The 'Zionists in Ruesia, are eonstantly revelling dereonstrations of the Governmentet opposition to their movement de- spite aeetirencea to the contrary given to M. Wolfsohn, leader of the Zionist movement by atolypin, some two years ago, that they 'would not be interefered with in their activity. The eonaequences of this interference are serious. The coutributions to the various Zionist fun& from Russia having fallen enor- mously during the past year. Large 'numbers of Zionists have been arrested, and domiciliary searehes have taken place in the houses of Zionists in many places, followed by the confiscation of propaganda literature and correspond- ence. With notable energy the two organize - tions, which were founded for the pro- tection of the political rights of the Gee. man Jews have been making some stren- uous public protests agAinat the dia. eriminatioua to which the Jews are etill subjected in Germauy, more itarticularly their exclusion from the state service excepe via the baptismal font, A meet. Ing was held recently in Berlin to draw public attention to this scandal, but a more important meeting was that which was held to protest against the non -ad- mission of Jews to tho cominiesioned ranks of the army. rt was pointed out that the actions of the corps of offieers was It flagrant violation of the Prus- sian constitution, which, on paper, grant- ed complete equality. A strong resolu- tion was adopted protesting against the presnt state of affairs. The annual report of the Royal Una, versity of Buda -Peat, which was issued reeently, showed that in the acAdemic year 1909.1910 the total number of stu- dents was 6,701. Of these 2,359, that is, almost 35 per cent. wore Jews. On the other hand, among the 98 ordinary pro- fessors at the university there are only three Jews. According to statistics published in Italy and compiled in Jewish quarters, the number of Jews resident in the king, dom have undergone serious diminution. In the year 1870 Italy bad a Jewish pop- ulation (4 800,000. On the basis of the natural increase of the Italian popula- tion as a whole, this number should have increased to 450,000; as a matter of fact, there aro at present in Italy not more than from 150,000 to 170,000 Jews. There has been a large ineevase in ra. cent years in the Jewish population of Rhodesia. A new synagogue was recent- ly opened in Bulawayo, And the other. Jewish communities are pawing rapidly. In fact it Is estimated" that in the last five years the Jewish population of the country has more than doubled. The Turldsli. Cabinet has approved the modifieations demanded by the chief rabbi in the laws of the Jewish commtud. ty regulating elections. Henceforward the members of the assembly of notables. who select the eonsistoire will be elected for a period of ten years and not for life, as at present. Privy Councillor Professor Dr. C. &m- eter, of Berlin, has been elected honor- ary member of the Medical Association of Odessa. Dr. Sigintmd Deeesey, formerly tresi• dent of the Senate of the Royal turia (the highest law court hi Hungary) re- cently died at Buda -Pest, There was an enormous attendance at the funeral, includieg several members of the minis- try and ex -ministers, judges of the High Court, the president of the Chamber of Deputies and members of both houses of Parliament. Rabbi Dr. Heeesi deliv- ered the memorial address. The chief rabbi of Salonica, R. jaeob Meir, was detinitely refused the post of chief rabbi' of Jerusalem. In his let- ter to the chief rebbi of Turkey an- nouncing his decision, Chief Rabbi jacea Meir uses the iphrase, "No, no, a thous. and times no.' The refusal of It. IvIelr means that the Jerusalem community will be again in the unpleasant condition of having no recognized head, and that all the work of the chief rabbi of Tur- key to place thingsin the Holy City on a satisfactory bests will go for noth- ing. The great and important Jewish community of Jerusalem is thus at the present time actually in a worse .posi- tion for asserting themselves than they have been for some time past.

The artist has started the picture pretty well, so if you use your braine you can supply enough linea that he left out to make a very pretty picture, Draw care- fully, ee you won't make any mis- takes, because lines are hard to rub out, once you've put them in. The most thoroughly detested of all living creatures is the poor abused owl, which may aptly be termed the jowl or hoodoo of the air. There are more superetitions connected with the owl than there are with any other living thing. When baby owl is born it goes out lute the world with an aw- ful handicap. Children run away from it, bolder boys pelt it with stones, hunters shoot it. Hunters have been known to welcome the roar of the lion and turn pale at the shriek of the screech owl. Everybody seems to be superstis tious about this unfortunate bird, the savage as well as people in America, Peasante in many parts of Europe cell them death birds and if one of them is seen, in the neighborhood they are sure that death will visit some family. The Andalusiana call, them devil birds and the Malagasy regard them as embodiments of the spirits; of the wicked. • And to help along this superati- .tion, the owl innocently enough in- habits church belfries, ivied walls .abandoned graveyards, ruins and sim- ilar places which recall to the Jinn. ination ghosts and hobgoblins and w I tches.

This poor, abused bird lives in every part ef the globe, from the frozen northto the tropics, and there are more than 200 known kind, 17 of which are in North America. They are all sizee'end all colors. The larg. est known owl is 28 inches long, and the smallest, found in Arizona, never grows any longer than six inches. The owl works while others sleep, and can see well at twilight or by moonlight, but in the glare of day ean seareele eee at all. Bo during the day he hides in the hollows of tree trunks and among the shrubbery of 'erg e trees, while at night he howls and shrieks and scares folk. The wise provision of naturie is also shown in the 4)wl, Unlike other birds of prey, it cannot fly long distances, but quietly swoops clown upon its un- observed. Its color helps it to do this. The arctic owl, for instance, is pure white in the winter, the color of snow and ice, but in summer it sheds its white feathers and takes on a plumage of brown.

An °Meer of a liner once remarked to the writer that most men seemed to be as ignorant about the six° of the sea as they aro of the distance between the heavenly planets. Here are sm, few facts: The Pacific covers 68,000,000 miles; the Atlantic 30,000,000, and. the In. dian Ocean, Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,- 000. To stow away the contents of the Paeific it would be necessary to fill a tank one mile long, one mile wide and one mile deep every day for 440 years. Put in figures, time Pacific bolds in weight 948,000,000,000,000,000.000 tons. The Atlantic averages a depth of not quite three miles. Its waters weigh 3e5,- 000,000,000,000,000,000 tons, and a tank to contain it would have each of its sides 430 miles long. The figures of the other oceans are in the same startling proportions. It would take all the sea water in tho world 2,000,000 years to flow over Niagara. FRQG-LEG INDUSrRv IN OANAPA.

Cleanliness is the firet iute to he observed around the fire -hex, the pipes and flues, the aaimpit and the coal bin. Hard mei, slice as is used in house -heating almost catirely, pro- duces little soot, Although there ts a small accumulation to be eleaned.out. *erne smoke is Inevitable wheat the first fire Is kindled. The heat gentle aced by a furnace ia part of the force esed to send the pumice up the ellenney. Ia the summer, the chimney and fluea get cool and clomp, and the first heat that eornes from the fire goes to dry them oat. It does not furnish enough force, therefore, to perform its office of driving out the smoke, und part of this comes into the house by backing out the feeder dome anti other openings. The most common cane° of constaut smelting after that, is too inUeli draft. The average man in making up a fire opens his drait wide to make tire wood lie uses as kindling burn freely. He should leave them epee but a few minutee, long enough, for the wood to catch fire well, and then reduce them to a voluine neeeesery to keep the wood burning. Widwopen drafts make the wood burn faet and produce such it vast amount of smoke that the flues eannot carry it off. It naturally backout of the first opening on its course and spreads through the house. Wide-open drafts are also one of the causes of he sufficient heat, though not the main cause. If the furnace is of the right size for the houeeetobe•heated, and Is properly installed, there are two other important things that can give rise to complaint, - the acetunulation of ashes: In the aetepit and the mistaken idea many people have that the fire should be banked with cin- ders at night—the time when most the troubles of this cearacter Arose, A dirty furnace also pauses poor heating Ashes should never be Allowed to no eumulate. If banked up they chok the draft, permitting little or no air t reach the firebox from beneath. This i also the cause of the melting of th grate bars. As no cold air can go through the bars torequalize the temper ature, the fire simply .melts the casting The use of ashes, Stem which all th heat has been extraeted in the previou burning as coal, serves no purpose othe titan to choke the fire from above au thereby reeuce the heal.

Proper coaling is largely the seoret of success with hot-air furnaces. They Acme' he coaled but twice in 24 hours except in extreme weather, . In maintaining the fire, two sizes o coal should be used. The larger tem is first put on after the fire has bee.n levelled in the fire -box.

Many people make the mistake Of put- ting on more coal every time the voimune of heat coming through the registers is reduced, instead of cleaning out the ashes and regulating the heat by the drafts and dampers. More coal will be burned when it is fed by the , single shovelful than when the firebox is well Muck trouble with furnaees is caused by improper care during the, summer.

CATERPILLARS MADE USEFUL.. In China They Are Made Into an Ef• fective Fertilizer for $ress.

The first plantings of treea were inade • about eleven years ago. The varieties toed were pine, larch, walnut, oak, ash, Cie trees grown, says the Van Norden Magazine, that timber Is being sold at fancy prices. Small branches are in great demand for firewood and the larger wood is being used in mines. The bale and exportation of acacie are expeeted to become quite an industry in zhe next few years. It ie consideree very remarkable that these experiments should have succeeclea in the least degree. Practically every known difficulty was eneOunetred, and the. chief one was the caterpillar. Girdlesof glue, so effective in this country, were placed around the trees, but the energetic worms hurdled them without apparent trouble. Thousands of Chinese women and boys were employ- ed to destroy the caterpillars and in- sects by hand. Mr. Gracey reports thee in 1908 more than 7,000,000 caterpillars were gathered, smashed, covered with lime, and afterwards used as fertilizer. ' Most of the plantations have been sav- ed, but up on the mountainsides the cat- erpillars have almost won their fight.

Lanes and Alleys So Narrow That Drivers Must Look Before Turning In Itt old New York down town there are some short streets and lanes and alleys so narrow that two teams can't pass in them. Every driver familiar with the region when he tomes to one of these streets that he wants to go through al- ways looks clown before turning in to see if there is already somebody in it coming toward him or somebody belted there with it truck loading or unloading, But occasionally a man forgets And fails to look, as, for instance, a driver did the other day who started to turn from South street up Gouveneur lane, this be- ine not one of the narrowest of these little streets, but one narrow enough, ex- tending ewo blocks, from South street to Water street, with sidewalks it foot and it half of maybe two feet wide and having a roadway in which two single trueke might pass, but not two double trueks and in tele& when Atruck was backed up the way would be completely blocked. Up Gouveneur lane from South. street this driver turned or started to turn ited then looked up and stopped. Half n block up the lane was it double truck backed up with its tail covering the sidewalk on one side up astainst a ware- house door, while the truck's body stretched clear across the lane to the other side, the team being slewed around of tourse et right angles with the truck, (Imo only way it could stand there with the truck as it eves. The lane was blocked, that's all, and bloeked as completely by that one truck as it would have been by half a dozen or it dozen, and so the driver who bad started to turn in simply stopped and backed off and drove on. HEDGING MATRIMONY ABOUT. It is do longer permissible to get mar- ried while intoxicated. In consequence,* it is reported, there has beeti it great decrease itt the number of marriages in NeW Jertey. The Registrar of Vital Sta- tistics of Paterson said the other dee: "It would surprise you to learn how many persons showing the effects of liquor come here and ask for marriage 'kenos. Of course, we always refuse them, and generally suggest that they tome back the next day. Invariably they don't come back."
