MATCHED IN POLAR WINTER
Bird of the Antarctic Region Which
Has But Recently Become
Known

DR.. E. F. Wilson's lecture at the
Royal Institution on the emperor pen
guin was illustrated by skins, eggs and
a number of lantern pictures of the
birds and their rookeries, reports the
London Telegraph of recent date.
This fine species, larger than the
king penguin, which has been eXhib-
tied in the Geological gardens, was
discovered during Capt. Cooks second
expedition, but until the return re-
Gently of the Antarcic expedition,
nothing was known of its life history
or habits The curious thing is that
the birds are hatched in the depth Of
the Polar winter.
A single egg is laid, which is brood
ed between the birds feet and the soft
plumage of the body. The chick is
clothed in grayish white down, which
is moulted after five months, and
when about year and half old the
immature plumage is exchanged for
that Of the adult. One young bird was
taken on board the Discovery and kept
alive for five months.

Burglar.

Mr.. Hillyer was heavy sleeper. He
was a man, also, with chronic fear
of burglars. 1t was these two things
that led him to have the window of his
sleeping room equipped with burglar
alarm of the latest and most approved
description, relates Youths Compan-
ion.
A few mornings after the device had
been installed he came down to break
fact with grin on his face.

said II dreamed that burglar raised
my window and the alarm went off, but
he didn't seem to mind it. He rum

watch and pocketbook, and slipped out
the way he came in. BY the way he
added, 81 forgot to bring down my watch
and pocketbook. I'll go and get them,
He went upstairs and returned in a
moment with an entirely different look
ON his face. The watch and pocket

Chances for Recovery in Surgical
Operations of Long Duration
Are Small

Time saving is one of the most impor
tant considerations in all surgery. Any
major operation lasting more than an
hour and half entails an additional
risk; in operations of long duration the
chances of recovery are comparatively
small, says McClure's Magazine This is
due to shock, to the cumulative effect of
the anaesthetic, to loss of blood and to
lowering of the patients temperature
by the exposure of internal areas to the
air. Because of this the best surgeons
work with mechanical precision and
economy of movement. Everything is
ready before the operation commences;
an assistant is at hand to look after the
details of actual work, such as holding
back the edges of the incision, adjust
ing the ligatures, ETC.; an expert in an
aesthesia handles the chloroform and
watches the subjects pulse and respira-
ton, in order that the operators time
may be devoted wholly to one point, and
deft nurse, adept in the use of every
instrument, needle and chemical prep
aration, is at the surgeons elbow, ready
to hand out at a word-sometimes be-
fore the word-the shining implements
already filed in the order:of their prob
able use.
Two visiting surgeons at tsone of the
New York hospitals got a markedly
varying percentage of mortality in =

You see the near enchanting gleam
OF sweet success, long, long denied.
Tomorrow, when you turn to view
The work you proudly do to-day
A hundred flaws may stare at you,
But bravely you shall work away;

To give the promise. to renew
The hope that triumph still is near.

French Inventor Discovers a New

in Metals.

BY the discovery of new alloy after
much experimenting a French inventor
claims he Will be able to effect saving
of $150,000 every year in the making OF
watches alone. The great discrepancy
In the expansion of metals on heating.
says an authority has often proved n
trying experience to metal workers, and
Is further complicated by the fact that in
making alloys the change with tempera-
ture is often found to be quite different
from mere average of the constituent
metals. But in the new alloy, a compo-
sition Of nickel and iron, containing 35
per cent of the former, the expansion
under heat is barely more than quartz,
which is almost immeasurably small
Already it has found favor with the
instruments, where variations IN cli-
mate render accurate measurements
difficult. A far more general application
will be found however, in the case of
clocks and watches. Regulation of the
swing of the pendulum under the varia-
tons of summer and winter temperature
is usually made by arranging a strip of
some highly expansible metal to in
crease upwards from the bob on heating,
SO keeping the length constant While
this proves satisfactory, the new alloy
promises to relieve the difficulty in

Horses, Shoes Get Hot.

Popular Mechanics says that a horse
shod with metal shoes should not be
driven rapidly on an asphalt pave
ment. The heat produced is painful to
the animal and may be injurious. 1t
cites an instance where two men in
dulged in a friendly horse race on
asphalt. One of the horses cast shoe
and when the rider picked it up it
blistered his hand and did not cool Off
for several minutes. At each step the
horse slips a little and this constant
friction of the metal shoe under
weight upon the sand in the pavement
generates high degree of heat.

TO DESTROY WILD CARROTS
Legislation in Massachusetts, for the
determination of Noxious
Plants.

A bill is pending in the Massachusetts
legislature to prevent the spread of wild
carrots Or parsnips 1t provides that
every person or corporation owning
lands within the state shall cut down Or
otherwise destroy all wild carrots grow
ing thereon, or growing in the high
ways adjoining the land, on pain Of a
fine for every day of neglect. This,
says the Portland (Me.) Press, is a
matter which should receive attention
In other states. The weed in question
is comparatively new in these parts.
1t is but a few years siAhe it's appear
ance in any quantitySMas noticed, but
already it has spreadthrough many
parts of the state and infests the mow-

body's. While many farmers keep
their land free from the pest to great
extent, their efforts are of little use
so long as careless and lazy neighbors
allow the weeds to flourish and go to
seed unrestrained, and so long as the
highways remain the nursery and
breeding ground for them. 1t is an
easy plant to eradicate, if the proper
measures are taken as moving or pull
ing up by the roots before it goes to
seed. If allowed to mature, it bears a
feathery tuft of seed and these, pro-
truding above the snow, are whipped by
the wind and blown in every direction to
spring up the next summer The only
way to get rid of it is by concerted ac-
ton, and the only way to secure such
action appears to be by some such meth
cd as proposed in Massachusetts. 1t
should be the duty of the towns to keep
the public places clear of noxious plants,

Judge Cites Chevy Chase Organization

Special Dispatch TO The Star
ROCKVILLE. Md. November 14-Ac-
cordins to decision rendered this morning
by Judge Henderson in the circuit court at
this place the Chevy Chase Club at Chevy
Chase. this county. wifi have TO face trial
on an indictment charging violation of the
local option law of the county.
It will be remembered that several
months ago the. Chevy Chase Club was
raided by county officers and a large guam
tity of liquid refreshments connscated
Upon the evidence procured by these Of
hcerS an indictment was found. The trial
of the case was delayed by the fact that
Messrs. A. S. Worthington and Arthur
Peter, attorneys for the club, filed a plea
to the jurisdiction of the court, contend
ing that the. circuit court for this county
did not have jurisdiction in criminal cases
over foreign corporations. State Attorney
Robert b. Peter demurred to the plea and
Judge Hendersons decision is on this de-
murrer
According to Judge Henderson the plea
TO the jurisdiction Is in effect demurrer TO
the indictment. He holds that a foreign
corporation doing business in this state can
be held responsible to the civil authorities
and can be indicted and is indictable for
an tnfraction of any police regulation OF
the state. The.decislon further holds that
the demurrer TO the plea to the Jurisdiction
is good and the plea is stricken out. The
case against the club will probably be tried
at the term OF court now In session here.

The Sufferings of the Jews
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
While reluctant to speak without defnite
prospect of results I would have It known
that my soul is deeply moved by the calam-
tiles which have again fallen upon MANY
members of the Hebrew race and that. too.
at the hands of people who, having
called themselves by the name OF Christ.
nevertheless a times find 1t easy to tram
pie his divinest precepts under their feet
ana TO glory In deeds Of cruelty at which
Satan himself might revolt
1t is not only chief part of the invaders
religious faith, but an accepted teaching
or history that mankind owes more to the
Hebrews than TO any other people who ever
lived. 1t is also an acknowledged fact that.
IN whatever part of the world they have
lived, and in whatsoever time they have
been conspicuous for their intelligence
self-supporting industry business thrift
obedience to the law, regard for the So
cial good and loyalty to the national wei
fare.
And yet for nearly twenty centuries the
so-called Christian people of every cline
and country, regardless of Christ's doctrine
of brotherly love, and wholly forgetfuI of
the numberleSs martyrs whom they them
selves have sacrificed on account of differ
ences In faith called religious, have wick
eddy kept this worthy people under the
ban of a prejudice as doggediy persistent
as absurd. and ofttimes as brutal as per
slstent.
What does that we call Christianity
amount to II 1t be not Christian, IL able
to move the leading forces of a people to a
practical recognition of the divine teach
ings of the Jewish Nazarene?
Why should not the churches of every
other land. whether Roman, Protestant. or
oriental In this present crisis urge upon
the church of Russia Its solemn duty? And
why should not the governments OF the
world. especially those that would be
known as Christian. feel justified in caus-
ing 1t to be understood by all that the
honor and full advantage of a recognized
place In the brotherhood of nations by any
power will henceforth be dependent on the
maintenance among its people of principles
and relationships justly regarded as hu-
man?
Such an advance In civilization would be
easy If all who claim to love their fellow
men would labor for It. And SO would
there be an early end OF war II the leading
nations Of the world would firmly estab-
lish the high international court OF arbi-
tratlon, Of which a beginning has been
made. and give to it SO great and solemn
sanction that any nation falling to ap-
peal to it for justice to abide by its
decision would thereby incur loss of its
relationships, both civil and commercial.
with the other nations. If not indeed, a
complete thwarting of its plans by the re-
stralning power of all.
