The city administration In increasing the taxation on groat building's and valuable real estate has done; great good ' to the community. You can reach the busy American's thinking machinery only through his pocket. Talk all you please about unjust tax ation and nothing is gained. But let the busy man wake up to find that his business is taxed ten thousand dollars a year —his roars fill the air and HF: begins t talk of injustice. In the first place, it is right that the land real estate should bear as much taxation as possible. It Is hard on the man who has put his honestly earned money into land, of course, lint it is about time for men to go slow on ' real estate investment. Who gave Manhattan Island to the Astors? Did God Almighty prove it to them? What man has a right to the surface of this earth that was created ! for the entire human race? Why should • not ho who says who shall and who j shall not inhabit this or that section of the globe pay a big price fur the privi- The trouble is tiiat the land-owning, non-productive individual does NOT carry the load. Mr. Astor, who lives in England, rents his Waldorf hotel to Mr. Boldt. Mr. Holdt has built up his fortune by hard work and lie lias helped build up the country at the same time. Of course it j is not the highest form of activity to (ill the idle witli canvasback ducks and champagne. But it is not wasted ac tivity. It gives work to many, it ad vances the art of cooking—which will be important when we become civilized —and it kills off with indigestion man\ of the idle. Boldt's contract witli Astor says tha Boldt shall pay a certain outrageous rent and that in addition he shall pay j ALL TIIK TAXKB. Consequently, when the taxes ar> ' increased the load falls not 011 Astor. who is wasting his time running after Englishmen who wisely despise him. !• j falls on poor Boldt, whs must work ! harder, chase his numerous creditor? more swiftly, and generally gnash his teeth. We feel sorry for Mr. Uoldt, sorry thi every industrious business man who must pay more because the landlord shirks his taxes. Hut we are glad the taxes are increas ed. Next time Mr. Astor will not be able to got the same rent for his hotel, and the taxes will fall ou him. And w, think that the businossQmen who have the power will end by making it illegal for the landlord to put the taxes on the tenant. Tho landlord should not be able to rent land on any such conditions Ho who does no work is tho man to pay for the absurd privilege of owning land. The business man whose industry and brains make the land valuable should certainly not pay tho taxes. The Beef Inquiry. From tlie Philadelphia Record.

Tlie "Sundowner" HI <1 His Mode ©# Exis tence—An a Rule f e U Well Informed nntl Fairly Moral—fee Will Work at Timet But Loves Bin Rent. Australia Is an ideal country foi tramps because of its universal hospi tality and delightful climate. There are no hardships of weather, no dangerous wild beasts to contend with, very few clothes required, and there is seldom a night, up-country at least, that a man may not roll himself in his blanket and sleep in comfort. The sundowner, so called because he invariably claims the hospitality of a "station" (ranch) at sundown —an hour when he knows he will not be turned away empty-handed—is the white tramp of Australia. He has so long been recognized as a necessary evil that at most stations a "travelers' hut" is now provided for his special accom modation; and a regular ration, usually j a pannikin of flour and a pound of , meat, is served out to every applicant. ' in other places, more democratic, I the sundowner takes his seat at the : table in the men's quarters. He can always depend upon his supper, bed, and breakfast at any station;' and he usually steals or begs from the cook 1 sufficient to make a hearty midday j meal. If the distances between sta- ! tions are too far to he traveled in a { single day, the swagsman rolls himself \ in his blanket and camps by the road- J side. If the distance he hut a few i miles, he revels in a genuine holiday, picnics for the day, perhaps, under the \ shade of a giant gum tree and arrives | at the station homestead, with all the ' appearance of a long day's walk, just a3 j the sun is setting. The Australian tramp is of a type j wholly different from the ignorant, j low-bred scum of humanity that one j meets in some countries, and from the i whining, professional beggar of Europe and America. As a class these tramps are well in- ' formed, fairly moral, and, as the world j goes, honest. The sundowner stands I apart from the rest of his kind, inas much as he never begs for money. He will ask for a pipeful of tobacco | or a drink, a meal or a bunk, but for I the coin of the realm he does not pe tition. He is a contented philosopher, with all the instincts of a nobleman; born, of course, under an unlucky star, J yet satisfied with his lot so long as he j is not obliged to work, and so long as the "squatters" feed him. One is constantly surprised at the ] speech and manners of those whom one meets on the road, and it is probable j that fully one-third are men who were J born of gentle parents in the "older j | countries." Australia being an English j j colony, the sundowner is usually a native of the British Isles, though j j there is a sprinkling of other national!- i I ties in proportion to their number in ; i the colonics. It is due to the native j horn Australians to say that they sol- i | dom turn tramps. Although against his principles, it j must be said, to the sundowner's credit, that he does sometimes work. There are times when even he feels the need i of a change. At shearing time, when the sheds are full of jolly shearers and good I wages may be demanded, he will often | work for a few weeks; or he may find ; some other easy way that suits his fas- j tidious fancy. With the proceeds he buys himself a | few clothes, perhaps, and "knocks i down" (spends) the remainder in the ! first bush public. Some there are who i wander aimlessly from one colony to ! another, ever seeking new paths: others, more methodical, have a regu lar route laid out. which takes from I two to three years to cover. In this way they do not visit the same station often enough to be recognized. Sundowning is the outgrowth of the boundless and unequalled hospitality I of tlie Australian bush. The occasional i sundown petitioner of the old days, 1 however, has now become an army, j To-day the squatter fears this wandar j ing tramp, and feeds him under protest, ! j knowing well that by refusing him he ! j uins the risk of having a woolshed burned down or some of his fat sheep killed. R IIMM i :III Itnttle SOIIIIH. Russian battle songs are written in i minor keys and instead of being bril j liantly martial are sad, telling of the soldier's fate. The Turks have no ! war songs except those they have ] translated from other tongues.

A Ileee I'arl.. ! The largest enclosure for deer is said \ to he the Royal Pai U in Copenhagen, of 4,200 acres, SEIZED BY AN OCTOPUS. Frightful Experience a Man Off the New Oulrtea Coa*t, The greatest enemies the divers had to fear in the waters of New Guinea was tlie dreaded octopus, whose pres ence occasioned far greater panic thau the appearance of a mere shark. These i loathsome monsters, says a veterac | diver, would sometimes come and , throw their horrible tentacles over the [ side of the frail craft from which tli divers weue working, and actually fas teu on to tlie men themselves, drug ging them out into the water. Al other times octopuses have been known to attack the divers down be low. and hold them relentlessly undei water until life was extinct. One ol our own men had a terribly narrow es cape from one of these fearful crea tures. I must explain, however, thai each evening, when the divers re turned from pearl iishiug. they roped all their little skiffs together and lei tlieni lie astern of the schooner. Well one night the wind rose and rain fell heavily, with tlie result that nexl morning all the little boats were found more or less waterlogged. Some of the Malays were told to go off and bale them out. While they were at work one of the men saw a mysterious? looking, black object in the sea. which so attracted his attention that he dived overboard to find out what it was. lit had barely reached the water, how ever. when an immense octopus rose iuto view, and at once made for the terrified man. who instantly saw hit danger, ami with great presence ol mind promptly turned and scrambled back into the boat. The terrible creature xvas after liiui however, urul to tlie horror of tlie on lookers, it extended its great flexible tentacles, enveloped the entire ,bon! man and all, and then dragged tlie whole down under the crystal sen. The diver's horrified comrades rushed to his assistance, and an attempt was made to kill the octopus with a har poon, but without success. Several ol his more resourceful companions then dived Into the water xvilh a big uei made of rope, which they took rigid beneath the oetupus, entangling tlie creature with its still living prey. The next siep was to drive up both man and octopus into the whuleboat, and this done, tlie unfortunate Malay was at length seized by bis legs and dragged by sheer force out of tlie frightful embrace, more dead than alive. However we soon revived hint by putting him in u very hot hath, the water being at such a temperature as actually to blister bis skin. It is most remarkable that Ibe man was uot al together drowned, as he had been held under water by tlie tentacles of tlie octopus for rather more thno two rain utes. Hut. like nil the Malays of out party, this man carried a knife, which he used to very good purpose on the monster's body when it first dragged him under water. These repeated stabs caused the creature to keep roll ing about on the surface. The un happy man was thus enabled to gel nil occasional breath of air, otherwise he must infallibly have been drowned. The octopus liad an oval body and was provided with an extraordinary num ber of teutacles—six very large ones and many smaller ones of various sizes, it was a horrible.looking crea ture. with n fiat, slim body, yellowish white in color, with black spots and a hideous cavity of a mouth, without teeth. II is the tentacles of the ereti lure that are so dreaded, ou account ol the Immense sucking power which which they possess. After this inci dent the divers always took a toma hawk with them cn their expeditions in order to lop of the tcnncles of any octopus thai might try lo attack then! Tlie Retired tluvglur.

' that we nil have a streak of sentiment in us, If we only knew it. 1 remember once going into ti bouse where I scooped in downstairs a miserable lit tie lot or worn and battered spoon? that looked as though generations of children bad chewed on 'em. and then going on upstairs in the hopes'of find ing something better.

That we sometimes oee with our minds as well as our eyes Is brought out interestingly by Joseph Jastrow in the current Popular Science Monthly. The following sections, with their il lustrations. afford striking examples of the tricks our eyes sometimes play ou us: True seeing, observing, is a double process, partly objective or outward— tlie thing seen and the retina —and partly subjective or inward—the pic ture mysteriously transferred to the mind's representative, the brain, and there received and affiliated with other Images. /\ FIG. 1. If we view outlines only, without | shading or perspective or anything to definitely suggest what is foreground .•ind what background, it becomes pos sible for the mind to supply these de- | tails and see foreground as back 1 ground and vice versa. A good example of this is sertn in Fig. 1. which represents in outline a truncated pyramid with a square base. Is tiu* smaller square nearer to you, and are the sides of the pyramid slop- | lug away from you toward the larger square in the rear? Or are you look- ; lug into the hollow of a truncated pyramid with the smaller squaTe in the background? Or is it now one and now the other, according as you decide to see it? Y^~r> \fczzk FIG. 2. Here (Fig.2) is a skeleton box which you may conceive as made of wires, j outlining the sides. Now the front. : or side nearest, seems directed down ward and to tlie left; again, it has j shifted its position and is no longer the front, and the side which appears , to be the front seems directed upward and to the right. The presence of the diagonal line makes the change more striking; in one position it runs from the left hand rear upper corner to the right-hand front lower corner, which in the other it connects the left-hand front upper corner with the right hand rear lower corner. Fig. 3 will probably seem at first glimpse to he the view of a tliglit of steps which one Is about to ascend from right to left.

For some the changes come at will; FIG. 4. for others they seem to come unex pectedly, but all arc aided by nutici- I pating mentally the nature of the transformation. The efl'ect here is quite striking, the blocks seeming al most animated and moving through ; space. All these diagrams serve to Illus trate the principle that when the oh- !

FOUND BU3HELS OF PEARLS. rrevloas (iems Tlimt Were Buried in Some I'rehUtorle Enrtliworka. Immense qnantile* of prehistoric pearls have been discovered during the [ last few years In the ancient mound? i erected by a forgot en race In the Mis . slssippi valley, especially at certuii points In Ohio, ami the evidence thus obtained proves that some of the chiefs whose people formerly Inhabit ed that region did actually possess 1 treasures in this form which far ex feed in value those owned by the rich est crowned heads to-day. In fact there are no collections of pearls in existence I at the present time that would com pare at all with those gathered by tlu aboriginal connoisseurs referred to. It some of the mounds pearls have beet found, not by hundreds or thousands but by .bushels—large numbers ol them approaching or even exceeding In size a hazelnut. How such enormous stores of them ! were gathered Is a problem not easily solved. The pearls were most certain l.v obtained from . species of mussel called the "uuio," which is still found in great abundance in many of tin: streams of this country; but in thost days the shellfish iu question musl have been far more plentiful than now. No more beautiful pearls exist in nature than those yielded by the uuio. and the collections described must have been nriuiflcient, indeed, iu tlie period of their glory. Unfortunately all of them hove been ruined by decay due to long burial, though an occasion nl specimen reveals something of its pristine beauty when its outer layers ! are peeled off. j in the famous Effigy mound, neat | Cliillicothe. Ohio, was found more than a gallon of pearls, with two skei- I etons. All had ben drilled with holes made witli a lieati 1 copper wire. This drilling was undoubtedly for the pur pose of attaching them to clothing 01 belts, as illustrated by the fact thai j •1(H) or 500 had been sewed originally upon a shirt worn by one of the skele ; tons. In other places in the same re gion more than forty bears' teetli with pearls set iu them were discovered j From a mound in the Little Miami j Valley Prof F. \V. Putnam obtained over (10.000 pearls (nearly two bushels) j drilled and undrilled. Two other tie i posits yielded upward of 100,000 j pearls. ! Plenty of evidence as to the posses sion of great stores of pearls by the j early aborigines of this country is af j forded by the writings of the Hrst ex j plorers of the new world. The at tun j tton of Columbus and other Spanish discoverers was attracted to the mat tor, and a story having a I tearing oo the saute subject is told by tlie follow ers of I>e Soto, who came upon au In dian town near what is now Tampa Bay. At one end of tlie town was a temple, on the top of which was : perched a wooden fowl, with gilded j eyes. In these eyes were pearls ot ! huge size. When the Indian queen whose uffme was tlelta, welcomed the strangers, she drew from over liei head a long string of pearls and threw j it around the neck of the lender of the expedition. The Spaniards returned litis courtesy by robbing the toralis iu Hie neighborhood, obtaining from then) j about 350 pounds of pearls. a Virgil'* lllg Nugget. | A single chunk of gold weighing ninety-eight pounds and worth $U,750: This was the size anil value of the uttg get that E.

It was a custom for a miner when he found a big uug | get to sit down on it. and. with a dish : of beans, wait till he could make a j safe disposition of it. In this ease we formed a procession and took the ; chunk to the express office, where the , amazement of the officials was great indeed. The chunk of gold had some quartz in it. but I received JUI.TfIO foi it. 1 suppose it must have been thrown where I found it from some distance. 1 and others had passed over the place i many times, hut never dreamed thai ;it was underneath.
