Political Fight
Among Daughters
is at Fever Heat
Refusal Of Mrs. Mclean to Allow In
surgent Candidate the Floor
Riles Ants.

WASHINGTON. April H.-Tho refusal
last night OF Mrs. Mclean to permit the
reading by Mrs. William Cummings Story
Of her report as state regent of New York
because she failed to respond TO her name
when called has created much feeling
among the supporters OF the anti-sdminis-
tration candidate for president general of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton. When the daughters assembled to-
day for the third days session they rallied
around their leader and discussed the situa-
tion with her. The political atmosphere in
consequence OF this situation has become
still further clouded and the Story forces
are taking advantage OF II for campaign
material The program for today calls for
the reading OF reports of chairmen of
various committees. the first of which was
one on children OF the republic
The report of the treasurer general, Mrs.
Mabel G. Swarmstedt of this city, showed
that on March 81. 1903. there was balance
of $S4,191 The receipts for the last year
were s6s,4s5, making a total of sl02,626. The
expenditures were $50 sO6, leaving balance
March 81, 1905 OF s33.S2O.
One of the most tense situations witnessed
during the congress occurred last night,
when President General Mclean refused to
recognize Mrs. Story, state regent of New
York, when the latter sought recognition
for the purpose Of reading her report
Early In the night session the president
general entertained a motion that only
the reports of state regents who responded
to roll call be heard. The administration
forces carried the motion through with
rush. Later the strategic move was made
plain when It developed that Mrs. Story
was absent at roll call Confusion reigned
in the auditorium when the secretary
omitted the name OF New Yorks regent
and Mrs Story tried in vain TO secure the
floor to present her report The incident
reached a climax when Mrs. Story, having
yielded TO the decision of the president
general was given ovation by her sup
norters for president general among the
delegates

Mermaids and Mermen.

The dugong, a species of whale
found abundantly in the waters Of
both the great oceans, but especial
ly off the coast of Australia. in the
Pacific, is believed to have furnish
ed the slender basis upon which all
mermaid and mermcn stories have
been founded. Its general length is
from eight to twenty feet. 1t has
head much resembling that of the
human species and breathes by
means of lungs. 1t feeds upon sub
marine beds of seawceds and when
wounded makes noise like mad
bull. Long hair in the female spe-
cies and hair and beard in the male
add to the human resemblance of
the head and neck. The flesh Of
this species of whale is used for
food and is said to have the flavor
of bacon, mutton or beef, accord
ing to the parts of the body from
which the meat is taken.

The Salt In the Sea.

The saline elements Of ocean wa
ter may be in part derived from
geological formations which con-
sisted largely of like matter, but it
is generally considered that the salt
ness of the sea is sufficiently ac-
counted for by the deposition of
soluble salts from the rivers. Salts
of various kinds form part of
the constituent ingredients Of the
earth's soil everywhere. They are
washed out by springs and rivulets
and carried to the sea by large
streams, and as the evaporation
which feeds the streams carries none
of the dissolved matters back again
the tendency is for the salts to ac-
cumulate in the sea. The principal
saline ingredients found in ocean
water are chloride Of sodium, or
common salt, and salts of magnesia
and lime.

Little Lord Fauntleroy.

When Vivian Burnett entered
Harvard his hazing consisted of an
enforced impersonation of Little
Lord Fauntleroy, the famous book
hero, for whom he had served as a
model to his mother, Frances Hodg-
son Burnett. Attired in a suit of
velvet knickerbockers, with broad
ruffled collar and wearing a wig of
long golden curls, he was compelled
to roam about the campus, to the
great delight of his fellow students.
There is little trace of Lord Faun-
tleroy in the serious faced man OF
today. He lives in a handsomely
appointed studio in New York.

ROCK SALT.
1t REVEALS to Us . Place Where onoe
Z Sea Existed.

1
Salt under ground! It seems a
strange thing at first to find salt
among the rocks deep down in the
earth. What does rock salt tell us ?
1t reveals to us place where once
a sea existed. The water has since
flowed away, leaving some salt be-
hind. We know that ordinary salt
exposed to the air soon gets damp
and then becomes quite fluid, but
rock salt away from air and sun
keeps firm for ages.
Rock salt is found in various law
ers of the earth's crust. Some of
the spaces of underground water
are called Seas" but, in fact, large
as they were, they often did not re-
semble the "seas" we have now, be-
cause they were much shallower. A
few were fairly deep, however.
Then, again, these ancient seas
were sometimes SO salty that no
animal could live in them and only
few plants.e
Such seas, in fact, were mostly
'dead," and this accounts for the
masses of salt deposited along their
bottoms. But we find also signs
OF rough water in the numerous
pebbles of the layer where the salt
is found among hard red gravel and
brown quartz.
Germany once had a tolerably
deep sea, not very salt, and the bot
tom surface of it shows coral reefs.
There are signs in it of great fishes
armed with strong teeth, enabling
them to crush the shellfish upon
which they fed.
These swarmed below the sea in
thousands. North England and the
midlands have the Keuper beds,
where the Seas were always shall
low and where we can trace the
marks Of raindrop filterings and
sun cracks. The rock salt is often
in layer 100 feet thick. 1t is sup
posed that one part of these seas
was separated from another part by
a bar OF sand, over which the waves
toppled only now and then.
In the cutoff sea evaporation
went on through the ages, and of
course a deposit Of salt was formed,
while the occasional overflow from
outside replaced the water which
had evaporated: But really this is
not known for certain. It is only
clear rock salt that contains the
minerals we find in our present sea
water-bromine, iodine and mag
nesia.
Generally this salt is not mixed
with fragments of different SUBJ
stance, but is in columns of rough
crystals. Now and then there is
found layer of rock salt, with one
of mari and shells under It, succeed
ed by rock salt again, showing that
for a time change had taken
place.
Upon the land near these shallow
salt seas lived some singular ami
mails, unlike those of our earth in
the later centuries of its history.
There were remarkable reptiles be-
longing to the frog or batrachian
family. One Of the species was the
size OF small OK, with peculiar
complicated teeth and feet which
left prints on the earth SO exactly
like the impressions of the human
hand that geologists gave it Latin
name, meaning "the beast with the
hand" Another strange creature
was sort of lizard with horny
bill and feet resembling those Of
the duck. 1t had somewhat the
appearance of turtle, it is sup
posed. Then there were some
warm blooded animals about the
size of rat, which had pouches
in their cheeks and preyed upon
small insects. = st. Louis Globe
