It will be a decidedly Inter- esting experiment for ail newspaper men as well as for the public. The paper will have an unfamiliar look, as the first order which Mr. Harmsworth issued in connection with his work was the changing of the apparent size of the paper.

Instructions were given to the editorial staff on Saturday night that the experi- ment was to be tried and the young Eng- lisn newspaper man will find a kindly dis- posed staff. They will also be fair to look upon, for it was decided at a meeting of the office force—the various editors. copy readers and executives—that they should appear in all the gladness of thefr even- ing clothes in order to add splendor to the occasion. Alfred Harmsworth is the owner of thirty English periodicals in addition to the London Daily Mail. Two months ago it was sald he was negotiating for the London Times. He began as office boy on Tid-Bits twenty years ago, with a salary of 10 shillings per week. In two vears he became the editor of a weekly run in conjunction with the Illustrated London News. In seven years he had saved $7000, and with that sum started his first weekly, Answers. He was joined by his brothers; and one by one he has added to his publications until their com- bined circulation has reac®ed the total of 15,000,000 copies a week. Among them is Harmsworth Magazine, which alone has a circulation of 1.000,000. kis great suc- cess is due to the introduction of Ameri- can methods into his publications. Mr. Harmsworth s the son of a lawyer. He is 34 years old, and In twenty years has made $20,000,000 out of his publications. OSEREE “I witnessed many brutalities remained in the insane pavilion.

A tug finally came to the assistance of the fishermen and the big serpent was lassoed and towed into town. Now he is on exhibition in a big vat of water.
