The British Museum. London. will be
closed for six months for repairs and
cleaning. Even the scholarly may have
their superstitions, and there is a some
what pathetic one which clings to a GER
tain table in the reading-room Of the mu-
scum. 1t is known to the young ladies
who frequent the room as the 'Tabbies
Retreat" They always leave it severely
alone. and It has become a kind of unoffi-
cial abode for ladies of uncertain age in
the sere and yellow leaf. There is, in
fact a superstition that any young girl
who, by chance. sits at the Tabbies Re
treat, is doomed TO remain single. But
where will many literary tabbies seek a
retreat now that their pet room is to be
closed for a long six months? They will
be spring and summer months. however,
so the shabby genteel middle-aged ladies
can go sit In the parks. for there is d sad
suspicion that these poor old tabbies fire.
Quent the museum reading-room more to
warm their benumbed fingers and toes
rather than to feed their minds.

JAP FLEET TO
VISIT ROADS
ABANDONMENT OF FRISCO TRIP
is NOT SIGNIFICANT

The announcement that the gov
eminent OF Toxic will not permit the
Japanese squadron to visit the IA
cifc coast, as had been planned docs
not necessarily mean that japanese
warships will visit the jamestown
Exposition this summer.
The japanese have already ac1
cepted the invitation of the Presi-
dent to participate in the celebration
and II is believed that a fleet oil war
ebits will be sent direct to Hampton
Roads.
There was no doubt in the minds
of government officers Of the inadvis-
ability of the japanese vessels visit
ing san Francisco. In the first place
q would be difficult to entertain the
visitors because of the conditions
created by the earthquake. the
Mare Island navy yard is not In very
good shape and the town Is still n
wreck.
Then, too, officials OF the govern
ment here did not fully realize the
restrictions it would be necessary to
place upon the Japanese sailors. III
would have been necessary to limit
shore leave because of the possibility
that the sailors might be attacked in
the streets, as other Japanese have
been. If such thing happened 1t
would doubtless bring ON a critical
diplomatic incident that would be diff
ficult to handle.
