NO BREAKS IN THE LINES.
ONLY HALF A DOZEN ANTI-MACHINE
MEN WEAKENED.
THE GEORGE BLISS REPUBLICANS. HOWEVER,
BEGAN TO MAKE BIG CLAIMS FOR THEIR
ENROLMENT LAST NIGHT.

BEGAN TO MAKE BIG CLAIMS FOR THEIR
ENROLMENT LAST NIGHT.
The fact that the new enrolment OF the George
Bliss Republican County Committee was hasco
clear to politicians Of all parties yesterday; 80
the leaders OF the machine felt called on last night
to do some optimistic estimating. 1t was little
late. however to begin to give the impression that
any considerable number OF Anti-Machne Republic
cans had gone to the other side. On Wednes'
day nigh, the leaders OF the George Bliss Re-
publican organization were free TO admit not only
that the enrolment exceedingly light. but also
that 1t had not caught any appreciable number Of
Milholland men.
Last night, however the tactics were changed. and
some tall claims were made. 1t was even suggested
by some Of the calcuators that 900 persons had en-
rolled on Wednesday and nearly as many more last
night. that perhaps 400 names had been regis
tered. 1t further declared that serious inroads
had been made last night into the Anti-Machine
organization in various districts.
At the headquarters of the George Bliss faction
In the Abbey Building few figures were given
out Of the enrolment 1t was said that the Xlth
Assembly District had made an especially fine
.now,ns; that IN one election u'suric'' ie mir
another. the Tnirty-third. sixteen men. al former
rolled. and in the Thirty fourth Election District
three had enrolled. Other figures given were: mir
tieth Election District Of the Xih Assembly District
2; Thirty fth. OF the XVIII, 10; Thirteenth, or the
XXIIId, L. and Tenth, OF the XXVIlth.
At the State club there was great rejoicing over
the steadfastness with which the Anti-Machine men
had stuck To their colors 1t was not believed that
100 of them had gone over to the enemy In fact
only six desertions record. Reports were
received that In several Assembly districts only
one enrolling place open, instead Of one for
each election district. In the Nth. With. With,
XVIII and NXNlth Assembly Districts there was
no enrolment according 10 the Information received
at tho State club. Some figures at the club from
watchers were: I'D Assembly D,sirlet Il; lNth; 9;
NII1th. 26 Nth. ~. XIIIth .: XVIlth IS; XyIIith:
rs and NNIid, II. Tines" reports indicated that
the total enrolment both nights was less than
go
Police Justice Meade expressed his surprise last
night that in the entire XIIlth Assembly District
not a single man had left the Miho.land ranks TO
sign the roll OF the George Bliss County Committee.

Aids to Longevity.

There are two sorts of pressure
which tend Il shorten life-blood
pressure within and atmospheric
pressure without. This latter Is a
specially important factor III u humid
climate like our own. Ia advancing
age the circulation of the blood and
lymph tends to become slow, and the
eufeebled heart finds its embarTass-
ments increased by this condition.
OF almost equal Importance, at amy
rate in Great Britain, is the question
of atmospheric pressure and moisture
to aged persons. Situations which
are at once low lying and damp give,
of course, a maximum of atmospheric
pressure. Such pressure weighs
down at a single stroke body, mind
and life.
The difference to aged persons be
tween living at the sea level and liv-
ing 500 feet above it, between living
in a moist atmosphere and living i'll
a dry one, is sometimes quite meal
culable. Not seldom life may be
heightened by five or even ten years
by living in an atmosphere which Is
both light and dry. These physiolog
zeal considerations are commended
To the aged and 10 the physicians of
the aged. While physiological eX-
plorers are busy i'll the laboratory
clinicians mustnot imagine that new

Fans being a necessity of life IN
Japan, they are seen there i'll endless
variety, from the cheap combination
of bamboo and spangled paper to the
costly embroidered affairs used for
ceremonial dances, where they form
accessories Of much importance.
There are many curious uses for
them. The umpire at wrestling and
fencing matches uses "A heavy one
shaped like a huge butterfly, the
handle being the body and rendered
imposing by heavy cords of silk.
The various motions of the fan con-
stitute a language which the wres-
tiers fully understand and appreciate.
Formerly, in the time of war, the
japanese commander used a large
fan having a frame of iron covered
with thick paper. In case of danger
it could be closed, and Il blow from
its iron bones was no light affair.
One notable variety of fan is made
of waterproof paper, which can be

of rough paper is often used as a

Animals In Captivity.

An interesting thing to lie noted re
garding animals n captivity-partic-
ularly beasts of prey belonging To the
cat tribe-is that their habits under
go a complete change after they lose
their liberty. Visit the animal houses
at Central park, and you will find
their occupants, almost without eX-
ception, wide awake. They do their
sleeping at night, But in their wild
state these tigers, lions, panthers,
cougars and so on rested in the day
time and went out looking for prey
late in the afternoon, and often not
before SHUTDOWN. Their season of ac-
tivitv terminated with the passing of
darkness. Then they sought their
dens or lairs unless hunger remained
unappeased.
As Gagged specimens of their kind
they eyers the natural order of rest
and exercise. They secure their food
without effort and lead an aimless
existence, longing. doubtless. III Il

During the Mexican war. in 1916,
Captain kenly received orders from
General Quitman To march with a
guard To a ford in the Santander
river and prevent its passage by the
Mexicans. He reached the place,
posted his men, with strict injunc-

bank where he could overlook the
ford.
Suddenly there came the report of
a gun, fired by one of his sentries.

sentry, a Georgian, coolly reloading

strength of Pneumatic Tires.

There has been so much said about
punctures i'll connection with pneu-
matte tires that many persons have
arrived at the conclusion that Il hi
cycle equipped with one is the most
uncertain vehicle that a man can
own. The puncture, when it does
come. j. most annoying, especially
when one isfar away from home, for
it entails, if it cannot be temporarily
repaired, some petlestriauism. and
naturally the experience after it is all
over is told with Il great deal of EN-
bellishment. But these casualties are
very few compared with the great
number of riders. Instances are CON
tinually being given of riders who
have made over 5000 miles on these
tires i'll il single seaso without pune
ture, and what more could be askedl
Pneumatic tires are generally made
of the best of Para rubber, and like
wise of duck, and when SO construct
ed are very durable, usually being
proof against all minor casualties.
