MOMENTOUS DAY FOR GREECE
Wont Give Answer to the Powers Ultima
Athens, March THE time for
Greeoe's formal reply to the ultimatum
Of the powers Is rapidly drawing nigh;
and 1t is generally known the
rsply will be a refusal of the terms
sought to be imposed. 1t Is evident the
powers intend to carry Into effect their
threat to blockade the Phaeus as soon as
Greece's answer is delivered to them.
One bright spot in the situation today IL
that enforcement of tho recent decree.

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE EAST.
Greeks Give to the Demands of the
Powers.
Berlin, March 6.-The authorities OF
the foreign office here continue to ex-
press confidence in the ultimate submits
sion Of Greece to the demands OF the pow
ers for the withdrawal Of the Greek fleet
and troops from Crete, though the King
and the government Of Greece, for rea-
sons Of domestic policy, may 20 to the
most extreme verge of war with Turkey
before complying with the requirements
of the Powers demands. The latest
official advices received here from Athens
point to the certainty that the foreign
representatives will leave the Greek
capital Tuesday II the reply OF the gov
ernment OF Greece to the uItimatum OF
the Powers Is unsatisfactory.
The tenor of the reply to Greece to the
demands of the Powers Is already known
from the personal communications of
Premier Delyannis to the foreign minis
ters, and the answer will be substantial
" that Greece declines to withdraw her
troops from Crete altogether, but will
offer to station them in certain districts
OF the island provided the Turkish troops
be confined to certain other sections, while
the Cretans shall be allowed freedom to
vote upon the question whether the isl.
and shall be annexed to Greece or placed
under an autonomous administration.
This plan is known to have the approval
of France, Italy and Great Britain. but
the attitude Of Austria il doubtful. The
Kaiser and the Czar, however. will be
certain to reject this method of setGle-
n,ent and will insist that a complete
evacuation Of the island by Greece must
be preliminary to further negotiations.
The terms of the reply will lead to pro-
longed exchange Of communications be-
tween the Powers and cause a cessation
OF action upon all sides in the meantime.
Ii. as the result of the communications
between the Powers, the blockade OF the
graeus should be enforced there is still,
however, a prospect Of the settlement Of
the trouble without resort to arms.

An Italian brigand having died after most notorious and remarkable career, even for man in his profession, his brain was giyento a scientist for ex- animation in order to discover, if pos sible, whether there was any difference between it and the honest, or normal brain. After exhaustive experiments, the professor in charge was forced to admit that he could find nothing ab- normal about the brain structure. Ac- cording to all known laws on the sub jeet, the man was possessed of great ability, and, the professor says, might have been great man. As the brigand was murderer, thief and @ bad lot generally, it would seem that the fact of there being no abnormal conditions in the brain might have a bearing on the Guch-discussed subject of brain struc- ture. Some time since a suggestion was made that intelligent people and those of eminence in their professions should will their brains to society for scientific investigation, in order to de- termine, by comparison, what were the causes of criminal tendencies. and what brain conditions these tendencies brought about.-N.

Tn fact. in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and fheV recovered. Their condition, however, sgas more tho result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered femperature of 10 degrees is not as oppres- eive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fuils 90 degrees. At nearly all times there is q pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably Cool in the summer, and outdoor labor IS performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does tne thermometer get be- low the freezingcs soint in winter, and in the gardens of tlorence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,

MOTHER LOVE IN SNAKES.
A Marked Exhibition OF 1t Witnessed
nv Il Naturalist.

Even the cold-blooded and clammy
snake evinces maternal affection, and
am fortunately able to produce evil
dence corroborative of this statement
that is fresh in my memory. On March
20, while seated on my front porch, |
noticed one of my dogs, yearling
puppy, acting in peculiar way in my
lawn. He was circling around a small
circumscribed spot, every now and
then thrusting his nose toward the
ground and then quickly jumping
back.
On approaching the animal 1 discov-
cred that the object of his playful as
saults was a bunch or ball of snakes, a
three or four-year-old mother and her
last years brood of young. The day
was very warm, the sun shining cleay
and bright and these creatures had
emerged from their den or nest in the
ground, foot or so away from the spot
where they were lying, and were sun
ming themselves. When they observed
ne they made an attempt to regain
their nest. | killed two of them, how
ever, before they could enter l had
read somewhere that if n snakes young
were taken and their bodies dragged
along the ground the mother snake
would follow the trail and, if she found
them alive, would conduct them back to
the nest. | took the two which | had
killed, and after dragging them along
the turf. deposited them on the pave
ment some 50 feet from the den. then
resumed my seat on the porch and
awaited developments. In short while
the mother snake emerged from the
nest, and. after crawling about for a
second or two, struck the trail and at
once followed it to the pavement and
her dead young. Fortunately | had a
witness i'll the person of my iceman,
who was delivering the ice at the time.
and who was dumfounded at behoiding
such high intelligence in a creature SO
low in the scale of animal life. l killed
the old snake for these snakes-garien
moccasins-become harmful after the
third year, eating young birds, etc.,
and ten of her progeny, leaving two
pairs to carry on and perpetuate the
race.-Home Magazine.

speak-and kept out of reach.
Then the other boys held Fred by the
waist while he reached again; but still
l shook my head. They began to think
that | must be dazed or stunned.
Then they all started up the island,
crossed the log, and ran down the
shore to the point nearest me. Here
the space between us was much
wider, but the depth and strength
of the current were much less
on this side, though still formidable.
This time the foremost boy was little
Jimmie Styles, who stood on the very
edge of the beach, extending toward
me a long pole which he had caught
up. | did not change my position; l
wanted tirmer anchor than poor little
Jimmie before | relaxed my hard-won
foot-hold.
At last the boys understood. They
joined hands and formed a line up the
steep slope, and the last man put one
arm about the trunk of a small tree.
Again Jimmie held out his life-pole; |
Rrasped it with both hands; the boys
pulled and I pulled, and in moment l
was safe on the beach.
And oh. how good it seemed! The
boys crowded around me, and it was
so delightful to be with them once
more. And the ground felt so firm. and
the sun was so warm, and the air 50
sweet. Drenched and bruised and eX-
hausted though I was, my finger tips
torn and bleeding, cut as with rasp
almost to the bone in my desperate
grapple along the bottom, l don't re-
member that l was ever happier in my
life. Anyhow. never before or since
have I felt the mere Joy of living as I
did that day

The Brnin of the Criminal.

An Italian brigand having died after
a most notorious and remarkable
career, even for a man in his profession.
his brain was given to a scientist for eX-
animation in order TO discover, if pos.
sible, whether there was any difference
between it and the honest, or normal
brain. After exhaustive experiments,
the professor in charge was forced to
admit that he could find nothing alb.
normal about the brain structure. Ac-
cording to all known laws on the sub
Ject, the man was possessed of great
ability, and, the professor says, might
have been a great man. As the brigand
was murderer, a thief and a bad LOT
generally, it would seem that the fact
of there being no abnormal conditions
in the brain might have bearing on the
much-discusaed subject of brain struc-
ture. Some time since suggestion
was made that intelligent people and
those of eminence in their professions
should will their brains to a society for
scientific investigation, in order to de.
termine, by comparison, what were the
causes of criminal tendencies, and what
brain conditions these tendencies
brought about.-N. Y. Ledger.
