The widespread impression that
people living in primitive condition
possess more acute vision than civil
zed men enjoy receives support from
the investigation of DR.. Rivers during
4 recent expedition to Torres Straits
and New Guinea. The natives of
Torres Straits could see better in the
dark than Europeans can. Their
sense of touch was also superior, and
in the discrimination of weight they
were more accurate than a practiced
European.

WILL DE PROTECTED.
Protest to Venezuela Against Treat
ment of United states Consul.


ment of United states Consul.
Washington, March 19,-The state
department, through Minister Loomis,
recently lodged a most vigorous pro-
test to the Venezuelan government
against further interference with Mr..
Baiz, the United States consular agent
at Barcelona, Venezuela. 1t knows
nothing of the last reported infringe
ment of his liberty, but it is presumed
that the affair is connected directly
with the troubles which lead to the
first protest. Ignatio NJ. Baiz is not
citizen of the United States, fact
that may add to the difficulty which
our government will experience in
protecting him, as it is determined to
do. He was born in st. Thomas and is
Danish citizen so far as is known
here, but, having an exequatur issued
by the Venezuelan government recog-
nizing him as United States consular
agent, the state department has de-
cided that he is entitled to the protec-
ton of the United States government.
1t appears that he is engaged in
business and became involved in
trouble with Venezuelan military by
resisting an attempt to collect a
forced loan from him. More than
month ago the state department for
warded it's instruction to Minister
Loomis TO represent to the Venezuelan
government that these annoying in
references with our official must
cease. but so far no results have APP
peared

Thomas A. Edison, Sr., that genius
of electricity, has invented real stor-
age battery. Without going into tech.
nicalities it can be briefly stated that
in storage battery is stored enough
chemical energy to produce an cleo
tric current. You can tap electricity
from a storage battery, so to speak.
And Of course, the current can be
used in any one of innumerable ways,
TO do any of the innumerable things
done by the current produced at a sta
tionary plant.

a British regimental physician has
investigated the effect upon soldiers
of regular marching in disciplined
bodies. The uniformity of the sol
dier's step causes the indefinite rcpe-
tition of n shock of the brain and
bones, and consequently the mode OF
motion is far more deleterious than
an irregular walk. He attributes the
peculiar aches and pains often felt
by the men to the fact that the same
parts of the body receive the series
of shocks As a remedy, he suggests
an India-ruhber heel foo all military
boots.

Not So Alarming.

London, March 19.-There is dis
position here to think too much has
been made of the Anglo-Russian Incl
dent at Tientsin and more hopeful
view of the affair is taken. This is
aided by the statement contained in
DIR. Morrison's dispatch from Picking
Sunday to the London Times, which is
taken to mean that the combined eff
forts of the interested powers are
having the effect of causing ST. Peters
burg to check any tendency to undue
aggressiveness on the part of the Rus
sian representatives in China.
The comments of the afternoon
newspapers here repeat the views of
the majority of the morning papers,
namely, that diplomacy will be able to
smooth the friction.
The officials of the British foreign
office have not yet received official con-
firmation of Russia's alleged back
down in regard to Manchuria, Turke-
stan and Mongolia and inquiries on
the subject are now being made at St.
Petersburg and Picking. The British
foreign office is not relaxing its eff
forts TO secure a more satisfactory
statement of the intentions of Russia,
but the officials deprecate the British
press agitation on the subject. On all
sides il is officially and otherwise said
that Great Britain has not the slight
est contemplation of resorting to hos
tilities against Russia, whatever may
be the outcome of the present negotia-
tons

Balfour QuestIoned.

Replying TO Sir Ellis Ashmead- Bart
lett CONSERVATIVE Mr.. Balfour, the
government leader, said in the house
of commons Monday the government
did not possess any information indi-
eating any decline in British influence
in the Yang-tse provinces. As to the
Russian claim for the waters of
Blonde and Elliott islands. the Brit
ish government had certainly not ac-
eepted this claim. The government
had received no communication on the
subject from Russia. The Russian
admiral had demonstrated against
the presence in the waters of Elliott
island of H. NJ. S. Plover, which was
engaged in pursuing pirates. But
British ships had a perfect right, I'M
der the treaty of 1ien-Tsin, to go
there.
Questions regarding the dispute at
Tientsin were parried by the under
secretary of foreign affairs, Lord
Cranborne, in refusing to answer
them without notice.
William Redmond raised nationalist
cheers by asking why Great Britain
had hoisted the white flag and
backed down after threatening to use
force of arms.
