PRAISES EVE FOR
EATING THE APPLE
Woman Professor Jnstifies
Conduct of Mother of
Human Race

After patient wait of some thou~

race. was justified by her own sex yes
terday and received praise for her con-
duct in regard to the much discussed
apple. DIR. Jessica Peixotto, assistant
professor of sociology at the state uni

was enthusiastically applauded by the
women of the California club.

position in life as far hack as Genesis
itself" said DR.. PeiXotto. who was ad-
dressing the members of the club on
woman's attitude toward the world and
it's work.
In the story OF the tree of knowI-
edge Ewes conduct has long been called
insufferably curious, rebellious and dis
obedient. But we of this day are be-
ginning to put a new Interpretation
upon what Eve did and to feel that the

ADMIRAL APPROVES BAY
Points Out Good Features of the
Fleets Present Anchorage

MAGDALENA BAY, Lower CaIifor-
MIA. March 13, via San Diego, Cal,
March 17.-Rear Admiral Evans sat for
several hours enjoying the semitropical
sun today in an arm chair placed on the
after bridge of his flagship, the Connec-
ticut, gazing out over the broad waters
of the bay and admiring the wonderful
advantages of this out of the way har-
Dor. He pointed out its merits as a ma
val base in detail and regretted that its
counterpart was not located along the
southwestern shores of the United
States.
1T would be great thing for us!" he
exclaimed. What fine place for our
purposes! Deep water, high surround
ing hills and deserted shores, which
permit of any range of target prac-
tice'
AS the admiral was speaking the
Georgia, Admiral Emory's flagship of
the second division Of the first squad
ron, steamed within the anchorage ra-
dius of the fleet, returning from the
target range. She came at rapid speed
between the ships. making her way to
the head of the division on the star
board bow of the Connecticut. The ad-
miral watched the vessel for moment,
then turned half way in his chair and
spoke some orders to member of his
staff. Immediately there was stirring
activity on the bridge, with half a
dozen officers moving with energy and
swiftness to execute the laconic order
of the commander in chief.
Meantime the Georgia had moved
into her allotted position. the anchors
had been let go, the chains had ratified
through the starboard port hole and
she had come to stop directly In line
with the other vessels.
Well done, Georgia, the admiral

.SPFRRY TO BRING
FLEET HOME AGAIN
Evans Will Step Down at Own
Request After Review in
San Francisco Bay

WASHINGTON, March 17.--Rear Ad-
miral Charles s. SperTy will be COM
mander in chief of the Atlantic battle
ship fleet when it leaves San Francisco
in July to encircle the globe. This i'm
portant detail was decided on by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his cabinet today.
Rear Admiral Evans at his own re-
quest will be relieved of the command
at the conclusion of the big naval re-
view at San Francisco May s. The ad-
miral considers this the completion of
the work he was assigned to do-take
the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific coast
Admiral Evans will retire in August.
To Rear Admiral Thomas comes the
honor of commanding the fleet on its
visit to Puget sound and until the
homeward journey begins. He has
been second in command during the
voyage and will retire in October.
These retirements make possible two
promotions to the grade of rear adj
miral and these are to be filled by the
advancement of Captain Seaton Schroe-
der and Captain Richard Wainwright
who will command respectively the
third and fourth squadrons of the fleet
and Rear Admiral Emory the second.
During the war with Spain Admiral
Sperry was equipment officer in the
New York navy yard. Afterward he
was given command of the Yorktown
in Philippine waters and directed the
movements of the landing party on the
eastern shore of LuZon, which was re-
garded as one of the most thrilling ad-
ventures in the. campaign against
Aguinaldo.
As one of the officers under Admira1
Walker, Sperry helped to make sue
cessful the picturesque voyage of the
white squadron which visited Europe
and South America in 1891-93. Ad-
miral Sperry was sent to the las1
Hague conference as one of the Ameri-
can delegates. Returning from The
Hague he was given sea duty and as
signed to command the fourth division

The Size Of Great Men.

The Iron Duke has always been a
mystery. l have read that he was Six
feet four inches tall. l have read also
that he was only five feet six inches.
Historians tell US he was anywhere
from five feet six inches to five feet,
eleven inches. There are some things
seemingly very simple which it is i'm
possible to establish. This is one Of
them Historians are still guessing the
height of Julius Caesar, the size OF
Hannibal's head, the weight of Alex
ander the Great and the general di-
mensions Of Solomon. Why. we are not
even sure of the stature of George
Washington. 1t might be believed that
Napoleon. Alexander the Great and
Jay Gould were of the same size, three
bumptious little chaps. And it is COM
mon belief that Charlemagne, Erling
the Bold. Frederick the Great, Robert
Bruce. Sir William Wallace, General
Winfield Scott and Richard Occur de
Lion were all top notchers, "Old Fuss
and Feathers" formed in the prodigal-
ity Of nature. leading in girth and
weight.-New York Press.

Thu Loft Twin.

The survivor Of twins is sometimes
credited with curious powers. In folk.
lore lie takes his place with the sew
enth son and with the child born with
caul. All these are supposed to have
either specia! powers Of healing or In
some cases to be gifted with the mys-
FERROUS power Of second sight. "In
Essex, England" says w. G. Black in
his boo: Oh Polk Medicine" IA child
known famiiiarly rs left twin. e.,
a child who has survived its fellow
twin-is Thought to have the power of
curing the thrush by blowing three
times into the patients mouth if the
patient is of the opposite SEX" This is
folklore, pure and simple. Another
country notion generally held is that
If twins are boy and girl the latter
VIII never become mother. The
physiology of the subject is obscure,
but there is probably ground for the
belief. Another idea not infreuuently
met with is that the intelligence Of
twins is below the average. 1t is al
ways difficult to prove IL negative, but
1t is Very doubtful whether facts SUP.
port this notion of limited intelligence
to any extent whatever. 1t is much
more probable that their physical
strength is likely to he something less
than normal.

Landseer's Persistent Wooer.

Charles Landseer was brother Of
Sir Edwin land for some years." says
the writer of Leaves From a Life"
twas the victim of the most extraordi.
nary persecution that l should think
any man ever met with. An eccentric
woman fell desperately in love with
him and used to poster him first with
the most extravagant love letters and
then by lying in wait for him when
ever he left the house. Finally she
issued invitations to the wedding, pre-
pared breakfast and an enormous cake
and called for poor Mr.. Landseer in a
carriage and pair, the horses decked
out with white satin streamers and she
herself dressed most gorgeously as a
bride. But that was the end of the per-
secution. Her friends took her away,
and Mr.. Landseer remained a bachelor
