MANILA A MODEL FOR CHINA
New Republic VIII Be Kept Busy
Widening and Cleaning
Her Streets.

Pekin, China.-The new republic OF
China indeed will have to make some
dizzy strides in civic improvements
to bring her streets UP to the stand
ard set by more modern cities else
where throughout the world. The
cities Of China are notorious to trav-
elers for their o and un
cleanliness. Often they are more
crooked than the meander of a noun
tain stream, and are fit for pedestrian
traffic only. This condition prevails
to more or less extent in all Asiatic
cities, and when we occupied Manila
a similar condition confronted us. For
a long time our officials tried to be
content with the crooked streets, but
1t was known that sooner or later
they must be widened, Strengthened,
and otherwise improved. Manila has
many streets as dark, narrow and
irregular as any to be found in Can

Tanbark as a Fuel,

Perhaps the most important of
waste fuels in the United States has
been spent tanbark. A rough estimate
would indicate that this material gen
Grated a few years ago an amount of
steam that would have otherwise re-
quired the yearly consumption of
about 100000 tons of high grade coal.
Yet this valuable fuel was at one time
considered a mere detriment and an
expense to the leather industry. 1t
was disposed Of by dumping it into
rivers, filling in waste ground and by
making roads with 1t, often necessitat-
ing the paying out of large sums for
It's disposition. This strikingly illus
trates a case Of how the improvement
of a furnace converted a hitherto sup
posed combustible into a valuable
waste fuel of the auto-combustible
class, and shows how an enormous
waste was converted into an equally
great economy. - Engineering Maya

MUNICHS NEW zoo
Animals Kept Under Conditions Of
Natural State.
Park Located In BavarIa's Capital City
New Feature Of Gardens Is the
Terrace Where Lions and
Tigers Roam.

Munich, Bavaria.-A noteworthy
geological garden has of late been
added to the many interesting sights
of Munich, the capital of Bavaria.
The animals will be kept as far as pos
sible under the conditions Of their
natural state. This park will be q
practical combination of technical
skill and artistic beauty.
To the south of the city, where the
air Is laden with the perfumes Of the
great forests which cover the hills and
dales of the Bavarian Alps, and on
the banks of the River Isar, which
rushes down foaming and roaring
from the mountains, in still solitude
may be found the most beautiful land
scape in the environs of Munich. Pine
trees, hundreds of years old, together
with silver birches and knotty will
lows and poplars, form a forest, and
beyond farstretching green meadows
rises a mighty mountain terrace, at
the foot of which are clear, bubbling
springs.
This charming spot was chosen for
the laying out of a geological garden
ten years ago, when it's present direc-
tor, Lieut-Col. MANI, commenced the
preliminary work. A few years later
the well known architect, Prof. Eman-
uel Won Seidl, took over the artistic
and architectural part of the work.
The park has now been opened to the
public for the last two years, not,
however, without having found much
trouble and opposition.
Coming to an open space in the
woods a herd of buffaloes Is found.
Further along are stays from the
mountains of Asia and wild bears from
the forests of Europe and India.
In close vicinity of the buffaloes
from America are kept specimens Of
the European bison from the swamps
Of Russia, the zebra and antelope
from India, while swimming birds from
all parts of the world are on the lakes
and black swans, pelicans and gulls
and many other kinds Of fancy water
fowl.

scape has been preserved everywhere,

MEMORY
Since Leaving Of Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.
Il am nearly seventy years old and
did not know that coffee was the
of the stomach and heart trou-
BILE l suffered from for many years,
until about four years ago." writes a
Kansas woman.
"a kind neighbor induced me to
quit coffee and try Postum. / had

greatly reduced in flesh. After using
Postum a little while l found myself
improving. My heart beats became
regular and now / seldom ever no

prison cells, he says, are dark, small,
damp, filthy and infested with vermin.
In them men contract rheumatism and
go out crippled for life. Into none
of the cells on the lower tiers has a

Parliamentary Suspension.

Sir Henry Lucy drops a hint from
the Gross Benches" in the Observer
as to the Suspension" Of members Of
the house-and the v%agueness Of the
penalty. Can it be true that members
get themselves named and suspended
on purpose to achieve a compulsory
holiday? Eight pounds a week will
make for modest comfort at Brighton
or Eastbourne. The member of par
lament is paid whether he is in the
house or at Margate or In the Clock
Tower. Budapest has a more drastic
way. If the member is suspended he
is fined 16 shillings a day. That
teaches him to behave. Now that we
pay our representatives we might
make payment conditional on their
representing us in the proper place

WHALES ESCORT BIG SHIP
Line ResembIed Monster Sea
Serpent, Says Captain.

New York.-Captain Tarnow of a
huge ocean liner has seen the big
school Of whales observed by SO many
other ships this spring, south of Scot
land lightship. The liner has just ar
rived here from the West Indies.
At two bells a line of long black OBJ
1ects rising and falling on the surface
of the sea was made out. Strung to-
gether, the g~listening bodies looked a
monster about 1000 feet long. They
were only 400 yards from the ship.
AS Captain Tarnow, who had been
called to the bridge, was sending for
the steamers photographer, the SEEM
ing sea serpent broke up into an un-
counted number of whales. Captain
Tarnow had never seen whales so
near New York before.

MAN HAD HEART EXPOSED
Joseph Carey, Unique to Medical Pro-
fession, Passes Away in
Canada.

st. John, N. B.-Joseph Carey, whose
case was regarded as unique by the
medical profession, died here recently.
Carey underwent an operation in Bos-
ton six years ago for lung trouble and
part of the left lung was removed. In
performing the operation it was found
necessary to remove several of the
ribs, leaving the heart partly exposed.
The beats of the heart could be seer
plainly through the thin tissues which
covered that organ and many physi-
clans took advantage of the opportu-
nifty to study it's action while at It's
accustomed work in the body of a liv-
ing man.
Carey recovered his usual health
following the operation and had
worked daily the last four years.
