II see her 60 into the barn

cannot find any of her eggs. Suppose
you go now and take another look,
children; it's pretty late in the season
and too warm for her to begin to set at

Il don't see how mother expects to
find Cackle's nest, when it's not light
enough to see anything, and she never

AN AFRICAN ZEBRULE.

of both, although the stubbornness Of
the zebra at times is said to dominate.
The New York Herald says that for
strength, intelligence and alertness this
hybrid is greatly indebted to its zebra
sire. It is more easily broken than the
mule common in American commerce,
and it is the expectation of breeders
that the zebrule will become the mule"
of the twentieth century.

whales Appetite.

The appetite of whaie is phenome-
nal. His chief diet consists of jellyfish.
He has simply to open his mouth and
paddle along leisurely in order to take
in jellyfish by the wagonload. Such
is the method adopted by the whalebone
whale. The sperm whale, on the con-
trary, captures huge squids, weighing
often several tons. Like his brother,
the whalebone whale, he must be con-
stantly on the lookout for food. Other
wise he would starve. AS many as IA
seals have been taken from a 30-foot
killer" Other fishes of enormous ap-
petites are not uncommon. The blue
fish, for example, thrives on sardines
and other small fish. Assuming that
one bluefish eats ten small fish a day,
it has been figured that it requires TO-
OOO, OOO,OOO sardines to feed the 1,000,-
OO0, 900 900 bluefish on the American
coast every summer. Most curious of
all eaters is the HYDRA strange crea-
ture that can be turned inside out With
out tmpairing it's appetite or its powers
to eat.-Gloucester Times.

all his formal politeness he smiled in Q
triumphant, leering way. Eager to get
away, anywhere from the half-amazed
crowd, she murmured an assent. and
leaning on his arm, was escorted nut
into the conservatory, fragrant with
flowers and the musical splash of the
little fountain. He found q seat be-
hind q large palm and led her to it.
Surely you are ill.,, Miss Roylston:
SEQ, there is blood on your hand" he
said, pointing to her right hand, the
back of which was covered by deep
red blot. " e'.'-.
"Oh no." she laughed in forced
gayety, ''That is birth mark" and
she held up her hand, which showed
the skin to be red as though blood had
been spurted over, and as she spoke
she again met that same hooking
smile, that awful look in those mid
night eyes. HE .u
It was very late. The assembly was
beginning to break up, and the guests
to depart. The absence of Miss Royls-
ton and the prince was remarked upon.
They had been in. the conservatory for
more than an hour.
What remarkably entertaining
fellow he must be- was old Roylston'a
comment az he again went to fetch his
truant niece. .-. -
He entered the conservatory, and an
instant later staggered back, pale and
wild-eyed. They supported him,
anxiously inquiring the cause Of his
agitation. But he could only point
and gasp, "Clarabel."
They rushed into the flower house
and there on the seat lay the form OF
the yonng woman who only a shcrN
time before had been the trium phant;
belle Of the ball. Her garments we're
saturated with blood, and long. uel,
cut, identical with the scar on tina
prince, showed the cause.
She was quite dead. On the ground
lay jeweled dagger OF antique make.
They picked it up, and on the handle
was engraved "Daronda."

Mrs. Borden was deep in batch Of

was wrong, and stepped to the door, from
which, to her horror, she saw sIroke

unexpected sight did not cause her to
lose her presence of mind. She caught
the dinner horn fror it's place beside
the door and blew several vigorous
blasts. 49,

WE ARE NOT ORIGINATORS.
Scientists Only Apply and
Assimilate Ideas of European
Investigators. YEA

According to Talcott Williams, who
airs his views in Z magazine article,
American scientists hardly deserve the
name. 1nasmuch as they do not orig
mate, contenting themselves with talk
ing advantage of discoveries made
abroad. Mr. Williams declares that
the American man of science works In
the general laboratory of application
and assimilation. states the Chicago
Chronicle. The individual and epoch
making discovery is not usually made
under American conditions. It has not
been here that chemistry has been rec
ognized by the periodic law Of Mendele-
jeff, or physics by Helmholtz' conception
Of the conservation of energy. The
greater work Of mathematics has not
come from Americans, and it Is not from
them (if we except the work Of Willard
and Wolcott Gibbs, that the flying leap
has been taken from the conceptions OF
the mathematician to the concepts OF
molecular or chemical physics. Ameri-
can physicists last winter seemed to be
principally occupied in describing to
more or less popular audiences what
French and English physicists had &C
complished In radium and radiant en-
ergy. 49, %
The broad, continuous record is made
here in wide round. So is the practical
application of scientific discovery made
elsewhere, but the initial discovery, the
coordinating theory is not usually
American. Bessemer, a German. dis
covered the steel process that bears his
name. English capital applied it. The
United States makes more than half the
worlds Bessemer. This is not an in
variable sequence, hut it is frequent.
Research in Germany, primary applica-
ton in England and expansion in Amer
lea. IN
It is in this country, most rife with the
application of science, but deficient in
original research, that Andrew Carnegie
has given to this special work the largest
endowment yet consecrated to the ex-
tension Of the boundaries Of knowledge.
It is favorite theory in American SCI
entifc circles that much discovery is
stifled here by the insistent claims of
teaching on time and strength. II this
be so the revenue Of the Carnegie insti-
tute furnishes an escape. II 1t does not,
the cause for the relative absence Of dis
covery must be looked for in our imper-
feet elementary education, which stiles
where it should stimulate, and dulls by
routine and mechanical teaching, leav-
ing the mind unable to profit to the high
est by higher study in succeeding years.

The webs enable him to do this in the

TOOK HIM FOR A THIEF.
seTourist" in Kansas Had q Rough
Experience, But Came Out
Something Ahead.

A reformed tourist" of the govern
ment printing Office recently told how
he was once captured for burglar out
in Kansas. He and his partner had sue
ceeded' in getting about 100 miles west
from Kansas City on the blind bag
gage" of an express train, to q point
where their road crossed north and
south road. There their train stopped,
relates the Washington Post.
"Then," said he, Everything alive In
the neighborhood seemed to be NOV
ing, and, armed with pitchforks, hoes,
clubs and all sorts of weapons, a mob
surrounded us and dragged us from the
platform of the carat least, they got
me, but my partner kicked one of them
in the jaw and broke his hold. and jump
ing on the again moving train, escaped.
They dragged me up into the town,
calling me thief and scoundrel and
other things, even saying that anybody
could tell by my countenance that I was
a burglar"
He demanded to know the crimes with
which he was charged.
'Oh, we know you," they yelled.
You're the thief that broke into Bagg's
grocery store last night and stole five
boxes Of sardines." s,..
Five boxes of sardines-me? wish
I was! haven't eaten as much as that
In six months. Oh, how wish had
as much as one, only one poor little
sardine."
"Who are you and where do you come
from?" asked one.
I'm printer, am" said he, and
I'm hunting work."
IF you're a printer, where is your
card? I'm an old union printer myself"
Here's my card, all right" said he,
digging it up.
"Sure,". said his new-found friend.
This fellow is all right. This card
shows that he left Kansas City this
morning; SO how could he have burgled
Bagg's last night?" 49,,
He was turned loose.
do you want to 60 to work?" asked
the friend. what can you do?"
Anything that anybody else can do
straight type, ads, job work, bend
rules, drive in dutchmens, kick press,
anything at ALL"
"All right; I'll give you job-$10 q
week." said the country editor-for he
it was.
You're on" said the printer; "but I
want to get fixed up little flrst-be-
sides, it's too late to 60 to work to-day"
Here's dollar" said his new boss;
"you'd better go to the hotel tonight"
Mr.. Printer went and got shaved,
boots BACKED, brushed up, supper at
the hotel, and everything that he
thought was coming to him, and was
standing out on the sidewalk, picking
his teeth, when he heard another train
whistle for the same crossing. He made
break for it, climbed up to his old
perch on the blind baggage" and fol-
lowed after his "pard," little behind
time, but shave, shine and supper
ahead Of the game, besides the change
out Of the dollar.

First Steamboat to Cross the Ocean.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue of the 10th notice an arti-
Gle copied from the London Express which
says the first steamer to cross the Atlantic
from the united kingdom was the Sirius. in
1888. A casual reading of the article might
lead one to suppose that this was the first
steamer to cross the ocean: but such was
not the case, for the steamer Savannah
built at New York. sailed from Savannah
for Liverpool May 26. 1919. and made the
trip to Liverpool successfully in twenty-five
days.
Niles Register of August p, 1919, con-
tanned the following notice of it:
THE steamer Savannah. Capt Moses
lantic. arrived at Liverpool in twenty-five
days from Savannah, all we'll. to the great
astonishment of the people at that place.
Before she started on her trip President
Monroe, with his suite and several naval
officers, dined on board of her and told Mr.
Scarborough. one of her owners, when she
returned to bring her to Washington, for
he thought the government would buy her
and use her as cruiser on the coast Of
Cuba. All this occurred nineteen years be-
fore the first European steamer crossed the
Atlantic but twelve years before that, In
1907. Fulton had built and run the Cler-
mont on the Hudson. But even before that
as early as July p, 17S6, Fitch built and
ran a boat by steam on the Delaware
which was the first boat operated by steam
In the United States. While Fulton Is gen
orally credited with being the inventor of
the steamboat, such Is not the fact for
Fitch. Oliver Evans Rumsey. Morey and
several others had actually built and pro-
PEELED boats by steam before him. Fulton
was. however, the first to make 1t sue
cess, and hence the credit has been given to
him, thus confirming the maxim that

aeisha Girls Want to Stay in America

A dispatch from st. Louis last night says:
A hearing which is to determine. subject to
possible revision at Washington. whether
the seventeen Geisha girls who are now
held prisoners here shall be permitted to

to Japan began today at thu office of James
r. Dunn, inspector ofgirnR1igration. The
girls have been employed at, a concession on

send them back to their. homes, but they
do not want to go back. and are making a
fight.with the assistance eflettorneys whom
they have retained, tesbe psrmitted to stay

The contention of the glrrls is that they
have been admitted legally to the country;
that they. are high-class artists, and that
to compel them to return, to japan when
they would rather renaiR in, America and
follow their profession WOULD be an en-
croachment on their rights, The Japanese
commissioners insist that the girls were
admitted to the country for the specific
purpose of appearing In japanese entertain
ments on the pike. and that for the gov
eminent of the United States to fail to en-
force their return to Japan would not only
be a reputation of an implied obligation,
but violation of the immigration laws.

Collision on New York Elevated.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: One man was killed and numerous
persons narrowly escaped serious injury in
a collision on the Sd avenue elevated to-
night. The dead man is Irving Lamphere.
motorman on one of the trains. He was
pinned under the wreckage, and died shortly
after being removed. An engine and several
cars were being switched to the express
track when they ran into a train standing
at 112th street. Iron work on the wrecked
car came in contact with the third rail, and
caused a series of explosions like a can
nonade. Considerable damage was done
to the 'L' structure and its rolling stock
through fire and the collision. It is esti-
mated that the financial loss is $4,000.
