JEWELLERS WELCOME
AMERICAN TOURISTS
Special Gable to The Herald.

LONDON, June -Four separate
small parties of American visitors
strolled up Bond street in the rain a
few days ago and in two hours spent
in various shops little more than a
thousand pounds.
"They come out to see the things in
the shops. and they come out to buy" !"
said a we'll known Bond street jeweler
upon whom some of the Americans had
called. "They like to take London pres
ents back to their friends. Then, again,
man staying here with his wife and
daughters likes to buy them something
on the spot. Jeweled watches and
brooches are among the most faVorite
things. A necklace of pearls running
into many hundreds is no uncommon
purchase. But they like diamonds best
of all. Americans are very fond of
diamonds from London. They think
they get a better assortment here.
1.-THE American rush during the sum-
mer months is an important matter for
the jewel trade. 1t increases the taxi

MAY A HEN CROSS
TIE ROAD? ASKS JUDGE
ipecial Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, June HAS a hen the
right to cross road?
This question, probably the most inn
portant since the famous problem of the
hens reason for crossing the road, was
gravely considered yesterday in the
kings bench division by Justice Philli-
more and Justice Bray.s The judges
lodged the decision, however, and left
the question, one of great interest TO all
cyclists, still open.
Mr. Hadwel of Birmingham was
cycling recently along a country road.
A hen belonging to Mr.. Righton flew
across the road and into the Cyclists
front wheel and upset him. The bicycle
was smashed, and Mr.. Hadwell sued
the owner of the hen.
The Judge in the Birmingham county
court decided that the hen was entitled
to cross the road, and that as there
was no evidence that it was in the habit
of maliciously upsetting cyclists, Mr..
Righton was not responsible for the
damage it did
Mr.. Hadwell appealed, and the two
Judges in the kings bench division us
tened to arguments of several learned
counsel for two days-and then they
lodged the issue. They announced yes
terday that it was not necessary In TINS
case to decide what the hens rights
were. because Mr.. Righton's hen was
chased by a dog. If any damage was
done the dog would, therefore, be re-
sponsible. .,..a,.
The responsibility of a hen which
knocks over a cyclist on its own account
is, therefore, still undecided.

LONG TRIP IN EUROPE AND
AFRICA IN AUTO FINISHED
,pecial Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, June 1.-George c. Tyler, the
theatrical manager, arrived in Paris
today after an automobile trip which
began March 23, and which has taken
him over some 10000 kilometers of
European and African territory. The
first part of the tour, which was made
in an open car, was through Italy and
Sicily, a circuit being made of that
island, which is not often done by
automobilists and which Mr.. Tyler does
not very strongly recommend other
people to try.
From Palermo the car was shipped
to Constantine, Algeria, and from this
moment the tour was exceptionally en-
joyable. Algeria and Tunis, in Mr..
Tyler's opinion, are ideal lands for win
ter or early spring automobiling. The
roads are as perfect as in France. The
hotels are good, well kept, and suffi-
GENTLY numerous. The travler can find
a smooth macadam road leading from
any port right to the desert, which Mr..
Tyler found such an impressive spec
tacle that, one evening, at Biskra, he
and the two friends with him sat for
upward of an hour without exchanging
word, gazing at the apparently limit
less sea of sand.
