WHY WOMEN DO NOT MARRY.
Many Averse to Relinquishing Comfort
able Incomes and Situations.

The assertion has been frequently made
and rarely contradicted that the reason
many business and professional women
do not marry is because they are averse
to reIinquishing their comfortable In
comes, as would be necessary In many
instances. No woman who has ever ex-
perienced the pleasure and satisfaction
of disposing of a weekly or monthly sal
sry as she sees fit takes kindly to the
idea of depending upon the generosity OF
a man for money for her personal wants.
And il, as occasionally happens. such
woman marries a man whose income is
not much more, IL as much, as her own
has previously been, the amount ayaila-
BILE for the personal wants OF either oil
them is apt to be somewhat limited. SO
the business woman is occasionally con-
fronted with problem and obliged 10
decide whether she will give up her in
come or an opportunity to marry.
One Brooklyn young woman Of undoubt-
ed ability in her special line OF profes-
sional work was confronted with this
problem about year ago. and she set

rHREE-EYED ANIMALS.
The Tuatara Lizard and the Lamprey
Eel. Both of New Zealand.

There is probably no more interesting
country in the world to a biologist than
New Zealand, and to Prof. Dendy Is due
the credit of having made some very
valuable original researches in regard 10
some of the more characteristic fauna Oh
the country.
Nearly everyone has heard OF the tua-
tara. the curious. iguana-like iookins
creature. now found on only one or two
| islands off the coast OF New Zealand. ana
supposed to be the Oldest living types VI
animal on the face Of the globe. One OF
| the most curious features Is an organ on
| the head, which at one time was spoken
| of as the pineal gland. but which DR..
| Dendy discovered to be in reality a third
eve. His paper on the subject caused the
greatest interest in scientific circles. and
as an illustration of the way in which re-
search is specialized nowadays 1t may be
mentioned that while DR.. Dendy devoted
himself to the study Of the third eye one
distinguished English biologist Is work
ing out" the skeleton, another the kid
peys, and so forth. In a short time,
therefore. our anatomical knowledge oi
the tuatara ought to be complete.
More recently DR.. Dendy has discovered
another New Zealand creature possessing
third eye. This is the New Zealand
Iamprey, a favorite article OF food among
the Maoris The third eye is situated
right on top of the head and Is covered
with a thin coating OF skin. 1t Is doubt
full whether it is now Of any practical u.s.
for seeing, but DR.. Dendy believes tina
at one time. far back In the worlds his
tory. there were two eyes on the back Q
the lamprey's head. He is further of tn
opinion that at one time the tuatara ais
had two eyes where now only one re
J mains. In the tuatara It is the left ey'
, which has survived, while In the lampre

( The English lamprey has only two eyes
: and is to that extent inferior to Its Ne'
E Zealand congener, but it has its compen
t sations, for was 1t not recorded In ou

LUCKY DISCOVERY.
Saving $4,000 a Year That Used to Go
Up in Smoke.

Two years ago, while workmen we're
making repairs to the roof Of building

Smelling and Refining Company, they

boards covered with atoms OF metal. One
of the boards was taken to the assayer,
who burned it, retorted the ashes. ana
Impaired the startling information that
the metal was composed of gold. silver.

THE PEANUT IN LONDON.
Bids Fair to Play Its Part in Metropoli-
tan Theatres.

In London an Ingenious critic. casting
about him for a new subject. not long ago
professed to "view with alarm" the
emigration OF British actors who come
to the United States to exhibit their art
and share in the gate receipts the
critics concern was not lest the English
actor would be so pleased with this
country that he would remain here. but
lest his art become "coarsened by the
Americans liking for cruder dramatic
effects.
This criticism has been taken seriously
by a number OF Americans. and 1t may
be that the critic took 1t seriously him
self. Critics are often very serious peo-
pie. II so. he was straining at a gnat
and-all unconsciously. perhaps-swal-
lowing a camel. For at the very time he
wrote more insidious danger threaten
ed the British stage at the hands OF
Americans.
1t seems that the peanut-identihed
, with our own drama almost from its
humbiest beginuings-has suddenly made
| its appearance In London. It's first In
4 PRODUCTION to the British metropolis was
about Christmas time. IL was received
with open mouths. and has steadily won

and who never. never. never will be
slaves 20 a protected appetite. The
"Pall Mall Gazette" calls II the last

at the outset that its introduction to the
East End had met with marked success.
There seems little question that II will
take its place with the other food pro-
ducts supplied to Great Britain by for
eigners, and 1t may even grow into q
political issue. like the allen supply OF
wheat.
