Ioqarithm TercentenarY.

London, jan 2O.-The Royal Society
of Edinburgh is forming a provisional
committee to consider how the tercen-
tenary Of logarithms which occurs in
1914, can best be celebrated. John
Napiers "Mirifici Logarithmorum Can
onis Descriptio" having been publish
ed in 1914. It's appearance has been
considered by many as an event in the
history of British science second only
to the appearance Of Newton's "Prin-
cipia." The work is small sized
quarto containing fifty-seven pages of
explanatory matter and ninety pages
Of tables. Napier's table gives the To-
garithms of sines for every minute to
seven figures, and modern investiga-
ton has shown that 1-2.71S2S1S2S is the
base, although Napier and the early
calculators apparently did not under
stand the connection between loga-
rithms and opponents.

Alliance at Current Topics and Events

Washington, Jan. 20.-Taking it all
in all Washington had a big year in
the last twelve months. Fortune has
been good to it's business men, and few
err are complaining of hard times. If
you are visitor to the national capital
and get into a confidential confab with
a Washngtonian and incidentally men
ton the big crop yield with which the
United States has been gifted he will
tell you Of another large crop, 1.-THE har-
vest of Washington"
Bonanza farming in the great prairie
states does not hold candle to the
crop raised in the Capital City. Per-
haps you did not know they raised
crops in Washington. But they do.
The crop that is harvested here and is
worth so many millions Of dollars an
nually is that of sightseers. During
the twelve months of last year, so fig
ures at the Union depot show, there
were about 100000 visitors at Wash
ually dropping in. Many more are ex-
pected this year, as the inaugural cere-
monies alone will attract thousands.
1t is estimated that the average sight
seer in Washington spends So, so on
that basis Washington's annual crop Of
tourists Is worth 100000 to $9,00O,-
0OO
Probably it is because every person
in the United States feels he is part
owner of Washington that all are de-
sirous of visiting the city. In any
event, Washington, with a population
of 100000, is better city so far as
transportation companies are concern
ed than any other city of similar size
in the country. 1t compares favorably
with the much larger cities of the east.

That, of course was exemplary since
Stingaree had never been fool, but it
was something more and rarer.
At last there came to Sydney a per-
son more capable of an acute appre-
citation of the heroic villain than his
most ardent admirer on the spot. Lu-
cius Brady was long haired Irish
man of letters, bard and bOOkwOrm,
rebel and reviewer. In his ample lei
sure he was also the most enthusiastic
criminOlogist in London, and as presl-
dent of an exceedingly esoteric society
for the cultivation of criminals, even
from London did he come for pre-
arranged series of interviews with the
last and the most distinguished of all
the buShrangers.
It was to Lucius Brady, his bioSra-
pher to be. that Stingaree contided the
data of all his deeds.
One day late in the afternoon as
Lucius Brady was beaming on him
through his spectacles and indulging in
an incisive criticism on the champagne
at Government House Stingaree quiet
" carroted him. A gag was in all
readiness, likewise strips of coarse
sheeting torn up for the purpose in the
night. Black in the face. but with

Nursery Cars on Trains.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Special cars with
nurseries for babies were proposed as
an addition to the equipment of over
land and limited railroad trains at a
meeting of passenger agents of west

1t was suggested that the smoker,

special place for babies and their
mothers or nurses.

PROLOGUE,

Miss Bouverie, a companion to Mrs
Clarkson on an Australian ranch
ceases singing when a dapper young
man walks into the ranch house. He
politely bids her sing more, while he
plays. Her voice receives his highest
commentator. Before leaving he prom
Uses to be at Mrs. Clarkson's concert,
which Sir Julian Crum, the celebrated
English musical authority, is to attend.
In due course the great night came
around, but Hilda Bouverie looked for
her hero in vain. Mrs. ClarksOn and
some of the others had done their part
when Stingaree appeared on the stage
leveling brace of revolvers at the as
sembly. He insinuatingly requests
Mrs. Clarkson to sing. A revolver is
passed unobserved to Hilda by the sta
ton overseer. At the assembly Hilda
recognizes her hero. Stingaree insinu-
atingly requests Mrs. Clarkson to sing
again. She refuses. He then calls
Hilda, and Sir Julian is forced to play
for her. Sir Julian is surprised at the
quality Of Hildas voice and offers to
make career for her.
Oswald Melvin, youthful son Of a
widow, keeper of a music shop, wor-
SHIPPED Stingaree to a dangerous de-
gree The story Of customer plays
on the boys imagination. The customer
proves to be Stingaree, who on a sec
ond visit promises the boys mother,
who fears Oswald had come to the
worst, to save the foolish youth from
his villain worshiping. Stingaree finds
Oswald on the main road, and the
bandit gives him an exhibition of the
risks Of sticking up" a stage coach,
while the boy in hiding admiringly
looks on. Oswald is caught and ac-
cused Of the holdup. In a spirit of
bravado, seeking notoriety, he accepts
the blame. His Frustrated mother is
taken for CONSIGNMENT to the bishops
lodge, where Stingaree journeys after
learning of the boys arrest. He sees
the bishop an tells why he has come.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.

MEXICAN REBEL CHIEF
 REPLIES TO QUESTIONS

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. - The sit uation in Mexico especially in the Northern States, IS illumined by the following replies made recently by Gen. Carranza, the Constitutionalist leader, in answer to questions pro- pounded by an Eastern newspaper.
 l. How many men are there under arms in the Constitutionalist army?
 The Constitutionalist army has more than eighty thousand men, well organized, under arms.
 ?. What States or parts of States are under control of the Constitution alist forces?
 With the exception of Yucatan, Chia- pas and Oaxaca, all the States, other than a few fortified cities, are con- trolled or under invasion by the Con- stitutionalist forces.
 3. What reasons exist why the Unit ed States should recognize the COnsti- tutionalist government as a de facto government?
 The United States should recognize the Constitutionalists because they are the legal constitutional faction, and as such possess a de facto control over the greater part of the national ter ritory; and, moreover, because the campaign commenced by Carranza as the Constitutional Governor of the State of Coahuila will be continued with renewed vigor to enforce the law and to overthrow the usurpers who have taken violent possession of the Government
 4. What are the prospects of sue cess of the campaign?
 No better prospects could be had than when the entire nation has re- sponded to our call, and, eight months of fierce struggle, We have managed to organize very powerful army, that has been achieving victory after vic tory, and whose men, all volunteers, have been armed with implements of war that have been captured from the supporters of the spurious Government of Huerta Besides, the Constitution alist movement is sanctioned by the legality and justice on which it is based, as we'll as on the opinion of the entire nation.

 "McManigal has been in poor health for some time," Fredericks said, "and he has been taken out of jail on the ad- vice of a physician"
