that the forces III the
American government which favor al
lowing American ships free passage
through the canal are in control.
These forces take the position that
there is nothing in the llay-Paunce-
fote treaty, under which the canal
was built, TO prevent this 2onccss-
ion.
While it is true that Great Brit
ain occupies position of exception
al interest and power in regard to
any isihmian canal by reason Of her
ancient undertaking Of joint control
with the United States, it seems GER
tain that any representation the
British government may make will
be supported by Germany and France
and perhaps other European pow
ers. The matter OF moment is how
far those powers may go to sustain
4 protest against the proposed con-
troll OF the Panama Canal by the
United States.
