From the New York Times.fla
1t is probably not generally known that
during recent years Japanese contribu-
tions to science have been numerous and
important. The mosev conspicuous sue

to have been in the field of biological re-
search, study demanding great patience.

Reflections on Expectoration.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
So far as the insanitary effect of splitting
in public places is concerned the efficacy
of the anti-spitting ordinance will soon be
arrested. There is no doubt that when
consumptives and other diseased persons
expectorate in a street car or a closed
apartment in the winter time the sputa
are Immediately evaporated by the artifi-
cial heat and then the pathogenic germs
are blown around in the car or apartment
and are inhaled by all who are present. In
the summer months evaporation goes on
everywhere and all the time and all the
Sputa that fall in the center of the street
even are Immediately dried and mixed with
the dust and 60 wherever the dust goes
The merchants who at their own expense
pave the streets in front of their establish
ments with asphalt and then have them
swept ard watered go to this expense be-
cause they find the dust of the street in
side the bandboxes on the top floors of their
buildings. What chance is there. then. for
the lungs of pedestrians to escape from 1t?
1t is something gained in point of de-
cency. to be sure. to have the sidewalks
kept free from sputa. but so far as disgust
Is concerned it is almost as disgusting to
see every one running to the curbstone to
spit as 1t Is to see people spit on the side
walk. The main advantage is that the
large number of people who spit just to be
splitting may prefer not to spit at all rather
than take the trouble IN crowded street
to make their way to the curbstone. The
greatest splitting nuisance that people SUI
fer from in the summer months Is one that
the anti-spitting ordinance does not pro-
h:bit, but indirectly promotes. This Is the
habit some people have of sitting on
moving street car and splitting into the
street. This amounts precisely to splitting
in the face of the people sitting behind
them Hitherto some of the street car
spitters have spat on the floor of the car.

youth I made study of anatomy. While
at college in Lexington, KY. 1 had three
skulls in my room, and in that way / ac-
quired sort of liking for such strange

II got my real start as a collector of
skulls in 1887. when my father moved the
town of Minton from one corner of his
ranch to a spot twenty miles distant, on
account of the extension of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern. 1t happened
that there was a graveyard in the town of
Minton. although the village was only five
years old. 1t was too difficult undertake
ing to move the graveyard. The cemetery
fell into disuse few years later, and it
was found necessary to grade portion of
the ground. Nearly hundred skeletons
were unearthed. 1 took charge of the whole
lot.
After futile effort to get the people
who had originally lived the spot to
relieve me of my burden had all the skel-
etons reinforced, keeping the skull of each.

purpose at my winter home In Corpus

collection became large one. After that

Princess Alexandra CT Brunswick.
hagen a year ago, having become weary of
the many infatuations and affairs of the
heart of the young prince, who succeeded
in drawing in his love net in recent years
many of the most beautiful and wealthy
of Uncle Sans fair women.
The emperor has just made known the
engagement to the whole world. he par
ticularly wished to set at rest i'll positive
manner the rumors that the crown prince
was engaged to marry ar American beauty,
Miss Gladys Parker Deacon.
1t was stated some time ago that the
crown prince had actually proposed mar
riage to Miss Deacon, giving her at the
time a handsome diamond ring, which
Queen Victoria had presented to him. tell
ing him that he should never part with it
except to his wife. 1t was said at the time
that Miss Deacon cast the ring at the feet
of his ma jesty's representative. but the
story was afterward absolutely denied by
every one concerned.
A Tickle Prince.
The crown prince is easily susceptible to
feminine charms, and was ready to re-
nounce his throne for the sake of woman
when he was still in his teens. He met
Miss Eleanor Dreisel of Columbus, Ohio,
. a. Bonn, and for a long time a friendship
existed between the two, the girl not being
aware that her young friend was a royal
prince. When Miss Dreisel, who is older
than William, discovered his identity she
was Frustrated with grief, it was said
the youth proposed marriage, and offered
to go to America to live.
The crown prince has been kind and
agreeable to Miss Isadore Duncan, the
dancer, who was in Berlin last winter; he
took special pains when in Vienna to tell
Edyth Walker that he thought she had a
wonderful voice; he has long admired
Bessie Abbot, the American girl who has
been at the Paris Opera House. and he
has gone out of his way to be nice to
Berlin.
But among all the girls, professional
and otherwise, American, German, French
and English. with whom he is supposed
to have been violently in love, and to
have proposed marriage, there is not or
