Queer Positions Of Hearts.

There is one curious fact which net
everybody notices about the common,
finger long, green eaterp!llars Of our
larger moths Their hearts, instead OF
being In front, are at the back OF the
body and extend along the entire
length Of the animal. One can see the
heart distinctly through the thin skin
and can watch its slow beat, which
starts at the tail and moves forward to
the head. Hearts Of this sort reaching
from head to tail are not at all uncom,
mon In the simpler creatures. The
earthworm has one, and so have most
worms, caterpillars and other crawling
things Hearts in the middle of the
back also are quite as frequent a.
those in what seems to us to be the
natural place. Many animals, the lob
ster for example. and the crarfsh and
the crab. Which have short hearts Ike
those Of the beasts and birds. never
theless have them placed just unde.
the shell In what, in ourselves, would
be the small of the back.-St. Nicholas

The celebration Of New Years i,
carried on more extensively in japan

Jack Welsh has been agreed upon
clinches and this condition Is thought
is to the effect that the referee must
not put his hands on the men II they
should be in a clinch. They must step
bach at his command. This clause
was inserted at the request Of Nell
sons representative. The Dane never
clinches, and this conditin is thought
to favor him. 1t was considered Of so
much importance by Ben Selig that
he had a special conference with Cans
before he agreed that 1t be made a
part Of the articles. Nelson does his
most effective work at infighting.
hence this is expected to be in his
favor.
There is every indication that
record breaking crowd will witness
the encounter. anxious to see settled
the dispute which Nelson and his sup
porters have tried to keep up ever
since that memorable battle at Gold
field on September 3, 1906.
There has never been any doubt in
the minds of the fair ones as to the
outcome Of the struggle, for only the
prejudiced gave any consideration to
the ridiculous claims of Nelson that
he had been robbed of victory, but
the Dane and his immediate follow
ers have not missed a single opportu-
nifty to question the right of the ne
gro to the lightweight championship |
title, and repeated challenges for an
other contest have been mingled with
the numerous attempts to harm the
fistic standing of the colored man.
Now IL is all to be settled in the
ring and If the apparent form of the
two men during the past year counts
for anything the Dane is in for a
worse beating than he received at
Goldfield. and beating too, that will
leave no room for arguments in fu-
ture.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Nov. 23.-Kellogg con-
tinued the examination of John D..
Rockefeller today, and brought out the
fact that Standard Oil stock was given
in exchange in the purchase of COM
peting plants. 1t was also ascertained
that in many instances concerns were
demolished after they came into the
possession of the Standard. Kellogg
tried to establish the relation between
certain railroad officials and the
Standard, and made Rockefeller adj
NIT that the presidents of the New
York Central and the Erie railroads
and three directors of the Lake Shore
road held stock in the Standard pre-
vious to 1872 The witness then de-
veloped bad memory as regards other
railroad officials. Kellogg spent much
time in trying to fix the individual re-
sponsibility of many alleged illegal
acts of the company. 1t is believed
that this indicates that the govern
