when it was desired to photograph a
nest and eggs it was frequently neces-
sary to push the nesting albatross from
the nest, the bird merely pecking at
the intruder. Darwin describes doves
at one island he visited as apparently
unable to comprehend that man was
an enemy. The birds could be showed
from the limbs before they moved, and
even attempted to alight upon the
heads of the men. In Kerguelen land
the birds in some OF the extensive
rookeries refused to move as the men
strobe along, holding their ground and
pecking SO violently at the invaders,
that they were forced to beat a re-
treat. These birds had never seen d
man before, and failed to recognize
him as an enemy.-Scientific American.

SPLIT Ill BRITISH CABINET
Chamberlain's Tariff Policy Repudiat-
ed in Parliament.
SENSATIONAL DEBATE IN HOUSE


LOndon.-The rum0red resignation o.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain ; tile
most startling development Of than ro-
posal of the Chancellor of the Fxcne.
quer, Mr.. Richie. to abolish the corn
tax. the debate on which kept the
House of Commons packed and spell
bound until midnight. Even il Premier
Balfour persuades Mr.. Chamberlain to
remain in the Cabinet the Colonial Sec
retary's preferential tariff program is
hopelessly showed under. and his infu-
ence as a political power in Great Bril-
tain at least temporarily eclipsed.
Premier Balfour ascertained from
John Redmond, the Irish leader, that
the Nationalist members of Parliament
would support the Government as
against Mr.. Chaplin, who introduced
the bill which denounces the removal
of the corn tax as a needless and injur-
iOus disturbance Of trade and a serious
loss of revenue. The Liberal leader,
Sir Henry Campbell annerman, had
already announced that his party
would uphold the proposal Of Mr.. Rit-
chic to remit the grain tax. This prac-
tically secures the Government against
defeat by its own supporters.
In the discussion in the Commons Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach declared that the
corn tax vas successful, although I'M
popular. He had heard the proposed
repeal with surprise and regret. The
tax was necessary, because of the
growth Of expenditures against which
he had protested.
"Had my protests been received with
more sympathy" he said amid loud
cheers from the Opposition, 81 would
not now be speaking from the Treasury
Bench"
Chancellor of the Exchequer Richie
announced that he would be unable to
support Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain's Zollverein scheme. He said:
"Thc question of colonial preference
has been brought forward by the Colo
NAL Secretary. The Prime Minister'S
attitude of suspended judgment in this
matter is impossible. I am opposed to
the principles and policy Of the Colo
NAL Secretary, believing they will do
more to diSunite than to unite the cm-
pre- cloud Opposition cheers).
Those members of the Government
who have spoken for protection have
spoken for themselves alone" contin-
ued Mr.. Ritchie. "All that has been
said on the subject was that it should
be discussed and inquired into. / an
an avowed free trader, and cannot con.
ceive of any system in which a prefer
entail tariff would be practicable as at
present advised. l cannot be a party
to a policy which in my opinion would
be detrimental to both England and the
colonies" Great Opposition cheers.
Mr.. Ritchie's marked opposition to
Mr.. Chamberlain's plan created a SEN
sation in the Hobbies, and gave rise to
rumors that there would be an early
dissolution of Parliament. Those best
Informed, however, think that this will
not occur before the late fall.
1t was the general opinion in the
lobby of the House of Commons that
the entire question of tariff preference
will be submitted to a royal commits
sion, which will be charged with test
ing the growth of popular opinion on
the matter.

SALEM WITCHES GRAVE FouNl
Now Shown They Were Hanged ON Sma
Plateau and Not on Gallows Hill.


Salem, Mass.-The grave has given
up its secret after two centuries. The
Salem witches were not hanged on the
crest of Gallows Hill, where the tablet
in their memory stands to-day, but on
the small plateau at its base. Here
their grave has been discovered. and.
besides, a part of the natural monu-
ment to the martyrs, the butt of a
locust tree set by one of the descend
ants of the proctors, has been un-
earthed.
~Antiquarians hunted over Gallows
Hill for years for the crevice in the
rocks in which the bodies of Bur-
roughs, the minister, and Willard and
Carrier were said to have been thrown.
The crevice is at the base of Gallows
Hill. a peculiar formation Of rock not
noted anywhere else in the near vicin-
ity. One of the proctors, who came
in possession Of the plateau, set out
locust trees to mark the grave Of his
grandfather, a witchcraft martyr, and
the stump, dug a few days ago from a
crevice in the rock, is undoubtedly the
remains of the memorial.

Animal surrerx.

The science Of animal surgery and
medicine is thus proving of the widest
benefit to our valuable cage animals
and birds and to those which are kept
In our homes as pets. The drugs and
medicines which are given to man to
combat diseases can In a modified way
prove of immediate benefit to the ami
mails under our charge. The study Of
the symptoms of sick animals has al
ways been interesting and more
puzzling than those which the doctor
observes among his human patients,
because there is no way for the animals
to explain their pains. Yet, in a way,
there is an intelligent animal language
which animal doctors are quick in in
terpreting. Through their sympathy
and observation they are quick in dis.
covereing what the trouble is with the
creature-whether it is a stomach or
headache or pain in the. throat or leg.
In short, they have learned to enter
in such close sympathy with the ami
mails that there is almost human inter.
course between them.
