Valuable Wood Used in Mexican Structure for Pedestrians and Teams. As mahogany is among the most costly woods in the world, it may well lbe inferred that this tropical material is not very extensively employed i in the construction of buildings, etc. A bridge constructed of solid mahogany is certainly a rarity, a curiosity. There is one, claimed to he the only one in the world, built of that material. This structure is located in the Department of Palenque. State of Chiapas, Republic of Mexico. This district lies in the extreme south . .. 1I1W. thft western part 01 .vicaiw, ikui boundary line of Guatemala. This mahogany bridge is constructed entirely of that valuable wood excent some iron supports, braces and nails that are necessary. The bridge spans the Rio Miebol and its total length, including approaches, exceeds i 130 feet, while the width if 15 feet. It is used by both teams and pedestrians and. though somewhat rude and primitive in construction, it is very substantial. None of the timbers of the flooring were sawed for in that region there are no sawmills, but were hewn and split. In that section of old Mexico there are several very large rubber plantations and mahogany trees are quite common. In clearing away the trop'ical trees the mahogany growths are also cut down and removed. As this I wood is quite abundant, some of it l ? ?<> iictq.j in hultd.inp1 the bridge.?

A Useful Toy. Very little difficulty will be encountered in making the water-clock illustrated here; and any boy can manage. All that are needed are a piece of cardboard, a piece of wire, two pieces of cork, some needles and a tin can. I TvTl * 4 4 4 4 =? :? 0 * A Is i -A. h C ^ IE I I n SI ? A hole is made in the bottom of the can which shall suffice to let all the water run out in twenty-four hours. The piece of cardboard must be about twenty-six inches long and six inches wide, and is cut out as shown in the diagram. This is set up on the tin can by means of wires. A stiff wire twenty inches long has a small piece of cork fastened to one end, and a shaving of cork at the other, this last piece of qprk to float in the water of the can, which is to be open at the top. The bit of cork at the top, which is to act as a pointer, can also help to steady the wire by having two needles inserted so thaty they will move up and down in the groove, being fixed crosswise. One of the needles will thus serve as a pointer; and to mark out the hours on the cardboard one simply lets the water run out for an hour from the opening at the bottom, and going to the card, makes a mark; the other hours are determined in the same way. What Wo Drink and Smoke.

During the first quarter of the current fiscal year the receipts went more than $4,500,000 above those of j the corresponding quarter in the last year, and the Commissioner estimates that, although the tax is atout to be removed from alcohol used in the arts, the total internal revenue collections in the present year will rise to $200,000,000, an increase of $10,000,00^0 over the last year.?

L. Knowlton in Cassier's MagaHog of Brilliant Color. That really beautiful species the Red River hog of West Africa is now well represented In the zoo. In common with other juvenile wild pigs the Red River hog is striped in the early part of its life. When about three months old it loses its markings and the body has a spotted appearance. The adult is one of the most brilliantly colored mammals in existence, but its bright red hue no doubt harmonizes with its surroundings, the soil in many parts of West Africa being red. It is of an elegant shape and with its tufted tail and long, pencilled ears has considerable pretentions to beauty. Though it has not the enormous tusks found in many of the wild swine the Red River hog is not devoid of means of defense. Its face is protected by hard callosities on each side, just below the eyes, and there is a bony ridge on each side of the upper jaw. And that these growths are not merely ornamental is proved by the fact that this animal can hold its own with the wart hog, a species provided with formidable upturned tusk?.?Westminster Gazette.

Wins Canal Contrast Provided He Cnly Secures Two Independent Partners. A Washington special says: Following a conference at* the White House Sunday night, it was officially announced that the contract for building the Panama canal wouid be awarded to William J. Oliver, who, with Anson M. Bangs, was the lowest bidder in the recent competition, provided lhat within the next ten days he associates himself with at least two independent constructors whose j skill and experience, combined with his own, shall cover the entire field work to be performed under the contract. President Roosevelt took the position that since Mr. Oliver had met all the requirements of the government, it would be unjust to reject his bid of 6.7o per cent for the construction of the canal, or even to require him to submit a new bid for the contract. Mr. Oliver had informed the president that it was his desire to submit an. independent bid for the work and that when the canal commission officials informed him that it would he necessary to form a partnership with some other financially responsible contractor, they even went so far as to suggest that he enter into an agreement with Anson M. Bangs, of New York City. Mr. Oliver said that after receiving this suggestion from Chairman Siionts, he visited the war department and. was informed that Mr. Bangs would be entirely satisfactory to the government. Mr. Oliver told the president with this assurance as to the reliability cf Mr.- Bangs, he immediately entered into an agreement with the New York contractor. Powerful influences were brought to bear on the president and Secretary Taft to reject all olds and advertise lor new proposals, but the president insisted that Mr. Oliver should be given a reasonable time in which to ?nake a satisfactory arrangement to . substitute another contractor, or group of contractors, to take the place of Mr. Eangs.' At the White House conference on Saturday night the friends of MacArthur Gillespie syndicate argued that the contract figures should be increased to 9 per cent of the total cost of construction and ihat the contract be awarded to OIi\er, MacArtliur and Gillespie. This suggestion, however, did not meet with the ap iwvv-Qi nf tho New York firm, who J/AVSTlll Vi. V-w " . ? insisted that they could not undertake the- work for less than 12.50 per $ent of the total cost, the figure mentioned in tlieir original bid. The president, Secretary Taft and the canal commission officials decided to award the contract to Mr. Oliver, provided he eouid make satisfactory arrangements with at least two other financially responsible contractors. 'Secretary Taft and R. R. Rogers, general counsel to the canal commission, were in conference with the president for two hours Sunday night and the whole matter was again gone over. At the direction of the president Mr. Rogers prepared the official statement for the press. When informed of the statement by the direction of the president, Mr. Oliver'?*reDresenlativfe said: "There is absolutely no doubt about Mr. Oliver being able to fulfill the requirements of the canal commission. There are now at least twenty of the most responsible contractors of the United States who have expressed a willingness to Join Mr. Oliver in the work mentioned in his original bids. These names will be submitted to Fresideut itoosevelt at once, with proof of their financial ability. Before entering into another arrangement Mr. Oliver, wants to knew positively that the contractor he chooses will be acceptable to the government."

OPINION OF BEVERIDGE ^ In Senate Speech, Indianian Makes As- Jjff sertion, and is Promptly Challenged by Bacon, Carmack and Tillman. "The child labor law of Georgia Is a dead letter. There is no system ];:S of mill inspection provided, and no means 01 emorciug 11, s?xu ciuaw I; Beveridga, in his diseussion of child . labor in the senate Monday. When he -r began to pay attention to conditions , in Georgia and other southern states, " .X the southern senators began to be heard from. Among them were Senators Bacon of Georgia, Carmack of X' Tennessee and Tillman of 'South Car- ..||j ottna. Senator Bacon ,asked that the child labor act, passed by the Geprgia legislature, be. admitted in the published report of Senator Beveridge's speech, ;x| in connection with his remarks dealing .*?1 with Georgia. This the senator from - | Indiana declined to allow done, and ;iv9| the senator from Georgia gave notice that, at the conclusion of Senator Bev- ' erdige's remarks, he would ask the attention of the senate long enough to . , ."x call attention to the Georgia child labor act approved August 1, 1006, iff ' order tliat it might go in' the record ' ^ immediately following the Beveridge \ address. < senator Bevericige declared tnav >& since this law went Into effect, on | January 1, forbidding children betwcen 10 and 12 years of age being employed in mills, unless they were orphans or. children of indigent parents, mere than 3,000 applications- for ? ij|| permission to work children in' the mills o? Fulton county had been re- ' ceived by Ordinary John R. Wilkin- ;j$ son of that county. "How many have been granted T asked Mr. Bacon. "All of them." * -f Mr. Bacon then explained that the law prohibited children under twelve years of age from working after J*tu ; ||||9| uary 1, 19G7. "Yes," responded Mr. Beveridge* "but there is not an inspector in .-"llpjB the state, and no means of enforcing that provision. What good is a momsure of that kind?" . Benatcr Bacon had made the point |; that the specific instances eked by" --'JM Senator Beveridge were isolated cases,, and not indicative oi conditions gen- ' ferally prevailing. In reply the advo cate of a national child labor law bill Hjffl said that tho filin<r nf nnnlir?at"irm<5 a-f. - iecting 3,000 children In one county, was not evidence sustaining the : ^ scarcity claims of such chses. Senator Bacon made clear the ooint rt1|wB that he was heartily in favor of rearonable regulation of child labor, aad said that his objectica to the Bcver- ' idge national child labor law f?s ; based upon the ground that it conI flicted with state authority. ' So far as the evils oi child labor were concerned, Senator Bacon admilled that there was probably a great v deal of force in the arguments presented, but that Georgia was in way to correct it, and that conditious would Improve since the passage of the state child l|ibcr law. He thought state legislative action the only way to deal with the question. Mr; Bcveridge stated that threefourths of the cotton factories of the -.'M south were opposing the bill: that theJ-'^^S railroads of the south were Opposing it, and that the coal mine operators of the south were opposing it. He | presented an illustrative map showing yi tue location of the opposing Industries? and said that in anticipation of ;;| this weighty opposition he should de*ote the "major portion of his speech . j to sotting forth evidence cf the der plorable conditions he had pictured.. ??? This evidence, he said, was all sworn \ to and in the form of * affidavits. MORGAN TO ASSIST OBEAR. Captain Wheeler Will Not 8fe Assign- V',^| , ed to Georgia Militia as Reported.
