AMERICAN HARDWOODS.
,The rapid consumption of American
hardwoods is causing the timber deal
ers of the United States to turn their
attention to the supplies of adjoining
countries. The mesquite of Texas is
beginning to find favor, several car
loads having recently been shipped
from the State to Michigan, where the
wood is manufactured into furniture.
Mexico , has a pretty fair supply of
this class of timber and Our manufac
turers would like to break in upon it,
but there is a stiff export duty impos
ed by Mexico on unmanufactured
timber which stands in the way of
their desires, and is not likely to be
removed, for the Mexicans in impos
ing it were inspired by the double
purpose of conserving their timber
supply and of encouraging domestic
manufactures. No obstacles are plan
ned in the way of its use by manuac
turers in Mexico, but mesquite is not
likely to go out of the republic in its
raw state. while the Mexicans are in
their present frame of mind S.

YOUNG-OLD MAN.
Czar Nicholas of all the Russias
40 years old today. We naturally
think of him as an older man than
that; he has lived many years more
than 40, though that is all the calendar
gives him credit for. But they hav
been long years; they have been years
filled with trouble, years haunted with
fear and years teeming with terror.
The throne of Russia is not a com
fortable seat; its present occupant is
credited by the world with a desire to
improve the condition of his people
but his wish is not destined to be
realized to any great extent until the
people are changed; they are incapa
ble of national improvement in their
present condition.
Nicholas II was born May 18, 1868,
and is the eighth ruler to represent
the house of Romanoff-Holstein on
the throne of Russia. He ascended on
the throne November 1, 1894, upon the
death of his father, Emperor Alexan
der III. A few weeks later he was
married to Princess Alexandria Alix,
daughter of Grand Duke Ludwig IV
of Hesse. They have five children,
four of them daughters, the youngest
a son, who will be four years old next
August. i - ,
" PATERNAL INTEREST.
The most notable feature of the
budget which Premier Asquith has
presented to the British house of com
mons is the provision for allowances
from the national treasury of a dollar
and a quarter a week to persons more
than 70 years old and possessing an
income, less than $130 a year. This
pension is not available for those who
are already public dependencies and it
is the estimate of the government that
the pensioners will not exceed half-mil
lion in number. The pensions become
effective the' first of ijext year and
will, according to the estimates, cost
the government thirty millions a year.
Premier Asquith explained to the
house that the pensions would have
imposed conditions for forfeiture and
suspension and added that if the
measure appeared to smack of social
ism, it is a kind of socialism that both
parties accept. The result of the
operation of the measure will be
watched with keen interest in all
countries. Missoulian.
A South Carolina paper declares
that "Today the twice-defeated Bryan
presents the astonishing spectacle of
being unquestionably the greatest
private citizen of the world." What
a comfort the imagination is to the
twice-defeated lining up for a third
battle' under more unfavorable cir
cumstances than ever.
Mosquitoes have been subjugated in

East Indian Magic.
A former French chief Justice In
Chandernagore, Jacolllot, gives an ac
count of several curious performances
that were displayed for his benefit by
a yogi named Gcvlnda-Swami on the
terrace of his own house. Being by no
means credulous, Jacolllot took every
precaution to prevent deception. FIdp
sand was strewn on the ground In or
der to make as even a surface as pos
sible. Jacolliot was asked to seat him
self at a table upon which were a pen
cil aud paper. The fakir carefully
laid a piece of wood upon the sand and
announced that whatever figures Jacol
liot might draw on the paper the piece
of wood would transcribe nrecisolv
upon the sand. The yogi stretched out
his hand, and the wooden piece Imme
diately copied upon the sand the most
complicated and twisted figures that
Jacolliot drew. When the Frenchman
stopped writing the piece of wood also
came to a standstill. The fakir stood
at a distance against a wall, while
Jacolliot held the paper and pencil In
such a way that the Indian could not
possibly see what he was inscribing.

lie met at n dinner one evening Bishop,
the famous English sone writer, to
whom he had ' been introduced on a
previous occasidn and to whom be had
taken an instant liking.
"Good evening, Mr."- began Rossini
cordially, extending bis hand, but the
name of his English- acquaintance had
basely deserted blm for the moment.
There was scarcely a perceptible
hesitation on his part, however, for in
stantly he began to whistle softly the
opeuiiig bars of Bishop's glee, "When
the Wind Blows."
The face of the "English Mozart," as
Bishop was often .called, lighted up
with a smile of gratification, and Ros
sini's failure to recall his name was in
stantly forpiven In the recognition of
his pretty eomplimmt.
NEW YORK, May 20.-Dr. Chas.
Steinmetz, consulting engineer of the
General Electric Company at
Schenectady and professor of electri-
al engineering at Union College,
painted a doleful picture yesterday of
what life' will be in the world when J
the coal supply has been exhausted,
and when the natural fertility of the
soil has been used up and when the
population has largely increased. lie
thought that ultimately the people of
the earth would have to look to elec
tricity for heat would have to depend
on it to re-fcrtilize the earth for food
and clothing to keep people alive.
Dr. Steinmetz spoke in the hall of
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers to students and friend of
the New York Electrical Trade
School. His subject was "The Future
of Electricity."
"You who sit in this room," he said,
"will see the time when there will be
no more hard coal. You may see the
time too when supplies of soft coal
are so far removed that they wont be
worth while bringing to the people;
it can't last very long. And there is a
possibility that some day people will
wake up to the fact that some coal
poisons the atmosphere. Then they
may prohibit it. But it can't be a
very great- while before we must seek
for means other than coal for keeping
warm. Wood has long since been dis
carded as coal must be. What next?
"It seems to me that our best hope
is electricity. But we must have
power for that. With coal out of the
question where is the power to come
from? The solution of the problem
seems to be our natural water power,
of which we use so very little now."
