ALDEN. Arabia, April 25.-The situation in
Turkish Arabia has become critical 1t
transpires that only a thousand of the

visions and large quantities Of rifles and
ammunition. The investment of Sanaa by

man officials are anXiously awaiting the ar
rival of European battalions, upon whom
the fate of the capital of Yemen province
depends.

A Remarkable Conclusion.
From Clever.


Sir John Lubbock says that the bees OF
the genus Osmia arrange their cells in a
row, and that the cells furthest from the
entrance always contain females, while the
outer cells always contain males. There is
an obvious advantage in this, because the
males come out a fortnight or more before
the females, and it is, of course, convenient
that those which have to come out first
should be in the cells nearest the door. M.
Fabre arranged a number of glass tubes,
of which the Osmias gladly awaited them
selves, and in which they proceeded to con-
struct their cells. The tubes were SO ar
ranged that each was in two parts, an
outer portion wide enough for a female
CELL and inner narrower portion just
large enough for a male cell. What hap
pened? Some of the Osmias shut off the
narrow ends and used only the outer and
wider portion. Others built also in the mar
row part of the tube and under these cir
cumStances contrary to the otherwise in
variable rule. the inner cells contained
males. NJ Fabre concludes that these
privileged insects not only know the sex
of the insect which will emerge from the
egg they are about to lay. but that at their
own will they can actually control it, Ger
tainly a most curious and interesting re-
suit!

BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.
Claim That Pool Room Men Are Within
the Law.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO. Nd April 25-It
is learned here that the promoters of the
proposed pool room to be located at the
terminus of the electric railway at Kenil
worth have been legally advised that they
can operate under the general laws of the
state. The records show that on April II
Francis a. Clabelouix and his wife, Katie
decided several acres of land and improve
ments to Percy T. Humphrey. This prop
erty is known as the old Mccormick place
and is located just over the District line in
Prince George county. 1t faces the Bladens-
burg and Benning roads. The nominal
consideration in the deed is $40. The cash
payment was about 81 800. and there is a
mortgage recorded on the same date from
Humphrey to Clabelouix to secure pay
ment of balance of purchase money. $500.
This makes the price agreed to be paid for
the property not over 5000.
There appears no lorger any doubt that
the parties interested in the Kenilworth
POOL room are the same as those who for
merly conducted a pool room in Virginia
at st. Asaph's. James w. Humphrey and
J. NJ. Hill are said TO be the prime movers
and with them are associated several New
York and Washington stock brokers, be-
sides men who have recently been engaged
in making handbooks in Washington.
1t is stated that Geographic facilities for
the pool room viii be secured from the
WESTERN OUIOH COMPANY ana ABOUT
6oZen poles will run from the wires along
the Pennsylvania railroad to the pool room.
The poles are on private property and per-
mission to erect them has been obtained. 1t
is stated, from Mr.. James C. Sheriff, the
reputed owner of the land. The promoters
claim that no authority will be required
from the county commissioners to cross the
county road, no poles Will be erected
county property, the necessary wires only
being strung across the road. and in no
way interfering with the countys rights.
1t is understood that the promoters have
been given assurances that they will not
be interfered with and they claim that
they will conduct a high-class place,
Guiding all cheap sports and others whose
presence might be detrimental to their in
terests Admission will be by card only.
1t is proposed to organize club IN the near
future. 1t can be stated positively that
these people not relying upon the char
ter of the Southern Maryland Fair Associa-
ton to operate the pool room, but rely
simply upon the general state laws.

Major Sylvester, chief of the District po-
lice, is now fast getting in the returns OF
the recent police census of the District, and
while the reports already filed are not now

Dead Faces Live Again.

From the New York Herald.
If you would look into the living faces Of
the ancients, or feel that you have done so,
or If you would know how the living nota-
bles of your generation would look If dead,
procure an invitation from DR.. Wallace
Wood. who holds the Morse chair of art
in the New York University, and spend a
half hour with the art Pantheon" on ex-
hibition i'm his class room.
The Pantheon, or Sun Dome" is a COM
plicaton of revolving domes and refiectors,
which, artistically speaking, bring the dead
to life and the living to death, according
to the color of the sphere in which each
portrait is placed. For example, put Crom-
well in the red sphere. Milton in the golden
sphere, Plato in the blue sphere. and as you
look into these faces they seem to have the
expression of real life, and you feel that
you are in the presence of those who died
centuries ago.
Domes of various colors and tints are
placed in the windows of the room. and
visitors are asked to suggest a name for
the device, which has only recently been
perfected. DIR. Wood predicts that the in
yention may bring about many remarkab BILE
changes in the art world.

placed under arrest this morning by De-
tectives Hartigan and Bauer on a charge
of grand larceny He was turned over to
Ralph Given, assistant district attorney,
by the officers. and efforts were being made
this afternoon to give bond for the pris-
oner to procure his release.
The arrest was made on information
given by Mrs. Lee Gillian, who keeps a
cigar stand at 602 Louisiana avenue north
west. According to the police. MIR. Kuhn
has not had place to stay for some time
and he has been allowed to sleep in the
store kept by Mrs. Gillian. His trunk
and other possessions are there. Yester-
day he went to the store and was there
between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr.. Gillian came at the time and the
three were the only ones in the store The
husband asked for some money to pay for
a graphophone and Mrs Gillian got out
two packages of money. In breaking open
one of them she noticed that it was COM
posed of big bills and she laid it aside.
She then gave her husband some money
out of the other package and her husband
went out leaving. she said to the police,
herself and the prisoner in the store alone.
Mrs. Gillian then stepped into the back
room and when she came back she says
Mr.. Kuhn was gone. Then she missed her
money and endeapored to find Kuhn. She
thought he had played a joke on her and
waited for his return.
When he came back Mrs. Gillian asked
him for the money. but he denied any
knowledge of it of it's whereabouts. This
morning she went to police headquarters
and complained of the larceny accusing
Kuhn of it. A warrant was issued 70 rhis
arrest and he was taken into custody to-
day at about IL o'clock.
This case will come up for a Police Court
hearing tomorrow morning before Judge
Scott. AS the package contained about
$50 In money the offense is a grand jury
offense.
Assistant United States Attorney Given
accepted Mr.. Kuhns personal bonds to
appear in Police Court for trial tomorrow
morning.

A Woman Undertaken.

From the plgrim
There is probably no time when the quet,
gentle minstrations of woman are more
appreciated than when death enters home,
and it is rather surprising that so few wo-
men are funeral directors. The prejudice
against women physicians is rapidly disap-
pearing. and, although no prejudice exists
against the woman undertaken. it undoubt-
edly required courage on the part of the
first women who entered that profession.
Mrs. Florence Duley, of Des Moines, Iowa.
made a special study of anatomy while
teaching school, and when, shortly after her
marriage, her husband was required to take
a state examination in that subject in order
to secure license, Mrs. Dudley not only
coached him most successfully, but secured
a license herself, and now assists her hus-
band by specially caring for women and
children.
