Difference Between Original Endow.
ment and Education.


While there are superior and infe-
rior races, there are primitive, medic
val and modern civilizations, and
there are certain mental qualities re-
quired for and produced by these diff
ferent grades of civilization. The
Chinaman comes from a medieval civ
ilization-he shows little Of those
qualities which are the product Of
western civilization, and with his unit
ativeness, routine and traditions, he
has earned the reputation of being
entirely nonassimila5le. But ae chill
dren~of Cinnamon, born and reared in
this country, entirely disproye this
charge, for they are apt in absorbing
the spirit and method Of American in
stitutions as any Caucasian.
The Teutonic races, until 500 years
after Christ, were primitive in their
civilization, yet they had the mental
capacities which made them, like Ar
binius, able to comprehend and ab-
sorb the highest Noman civilization.
They passed through the medieval
period and then came out into the
modern period of advanced ciyiliza-
ton, yet during these 1000 years
their mental capacities. the original
endowment of race, have scarcely i'm
proved. 1t is civilization, not race
evolution, that has transformed the
primitive warrior 1ato the philosopher,
scientist, artisan and business man.
Could their babies have been taken
from the woods 1000 years ago and
transported to the homes and schools
of modern America, they could have
covered in one generation. the prog
ress of 20 centuries. Other races,
like the Scotch and the Issh, made
the transition from primitive institu-
lions to modern industrial habits
within a single century, and Prof.

Making Theaters Eira.proor.

The burning of a theater or other
public auditorium is likely to be at
tended by such loss of life that va
rious municipal building departments
aim to safeguard the construction in
all possible ways, says Harper-s
Weekly. In order to study the mat
ter most practically a committee Of
Austrian engineers has recently car
ried on a number of experiments with
o model of Ring Theater. in Vienna,
which some years ago was, destroyed
by fire. The model was built on
scale of one to ten, so that its GU
bical contents was e-thousandth of
the actual building, and it was par
ticularly valuable in showing what
conditions Of ventilation were least
conducive to the spread Of the flames.
The most practical results reached
were that it was absolutely necessary
to have adequate smoke-yents over
the stage, as the air when heated pro
duced such a pressure that the gas
lights would be extinguished Far
thermore, this pressure is produced
within an Incredibly short space of
time, but if once it was relieved the
fire couldsNbe confined to the stage.
The committee therefore appreciated
how dangerous it was to cover the ven
tilating-shafts or smoke-vents with
wire netting, as is required by the
New York building law, for the
draught is sufficient to carry up char
red paper and canvas from the seem
cry, so that the outlets were com
pletely closed. The provision Of suit
able and sufficient smoke-vents is the
most necessary feature to retard fire,
as this alone can stop the outpurst

in the tests with the model what has

Fined for Pulling Wrong Tooth.

Mr.. C. H. Russell Grant, house Sal:

Portland street, W., was summoned
at Marlborough street for assaulting
Matilda Nelson. Compliments story

have two teeth extracted, and paid Is.

a sound tooth had been removed and
the troublesome one left in her head.
She pointed this out, and asked to be

what Spanish titles Cost.

Spain has 100000 titled persons: that
is to say, about one in every thirty
eight inhabitants. But such titles are
held as less than nothing by the orig
inal Leerage of the country. These
are known as the grandees, and form
an aristocracy entirely Of birth, some
Of them-like our old landed gentry
having no handles at all to their
names and yet entirely refusing to
mix even with dukes OF new creation.
To become Spanish baron four hun
bred pounds is sufficient. A viscoun-
ty costs double that amount. while to
be made a count payment of twelve
hundred sounds is necessary.

HOW SNAKES HUNT
The idea That They Exert a Hyp-

-ASAS 2 AJp-
motto Influence Exploded.
Many are the tales told Of how
snakes Of various kinds exert a hyp-
motto influence over their prey A
naturalist now denies this, as the
the result OF some experiments.
He shut number of rattlesnakes
up In q barn, and then introduced
rats and birds for the reptiles to
feed upon.
The rats were very restless. but
this he puts down as a desire to es-
cape rather than the dread of dam
ger. Sometimes, however, they
would run straight into the heaps
Of straw where the snakes lay con-
cealed.
When rattlesnake wanted to
catch bird 1t would silently APP
proach its victim, poise for mo-
ment, make a snap like dart, and
then in leisureiy manner retire.
In that sudden dart 1t had eject
ed its poison into the bird, which
then futtered and staggered about
In an aimless fashion. Presently its
movements became more dulled.
The end had come.
Then the snake quietly seized it
and bore 1t off the heap of straw
to be consumed leisure.
Hypnotism did not play the slight
est part in this or any similar cap
ture which the naturalist watched.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 6.-The plan of
former Representative William H
("Alfalfa Bill") Murray of Oklahoma
to colonize Bolivia with American
farmers has struck a snag.
Some time ago the Bolivian govern
ment granted Murray $4,000 acres OF
land IN the interior.
Returning from Bolivia yesterday
on the steamship Voltaire, William
ert Gallentine OF Apache, Okla, said
that the tract sold to them was
jungle land and rocky soil in an I'M
healthy locality and far from any
means of transportation.
Gallentine said Murray bought the
land for 10 cents an acre and sold
1t for so.
Farmers Taken Sick.
Pittner and Gallentine became Ill
with malaria and got back to the
United States through the help of
their condition excited the sympathy
OF passengers, who collected 1874 to
enable them to start anew Oklahoma
The farmers said that the other
colonists were leaving, and that
members of Murray's family had suf-
fered from the sickness that came
upon the little band.
Frederick J. Stimson, formerly Am
bassador to Argentina, who was
aboard the Voltaire, said he would re-
port the matter to Secretary of State
Kellogg.
