AUSTRIAN EXPLORER REPORTS
DR.. Erich Zugmayer Has Reached
KRshmir from Long Trip
Through Thlbet.

VIENNA, Jan. l2-(Speclal.) )-Dr. Erich
Zugmayer, the Austrian explorer, has, ac-
cording to all accounts, advanced to Leh,
in Kashmir from an entirely unknown
region of Thibet.
The explorer has written that he is
highly satisfied with the scientific results
of the journey. Among the geological
specimens he has secured are twenty new
species and fifty new groups of animals.
Eventually he reached an altitude of 10000
feet. Surrounded by ice-filled gorges and
amid frequent snowstorms the expedition
was Obliged to camp and consider an alter
ation of the route.
DR.. zugmayer's chief guide, disguised as
Ladakh trader, was dispatched in search
Of nomad tribes. from whom he might
purchase fresh animals, but the supply
thus secured, after great trouble. was en-
tirely inadequate for the needs of the ex-
peditlon, the baggage train of which had
dwindled from sixty to twenty-five animals.
A further attempt to advance in the direc-
ton originally decided upon had to be
abandoned.
After relieving the caravan OF all but
the most important baggage DR.. Zugmayer
put his valuable collection OF specimens
In a place of safety and turned westward
in order to make a shorter journey to
Kashmir. The expedition passed Rudok
and the Panggong lakes through unknown
country and eventually crossed the from
tier into Kashmir.
On his arrival at Leh, DR.. Zugmayer had
only twelve transport animals left, all the
others having fallen victims to exhaustion
and climate. The members Of the expedi-
tion, however. were in the best of health.

SEA TUNNEL THREATENS NAVY
Colonel Fits George says the Channel
should he Sailed, Not
Undermined.

LONDON. Jan. 12.-(special) )-Colonel c.
F1tz George Cretlred) is opposed to the
channel tunnel scheme. In a recent inter-
Wow he said:
When the late Sir Edward watkin was
endeavoring to get the permission Of Par
lament to continue the borlngs for the
channel tunnel that had been commenced
close to the Southeastern railway line the
late duke of Cambridge. the then COM
mander-in-chief. backed by the opinions
Of his military stan. expressed himself
as extremely adverse to the sanction Of
Parliament being granted. He held the
opinion that the necessary passage Of the
sea by an enemy and the publicity that
must result from any attempt on their part
20 collect the required transport saved
the nation from the necessity for con-
scription and for a much larger standing
army. The real danger in case Of its
being bored would lie not in any army
OF magnitude being risked in its interior
but in the seizing of the British exit by a
coup de MAN, after which any occupation
could easily be made effective.
THE measures that might be taken
either to flood or to destroy the tunnel by
scientific action would have to be en-
trusted to the discretion OF one officer
responsibility. as enforced reference to the
cabinet in London would cause delay that
would paralyze defensive action until too
late
THE duke of Cambridge did not believe
that any one would take the responsibility
Of destroying such a work without making
inquiry into the facts such as would make
his action too late.
The construction OF the tunnel would
also be a blow to our oversee carrying
trade and reduce the value of our navy
1t would tend to an atrophy of the other
southern lines of railway, doing away with
their rivalry, and would tend to throw the
bulk of the goods traffic on the Northern
railway of France, a line already ham
pered with goods which line might at any
time fail to act efficiently as common car
rier. The present system of channel rivalry
provides several routes at low rates to
the continent. and so facilitates mail and
carrying contracts at low rates"

FIGHT ON SENATOR BAILEY
Opponents of Texas Democratic
Leader Say They Have Majority
Against His Reelection.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 12.-The suggested
Bailey investigation consumed the entire
session of the Texas legislature today and
bids fair to continue we'll into Monday
without any vote being secured.
The anti-Bailey faction claims a victory
up to now and assert that they will make
even more gains. The basis of this predic-
tion is that their opponents have ignored
their original defense and are now offering
a substitute proposition to have a special
committee to decide whether an investiga-
tion should be held.
Today's session was given over to a
discussion of the proposed investigation,
and when adjournment was held late in
the evening but one side of the controversy
had been presented *
Representative Duncan of Smith county,
the leader of the anti-Bailey forces, was
the only speaker. The contention of the
friends of Bailey will be presented Monday.
United States Senator Joseph w. Bailey
tonight gave out the following statement:
There is not a semblance of truth in the
statement that my friends are seeking
either to prevent or TO delay an investiga-
tion. l am more than ready to meet any
charge that any responsible man may
make against me, but do not believe that
senator from Texas ought to be required
to answer indefinite. nebulous and anany-

a senator from Texas, and the fact that my

Goodbye, EaellA.

Within the last few years Z rsvolu-
ton has been accomplished at Oxford
which ought really to affect the mind
OF the nation more than the difference
between Lord Curzon and Lord Rose
berry. A textbook has been discarded
which was already venerable for ito an
tiquity at the beginning of the Chris
tian era. Needless to say, We are re-
ferrins to Euclid's "Elements." For
what other textbook ever had such q
run as that7 1t has been accepted ever
since Its publication. which was In the
reign Of the first Ptolemy (B. G. 1928
1851. No writer has ever become 20
identified with a science as Euclid with
geometry. The nearest approaches are
to be found In the relation of Aristotle
to logic and Of Adam Smith to politl-
cal economy.-London Spectator.

TRANSATLANTIC A HUGE TREE.

Ysw That May Ne TOO Years old
Moved . Mile and . Quarter.
Perhaps the most ambitious attempt
at transportation on record has lust
been made at Frankfort on the Main,
Germany, and the results are being
eagerly watched BY botanists, says the
New York Sun. The oldest yew tree in
Germany, perhaps in the world, has
bsen removed from the old Botanical
garden, which the municipality il about
to use for some other purpose, to the
new one. The distance traverssd was
about a mile and q quarter.
The tree was moved not on account
Of any special scientific value. but for
sentimental reasons. Its age IL esti-
mated BY some authorities at 700 years,
and 1t seemed a sort Of sacrilege to cut
It down without an effort to save It.
Preparations for the removal were
begun three years ago under direction
of expert botanists. The principal op-
Grafton was the clipping of of the ten.
drills Of the foots to a radius of about
six feet This was gradually done, q
few at a time, SO that the tree might
accustom itself to their loss. About the
end of last May the colossal task OF
lifting the tree from its bed and placing
It on q huge wagon constructed for the
purpose was begun.
A sort of crate was built about the

THE DESERTED SANDWICH,

II Had the Fatal Gift Of Beauty and
1t Was Coveted By Many.
"Don't leave your sandwich up there
on the advertising boards" said Tom
my's mother; ''the train will come
along soon and you will forget It,"
But Tommy did not heed the warn
Ing, the train came and went away
with Tommy and his mother and the
others. bound for Coney Island. and
tho sandwich remained. says the New
York Sun.
1t was a remarkably neat package
for sandwich. Lying there on top Of
the advertising boards 1t looked as II
1t had been done up BY jeweler, 30
rectangular was 1t and 50 precisely
were the ends Of the wrapper folded
over.
An elderly man stood near by read
Ing his newspaper. He had heard the
talk about the sandwich and he noted
that the event had turned out az Tom
my's mother had predicted.
A young girl came up the stairs and
walked along the platform. She saw
the neat package and looked from 1t
toward the man. He drew a step near
er to It, glanced at 1t as II to assure
himself that it was still there, and re-
sumed reading his paper,
Several passengers alighted from the
next train, and as they passed the
sandwich most of them saw 1t and the
man and tried to decide whether 1t be-
longed to him. One young fellow stroll
ed back, after going as far as the door
of the waiting room, and walked slowly
up and down the platform.
The elderly man stepped to the edge
Of the platform and looked along the
track, as II to see whether the train
was coming. Just as he turned to take
his former position he saw the young
man lingering close to the sandwich.
He cleared his throat with a loud
"Aheml" and rested his arm on the ad-
vertlsing boards few feet away from
the package. The young man took the
next train that came along.
A large woman rugged out in clothes
that she evidently thought we're just
the thing hurried up the stairs and was
rushing toward the train that had just
come IN. Her eye caught the package,
with its jewelry store appearance, and
she did not enter the train.
She looked up and down the track
and glanced toward the sandwich, and
from 1t toward the man. lie folded
bis paper, put his reading glasses In
his pocket and again stepped to the edge
Of the platform and looked along the
rails.
The woman eyed him and the pack
age alternately. The roar Of a train
was heard. As 1t slowed down the
man. all unmindful of the package, hur-
ried toward one of the car gateA The
man stood on the car platform a. the
train moved out.
BY leaning outward ~ the train
rushed away he could watch the pack
age long enough to ses the large wom-
an grab It from the top Of the sign
boards, thrust 1t under her summer
wrap and hurry down the platform
stairs faster than she came up. Quite
naturally he smiled.
