Many lof the big companies are adding the newest, largest and swiftest vessels to their fleets. One of the latest launch ings Is that of a ship that Is being built by a French line, to run to New York. This Is one of the greatest craft yet completed, and when put In com mission will be able to carry 2,020 pas sengers. The total cost will be about 15,000,000. That Is what foreign con cerns are doing to get American trade. And Americans permit them to mo nopolize a business that should be In American control and which should 'he a moat Important auxiliary In ex tending American commerce. English owners of homing pigeons have lost ao ninny of them this season that they believe there Is an especial cause. This csusa, many of them are Inclined to suspect, Is wireless telegra phy. Many will dismiss the Indict ment aa fanciful, on account of tho comparative weakness of the current which wireless telegraphy brings Into play. The answer to this Is that the current does not kill tho birds, but only confuses them, causing them to miss their way. It the Marconi cur rent affects pigeons, why not gulls? Indeed, It would seem not impossible that wireless telegraph stations may be the means of greater disaster to tgulls than lighthouses. From London comes the announce ment of the death of the woman who claimed to be the original of 'kittle Dorrlt," that famous character of Dickens. The lady was entitled to the benefit of the doubt, but It is a fact that similar claims have been made by others. It la also asserted that a brother of the woman who has Just Mied was the original "Tiny Tim," and that he served in part as the model for "Paul Dombey." If all those asser 'tlons can be proved It would seem (that the family formed a sort of trust for Dickens characters. Perhaps If the truth were known a (considerable proportion of the so- called automobile "accidents" would be found to have resulted from be fuddled heads and unsteady nerves, The menace of a man under the in tauence of liquor and in an automobile is easily appreciated, and when it Is demonstrated that crashes on the raad are due to drunkenness the pun ishment should be severe. Those who Insist upon running amuck on the highways should be made to pay jheavy penalty, whether they be sober tor drunk. The UBual fate of get-rtch-qulck schemes Is collapse at the end. And rthe "Iambs" are fleeced as a prelim lnary. A speculative scheme of this kind In Connecticut has brought u la the bankruptcy court, with unse cured clulms of $500,000 to be set tied.

MAN-EATERS THERE Cannibals Still Remain In Austra lian Desert Not Many Visitors to Auitrsllr. Tempt ed to Penetrate Center of Country Everybody 8ays It's Vast Unexplored Region. New York. If you have a mind to visit Australia it might be Just as well to keep away from the center of the continent, according to D. C. Cameron, a Scotchman who has lived out there for 20 years and who Is now at the Imperial. Especially would Mr. Cam eron be disposed to recommend that you refrain from traveling alone. "Why? Cannibals. Not that many visitors to Australia are tempted to penetrate the center of the country. Everybody says it's a vast unexplored region, a desert. But sometimes a man goes out prospect ing and Is never heard of again, and then down to civilization come tales of how the bones of what had appar ently been a white man had been found bleaching about the remains of a camp fire, and then Lit by bit the fact comes out that the solitary seek er for gold had fallen Into the hands of some of the first families of the country and made a contribution to the aboriginal table d'hote. It wasn't to tell about this that Mr. Cameron came to New York. He is a sober, practical business man, and be is in the United Slates to see how milk Is manufactured here. Not the calcereous beverago obtained by treat ment of dlsaphanlzomenated aqua cro- tona thai used to find a ready market here before some New Yorkers bad heard about cows, but powdered milk. They are going to start a new manu facturing Industry In Australia and Mr. Camoron is the general manager of the company and be Is traveling to get points. "Our factory Is being built at a place about 125 miles from Melbourne," said Mr. Cameron. "Within a radius of four miles from It there are yielded every morning from 160,000 to 170,000 pounds of milk. That, of course, Is a great cattle country; and there are a lot of butter factories. Of course a great part of the milk produced la con sumed by the butter factories; In the tprlng the supply is such that the waste cannot be consumed by the calves and pigs In tho neighborhood, to which It Is fed.

"Dig holdings of land In Victoria are rapidly going out, the big estates being rapidly divided Into smaller properties and sold oft.

This was not for city lots, mind you, or orchard laud, but for what had been dairy land for koiiiu years. A curious thing about the sale was that the peo- plo who bought were all residents of the district. wuai we can no ir.isu is not so far from Melbourne on one side," said Mr. Cameron in answer to a question, "In fact, it lies only about thirty miles to tho west Tho aboriginal Inhabitants are very few now and most of them re kept In colonies by tho govern' UNIQUE PLACE FOR CATTLE One of Aleutian Islands Leased From Government for Purpose of Raising Bnef.

"They are very fond of Chinese, too, and If a Celestial gets among them thoy are apt literally to devour him. There used to be a lot more of Chinese disappearing by this means some years ago than Is the case now, because our Immigration laws prohibit them from coming into Australia, and those that were already in the country have grown cautious about leaving the thickly Bettled parts of the country. The aborigines have acquired many of the vices and apparently none of the virtues of civilization." HOBBLE SKIRT IS HER PROOF New York Woman Offers Garment In Evidence to Refute Charge of Kicking a Lady. New York. That a lady's feelings must bo in a condition of moro than trifling unrest when she will kick an other lady Is a iVmvictlon to which Magistrate Hylan of the New Jersey avenue court adheres strongly. So whea a lady complained to him the other day that she had been kicked by Miss Fiances Stultz, No. 89 Sackman street, he demanded proof. "I have proof enough," said Mrs. Bertha Lang, No. 19 Sackman street, who said Bho had been the klckee, "but I see no occasion for " "Of course not, of course not," said the magistrate, hastily.

Minneapolis, Minn. A matter of tremendous importance stopped an outgoing train to Chicago about 8 a. m. the other day. me train even backed again into the station, the matter was so very important. And Joe Kllgriff, the caller, hasn't got over his astonishment yet. Just as the train began to move, two women, bearing a small parcel, dashed madly toward the gates. "Is that the Chicago train?" they cried. "It Is," said Kllgriff. "Stop It! Oh, stop it!" begged the women. "Oh, it must be stopped!" It happened that there was a big crowd of university boys at the sta tion, waiting for the football team to get It. Inspired by feelings of gal lantry, they began to yell: "Stop the train! Stop the train! Stop the train!" The conductor came out on the ob servation platform. The station was In an uproar, and the two women were running desperately towards the train. The conductor hesitated, grabbed the rope and yanked It. The train stopped and began to hack In, Blowly, while a woman also appeared ou the observation platform. The two women rushed to the car. One of them banded up the box of government officials who have visited his Alaskan cattle ranch and looked over his herd. Arriving here on the reveuue cutter Rush, Capt. A. Hoffman said that conditions on Atka Island, as well na on almost all the Island of Alaska, were Ideal for cattle raising. Nutritious grass grows the year around.

I have better ways In which to spend my time," she said, "than by wasting it kicking false friends." Miss Stultz swept Mrs. Lang with "Yes," said the magistrate, "Mrs Lang says she can show I should 6 ay Mrs. Lang sayB she can prove she was kicked." "Not by me," said Miss Stultz, "for on that day I woro a hobble skirt. Here It is." She placed on the magistrate's desk a bundle, and in the bundle was a hobble skirt "I am no acrobat," she said, mod' estly, "and unless you are an acrobat you can't, while wearing a bobble skirt, kick anybody." Mrs. Lang looked at the skirt. "My goodness, Frances," she said to the defendant, "what a pretty pattern. Did you get It at a sale?" Mlas Stultz' only reply was a glance colder, If possible, than Its predeces sors. The magistrate dismissed the case, saying even a mere man could tell that kicking in n hobble skirt is a thing that Is not and cannot be. Bore Through Water Pipe. South Norwalk, Conn. When Har old Sperry, a telephone workman, bored a hole In the side of a Westport house the auger penetrated a lead wa ter pipe within tho wall.

Roselle grew into mlddlo ai;e waiting for tho letter.

Radford will nniiwer nuextliins and ?ive a'Jvlc l'Hlili UV COST on all mihjfota pertaining to thfl subject of building for the renders of tills pupcr. On arcnunt of his wliln expe rience as Editor, Author and Manufac turer, he Is, without doubt, the hlheat authority on nil these subjects. Address all Inquiries to Wllllnm A. P.iulford. No. 194 Fifth Ave., C'hhMgo, 111., and only en close two-eent tnmp 'or reply. When going Into u building project there are three considerations of im portance that present themselves. In the first placo there In the design, or outward appearance of the structure, next the arrangement of tho dwelling Inside for comfort and convenience, and last the cost of the building. There Is apt to be a wldo range of choice In regard to tho first factor the design or outward appearance of the house. This Is a matter to be de cided according to tho taste of the owner and the requirements of the building site. It Is proverbial that tastes differ widely, so there can be no definite fixed requirements along that line. Also tho needs of different locations vary greatly. It has been said that we plan the outside, of our houses to please tho neighbors or to make a brave show from tho street. Accordingly this first factor, that of outward appcaranco, may at times be of very little real Importance, al though of course every one would pre fer to live In as attractive a dwelling place as possible. All things considered, the Interior of a residence la far more Important than the exterior, leal satisfaction In a home comes from the comfortable, cozy and Inviting feature of the living room; the bright cheerfulness of the dining room, and the conveniences provided not only in the kitchen and pantry, but also In the other parts of the house. It matters little what tho outside appearance Is granted, of course, It Is trim and neat If the In terior la comfortable and homo-like and so arranged that the work can be done easily. The third factor, that of cost, very often seems to be, If not most Import ant, the most Insistent of the three. Most home builders have to set a deftnlto figure and make up their minds not to go over It. The outside design can be changed from one style to another and the Interior arrange ment is a matter of choice, no one plan being absolutely essential. But with the cost it la different. Most of use have to carefully determine, be fore building. Just what can be af forded; and If the figure decided upon should be exceeded disaster might follow. It Is just as well, too, that this Is so. It leads to economy and close figuring and careful atteutlon to the details of the work, and this leads to satisfac tory results. It seems to be quite tho habit of many building contractors, and also with the architects, to be too opti mistic when quoting on preliminary First Floor Plan estimates. The prospective builder is misled, perhaps unintentionally, Into believing that a much morn elab orate structure can be built for tl.o amount he has decided on than Is in reality the case. Tho little $L'.0i0 bungalow, of iho story, which cost $5,000 to build la an example. Tho fact of tho matter is. It Is a difficult If not Impossible inaltir to make an accurate estimate, on pre liminary pluns. The littlo extra fea tures that are not shown, but which are usually Included in tho specilica tions. oa tho planning proceeds amount up to an astonishing total. U all the desirable features that th banker has lu his new $20,000 resi dence uro attempted to bo Incorporat ed Into tho plans for a simple littlo $3,000 house It is certain that there will bo wide difference between the VX .W e '!(, 'WTMmri a V7 ,.V3t preliminary estimates and the final figures offered In the final bids based on the complete plans and specifica tions. For a house of moderate cost, espe cially If It is of pretty good size, the only safe way is to make a firm reso lution, and stick to it, to cut out all the little costly luxuries and to retain only tho essentials which are neces sary for comfort. Many features can be added five its after a building Second Floor Plan is put up Just as well as while thi bouse is being built. In the designs Illustrated herewith the Interior of the house has been made most Important while the out Bide Is of neat and trim appearance. Still, there is nothing elaborate about it, It being designed Just as economically as could be possible. A perfectly ofimre house with a hip roof tus ..... , . .,tii to be the most eco ni i...... t.y; and when properly ar raeed within malces as comfortable and satisfactory a home as could be desln d. Tto first floor plan of this home is exceptionally good. From the central square hall one finds the living room occupying the entire space at the left, while to the right 1b the dining room with the kitchen Just back of It. The stairway goes up with a single turn and 1b so arranged that the front stair way from the reception hall and the back stairway from the kitchen open onto a common landing, thus saving tho expense of an extra stairway nnd the space usually occupied by one. The living room Is designed In ac cordance with the most modern Ideas. It is very large and comfortable, 12 feet by 27 feet In size. In addition there Is an alcove containing a wide fireplace. This room would always be the center of the homo life, cheery and Inviting and capable of accommo dating a largo number of persons without crowding. On the second floor four good-slzrd i bedrooms with an abundance of closet room are provided. The bathroom hi conveniently located, the plumbing fixtures there being directly in line with those in the kitchen. This Is quite a money-saving feature. The cost of this house is estimated at $3,000. This Is very moderate for a residence of this size, 32 fe?t 0 Inches being the width and 2S fort the length. This figure contemplates the me of good quality hardwood (Irish nnd floors for the first floor and yellow pine for the second. What the World Lest.

II' .iW i PROFIT IN MUNICIPAL FARM Indianapolis Is Now Being Urged to Follow the Example of Kansas City. In view of tho fact that the develop ment of the northwestern portion of the city must soon compel the aban donment of the present workhouse, Kanscis City's first year's experiment with a municipal farm Is of interest. Tho farm was undertaken as an im provement over nn expensive work house. The results have juBt been Is sued in the form of a summary by the board of public welfare. A workhouse prisoner usod to cost Kansas City $220 a year; a prisoner on the farm has been corning $100 an nually for the city. The figures given as averages show that the city has turned a loss of CO cents a day for each prisoner into a gain of 30 cents for each prisoner. The report says that this is not all the gain, however, that has accrued to the municipality. Tho reformatory Influence of the farm has been marked. It la asserted that the prisoners take an unloked-for In terest in the farm work, an interest never met with in workhouse tasks, and, as a result, the desire to escape is minimized and but few guards are nec essary. The prisoners plant and culllvato and harvest crops, care for live stock, build roads and fences and repair them, In all of which there la a va riety of toll suitable to different kinds of ability. The city sells the products of the farm not needed and the fund derived Is applied to the maintenance of the prisoners. Now the electors of the city are soon to vote on a proposi tion to issue bonds in $50,000 to pay for the material and superintendence in the construction of a $125,000 build ing, tho manual labor to be done by the- prisoners. The site of the Marion county work house is valuable for residence lots and could be sold for an amount suffi ciently large to purchase a good sized farm, as well as to provide for the erection of necessary buildings. If the work'house farm experiment is as successful as it is reported to be la Kansas City, Cleveland and other cities, it Is hoped, that the county council and commissioners will mako an investigation of the subject before final action is taken as to the erection of a new prison. Indianapolis Star. Decorating Cities. The triennial conclave of Knights Templar In Chicago was made the occasion for the most lavish decora tion of a city ever seen in the United States, with the exception of the Hudson-Fulton celebration In New York. It is estimated that $200,000 was ex pended on th!3 feature of the enter tainment of the knights. This work was done In sections by three of the largest companies In the business, each being called upon to look after the branch of the business In which It was most proficient. Teh carloads or material, In addition to the mass of bunting, flags, etc., obtained locally were used. Tho general scheme fol lowed the line of the big Templar parade, winding through the streets over which the route was laid ana beginning on Michigan avenue and ending on La 8alle street with mas sive arches, while the central portion. , of the plan Included a long, strait 'Templar Way' along State street, lined with stately pillars, festooned and connected with ropes of laurel. Popular Mechanics. Municipal Fruit Trees. There Is no need for an ordinance In St. Paul providing for the planting of fruit trees in parks as proposed by John R. Emerson, the Chicago alder man, according to Superintendent Nussbauner of the St. Paul park sys tem. For five years over 400 fruit trees have been flourishing In Oak land park. These were planted years ago by the children of that neighbor hood, but the park board cares for them. There are plots in the other parks for the planting of fruit treea when the park board deems It advis able to set the trees out. It Is urged by the Chicago alderman that fruit trees are hardy and might well re place shade trees. St. Paul Pioneer Press. Big Advertising for a Texas City. The business men of Houston, Tex., have some big plans for advertising that city this coming season. Tho Itusiness league has announced that cue of the largest publicity campaign so far Inaugurated by a city the size of Hclston will be launched shortly, between $50.0u0 and $100,000 will bo expended in advertising. A very com plete press and Information bureau Is. an Important part of their plan. Thl.i will be equipped with everything that has been tried out with success in other cities, and will be In charge of a man experienced In rswspaper and publlrlty work Sporious Superiority.
