''Pelorus Jack" is the name of an ' old dolphin which is protected by a . special act of the New Zealand legis lature. ; i . According to an Australian colonist, George Hayes, the official proclama . , jtion of thc government prohibits any ; .'interference with Pelorus Jack under a penalty of ?100. Forty years ago, when Mr. Hayes first emigrated to Australia, he heard "an old sailor's tale, according to which a .shoal of dolphins grounded on the shores of Cook Strait, and one of 'them escaped into the sea. That one, "which As now acknowledged to be Pelorus Jack, never left the locality where he lost his companions, and, as Kr. Hayes says, "he is now pro tected uy law as ho has always been ^ by sentiment." ^_ The most remarkable fact of all ig y the reason for the passage of the law, which is that Pelorus Jack acts as a most effective pilot, escorting all kindsf'of . vessels in and out of the French Pass, Cook Strait, always keeping to deep water. For years he was believed to be a . beluga, or white whale, but recent ? v u- scientific investigation has shown that S he is really a dolphin. As he is never - V absent from his duties the proclama . -tion has been received with keen sat isfaction throughout Australasia by ~ sailors who have to use the French Pass.; Overworking a Typewriter.

Department W?l undergo Thorough Reorganization i _^_ HAYS TAKES CHARGE OF BUREAU Assistant Secretary of Agricultura Given a Free Hand to Cleanse the Bureau of Statistics of the Stigma Left by the Cotton Leak Scandal. Washington, Special.-Assistant Sec retary of Agriculture Willet NV Hays has taken hold of the affairs of the Bureau of Statistics, with instructions from Secretary Wilson, approved by President Roosevelt, to cleanse the bu reau of the stigma left by the cotton leak scandal. Hi.j authority is unlim ited. He has been told that he may have whatever clerical force he needs : and if there are an^cr?'???y?'s whose -servij^ipi^inRs should be dispensed with, they will be discharged. It is regarded as extremely likely there will be a complete reorganization of the force employed in the statistical de partment as well as a thorough re vision of the orders governing the monthly crop reports, the latter hav ing already been outlined in a circular issued by Secretary Wilson. In that regard Secretary Wilson said that hereafter if there are accusations against the integrity of the bureau it must be directed against himself or Assistant Secretary Hays, as he has no intention of allowing any other person access to information that might be used in stock jobbing. Mr. Hays probably will be in charge of the bureau until after Congress as sembles, as it is believed that a compe I tent man to take the place of Mr. Hyde, who resigned recently as chief statis tician cannot be had for the salary paid by the government, $3,000 a year. Con gress will be asked to increase the. \ ary and it is the intention of Secretan Wilson to place in charge t>C the office a man whose ability tas been estab lished, but one who has no connection with statistical bureaus attached to stock brokerage offices. Whoever is appointed will first be approved by the President A rumor nas been circulated that when Congress assembles a movement will be started to have the crop gath ering bureaus transferred to the De partment of Commerce and Labor in order to insure a more complete reor ganization. Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, a warm personal friend of Secretary Wilson, is slated for the chairmanship of the Senate committee on agriculture. He has made a study of the methods of crop reporting and it is known that he is opposed unalterably to any change of the character suggested. Many Deaths From . Heat.

WILL NOT BE EASY Statement From High Official That the Japanese Will Show No Leniency HAVE ABUNDANT RESOURCES LEFT The Minister to London Says the Pub lic E vi den ly Mistake the Japanese For Angels in Thinking the Peace Term3 Will Be Moderate-The Bar on Said That Russia Had Named Good Men as Plenipotentiaries, But All Depends Upon the Powers Con ferred Upon Them. London, By Cable-Baron Hay?shi, the Japanese minister here, said to the Associated Press that Russia had ap pointed good men as peace plenipoten tiaries. Nevertheless even M. Witte and Baron Rosen had not inspired Japan with confidence in a favorable outcome of the negotiations. "We do not know," the minister added, "what powers have been delegated to them and after the events of the past 18 months Japan puts faith only in accomplished facts. The terms will be communicated only at the conference. Then we will dis cover what powers the Russian pleni potentiaries possess." The Associated Press representative Suggested that the general opinion pre vailed that the Japanese terms will be moderate. "I cannot see where people get such an idea," replied the minister, "the public evidently mistake the Japanese for angels." Minister Hayashi, intimated that Japan was ready to continue the war unless she secures suitable terms. He called attention to tb* fart that prac tically the entire sum realized by the last two loans was unexpended and said the capture of the island of Sak halin was not .precipitated by the ap proach of the conference, but was a natural sequence of the Japanese cam paign the plans for which had not been altered since Russia acceded to the con ference. An earlier attack on the island was not undertaken principally because of the severe winter and because the summer season was preferrable for campaigning and the establishment of a new government in the island.

AIDS NATURE'S WORK EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAYS ON GROWTH OF PLANTS. Grow to Twice Actual "Weicht of Those Expoied to Sunlight Only - Latent Victory For Thl8 New and Beautiful Illuminant. ? The experiments recently made at Qornell University prove that Ihe beau* tiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are B's effective as sunlight on the growth of plants, and this may soon become . subject for serious consideration ,, ail progressive cultivators of rV ..oil. The results of the experiments are Astonishing, inasmuch as they show conclusively the great increase of growth attained by supplementing "Tho Light of Nature" with "The Light of Acetylene" " during the hours in which the plants would otherwise be in darkness. For instance, a certain number of radish plants subjected to acetylene light during the night grew to twice the actual weight of the same number of radishes given daylight only, all other conditions being equal, and peas had blossomed and partially ma tured pods with the help of acetylene light, while without the added light not even buds were apparent. ' Acetylene is already taking its place as an illuminant for towns from a cen tral plant, forlightlnghouses, churches, schools and isolated buildings of all kinds, and it is being ?sed successfully for many other purposes. A striking and important feature of acetylene is the ease and small expense with which it can be made available compared with the great advantages derived from its use. The machine ih which the gas is generated is easily in stalled. Shoemakers Once Were Well Paid. Thirty years ago, when ?ll shoes were made by hand, the shoemaker earned a fair salary of from $12 to $16 per week. Every shoe shop had from five to ten shoemakers working. Shoes and bones cost from $8 to $15, and they received much more repair ing than do the shoes of to-day. Now girls are working in the factories and hundreds of good shoemakers are look ing for something to eat. Over half of the shoemakers who formerly worked in the shops are working at other lines of business, and making more money. A journeyman cobbler seldom makes more than $8 or $9 per week. One may wonder why it is that the cobbler nearly always finds a mean, dirty hole to crawl into and to call it a repair shop. The fact is, he can not afford to pay much rent. In the average shoe shop in the good seasons -spring and summer-he can do $4 worth of repairing a day, and not more than $6 if he works in the night time. Four dollars per day and six days a week make $24 per week. DISFIGURING ULCER People Looked at Her In Amazement-. Pronounced Incurable-Face Now Clear^ ns Ever-Thanks God For Cutlcura. Mrs. P.
