Why the Muscles GroD Tired

Nearly half the weight of the human body
consists of muscles which connect the bones
and, by contraction, move them into various
positions In the best steam engines only one
tenth of the potential energy of the fuel is con-
verted into mechanical work, but the muscles
utilize in work from 81 to IS per cent. OF the
energy OF the food and probably much more,
as the experiments which furnished these
figures were performed with muscles removed
from the body, not with living muscles richly
supplied with blood. The less the contraction
of a muscle the greater is its efficiency A
steam engine which is maintained in good con-
dition works hour after hour and day after
day, always consuming the same quantity of
coal in performing the same amount of work.
With the muscles, however, it Is different.
For their waste products from combustion
accumulate and cause fatigue. The poison of
fatigue gradually is washed away by the blood.
and in light and slow work 1t is carried of as
rapidly as II is formed by the activity of the
muscle. while In heavy, violent or greatly pro.
longed labor Il accumulates in the muscles.
II is the sensation of fatigue that causes US
unconsciously to select the easiest way of do
ing things-for example, to ascend a mountain
by a winding rather than by straight path,
although we thus increase the total quantity of
work

BERKELEY, April 10.-Les Bavards,

tainment next Tuesday evening at the
Hillside club house. Much interest is
felt in the evenings entertainment

IN the history of the university that a
freshman class has staged play in a
foreign language.
Two bright little comedies have been
"Miousic" and La Comedie

given in Paris with marked success.
Besides these, the musical part of the
program is particularly interesting be-
cause Miss Mesow, the sweet blind
singer of Berkeley, will sing a song,
the melody of which has been composed
by Prof. Z. B. Lamare, and the accom-
paninent arranged by Prof. ]. T. Clark,

Policeman w. II. Harrison responded.
The trio went to the basement,
which is occupied as a cafe, but found
no trace of burglar. They went up
stairs to the rear of the liquor store.
On breaking open the door and In the
darkness they saw the shadow OF a
man.
Mulvany's revolver went off-he says,
accidentally-and the victim yelled in

Mulvany did not understand The lights
were turned on, and Sunbeck nearly
tainted when he saw the wounded man
was Swenson.
Swenson was hurried to the central

found that the bullet had gone clear
through Swenson's body. without
touching any vital spot. The wound
was dressed and Swenson left the hos
pital, saying he would go 70 his home
at 927 Aileen street, Oakland. Instead
he ate a hearty breakfast and returned
to the store.
Swenson said that he had attended
a lodge meeting OF the Swedish-Au1eri-
can society upstairs, and as the meet
ing did not adjourn till late he decided
to sleep in the store. He told Detec-
tives Wren and Riordan that he did

OUR SPECIAL POSITION IN THE
CARIBBEAN.

President Taft in his message which
was read to Congress today, has given
utterance to an idea with respect to
the controversy with President Zelaya
Of Nicaragua which viii not escape the
notice of the diplomatic world.
While disclaiming any intention on
the part Of this Government to inter
fere in the relations of the Central
American republics. he yet declares that
It Is very apparent that the considera-
tions Of geographic proximity to the
! Canal Zone and of the very substantial
American interests in Central America
give to the United States a special
position in the zone of these republics
and the Caribbean Sea"
The import of this is that this Gov
eminent serves notice both to the Cen
trail American republics. to the coun-
tries bordering on the Caribbean, and to
the world, that the United States has
such interests at stake in the region
in question that it intends to exercise
"a certain degree Of supervision over
the affairs Of the countries in that re-
gion.
This 10 intends 60 DO without undue
interference and without annexation or
the establishment Of protectorates The
construction Of the canal has made it
imperative that this country shall pre-
vent IF possible a reign Of turbulence
and disorder IN the Caribbean Sea terri
tory. and to shrink from it would be
TO overlook a plain duty, though one
likely to prove both expensive and
troublesome.
It may be expected that this declara-
tion bv the President viii call forth
protest from certain elements in Latin
America which never fail to detect in
any move Of this country a purpose 10
reach out for more territory. But such
a protest is not mcrited This country
has no purpose to transgrcss on the
rights Of the countries TO the south.
At the same time 10 wants Go see order
preserved and personal and property
rights protected. AIalcfactor5 of the
Zelaya sort cannot Doe tolerated.
The policy is for the best interests
of the United States and re Latin
American ropublics And that part of
the message which deals with Latin
America in general emphasizes the
growing interest of this country I'm
that part of the world. and the grow
ing desire TO maintain the best possible
relations with the Latin American
governments.

SUGAR TRUST BUYS LAND IN
PHILIPPINES.

A Manila dispatch announces that
representatives Of Sugar trust interests
have purchased a big tract of sugar
lands in the Philippine Islands. and viii
develop them to produce sugar which
viii come into the United States free
of duty.
It will he recalled that the new tariff
bill contains provision for free admis-
sion of 100000 tons of Philippine sugar
annually. That provision, of course,
was inserted as measure Of Justice
to the little brown brother" a good
deal was heard about developing the
industries of the islands. That it was
a pleasant proceeding to give the Sugar
trust an immense amount Of free raw
sugar, which it would sell at tariff
prices and thus make huge profits, was
pointed out and vigorously denied But
the outcome. in this land purchase,
seems to settle that feature.
Just as it has been gathering in Cuban
lands. the trust is now getting lands in
the Philippines. 1t viii produce its
own raw sugar to the extent of the
100000 tons admitted free, and viii
make the utmost possible profit out of
It; which means that the islanders
viii make as little as possible consist
emit with inducing them to do the work
of producing.
Meanwhile, that free sugar will COM
pete with the dutied sugar of Cuba and
the cane sugar of Louisiana and the
beet sugar of the West; and nobody
viii make anything out of the conces-
sior except the trust. II Is one more
fine illustration of the absolute neces-
sity Of revising the sugar schedule in
the interest of the home industry, of
fair treatment of the colonial posses
sions. and Of the consumer. There Is no
schedule which so eloquently cries out
for reform as this one of sugar. It viii

dals already rife on every hand in con
nection with this trust, if Congress,

lief from the expressions Of the worst
