, The Dolphin as a Pilot.
: "Peiorous Jack" is the name of an oi4 :
iflolphin which is protected by a special I
*et of the New Zealand Legislature.
|The official proclamation of the Gov- 1
.ernrnent prohibits any interference 1
i.trlth Pelorous Jack under a penalty of I
'?100.
j According to an old sailor's tale, a j
ithoal of dolphins grounded on the i
' horcs of Cook Strait forty years ago.
|and one of them escaped into the sea.
That one, which is now acknowledged
*o b? Pelorous Jack, never left the lo- |
cality where he lost his companions,
and "he is now protected by law as he j
'lias p.lways been by sentiment."
i The most remarkable fact of all is i
jthe reason for the passage of the law, ,
.which is that Pelorous Jack acts as a !
most efTective pilot, escorting all kinds .
of vessels in and out of the French j
Pass, Cook Strait, always keeping to j
deep water.
For years he was believed to be a !
belusra. or white whale, but recent sci- !
,entific investigation has shown that
he is really a dolphin. As he is never
absent fren. his duties, the proclamaItion

ings transplanted, old pot plants bedded
out, and many other things done.
The very first requisite for success
,1s a well prepared soil, and that means
on? deeply worked, finely pulverized
and well enriched. Do not'expect success
if the soil is worked but two or
thrpe inches in depth and the roots
compelled to force their way through
icrd-pan below that. The plant must
bo able to send its roots down into
the soil easily and quickly if luxuriant !
foilage and perfect blossoms are to be !
ecured.
Sometimes, after all possible care j
has been taken in preparing the soil J
and sowing the seed, a heavy rain will j
cause a crust to form over the surface, ;
through which the tiny plants cannot i
t>renk. To avoid this it is wise to scat- i
ter a light mulch over the seed bed? j
fine grass clippings, leaves, or anything i
which will offer no resistance to the j
plants. A heavy rain may wash trans- j
planted seedlings loose from the soil, i
if not entirely out of it, and this, too, j
must be watched for and the damage j
at once repaired.?National Magazine. |

GREAT CHANCE
, From Change in Food.
The brain depends much more on the
stomach than we are apt to suppose unftil
we take thought in the matter.
jFeod the stomach on proper food easy
to digest and containing the proper
amount of phosphates and the healthy
fbrsin will respond to all demands. A
Double housewife in Buffalo writes:
"The doctor diagnosed my trouble as |
a 'nervous affection of the stomach.' I j
was actually so nervous that I could j
not sit still for five minutes to read the I
newspaper, and to attend to my house- |
hold duties was simply impossible. I j
doctored all the- time with remedies, j
but medicine did no good.
"My physician put me on all sorts of
diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal
foofls, but none of them agreed with
me. I was almost discouraged, and
when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with
many misgivings?I had no faith that it
would succeed where everything else
'bad failed.
"But It did succeed, and you don't
"know how glad I am that I tried it I
feel like a new person. I have gained in
'weight and I don't have that terrible
iburning sensation _n my stomach any
[more. I reel so strong again mat i am
[surprised at myself. The street noises
that used to irritate me so, I never
notice'now, and my mind is so clear
that my household duties are a real
pleasure."

Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Now why was this great change made
in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild and strergthen the
nerve centres in these organs. It is absolute
folly to try to do this with
medicine. '.Tiere is but one sure way,
and that is to quit the old food that has
fjiiiorl nnrl take on Grape-Nuts food.
which is more than half digested in the I
process of manufacture and is rich in

RUSSIAN" FLEET SPLIT.
Smaller Vessels Koturu to the Coast of
An nam.
Paris.?The following has been communicated
to the press by M. Thomson,
Minister of Marine:
After its departure from Port d'Ayot,
the Russian squadron went to Hainan
Island, where it anchored to take coal.
On either the night of May 19 or May
-0 pi^rt of the fleet, composed of eleven
vessels, returned to the coast of Annam,
cruised about for two hours and
then anchored off Port d'Ayot outside
oi rermoruu waters.
News of this was telegraphed to
Saigon, reaching there about 8 o'clock
a. ui. Admiral de Jonquieres, the
French commander, at once decided to
go to Tort d'Ayot in order to make sure
that the ruies of neutrality are not
violated. He embarked on a .cruiser,
bearing strict and precise instructions.
It is believed that the return of the
less swift and tless strongiy armed of
the Russian vessels is a ruse conceived
by Admiral Rojestvensky with
the intention of deceiving Admiral
Togo into believing that his entire
fleet has returned, while as a matter
of fact he is making for Vladivostok
with all speed with his best ships.
The return <of the vessels caused no
excitement at Saigon, as they are outside
of the jurisdiction of France.
A later telegram received at the Ministry
of Marine says tha Russian vessels
that returned are the auxiliary
cruisers and the volunteer fleet. They
were seeking colliers which were
awaiting them in that neighborhood.

Hongkong.?The British steamer
Changsha. which has arrived here, reports
that she passed four Kussiau
transports, one of them equipped witb
wireless telegraph apparatus. They
were coming from' Bashee Channel,
which is between the Bashee Islands,
north of Luzon, and the island of Formosa.
It is the general opinion here thai
the Japanese will allow the Baltic fieet
to reach Vladivostok without molestation,
after which they hope to repeat
the program they carried out at Port
Arthur, which resulted in the practical
destruction of the fleet there.
To Coiil Near Lazon.
London.?The Paris correspondent of
the Times says he learns from a well
informed Russian source that the rendezvous
of Rojestvensky's coaling fleet
is at one of the islands in Balintang
Channel. . The island will be merely
a point of rendezvous where the colliers
will receive further instructions
from Admiral Rojestvensky as to the
particular harbor or bay where the,
fleet will coal. This probably will be
somewhere on the coast of the Island
of Luzon. The Americans have only a
few ships at Manila, and nothing better
xthan a first-class cruiser. They are
wholly inadequate for anything more
than a demonstration in the event of
coming up with the Russian fleet.

The lumbermen^ association, determined
to force the issue upon its drivc*
ers immediately, began early in the'
I day to order the lumber teamsters to
e deliver supp'.ies to Montgomery, Ward
& Co., Sprague, Warner & Co., The
r Fair, and Marshall Field & Co. As
0 fast as the orders were issued the drivII
ers dropped their reins and were discharged.
As quick as the discharges
were ordered the strikes in the various
concerns went into effect.
The first lumber concern to be affect*
ed was Francis Beidler & Co. This
company has enormous yards and em-;
r pioy3 100 drivers. It has on hand GO,v
000,000 feet of lumber. Many of the

That the city government was prepared
for the worst was evident from
the fact that Mayor Dunne received assurances
from the Governor at Springfield
that troops could be ready for service
at two hours' notice. The per

Philadelphia's Chief Executiue Ousts
Two Cabinet Officers.
Declares War to Flui*h Againat tlie Gas
Lease ami Ketaia? Eliliu Hoot
to Advise Him.
Philadelphia. Pa.?In bis effort to
defeat the consummation of the plan
to lease the city'gas works to the United
Gas Improvement CompaD.v for
severity-five years for $25,000,000.
Mayor Weaver dismissed from office
the two principal members of his Cabinet,
David J. Smyth. Director of the
Department of Public Safety, and
Peter E. Coatello. Director of the Department
of Public Works. In their
respective places ne appointed ad interim.
Colonel Sheldon Potter and A.
Lincoln Acker.
In bis fight against the gas lease and
the Republican organization the Major
I has called in as counsel Elihu Root, of
j New York City, and ex-Judge James
Gay Gordon, of this city. Judge Gordon
is a Democrat. The Mayor's
stated purpose in going outside the city
for his principal counsel is that he
wants a man wbo is not identified
with any faction in the struggle now
on.
Simultaneously with tbe dismissal of
the two directors, Frederick J. Sboyer.
Director of the Department of Supplies.
by direction of tbe Mayor, suspended
pending an investigation Arthur
H. Morrow, the Assistant Director
of tbe department.
The Mayor's blow was struck at the
most vital spot of tbe Republican machine?its
patronage. Practically all
of the 20,000 place men in the city are
rtirwtlv at Hip mprrv nf thp DirAftrir nf
Public Safety and the Director of Public
Works. The men he has appointed
to these positions are members of the
Reform Committee of Seventy. Colonel
Potter is also a member of the Governor's
staff, a stanch Republican, but
regarded as absolutely clean in politics.
Mayor Weaver has made it known
that any member of the City Councils
who desires any share in the city patronage
must take sides with him
against the gas lease. He will summon
early all the members of Councils before
him to receive their pledges. The
proteges of the Councilmen who agree
to vote as the Mayor desires will be'allowed
to remain in office. The headman's
axe hangs over the rest.
The removal of Directors Smyth and
Costello did not come until after the
Mayor had asked them to resign immediately.
In reply each sent a letter offering
his resignation, to take effect
when his successor "shall be qualified."
The Mayor answered them by demanding
their immediate resignation.
The answers the directors returned
were to the effect that they had tendered
their resignations "in the usual
form and in accordance with the provisions
of the city charter." and that
they would stand by them as tendered.
i?ai. YVtrutei uiCLt'upuu uuucu iuc tv/irespondence
by sending to each a letter
in which he safd:
"I feel that the best interests of the
city require that our official relations
shall terminate at once. You therefore
place me under the painful necessity
of immediately removing you from the
position, as I feci that I must have
some one in that office responsible only
to the Mayor and to the city at once."
The fight over the form of the resignation
was an important one, in that
the new directors can only be qualified
by the confirmation of the Councils,
which is controlled by the organization.
It is not likely that the Councils
will confirm the appointments. The
Department of Public Safety has
charge of the Police and Fire Bureaus.
Electrical Bureau, prisons, Building
Inspectors. Boiler Inspectors, city
property and Inspectors of Fire Escapes.
The bureaus of gas, highways. lighting,
surveys, street cleaning, water
and city ice boats are under the supervision
of the Department of Public
Works. Each director receives $10,000
a year.
The situation assumed a new phase
when Director of Public Safety Smyth
and Director of Publi? Works Costelio
obtained a temporary injunction from
Judge Ralston, in Common Pleas
Court, restraining the Mayor from removing
them from office, and also an
Infnnotlnn nnromcf ftnlnnpl SllpIdftTl Pot

from performing the duties of
their respective offices.
The deposed directors claim that
their successors cannot qualify until
they have been confirmed by City
Councils and their bond has been accepted.
New York City.?Mayor John Weaver
of Philadelphia came to New York in
the afternoon to consult with Elihu
Root upon the situation growing out
of the fi?ht against the gas monopoly.
He was accompanied by ex-Judge
James Gay Gordon, of Philadelphia,
who has been engaged as Mr. Root's
associate, and George S. Graham, a
former District Attorney. The party
reached Jersey City at 4.10 o'clock,
and crossed o3 the Cortlandt street
ferry. Upon reaching Manhattan Mr.
Graham left the party. The Mayor and
