New York I'll
How the British warships which
We're p%atrolling the Atlantic in the vi
cinity of New York a few weeks ago
we're coaled and provisioned has been
much Of g, mystery to many persons.
It was generally thought that when
the coal in the bunker ran low the
cruisers would I'll to Halifax or to
Hamilton, Bermuda, or perhaps to
Kingston. Jamaica, and take on a
| fresh supply and at the same time
get fresh provisions and water. some
| times this was done, but generally
these warships relied on the CONNER
| cial vessels that left this port.
Every steamer at that time that
| went to sea had much more coal on
| board than it required to get to its
nome port. Generally this coal vas
| in bags and carried on the deck. Mt
a British steamer left that did not
| have an excess of coal and lots OF
fresh provisions. As soon as these
| vessels got to sea out OF sight Of land
the Suffolk. Berwick. Essex or some
other British cruiser would draw near
and the coal and provisions would
be transferred. Now that +he North
Atlantic is not patrolied SO carefully
this work is 10 longer necessary.
The German cruisers TOO drew sup
plies from New York. Several vessels
left here loaded with coal and sup
plies which were transferred at sea,
and often barSes loaded with coal left
here under tow but this work be
cane dangerous because the british
watchers 0 % learned what was be
ing done, and not a tow OF barges
left here that was not followed by q
British cruiser until the tow had put
into Norfolk or some other port along
the coast.

DO I see it, or do l only think |

viduaI with red nose as ne emerged
from u grog shop near the u

His dim blue eyes fastened upon an
especially able and speedy specimen
of the rabbitus cottontailus, which
swept into view from the court house

Of the Market House.
Trailing after the quarry WAS a
crowd Of women. men and boys. Like
Diana Of the chase the women ran
after the rabbit at a pace that made
his hind legs pass his front legs III
his haste to get away.
Rabbits are not usually given to
seeking the white lights, but this par
ticular bunny had an enterprisinS
spirit and an Investigating turn Of
mind. Maybe he thought he stood as
good q chance on Delaware street as
he did III the woods or fields with the
hunting season on. for accidents Will

Everything had gone right until he
decided to give the court house the
up~-and-down. With palpitating nose
and nonchalant gait he made the cir
cult of it, but when he entered the
playground he was discovered. A
blade Of grass proved a pood hiding
place. The women s~cheeche3, the
boys yelled, and with every lope Of
| the rabbit the parade grew. He de-
cidsd that the Market House was the
place for him, but some one heayed a
| sack at him.
He swung into high speed and col
lided with W. city dogs, which, never
having met a rabbit personally, de-
clined TO recognize him. But, aside
from this, he was not neglected.

ipDcrS OF the World.

Paris is believed to have nearly 200
cases OF leprosy. Russia probably has
moro lepers than any other European
country. Japan, according 10 official
statistics. had about 10000 cases i'll
1908. IN Madagascar alone 5000
leperS are segregated, but Il much lar
ger number are said to be still at lib
erty. There are about 500 lepers in
the United States. Brazil is believed
TO have not less than 5000, and prob
ably twice that number. Australia
probably twice that number. Uru-
quay and Paraguay rave fully 1000.
, Australia, New Zealand and small
adjacent islands report in all
about 10 cases. lightweight
Of which are in asylums in Queensland
and New South Wales. Fiji has a con-
siderable number, and most of the
principal islands of Polynesia are ser
iously affected. Only a few of them
can be indicated here. New Caledonia
reports 675 cases, while Loyalty is
lands are decidedly leprous. In the
lovely MarquesaS, onc-fifth Of the pop
ulation are believed to be lepers, in
GLIDING many Europeans. Penrhyn
island, which has it's own settlement is
said to have been infected by q leper
from Molokai.
The Hawaiian group is the best
known. and possibly the worst in
infected. OF the Pacific islands.
Brought in by Chinese Immigrants
some sixty years ago, the disease
found c%ongenial soil in the constitu-
ton and habits Of the Hawaiian peo-
pie, and spread With remarkable rap
