Umbrella Makers Give Up Watches
and Rings to Prolong Contest.
An unusual exhibition of steadfast-
ness Of purpose was shown in New
York city a few days ago. When the
striking umbrella handle and stick
makers gathered for their daily confer
ence it seemed probable that they
would recede from their demand for
forty nine hour week and % per
cent wage increase to accept the fifty
three hour week that has been offered
A resolution to this effect had been
adopted the day before
Meyer Abrahamson. strike leader
took the platform and said:
Are we going to stand by that reso-
luton? Are we going to back down
after our long fight? Are we going to
give in just because we are low In
funds?"
One of the strikers walked up to the
platform and handed Abrahamson a
pair of gold trimmed spectacles.
Pawn these" he said maybe it
will help"
Immediately the majority Of the
strikers rushed toward the platform
and, catching the spirit of the first
mans move. tossed watches, rings,
scarfpins and other articles of iewelry
at AbrahamSon's feet. Some Of the
men ran out. went to their homes and
brought back jewels belonging to their
wives. The hall was in an uproar for
more than an hour. and the glittering
contributions lay in piles on the plat
form.
When the excitement was over
Abrahamson placed the stuff in hat
and took it to a pawnshop, the owner
Of which passed out $1,000.
The strikers then decided to hold out
until their demands are granted.

EXPECT ALIEN INFLUX
California Preparing For immigration
Through the Canal.

With the opening of the Panama
canal the far western states expect a
stream of immigrants from Europe
and Asia That social and economic
problems will present themselves 81
multaneously with this alien COLOMBIA
sion is inevitable. The west however,
profiting by eastern experience. began
definite plans for q program of diStr-
button and oversight long before the
iSthmus was cut.
California particularly has been pre-
pairing for her future citizens First
the legislature passed the 'anti-ulien
land BILL" directed especially againnt
Japanese immigrants and intended To
protect the native American farmer
from foreign competition.
So much controversy was excited by
this law that second important meas
ure dealing with immigration In Cali
fornia has been somewhat overlooked.
This was the creation Of a commission
of immigration and housing
The bill authorizing the commission
was so framed as to include an inf
mite number of powers and duties. 1t
ranges in scope from so specific mat
ter as Investigating the relation ex-
listing between immigrant and steam
ship and railway ticket agents. hotel
runners. cabmen, baggagemen and
pawnbrokers' to considering and de-
vising means to promote the welfare
of the state"
Roughly speaking. however. the func-
tions Of the commission may be group
ed under four heads:
To provide better industrial oppor-
tunities for arriving immigrants.
To extend educational opportunities
to both adult and minor aliens
To secure legal protection for immi-
grants.
To obtain better housing accommo-
dations for foreigners in the city and

THE CURIOUS Ax0LOTL.
Its Regular JekyIl and Hyde Sort Of
Reptile.

Persons of only ordinary powers OF
observation know that tadpoles become
frogs. This process of transformation
is one of the most interesting Of the
many curious things that go on about
us every day. The case Of the tadpole
and frog is mentioned that the reader
may more easily understand reptile
that is found in southern California
and Mexico.
There are several varieties OF sala-
mandrine reptiles in North America. all
of them perfectly harmless. One in
particular lives In the desert regions of
the southwest. The Mexicans call it
the axolotl. 1t is perhaps the most
curious of all reptiles. 1t is a light
gray or pure white translucent reptile
about seven inches in length. 1t lives
in lakes and ponds. breathes through
gills just back of the front legs. has
long tail and caudal fins above and
below that extend its entire length and
four stout legs. with which it creeps
about the bottom of the pond
In the region where these reptiles
live long continued droughts are COM
mon. Then the ponds and lakes dry
up. AS the water falls evaporation be-
gins. Instinct warns the axolotl that
there will shortly be no water. and he
makes preparation for a terrestrial
life. The gills disappear. and he comes
to the surface for mir just as tadpole
does when he is about to become a
frog. AS the water grows shallower
the axolotl loses portion of his tail
sheds his caudal fms. changes from
white to brown with gray spots and
when the water is quite gone takes to
the sand hills and becomes q spotted
salamander.
The most remarkable thing about it
all is that when the water supply is
not exhausted he lives his entire life
as an axolotl and never tries to become
a spotted salamander BY experiment
tation an axootl has been made to un-
dergo almost complete transformation
and then has been turned back into an
axolotl again Youths Companion.

WEIRD TALE OF THE SEA.
When Death Was Cheated by Ropes
End In a Raging Gale.

Emo IN a na9iN9 Sd'o'
Few living men lrive ever looked
death so square in the face as GER
tain Captain Hodson who was for
years connected with the customs
service at Honolulu Before that he
was shipmaster. and the remarkable
adventure of which Ne was the hero
occurred while he was in command OF
a schooner that traded in the Pacific.
On this occasion the vessel WAS Sev
eral days out from land. in the midst
of the ocean. when il WAS uvertaken
by severe gale and thick weather.
For a time Captain Hodson tried TO
keep the schooner's head up into the
wind, but the storm became SO violent
that there was nothing for it but TO
run before the gale. He brought the
vessel about and. pursued by a heavy
following sea, scudded it under almost
bare poles TO the northward
The captain himself stood by the
wheel to give the helmsman direc-
tions. The rest of the crew, having
made everything as secure as possible
were crouched in the lee Of the deck
house.
A flaw in the wind took the schooner
aback fer a moment. and in that in.
stant a tremendous wave that was fol
lowing close behind mounted oger the
bulwarks and swept several feet deep
from stern to bow.
Every one but the captain had some
thing at hand to cling to, although the
wave wrenched the man at the wheel
from his hold and threw him on his
face However, he brought up against
the deck house and scrambled to his
feet just in time TO see the rushing
water carry Captain Hodson over
board
Hodson's case was as nearly hope
less as it could well be. for it was. of
course. quite impossible to put out a
boat in such q sea or even TO bring the
schooner about to pick him up. But at
the very moment that the catastrophe
happened the ropes that held the gatr
of the foreniaSt in place broke and let
the stick drop to the deck. One end
hung out over the side of the schoon-
err and several broken ropes dangled
from It, AS Captain Hodson swept by
these rope ends struck him on the
head lnstinctively he seized one OF
them and cung to it with desperation.
The schooner tore on through the
water. and her master at the end OF
the dangling rope was drawn in close
under her bulwarks and dragged along
through the waves. He could not have
long withstood. this sort of treatment.
for the sea beat him about fiercely and
flung him again and again against the
side Of the vessel.
But presently gust of wind lurch-
ed the schooner we'll over. her lee rail
plunged beneath the water, and at the
same instant another wave picked the
captain up and tossed him spra wing
on the sloping deck. Battered as he
was he had enough strength left to
seize the standing rigging and cling to
it. while the water poured back again
into the sea.
The hemsman had seen Captain
Hodson swept away to death, as he
firmly believed. and his astonishment
at seeing him back again on deck may
be imagined. Hodson was not seri-
ousIy injured by his experience. and
his vessel weathered the storm and
brought her cargo safe into port
