investigate Various Subjects.
In the reading room OF the British
museum the desks are crowded with
students all day long. and In addition
to the books of reference some 10000
in number, which fill the open shelves
OF the room. from 5000 to 1000 vol
umes are given out every day. Theol-
ogy in a wide sense. including the BIZ
BILE, biblical literature. church history
and works on the religious rites and
ceremonies OF all races and creeds. is
easily at the head of the list. with
about 800 volumes. Topography
comes next. with about twenty fewer.
and of these books on London amount
to quarter, books on English topog-
raphy to another quarter. the other
half being for the rest of the world.
History and biography come next.
English history being mostly in de-
mand, and books on France and the
French province second.
Essays. criticisms and miscellaneous
literature take the fourth place and
are followed by fiction-not less than
five years old-moral philosophy. poet
ry and the fine arts. the drama, law
and philology, political economy and so
on down to politics. mathematics and
chemistry, which have about forty
volumes apiece. and lastly works on
naval and military subjects. which sell
dom have more than three or four vol
umes each. 1t is curious list and
throws a useful light on the sort of

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-P. j. Walsh,
who conducts the Hunters hotel, at
South Orange and Mum avenue, South
Orange, N. j., is the owner of an in
teresting flock of green hens. There
are yellow hens and some blue fowl
also, but the green chickens are the
most conspicuous. 1t is not necessary
to partake of the good cheer dispensed
at the Hunters tavern before seeing
these chickens. Many poultry fanciers
studied the breed closely and were
mystified until Mr.. Walsh explained
that "the chickens are painted" You
know" he said, sometimes chickens
go astray, and so many of mine wan
dered off that l painted them green so
that we could distinguish them"
M H. Metzler, who lives across the
street, has painted his hens red, and
William Simmons, a neighbor, chose
yellow. When they all get together the
effect is startling and improves Mr.
Walshs bar trade. The green chickens
and the yellow chickens are in constant
battle

LEFT HUSBAND ON ICE
Afterward the Wife, Scared and Sor-

Thawed Him Out
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
TRENTON, Nov. 3.-More dead than
alive, Frank r. Borden tumbled In a
heap from the big refrigerator in his
meat and grocery store. His scared
wife, who had unwittingly locked him
In the freezer, put him to bed and
nursed him tenderly until he was
thawed out, and he is none the worse
for his two hours battle for life.
Borden had gone into the Ice box
to arrange some meats, leaving the
door ajar.
How careless of some one" said
Mrs. Borden few minutes later, slam
ming the door shut and turning the
catch. The noise drowned the yell of
CONSERVATION let out by Borden, but
his wife did not hear, and walked
leisurely away while the captive beat a
tattoo against the walls of his icy
prison.
Gradually the intense cold chilled the
grocer and he set to tossing about
sides of beef and wrestling with heavy
tubs of lard and butter to keep himself
from freezing. Then the lack of mir
affected him, and for an hour between
gasps he battled for breath and
warmth.
After time Mrs. Borden missed her
husband; she could not account for his
disappearance and numerous customers
were demanding attention. Greatly agi-
tated, she went to his known haunts
and then notified the police. While she
was trying to serve the customers she
had occasion to go to the refrigera tor,
and when she swung open the heavy
door Borden, choked and nearly over
come with the cold, stumbled out and
fell headlong to the floor

ONE MEAL A DAY ENOUGH
Chicago Tinker a Firm Believer In
Thomas A. Edison's
Theorv
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Nov. 81. p Kimmell
believes with Thomas A. Edison that
one meal a day is enough for any
man. He is a locksmith at 313 Garfield
boulevard, takes his meal at a restau-
rant, and never spends more than 10 or
90 cents for it. Forced by poverty,
he first began to cut down his food
supply. His health is so good and his
mind so clear that he says he would
not resume the three meals a day habit
if he were rich.
Kimmell told about it yesterday be-
tween puffs of his briar pipe-his sole
luxury. He was not in good humor.
A friend had brought him half section
of pumpkin pie. In an i'll advised mo-
ment the locksmith had eaten small
portion of it.
Now my appetite for dinner is
spoiled" said he. "Well, I've got to pay
for being greedy"
1t was o'clock in the afternoon and
he had eaten nothing since the night
before.
For more than year." said Mr..
Kimmell, II have limited myself to one
light meal a day. 1 drink two glasses
of water daily and smoke two ounces
of strong tobacco. l am 81 years old
and my health never has been better.
| am stronger than I was year ago,
mentally and physically. l weigh lab
pounds"
Have you lost any weight?" some
one interrupted.
Since 1 adopted an abstemious diet
I have lost one pound" was the answer.
Il do not attribute it to my diet. |
believe 1t is due to worry because l
have not been able to get more work,
and make more money, and carry out
certain ambitious plans"
Kimmell, be it understood, has a
theory that he can raise chickens by
artificial means that are greatly in ad-
vance of present methods of incuba-
ton. He is saving up money to start
incubating on a small scale. AS his
present capital is but $17350 and his
savings last year, despite his economy,
were only $500, he fears his dream is a
long way off.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Nov 3.-In SEN
fencing w. f. Brown, president of the
failed First National bank. to FIVE
years in the penitentiary, Judge III. 4.
Reed of the northern district of Iowa
has set new mark of severity in the
matter of melting out punishment to
erring bankers I'm this state.
In the last five years there have
been thirty-six bank failures in Iowa
which attracted attention. OF these.
twenty-four did not provoke any prose-
Cutlons; In six other cases the heads
OF the institutions committed suicide.
taking no chances of being sent to
prison; In the remaining six moderate
sentences were imposed. The longest
term, prior to the one just passed in
this city, was three years. That was
administered to F. e. Dunning of
Mount Ayr, who failed for s125O0O. J.
c.. Brown of Wapello was given two
and one-half years for beating his
creditors out of $4,000. e. w. Soule of
Iowa Falls got off with eighteen
months, although he caused a loss of
$4,000. Thomas Ward of lie Mars
gambled away 100000 Of his depositors'
money, and after long trial w5s SEN
fenced to one month I'm the county Jail
and never spent a single night In
cell. Letson Balliett of Des Moines,
who added promoting to his banking,
was prosecuted for causing a loss of
$25O,0OO, and he escaped with a thirty
day jail sentence.
The suicides were George D. Wood
of Colfax, who failed for $125,000
Charles Wood of st. Charles, S120000
p. L. LaRue of Corning, $4,000; G..
C. Utterback of Sigourney, 100000;
Harry Mayne of Beck Grove, $4,000,
and a banker of Lone Tree, whose
name and amount failed for are not
recalled.
In sentencing w. r. Brown, Judge
Reed said he agreed in a large meas
ure with counsel for defendant who
made plea for leniency. claiming that
there was no evidence of self-interest
or viciousness in the transaction which
caused Browns downfall. The court
said his idea of punishment was that 1t
served three ends, viz: To punish the
man for violation of the law; second,
to reform the individual, and third, to
make him a warning example TO others.
He thought the five-year sentence,
which, by the way, Is the minimum for
the crime for which he was convicted,
would serve the ends of justice.
Brown was in fact sentenced for five
years on each of six counts, but the
terms are to run concurrently. Brown
is broken in health and Is said to be
penniess. His misappication of funds
caused a loss to creditors of about
S1S5,000. He has a wife and two chill
dren He Is fortysiX years of age.

GRAFT IN COLLEGE
President of Oberlin Charges Loose
ness In Handling Funds, but
No Accounting
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 3.-"The spirit
of graft which seems to have pervaded
the country has made its way even
into colleges and universities. said
DIR. Henry c. King, president of Oberlin
college, who came to Milwaukee TO-DAY
to lecture before the Congregational
club.
This graft in some colleges has
shown itself in the handling of large
funds by athletic boards and other
organizations. There seems to be great
looseness, and in many instances no
proper accounting ever has been made.
l think however, just as there has come
revival in municipal affairs so there
has been an awakening in colleges, and
old conditions are being corrected.
Tainted money? Yes, this subject,
too, is receiving general attention. Some
say money should be taken from the
devil himself as long as it can be con-
verted into proper uses. Personally L
cannot say 1 am entirely clear upon
the subject ] do believe, however, that
if an institution which accepts this
money takes the proper stand there can
be no harm in it. 1 acknowledge, how
ever. that there is tendency among
those who accept money from certain
sources to feel under obligations. 1t
is a sort of a bribe, by which the col
lege agrees to refrain from showing
antagonism to certain interests.
81 feel that where one man like Mr..
Rockefeller has accumulated such vast
amount of money it cannot in reality all
belong to him, that it is more than one
man can earn, and that a large portion
of it belongs to society. Consequently,
when such money is turned over for
public use, as it is when it is given
TO a. church or college, the giver is
really only returning to society that
which belongs to it,"
