The circumstances surrounding the
murder of Miss Sigel were peculiarly
distressing to her family and friends.
Chinese were allowed to come to the
Sigel home because Of the interest in
their welfare displayed by Elsie Sigers
mother Rut it was not known that
she herself SO often frequented the
Chinatown district until the revela-
tons subsequent to the murder were
made. The fact that Miss Sigel was
strangled and her body doubled up in
trunk and left in the rooms Of her
Chinese admirer, Leon Ling. made the
tragedy especially grewsome and has
aroused widespread public sentiment
against conditions which make such
crimes possible. 1t Is urged that where
Sunday school classes for Chinese are
maintained only male teachers should
be put In charge and that mission
work in Chinese colonies should be
done exclusively by men,

arhou pisst on Point of Fox

Fox blades were celebrated all
through the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries for their excellent temper,
and mention of them is frequent in
English drama. This is their history:
There was a certain Julian del Rel,
believed to be a Morisco. who set up a
forge Mt Toledo in the early part of
the sixteenth century and became IA
nous for the excellence OF his sword
blades. which were regarded as the
best OF Toledo. That city had for many
ages previous been renowned for
swordmaking. II being supposed that
the Moors introduced the art. as they
did so many good things. from the
east.

was across the main corridor of the

cross over to the mails department

A Royal Snake slaushterer.

The secretary bird is one OF the
most precious birds in South Africa.
II Is royal game. and any person de-
stroyi.g one is liable to a fine of 200.
Majestic looking birds, they stand
about three feet high and generally go
In pairs. They are of drab color. with
black, feathery legs. and are valued
for their propensity for killing snakes.
Where the secretary bird is seen there
are sure TO be many reptiles about.
The bird beats down its adversary
first with one wing and then with the
other. at the same time trampling on
II with its feet until the snake is suifi'
ciently stunned TO catch 1t by the
head with its claws. Then the bird
rises far up in the air and drops its
victim TO the ground. to be killed. By
this means thousands of venomous
reptiles are destroyed.-London Scraps.

The Aurora BoreaIis.

The aurora borealis. or northern
light. is something that we have all
heard about. but very few, perhaps,
can give any explanation of it. No
one definitely knows what causes it.
but the scientists are pretty well
agreed that 1t is due to electricity.
They believe that the light is made by
the decomposition of the positive and
negative electricity. always in the up
per and lower strata of air. respec-
lively. NJ. Lenstrom made an inter-
esting experiment in Finland In 1852,
his object being to determine the ma
ture of the aurora. Ibe had the peak
of a mountain surrounded by cop
per wire. pointed at intervals with
tin nibs When he had charged the
wire with electricity yellow light
appeared on the tin tips. and an ex-
animation of the light by the spec
troscope revealed the greenish yellow
raw that is a marked feature Of the
aurora. This evidence among SCI
entists is almost convincing. for it
is 10y means of the spectroscope that
we discover the constituent parts of

When Cold Breathe Deeply.

A simple way to get warm after ex-
posure to cold Is to take long breath
with the mouth firmly shut. Repeat
this several times until you begin to
feel the heat returning. 1t requires n
very short time to do this. The long
breath. according to the Family Doc
tor, quickens the pulse and thus causes
the blood to circulate faster. The
blood flows into all parts OF the veins
and arteries and gives out great deal
of heat. 1t Is stated that this method
of deep breathing prevents colds and

said she hid the coins in large. old
fashioned chimney and that the gold
was hers. Two 13 year old boys,
Johnny Freitas and Leon Thomas. who
found the money while playing on the
lot, claim the coin on the ground that
the real owner can not be found. Mrs
Marie Lucke, owner of the lot, claims
the coin on the theory that it was
abandoned on her property.
Mrs. Mayman said that after the fire
she sent her daughter over from Oak
land to search among the ruins for
what she might find, but did not tell
her of the hoard of money. She did
not want to make her husband and
daughter feel bad about the loss. she
testified, so she told them nothing un-

POLICEMAN KIRBY
IS ON TO HIS JOB
Arrests Two Men Who We're
Trying to Sell Stolen
Lead

A buggy standing in an alley adjoin-
ing a plumbing shop in Duncan street
and San Jose avenue Thursday after
noon with seven 100 pound kegs of
white lead in it aroused the suspicion
of Policeman James M. Kirby that
something was wrong. He saw four
men in the shop, and entering, de-
manded an explanation. Two of the
four men promptly showed fight and
one of them, Albert Treadwell, grabbed
hold of a chair and attempted to strike
Kirby with it.
Detective McPhee saw the mixup
from across the street and ran to
Kirby's assistance. McPhee quickly
subdued Treadwell with his club and
the four men were placed under ar
rest and taken to the Mission police
station and later to the city prison,
where their names were registered on
the detinue book. The other three
were Louis Bray, Thomas O'Brien and
William Farley.
Yesterday O'Brien and Farley ex-
planned that they were the proprietors
of the plumbing shop and Treadwell
and Bray had called at the shop Of
fering to sell them the seven kegs of
white lead. That was all they knew
about it. They We're released from
