HALL OF CHRIST is UNIQUE
AuIa Christi at chautauqua, N. Y.
Only Building of Its Kind In
the World.

Chautauqua, n. Y.-The dedication
of the Aula Christi or Hall of Christ
the only building of its kind in the
world, took place recently in this city.
The one who first proposed the idea
Is years ago, Bishop John II. Vincent,
gave the dedication address
This new building to be devoted ex-
clusively to the study of Christ, was
erected at a cost OF about $4,000. The
largest single contributions TO its
erection were $4,000 from the Massey
estate in Toronto; $4,000 from Miss
Helen Gould and $4,000 from the es-
tate of N. T. Arnold. The last s12,-
900 for it's completion was given by
Chautauquas at single meeting last
year. The building is constructed OF
white Roman brick. stone, steel and
white terra Gotta. The windows are
all of historic significance presenting
in chronological order events in the
life of Christ.
All the books which have been writ

very large library dealing with the
interpretations OF Christ. and Christ

should be above the average. They
are reputed to be good scavengers
and very prolific. Their record In
Colorado has borne out this reputa-
tion.
Several years ago few specimens
OF the breed were taken To the Cen
tral experimental farm at Ottawa,
Canada. The Colorado importation
was made in September of 1907 by
Prof w. l.. Carlyle and consisted OF
three sows and boar The object Of
this importation was to Introduce a
hardy prolific hog that could be pro-
duced proiitably The only expert
ments so far attempted have been n
series of crosses between the new
breed and the Duroc-Jersey, the Po-
land. China and other cornbelt hogs,
with the object of giving to the native
breeds the proliflcacy vigor and rust
ling qualities OF the Large Blacks.
These points are ones that directly
concern the breeders pocketbOok and
In addition are main points Of contro-
versy in the rivalry OF the different
breeds for public favor.
During the last two years the Large
Black boar has been bred to Tam.

Pest Spread by Squirrels

by the same flea which caused the
spread of the bubonic plague among
the rats. AS early as 1903 the case
OF one man WAS noted. in Contra
Costa county. who died OF the plague
without having been in any OF the
larger towns, but who was known to
have been hunting ground squirrels.
Sergt. Rupert Blue of the marine
hospital service noted this case, and
as other cases developed, suspicion
was more and more directed toward
the squirrels. First a boy and several
other men, who had been hunting
them, were attacked by the plague and
finally an examination was made
showing conclusively that the sQuir-
rels were the hosts OF the plague. pro
ducing flea.
From this time on war was waged
against the ground squirrel and now
regular shipments of them are made
to the laboratory OF the marine health
service, in San Francisco, where they
are examined as carefully as are the
rats when there is a suspicious out
break of the plague.
One hundred and seventy-elght In
fected squirrels have been discovered
and this alone shows the danger the
/ hunters run in collecting the speci
| mems.

Experts Discover They Are More Dan
gerous in Spread Of Bubonic
Plague Than Rats.

Washington. Marine hospital serv-
ice experts who discovered that
ground squirrels are an agent in the
spread of bubonic plague on the Pa
cific coast assert that they are even
more insidious and difficult to deal
with than the rats that for time
threatened San Francisco and the
other large cities.
They seem to have become particu
larly infected in Contra Costa county
and II given the chance, it is feared
will spread the Infection throughout
the west.
The ground squirrels have been long
a nuisance on the Pacific coast and al
various times have caused great dam
age to crops. The squirrels have
been regarded as good eating mp til
recently In the regions where they
most abound people have salted then

Keeping Chickens Costly.

Washington.-Of chickens young,
and chickens old, chickens tender and
chickens tough. chickens hot and
chickens cold. Washingtonians have
had enough. Owing to the enforce
ment OF the new health sanitary reau.
lations concerning chicken coops and
barnyards and the fire regulations,
owners of egg producers In the city
have found II more profitable TO kill
of their fowls than to meet the new
requirements. AS a result chicken
dinners have become a fad with the
residents of the national capital.

The ears were uniform and OF medium
size. the form departed somewhat
from the broadness and compactness
of the typical Poland China, but not
so much so as to sacrifice maturing
and fleshing qualities; the bone was
medium and the quality throughout
was very fair
Like results have been obtained by
crossing boars of other breeds on the
Large Black sows. None of these
cross-breedlng experiments have as
yet been checked by duplication and
no feeding experiments for testing the
cross-bred progeny have yet been at
tempted. For western conditions II Is
probable that an infusion OF Large
Black blood would be of moro benefit
to the Poland-Chlna than to any other
breed. Results 80 far attained iDdi-
cate that the early maturing qualities
of the corn-belt favorite can be re-
tanned in great measure and his
vigor, proliGcacy and rustling quail
ties much improved by the cross.
II the Colorado specimens are fairly
representative Of the breed, the Large
Blacks are the most prepotent of sa
breeds of swine.

Navy Short 500 Of Sailors Now
Authorized by Statutes.
Force viii Not BE Large Enough to
Man New Warships Unless old
Ones Are Laid Up-Injure
Young Officers.

Washington.-The navy department
is confronted with a probable reduc-
tion of the enlisted force through fail
ures TO re-enlist. on the part of sea-
men and enginemen now in the serv-
ice, as well as the pronounced de-
crease in the number of new enlist
ments. This condition the authorities
attribute to the increasing demand
for moderate as well as highpriced
labor occasioned by the rising tide of
business activity throughout the coun-
try.
The present authorized strength Of
the navy's enlisted force is 44,50O.
The naval authorities had contemplat.
ed urging to congress an increase of
5000 in the next report of the depart
ment. II is questioned whether a
request for even half that number can
receive executive approval.
At the present rate of falling off in
enlistments and reenlistments II is
practically certain that there will be
less than 10000 sailormen wearing
Uncle Sans livery on January |, 1910.
Already the navy is 1900 shy OF the
authorized strength and the reduction
continues day by day.
According to the naval officers,
there will not be sufficient number
of men to man the new ships now
approaching completion without re.
ducing the crews of the minor cruisers
or putting several of the older ships
out OF commission altogether They
do not approve of laying up the new
ships. AS fast as completed they will
go into commission and into active
service.
II is said that even the newest shiJ
when placed I'm ordinary" deterior
ates much more rapidly than when al
sea. This is particularly true of theii
engines. The only course open to the
navy is to send the veteran ships bach
TO the navy yard to be partially dis
mantled and laid up until the state
of the national treasury justifies fur
ther increase in the cost of maintain
ing the navy and the projected in
crease In the enlisted personnel.
