Markings Of Birds to Conceal Them
from Their Enemies.

Many curious facts about the effects
OF particular colors and markings Of
birds, insects and other animals in
concealing them from their enemies
have been collected by naturaists,
and the theory of protective mimic.
ry' has been pushed far in some
cases. An interesting observation
bearing on this subject is recorded
by Charles b. Davenport Of the Car
negie Institution. About 800 chicks,
of various colors and patterns, were
allowed to run at large in a pasture.
In less than two hours crows had

the slaughted chicks. and found that
they included /" whites. 13 blacks.
coarsely mottled gray-aud.buff, but
not a single chick with "pencilod"
markings more or less like those OF
ordinary jungle-fowl or game. This,
he thinks, was due to the relative in.
conspicuousness of the penciied birds,
and indicated that the colors arising
under domestication increased the
danger to the others.

along the country roads, while in V in

WOMAN NOT so SENSITIVE
Her Emotional Sense Same as Dogs,
Prof. Parker, Harvard Ex-
pert, Declares.

Boston.-That women are less sen.
sitive than men, and that the daintiest
woman has no more emotional sense,
in the purely scientific view, than her
pet dog or her Persian cat, are the
very latest theories advanced by Pro-
fessor George Howard Parker, Har-
wards great zoologist and expert on
the anatomy and physiology of sense
organs.
who ever heard Of a woman tea
faster, Who ever heard Of a woman
wine faster? In these occupations,
where the most acute senses are re.
quired, we find only men," he,said
The knowledge Professor Parker
has acquired on sense development is
the result of years of study among the
lower forms of life. His early work
dealt with the eyes Of Holsters and
the ears of fishes.
Asked whether civilized man has
more senses than, for instance, dog
or wolf, he replied:
81 believe he has not. To compare
one animal, even man. with any other
and say man has more senses, is i'm
possible Man has certain senses
more highly developed than lower
animal, such as dog On the other
hand. the dog has certain senses more
highly developed than those same
senses in man.
AS to whether woman has more
highly developed senses than man,
should say she has not. In fact,
think if the matter could be definitely
decided, it would be found that man
has the more highly and more accu-
rately developed senses"
If Prof. Parkers deductions are ac-
cepted finally the time honored be-
liet in the finer emotions of women
may be destroyed. The suffragette
may no longer be called unwomanly.
This new theory of Prof. Parker,
it is declared, is destined to create a
rev olution in the accepted beliefs of
scientists and laymen alike, for at the
bottom of it lies the scientists con-
| tention that there are really many
more than the traditional five senses.

LYE STEWED PEACHES-THAi -
WHAT WE EAT--ANOTHER
PURE FOOD DISCUSSION.

The pure food agitation which has
been principally over the question of
| benezoate of soda has now taken a
new turn and renewed interest will
doubtless be aroused over this ques-
tion.
1t is said that in most of the can
neries of the country peaches are
stewed in red-hot caustic soda to eat
away the skins and thereby save the
cost of knifepeeling, the difference in
cost amounting to cent and half
or two cents per can.
In the process of this lye stewing,
almost all the flavor of the peaa1fdis-
appears and doubtless a liti khstic
soda is left on each pieX/ Fruit as
a memento of its tAAfough the
cannery.
Caustic soda strong enough to eat
away the skin of an unripe peach
must be anything but soothing to the
inner man or child. The full signif-
icance of this is best understood in
connection with the fact that caustic
soda is used in making many kinds
of soap; in fact, it is the dirt eating
1t is said that the great majority
| of the canneries use the lye process
! in place of the knife-peeling method.
| Attempts have been made for some
time to get the Department of Agri-
culture to make a ruling on this
question which would compel the
Gamers who use this method to say
so on the labels of their goods. 1t
| looks now as if the question will be
passed up to Congress for a specific
law covering the phase of the pure
food agitation.
! law covering this phase of the pure
BILE with ripe fruit because it discol-
ors a ripe peach so that it will not
pass muster with the users of high
! grade canned fruits. In consequence
| this process is possible only with
unripe fruit, and green fruit is pur-
posely gathered for canning.
Owing to the absence of any marks
on the cans to indicate the use of
caustic soda, the only way the GUS
| toner can tell if he has purchased a
| lye-process can of fruit is by taste.
! Open a can of peaches, wash away

appearance, it is undoubtedly the

GOES TO \ NEW FIELD.
Rev. Father Winters of Hawley Al
uuintpd pasfnr at Grpen RidOp


Rev p. c. winters, for the past ten
years pastor of st. Philomena' S
church, Iawley, was appointed by Rt.
Rev Bishop NJ. j. Hoban to succeed
Rev. p. J. McManus as pastor of St.
Paul's church, Green Ridge. Father
McManus, who has held the Green
Ridge pastorate for twenty-five years
goes to Wllkes-Barre next week to
fiji 1.-The vacancy at st. Mary's, caused
by the death of Monsignor r. A. Nc
Andrew.
Father Winters will be succeeded
at Hawley by Rev. Henry Burke, who
has been assistant to Monsignor T..
f. Coffey, at st. Roses church, Car
bondale, for the past eight years.
Other important appointments an
nounced by his lordship are that
Rev. Charles j. Manley, at present of
st. Francis church at Overton, Brad
ford county, goes to Jersey Shore,
succeeding Rev. d. J. Dustin, and
Rev. John Morrison, another of Mon
signor Coffey's corps of assistants at
Carbondale, goes to Overton
The latter changes are necessitated
by the resignation of Father Dustin
from the Jersey Shore pastorate to
become assistant to Director General
John A. Burke, of the negro mis-
sions, whose headquarters are in
New York.
Much interest had centered in the
appointment to Green Ridge. 1t
was understood that the appointee
would be either Father Winter, DR..
]. W. Malone, of st. Peters cathe-
dral, or Rev. A. T. Broderick, of
Montrose. The latter was regarded
as tn strongest candidate, so the ap-
pointment of Father Winter is sur
prising to a degree. Like the APP
pointment of Father McManus to
Wilkes-Barre, almost in the shadow
of his old home, there is an element
of sentiment in the selection of his
successor. The church Father Whit
ers is leaving to come to Green Ridge
is the one in which Bishop Hoban re-
ceived his first religious instruction,
his lordship being a native of Haw-
ley.
Father Winters has made an excel
lent record at st. Philomena's and
it is safe to predict that the Green
Ridge parishioners will be well salts
fed with his selection to succeed
their present beloved pastor.
Attached to the Hawley parish are
missions at Ledgedale and White
Mills and the new pastor, Father
Burke. will care for these as Father
Winters has done. Father Morri-
son, who succeeds Father Manley,
at Overton, will care for the mission
at Sugar Ridge.
Father Bustins withdrawal from
the Jersey Shore parish and from the
diocese is much regretted. He is one
of Bishop Hoban's warm personal
friends, having accompanied him to
the jubilee at the American College,
in Rome, last summer and on the trip
through various European countries,

THE evils of cigarette smoking
from the physical side, as illustrated

thirteen hundred lamps can be lighted
