POLICY HOLDERS

Chairman Armstrong Declares that the
Policy Holders of the Life Insurance

New York, Nov. Ex-senator Arm

TO investigate life insurance, issued a
Thanksgiving greeting today to policy.
holders advising them not to lapse.
The address follows:
Il am asked for brief message to
policyholders on the even of our ad.
journment for the month and am glad
to make this suggestion:
DO not allow your policies to lapse
on account of anything revealed by tais
investigation -
"Policyholders are in a better posi-
ton now than before the investigation
began and their position ought to
strongly improve as our inquiry pro.
ceeds
Eve will undoubtedly safeguard and
strengthen the rights of policyholders
but those who suffer their policies to
lapse will lose the benefit Of what has
been done already as we'll as what we
hope to accomplish.
mo sacrifice now ought to be made
by policyholders, and patience and
courage for short time yet will not
only prevent loss, but enable this com
mittee to render the best service to the
greatest number"

Bird
Language

The Oriental stories Of the wise men
who understood the language Of birds
are a type or prehgrring Of certain in
yestigations which are now being car
ried on by men of science in the United
States and elsewhere Prof Nelson r.
Wood, Of the National Museum at
Washington, has made an informal re-
port on this subject which is inter-
esting. He declares that researches are
in progress which, in the near future,
will greatly enlarge our knowledge of
the language Of birds, and will pre-
sent proof Of the remarkable elabora-
ton and detail of some of these bird
Languages" These are not Tan
guages" in the ordinary human sense
that they are developed into words
more or less monotonously spoken, and
depending on the alienation Of conso-
nants and vowels for their definition;
but by a great many and various
sounds the birds express a considerable
number of different feelings, and their
calls and cries are always understood,
and if there is occasion, Needed by
other birds. These feelings include
alarm, love, jealousy, contentment,
pain and pleasure. Prof. Wood asserts
that the common crow has yoeabu-
larry more expressive and of wider
range than that of many of the finest
song birds. And the American wild
turkey affords one Of the best illustra-
tions OF the versatility of bird Ian
guage. The turkey has a perfectly dis
tinguishable vocabulary of at least
dozen words. Its constant peril from
half dozen sources, overhead and
underfoot, has rendered it necessary
that it shall possess a special call or
alarm for each Of these perils. For
danger from overhead, as from hawk
or an eagle, the turkey has low note,
we'll drawn oui, which cautions every
member OF flock. For immediate
danger it gives an entirely different

only fifty-six pages in It, but they

detail as to make the story hard to

IBARRErA,s FATE.


Relies OF Explorer and His CcnraaqA

1893. that Senior Enrique Ibarreta and
his men had mysteriously disappeared
while exploring the Pilcomayo River,
in north Argentina, one Of the longest

they have been massacred by the In

defeated the attempts made by con-

plore this stream. A little later the
bare fact was published that there
was no longer any doubt Of the mas

the tragedy had been obtained Then
a report reached Buenos Ayres that
sbarreta and a part OF his expedition
were. probably still alive. This report
led to the sending of an expedition

Gently returned TO Buenos Ayres with
evidence that leaves no doubt that the

Indians OF the northern part Of Ar

forests, near place called Esteros de
Patino, Uriarte found the camp Of
lbarreta Strewn all around were the
camp utensils and equipment, most OF
1t rendered useless by the weapons of
the Indians, who had destroyed prac-
tically everything which they could
not utilize. Even the voluminous
notes which IbArreta had made upon
the work he was doing from day to
day were torn to pieces and scattered
to the winds A considerable number
of these fragments were recovered and
they supplied undoubted proof of hav-
