r. N. SMITH WILL ENLIST cAPl-
ToL IN HIS WATER FRONT
PROJECT

OAKLAND, May 20. = Coincident
with the departure of F. M. Smith for
the east, where il is said he will en-
list financial aid for the proposed
$5.000,000 water front improvements
for Oakland harbor, appeared j. II.
Thompson, Belfast shipbuilder, with
plans for a $4,000 600 shipbuilding yard
for Oakland. Thompson. it is under
stood, is backed by syndicate of Irish
and English capitalists.
Following a private conference in
the mayors office this afternoon be-
tween Captain Thompson and Mayor
Davie and the city commissioners, a
tour was made of the city for the pur-
pose of selecting an adequate site.
Particular attention was paid to the
strip of land between the Western Pa
cific and Southern Pacific moles,
which, it is said, could be turned into
a suitable location for such plant
as contemplated by Captain Thomp-
son at a comparatively small cost.
Captain Thompson would give no
intimation of his financial hackers
other than to says that he would re-
port to his interests on his return to
Belfast. He made detailed investi-
cation of various sites during the
afternoon and paid especial attention
to the possibility of reclaiming tide
land holdings adjacent to the several
sites which might be used for ex-
tensive shops and construction head
quarters.

JAPANESE FEAR FOXES,

The Japanese have many curious super
! stitions about animals, the chief among
which is their belief in the supernatural
power OF foxes. There are numberless
shrines, indeed, dedicated to foxes in
Japan.
The badger IS another animal feared
by the superstitious Japanese mind 1t
is believed to have power to annoy peo-
pie, and to be able to turn into a priest
at will
The crying OF weaseIs and the baying
Of dogs are considered evil omens, and
such Insignificant happenings send a
shudder over the believers.
In Japan a light-colored mouse in the
house is a sign of happiness. II a spider
falls from the ceiling in the morning it
brings pleasure, but If at night II is
| thought to be very unlucky. To see a
centipede at night means happiness in

Mr. ConIen and another lawyer had
gone to New York to invite the ex-
Ambassador to England to deliver an ad-
dress in Philadelphia. Mr.. Conlen's COM
panion carried a green bag. which he laid
upon Mr. Choate's table, evidently to the
great lawyers annoyance.
What do you carry in this thingF' he
asked.
Il have some OF my law books" the
young Philadelphia attorney replied.
When I was a young lawyer" Mr..
Choate said, rather coldly, Il was taught
TO carry my law in my head"
And the invitation was declined.-Phil-

Broody Hens Poor Layers

Contrary to the general opinion, hens
that go broody early or often are poor
layers. So says Edward S. Parsons, OF
New York, in Farm and Home, Who
bases his opinion on records kept for
three years with flock of ZOO White
Leghorns.
Broodiness can be cured, and the hen
brought back to laying, but in the ma
jority OF cases the egg organs have be-
come absorbed to the extent that it will
take three weeks or more before the
hen IS laying again, and she usually will
become broody for the second time after
laying a few eggs. The few eggs laid
by these hens during the summer months
will not pay for the feed eaten and labor
necessary for curing broodiness. BY
never using hens that have been broody
as breeders the number Of broody hens
each year can be reduced. Whether it
can be entirely bred out is question.

PoL1TICAL sEERs, AND OTHERS.

DR. Charles W. Eliot, president em1rltus o.

without complete and exhaustive knowledge
Of history is without vision OF the future; tiias
shack to first beginnings must be the 1not.o
of a true political seer But there nave peeh
statesmen whose historic grounding mas peen
scanty and there is something to be salo ~
justification of the fact that first beginnings
are after all not explanatory OF what 1olio"s
them For instance, if the actual trnIn NC
told it is the finished product that explains the
beginnings in many cases Few facts about a
seed have been found out from the seed Itself;
Il is after the seed is planted and the plant is IN
flower that the possibilities of the seed are
seen and understood. We have continually
been making our most valuable discoveries by
reasoning back from effects to their causes, as
Newton harked back from the apple which, IN
legend. fell on his head to the law OF
gravitation which swung the spheres about
him Astronomers would be totally helpless IN
forecasting the movements OF, planets II tney
had to see the whole circumference OF an orplt.
But all they need is definite sight and meas
urement of a bit of tn arc Of that clrcumfer-
ence: from this they plot the whole extent OF
planets path. So a statesman may justly De
supposed to have clear foresight OF the path
a nation is travelling if he sees and measures
the curve of the pathway. More valuable than
mere historic lore is the ability to see the dlrec
ton and rate of progress in national movement.
We can see now what possibilities lay IN the
determination of the first Americans to furnish
in the new nation home to the oppressed OF
all nations more clearly than they did, A knoWl-
edge of what men have done is of great value
to a statesman; knowledge Of men IS even
more valuable.

CoURTING THE TIGER.

New York City newspapers widely herald
the .sdeath of Tammany.'' Predictions that
the sins Of Mr.. Murphy's organization would
find it out, and that the great center Of political
graft would give up the ghost, have been made
many times; but predictions differ from an
nouncements, notwithstanding that the New
FORK World, usually accurate, says that Tam
many is dead. Probably its wish is father to its
thought. Its disappointment is bitter as it con-
templates the poor showing that Mr.. Wilson
made in New York, and so it says that that
city is done with the Fourteenth street associa-
ton We shall see. Tammany would have
died thousand deaths if all the reports that
1t was approaching the stage of dissolution had
been true. It has shown enormous recuperative
power, and Mr. Murphy 8 face wears a wintry
smile when he remembers that the men who
denounced him turned to him for aid and COM
fort the next time they needed the votes which
he controls. When the time for the municipal
campaign in New York rolls around it will be
seen that the Tiger is the most courted of
beasts in emergency. Result: New York 8
next mayor will owe his election to the now de-
spised political organization captained by
Charles Francis Murphy.

There is something in the world today
Something fresh with Frightening ray,
Something sweeter than all we've known
In the beautiful days that have come and flown
For so life needs in it's pride and power
Something in the world each hour.
There is something new for US all to see,
Something new for US all to be,
Something wiser and grander, too,
Something more lovely for life to do
For SO 1t hungers, and SO do we,
For something in grief and glee
There is something new each day that breaks,
Something new for His chidren's sakes,
Something nobler to kelp find
A cleaner heart and happier mind
For so life feeds the dreams that glow
With something new for the world to know.

APPROPRIATIONS AND THE SHIPS.

With the campaign ended and the control Of
The government for the next four years de-
termined, much attention will be given to the
naval building program. Not all the questions
of immediate interest and Importance were set
tied when preparedness measures we're passed
at the last session of congress; some of them
will be discussed as soon as the house naval af-
fairs committee begins hearings on November
twentieth. It seems that while many persons.
including some members of congress, believed
that the limit in the naval budget reached
in the act providing a fve-year program call
ing for more than three hundred million dol
lars, it is possible that this sum will be in
creased by another hundred million. No addi-
tons to the building list expected, but there
is likely to be a sharp difference of opinion
over the question of how far the government
should go at this time in the matter Of appro-
priations. The fve-year program is liberal, and
as it includes six battleships and two battle
cruisers not yet provided for, there is still
time to hear from the little navy in con-
gress. But as this program was approved by
overwhelming public sentiment it is not likely
ito be changed, though the men who oppose pre-
lparedness may be expected to make much of
