The typographical Union.

ST. LOUIS, June 6th.-The President
of the International Typographical
Union, in his address to-day, said there
were too many compositors outside the
Union, and urged that this should be
overcome. Resolutions endorsing the
action of the iron and steel workers and
declaring it the duty of all Typograph-
ical Unions and wage workers to lend
moral and material support to the strike
till its objects are attained, were adopted.

Adjournment OF Congress.

CHICAGO, June Gth.-Specials from
Washington say that the general impres
sion is now that Congress will adjourn
about the 10th of July. The House
manifests disposition to go to worl,
and as the Senate keeps up, the work
will probably be got through with in
about month. There is little prospect
of any of the larger enterprises, such as
the improvement of the navy or the in
ter.oceanic ship canal getting through.

Mysterious Shooting Mt Aqua
Mansa.

Cotton, May 6th.-Yesterday even
ing, about o'clock, mysterious shoot
ing occurred at Aqua Mansa, about one
mile from this place. Two children,
Josefa Salazar and Cecilia Jaramillo,
about fourteen ana twelve years of age,
were planting onions on the ranch of
Juan Salazar, the father of the Oldest
girl. There was a shotgun discharged
from brush fence. The shot struck
the eldest girl in the index finger of the
left hand and in the right thumb and
seriously wounding Cecilia in both
hands and throat. Drs. +. p. Truxell
and Ozias were called upon and dressed
the wounds of the children and found
it necessary to amputate two of the fore
fingers and thumb of the left hand of
Cecilia Jaramillo. The shooting has
caused great deal of excitement among
the Spanish population of Aqua Mansa,
but as yet no clue to the perpetrator
can be had, although the authorities are
looking the matter up.

The Oregon Legislature Doubtful.

PORTLAND. June 6th.-Congressman
George is certainly elected by major
ity not less than 1000. The Repub-
licans claim the entire State ticket by
majorities ranging from 700 to 1900.
The Democrats concede the State to the
Republicans by small majorities. The
lines to Eastern Oregon have been down
for two days and the precincts east of
the Cascade mountains have not been
heard from and the Legislature is doubt
full. Eastern Oregon has had large
immigration in the past two years, most
of whom are believed to be Republi-
cans. Either way the Legislature will
be close and its complexion cannot be
known for two or three days.

The Greatest City in the World.

The last English census shows that
London has been gaining rapidly in
population duling the last ten wears.
1t now contains 1914, 81 inhabitants,
or 560,3l1 more than 1871. It's in
crease was only a little over II per
cent, and yet so vast was its popnla-
ton in 1871 that, during the ten years
it has added more to that total in actual
numbers more people than our thirty
ing city of Chicago now contains, and
nearly as many as are included in
Brooklyn, the third city of the Union in
size.
During the period from 1870 to 1880,
Now York increased % per cent. (; but it
gained only 264, 2s5 inhabitants, not half
so many rs were added to London be-
tween 1871 and 1881 and its population
last year was considered less than a
third of that of the English capital. If
our proportionate increase continues to
be so much larger than hat of London,
of course we will in due time catch up
with the older city, and put it in the
second place a to size but that day is
still far off, and as New York grows
more populous it may show a smaller
rate of increase. The remarkable thing
about London is that a city of such un-
paralleled magnitude, in the midst of an
old civilization, has been growing at a
rate which, if continued, will give it
double its present population less than
O century hence. Since 1861 it has
gained over 33 per cent. If it keeps on
increasing in that proportion, by the
end of the first quarter of the twentieth
century it viii contain about 1000, 900
of people.
But such estimates of what will hap
pen in the future have only q curious
interest. Many causes may contribute
to make the growth of London much
less proportionately during the next fifty
years than it has been during the TWEEN
ty just passed. It is an impressive fact,
however, that so Tast . capital, already
far ahead of any other city in the world
in population, should have increased
one-third in twenty years, and hat it
should be now three times as large as it
was sixty Years ago.
The population of London was 1,37S,-
600 in 1921. 1t has, therefore, gained
nearly 2, 800, 600 inhabitants since then.
The population Of New York was 123,-
706 in 1910, and in 1880 it was nearly
ten times that. During the twenty
years from 1860 to 1880 It gained about
one-half, against the increase of one
third in London between 1S61 and 1881.
Ii IS safe to estimate that at the begin
ming OF the next century we shall have
made another gain that would give us
1900, 600. Even then, therefore, New
York would contain less than half the
present population of London; and, if
that city added q third during the TWEEN
ty years, it would still contain nearly
three times as many people as New
York.--Neag York San.

Measuring by The Eve.

A correspondent Of the Boston Tran
script suggests that children should be
exercised in measuring by the eye. He
says that years ago, when he went to
school In a little weather beaten school
house. the SCHOLARS bad most exciting
contests over the teachers f~avorite ex-
ercise Of having them estimate with the
eve the size and weight of different OBJ
jects in the room.
He won q ho,d up his cane and have
each scholar tell how long he thought it
was, and It was a lucky child that could
come within . half a foot of the right
length.
He would measure an urchin and then
have the scholars try to reproduce the
measure on the wall. He would mark
off an inch, or a foot, or a yard, in some
conspicuous place, and then see how
near anyhudT could come to clalking
the same length upon the blackboard.
And it was astonishing how vide
astray one would go, Ire fact is, i
eyes dc eiyed rs ridieulaugly, Y upon
the commonest things.
At first thought which goald YOU say
was the taller, a 3-yeaF old child or a
barrel of flour? And could anything
but actual measurement convince you
that the same child Is half as high as q
six-footer?
There is an old saying hat q child 2
years old is half as tall as he ever will
be, and after a few experiments in meas
uring one can easily hI eve it, but not
before.

The Memory OF Ants.
Ponnlnr Science Monthlp.1


The general fact hat whenever an
ant finds her way to a store of food or
larvae she will return to it again and
again in a more or less direct line from
the nest, constitutes ample proof that
the ant remembers her way to the store
of food. 1t is of interest to note that the
nature of this insect memory appears to
be identical with that of memory in gen
eral. Thus a new fact becomes i'm
pressed upon ants memory, by repiti-'
ton, and the impression is liable to be-
come effaced by q lapse of time. Sir
John Lubbock found it necessary to
teach the insects, by a REPETITION of sever
al lessons, their way to treasure, if that
way were long orunusual. With regard
to the duration of memory / ants, it
does not appear that any direct expert
ments have been made; but the follow
ing observation by Mr.. Belt on its ap-
parent duration in the leaf cutting ant
may here be stated: In June, 1859, ne
found his garden invaded by these ants,
and on following up their paths he
found their nest about a hundred yards
distant. He poured down their burrows
a pint of diluted carbolic acid. The
~marauding parties were at once drawn
off from the garden to meet the danger
Mt home, while in the burrows them
elves the greatest confusion prevailed.
Next day he found the ants busily en-
gagged in bringing up the ant food from
the old burrows, and carrying it to new
ly formed ones a few yards distant.
These, however, turned out to be in
tended only as temporary repositories;
for in a few days both old and new bur-
rows were entirely deserted, so that he
supposed oil the ants to have died.
Subsequently, however, he found that
they had migrated to anew site about
two hundred yards from the old one,
and there established themselves in q
new nest. Twelve months later the ants
again invaded his garden, and again he
treated them to a strong dose of car
bolic acid. The ants, as on the previ-
Gus occasion, were at nee withdrawn
from the garden. and two days after
wards he found all the survivors ut work
on one track that led directly TO the old
nest of the year before, where they were
busily engaged in making new exeava-
tons. 1t was q wholesale and entire
migration. Mr.. Belt adds: ~ do not
doubt that some of the leading minds
in this formicarium recollected the nest
of the year before, and directed the
migration to it"

Darwin.

Charles Robert Darwin is the son Of
DIR. II. w. Darwin, and grandson of DR..
Erasmus Darwin, both of whom rose to
distinction. The naturalist and author
was born at Shrewsbury, Feb. II, 1909.
and received his early education at a
grammar school there; and when sixteen
years of age went to the University OF
Edinburgh, studying two years, and
and then entered Christ's College, Cam
bridge, where he took his degree in
1881. The autumn of that wear found
him volunteering as naturalist to accom-
pany Captain Fitzroy, in the ship Bea-
gle, on his exploring expedition around
the world. The voyage lasted from 1881
- 1886, and during it the greater part Of
the South American coast, the Pacific
islands, Australia, New Zealand, and the
Mauritius were visited and examined.
During this voyage Darwin was elected
s. Fellow of the Royal Society. When
several volumes on this voyage were pub
llshed, he contriblte papers on the dis
eoyeries in natural history and geology,
and several editions were issued. His
more recent works include the Origin

Are Sharks Man. Eaters.

AEHAN'' ~ A'@NAJ
Our younger readers will be surprised
and shocked to hear that a book has re-
Gently been published with the sole OBJ
ject OF proving that, contrary to the
settled belief of centuries, sharks do not
eat human beings or animals. The
author of 'aAre Sharks Man-eaters2"
says that he has examined hundreds of
seamen, whalemen, pearl-divers, South
Sea Islanders, kroomen wreckers, those
whose lives are mostly spent upon water,
and he can state positively that he had
never seen or heard of a well-authenti-
Gated instance of a shark seizing and
carrying offa living man or a living land
animal of any kind whatever. In order
to prove at least that the author is not
afraid of sharks, he SAYS he has made a
had an opportunity to do so, without
any consideration for sharks, and that
he has seen hundreds of others doing
the same thing all over the tropical wa
tiers infested by sharks. More than that
she has been overheard with two ON
p~anions, far from relief of any kind,
within five fathoms of three large sharks
of the most blndly voracious variety,
whose large fins were plainly in sight
between them and the shore, to which
they were swimming" Naked divers
he has also seer Jump from a boat al
most on top of a ground shark. Never
theless, in spite of tins testimony, we
believe there is good evidence to show
that sharks do eat men-or kill them, at
least-when they get a chance. We
shrink frem believing that all Of the
thrilling stories of 'tdeath struggles
with sharks" etc, are pure romance.
And what a loss to the juvenile repertory
Of marvelsl We can't afford to lose the
man eating shark.

INSPECTION.
DANIEL r. MCKENZIE.

Last night the Rodman Rifles were
submitted to an annual inspection by Major
Vance, Inspector of the Second Brigade,
I. n. G.
At an early hour Armory Hall was filled
with the members of the company, and the
balcony contained numerous invited guests,
among whom were number of ladies.
About fifty members of the company re-
ported. After a drill the company was
inspected by MajorVance, who was accom-
panied by Col. Ciendenin, Capt. Porter, of
Moline, and Captail Ayers, of Cambridge.
At the conclusion of the inspection the
company was put through lively drill
1t was the general impression of those in
attendance that the company did not ap-
pear to the best advantage, while they exc
cuted the different movements in fair
manner, the drill was not up to the stand
ard of excellence for which the Rifles are
celebrated, and for which they have, to
say the least, general state reputation.
AT a late hour after the drill had been
concluded, the members of the company
and their guests enjoyed lunch which
had been prepared by A. Herkert in Turn
er Hall.
