A CONvICT'S TAME ROBIN.

A convict in Sing Sing prison, who
was in the bird business in New York
and has made the tanning of birds d
study, has, while temporarily engaged
at work outside the north prison wall,
caught and tanned young robin, which
comes to him when he whistles to II
and fearlessly perches itself upon his
finger. Sometimes it goes with him to
his cell at night and perches on the
bookshelf. 1t is entirely at home in
the prison. 1t goes out with him in the
morning and stays near him while he
is at work.

cet-snaped pieces, mand1DleS and
maxillae, which prepare the way for
the insertion OF the proboscis. l>le
maxilae are more delicate and pro-
vided at the ends with a number of
spine-like barbs, probably to enable
the mosquito to hold on after it has
once started on its quest for blood.
Beneath all is sheath which in
clses the other parts except along it's
upper border when open. This is the
lower lip and is somewhat dilated at
its end into pair of jointed valves.
These probably have to do with the
sucking of blood.
When the proboscis is in action II
is all forced into the skin except the
sheath, which is bent into sort OF
loop, which becomes narrower as the
piercing organ penetrates more deep
ly. At either side OF the base of the
proboscis is pair of jointed ap-
pendages. maxillary palpi. The poison
is secreted either in two glands, which
are situated at each side of the
thorax, or in a single gland at the
base of the proboscis.
The sides and front of the head Of
the mosquito are occupied by facetted
eyes. This probably accounts for the
ease with which mosquitoes escape
from impending smashing under an
uplifted hand. They are able to see
all around them and so are able to get
| out OF danger In some species the
eyes touch each other in front, so
completely do they cover the head.
| A recent work on gnats, or mos
quitoes, by Major George NJ. Giles, an
English investigator, names over 24O
distinct species OF these the culex
varieties comprise about three
fourths. These are distinguished from
the anopheles or malaria bearing mos
| quitoes. With the exception of the
polar regions it is said that no at
all extensive land surface on the globe
is free from mosquitoes. In North
America there are no less than Al
culex species.
AS a rule the culex is soberly
colored, although under the lens he
shows elaborate and beautiful mark
ing. Most of them have no definite
| spots on the wings, as distinguished
| from the mottled-winged anopheles.
| Such distinctions OF the culex varie-
ties are noted as varying colors OF
thorax and abdomen and knees spot
ted. The males are distinguished by
having plumed antennae, while the
| females have their antennae nearly
bare, or with tufts of hair at the base.
Probably the most common culex
is thus described: Wings unspotetd
but with brindle scales, tarsal joints
banded white at both end, thorax
brownish black, with two subdorsal
silvery vitae on the anterior half
and arcuate silvery lines throughout
Abdomen violaceous with white basal
bands to the segments.
The culex solicitans is the signifi-
cant name of another United States
mosquito which is thus described:
Black with fawn-colored fomentum,
proboscis long, slender, curved, tes-
| taceous, black toward the tip. Auten-
nae black testaceous at the base;
thorax fawn-colored, with two black
stripes; pleurae and pectus whitish;
abdomen with two lateral black quad
! rate spots on each segment, the two
APPEAL segments with narrower spots;
legs slender; tart black with white
band; wings grayish; veins testace-
Gus with brown knobs; length of body

dicated that the situation is very critical.
The steps that have been taken to rein
force Admiral Kempff We're gone over,
and it was decided to stand by the policy
which has been entered upon of push
ing measures for the protection Of the
lives and property of American citizens
and of acting independently as far as
possible. 1t may be that in the accom-
plishment of this result the forces of the
powers will have to act in unision for
the protection Of all foreign residents in
the districts disturbed but this is to be
the extent of the American activity. 1t
is to be confined solely to the protection
and safeguarding of our own interests
and those of our citizens. The Chinese
Government will be looked to under the
general laws of the comfy of nations to
restore order and to make such repara-
tion as is proper. From all political
schemes in which any of the powers may
become involved the United States is to
hold aloof. This is the general policy
heretofore outlined and it will be adher-
ed to.
The Navy Department has cabled di-
rectly 10 Rear Admiral Kempff at Taku,
to inform him that marine reinforce
ments have been ordered to him from
Manila. Thus the Admiral will be in a
position to act with greater freedom in
sending relief expeditions to Pekn and
elsewhere, knowing that he will soon be
able to replace the marines diverted from
Taku.

THE QUESTION OF REPRESENTATION.
Will Probably be Considered by the Republi-
can National Committee Today.
(By te Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, June 12-The old ques-
tion of representations in Republican Nd
tional Conventions which agitated the
National Committee at its meeting in
Washington last December is more than
likely to come to the front at the Ma
tional Committee meeting tomorrow.
The>-Ie.salsstioa- ef Henry G. Payne, pre-
sented at last winters meeting, and
which was withdrawn before it was put
TO vote. will again be pressed, but not
by its author. The strongest support
ers of the Payne measure come from
New England. This resolution provides
for four delegates at large for each State
and an additional delegate for every
10000 Republican votes or majority
fraction thereof based on the returns of
the last presidential election.
The Rhode Island delegation has pre-
pared a substitute for the Payne Resolu :
tiCn, and will present it in the place of
the Payne resolution if they find that the
sentiment in favor of the latter is not
strong enough to put it through the COM
mittee.
The substitute is as follows;
Whereas, the present basis Of repre-
sentaton in Republican National Con-
ventions is based upon the representa-
tion of the several States and Territories
in the Congress of the United States
which under existing political conditions
is manifestly unjust and inequitable
and
Whereas, the representation in Con
gress now, according to the several
States OF the Union upon article XIV,
section 2, Of the Constitution ought TO be
modified, so that in every State wherein
the right to vote is denied any Of the
male inhabitants thereof, being 81 years
of age and citizens of the United States
or wherein said right is in any way
abridged, except for participation in re-
bellion or other crimes representation
in Congress and in the electoral college
and in the convention of the Republican
party shall be reduced in the proportion
which the number of male citizens So de-
prived of the right of suffrage shall
bear to the whole number of male c;ti-
zens, q years of age, in said State;
therefore,
Resolved, That the Republican Ma
tional Committee recommend that if the
Republican party is continued in control
of Congress, it invoke and exercise the
power of Congress granted by article
XIV, section s. to enforce by appropriat
legislation the objects of this resolution
and be it, further
Resolved, That the holding of q ma
tsonal Republican convention in 1904, com
posed of delegates representing the Re-
publican voting strength and sentiment
of the country elected upon a just and
equitable basis of representation is not
only of paramount Importance to the
party, but to the nation as we'll.
The meeting of the National Commit
tee tomorrow will be devoted largely to
the hearing of contests from the vari-
Gus States 1t is not believed that the
committee will finish this part of its
work in one day.

CONSUL MARTIN ASKS FOR CRUISER.
Large Number of Boxers Halt Near Chin
Kiang.
(By The Associated Press.) }

State:
Large number of natives organized
secret society, halted here. People very
apprehensive. No protection. Want
cruiser.
(Signed) MARTIN"
Mr.. Martin is the United States Con-
sui at Chin Kiang, and his telegram is
the first news received here to indicate
the spread of the Boxer agitation in
that section of China. Chin Kiang is one
Of the most important treaty ports OF
China. 1t is located on the Yang Use
Kiang, a little over 100 miles above the
point where the Wo Sung enters, and is
about 125 miles from Shanghai. At the
latter port the United States gunboats
Yorktown and Castine are now lying
undergoing some repairs There is an
intimation at the State Department that
the consul at Chin Kiang has exaggerated
the danger of the situation, and that the
mere halting near the town of a num-
ber of Boxers is not evidence that they
have any hostile intentions against the
American Consulate. No vessel has yet
been ordered to that point
