BERMUDA ALIVE
With Rare Forms of Animal Life,
Say the College Professors.

New York, July 13.-New York uni
versity is to have a permanent bioloSi-
cal station in the BermudaS next year.
This has been determined upon as a re-
suit of the first alumri expedition to
those islands, which, under the direc-
ton of Prof. Charles I. Bristol, head of
the department of biology, spent six
weeks investigating the marine life OF
the islands and has just returned laden
with valuable collections.
The collections brought home contain
much new material, mainly specimens
of invertebrate life.
So far as DR.. Bristol or his scientists
have learned, many of the specimens
have never been called to the attention
of scientists Among these are new va
rieties of moI1usks. Three of them are
stone boring bivalVes which bore holes
a foot deep into the coral lime stone, of
which the Bermudas are principally
formed.
'.The richness of the fauna" said
Prof Bristol. will be sufficiently indi-
Gated to the scientist by my saying
that we found 20 forms of tunicateS. SIX
of us worked over 200 yards of the coast
in Castle Harbor at every low tide, ana
SO immense were the forms OF n1e tnal
we got no further.
I'VE brought back splendid corals,
sea anemones. jelly fish, sponges, cruS-
taceans, worms and echinodernls, most
of them rare in the museums of this
country.
Prof. Bristol said that perhaps the
most important immediate result of the
axnedition was to demonstrate that fish
can be TRANSPORTED north of the gulf
stream and acclimated so as to i've IN
northern waters.

BACKING UP BEARDSLEE.
The Oregon to Join the Philadelphia
and the Marion at Honolulu.


Chicago, July 13-A special dispatch
from Washington to the Times-Herald,
says:
The administration has taken steps
to keep it's grip on Hawaii.
Any aggressive interference on the
part of Japan will result in the landing
of marines and the hosting of the
American flag with or without the rat
ifcation of the pending annexation
treaty.
The administration realizing that
some crisis might arise, while the treaty
still hangs fire in the senate, has taken
steps to be prepared for any emergen-
cy.
Rear Admiral Beardslee will have
when the next steamer arrives in Hon
olulu, instructions giving him power to
act at the first sign Of aggression on
the part of Japan or trouble of any
kind with which the local authorities
are not able to cope.
Rear Admiral Beardslee will be given
sufficient force to carry out the pro-
gramme that events may force upon
him. 1t is definitely settled that the
Francisco, will be dispatched to Hawaii
as soon as she can be prepared for the
voyage. This will give Admiral Boards
lee three VeSSels-the Oregon, Philadel-
phia and Marion. Japan has at present
but one vessel in the harboF at Homo
lulu, the cruiser Naniwa- She has an
other cruiser at San Francisco await
ing orders, which may take her to the
Hawaiian Islands.

TWO WOMEN TO ONE MAN
Attended the Endeavor Convention
From Outside California

San Francisco, July 13.-At length it
is possible to state with a close APP
proach to eXactitude how many dele
gates attended the Christian Endeavor
convention. The registration committee
has made a report by states and coun-
ties of the number of people registered.
The total number of people from other
states, territories and foreign countries
in attendance is IL, 224. From Califor-
MIA the registration is 1854, making a
total of % 91S
From these figures it will be seen that
the actual attendance upon the con-
Vention is surprisingly close to the adj
vance estimates that were made. Out

ton was from Illinois, that state send
ing 1853, Iowa being next, Pennsylva-
mia third, followed by Ohio, New York.
Missouri and Massachuset. S in the order

And is This the Fire Department That
is Coming to Topekap

The Concordia Empire poet writes:
AS the Wrinkled old Nokomts
Sat a srnoking in her doorway
Suddenly a match dropped downward
Setting fire to the mating.
Then a crying and a Wallng
And a whooping and yelling
Rent the atmosphere to glbletS-
Then the fre-bell Slamibangum
Clamored forth it's startling warning
And Ed Dennison the big Injun
Drove his dray his Jerkatrunk1eS
Swiftly to the city building
There they to 1t tied the hoSe-cart
Which is hard to pull as thunder
And da shed madly down the alley.
While the squaws and the papooseS
And the loafer digger 1nJuns
Left their homes and dry goods boxes
Went to see the dry wood burning.
Some on bikes and some in buggl eS,
some on foot and some on clutches.
And the fire boys, Popittooem,
Clambered up on top the WtSwam,
Broke the roof in, caved the walls in.
Squirted water on the bed clothes,
Scraped the varnish from the sofa,
Broke the chairs down with their axes
And tracked mud upon the carpet.
Oh the cussing and confusion!
Oh the war whoops and the orders!
Till at last the old NokomtS
Got so hot she cOuldnt stand 1t,
Grabbed her brOOmStick SwiSharounda
Swatted them upon their head gear,
Pasted them upon their cocos,
Crying loud in deep derision,
Elsa, Esan Shame upon you
Hunt your holes we sons of pop guns
Or I'll wipe the back yard with YOU.
Then they fed in CONSERVATION
While pers piring old Nokom1S
Dipped the floor mat in the c1Stern
Swiped the onfiagratiOn endwiSe,
With one swipe the flames subsidized.

COULDN'T STAND SILVER.
Mcpherson Republicans Refuse to
Trade Principles for Office.

The political situation in Mcpherson
county is assuming something like de-
finite shape. The Gold Republicans
first invited the Free Silver Republicans
to come into their primaries offering to
divide the county offices with them The
Free Silver Republicans offered to go
in with them provided their platform
read ''in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
without asking The aid or consent of any
other nation" but this was refused.
A combination has now been arrang-
ed between the Populists, Free Silver
Republicans and the Democrats. The
Populist central committee invited the
Free Silver Republicans and Democrats
to select one each of the principal off es
to be filled this fall, which was accepted.
The Democrats selected the county
clerk and the Free Silver Republicans
the county treasurer. The Populists will
fill the balance of the ticket.
