100000. The expense OF enforcing the law

auxiliary societies that did such splen-
did work during the war In Cuba and

The proposition is to establish hos
pltal service In Cuba mainly for citizens
of this country who are there. though
others needing aid will not be barred.
The most important part OF the work
WIFI be in the Philippines until the trou-
bles we are having there are over and

To the splendid work Of the Red Cross
was due the fact that many lives were
saved and an enormous amount OF suf-
fer!ng was relieved in the campaigns
during the war with Spain, the national
organization having for Its principal
sources Of supplies the auxiliary socie-
ties organized in hundreds of communi-
ties throughout the country. Wheeling
Joined in this work, and contributed to
the volume Of aid that went from the
homes of the people to the Red Cross
headquarters at the seat OF war.
There is something yet to be done
among the destitute in Cuba, partcu-
larry among women and children. and
attention Is directed to this fact by Miss
Barton. Doubtless her appeal will be
effective among the organizations that
responded to the call during the war.

Wheeling people, addressed to Mr.. Au-

Accompanying the letter are some in

of $50 years.
One OF the longcst-lived birds on rec
ord died recently in London. 1t was q
parrot named Ducky. the property Of
the prince of Wales. and was Il century
and n quarter old. Up to eighty years
of age elephants are useful members OF
society.
Some animals can live many years
without water. A paroquet lived fifty
two years in the London zoo without
tasting Il drop of water. a number OF
reptiles live and prosper in places where
there is no water
That sleeping or waking. snakes never

When chameleon Is biindfolded 1t

Ants have brains larger in proportion

There are several varieties OF fish

The elephant has 10000 muscles In his

In China carrier pigeons are protected
from birds of prey by an ingenious lit

The antipathy OF animals for certain
things Is unexplainable. but the fact
remains, for example. that rattlesnakes
have 4 decided dislike for the leaves
OF the white ash. Experiments have
shown that they would rather run over
live Goals than touch white ash leaves.
