New Light on Heredity,

More than 5000 doctors of Holland
have carried on cor a long time a series
of observations bearing on the laws of
heredity and the results are now publish
ed by two of their number, Heymans and
Weirsma. They find that the ability to
coordinate thought and give expression to
it rapidly in most cases comes from the
father. Forty-four per cent of the sons
of automatically minded men inherited
the love of scientific pursuits, while only
IA per cent of the daughters of such did
likewise. The gift of clever talk and of
self-criticism came from the father. So

to Cease Collecting Money.
The American Salvation Army has been
notified to stop work in Pittsburg. The
permit required by the police department
for all such organizations was taken
away, and the officers of the army were
told that if they attempted to continue
work there they would be arrested. This
action was taken after a two weeks in
vestigation, made personally by Inspector
BARLEY of the first precinct, under orders
from Superintendent McQuaide. The po-
lice declare that while members of the
army collect large sums of money they
can give no satisfactory account as tc
what becomes of it. The matter was
brought to a climax, however, over the
case of Mary Milburn, is years old, who
is member of the army and who collect
ed among the downtown saloons often I'M

to stop, but she refused, declaring that
she collected from So to IS a day, and,
