To the Editor Of the Globe:
am taking the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
In an editorial in the above paper Feb. 1t
says William j. Bryan, colonel of Ne
braska regiment, resigned when ordered
to Cuba, inferring that Col. Bryan was
a coward. Now, the editor of that paper
knows that Col. Bryan did not resign un-
til the war with Spain was over, and the
peace treaty signed and ratified by this
country. The fact is that President Nc
Kinley would not give Col. Bryan any
show until the war was over, for fenr
that he might do something that would
make him more popular with the masses.

step should be taken to snatch away
from boys and young men this subtle
danger.
Mrs. Chester G.. Higbee spoke briefly
Among criminal women she said, 1--WE
can feel only sympathy for those who
are born in poverty. There is no house
keeping for them to 60, for there are no
houses for them to keep. The harden
ing process begins before the children
leave home" Mrs Higbee referred to
the Milwaukee training school for de-
linquent girls, saying that its statistics
prove that the majority of girls sent
there are really reformed and lead USE
full lives.
Mrs. Parker, of the Associated Chari-
ties. spoke of the preventive work that
might be done. 1.-THE poor need the
best" she said, land everything done to
better the condition of children born into
poverty is so much done toward the les
seping OF the criminal class.
Judge R. C. Hine. of the municipal
court, gave an interesting talk, repiete
with practical suggestions. IT don't be-
lieye," he said. that you women pres
ent here today have the faintest idea OF
the extent of the trouble going on, or the
work that your committee will have TO
do. I am emphatieally not In sympathy

summoning a certain class OF women to
pay fine" Judge IIine stated that ne
had a list prepared OF the women who
had paid fines into the municipal court N
this manner, and it was at the service OF
the committee the~league was going to
appoint He stated that s6,6S1 had been
received by the city from those fines.
Following the addresses there was
brief discussion.
The league has accepted an Invitation
from the agricultural school to visit that
institution Thursday. March s. Members
desiring to go will take the $40 car at
Sixth and Robert streets and get off at

and adverse circumstances. Thus a wedding
out process would be going all the time
But while it is comparatively easy to under
stand how. by heredity and natural selection,
a species should be perpetuated after it once
has its origin. it is a difficult matter to
tell how the species gets it's start. To be sure.
no two children Of the same parents, no two
roses on the same bush, no two apples on the
same tree are exactly alike. There is always a
certain amount Of departure from the type. and
occasionally this departure is very marked
What is more. sometimes Individual will
not derive his pecuarities from his parents,
but acquire them in some other way during his
lifetime. But wide distinction is made be-
tween inherited and acquired variations and
Weissmann and others have held that the latter
cannot be passed along to progeny. They say
that offspring will show only the traits of
the grandparents and not the new peculiarities
of one or both parents.
Now without knowing anything about the
hot discussion of the scientists over this ques-
tion A. S. Shiddell. of Lexington, KY, under
breeding white mice. According to his own
statement he cut off the tails of both parents
and before the progeny allowed to breed
he subjected them to the same treatment.
His aim was to see If he could pro-
duce a of tailless mice. Well. he
declares that after the sixth or seventh
generation some Of the young were born with
out tails. Finally. he says, he obtained a per
feet breed OF tailless mice"-by which express
sion 1t is presumable that he means that none
of the offspring had tails. Unfortunately he
does not appear to have been content to rest
here. He wanted to see if he could reverse
the experiment. He therefore began crossing
his tailless mice with those possessing normal
caudaI appendages. and after a time, he as
serts, all of his mice had tails again. During
the latter series OF experiments he mated q
New-York tribune., 1900-07-22

tailed male with a tailless female, and the next
time mated a tailless male with a tailed female.
Dr. Woodruff had understood that some one
else was responsible for this narrative and set
out to investigate it. Colonel Bruce OF Turf
Field and Farm" and others assisted in the in
quiry. At length a long letter obtained
from Mr.. Shiddell supplying details. Inasmuch
as DR.. Woodruff refeS5 to him in the past tense
it is probable that he is no longer living. DR..
Woodruff is very sceptical about the truth of
the story. He calls it a fake" And one reason
for holding that opinion is that WeisSmann and
others have tried to do just what Mr.. Shiddell
pretends to have done but without securing the
same results. From the Kentuckian's neigh
bors testimonials to his respectability have been
obtained, but he is said to have been full of odd
concets 1t is possible that he deceived him
self.
But this much is obvious. If Mr.. Shddell
could raise of tailless mice any else
can. Were dozen other men to undertake the
experiment and of them to succeed,
though he raised twenty generations. the Ken
lucky story would be spoiled for scientific pur-
poses. But if even one out of the dozen eventu-
ally succeeded the matter would assume inn
mense Importance from a philosophical point
of view.

EMPEROR WILLIAM AND HIS RELATIVES
HIS DICTATORIAL ATTITUDE TOWARD ALL THE
MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY


Emperor William rules his family-that is t(
say not only his children. but likewise all the
other members of the reigning house of Prussia
with a rod of iron, and not even his mother the
formerly so imperiOus Empress Frederick can
leave the country without previously asking his
leave and obtaining his permission. In the cor.
respondence which took place between the En-,
peror and the late Prince Bismarck the SUBJ
Ject of the projected marriage of Princess Vic
tOria of Prussia to the late Prince Alexander Of
Battenberg-a correspondence which through
some indiscretiOn found its way into prnt-the
Kaiser inquiries of Bismarck whether he had
not better command (befehen) his brother,
Prince Henry, to make some cOmmunica ton or
other % Alexander Battenberg. He does not
speak of asking his brother, but of com
manding" him. During the Empress Frederck'S
stay in Paris few years ago he suddenly took
it into his head to order her to leave the French
capital within twenty-fOur hours-an order
which she was compelled to obey, although il
involved the cancelling of all sorts of important
engagements
In spite of this the Emperor is much liked
and loved by his relatives, and on the
whole the royal family of Prussia may be looked
upon a united house esp cally the children
of the widowed Empress Frederick and their
respective husbands and wives, whose portraits
are shown in the picture here published.

When one makes a comprehensive study or

insect, if it had coloring like the leaf or twig

SWALLOWS IN 4 BEDROON.
Letter to The Spectator.

Last year. at my country place-Wilcote in
OXfOrdshire-a pair Of swallows made their nest
against the curtain pole in my hOusemaid's bed
room. 1t is a room always occupied by her and
in and out of which the other hOuSemaids con-

young ones, and they used to sit in on
to the housemaids bed and work table, twit-
