London, July 5.-No news from Dr.
Sven Hedin, who is on his third expe-
dition to Central Asia, has reached
here for many months. He was last
heard from in the latter part of July,
1907, when he arrived at the Mansaro-
war lake. Up to that time DIR. Hedin
had fully equalled his previous achieve
ments. He first crossed one of the least
known parts Of Central Tibet from
north to south, arriving at Shigatse,
on the Sanpo or Upper Brahmaputra,
in the early part of 1907, and after
ward carried out an important journey
to the west, exploring the northern
tributaries of the Sanpo and the great
range separating this from the indie
pendent lake basins to the north, some
of which were also examined for the
first time.

An Original Oath Of Allegiance.
In the old days when the Spanish
province Of Aragon was a proud and
independent monarchy the people used
when choosing their king the following
singular form of election:
I'VE. the freeborn Inhabitants of the
ancient kingdom Of Aragon, who are
equal to you, Don Philip. and some
thing more, elect you to be our king
on condition that you preserve to us
our rights and privileges. If in this
you should fail we own you for our
king no longer"

Weisht Of Lion.

What does Il lion weigh? Those who
know the look of the king of beasts
best and how small his little body
really Is will probably come farthest
from the truth. About 300 to $50
pounds is a usual estimate, but full
grown lion will tip the scales at no
less than 500 pounds. Five hun
dred and forty pounds is the record for
an African lion. His bone 10 solid and
heavy az ivory. The tiger runs the
lion very close. A Bengal tiger killed
by an English officer scaled $50 pounds.
A tiger this size has, however, con.
siderably more muscular strength than
the biggest lion.

. RAILROAD MANS VIEWS.

Melville E. ingalls,. chairman Of the
board of the Big -Four railroad. is an
advocate of the profit sharing plan
between Employers and employees as a
Danacea for industrial troubles. Mr..
ingalls, is not prepared to say just
what plan would give the best re-
suits. but one method he advocates
is for the railroad companies
and large corporations to take the
cost of the property, then the amount
of wages paid, and, after the wages
are paid and the interest on the prop
erty is paid, to divide the balance
among the employees in proportion OF
the earning power Of each as told in
his wages. The good effect OF the in.
stailation Of such a plan he holds is
manifold. The employee becomes more
careful of mis- own account, strikes
are eliminated, while labor agitators
are bowled over by the advance in
popularity OF this mild plan of prac-
tical socialism.
Trade agreements. Mr.. ingalls, adj
mits are an acknowledgment of the
rights and obligations of the workers,
but he says, capital owes it's labor
more than a mere bow. The profit
sharing plan, he believes, is a warm,
friendly o~utstretched hand and is
going to supplant the trade agree.
ment. Make every man your
partner he concludes, and then
there is the perfect relation We should
have between employer and employee.

a FINISH.

Its a quiet day these times when
President Roosevelt does not figure in
some new sensation. There is no
Stacking of the pace as the end of the
strenuous executives administration
draws near. Just now the president is
sitting back after his latest appear
ance in the arena and is waiting for
the heads he has hit to bob up again.
There is a suspicion lurking, too, that
the president will have a new club
ready when the heads : get within
reach.
There was the presidents reference
to the editors of the New York Sun
and Indianapolis News and his
scourging of Publisher Pulitzer OF the
World when he was drawn into the
controversy. Pulitzer is back with a
spirited rejoinder and meanwhile the
senate is preparing to investigate 4
part of the presidents message rela.
tive to congressional interference with
the work Of the secret service, and 70
investigate another part of the mess
age referring to the Brownsville case.

even the king of England would have
to quit the throne if he went to the
Roosevelt limit, but it is plain that
the Rooseveltian critics are trying to
keep out or range Of the big stick
when they make their talks.
President Roosevelt has organized
an Ananian club and has stocked it

tackled before, but usually he has had
the last word. Most people will wait
until they see just what the president
has concealed up his sleeve before
they venture the opinion that the pres
ident will come out second best in any
of his latest battles now pending. On
past performances he is easily the one
best bet and his hackers will continue
to play him as the favorite until a head
is found that he can't crack.

popuLARlzIne PSYCHOLOGY.

Thus far the study of psychology
has been confined largely to the high
brows. Most of US have heard sona-
tthing about it, just as we have heard
sof archaeology and several other
glogies, without being moved out of
sle whats the use" frame of mind.
ow, however, Professor Hugo Muen-
terberg, the Harvard psychologist,
gas made the matter a little clearer.
He says, for instance, that applied
psychology could determine who would
play a good game Of poker. The pro-
fessor did not elucidate, as he evident
ly did not feel the need of Tossing UP
to the extent Of his knowledge Of the
game. He rather implied, though. that
psychologist, sitting in a game,
would know when innocentIy sizing up
his flush whether his opponents con-
fident expression indicated that he
had a full to beat or just a measly
straight, OF a punk set Of threes.
II the professor just goes a little
further in his efforts to popularizec
psychology, he will make it the popu-
lar Preside study. If a little delving
into the pschyics would put Mary wise
to the fact that John is about to pop
the question, she would have time 70
prepare herself for the proper look of
surprise. and she would know just
when the psychological moment arriv-
ed to give Brother Johnny a dime and
get him out of the Right at

psychic size up and learn that Mabel
only intended to give her a box Of
fudge for Christmas. Grace could
then give that hand painted dish to

enues of pleasure and profit opened up
