U has been said that persons who lovo
naturo arc more npl to llvo long and happy
lives, In this country, until quite rtccntiy,
tew people have realized thl3 fact, though
the Uermnns, and to a baser extent other
Ktiropean nations, have been for many
years fotterlug a loe of nature from ear
liest childhood. It has only been within
the past few years that any attention has
been paid to nature study In the school or
In the family In tho Unlttd .States. This
country has produced many naturalists of
ronown, hut their studies In tho past have
been puroued with comparatively little help
from the schools, Recently, however, a
great nature-study movement has sprung
up amongst us ami every phase of nature
Ib being moro closely observed and In
quired Into than before. Whllo all tho
sciences have comn In for their share of
attention, plants, Insects and birds appcer
U bo the favorllo objects of ntudy, cspe
' dally in tho primary schools and among
I amateurs who have passed beyond the con
IflneH of school life. Insects, especially,
i make a most Interesting study, as they aro
(the most easily observed of living creature.
I They are to bo found everywhere, In tho
fields and woods, In tho doorynrds and even
In the household. Subjects for observation
uro never lacking nnd although omo preju
dice exists against them, as In large part
nuisances and pests from a human stand
'point, yet their strurturu Is wonderful nnd
their life histories most Interesting. A an
mid to tho study of Insects Lclnnd
O. Howard, chief of the Division
of Entomology In the United
I States Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, has published "The lti3ect Hook,"
which Is a popular account of the bees,
wasps, unU, grasshoppers, files and other
Ncrth American Insects, exclusive of the
butterflies, moths and beetles, It Is a most
voluminous work, containing over iuO
paces, with IGI illustrations, It contains
full llfo histories ot the Insects mentioned,
the principal aim of the book being to en
courage tho study of a rather neglected ns-pe-jt
of nature. The uuthor truly remarks
that the group of Insects which It con
siders is of such great extent and the
wealth of material ho exhaustive that It
has been a matter of dlllletilty to keep the
book within reasonable bounds. In glnnc
'lng through this volume It would seem as If
the author had left nothing to be desired,
lie has not only accumulated a vast amount
of most Interesting Information, but has
so arranged It as to be readily compre
hended by the non-sclentltlc reader. In
publishing this work the author has not
only miidc n valuable contribution to
science, but Iiob brought great credit to
himself and to the government department
at Washington with which he U connected.

Messrs. Harper & Drothcrs hnve secured
for their American Contemporary Novels
scries n first hook by a new writer of un
usual and striking lmporlunce. "Tho Man
ager of the II. & A.," by Vaughan Kester,
Is a remarkable performance for a first
work of Helton by a young writer. It Is
nlso refreshing to lenru that tlila novel Is
more concerned with tjie romance of busi
ness than with the pale sentimentality that
takes the place of gcnulno passion In so
much of the fiction of today. Mr. Kester
contributed u short story called "The Mills
of the I.lttlo Tin Clods" to the Cosmopoli
tan about three years ago, which attracted
marked attention at the time and evoked
comment from moro than one eminent
critic. There, was an Indication In that
story that Mr. Kester "sensed," so to
speak, t)i( feeling nnd utmosphere of busi
ness llfo as few have done It and there
was tho promlso that If he dovelnprd this
particular sensibility he would achieve
something In n field which today presents,
In our country, at least, one of the most
fruitful for the young novelist. "The
Manager of tho I). & A." Is a further evi
dence of Mr. Kester'3 power In the right
direction. Tho sccno of the story Is laid
In a littlo town In the lumber region of
Michigan and tho hero Is the mnnugcr of a
small branch railroad, which is on tho
verge of bankruptcy when he takes charge
of It. Tho plot of the story Is original
and situation follows situation In the try
ing experiences which the manager of tho
H. & A. has to undergo In his efforts to
build up the road aud Incidentally to tri
umph In his wooing. Harper & Brothers.

thrco books In the series Hook I, II nnd

forth by tho author, are: , To present
the subjects In n spiral order, treating to
gethcr tho easier principles of the various
topics and reserving tho moro dlflleult un
til the child has gained the power to ap
prehend them easily. 2. To make the work
easy, tho pupil being kept busy with a
varied application of the principles already
mastered, Instead of being too rapidly
crowded forwatd Into greater difficulties.
.1. To give the subject variety and Interest,
by basing the problems' upon facts nnd
principles gathered from tho different
gwdjo, nnd thus correlating nrltbtnetlo
wajT the other branches, while adding dis
tinctly to Its vividness and attractiveness.
4. To develop genuine mnthcmatlcnl
thought, by promoting originality In the
pupil's work and by developing fully each
new principle before It Is put Into practice.
G. To give prominence to tho Idea of mag
nitude, recognizing the psychological fact
that All mathematical knowledge Is a sys
tem of relations, or ratios. These objects
seem to us to hnve been satisfactorily ac
complished In the scries, and wo believe
that teachers will welcome this simple, log
ical and well-graded course. American

Tho report that the Wabash railway had
nt last purchased the Omaha & St. Louis
lino was a prominent theme for discussion
along railroad row yesterday. It It be
true that this deal has finally been ac
complished It means much to tho Wabash
line and also to Omaha.
Yesterday Is said to have been tho date
of tho conclusion of the purchase. Hy It
the Wabash will have gained nn Omaha
terminal to a direct route between here
and St. Louis, every foot of tho track being
Its own. It will have acquired a system
of US miles, extending from Pattons
burg, Mo., the former terminal of the
Wabash, to Omaha. A through route be
tween Omaha nnd Detroit nnd Huffalo will
bo another feature.
That will mean a service between this
city and St. Louis that hns never been
equaled over that territory In point of
equipment and speed. Tho Wnbnsh will bo
able to tako trains out of hero nt S
o'clock ono night nnd run them Into St.
Louis nt 7 o'clock tho next morning.
The new owner will undoubtedly spend
nil the mone necrsinry to bring this 14i!
miles of trackage up to tho standard of
tho remnlnedr of the Wabash line. Tho
purchase will mean a lot of construction
work, new ballasting and repairing and
tracklnylug.
This purchase would Indefinitely end the
stormy career of the Omaha & St. Louis
line. It has been In the hands of a re
ceiver for four years past and ever slnco
Us Inception has been In n vortex of trou
ble nnd strife In rnllroad circles. Tho
Wabash formerly owned It tor a short time.
That was years ago.
If tho transfer Is made Harry E. Moorcs
will continue as general ugent, the position
he now holds.
Always during the last deende or so
of the unsteady llfo ot the Omaha & St.
Louis lino It hns been snld that the Uur
ltugton was a strong rival of all other
prospective purchasers for Its ownership.
Many times It has been predicted that such
a transfer wns about to be consummated.
Dut General Manager Holdrcgo says that
the Burlington never planned to buy the
Omaha & St. Louis road, although such a
step was discussed some years ago, en
tirely In a tentative way.

An edict from General Manager Dickin
son of the Union Pacific road yesterday
notified several thousand employes of that
system that cither habitual drinking or
tho mero frequenting ot saloons on their
part would In tho future be considered
sufficient cause for their dismissal.
The flret copy of the bulletin was posted
on the board nt Union Pacific headquarters
and evoked a storm ot comment all the
morning. A swnnn of employes In tho
building hovered about reading the an
nouncement. It follows:
It Is reported that certain employes aro
Indulging habitually In the use of Intoxicat
ing liquors nnd that somo are frequenters
of saloons and places where, such liquors
aro sold.
It Is a well known fact that tho hnbltunl
ufo of intoxicating liquors Impairs tho
efficiency of it person nddlctcd to such nee.
The duties of the employes of n railroad
company, particularly those engaged In the
transportation nnd mechanical depart
ments, tire most exacting nnd necessarily
demand clear judgment nnd n sound body.
It Is therefore deemed advisable to notify
nil employes that the hubltual use of In
toxicating liquors or the frequenting of
saloons or places where such liquors nro
sold will be considered sufficient cnuso for
dismissal from tho service.
Four thousand copies ot this bulletin
were printed. They will bo sent In batches
to all superintendents, to bo posted broad
cast over the system. Tho original copy
camo by mall yesterday from Mr. Dickin
son In Wyoming. He and Genernl Solicitor
Kelly have been considering tho matter
for some time and after n final conferenco
lust Wednesday determined to put the rule
Into effect.

The prediction mnde nearly two years
ago by prominent engineers, says Harper'B
Weekly, that tho coming ocean steamers
plying between Now York nnd Europo
would reach 1,000 feet In length will have
some now facts this jeison to Justify it.
The Oceanic, which eclipsed tho famous
Great Kastcrn In size and length, must
tako second place In respect to being tho
largest steamer In tho world, for tho
Celtic, which has Jubt mado Itn maiden
trip to Now York, takes precedence. Al
though a few feet shorter than tho Oceanic
tho big new Whlto Star liner has n much
larger beam and carrying capacity, which
places It easily nt tho head of the world's
steamers In respect to -size.
Likewise the IJeutBchland will bo called
upon In the fall to mnko good Its claim
to the ocean championship. Tho now
North German I.loyd line steamer Kron
I'rlnz Wllhclm will reach this port In Sep
tember nnd nfter a preliminary Ulh or
two to limber up Its racing qualities and
mnchlnery It will proceed to make an ef
fort to establish a new transatlantic rec
ord. This new liner has been built with
the evident intention of beating th
lleutschlond. It Is a racer and built nn
lines which will give It every advnntngo In
n rnco against time. Its engines will bo tho
most powerful of nny steamer In tho world
and It l expected to make a record of twenty-five
knots an hour. It It can maintain nny
such speed It will bo without question tho
swiftest ovean steamer that ever sailed tho
sea. It has been built by the Vulcan com
pany of Stettin, which has sustained a repu
tation for many decades of building ships
that equaled In every wny their guarantees.
The contest between tho Deutschlnnd nnd
the new Kron I'rlna Wllhclm will furnish
as much International excitement In n wny
ns tho yaoht races for tho America's cup.
It Is claimed by tho owners of tho crack
Dcutchlnnd that It has never yet rearhed
the full limit of Its speed and when pushed
by a dnngcrous rival It could Increase Its
paco across tho orcan bv n safo margin.
This was partly Justified early this summer
by tho reduction of Its own record.
Ilut In point of size thero aro othor
steamers now In tho process of construction
which wilt greatly revolutionize past con
Lnwton and twenty-five miles southwest of
It Into tho heart of tho new homestead
country so recently token up In the b'g
lottery.
This rood Is a direct branch from the Man
gum line, which extends almost straight
west from Chlcknslm on the main line to
Fort Worth over to Mangum. Uoth are In
Oklahoma. About twenty-five miles west of
f'hlcknsha on this rond Is Anndnrko. From
this point the rond is building south and
west Into Lawton nnd It has now reached
Richards, only fourteen miles nwny. Hy
September 13 It will be running trains Into
Law-ton nnd not many months later en
twcnty-flvo miles southwest of that city
Tho charter for tho latter extension has
Just been secured and the work will b?
pushed.
Another now branch will extend south
cast from Lnwton to Terrell. This will b?
a more extensive piece of work, Involving
sixty miles of new track.
The biggest proposition of all now tinder
way, however, Is the new line building
down from Enid on tho main lino up In tho
north end of Oklahoma to Anadnrko, there
Joining the Mnngum lino west nnd tho Liw
ton rond south. This work will menn 100
miles of new roadway. Tho line Is to swing
out to the west In a curve southward frftn
tho main line nt Enid until It gets twenty
five miles distant. It will then run paral
lel with the main road down to Anndarko,
almost due south nil the way.
These three new lines thus complete the
network which tho Hock Island has spread
throughout Oklahoma territory. It Is cer
tain that nil will bo finished this year, as
work Is now under way on each of them.

Apparently n meek, honest Janitor by day,
a bold and resourceful burglar by night.
This Is tho epitomized Dr. Jekyll-Mr.
Hyde record ot Charles T. Hlnkle, the col
ored man who wns arrested Monday as a
suspect, so say tho police.
Search of Hlnkle's residence, t37 North
Twenty-fifth street, hns brought about sen
sational disclosures. More than 51,000
worth of stolen property has been found by
Detectives Drummy and Mitchell.
And still tho search goes on.
The property thus far recovered Is on ex
hibition nt the police station and citizens
nre flocking there to Identify missing goods,
There Is a littlo of everything In tho list
ctlvcrwarc, clothing, silks, musical Instru
ments and bric-a-brac.
Among those who have claimed and proved
their right to a part of the plunder nro
Judge W. D. Mcllugh, H. t Hromo and
Lllllo Turner, victims of tho burglar.
Hlnkle hns mndo a confession, hut tho po
lice believe he has not told ot all tho bur
glaries in which he has been Implicated.

It was u cheerful domestic sccno that
was revealed by lamplight to the sleuths
last Monduy night as they looked through
tho window Just beforn entering the Hlnkle
homo. Though the circle about the "ma
hogany" was not complete, the head of
the family being In Jail, still
his absence did not seem to be
keenly felt, for his wife occupied the sent
of honor nnd doled out "ehldllns," chicken
potple, mashid potatoes and gravy to llvo
plckaulnules, who swung their bare feet
Impatiently beneath the snowy cloth.
Tho detectives entered, ono through tho
front door and one through the renr.
'That's n very pretty sliver service you
have there, Mrs. Hlnkle," snld Detective
Drummy. And ho "hefted" tho water
pitcher with the air of a connoisseur nnd
examined tho teaspoons. "How much did
this sugar bowl cost?"
Mrs. Hlnkle wns too much surprised to
answer. Tho pickaninnies left their pot
ple and huddled In n dark corner, a group
of chattering white teeth nnd big white eye
balls.
.Niiine on Sltvertwire,
Meanwhile tho detectives had read tho
namo "Hrome" In script lettering on the
various articles of silver tableware. Tho
butter and sugar wcro dumped out upon
scraps of paper; the cream was poured Into
n teacup and the various stolen articles
wore made Into nn unwieldy pnekaget Then
Mrs. Hlnkle was told to get ready to ac
company them to the station. A neighbor
woman wnB called In to keep houso tem
porarily and tho pickaninnies wcro left to
qunrrel over tho potplo and wonder what
had happened.
Hlnkle wns arrested Monday even
ing for Impersonating an officer,
for carrying credentials forged with
tho name of Chief Donahue, for
attempting to rob n drug store nt
Fortieth and Cuming streets and for In
timidating and threatening to arrest women
on Wulnut Hill. This variety of charges
Btiggcstod the possibility of his having been
guilty of severnl burglaries, which until
now hnve been unexplained, so Detectives
Drummy and Mitchell were sent out to his
house to search It.
When Mrs. Hlnkle wns searched at the
station she was found to be wearing sev
eral stolen articles of clothing.

HURON. S. I)., Aug. 13. (Special.) The
number of prairie chickens In Hendlo
county this season Is very large, better
than for several years. Tho open season
U lmpntlently nwaitcd. Tho Huron Gun
club, ns well as farmers throughout tho
county, are on the alert for violators of
tho game law. Tho open Beason begins
September 1. The law requires nonresi
dents to procuro license before entering
tho field, the feo for which Is $10 and
limits tho number of birds to twenty-five
for a single day's shooting. Indications
nre that nn unusually large number of
nlmrods from out of the state will be hero
when tho season opens. Thero nro a good
many grouso and plover; moro than usual,
and also some quail, but the law forbids tho
shooting of qunll. This game Is being
carefully watched and protected.
No Cine Yet to Murderer.
CODY, Wyo., Aug. 13. .(Spcclnl.) Tho
coroner's Jury In tho Georgo Cortson mur
der caso has failed to discover nny cluo
to tho Identity of the murderer. Cortson
wns a well-to-do ranchman and was found
murdered In his cabin ono day last Juno.
Tlii roiintv authorities arc still working
on tho case, but there Is little hope of
catching the murderer.
The Craze for Leviathans
of the Deep.
crnzo is to rush ucross tho Atlantic ns
fast as steam and powerful engines can
carry you, but with the ndvent of the fu
turo giant steamers a reaction may come,
which will mako the slow boat tho most
desirable because of Its superior quarters
and accommodations.
A veritable floating city Is the steamer
Coltlc. It is the largest vessel In tho
world 700 feet long, Hcvsnty-flvo feot deep
Forty thousand men could stand on one of
its decks. At load draft Its displacement
will bo 38,220 tons. Tho crow numbers
seventy seamen, 100 men In the engineer's
department and 200 stewards. It you go
down on tho dock and look up nt Its tow
ering sides some Irreverent child In tho
neighborhood Is llabla to make remarks
about rilbbt rnocks. For tho eyes have to
bo raised to an unpleasant angle to seo
Its decks at all. It Is so big thnt a man
could stnnd on one of Its decks nnd make
a speech to 30,009 othcra and none of them
would he crowded.
This ship considerably dwarfs tho Great
Kastcrn, tho first of big nrks to crnts the
Atlantic and a failure, for not only Is It
longer, but It exceeds tho height of the
old vecset. It Is, In fnct. a floating hotel
nine stories high and It Is provided with
nearly everything to bo found In a mod
cm summer resort, except billiard tables
and n bowling alley. When it has Its
complement of pnsBongcrs It Is Indeed
more llko a city than a hotel nnd If It
were necessary to put it into transport
service It could rnrry an army corps. It Is
estimated that 40.000 men could star.d In
line on nny one of Its decks nnd It hns nine
decks.
On tho trip accros3 the Atlantic Its
maiden voyage It developed a speed of
407 knots on the first day, but this was
rathor a test than otherwise far It set
tled down to n Jog of about 370 knots a
day after that and nn attempt was mado
by Its officers to beat records or establish
precedents. In fact, the ship Is not made
fcr high speed. If It hns capacity for It
that capacity will seldom If ever he made
evident to the passengers. The purpose was
to provide In It a ship that would be strong
steady, safo and comfortnblo,

This is an extreme precaution. The beer is browed

We, who know brewing, know the value of purity.

that both Flecger and Wanzer nro friendly

forces nro counting on a victory with what
looks like the best chances In tho world of
