Thefe have bTen some disastrous exr pertinents In the direction of "Improv ing" on nature. For instunce, when ruts became such a nuisance In Ja maica the tfust Indian mongoose was Introduced to rid the Island of th^ pest. Hut today the mongoose Is a greater nuisance than the rat, and be Ing bigger and hungrier and quicker on Its f'*et It Im worse than the thing It was Introduced to destroy. A settler thought lie would make home In a strange land more homelike by introducing the Hiitish sparrow, which hitherto had been -tin known on the other aide of the Atlantic, snys London Tit-lilt*, Mr. Sparrow liked his new quarters and quickly made himself at homo, with disastrous . re Suits to crops and Hfttlve birds. And what shall In* said of the col onist who brought a pair of rabbits from Kngllsh fields so that they might breed and supply him wtth his favorite rabbit pie? There are enough rabbits In Australia "today to make rabbit pie for the entire population of the earth. The authorities have spent mnilons of pounds In efforts to exterimnate them, but they stU> go on breeding and eating the grass the sheep should have. MUST CHANGE MAP OF ETNA Recent Eruption of the 8icillan Vol cano Probably Has Made Qreat Alterations. Seventeen years ago when Vesuvius was angry all maps had to be rectified after the eruption. The extrejne sum mit of the mountain had bjp'come con siderably lower and the crater was much deeper. Now the Ktna eruption was much more violent than that of Vesuvius, which means probably the sides of t ho Sicilian volcano will also have to be changed on the map. In .spite of its great activity the eruption of Vesuvius can be observed from one end to the other by an ex pert. Doctor Matteuccl spent three days and three nights in a recess of the smoking crater. He was thought to be dead. When he returned" he could not hide his Joy, not at having escaped 'death by a miracle, but at being aide to make observations on the spot* of this tremendous phenomenon, of which he -had been certainly a most Indiscreet witness.. ^ ills successor. Professor- Maliadra. I mis been observing the different phases of the recent Ktna convulsions. Hut lie was not iible to approach as nesr as Doctor Matteuccl on Vesuvius. ? I/( >plpion.

Six or seven centuries before Christ the Hindus had attained great profi ciency In the art of spinning wanting and printing cotton. Some of their fab rics were so exquisitely fine that they have been compared with gossamer web, says the Detroit News. They were highly prized and available ouly for the princes and nobles of the land; the coarser weaves served as clothing for the common people.

Whether u landlord has u right to prevent tenants from congregating nightly on the roof with from 100 to 200 friend* for u free view of uit outdoor moving picture .show riext door is to be decided in t,,e Supreme court as the result, ^u^a suit Uled by Jacob London, owijwr of the two ylx-story tenement houses ^t 51 and 5S W?*t One Hundred uud Six teenth street, adjoining a thontri, which operates an outdoor moving plot u,re lIloV on t lit? roof ull summer. Mr. London in his complaint uska for an injunction, restraining fifteen tenants, all named us defendants, from congregating on the roof at any time to witness moving picture per formances ; from holding meetings or assemblages on the roof ; from gather ing collectively on the roof for social or amusement purposes; from occupy ing windows connected with the com mon halls to witness moving picture performances; frohi Inviting, solicit ing, encouraging pr urging persons to assemble with thein, either on the roofs or In the halls, on the stoop or at the hall windows to witness mov ing picture performances or for any unlawful purpose, and from continu ing to perpetrate alleged damage, In Jury or loss to plaintiff's property.' Many Viewa Shown Fre?. Isaac Stanlslaw, agent of the prop erty, said In an affidavit' that there are 24 tenants in each of the houses, which were built 17 years ago. The roofs were recently recovered with ,a plastic slate rubber at a cost of $700. The agent said that each night from 8:30 to 11:80. o'clock the defendants congregated on the roof adjoining the theater, paying no heed to the watch man who ordered them away. They took chairs, boxes and other objects to the roof, he said, and Invited friends and relatives, sometimes as manv ft* 'JOO. to *ee the show for nothing. "The roofs are not rented to the defendants," said the agent, "and are the exclusive property of the plaintiff. None of the defendants has license or authority to go on the roo^ for any purpose, and deponent has made ve hement protest." Alleged damage done by the nightly roof parties, he said, wasx as follows: "Coping on W esterly wall of Js'o. 58 entirely broken ; rodf* damaged In va i rlous places; vent pipes broken from their hearings; bricks over the stair way leading to the roof demolished. " Reports Building Damaged. The agent said It would be neces sary to remove the entire roof cover ing and raise the roofs to the proper level, because they had sagged under tli? weight of the film watchers. He said there was danger of damage from water leaking through the broken roofs Into the buildings. Repairs may cost thousands of dollars, he added. The agent said that when he- first learned of the roof parties, lie found 35 persons there, but they would nof move when lie asked them to, saying "they would go up there as much as they pleased, and If the landlord didn't like it he could sell the house, for they would not stay off the roof for anybody." The agent got a police man but the tenants refused to budge until threatened with arrest, the agent said. Since then, he said, "the tenants had been tip there every night, and had broken down all the barriers he put to keep them off." The Janitor said In an affidavit that the roof-going tenants threatened him with bodily harm if he interfered, and attacked the theater watchman, who tried to get them off.
