HOW TO ADVERTISE.

An unusually large number of men are volunteering for service in the United States navy, and of these an exceptional number are accepted be- cause fit. In consequence navy ofil- cials are in serene and confident mood. This recalls bit of history. Last year the bureau of navigation appropriated $50,0OO for advertising for recruits and used the money in monthlies, weeklies and dailies. This year, before deciding how to spend a similar amount, the bureau thought it best to analyze returns. It was found that recruits induced to enter the service by magazine advertise ments cost from $15 to s65 each and those from daily newspapers $3.S6 each. Therefore this years appro- priation was placed mainly with the dailies, and the results are beginning to appear.

ROCKWELL A CATHOLIC
Nephew of Two Former Governors
 Received Into Church.


 Hartford, August 2S.-The Catho- lie Transcript has the following to say of George l.. Rockwell, of Nor walk and Ridgefeld.
 On August 15, the Feast of the As- sumption, George Lounsbury Rock we'll was received in the Catholic church, and because of his promi- hence in social and political life throughout the state his reception in- to the church excited considerable publicity. MT Rockwell is the ne- phew of two former governors of Con- necticut-Phineas c. and George Lounsbury; was vestryman for years in the Episcopal church, and received many honors of the repub- lican party, of which he is the leader in his town. For years this step was anticipated by intimate friends, who could not fail to observe the course of his reading and his inclination to discuss all questions bearing on Cath ollie teachings and practices. Re- served and studious in disposition, he gave no intimation to casual acquain- tances of his changing views, and as a consequence the step he has taken excited no little surprise. Seeking to explain his motives, the state pa pers give various and, in some in- stances, ludicrous explanations, whereas the truth is that the step he has taken is the result of. years of pa tient research and study, and affords the example of a man hesitating and fearful of making mistake, but fin ally convinced and obliged to yield when reason and conscience claim the mastery.

Hay Dealers Are Frightened.

The connection between horses and hay is of course obvious: but it seems that the automobile is also becoming a very live issue with the growers and dealers in hay. This was revealed during the recent ses- sion of the National Hay Dealers convention. held at Cedar Point. O. The president of the association warned his fellow members that the market for IOw-grade hay was fast disappearing with the advent of the automobile. and that while that for high-prieed hay Is improving. a neu market for cheap hay must be found, as the result Of the inrOads made by the gasolene buggy. which. among city people. has taken the place of the hay-fed horse

SICK MAN SHUT OUT
HOSPITAL DOORS ARE CLOSED
AGAINST NEGRO IN CART.

Thomas Alexander. an old colored man
from Forestville. Md, was driven about
the city for more than six hours yesterday
by friends who wanted to get him admit
ted to hospital. according to report
made last night by the police Of the sixth
precinct.
He applied for admission to Providence
Hospital and was refused the report
states. He was then taken in wagon
to the Washington Asylum Hospital.
where he was refused admittance. He was
brought to the sixth precinct station AT
800 unconscious and was removed TO the
Casualty Hospital in the ambulance.
Nothing was known of the case at the
office Of the board of charities this morn
ing when Star reporter made inquiries:
The acting superintendent soon discovered
that the colored man was su1ering from
some supposed mental trouble. Why ne
had been refused treatment at the nos
pitfalls he said he did not know.
Hospitals are paid for all emergency
cases. but he supposed the case OF Alex
ander was not considered as such. There
Is no red tape that will prevent q SICK
man from getting treatment, 1t was ex-
planned. but the question of the nature
of the case has to be determined by the
physicians who examine the patient.
1t was stated at the Casualty Hospital
this morning that Alexander was not
hospital The physicians were told ne
was in the habit Of having spells OF some
kind. and they thought the spells were
probably due to his mental condition. This
morning the condition of the patient was
much better than when admitted.

Olympic Games Did Not Draw.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


Much surprise and considerable disap-
pointment are expressed at the failure of
the Olympic games to attract an attend
ance at all proportioned to the magnitude
Of the scale upon which the exhibition is
projected. The English public has the
reputation Of being deeply interested in all
kinds of sports, and it was expected that
the crowds to assemble at the stadium
in Shepherds Bush. where these inter-
national contests are proceeding, would
be Of record-breaking magnitude. Why
not? Within easy distance of the st stadium
is a population of between five and six
million people who are accustomed to
seek their recreation out of doors. Thou
sands Of them are to be found wherever
any amusement of the athletic or sporting
sort is to be enjoyed. At every f1rst-class
cricket match Lords or Remington Oval
is sure to be crowded to the ropes. Soc
Ger or Rugby foot ball never fails to
forty thousand, while every year when
the Derby is run or the university boat
race rowed there will be an outpouring OF
sightseers such as could nowhere else
be paralleled.
It was not unrea sonable to suppose that
the Olympic games. introduced under the
always strong recommendation OF royal
patronage and presenting the very best
In every feature included in the compre-
hensive program. would stir the sport-lov-
Ing Londoner to the highest pitch Of
pleasurabie excitement, and the only
thing the managers of the enterprise
feared was a possible inadequacy of ac-
commodation.

SNAKES Ed0 dAICA1N0.
Tip on Reptiles Shout With Which
It Breaks Its Way Out.
From the Scientific American. y

from the Sclentluc Amci1cdu.
Because Of the popular aversion to the
serpent family there is surprising
amount Of ignorance about even the SIM
plest of snake habits. II Is doubtful il
many correct answers could be given to
the question whether snakes lay eggs or
bear their young alive AS matter Of
fact, some species are viviparous and 9TH
ers oviparous. Most of the poisonous
snakes. as we'll as many Of our harmless
varieties. belong to the former class.
The European ring snake is closely al
lied to our common water snake and goes
by the scientific name Tropidonotus natrix
Curiously enough. all other members of
the genus Tropidonotus are viviparous
and this species alone lays eggs Fur
thermore, according to Gadow's Am
phibia and Reptiles the new laid eggs
usually show not the slightest visible
sign of an embryo, unless oviposition is
delayed. when the embryos are more or
less developed.
The eggs are laid in July or August in
soft bed of loan or decaying vegetation,
or in a heap Of manure. The older snakes
sometimes lay as many as a dozen eggs
or more. and they usually stick together
so that the entire cluster can be picked
up at once. Sometimes. however, If the
process of laying is slow. theN will be
separated. The eggs are about an inch
long and Of a whitish yellow color. The
shell is thin and flexible like parchment.
The young hatch in late summer or au-
tumn Before Matching they develop a
sharp calcareous growth on the tip Of the
snout known as the egg tooth. with which
the shell Is slit open. Unlike Matching
chicks which are suddenly dispossessed
~ the breaking of their brittle Shells the
young snakes make many missions in the
parchment envelopes and take many
peeps at the outside world before ventur-
ing forth into the new environment
Shortly after Matching the egg tooth is
lost.
At first the young live on insects and
worms. but within a few weeks they are
strong enough to attack and devour
young frogs Strangely enough, although
the adults are strong swimmers, and
spend much time in ponds and streams
hunting the fish and frogs on which they
subsist. the young are unable to SWIM
and they will soon drown If they fall into
the water, The European ring snake as
we'll as the American water snake. makes
an excellent pet 1t is perfectly harmless
becomes very tame, and learns to know
the difference between friends and stran-
gers. Gadow tells Of a pet ring snake
that would eat from his hand, crawl up
his coat sleeve and coil itself contentedly
on his arm.

The Poison in Tobacco Smoke.

From the New York Times.
That the element of nicotine in tobacco
can enter the blood Of the smoker to any
appreciably harmful degree physicians no
longer teach. But by far the gravest
charge yet made against the weed is by
the London Lancet, that the smoke con-
tains in large proportion the poisonous
gas. carbon monoxide. Until confuted by
equally good authority the statement Of
the Lancet must be accepted that the
fumes of an ounce of tobacco in cigarettes
contain from one pint to four pints Of this
gas while the same weight OF tobacco
smoked in pipe gives forth two and a
quarter to five pints. OF the toxicity Of
carbon monoxide no doubt exists. It Is
the chief constituent of Illuminating gas,
and is decidedly harmful in quantities. far
short OF that needed to produce asphyx-
iation. Air with so small an admiXture
as fifteen-one hundredths of 1 per cent of
the gas makes distinctly dangerous"
inhalant. and the proportion alleged to be
found in tobacco smoke would easily ac-
count for the dizziness, shortness Of
breath and palpitations experienced by
excessive smokers.
If it be demonstrated that carbon mon
oxide should be feared by smokers. 1T
ought to become profitable for the cigar
manufacturers to make brands and devise
methods that will produce the gas in
minimum quantity, while taking advan-
tage of the mellower qualities of tobacco.
Meanwhile the Lancets comparison Of
pipe and cigarette is useful in showing
that the cigarette would be less perni-
cious were ii not that the cigarette user
is more addicted to inhaling the smoke.
