This is tlie large.st inllliiig unit yot Installed, coii-sisting of five mills and two crushers, driven by three Corliss engines and having a grinding capacity of 12." tons of cane daily.

The dogs seized the opportunity come to a standstill. The leaders promptly colled themselves up in the snow, while the two men struggled iii the sleigh. Jean hurled Alphonse into the snow and, before he could arise, flung him self upon him again. “So—you are going to Esquimaux, and yon tldnk you will see Nanette therehe sneered. Alphonse said nothing, because this was hardly a time to talk. He wished he could get at Ids knife, but it was in his belt and the leather sheath had shifted around to the back. “I am going to kill you,” said Jean Petit. “I am going to kill you, and no body will know who did it. Your bones will have been picked white by the wolves long before the carrier pusses here on his way from Esquim aux.” Alphonse still said nothing, but he could see murder in Jean’s eyes and smell his whisky-laden breatli. “After a few months I shall ask Nanette to marry me,” continued Jean, “She loved me before you came, and she will love me again.” He whipped the knife out of hi.s belt, but Alphonse, who had been watching for that movement, flung himself at him, and the two men wres tled In the deep snow. To and fro they . staggered. Jean was much .stronger than Alphonse, but the two were fighting for one man’s life, and that man's desperation lent him new strength. Finally Alphonse managed to shake off his assailant and leap Into the sled. “Mush!” he slioiPed to the leaders, and as they rose he saw, out of (he corner of his eye, Jean rushing towarvl him again. But the sleigh started off, and Jean was left behind. He could not catch the fugitive, with his fleet dogs. Ai- phon.se turned and .saw Jean sitting by the roadffide, looking at him. Then to his horror Alphonse real ized that one of the sacks of mull hud fallen out of the sled. Ho saw it lying by the side of the trail. He knew that it was safe enough, for Jean Petit, (hough he was willing to take the chances of murder, would not dare to touch the mall. But the loss of it meant the loss of Alphonse’s position. Besides, there was the matter of duty —and Nanette. Alplionse lialted the dog.s, stepped out, and went back. He saw Jean eying him. Jean did not move. Al- phon :e sloopetl down and picked up tlie sack—It was only a little one. “.lean, you acted foolishly,” said Al- phon.se. Joan rose lo his feet and came to ward him, looking uncertainly about him. “I am sorry, Alphonse,” he mut tered, Alphonse stretched out Ids Imnd. Jean IVHt made a lunge, ami tlie hid den knife went Into Alphonse’s breast below Iho heart. Alphonse staggered and fell, ihe mail hag on top of him. The bloml gushed from the wound. Faintly he heard Jean shouting triumphantly: he saw the crazed man lean over lilm— and then Jean was striding away upon ids snowslioes us fast as he could go. When he was out of sight Alphonse staggered to his feet anil carried the Idood-clreiichoil mailbag to the sleigh. He cotiapsed inside it, hut not liefore he had ordered the dogs to ”niiisli."

But the good triumphed as Nanette turned toward him. She took ids haiiil and there were tears in her eyes. “1 always hoped for lids; I prayed for thi.s,” she cried. "Ell?” stammered Jean Petit. “I was afraid that you would meet on the road, and that you would fight,” said the girl. “It was told to me that you hail tlirenteneii Alphonse.

Rare Chinese BddIis Now in Congressional Library W ASHINGTON.—There is a Chinese library in Washington which ranks third among the Chinese libraries of the Western world, a library which contains more than 40,000 volumes of Chinese printed books, and' 10,000 "olumes in other Asiatic tongues, ac cording to Dr*. Walter T. Swingle of tlie Library of^Congress. The Chinese library In question is part of the Library of Congres.s, and is known as the Chinese collection of that Institution. “We have not only one of the largest and probalily the best arranged collec tions in Western countries, but are fortunate in polsessing many very rare •nluable works which would .«! even in Chins' he higlily pr dared Doctor Swingle. “An exhibition recently prepared at the library shows Sung, King, and Yuan dynasty prints, and two early Ming prints, printed before 1450 A, D. Some of these Tvorlts are of great interest, being editions supposed to have been lost even in the Orient. “Besides these early works dating from the twelfth century, the same exhibit contain!* material illustrating the three largest hooks in the world. “These are: ‘The Great Ming Encyclopedia.' which took the equivalent of 8,000 years’ wwk in compilation; the ‘Imperial Encyclopedia.’ the largest printed work made up by order of the Manchu emperor, Ch’ien Lung, from 1773 to 17S2, and including all the principal works in the Chinese language.” How President Wilson Obtains Wanted Relaxation to relax froi F or the last few months there has been a great mystery about the White House. It has to do with one of the means which the president employs his presidential duties. This form of amusement is nothing more than -the good old gome of pool, or, speaking in more polite terms, pocket billiards. When the conditions are normal at the White House the president has two means of relaxation other than playing billiards. He takes great de light in reading poetry aloud. The other form of amusement is (he read ing of detective stories. There is a government employee in Washington who considers it his especial duty to keep the president supplied with the latest detective stories. President Wilson doe.s not believe It wise to keep the miilniglit oil burning. Therefore, the hours of 11 o’clock usually finds him in bed. More often it Is before 11 o’clock that he retires. This is necessary because of his early rising. The following sign could properly be posted upon the door of the White House offices: “Office hours, 5 o’clock in the morning until 10:30 o’clock at night.” Usually the president’s afternoons have been given over to recreation, which may be golf, or motor rides. Mrs. Wilson I.s generally his companion in both. The motor trips are tisually over by 6 o’clock, so there is ample time to prepare for 7 o’clock dinner. Most of the president’s evenings have been devoted to work. Tlie sleigh rolled on. the dogs burst ing into sliriil harks of joy as they rec ognized Ihe end of their journey.

A prediction that within a few years this city would adopt the city manager plan of government was made by Rich ard S. Childs, in Introducing Henry M. Waite, city manager of Dayton O., as the speaker at the second Saturday afternoon luncheon of the City club of Now York. Mi'. Waite, who took over the direction of the affairs of Dnyluii on January 1, 1914—after Gen. Georje Goethals had refused the post —outlined to about 50 members what he had done to earn his $12,500 year ly sofaiy. Mr. Waite, the dean of city managers, was referred to as “logical ly, New York’s first manager.” "Out in Dayton we run our munici pal affairs this way,” said Mr. Waite. “First, the people elect a council or commission of five members, whose duly it. is to look about through the country and locate a man who might capably direct tlie city’s affairs. When one such is found, the commission questions him about his experience and so forth, in much the same way a busi ness man does when he hires u clerk. If the applicant measures up to the standard, he Is hired, and he, in turn, selects the heads of the five depart ments of finance, law, service, safety and welfare. “In selecting the heads of depart ments ability and exiierlence and not politics count. Personally, I don’t know of what political persuasion my departmental heads are. In this way we are able to get many men wlio oth erwise would not think of running for oflice, under the old conditions. For example, the head of the welfare le- partnient is a clergyman, thoroughly capable to study out the park and rec reation needs of our population. “Take our finance department as an example of the efficiency obtainable under the new plan of government. We have our finances so systematized that I—or any other citizen—can tell at a moment down to a cent just how any of the subdivisions of our budget stand.” needs brains of engineers Underlying All City Planning Is th Necessity to Secure Health and Comfort for the People. ters and remo" iJrcm politics a subject of patronage the icouniry over. Among many members of congress there is a strong sentiment for the law. The department, it is said, has been handicapped in some of its pro- gre.ssive measures because postmasters were chosen for their popularity rath er than for their business ability. The plan proposed would make postmastership a business which a man must first qualify for before receiv ing an appointment. It would make possible the promotion of a postmaster from a small office to a larger one, and instead of Installing a postmaster for a four-year term to remain In one place he would be Installed In the office he is best fitted for. If It were found that a postmaster serving In an office with receipts of $10,000 was qualified to serve in an office with receipts of $100,000 he would be in line for promotion to such an office. By this method the service, it Is declared, would be improved and at the same time would be placed on a business basis and economies realized. The proposed change would affect 9,192 postmasters, the number now appointed by the president. Of these 567 are first class, 2,212 second class, C,413 third class. Talented Sculptress Makes Bugs for Government P ERSONALITY and achievement unite to make of Mr.s. Mica Zest.a Helde- niann one of the most interesting figures in the galaxy of gifted women of the capital city. Of Danish birth, she studied sculpture under the ablest mas ters of Europe, and has created some a bronze remarkably skillful portraits and marble. But it is not for her art statues and portrait busts that Mrs. Heide- mann has achieved distinction in gov- emraentnl circles, but for her wonder ful models of bugs, of which she has made so many that she has forgotten the names of half of them. Under her talented fingers the bugs are marvels of art. They are made on a gigantic scale. Some are wondrously beautiful, while others, in their magnified ugliness, are hideous beyond compare. Modest in the extreme, Mrs. Hcidemann refused to see anything extraor dinary in the unusual and clever -samples of her art that are everyw'here In evidence in her charming home at Forest Glen. “Usually I make only the bad bugs,” Mrs. Heidemann explained, “the ones that are injurious to health and to the crops of the farmer aud fruit’grower. Never are any mode for just their beauty or their good qualities. And they are of necessity made so scientifically as to be of value educationally. These models are used very largely In the agricultural colleges to Impress upon the students the character of the insects and bug.s of various kinds that prey upon the grains, fruits and vegetables and cause destruction of crops. Sometimes theie are insects that combat such pests, and I make them, too. “The models of the bugs must be large enough so that the tiniest Insect represented is seen in as much detail as if it were being observed in life under n strong glass.” Asked of what material she made her bugs. Mrs. Heidemann replied: ‘•ylnything and everything. Of course. I have a composition which is my real secret, but the rule that guides me in choosing materials is to make them lifelike; so all sorts of materials are used. I study the bug, and anything that will make the big model look just as It looks in life, I use. After the drawing is made to suit me, then a skeleton must be made for permanency to build upon. “Into the construction of this go also many things, according to the nature of the insect—wire, metals, -n-ax, hairs, thread, silk, celluloid, glass, 'rubber, plaster of paris, leather, several special kinds of gauzes, sHverj powder and the composition; and the first thing you know the bug is done. .Yes, it Is tedious work; always weeks, sometimes months, are required in making some of the more difficult ones.” CONDENSATIONS The world’s normal yield of the six great ct-‘"‘als ranges from 16,000,000,- 000 to lii.v'Xi.OOO.OCiO bushels.

The first problem to grap ple with Is availability. Such work is at present our greatest need, for all our so-called main thoroughfares are now too much congested during the busiest hours. This is on engineer’s problem. Storm drains and also, sewers are next on the program, also referred to the engineer’s department. After this we need reservations for small neighborhood parks so that every resi dent may reach one from his home in a ten-minutes’ walk. Now, having made our city available and sanitary to a satisfactory degree we are ready to make it a city beautiful and consider all the commendable fads put forward by bands of energetic workers who for many years have made large noises but accomplish nothing. But let us first have the engineer and have him give us a substantial foundation on which to lay the city.—Los Angeles Times. How Our Cities Have Grown. A metropolis grows up In two ways. At first It expands legitimately, adding furlong to furlong of growth. Then it leaps forward and seizes a large area overnight by act of legislature or parliament, sweeping into Its net a score of villages and settlements. Then it proceeds to consolidate its position, as General Joffre might say, by filling up the intervening spaces. In Euro pean cities they have an inner ring, which Is the old city, and an outer ring, which may be anything. New York, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, have their Inner rings, -which are the legiti mate city, and the outer ring, which came by the got-big-quick method. New York succumbed to the promoter’s fever in 1898. In that year the city absorbed large areas of virgin soil, and a chain of independent villages, some of them nearly os old as Manhat tan itself. Prom the Sound to the At lantic they stretch across the backbone of Long Island and the lower har bor of Staten island, where the local tradition, in spite of municipal ferries and promised tunnels, has remained at its strongest. Such frenzied expansion is the rea son why the traveler in the nearer sub urbs of a great city will often come across a city line which is no longer the city line. As you near the old city line from the heart of population, the solid blocks of apartments and flats thin out. There follow stretches of waste land, market gardens, cemete ries. It is across this zone between the old and the new city lines that the transit railways throw their surface lines and elevated “extensions,” and close behind them are the builders, criss-crossing the raw acres with their long lines of “frame” and brick.—Har per’s Magazine. Arts Defined. Any creative or productive craft or occupation requiring knowledge and skill Is an art, as the art of printing, the art of building, art of cooking, art 'of healing, etc. The' so-called fine arts are painting, drawing, engraving, architecture, sculpture, poetry, music.
