AQUARIUM FOR PROF. LOEB.
University OF Chicago Determined to
Keep the Scientist ut Almost
Any Cost.

The installation of a completely
equipped aquarium at the University
of Chicago is the possible result of the
tempting offer made by Prof. jacques
Loeb, the head of the department of
physiology in the Midway institution.
by the University of California. The
university authorities are determined
to keep Prof. Loeb at all costs, and
such an aquarium, which he needs in
order to carry on his experimentation
with marine animal life, is talked of as
means Of holding him.
Prof. Loeb is engaged in research
work at the biological station at
Woods Holl, Mass, at present, and his
colleagues at the university are unable
TO say how seriously he is considering
the California offer. Prof. Lewellys
Barker, head of the department Of
anatomy, said. however, that the su.
perb facilities for research work in
biology which the University of Cali
forni had TO Offer would undoubtedly
be most tempting to Prof. Loeb.
The cost OF erecting such an aquari-
um would be from $1,000 to $4,000 and
the cost of maintenance a few thou
sand dollars a year. Such an aquarium
could be used, not only for physiolog-
ical experimentation, but for botanical
and embryological work as well. Its
value to the university and to the city
OF Chicago would be- out Of all pro-
portion to its cost"

HOW SUNDAY WON THE GAME.
Way In Which a Prayer Helped
Him to Catch n Ball.

William M. Sunday, the ex-ball play
err, is doing evangelical work in the
Indiana gas belt and is addressing
large crowds wherever he goes. He
has been preaching at Winona recent
ly, and IN one of his discourses he said
it was in ball game that he got his
first convincing faith in prayer.
ut was the Anal bout with Detroit"
said he, "and the score was close. The
last half of the ninth inning was being
played. Two men were out, and De-
troit, with Charley Bennett at bat,
had one man on second and another at
third. He had two strikes on him and
three balls called, when he fell on
BALI with terrific force. It started for
the clubhouse. Benches had been.
placed in the field for spectators, anl
as l saw the ball sailing through MT
section of the air l realized that it vas
going over the crowd, and called:
Get out of the way The CT bwd
opened, and as I ran and leaped those
benches l said one of the swiftest
prayers l have ever offered. 1t was:
Lord, If you ever helped mortal man,
help me get that ball. -7
81 went over those benches as
though wings were carrying me up.
l threw out my hand while in the air
and the ball struck and stuck. The
game was ours. Though the deduction
is hardly orthodox, l am sure the LORD
helped me catch that ball, and It was
my first great lesson in prayer.
"a. Johnson, brother of Tom John
son, the present mayor of Cleveland, !
ran up to me and handed me $40 bill,
exclaiming: Buy new hat, Bill. That
catch won me $780,"

"LOST CHORDS OF SOLOMON. +"
ton Makes . Very Important
Discovery.

Rev. Max Halpern, cantor of the
Hebrew congregation Of Beth Israel
Of Boston, has just unearthed a num-
Der of the sacred tunes and airs Of
ancient Jewish composition, known
as the Lost Chords of Solomon"
They are contained in some very aged
manuscripts and have remained hid
den because Of the profound learn
ing necessary to recognize and trans
late them. These newly-discovered
hymns, which are unquestionably of
Solomon's own time. exceed in excel
lence any more recent compositions
and furnish evidence of the high at
tainments of the Jews of old. The
key to the songs consists of an ar
rangement of accents about the let
ters of the text, and its discovery Is
a highly important one.

TO HAVE FINEST YACHT.
John Jacob Plans the Speediest and
Most Elegant Floatin Palace
Yet Built.

A steam yacht that will equal any
thing afloat in comfort and elegance,
and surpass all pleasure vessels in
point of speed, is projected by John
Jacob Astor. He has called for plans
and specifications with the intention
of having it ready for commission
next year. 1t is understood that the
vessel will cost in the neighborhood Of
100000. Plans are being drawn at
Lewis NfX0n's shipyard, the ttmen-
sions of the projected craft being 240
feet on the water line, ESQ feet over
all; beam, so feet, and draft 16 feet.
There will be two quadruple expan-
sion engines, with a combined horse
power of 5000, which are calculated to
drive the vessel at 22h knots an hour,
a greater speed than that of any ocean,
going yacht afoat, or of any pleasure
craft, if such vessels as the Vamoose
and Arrow be excepted. Mr.. Astor's
vessel will have twin propellers, two
masts, and two tunnels, and for or
binary cruising purposes will have a
coal capacity Of a25 tons.
In point Of size the new yacht will
exceed that Of anything owned on
this side of the Atlantic, with the ex-
ception Of Oliver H. Payne's Aphro-
dite, which Is 302 feet over all; J.
Pierpont Morgan's Corsair, 3O4 feet
over all; James Gordon Benefits
Lysistrata, a14 feet over all; and sew
eral others. All these, while exceeding
Mr.. Astor's vessel in point of size are
not to be compared in point Of speed.

TO TRY STEEL ROADS.
Interesting Experiment to De Tried
In New York In Interests of
Better Roads.

Experiments shortly will be made at
New York with steel roads. A COM
mittee of the Automobile Club of Amer
lea, appointed some time ago, has been
at work on the scheme, but had about
given up because of the difficulty expe-
rienced in procuring prompt delivery
on the special steel plates required.
Chairman Seligman, of the special
committee, announced, however, that
President Schwab, of the United States
Steel corporation, has become inter-
ested in the experiment, and not only
will have the plates rolled at once, but
will donate enough to build one mile
of road.
Conferences are now under way with
the city authorities with view to Sc
lecting suitable locations for the tests.
1t is proposed that one section shall
be placed in the heavy trucking dis
trict down town, another in a street
of general travel, and third in the
suburbs, ON an earth foundation.

STEAL OLD ENGLISH RELIC,
River Pirates Succeed in Carrying
or Historic Bell Which Was In
tended for King Edward.

- There was excitement-the other
morning on board the ship Attractor,
moored at the Morris street dock,
Jersey City, when the crew discov-
cred that during the night river
pirates had boarded the vessel and
carried away the most precious thing
on board-part of an old ships bell,
bearing the inscription, prince of
Wales, 174O," and consigned to King
Edward of England.
The bell, or rather the pieces of it,
were intrusted to the care of Capt.
Scott, of the Attractor, by the Brit
ish officials OF Kingston, Jamaica,
the captain promising to forward it
to the king upon his arrival in port
at Jersey City. The relic, together
with coins valued at more than &c.
600, had been recovered from the sea
by native fishermen at a point near
Kingston and turned over to the
British officials, who upon discover
ing the inscription, decided to send It
to King Edward as a coronation gift.

Nominee.

Warrensburg, Mo-, September 20
David A. DeArmond, Congressman
from the Sixth District, stated here
to. day that the next Democratic
nominee ioI President would in all
probability be man who makes a
good race for Governor.
He referred to fomer Governor
Pattison, Pennsylvania, who is
making the race for Governor again,
as a strong possibility. Pattison is
the only Democratic Governor Penn
sylvania ever had, and should he
win a third time, he would make a
formidable presidential candidate,
according to Mr.. DeArmond.

RELIC HUNTERS SHUT OUT.
Contractors Making Alterations
Were HIndered by People Eager
to Secure Souvenirs.

At the request of the contractors
who are remodelng the white house
the grounds of the mansion have been
closed to the public by Col. T. A. Bing-
ham, the officer in charge. This action
has caused much complaint, particu-
larry among visitors to Washington.
some of whom expressed themselves
as bitterly disappointed when they
were refused admittanee. The order
was directed principally against the
relic hunters, who have worked indus
triously over the piles of debris taken
from the building.
A woman dressed in black was the
most noticeable as well as the most
active of these. She confined her efforts
entirely to heaps of plastering and was
assisted by negro boy, who filed sew
eral barrels with odds and ends and
took them away in wagon. It devel-
oped that this woman was the agent
of another woman who has a national
reputation as an agitator before con-
gress of measures intended to help
those of her sex who are obliged to
work for living. She intended to
have' a. picture of the white house
printed on each bit of plaster and to
dispose of them to souvenir buyers.
Most of the relic hunters have devoted
themselves to gathering handmade
nails used in the construction of the
original white house. That all the
woodwork was not destroyed when it
was set afire by the British on August
"a, 1914, has been shown by the charred
timbers, mostly joists and rafters, the
workmen have removed,

WORCESTERSHIRE
Natural Park to Be Established at
Head of Mississippi. +
Large Part of the Lands Of the g fded
Chippewa ReEerxatfons- to- he
Controlled by the DEPART
ment of Agriculture.

A natural park at the headwaters
of the Mississippi, a project upon
which Col Cooper and other Chica-
goans have been working for years,
is at last u certainty. Under the bill
which passed congress ut the last
session, and which the president has
signed, large part of the lands OF
the ceded Chippewa reservation Will
be made a forest reserve under the
control of the secretary of agrionl-
ture. The act permits the sale OF
a percentage of the pine timber upon
sealed bids, but guards against the
lands being denuded, and guarantees
the beginning of what Col. Cooper
and others hope will become a great
national reservation that will con-
serve the water supply of the great
Mississippi.
The principal and novel feattke of
the new law is that for the first me
in the history of the general COVE IN
ment its forests are to be cut, trea
ed and regrown in accordance witty
the rules and practice of modern FORK
estry. For this purpose 231, 400 acres.
or 800 square miles, are set apart and
called forestry lands" They are
to be selected by and kept under the
control, care and management of the
forester of the department of agri-
culture, who shall have power at all
times to protect and patrol said lands
and forests and to enforce all rules
and regulations made by him. The
country is fortunate in having in the
Office of forester Clifford Pinchot, one
of the most devoted and best
equipped foresters in the world. He
is a comparatively young man, and
of great private fortune, which he
employs in the service of our forests.
Upon these forestry lands only 95
per cent. of the merchantable pine
trees are to be cut, and the slashings
are to be burned so as to protect
the remaining trees from forest fires.
In addition TO these forest lands the ,
government retains all the primevar
timber and lands on the islands n
Cass and Leech lakes and sev9fal
beauty places on Leech lake, a8gre-
eating about $1,000 acres, from Which
no timber whatever is to be cut. The
law further provides that the tracts
not embraced in the forestry lands
or in the 1900 acres in the islands
and other points on which no tim
Der is to be cut shall be open to
homestead settlement. --
The proceeds of the sale of the
merchantable pine and the lands sold
to homesteaders are to be paid into
the United States treasury, to the
credit of the 1900 Chippewa Indians
of Minnesota. Each Indian, man,
woman or child, living on the four
reservations is entitled to have an
individual allotment of so acres. OF
the s30,162 acres the following will
be the result when the new law Is
carried cut:

ANTI-TYPHOID INCUBATION.
A Marked Advantage Noted From the
Course of Treatment.

A Marked Advantage Noted From the
Course of Treatment.
In 1.-THE Lancet is published an ar
ticle by Professor A. E. Wright, of the
Army Medical school. Netley. setting
forth in a synoptical table all the data
collected up to the present which bear
on the results obtained by anti-typhoid
incubation, which was inaugurated and
has been carried out by him during the
last five years.
With regard to the results, it is de-
monstrated that all the statistics, if we
except two small series which are
shown to be vitiated by important fall
lacies, show that a marked advantage
was achieved by incubation, both from
the point of view of the lessened Incl
dence of typhoid fever among the mo
culated and from the point of view of
| the lessened cases Of mortality among
the inoculated who subsequently con-
tracted the disease. This diminution of
mortality among those attacked is
shown by observations in many differ
ent hospitals Covering, along with
many thousands of cases of uninocula-
ted, several hundreds of cases of ino-
culated) to amount to a diminution by
half in the mortality of typhoid fever.
The lesser incidence Of the disease is
shown to amount to twofold reduc-
ton of the number of cases inoculated.
As the result Of the diminished NOR
tally, superadded to the diminution OF
incidence, il is shown that the reduc-
ton of mortality of typhoid has on the
whole body of statistics amounted to q
fourfold reduction. These are impor-'
tant results, evidenced as they are by
twenty-four separate statistics collect
ed by observers all over the world, and
critically sifted as they have been in
the manner just indicated. But more
important than the actual results is the
prospect that in future it will be posi-
BILE to improve upon these results as
soon as the problems connected with
the dosage Of the vaccine shall have
been worked out. and as soon as the
only blot upon the inoculations-i. e.,
the apparently more susceptible condi-
ton in which the patients are left i'm
mediately after inoculation-shall have
been removed by the elaboration of a
fully adequate method of standardized
