City Engineer Charles scratching hia --d, and wondi'i In", several skeptical officials, and n hi. l of large black chunks of con! tar. created some mild interest on North A street, between Sixth and Seventh this afternoon. Tho city received i sample of tar for street treatment some time ago. Today it was tented. Genn and his crew built a raging fire under n pot of tho frtuff, but it would not melt.

lOnglish note that the Spanish throne is tottering under the continuous blows rained upon the royal family by the Spanish republicans, who confidently announce that Spain will be a republic like Portugal, before five years have passed and possibly before the end of the present year. The republicans of Spain have recently altered their tactics. Instead of attacking the monarchial system as before they now attack the young king whom they daily describe as a licentious and vicious idler without, any other interests than that of enjoying the pleasures of life at the expense of his poor tax ridden people. Day after day they print statements showing how the king and his family are draining the country without rendering any public service whatever in return. So violent, have these attacks become that the advisers of the king have considered It necessary to take official notice of them and have published a statement of royal revenues and expenses, showing that the king and his family give work and pay wages to more than 3,000 families, the majority of whom belong to the working class. In spite of this, animosity against the king is rapidly growing, owing more than anything else to the fact that M. Crsaiz, a former secretary of the treasury stated on the floor of the Spanish cabinet that the king and his whole family were a set of embezzlers and had had the audacity to invest, most of their private fortune in the Spanish national debt. Words like these were not spoken In vain in the midst of a highly emotional people like the Spanish, who in their ignorance take the accusation to mean that King Alfonso is a traitor to the country and that it would be a patriotic deed to murder him or drive him out of the country.

SECRETARY NAGELi CAN NOT ATTEND

" Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce and labor In President Taft's cabinet, has written the program committee arranging for speakers for the annual Commercial Club banquet to be held at the Y. M C. A. May 2. that It Hill be impossible for him to speak here at that time. In a letter to Postmaster K. M. Haas, chairman of the committee, he declares the extra session of congress demands that he be in Washington at that time. Persistent efforts have been made to secure Mr. Nagel for an address In Richmond at various events in the last year or so, but all have been fruitless.

BLAZE THREATENED UNDERBILL'S PLACE

While the Are department was fighting a roof Are at the home of Henry Itrokamp. 2 Sherman street, where a loss of $400 was caused, another alarm was sent in from No. 3 hose, house. A small roof blaze on the building at 1532 Main street, owned

by Alfred Viiderhlll was the cause of

this alarm. The damage was slight. j . , . , . . ..

In the little suburban village of Hendon less than seven miles, as the crow flies from the royal palace of Buckingham, Sir Hiram .Maxim, because of his great love of peace, is planning to construct tho most formidable engines of destruction the world has ever seen, hoping to make war impossible in a near future. On a smooth si retch of ground comprising nearly loo acres, Mr. Maxim, Mr. Graham While nil M. Hleriot, working together lo. the first time, will erect the most up-to-date aeroplane factory in the vorld. in which aero lanes are to be built, half a dozen of which will be enough to defend

the coast of England against any attempted German attack and send the

constructional facility at their command, and wilh a large staff of skilled

workers to call upon, these three renowned experts will collaborate in the

construction of new types of aero

planes which will be built in the factory and Immediately tested on the neighboring aerodrome by special pilots. Mr. Graham Wh'ite, M. Hleriot and Sir Hiram Maxim will direct keen attention to the development of the war aeroplane; to the evolution of simple, proctocal machines to encourage the sporting and' pleasure seeking aspects of airmanship; and also

to the building of special passenger-

All three, judging from their expert knowledge of flying, believe that, now the aeroplane has emerged from the experimental Into the practical, there will be during the coming season, a vast forward stride in connection with airmanship, chiefly as regards its military and sporting posibilities, and also in the matter of pleasure cruises and organized tours through the air. To popularize the making of tours throughout England by aeroplanes, also to stimulate week end aeroplane trips undertaken in the same way as motor car "week ends" are now enjoyed, Mr. Graham White and others are seeking to arrange special aerodromes, with sheds and facilities to be erected at pleasure resorts throughout the country.

Saxon, Celt, Asiatic and Afircan, men and women from the frozen regions and the torrid zone will be seen at the exhibition. It will be a new Babel, but one with a harmonious pur)ose. that of giving pleasure to its thousands of visitors. In the Indian section, duplicates of some of the most magnificent palaces of the dependency will be constructed, such as the palace at Delhi built by Shah Jehan, and the Taj Mahul. at Agra. Delhi which is to be the scene of the coronation durbar, and is famous alike in the literature of India and of Euroie. About 9.(M.i(i men are at work in the exhibition buildings and grounds, including 50 clever Italian modellers of figures of all kinds, human and animal graceful and fantastic. One of the most interesting of the reproductions will be that of the Cave of Elephants, which, situated on a small island In the harbor of Bombay, contains some extraordinary mythological figures and shrines of gods. A series of great waterfalls, will be reconstructed, representing those of Niagara, the Zambesi, and Waiora, in New Zealand, and over these 3.000,000 gallons of water will flow every day.

EASTER EGGS GIVEN R. F. D. CARRIERS

An Easter shower was arranged by patrons on the routes of three rural mail carriers Saturday, and from the amount of provisions which the three carriers brought back with them it seemed as though the showers in reality were storms. Alex Martin, rural route carrier No. 4, returned to the office Saturday afternoon with two large baskets almost overflowing with eggs, of chicken, duck and goose variety, although the chicken predominated. Harry Fisher, rural route carrier No. 7, showed the following results of the shower that rained on him: 16 dozen eggs, one dressed chicken, 2 bouquets of flowers, and 1 box of candy. Seventeen dozen eggs flowed into the possession of George Cu'.bertson, rural route carrier Xo. 6. Patrons along the routes of the three carriers had arranged the showers as a surprise for Uncle Sam's employes. At the first boxes on the routes the carriers found large baskets addressed to them with the information "Take this basket along. You'll need it before you get through." "At subsequent boxes the carriers found eggs in various quantities and other donations.

REINDEER IN LAPLAND.

They Furnish the People With Shelter, Clothing and Food. Some people have said that the reindeer of the northern regions is to the inhabitants of those countries what the horse, cow and sheep together are to the dwellers in southern lands, and very probably they are right. What would the Laplander be were he deprived of his favorite? How could he travel without his pair of reindeer harnessed to his sledge? The reindeer has large black hoofs.

behind which are false or secondary hoofs; the result is that when running they make a clattering sound, which may be heard a good distance away. The reindeer has much endurance and takes a long Journey without seeming tired, though it is only about four and a half feet in height and not very strong. Its horns are long and slender, with branched, rounded antlers, but they are not much used in combat. like those of some other deer. The largest reindeer are found where the weather is coldest, and their color is lighter. Usually it is brown and white, but in the case of old animals the hair is sometimes quite white. From the skin of the reindeer the Laplanders get not only their clothes, but also bedding and tents; the milk is drunk and made into cheese and the flesh is also good to eat. the tongue and haunches being particularly liked remmican, an Important article of food, is made by pouring fat over the pounded meat and mixing them well together.
