Bearded Women of France.

Women with boards have been oc-
cupying the attention of couple of
French doctors, who have collected
elaborate statistics on the subject
They have found that in France 300
out of every 1000 sane women have
boards. OF these 230 have only slight
down upon their faces. hardly visible
to the naked eye; forty have boards
which are distinctly visible. and ten
in every 1000 have well-developed

An examination of 1000 insane wom-
en- showed that boards were more COM
mon among them than among their
more fortunate sisters. OF the 1000 ex-
afnined 491 had slight boards and so
'whiskers which would have done credit
to faces of the Sterner sex.

ROOSEVELT
MAY DROP IT.
Probably Jewish Petition Will
Not Go to Russia.
Various Reasons Against 1t
Have Arisen.
TOO MUCH TIME LOST.
Might Interfere With Pending
Diplomatic Negotiations.
Besides, Gar Seems Disposed to
Do the Right Thing.

Oyster Bay, L. L, July 14.-An i'm
portant conference was held at Saga
more Hill today between the president
and representative Jewish citizens of
the Society of the B Mai b Rith regard
ing the petition to the Russian govern
ment on the Kishineff outrages. Be
sides the president the parties to the
conference were Simon S. Wolf of Wash
ington, Oscar S. Strauss and Leo n.
Levi of New York
The administration has been embar-
raised by the delay of the representa-
tives of the BNai B'Rith society in pre-
senting the petition. A draft of the doc
ument was handed to President Roose-
welt several weeks ago by Mr.. Wolf,
but it was decided after some consider
alton to modify the text of the petition
by presenting it formally to this gov
eminent for transmittal to Russia.
Time was desired too, to obtain to the
petition the signatures of representa-
tive citizens of the United States of all
the religious faiths. AS a result the
document was not placed in the hands
of the president until today. The result
of the conference at Sycamore Hill has
not been disclosed yet but a strong in
timation is given that the petition may
not be forwarded to the Russian gov
eminent. The desire of both the presi-
dent and Secretary Hay is that the
Kishinem incident should be closed as
soon as possible as further delay in it's
consideration might prove embarrassing
to this government in it's diplomatic
negotiations with Russia.
Inasmuch as the Russian government
has indicated by the adoption of severe
measures a genuine disposition to pun
ish adequately the perpetrators of the
Kishinef murders, and in addition
those who instigated them. it is prob
lem for the president and Secretary Hay
to solve whether representations con-
corning the incident now are either de-
sirable or necessary.
It is suggested that the whole matter
may be resolved into a brief statement
through diplomatic channels to the
Russian foreign office that such a petit
ton is in the hands of the United
States, thus leaving it to Russia to
say whether it would or would not
receive the document if it were pre-
scented. 1t would close the incident with
out subjecting United States relations
with Russia to a strain and it is regard
ed would be quite effective as the actual
presentation of the petition.

gether with DR.. Albert Shaw, editor of
from England. Maurice Sheldon Amos

Mr. Augustus work of looking after
the aquatic education of the members
of the Y M. c. A. is divided equally be-
tween two classes, the Seniors in one
class and the Juniors and the Intermed-
iates in the other. The Juniors and
Intermediates range in ages from seven
years to sixteen and the Seniors from
sixteen on up Most of the Seniors are
already able to swim and take care OF
themselves but M. Augustus leads
strenuous life when he takes the jun
iors out to the pond He is usually sup
piled with an assistant when he under
takes to teach the striplings the step
offs and bottomless places from that
part of the pond which has been found
to be perfectly safe. The part of the
pond on the safe side of the rope is the
only place whereSthe youngsters are al
lowed to swim. The bottom is smooth
and free from snags and there they
may dive. lay their hair splash water
and duck each other to their heart s
content.

juniors twice The three evenings be-
longing to the seniors are Monday,

return home for something to relieve
the smarting pain of their sunburned
backs.
These swimming lessons that are given
to the members of the Y. NJ. c. A. are
supposed to be a part of the regular
physical training and the boys are re-
quired to regard them as such. The old
routine of dumb bells, horizontal bars,
Indian clubs, etc, does not appeal to
the members of the association when
the thermometer is 80 degrees in the
shade. Consequently, these winter time
customs are now being substituted by
swimming and tennies playing. The
members seem to appreciate the change
in the routine work and it is noticed
that more interest is being shown in the
physical department of the association
than ever before. This is the third
season of the Y. NJ. C. A. swimming
classes, but the attendance at these
classes is just as large if not larger than
it was the first year.
The season at Cowles' pond was OPEN
ed last week when the seniors broke
water for the juniors and intermedi-
ates- About thirty-five persons were
present at that class. About twenty
five went out last night.

TOPEKA's LOTUS POND.
Is One of Seven in the Unite.
States

Is One of Seven in the Unite.s
States
Major and Mrs. T. w. Scudder own
one of the seven lotus ponds in the
United States. 1t is located on their
country place on the West Tenth
street road.
The Egyptian lotus is a rare and ex-
pensive type of water lily, and to eStab-
fish a pond of these requires no small
amount of time and labor. 1t has re-
quired five years for Major Scudders
pond to become what it is. These re-
markable flowers rest upon pads" some
of which are one and one-half feet in
diameter, the flower stalk being ahn.lt
three feet long and the lily resembling
somewhat the magnolia, but it is on
much larger scale. The bulb of the
Egyptian lotus, or lotus of the Nile, as
it is called, is used in that country for
food. In Greek legend we read of the
Lotophagi a people who ate the lotus,
and Homer describes them as being
to refuse to return to their native land
to become listless and Indifferent,
hence, indirectly, we have the term
lotus eater" a dreamy languid, pleas
ure loving person.
The rarity of the plant, and its classic
significance, as well as its great beauty,
have made Mr.. and Mrs. Scudder's pond
of them an object of great pride to the
owners, and at the same time source
of some annoyance from thieves.
Trespas Sers are bold and annoying in
many other ways but bars left down
and cattle allowed to stray, or destruc-
ton of property of any kind is not
counted the great injury that an inroad
upon the lilies means to their owners.

A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
Professor Grimsley's Bulletin on
Cherryvale Gas Wells.

A supplement has been issued by G.
p. Grimsley to the report on Kansas
oil and gas which was published re-
Gently in the State Journal. The report
as originally compiled did not have
much to say about Cherryvale gas
wells, because Prof. Grimsley had not
at the time visited CherryVale for a
year. He has since made special trip
to Cherryvale, and makes the follow
ing report on the condition of the
Cherryvale field
In 1899 bonds were voted by the town
of CherryVale to prospect for coal near
the town, and in 1890 gas was struck
at $50 feet with a volume of about two
million cubic feet daily. The Cherry
vale Gas company was then organized
and drilled in the next few years eight
or ten wells, which were used to supply
the town and small manufacturing
pIantG.
Attention was thus drawn to this
locality and other companies were or
ganized to develop the area At the
present time there are over so gas
wells, ranging in volume from one and
one-half to ten million cubic feet.
These now supply gas to the largest
brick nlant in the state as we'll as 10
a number of smaller brick plants. to
the largest iron foundry in southe St
ern Kansas, to the largest zinc smelter
in the world, to the glass works and
other manufacturing plants

important field, without any reference
to oil In some of these early wells
oil was found in considerable quantity
and was used at the brick works and
for other local uses.
In drilling for gas northwest of the
town last year. oil was found in sew
eral wells, and the Federal Gas and
Oil company was organized, and they
drilled a number of good oil wells. In
June 1902, the Illinois Valley Oil and
Pipe Line company secured leases on
the top OF the mound above the Fed
eral leases and they now have twelve
wells ca this so-called Kansas Spindle
Top" This group of derricks high on
the hill is conspicuous landmark. Vis-
ible for miles. Five other companies
are now developing the oil fields mean
Cherryvale. There are at the present
time about twenty oil wells and five
drills are at work with a considerable
area as yet undevelOped.
''The wells are drilled $50 to 900 feet.
and the oil sand reaches 20 to 40 feet
in thickness. The gas wells will aver
age four million cubic feet, and the
oil wells will average not far from Is
to 20 barrels. The developed field is
about six by ten miles. and but few
dry holes are drilled. Drilling in this
section in valley and on the hill both
appear to give equally good results.
Some oil is shipped to the Neodesha
refinery in tank cars but a large pOr~
ton is now run into storage tanks or
is shut in waiting for the pipe line
