LEWIS NIXON DECLARES
HIS BOATS ARE ALL RIGHT

NSW YORK, June 3.-When the at
tention of Lewis Nixon was called to
the action of the committee of the ma
val defense of Russia, as reported in
dispatch from st. Petersburg today,
he gave out the following statement:
This same statement is published
every few months. I think 1t was
started to cover up the building of a
boat in Germany which was paid for
but never built at all.
THE boats built by me fulfilled
every requirement, were tried in the
Black sea and subsequently in the Bal
tic. The minister of marine publicly
congratulated me upon their success
while standing on the deck of one of
the boats and the czar received me in
special audience later. Then, at the
end of the following season the Kron-
stadt Gazette, the official naval organ
there, published that these boats were
successful and proved the value of the
coast defense torpedo boats. To show
the character of the work, one Of these
boats crossed the Atlantic In mid
winter, feat never accomplished by
destroyers of ten times the size.
rigid tests carried on by Russian
officers showed that these vessels were
of great speed and more than double
the contract endurance and carried
more guns than demanded"

PROF. AGASSIZ BACK
FROM AFRICAN TOUR

NEW YORK, June 3-Much alu-
able information, including maps, pho
toSraphs and specimens from darkest
Africa were brought here by Professor
Alexander Agassiz of Harvard and his
son, who arrived from Europe today
on the steamer Cedric.
Professor Agassiz and his son spent
some time in Africa exploring large
range of territory of which very little
had been learned previously.
I'VE took ship to Marseilles," said
the professor, went down the Red sea
and out to Mombasa in British East
Africa. From there we journeyed inland
by railway 600 miles to the Victoria
Nyanza lakes.
There we spent six weeks. practi-
cally all of which was spent in boat
ing trips about the lake.
II did absolutely no work, but got
good rest. ] came back feeling
younger and BETTER"
His speciality is marine zoology, and
he is the recognized authority on the
subject. Back in the '70s Professor
Agassiz explored Lake Titicaca, be-
tween Peru and Bolivia, one of the
highest lakes in the world. In the
years 1S77-sO he directed the deep sea
dredging operations of the United
States government steamer Blake in
West Indian waters.
In 1904 he made an expedition to
the deep sea regions of the Pacific, and
il was during this expedition that he
found the great submarine desert 1000
miles long and several hundred miles
wide that lies west of South America.

BELL THE DOGFISH,
URGES PROF. PRINCE
ASKS FISH COMMISSION TO PUT
sTREAMERs ON, ALSO
How About Soaring Other Fish, Is
Query-objeetion Made to Dyna-
miting That NinbIe Cod Isn't
Bombproof, Either

Various schemes for the extermina-
ton of the dogfish off the Massachu-
setts coast are being considered by the
fisheries and game commission, one or
which is the liberation of live dogfish
decorated with flashing streamerS or
tinkling bells.
The plan to make the dogfish scare
themselves off the coast is not original
with the commission. 1t is one OF sew
eral schemes suggested by Prot. u. T.
Prince, F. r. S., an expert on the SUD-
ject, employed by the Canadian gov
ernment.
1t is expected that when the dogfish
are released, with their decorations, all
the schools on the fishing grounds Will
at once leave their homes for deeper or
less peculiar waters, on the same prin-
cipIe that belled rat drlVeS its mates
to other quarters. 49,.
IT is pointed out by Prof. Prince,
however, and the statement is oeing
given due weight by the commission
ers, that the edible fish will probably
also be driven by the decorated dognsh
into new sections of the ocean II tnat
plan is tried. This same weak spot
has been found in some OF the other
propositions before the commission,
one of which seeks by inoculating the
dogfish to reduce the numbers.
Dynamite is another agent by which
It is stated that dogfish might be ex-
terminated quickly and at compare
lively small cost, but it is pointed out
that cod, haddock and mackerel are
not dynamite-proof any more than are
the dogfish.
All the other methods under consid-
Grafton by the board consist OF estap-
fishing bounties of some kind, either TO
be paid for parts Of the fish or for the
OIL There Is one method, proposed by
Prof. Prince as a result of his expert
ments in Canadian waters. which may
look good upon investigation. 1t pro-
vides for the use of long seines made
from stout cords, and to be 1000 or
more yards in length, with which to
impound the dogfish as the preliminary
of slaughter. The report declares
that the method has been used in In
dia for years in dealing with the
schools of sharks that infest those
waters.
1t is possible that nothing will be
done beyond outlining the plan of cam
paign until next winter. The experts
employed by the commission have dis
covered that the dogfish breeds In the
winter and spring and that at those
seasons much more damage may be
done than during the summer.

GOOD TEMPLARS HEAR OF
GAIN FOR PROHIBITION
Forty-four NationaIities Represented
by Eighty-eight Delegates at
the Conference at
Washington

WASHINGTON. June 3.-Todays
session Of the International Order of
Good Templars was devoted to con-
tinuation of the discussion of the re-
ports of officers which was begun yes
terday.
The report OF the electoral super
intendent showed greater gains for
prohibition than ever before in the his
tory of the organization. Ten thou
sand copies Of the report were ordered
printed in the various languages and
will be distributed in countries where
the prohibition movement is in pro-
gress.
The credentials committee report
shows that forty-four nationalities are
represented by lightweight delegates
at this conference.
An address by the grand lodge Of
Sweden, urging the adoption of a
neutral attitude toward religion, was
submitted. The order has made so
many gains, 1t is said, in membership
in Europe, Asia and other countries
that 1t is considered desirable to admit
all persons without regard to their re-
ligious convictions.
Among the new arrivals today was
Peter Swenson, the temperance Or
ganizer of Norway.
President Roosevelt will receive the
delegates at the White House next
Monday.

like manner and was found under

He worked on the canvas. and ulti-
mately brought to light the portrait
signed by Rembrandt.

Jean de Chauvenet, who is the dean of
the conservatory, gives every depart

He has been at the head of three uni

greatest musicians. Prof de Chauve-

does the cuiminative ideas of all the
European masters of music. M. de
Chauvenet is not only master of the
piano. but is also gaining due recogni-.
tion as a composer as well. This school
has been greatly strengthened by the
untiring assistance of Nine. jean de
Chauvenet, who for the past year has
given her attention principally to the
vocal department. She is graduate
of the Des Moines college of music and
has a pure soprano voice OF sweetness

URGES TRIP FOR
THE missing LINK"
DR.. SpItzka Says Andaman islanders
Must Be Studied Before 5ecom.
ina Extinct--Last of "Pure
Ape" Stock

PHILADELPHIA, June 8. - With
Earl Grey. governor general Of Can
ada, as an interested spectator, DIR.
Edward Anthony Spitzka before the
annual meeting of the American Phil
osophical society today pleaded for an
expedition to the Andaman and Nico-
bar islands, in the Indian ocean, to
study the brains of the natives who,
he says. are the only survivals of the
pure ape stock from which the human
race sprang.
There were many papers of great in
terest read by the authorities on
finance, art, physiology and literature
present. DR.. Spitzka exhibited the
brain Of an Andaman islander as an
example of the so-called missing
link" which was given him by Lord
Curzon when viceroy of India. DIR.
Spitzkas paper was entitled "a Pre-
| liminary Report on the Brains of the
Natives of the Andaman and Nicobar
Islands,"
The brain of the Andaman islander
was exhibited in a glass jar. Both of
the races" said DR.. Spitzka, "are rap
idly becoming extinct or impure, and
there is the greatest need for imme-
diate measures so that we can make
exhaustive researches upon the anat-
ony of the brains of these exotic races,
now unfortunately so rapidly becoming
extinct. Only an expedition to these
barbarous islands, apparently, will ac-
complish this great task. 1t certainly
ought to be set on foot at the earliest
possible moment"
The brain of the Andamanese was
inspected with great interest by the
scientists. This marvelously rare or
gan was only procured through the
fact that Lord Curzon personally in
sisted on the utmost efforts being put
forth to obtain the dead Lody of one
of the little savages, who inhabit in
accessible forests and who have sell
dom been even seen by white men.
DR.. A. r. S. Anderson, senior medi-
cal officer at Port Blair. on the island
of Andaman. got the brain.
