Remarks Misinterpreted.

The Interpretation put on the re-
marks Of the Brazilian Ambassador,
Senior Da Cana, at the dinner given
by the Dominion Minister Of Agri-
culture last night, that the mediation
of the A b c countries was initiated
or, at least, suggested, by the admin
istration in Washington. proves to be
wholly without foundation. 1t may be
stated upon the highest authority that
the good offices of the A B G coun-
tries were rendered by their diplomatic
representatives in Washington solely
upon their own initiative and that any
other construction put upon the re-
marks Of the ambassador was due to
an entire misunderstanding Of his
meaning.
Incidentally, 1t may be we'll to cor
rect an impression which has been
somewhat general in Washington ana
has even reached here that the French
Ambassador. NJ. Jusserand, first sug-
gested such mediation. While IL Is
true that the French Ambassador well
coined as did probably most OF the
diplomats In Washington, the efforts
of the A B countries to avert war,
the report that he had part in initiat-
ing the movement has no foundation
in fact.
BY reports received here this even
ing it is known that Jose Nasconcelos
will not come to Niagara Falls. rms
leads to the suspicion that the entire
story, which was inspired by the Con-
stitutionalist junta, in Washington,
was. as a distinguished diplomat put
il here tonight. comparable to the
course of a man who. knowing full
well that he will not be invited to
party. goes about declaring that IT Is
useless TO invite him for the reason
that he will not accept.

Wilson's Approval Indicated.
And further indication OF the Presi

The entente between the American

propriated $500 for the reintroduction Of beaver, and with this and subse- queht appropriations and the aid of private contributions some s4 animals were turned loose. By 1908 there were about 150 animals in the Adirondacks and since then they have not only i'm creased but spread to other localities a few even being found in northern New Jersey, although these may have been quietly introduced.''
 Dr. Lucas punctures the popular fal- lacy that the beaver uses his tail as a trowel or in the transportation of his building materials, as well as the less widely held belief that large num- bers of the animals unite fo cut down large trees. fsThose who know the ani- nal best, says the director Took up- on the canals constructed for the transportation Of food supplies as the most remarkable of all his undertak- tngs. Man, with the aid of steam and electricity, excavafes the Suez and Panama Canals, but the beaver, a creature weighing on an average 30 or 70 pounds, with no tools except teeth and pawss digs trenches 150 to 750 feet long and a yard wide and deep. Fur ther than this. in cases where the ground slopes rapidly. the beaver will erect dam after dams and dig canal after canal, until by succession Of steplike levels. the needed food is ob- tained.

WHEAT TO DO WITH MESQUITE.
San Antonio seea Valuable Wood in

That mesquite timber, contrary to the general opinion, may 9aave a. con siderable commercial value. is the the ory which the Industrial League Dtv1s- ion of the San Antonio Chamber Of Commerce purposes to investigates The mesquite, half tree, half shrub, grow ing in dense thickets and so gnarled that it's wood has hitherto been thought useless for anything but pr1na- itive fences and posts abounds every where in the Southwest; and only re- gently has there been evidence that it may have commercial possibdl ties bT. Jesse ". Hale of FowIerton, Texas, has experimented with the wood Tor ca'0- inet work and has found that 1t takes a, remarkable polish and can be made up into sets of furniture which conn pares favora:bay with the best factory made furniture on the market He has urged on the San Antonio Chamher Of Commerce the establishmaent of fur nfture factories to be supplied by the rnesquite forests in the valley of the Trio. with the object of establishing d distinct type of fs1rniture which should become as widely known as the mission style and should be a pro- duct in some way characteristic of San. gAmtorio.
 It fs said that some Iong-sig ghted Americans in Northern Mexico had been shipping m mesquite timber to. Michigan furniture factories for sew eraI years befOEG the E6VQ1It1On &HdlL V ed. and that the market was becom- ing well estaElished. San Antonio rnesuuite enthusiasts think that they ought to be able to cut prices on any Eastern firm on account of the near ness of a very ext enstve supply of tho timber. and the fact that after a com paratively short railroad haul to Aran- sas Pass the product could be shipped to eastern cities by water Not only

 Luther Burbank announced several years ago that some day he was going to get around to the mesquite and sec what he could do with it to make it a wood of real value, but as yet he has been too busy with other things. From the Imperial Valley, California, reports. have come of a. man who has grown mesquite seven feet high instead of the three or four feet which it is usual height but for some reason on-perhaps because he has been unable to make the wood less gnarIy--he has done lit tie toward making 1t available for cab met uses. That the thing can be done however, is now fairly well establish ed and it seems clear thai within few years the Southwest will have tap ped another source of wealth.

SILK HAT sAvED THE BEAVER. New Museum Gaoup Moves pr. Lucas
 to Faunal "Reminiscences

The corupletion of a beaver group at the American Museum of Natural His tor5z s@the occasior for the publ1ca'- ton in the current number of The American Museum Journal of a popu- lar article in which Director Frederic A Lucas tells how the silk hat saves the whole beaver family from exterrn- nation. The invention of that style of headgear-it became popular in Paris about 1S2@was too late to save the European beaver, but 1t gave 9 much-needed respite, to his American cousins, of which there arc four or i've geographic races or sub-species-
 The connection may seem obscure to those who do not know that from the year HOO up to the early part of fhe last century the standard material for mems hats was beaver fur. Even as late as 1854 the Hudson's Bay Com pany disposed Of no fewer than 5O9,- 24o skins, although that number prob ably represented the accumnlations Of several years. The result of the change in fashion was that the price of beaver skins declined to a point at which trapping the beaver was no longer profitable and Gor a time 1t multiplied exceedingly. Tn 1869 skins were ofrered by the bale as low as 25 cents each.

With proper restrictions, the natural increase of a beaver colony would Yield a stated number of skins annual ly, the chief care necessary being to plant trees to provide a food supply.

 s The Gotham Trial.
 Tn the trial Of charles H Gorhann New Fairfield ex-tax collector, the fact that the bonds which MT. Gorhams ibondsInen gave as surety for him were not recorded until October 13 of last year when the alleged shortages were discovered and two years after Mir Gorham relinquished the off1c. causing considerable shortage
 The fact was also brought out that
 MT. Gorham never took the oath of office as tax collector and the defense will claim that he cannot be held Ita-
 ble for violation of the oath of of flee. Monday afternoon the prosecu- ton placed six witnesses on the stand
 and they all testified that they had paid their taxes to MT Gorham and that they had received bills for the came taxes when the new collec- tor took office. They showed the re- ceipts The defense will admit that l this money was paid to MT. zGorham
 and will ask the state to prove that
 this money was not paid over to the town treasurer. An investigation of | the records has brought to light the
 fact that the methods of bookkeep- ing were bad and it will be the con
 tention Of the defense that if any dis
 crepancy is found between the amount
 as shown on the books to have been
 paid -Ndr. Gotham and the amount 1 that the town treaSurer's books sh0w as having been turned over, this ap- l parent shortage was due to bad book
 keeping and not to the deliberate re-
 taining of money by MT. Gorham. The
 defense will claim that the apparent l shortage in MT. Gorham's accounts
 should not be the subject of a crirn-
 inaI action and that if such a short age is found the town should bring a
 civil suit for recovery of the short l age.
