Birds, Egg. Too Much For Science.

Birds eggs Too Much For Science.
1t is not often that science acknowl.
edges herself ut fault in an apparent
ly simple matter. but she frankly does
so in regard to the color and marking
Of large proportion of birds eggs.
A reason there must be for their in
finite diversity; 1t cannot be an ns-
thetic one and all we can say With
any confidence is that the ever per-
vading instinct of distrust is probably
exhibited In eggshells rs in more i'm
portant things. and the main idea in
their scheme of celebration has been
the securing of safety from many enc
mics by liarmonizing them with their
surroundings, But it is Il scheme full
of perpleXing exceptions. which any
one can study for himself.-Pall Nal

NEGROES STRANGE STORY
TO ACCOUNT FOR WOUND
Permitted Man to Shoot at Him for
Car Ticket.

Robert Crawford, a fourteen-year-old
negro. living at 1923 Trinidad Street
northeast, is in serious condition from
a bullet wound in the knee. He was shot
last Thursday. He says that he was at
the Benning race track, where he saw
one of the foremen with small rife.
The boy. according to his story, wanted
a car ticket to ride home, and offered 10
let the man shoot at him for the ticket
The wounded knee was the result.
Not thinking the matter serious, he
told nothing OF it until yesterday Then
he could not get out of bed Lockjaw is
feared on account of the neglect OF the
wound. The parents told the boys story
TO the police. Precinct Detective John
son. OF the Ninth precinct, came to the
conclusion that he had made the yarn
out OF whole cloth in order to cover
some escapade of his own. To make
matters certain. Captain Boardman this
morning assigned Detectives McNamee
and Flather 10 the case. and they are
now investigating.

One Million a Year
Goes for Free Lunch
Saloons Provide Meager or Elaborate Spreads Ac-
cordlng to Locality and Class of Patrons
Served-Sample Menus.

Free lunch costs saloonkeepers in the
District of Columbia approximately
$1,000, 200 a year.
There are about $50 barrooms in the
city, and of this number about 200 keep
free lunches, which, on an average,
costs them 81 a day In a year this
amounts TO S452 more than the cost of
license. Each saloonkeeper expends,
more or less, s1,252 annually in feeding
the public.
On the north side OF the Avenue the
typical free lunch consists Of crackers,
cheese, onions, bologns, sailed herring
and sausages. A free lunch like this
costs the proprietor about SIS per day.
In the fashionable section OF the city
corned beef, onions. bologna, cold beef,
bread, tomatoes, potato salad, radishes,
cucumbers, beans. and crackers and
cheese form the bill of fare" This
elaborate outlay of food is at the dis
posal of anyone who purchases anything
TO drink. For five cents-the price of a
glass Of beer-one has the privilege of
eating anything set on the table or
counter, enough to appease the most
ravenous appetite. A lunch of this kind
costs about $12 day. The expense of
maintaining the average free lunch in
the northwest section of the city for
day, however, is only about 81.
On the south side of Pennsylvania
Avenue the regular lunch invariably
consists of sausages, bread. crackers
and cheese. At noon, however, plate
Of soup is served to every customer.
The cost Of the soup is about $3.50 extra
per day
In cases where restaurants are at
tached TO barrooms the cost of the free
lunch is not so great, as there are many
ways In which the proprietor can econo-
mize. But the average saloonkeeper must
