The IiiisskuiH arc now bringing fresh nressuc of Hie most powerful sort upon the rear of the Turkish armies in Mesopotamia. The development of this new line of attack has greatly enhanced the chances of success of the Russian campaign in Mesopotamia, which holds forth the hope now entertained in Pctrograd or bringing not only Bagdad, the holy city of the Caliphs, but the entire historic country lying between the Tigris and the Euphrates under Russian dominion. TROUBLE ABOUT NIAGARA POWER The United States and Canada are having a little trouble about Niagara Falls. The U. S. protested against the taking of a large amount of water from the river above the Falls, to make electric power on the Canadian side. Now the Canadian Attorney- General says that if the United j States continues to protest Canada ' will refuse to sell the electric power on the American side, thus tying up ' hundreds of industries in New York State. GREAT PARADE FOR PREPAREDNESS New York had a wonderful pa-1 rade for "preparedness" last Satur- day, the greatest ever seen in a city I famous for great processions. I About 145,000 men, women and children marched while more than a million looked on and cheered. The , procession was 20 miles long. It t started at 9:30 a. m., and required, until about 9:30 p. m. to pass a given point. ! From the great numbers and en-i thusiasm it seems clear were New, York stands on the question of pre paredness. OUR RAILROADS THE SAFEST American railroads have often heen accused of the reckless sacri fice of human life. Last year at least they made a fine record for safety. No less than 325 American railways report to the Bureau of Sta tistics that they went through the year wihout a single fatal acciden' to a passenger. Not all the rr.ilioad? made so good a record, but the tota! nmnbe r of passeng-rs' lives lot was only 10(i. European railroads, witl mu''h less mileage, showed over 70f passengers killed in the same time AN ARMY OF 200,000 The Army Reorganization bill is ex pected to be passed by both House? of Congress, and perhaps signed bj the President, this week. As the de tails have been agreed upon, no more changes are expected. The bill as agred upon fixes the peace strength of the regular army at 200,000 men. The Senate wanted 250,000 but the House thought that too much, and wished to put the lim it a 125,000 or 150,000. I'ropnrlng Incense for Trade. A missionary traveling down the I.au River in Mongolia Rays he passed thlrty-ono rapids in ono day. At most of them were water mills for tho grinding oT aromatic troe3 into powder to make Incense. The trees are chopped into small pieces and thrown into a holo in a heavy millstone, which revolves on a larger stone as the water rushes through below. In the rainy season, when tho river flows full and fast, o pair of mills can grind 200 catties (UG6 pounds) of Incense a day. It is made up Into bundles of this weight and sold on the spot for fifty Btrlngs of cash (about $G). Young Nobility In England.

Caught Off Galveston; Smithsonian Institution Asked to Classify It Thero Is on exhibition In Galveston odo of tho queerest fl3h known to stu dents of that form of life. It was caught by a sailor on one of tho Gulf fisheries schooners off the banks of Campeachy and brought to Galveston. Tho fish Is about threo feet long, a foot wide, and weighs twenty-three pounds. It Is the first of lti kind eve seen In that section, and mariners who have traveled and fished all over the South Gulf of Mexico never saw any thing like It. Tho description of it scema to include that of at least four other species of sea inhabitants. Tho tall 13 very much like that of a Jack fish, while the fins on the back are very similar to those of a tarpon. Tho first three bones of the back fin extend a great distance, and finally grow smaller Into mere hairs. The scales are of the e::act representation of those of tho red snapper abounding In the waters near Galreston. The In side of the mouth has much of the for mation of the mouth of a drum fish, but the exterlo works on the plan of a telescope, and looks exactly like tho snout of a pig. The mouth contains a large fleshy tongue, for all the world like the tongue of a human being. The fish has two separate rows of teeth, approximately fifty In each of the jaws. From the upper jaw there extend downward three tusks on the order of a boar In miniature, while from the lower jaw two or more of ths teeth dovetail Into the openings left between those in the upper Jaw. The tusks are one Inch In length. Over the gills a bony formation grows which very much resembles the forma tion of a part of the tail. Strangest perhaps of all Is the col 'or of the fish. The tail and hack fins are black and white streaked, while tho greatest part of the body is of the peculiar color of the red snapper. Just In front of the gills Is a spot of yellow. A number of authorities on fish have examined the strange creature which some of them declare Is not a fish but a strange marine creature. The speci men Is being preserved and a full de scription and picture of the flsh have been forwarded to the Smithsonian Institution. Whether it is a freak of nature or a specimen of a new and unheard of flsh none cf the local au thorities li willing to decide, but tho majority is inclined to accept as a new specimen because it Is perfectly form ed and because other fish resembling tho one captured were seen In the neighborhood where this one was brought In, In very deep water. An Unique Ten Dollar Bill. Thouqh It might not have been gen erally known, a revelation shows that for the past twentv-three years the honors of being the emblem of the United States have been divided be tween an eagle nnd a donkey. A ten dollar bill, circulating In this city and bearing an engraving of a huge American eagle, and another bird commonly known as a mule, proves that an undignified practical joke has been pla"ed In tho engrav ing department at Washington. Tho bill wa3 Issued In tho year 18S0, during which time an Englishman was In charge of the engraving depart ment All of tho engraving that loft the department wh'Ie this gentleman was In charge boro the unpatriotic picture. The currency had been In circulation about a year when tho ob jectionable donkey was noticed by tho department and called back. Within a year after tho currency was cillod In every bill was accounted for with the exception of one. Bill No. A3.W797GC could not bo nccounted for until last week, when It came into tho posiesslon of A. O. Craig, a resi dent of this city. Mr. Craig noticed that tho bill was unlike tho money now in circulation, and upon examination of the eagle that Is engraved upon tho back found n large mulo with white nose and Happing ears.

"There Is one order that I never Ilka to fill," said tho animal collector. "That order is ono for a live giraffe. "Lions and gorillas and tigers and pythons are easy to catch as compared with a giraffe. The long-legged, long necked beast can see, smell and hear a hunter mile? away. And when a herd smells danger, off It will dash. "You can't catch a giraffe In a pit fall. It would be certain to break Its legs or neck If It tumbled Into a pit. There Is not trap that would do. A trap powerful enough to hold tho strong beast would crush Its delicate legs llko pipe stems. "So there Is only one way to catch giraffes alive, and a mighty hard way it Is. "They mu3t be surrounded by driv ers and chased until they bring up, weary and helpless, in an enclosure made of netlsg and bamboo. That means a drive of many miles, lasting many days; for It would never do to drive them into the enclosure In the first rush of their terror. They would dash headlong Into it and kill them selves. "This hunting Is a terrible piece of business in Itself. But after the gir affes are safely penned -in the hardest work has only begun. That is to trans port the beast3 through 500 or more miles of primeval wilderness to the nearest seaport. "Men have tried all kinds of ways to do this, even to driving the great brutes. But that doesn't pay. The risk of accident Is too great. "I prefer the old-fashioned plan, to pen the animal 3 In a bamboo cage open at tho top so that their shoulders and neck can stick out. Then the cage Is lashed to great bamboo pole3, from twenty to thirty feet long. As many natives as possible lift the four ends to their shoulders and off goes Mr. Giraffe on a free ride to the ocean. "The giraffe's legs break very easily. This Is the ever present danger all the way to the coast. But when port Is reached, It becomes still more grive, for it Is In bringing the animal aboard a ship and during the storms of a voyage that the collector may ex pect every moment that his precious property will slip. "And if It slips and goes down in Its narrow quarters, It's good-by giraffe, for Its logs haven't room enough In an ordinary stall on a ship and are almost sure to double under it If It falls. "Bringing the animal aboard is an undertaking in Itself. When the steam winch begins to hoist the deep pen with the brute's helpless neck sticking out like a mast, the collector's heart Is In his mouth, for the giraffe's head may get tangled among the tackle of the ship or strike a spar, mast or shroud, and then there will be wild times. "And It Isn't only broken limbs and similar accidents that bother the gir affe collector during the voyage. A g'rarTe is one of the animals which will broak their hearts In captivity. The poor brute will actually cry with homesickness at least, I have always figured that it's homesickness. "So catchlug giraffes Isn't a busi ness that a man really hankers for. The reward Is groat, however, If you can -3urce,ed In carrying ono home alive, for the giraffe Is to-day the most costly animal, and a collector can got almost any price w.thln reason for a good specimen."
