How : Frog Hibernates.

According to Simon Henry Sage. the
frog does not hibernate in leaves or the
trunks of trees, but in a dry hole in the
ground not likely to freeze. He scratches
the hole with his hind feet and enters
backward. Once inside. there is appar-
emily no trace of the fact outside. Frogs
found under frozen leaves are still able
to move about Mr.. Sage has found
alternating frogs with their extremities
and skin frozen. but their vital organs
were still intact, and they recovered

FREE LUNCHES.
Provided i'm England for Employees of
Several Big Establishments.
From Pearsons Weekly


For some years past several of the large
manufacturing firms of this country have
found it profitable in various ways to set
apart a by TO means unimportant portion
of their space for the purpose of a mess
room or dining hail for their employees.
Where the employees include members OF
both sexes. separate rooms are provided
The question now arises: Would it not be
still more profitable to the principals of
large firms generally to provide free lunch
Is for those employed by them? One firm
in London. employing about seventy hands
in its factory. has already decided to give
a free tea, the determination being based
on business ideas rather than on philan-
thropic principles.
The tea vii! cost Us so much" reason
the principals. but our workpeople will re-
main on the premises and there will be less
time lost IN leaving off and recommending
work In winter they can stay in the warm
shops. and in summer they can walk about
our own piece of land. The morale will be
better in any case. and at the very least
We shall reap more benefit than We could
purchase at the cost of the free tea. And
our employees will get a flr better tea than
they could afford to buy outside
From a purely business point of view the
question Of free lunches is well worth the
consideration of large employers. The plan
has been adopted by several big companies
in the United States. - far as their large

enters to very small degree into the
trans Ction.
y dining room is set apart for the clerks
who 20 20 lunch in parties at stated times.
The food is prepared on the premises by an
experienced cook, and, on reaching the
dining room. Is carved by a carver and
handed to the clerks by walters Both the
food and attendance are much superior TO
what the men could expect from such res
taurdnts as their means would allow them

III" lunch erc time
The time allowed for this midday meal is
reduced to haf an hour. but as there is no
waiting or journCying To a restaurant. the
men do not in the least complain. In fact.
although in one firm the employees may go
out to lunch if they choose. it is very sell
dom that any one takes advantage qf the
option
DESPITE the cost, the employers are well
satisfied with the result. The saving Of
half an hour per day on each mans time
goes q long way toward reCouDing them
for the outlay Then. as in the case of the
London firm previously mentioned, there is
not so much time wasted in recommending
work.
Finally. the man are not subject to the
temptation to spend their time in the pub

having had good lunch. go 20 work with
that Contented frame Of mind which a good

DEADLOCK IN CALIFORNIA.
Little Prospect Now of the Election
of Senator.

A dispatch from Sacramento, Cal, last
night says: The senate has adopted the as
sembly concurrent resolution calling for ad-
journment at midnight March Is This
leaves but two days more for balloting for
United States senator. The result of to-
days baloting, however, showed the dead
lock no nearer broken than it was six
weeks ago Three ballots We're taken to-
day, the last being the elghty-third OF the
session, every member of the legislature
voting. The ballot showed the exact
strength of the several candidates. 1t was
as follows:
Barnes, %; Estee, /; Burns, 21;, Grant, -;
Scott, g; Rosenfeldt tdemocraD, =; White
(democraD, II; Phelan (damocraD, 3; De
NrieS tdemOcraD, >.
The two ballots which followed showed
change in the republican vote. The
democratic vote, however, was very much
scattered.
Both branches of the Legislature have
passed the measure requiring all news
paper articles which are libelous upon their
face to be signed.

MRS. PLACE BREAKS DOWN,

mute Death Penalty.

Warden Sage of Sing Sing state prison
yesterday informed Mrs Pace, the muir
deress, of Governor Roovevelt's refusal to
commute her sentence of death.
Warden Sage, when he hal approached
TIE condemned woman's cell. said:
Mrs. Place, I am sorry TO say that |
come to see you again with bad news. The
doctors who examined into your mental
condition have made their report to the
governor and on the strength of that re-
port the governor has declined to interfere
in your case
Mrs. Place bore the shock without sign of
emotion. She remained silent a few min
utes, and then Warden Sage said:
Il have telegraphed for the Rev Dr.
Cole. your spiritual adviser, and he will be
at the prison this afternoon
Mrs. Place Then spoke, saying: II am glad
you have sent for DR.. Cole, as | wanted to
see him." She requested that the warden
send word to her brother, resident of New
Brunswick, n. j., that she desired him to
call on her. The warden sent telegram
to the brother.
After the warden left Mrs. Place she be-
gan to cry Matron Riley had a hari time
trying to console her.

Preparations fer the Meeting of
ArbitratOrs in Paris

Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer
of the Supreme Court will leave the United
States for Paris so to arrive there about
May -, when the oral arguments on the
British-NeneZuela arbitration will be
heard. The hearing is expected to cover
three months. after which the court is eX-
pected to devote about three months to
consideration of the question giving de-
cision probably in November.
Ex-Presdent Harrison and ex-Secretary
of the Navy Tracy probably will go to
Paris at the same time, as they are the
leading counsel for Venezuela. Their brief
has been presented and owing to its gen.
eral interest copies have been distributed
among senators, representatives and pub
Il; men generally in Washington. 1t covers
about 500 printed pages. and Is in rather
marked contrast to the brevity of the Brit
ish brief of Sir Richard Webster covering
on'y fifty-fve pages The conclusion of
the brief is as follows:
"NencZuela. with great respect but with
great confidence, now submits to this high
tribunal the very serious issues involved.
She does this in the happy belief that in
the short bCt brilliant history of arbitra-
ton tribunals this one VIII find conspicU-

tons the Use of this great agency of peace

upon this tribunal; and by this fact it is

tatiOn is wholly absent No other inter-
national tribunal has presented this feat
ure. They have been too much the confer
ences of representatives. rather than the
CT situations Of judges, to whom the par
ties are quite Indifferent. The one tends to
unsatisfactory compromises, the other to
DEGREES that establish rights. In the very
constitution. therefore, of this tribunal we
have the strongest appeal to the sense of
| Ii Tssrtial justice and the surest ground of
hope that the judgment may confirm the
faith Of those who believe that it is posi-
BILE to bring the nations to a bar that will
treat them with the same impartiality that
is shown to individual litigants When
that confidence is fully established, the
era of universal peace will be near
