Two Headed symbols

Both Russia and Germany display
two headed eagles on their standards.
Yet this symbol Is considered by some
heralds to be merely the result OF the
heraldic practice of Humiliation" This
was simply child's way of impaling
two coats OF arms on the same shield
by the primitive method of cutting
each In half and taking the dexter half
of one and the sinister half of the other
and placing them back to back, as II
were. Strange two headed beasts nat
urally resulted. as, for instance, when
d lion and an eagle were halved and
joined together. The griffin ID sup
posed to have been evolved from two
lions rampant by dimidiation. 1t robs
the two headed eagle Of half Its ter
rors to know that 1t owes Its origin
to this sort of child's play.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
IS FIGHTING FAT

WASHINGTON. Aug 6.-Presdent
Roosevelt has trouble other than poll
tics. He is getting-well. fat. Before
he was "portly" or rather stout" but
since he has passed the compound mark
it Is nothing but fat. He weighs now
2OS pounds, and the last twelve pounds
he has put on worries him.
Try as hard as he can, he does not
seem able to reduce himself The Pre-
sident has put in some strenuous days
in the last month at oyster Bay racing
about the tennis court in the heat of
the day in an effort to get himself
down to weight. Horseback riding, up
on which he has always depended,
failed him. Now he puts in the most
of the weight reducing exercise at
tennis. He knows he gets more real
exercise out of that than he\does in a
100-mile horseback ride.
Ever since he became President, Mr..
Roosevelt has been putting on flesh.
He weighed when he first came to
Washington s Vice President but 1S5
pounds. He had carefully kept his
weight down by the most vigorous
exercise. During the short time he was
Vice President the exercise was con-
tinued without cessation but the mani
fold duties of the presidential office
have prevented the President from de-
voting as much time as he would like
to exercise.
Clothes that the President wore
when he first came to Washington are
much too small for him now. He has
chest measurement of forty-one
inches. His collars have increased in
size from 161s to 171a and the President
wears his collars tight. The Pres-
dents flesh causes him no inconveni-
ence, but he simply disikes to be
fat.

SIERRA BEAT
THE COPTIC

The American flag waved in triumph
race from this port to San Francisco
between the American steamer Sierra
of the Oceanic line and the British
steamer Coptic of the Occidental and
Oriental company. The two vessels
left this port a week ago today, the
Coptic at 10 a. m. and the Sierra at
1920. Yesterday morning at 3 a. m.
the Sierra passed the Farralones
while her rival crossed the line four
hours later. The mails We're on the
Sierra.
When the two boats left this port
there was a good deal of speculation as
to which would win and a good many
thought that the Coptic's reputation for
past would be upheld in her contest
with the new and untred American
boat. There We're others who said that
there would be no race because the
steamship companies would not allow
the boats to use coal for such a pur-
pose.
There may have been no race but
there is no question that there was
some hurry about the passage. A pro-
minent officer in the o. G. o. Com
pany's service said last week, "If the
Coptic is beaten it will be because the
Sierra is the better boat. There may
be no race but the Coptic will make
her best time between this port and
San Francisco. The o. &; o. boats have
to do their best to make their sched-

try the tadpoles behave In unusual
ways. The rain pools In which the
eggs of these frogs are laid dry UP in
a very short time. but the tadpoes
are forearmed against such calamity

before the gills are lost, so that they
may easily and quickly make their

tadpoles in the United States have no
such early development of legs, but
they are provided for by their father

from pool to pool as each in succession
dries up.

L|SIANSKY SKINS.
HAD DISAPPEARED

Captain Weisbarth of the schooner
Lavinia had another stroke OF bad
luck on his voyage to Laysan Island.
He was warned by the officers Of the
Thetis before he started that he must
not attempt to get any of the bird
skins left by the Japanese on Lisian-
ton. The schooner left this port June
2S, going to Bird Island and then TO
Necker Island.
After leaving Necker the Lavinia's
chromometer broke down and the lit
tie vessel sailed about without any
knowledge of her position until on July
II the U. S. Army Transport Sheridan
was sighted. She gave Weisbarth his
position about 800 miles west of French
Frlgate Shoals.
On the 18th the Lavinia arrived at
Laysan but did not take on any guano
on account of her springing leak
which was temporarily repaired. Lisi-
ansky was reached on the Goth but to
the captains disappointment all the
skins had been removed, numerous
footprints on the beach telling too
plainly of the recent visit of the Jap
anese schooner.
The wreck of the French bark was
seen at French Frigate Shoals but as
everything movable had been taken
away on Capt. Weisbarth's previous
trip he made no attempt TO get any
thing more.
