WILMINGTON'S NEW TERMINAL
Worth of the Harbor There Was
Recognized Several Years Ago


The new Marine Terminal, which
is rapidly nearing completion, is not
a new idea, but the outgrowth of
years of study. AS far back as 1867
it was proposed in a report of the di-
rectors to the stockholders of the Will
mington and Reading Railroad Com
pany. The following showing the de-
velopment of the idea is interesting
from a historical standpoint: "In the
report of the directors to the stock
holders of the Wilmington and Read
ing Railroad Company for the year
1867, Edward Brooke, president, is in
cluded in the report of Chief Engineer
]. Dutton Steele, who stated among
other things: 81 would respectfully
recommend that the extension to the
Delaware river be made at the earliest
time compatible with the means and
ability of the company, for without
it your work will be incomplete, and
it's object will not be fully accomplish
| ed. There is no harbor on the Della
ware equal to that of Wilmington, and
| DIS u SlJe lOT HldnuldCOOTleS IL Is un-
surpassed. Located below the region
of ice, it is accessible by sea-going
vessels at all seasons, whilst the Chris
tiana and Brandywine furnish some
ten miles of excellent wharf front in
the immediate vicinity of the city.
When this harbor is connected by rail
with the mining and manufacturing
interests of Pennsylvania its advan-
tages will be appreciated. Not only
will the iron-ores and irons of Penn
sylvania reach that point for manipu-
lation and shipment buC it must rapid
ly grow into Importance as a point of
shipment for anthracite and bitumin-
Gus Goals and other products of the in

bonds, and on the 4th of December
1876 was sold under foreclosure of its

PERSIAN W0RKMEn ARE PIOUS

Describing a visit to Teheran. the
capital of Persia. E. Alexander Powell
writes In Harper's:
"The dwellings of the poor ere of
dusty, sun-dried bricks, with fiat roofs
Of mud, and even the houses Of the
rich are built of the same uninterest-
ing material, usually camoufaged,
however, by a coat of white or tinted

my daily amusements in Teheran. A
well-known politician was erecting a
somewhat pretentiOus house In the
same street as the American mission,
where / was staying, and every morn

all of the stock of the Wilmington

purchased by the Reading Company
which company leased the road to The

HOW PELICANS FEED YOUNG
Nature Has Endowed Birds With What
Might Be Called Capacious
Family Larder.

One Of the most ludicrOus sights In
nature is furnished by parent pelicans
feeding their young from a sack OF
elastic skin grown from the under side
of the beak. This sack is often
six inches deep and foot and half
long, and it will stretch until it Is
large enough to hold several quarts
of fish or other food.
The parent bird opens wide its beak,
and the little pelican sticks his head
inside and helps himself to the con-
tents of the pouch. AS the young
grow larger they are able to pene-
trate farther and farther for their
meals, and one sees one of them with
ais whole head and neck far within
the parents capaciOus NAV.
Pelican island, in Indian river, Flor
Ida, is a government reservation, and
there each year, during the nesting
season, these birds may be seen by
the thousands.-DetrOit News.

SHOW AUTHORITY WITH WHIP
Brtdegrooms in Certain Parts of Africa
Assert Their Mastery in No Un-
certain Manner.

On the day of a marriage in Juba-
land the girl issues from her fathers
house surrounded by throngs of wom-
en- dancing, singing and making
great deal of noise. She is taken to the
bridegrOOmS hut, where he awaits her.
As she passes in through the low door
way he gives her two or three sharp
cuts with u rhinocerOS hide lash, TO in
innate that he intends to be master.
She then has TO attend to the various
guests who come with gifts for the
newly married couple; but she is not
allowed to speak to them neither does
her husband address her. All his COM
mands, given by signs, have to be
Obeyed promptly, and should the girl
be slow or not understand the meaning
of his gestures. she is instantly smart
ened up with a sharp blow from the
lash. 1t is point of honor that she
utters no sound, however hard she is
lashed.
The husbands of a certain section
of SOmalis tie rope round the brides
wrists on the first evening of marriage,
and attach the end Of the rope to a
branch, tightening it so that the girls
toes only just touch the ground; they
then proceed to administer sound
fiOgging. But the girl never utters q
cry; and, as soon as the husband has
administered a good hard beating he
takes her down, washes and anointS
her wounds, and looks after her tender
ly until the cuts heal and the stiffness
passes.

However, a group of young citizens
