JUMBO'S HEART is ON FILE.
Treasured by Cornell University
Which Has No Glass Jar Large
Enough to Receive It.

The largest heart in the world. which
once beat in the generous bosom of
Jumbo. the great elephant. is one Of the
treasures of the museum in the depart
ment of neurology at Cornell university,
says the New York World. The heart is
SO large that there is no glass jar large
enough to receive 1t. SO it cannot take
its place in the ranks Of other hearts
which stand on record in the museum.
Instead, it rests in barrel slowed away
in the cellar Of the museum waiting it's
turn for dissection. When 1t is finally
dissected by the students it will be de-
stroyed
Jumbo's heart is SO times as large as
the average human heart 1t now weighs
36h pounds, after having stood several
years in alcohol. A human heart, which
weighs little more than pound.
soaked in alcohol for the same length
Of time. weighs ten ounces
The human heart is less than six
Inches long. Jumbo's is 2S inches long
and "a inches wide. The ordinary heart
will go inside the main artery of Jum-
bo's heart. The walls Of the artery are
hve-eighths Of an inch thick and the
walls OF the ventricle are three inches
thick.

END OF MEAT STRIKE
Great Struggle Is Expected TO Be
Terminated This Week.
VICTORY LIES WITH PACKERS

They VIII Re employ as Msny Strikers
as Possible, but All New Workers
Who Wish to Stay Are to Be Re-
tanned.
Chicago, Sept. 6.-The Tribune says
that as the result of conference just
held between representatives Of the
unions involved in the packing house
strike and Of the owners Of the plants
the end Of the long labor struggle is
set for the middle of this week.
An understanding was arrived at by
which the men will meet at once and
vote on the question OF calling off the
strike. According to the plans made,
they win be instructed to cast their
ballots in the affirmative.
These plans were made with secrecy
and care. They originated week ago
In Chicago with certain of the packers
and of the conservative labor leaders,
Fearing the execution of the scheme
would fail If attempted in Chicago. il
was determined to make the first move
In New York.
The ending Of the strike in the east
ern city by the vote of the men ON Sat
urday was this first step The settle
ment there made is the same as that
now proposed for Chicago
The following are the chief points Of
the arrangement:
The unions to call off the strike.
The packers to re-employ as many Of
the strikers as they can give work to
and to give the preference to the for
mer employees In the future AS many
Of the new workers as wish to remain
are TO be retained
Wages Of the skilled men to remain
at the rate paid before the strike
The packers, who have often declar-
ed they would not meet the labor men
will undoubtedly deny that confer
ence has been held, but the fact re-
mains that duly authorized represent
atives OF the owners of the packing
plants did meet the labor men.
What doubt existed as to the posi-.
ton Of the switchmen in the strike has
been dispelled by Grand Master Frank
Hawley Of the organization HawIey
at a meeting Of the union said the
men would remain at work.
The first serious break III the strike
came when fifty striking live stock
handlers were relnstated and at once
resumed their former duties

abling the Japanese to bring up two

force along the railroad. During the
night the transport moved into Lao

casualties. At the same time the Jap

During the assault shells from the
field guns and rife bullets fell in the
city. The Russian ships in the harbor
participated in the firing.
A reliable authority in touch with
events at Port Arthur declares that q
week ago the garrison numbered ap-
proximately 1900. Accepting the
Chinese report Of the recent losses, the
efficient men now number $4,000. The
past weeks advices confirm previous
deductions that the japanese are bend
ing their fiercest energy to secure an
ingress along the railroad. Itzshan,
Rhlungshan, Palungshan, Antszshan
and other positions frequently men
toned, sustaining the most desperate
and repeated assaults and lombard
ments, all directly or indirectly block
the plan Of the japanese. The ar
rangement Of the forts, affording mu-
tuaI support, renders the Japanese
scheme exceedingly difficult of execu-
ton. No Japanese have been near
Liaoti promontory for some time.
The Japanese now expect, II is stated.
two months or possibly more of fight
ing before the fortress is taken. They
give the garrison no rest. Assaults
no sooner cease than the artillery in
creases its thunder. The garrison is
said to be greatly worn and weary,
but determined to continue resistance,
always hoping that General Kuropat-
kin will soon gain sufficient strength
to come to their relief. The Russians
in Chefu fear that the recent Japa-
nese victory at Liaoyang win have a
dispairing effect on the Port Arthur
garrison when they learn Of it. When
this Information will reach them is
uncertain, as the japanese blockade
is very tight
