Study Of Aeronautlcs)
managers at the residence of the presi.
dent, where they had talked over the
geographic work to be done and the
participation which the society should
take in it.
A beautiful home for the society is
now approaching completion in WASH
ington. 1t was built by Mrs. Hubbard,
Prof. Bell and his family, and is .
memorial to Mr.. Hubbard, whose de-
voted labors in behalf of the society
started it on its prosperous career.
While Prof. Bell is much interested
in geographic progress, this branch
of study has not been included in his
special scientific researches, and it is
his desire that a geographic specialist
be placed at the head of the society.
He intends to devote much of his time
to the study of aerial navigation and
will continue his experiments with the
kite-fying machine he has invented at
his summer home in New England dur
ing the coming months.

U. S. CENSUS OFFICE.
It Is Now in Charge O.. Mr.. North,
the New Director.
Uerriam's Successor HISS Long Beer
Regarded ~ IN Expert in Stats.
tics-Was Highly Esteemed
By President Mckinley.

The president on June notified Mr..
William r. Merriam of his acceptance
of Mr.. Merriam's resignation as d.
rector of the census, to take effect on
that day. Mr.. S. N. D. North, former
chief of the division of manufactures
of the census bureau, was rendered the
position number of weeks ago, and
accepted. 1t was expected at first
that Mr.. Merriam would retire from
Office May IS, but Mr.. North requested
him to remain little longer, as he
could not arrange his private affairs
SO as to take charge of the office be-
fore June 8. Accordingly, that day was
fixed as the date for the transfer OF au-
thority.
Mr.. Merriam has been elected vice
president of the International mer-
camille agency, and expects to devote
himself to business entirely in the fu-
ture. He will probably make his head
quarters in New York.
Mr.. Merriam has been the director
of the census since the organization OF
the bureau in 1899, and his record inthe
Office attracted universal attention
on account of the manner in which he
prepared for and took the census and
published the results. An act of con-
gress gave him very short time in
which to complete the work, and in
spite of all sorts of obstacles thrown
in his way, including strikes among
the printers, he was able to push the
work through and lay the completed
work before congress before the ex-
piration of the time limit. This is con-
sidered remarkable performance,
and drew special attention to the bu-
reau.

born at Clinton, N. Y, November 20,

xexro.s Skin Turning White.

Physicians are interested in the case
If Rufus Hurburt, negro, and a re-
tired tobacconist of 165 West Twenty
third street, New York, whose skin has
undergone such a transformation in
the last two years that It is now very
much like that of normal white per
sons. 1t is pale, like that of one who
has not been in the open air for long
time. The natural hue of Hurburt's
skin was OF black, but brown. A little
more than two years ago he noticed
white spots on his hands. There was
no chipping or sign of irritation. The
spots grew larger and larger and then
other spots began to appear on his
body, and they enlarged in the same
manner until now his whole body and
fsce is of a light color. Hurburt was
born in Saco, Me. His father was from
the city of Trinidad.

Prot. Alexander Graham Bell has re-
signed the presidency OF the National
Geographic Society of Washington to
take effect upon the election of his
successor next fall. He has been presi-
dent of the society since the death OF
his father-in-law, Gardiner G. Hub

the society.
Prof. Bell has been greatly interested
in the progress of the society, which
now numbers many members in every

/. After his victory over Charles u
Oliver Cromwell wrote exultantly to
parliament telling how the
enemy was beaten from hedge to hedge
till he was finally driven into Worces-

among the spoils of that fight. The
royal carriage in which the king had
been carried was there, too, and in
that handsome carriage was = royal

WATCH OF CHARLES l.
(Now in Possession of British Consul at
Philadelphia
ing still in the possession of a loyal
subject of the king of England, Ed
ward VII, who is living in the Quaker
city. This timepiece of royalty, which
still ticks after a career of 262 years,
was made in 1910 for King Charles by
the royal matchmaker of that time.
King Charles I. was .beheaded two
years before his son Charles II. was de-
feated on and escaped from the field
of Worcester.
1t is of the oldest Matchmaking pat
tern, being made entirely by hand, and
costing in it's day good round sum OF
money. The case is of solid silver
ornamented in beautiful pierced fill
gree work, and there is an outer case
of copper with a handsome leather
cover, silver studded. The royal watch
runs SO hours with one winding. Only
one hand is used in designating the
time.
There is a silver bell enclosed within
the silver case, on which the hours are
struck. There is also an alarm attach
ment. The watch is Az inches in dia-
meter, and ~ inches thick.
Cromwell kept it as personal pos
session for years. But after the re-
storation it fell into the hands of
Joseph Kipuing, Esq, Of Overstone
house, North Hants, England, an an
cestor of Rudyard Kipling. Joseph
Kipling was also an ancestor of Will
fred Powell, British consul at the port
of Philadelphia, the present owner OF

1s4e. His father was professor of
Greek at Hamilton college for many
years, and under his direction the son
received his early education. He was
entered as a student at Hamilton col
lege at an early age, and on being
graduated entered the newspaper bust
ness as part owner of the Utica Herald
in 1873. He held almost every position
on that paper from reporter to manag-
ing editor, and remained with it until
1886. Mr.. North secured an interest
in the Albany Express in the latter
part of 1856, and became its manag-
ing editor.
Mr.. North was the Washington cor
respondent of both his papers during
part of the time he was connected with
them. He made the acquaintance of
many public men through his service
in this city and became known through
out the country as one of the best au-
thor;ties in the United States on the
tariff and the tariff schedules. He re-
manned with the Albany Express for
three years, when, 1889, he was
elected secretary of the Wool Manu-
facturers' association, of Boston,
Mass, which position he has held ever
since.
In 1880 Mr.. North was selected to
prepare the newspaper statistics for
the tenth census, and in 1885 completed
the preparations for the taking of the
~ 4,4> IT, I, -
selected to make a special report on
wool manufactures for the eleventh
census, and in 1894 was secretary of
the republican branch of the senate
committee on finance. While engaged
in his duties at the capitol as CORE
spondent Mr. North attracted the at
tention of the late President McKin-
ley, who was then on the committee
of ways and means of the house of rep
resentatives. Mr.. Mckinley had
charge of the preparation of the tariff
bill passed during his last term in con-
eress, and which was known as the
Mckinley bill, and Mr.. North was
charged with the making of the tariff
schedules. Later he performed the
same service for Representative Ding
lev. This work secured for him a po-
sition on the industrial commission, to
which he was appointed by President
Mckinley in 1898. A year later, at the
earnest solicitation of the president,
Mr.. North resigned from the industrial
commission to become chief statisti-
clan in charge of the division of manu-
features of the twelfth census. The
work of Mr.. North in this division has
attracted attention throughout the
world, and his thorough knowledge of
the statistics, not only of his special
division, but of all the divisions of the
census. made him valuable aid to Di-
rector Merriam.
In February Mr.. North found that
h. could not continue as secretary of
the National Wool Manufacturers as
sociation if he desired to keep up the
work of Mr.. Merriam, and left the Of
fee February %.

in order to make the game amusing it
was agreed that he be given little
