,r1NeroN MEMORIAL BRIDGE

ARLINGTON MEMORIAL BRIDGE
Secretary of War Lamont in his annual
report makes the following suggestion
in regard to a memorial bridge at
Arlington:
Improved means of communication
between Washington and the Virginia
shore must very soon be provided.
Another bridge is not only conceded
necessity to the population of both
sides of the Potomac and as an ap-
preach to the national cemetery at
Arlington, but also as military con-
yenience to bring the principal garrison
of the national capital within easy
reach of its streets and public buildings.
Twice have submitted the suggestion
that such a structure can easily be
made the most impressive of the worlds
memorials to heroism. The natural
advantages of the site are unsurpassed.
The region is associated with war as no
other region of our country, and the
sits is distinctly national. Such
memorial bridge, ornamented with
statues of our greatest warriors, with
symbolical figures of the strong quail
ties that warfare brings into play, and
with representations of the crucial
events in national history, would be
the same incompatible memorial to the
greatness of peaceful people aroused
by war as our single shaft to Washington
is the worthiest monument to individual
greatness which human genius has ",
executed. 1t is not proposed that the
establishment of the bridge shall now
be provided for, but it is urged that its
ultimate memorial character shall be
considered in the first designs and
earlies appropriations"

Odd Restoration of a Man Made Deaf
and Dumb by Dynamite.

and Dumb by Dynamite.
John Connell, an inmate of the city poor
farm at Marshalsea, Pa, since October,
was released today, says the Baltimore
American. When he went there Connell
was insane and dumb. His cure has been
effected by a clap of thunder. Director
George Booth, of the department of chart
ties, and Superintendent Lndeman, of the
farm, vouoh for the truth of the story.
On Sunday night last Connell went to
his room as usual. He had been acting
very queerly and his roommate was eau
toned to keep a watch over him. About
midnight the two were awakened by the
storm which began that night. The storm
was broken by the tremendous clap of
thunder. The peal had hardly died away
when Cornell sprang from his bed and rails
ed a shout that startled the entire building
Finding that he could shout, the man be-
gan dancing about the room. He yelled
clapped his hands, and sang, while tears
OF JOY ran down his face. Up to that
hour none in the establishment had known
his name. Being dumb, he could not give
any account of himself.
Now, however, he has given his name
as John Council, and says he was born in
P1ttsburg, and seven years ago went West.
Eventually he secured work at a mine
owned by California company. His two
brothers obtained work in. the same mine
One day there was a terrible explosion,
and Connell was the only man taken out
alive. His two brothers were killed. Con-
nell was removed to hospital maintained
by the miners union, and after being I'M
conscious for 96 hours recovered to find
his voice gone and his mind wandering.
He was awakened on Sunday night he
says by the clap OF thunder, and regards
his recovery as q miracle. During his
lucid intervals Council says he prayed fire.
Quently for q restoration Of his faculties.
He says the loss Of his hearing was attrib-
uted by the California doctors to the ex-
plosioQ Of dynamite IN the mine ..L,

A CANINE COPPER.
He Wears the Uniform and Is the Pet
Of In

The pride and pet of a very burly police
man in the big Second district is little
Ginger, a dog which makes it's home at
the station house, on Second street, near
Christian says the Philadelphia Record
Ginger is a diminutive specimen of the
dog family whose brownish hair gave him
the name. He wandered into the station
house about year ago, and has since at
tached himself to the affections of every
man on the force Ginger will stand in
front of the line as soberly and sedately
as if he was on the force himself, and
wheel about with the line when the men
march out. The men have provided the
dog with a blue coat, on which is a row of
brass police buttons, and pinned on one of
the lappels is a small police star. In this
uniform Ginger patrols the district from
Broad street to the Delaware, and is
known wherever he goes. The dog has IA
vorites among the men, with whom he
goes home for his meals. The house ser
geants are particularly fond of the bright
little pet, as he helps pass away the mon
otonous routine of desk duty, and would
not part with him for any price. A short
time ago, in Ginger's patrol of the DIS
trict, he was injured by a trolley car at
Tenth and Christian streets. An ambu-
lance was summoned from the University
Hospital, which has a department for ami
mails, and he was sent there and remained
three weeks until his lacerated leg was en-
tirely healed, The policemen at the station

LANGUAGE OF THE HEN.
Notes of Warning, Calls to Dinner
and Other Methods Of COmmunica-

ton.
TheFordinary domestic fowl affords the
most positive evidence of the possession of
language that is understood, says a
writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch. There
are many decidedly different calls, which II
taken down in a photograph and repeated
In hen house or yard would produce in
teresting results. I need but mention q
few calls to illustrate the range of sounds
in the domestic fowls. On a warm day,
when hens are released from their coop,
when their minds are nndisturbed and all
nature looks bright and inviting, they sing
as they feed-a continuous repetition of
kerr-kerr-kerr, with various modulatiOns
The rooster never utters it, nor the mother
hen it is the song of the happy-go-lucky
hen of creation. Now let a hawk appear
in the sky or any disturbing element; an
entirely different sound is heard. The hen
stops, stretches her head upward; and
with the cock, utters a decided note of
warning in a high falsetto, k-a-r-r-r-e!
And if the enemy still comes on it is re-
peated, and every bird in the vicinity low
ers it's head and runs TO cover. The sound
says in the Gallus language: "An enemy
is coming, run!' and run they do, the
kerr-kerr-kerr being discontin only
when all danger is past. Note the joyous
call of the hen that has laid an egg. Cut
cut, ca-da-cut! comes oft repeated from
the hen house, and other envious hens are
informed beyond any question or mistake
that Mrs. Gallus has laid egg.
Now, when the eggs are Matched we have
other and maternal notes. There is deep,
monotonous cluck, cluck! that is warn
ing to others and a general admOnition of
the chicks to remain near but it is not a
call. Note the difference when the mother
or proud cock finds worm. The cock ap
pears to be greatly excited, and he pre-
tends to peck at it, make the guleless hens
believe that he is about to devour the bonnie
bouche himself; all the time he is saying
cut, cut, outcome, come come-rapidly,
his direction, to find in many instances
nothing, being merely device to call the
flock away from some rival. But in the
case of the mother the little ones always
find some tidbit which she has discovered.
l will not attempt to produce the baby
talk of the old hen to her chicds, but it eX
lists in great variety, and is suggestive of
tenderness, affection and solicitude. When
the hen has her brood beneath her ample
folds she often utters a sound like c-r-a-w
z-z-e of half warning and contentmcnt. And
when intruder enters the coop after
dark she utters a high, prolonged Whst'ing
note like w-h-o-o-e, softly repeated, indica-
tive of wonder and slight alarm.
If the fox or coyote or other enemy
seize her, how quickly comes an entirely
different cry-a scream of terror and
alarm, c-i-a-i-a-i-o-u, repeated again and
again, and full of meaning that the
owner some distance away, reaches for
his shotgun and answers the signal of
distress.

''WHY SO SAD, WILLIE ~
Police Court Incident That Made
Even Lady Somerset Laugh.


Even Lady Somerset Laugh.
All London is laughing now over a bit of
testimony that was given in the hearings
on Lady Henry Somersets crusade against
the London music halls, says the New York
Herald. Not to be behind our own DR..
Parkhurst when he began his crusade,
Lady Henry Somerset determined to take
the bull by the horns and collect evidence
herself She secured another lady as zeal
Gus as herself as a companion, and the pair
obtained the services of a young curate of
their acquaintance as male escort.
Now, it happens that Lady Somerset is a
woman of very generous proportions and,
withal, so handsomely made that some OF
the ungodly have been wicked enough to
suggest that her ladyship would make an
enchanting living picture herself. 1t
CHANGED, also, that the lady who was to ac-
company her was Of q similarly generous
build if anything, rather the larger Of the
two On the other hand. the young curate
was light and weakened, with a pale mild
face, that bore a perpetual air of melan-
choly.
The trip was made, and when the ietec-
tive party was placed upon the stand during
the hearing the justice asked her ladyship
if in her travels about in the Slums she had
been molested accosted in any offensive
way. Lady Henry was compelled to reply
that she had not but that on the contrary,
she had rather respectful reatment. Her
companion gave similar testimony.
When the little curate took the stand the
judge asked the same question of him-if he
had been accOsted.
Yes replied the little man in a shrill
voice, land very extensively, too.''
"Well, said the judge, what did the
women say to your"
'fWell, SIR the curate declared, with
comical indignation. lin one of the musical
halls couple of women came up to me and
one of them brazenly chuckled me under
the chin and said: why SO sad Wilie?'
Even Lady Henry Somerset could not sup
press her laughter.

ENCKE'S COMET.
Little Visitor That Travels by n Gu
riOusly REGULAR Time Table.

riOusly Regular Time Table,
Encke's comet, which has just been dis
covered on its return by the Italian as
tronomer Cerulli, who has private OBJ
servatory in the southern portion of the
kingdom, is Of the best known of the
Jupiter group of comets, says the Boston
Evening Transcript. This group so far as
known, consists Of 10 objects, all of which
are members of our solar system and are
revolving about our sun in orbits of from
312 years to about double that time. The
group is SO called because there is every
reason to believe that these wanderers
were intercepted in their path through
space by the giant planet Jupiter, and per-
turbed into orbits about the sun, the dis
tant end of which lies in the neighbour
hood of the orbit of this planet.
Encke's comet is the most noted of this
group, having been known to astronomers
for upward of a century, and having been
sufficiently well observed to conform very
closely to it's computed path. 1t was first
seen by Mechain, of Paris, on Jan. II, 1885,
and was again discovered by Miss Caroline
Herschel in November, 1885, and after a
few days by other astronomers. 1t was
again observed in 1885, but none of the
astronomers at the time knew of the
identity Of the objects which they saw
In the winter of 181S-19 it was visible for
some seven weeks. and Encke busted him
self with the computation of it's orbit. In
a remarkably short time he had his COM
putatons finished and able to show
that it was moving in an orbit Of 80 years
period, that the comets above enumerated
were identical with it, and that it had APP
preached the sun Is times in the intervals
unObserVed.
Encke next computed the time of it's
return, announcing this date May a.
1922, having been delayed on the way some
nine days by the attraction of Jupiter
and, according to this time table, the OBJ
ject was again observed on it's return
This computation of Encke's was a most
remarkable one involving as it did some
of the most intricate and laborious prob
lens known by the astronomers of the
time.
