"RoPE" ro2sEsHoEs.

The manufacture of "ropc" horse
shoes in Germany is now flourish
ing business and all who have used
the new invention are highly pleased
with it. The shoe is described as
light and comfortable for the horse,
that they prevent horses from slip
ping, and that they break the con-
cussion and ,lcadcn the sound of the
hoof. In addition to the plain tarred
rope horseshocs there are shoes in
which rope interviewer with wire,
wood, rubber, copper, wirework and
rush is nsed. These are heavier and
somewhat more expensive and less
practical than the plain rope shoes,
and, therefore, have not become SO
well established.

Wonderful Rain Tree.

That is wonderful tree which
hourishes on Fierro, one of the larger
Islands Of the Canary group. Fierro
island Is so dry that not even a small
rivulet Is to be found on it, and for
that absence Of water curious COM
nensation is made by nature in provid-
ing tree such as Is not found else
where.
The leaves OF this tree are long and
narrow and they remain green the
year through. The gentle mystery of
this tree, as travellers assure US, Is a
cloud that hoycrs over it constantly,
and condensing into water, saturateG
the leaves, from which the moisture
drops continually and keeps the els.
terms which are in excavations beneath
them always well filed with water.
These rain trees are few on the island,
which. It is said, accounts for It's
sparse population.

StarIincs as Planters.

Starlings We're first noticed focking
up Cramond island, short distance
from Edinburgh in unusual numbers
in the autumn Of 1899 and they contin-
ued TO frequent the place for some
years until, as is their habit, they de-
serted it for a fresher and cleaner
spot.
A recent visit to the island showed
q remarkable after result of the star
lings' visit. In the small plantation.
which consisted Of Scots fir trees of
stunted growth, there Is now strong
showing of bourtree bushes. The star
lings feed greedily on the berries Of
the bourtrea and from the seeds there
Is now grown up crop Of trees intro
duced by the agency OF the starlings.-

SHE SAW HIM KILLED
Missionaries VIII Endcavor to Pro-
tect the Woman, Aided by Oregon
Authorities, but Fear Sho VIII Die
a Violent Death.

San Francisco, Cal-Mssionaries
who are working among the Chinese
in Portland, Ore. and the local au-
thorities are facing a problem they
are finding hard to solve. 1t Is the
protection of Oh Sen, 4 Chinese slave
girl. when she shall have been re-
leased from custody after testifying
against two members of the powerful
Hop Sing Tong. They are facing
death for killing young Chinaman
of modern ideas who tried to rescue
the girl from slavery.
Members of their band have threat
ened the girls life and declare that
some day and somewhere no matter
what the authorities may do high
binder will reach OF Sen and she will
be slain. The Hop Sings have
branches wherever there are Chi
nese settlements, and 1t is known they
will protect members and take ven
geance on anyone who transgresses
their code.
Oh Sen was a slave of Wong 81
Sam, whom she describes as a high
binder and Ratchet man. On the
witness stand she asserted that fire.
quently members Of the Hop Sing
Tong gathered in his room and talked
over assaults and murders. Seid Wah
Bing was her friend and sweetheart.
He aimed to get her away from her
life Of slavery. Members Of the Hop
Sing Tong learned Of his attentions
and finally decided he must die. She
warned Seid, but he laughed and said
he was not afraid.

Musical Chicks,

A farmer near the town of Sunbury,
Pa, has brood OF Rhode Island Red
chicks that he claims are musical.
Several weeks ago friend presented
to him a setting Of eggs from his pet
hen. On his way home the farmer
stopped at another friends house, and
while he was being entertained the
eggs, in shoe box, were placed on the
piano. The friend played several Sc
lections during the evening. Going
home, the farmer set the eggs under
a Plymouth Rock biddy, and twelve
chickens were Matched. Now that
they have grown big enough to make
a noise, each has peep" that makes
complete note. When the entire
twelve make noise ii sounds like
running the musical scale.-Ixchange,

formation the principles Of building
construction that were in vogue nearly
5000 years B. c.
The graves OF the early Egyptians
were always we'll provided with such
necessaries as were thought essential
for the spirit of the departed when it
again materialzed. Consequently, the
relics from Tarkhan include headrests
(scme of them carved out OF trees
trained specially into peculiar shapes),
sandals, large jars of food, and various
vessels OF gypsum and semitranspar-
ent alabastar. Some of the vases bear
the name of Mena. the earliest known
Egyptian king. They are considered
by some experts to be tribute CORE
spending to the modern floral wreath.
Evidence is also provided OF the lack
of historical sentiment in the Roman
occupants of Egypt by numerous exam
piles of inscribed Egyptian tablets that
have been used as hearth stones, door
lintels, and mill stones. There is also
ample evidence of the belief that sac
rilege among the tombs was more COM
mon in the earlier periods OF Egyptian
history than in later periods.

Oriain Of = Name.

The Tenderloin distrietin New York
derived its name In THIS way: Within
its limits are many gambling houses
and cther disreputable resorts. About
80 years ago. when Capt Alexander
Williams Of the police department was
transferred from down town precinct
to the precinct bounded by Fourth ave-
nue., Sixth avenue. Twenty-third and
Twenty-fourth streets. he anticipated
some choice pickings. and remarked:
For long time have been accus.
toned to round steak. but hereafter |.
shall have plenty of tenderloln." The
name seemed 10 hit the popular fancy,
and from th?t period the district came
to be known as the Tenderloin.

Wong and Leo Soon Attacked Him.

and after cutting him to pieces placed
the dismembered body in OF Sens
trunk and compelled her to check the
remains to Seattle. Wash, after being
an eye witness to the crime.
For several days Oh Sen remained
in hiding with Wong 81 Sam. When
the trunk was found with her name
upon It she was ordered to Canada,
At Billings. Mcnt.. she was ordered
placed under arrest and taken bac,t
TO Portland. At first she refused to
make statement Then she tried
to commit suicide. stating she had
been warned that il she testified in

Later she was told that the crime
would be fixed upon her if she did
not tell all she knew.

able the authorities will use her to
identity other highbinders in Port

LONGEVITY Of Birds.

Longevity Of Birds.
II used to be contended that ravens
lived longer than any other species Of
birds. and it was said that their age
frequently exceeded century. Re.
cent studies OF the subject indicate
that no authentic instance Of raven
surprising seventy years OF age Is OF
record. But parrots have been known
to attain an age Of one hundred years.
There Is record OF q golden eagle
which died at Schoenbrun at the age
OF IFS years. Another golden eagle
was kept In the tower OF London for
ninety years. A third died at Vienna
1oi years old. Geese and swans are
tenacious Of life, and extraordinary
accounts exist OF the great age they
have attained. Button and other an.
thOrities have credited them with
eighty and one hundred years OF life.
