Scientist Tries to
Prove Darwin's Theory

Philadelphia DIR. Edward Tyson
Recher, investigator and professor Of
Psychology at the University of Penn
sylvania has published his observations
made in series OF experiments with
blood crystals of animals and men, and
has, he believes, a strong argument in
favor of the Darwin theory Of evolution.
His conclusions are based on a study
of 250O photomicrographic negatives.
These negatives we're obtained from the
blood of virtually every species OF ami
NAL
Evolution observed from chemical
standpoint is so vast in its possibilities
that it will require the combined efforts
of hundred investigators working in
cessantly for several generations to COM
plete the task, according to DR.. Rel
ebert.
Not only will the experiments have an
important bearing on the evolutionary
theory, but the ability to distinguish by
comparison of crystals between the
different types of man will be of i'm
mense Importance in the examination of
blood in murder trials. BY DR.. Rel
chert's method it is possible to estab-
lish definitely whether the blood is of
man or animal, and to say with a de-
gree of positiveness whether it is the
blood CT negro or white person.

IRISH TONGUE CRUSHED OUT
Curious Story of How "TaIly-Stick'

The curious story Of how the tally

Irish political leader.

Among these was the tally-stick.' This

And for each notch the child was Civ,

one blow: two notches, two blows; SIN

months of the Irish children.

BEAR THAT LIKES PUDDINGS
Young Canadian Black Cub in New
York Geological Gardens Be-
coming Very Naughty.

In the New York Geological Gar
dens there is a young Canadian black
bear that has become very naughty
of late. Part of his biography has
just been published. 1t appears that
when the bear was a cub he was a
farm, pet, was as domesticated as a
dog and wandered untethered about
the yard and all over the farm. The
sort Of life he led and some of the
stunts he did are entertainingly writ

Jimmy's favorite chum and playfel-
low was Romulus, a young prairie
wolf The fact that they were such
good friends was due largely to jim.
my's good nature, for certainly ROmu-
lus leased him in every possible way.
Even in the matter of food, Jimmy
was disposed to be generous, and he
seldom resented the attempts of RO-
mulus, or of ActaeOn, the deer, to take
from him his bread and apples. There
was, however, one particular kind of
food which he insisted on having his
full share of, and that was plum pud-
ding. He would eat it at any time
of the day or night, whether he was
hungry or not, and if there was any
limit to the amount he would eat, no
one ever discovered it. No matter
how much was given to him he never
seemed to consider the quantity suf-
ficient to warrant his sharing it with
his playfellOws, and if either of these
attempted to force him to divide with
him the result was a fight. Not that
Jimmy was really vicious, but he gave
mis- companions to understand that on
the subject of plum pudding his opin-

LOrimer to the United States senate,
was found not guilty by jury in the
criminal court. This was Brownies
second trial. The jury disagreed in
the first trial. The speedy verdict was
a surprise.
Even the defendant seemed not to
expect it. He smiled pleasantly, but
feebly, as the verdict was read. His
cheeks flushed with the first show of
color that they have shown for many
days when the welcome news reached
his ears.
He stood up, reached his hands
over to accept the congratulations of
his friends, and fastened to the jury
box to thank the men who had freed
him from the charge.
In all, eight ballots were taken, ac-
cording to the best information that
could be secured by Judge Kersten.
It was officially announced the first
ballot stood 8 to 4 for acquittal.
Only one ballot was taken the first
day. When the jury resumed ballot

9 to for acquittal. Ballots were
rapidly taken. and shortly before
noon two jurors switched to the de-

HERO OF WIRELESS DIES
Pere Marquette Carferry Bound for
Milwaukee Sinks. Distress Sig

Graft. Captain Kitty Dead.

Ludington.-When the half frozen,
almost exhausted survivors Of the
shipwreck of the Pere Marquette car
ferry No. Is were picked up from the
waters of Lake Michigan and the
official list of those on board had been
checked it was found that twenty
eight had gone to their death and
thirty-three had been preserved by the
rescue work of the crew of the sister
boat, ferry No. II.
The survivors, the bodies and fiOt-
sam of the wreck were scattered over
the surface of the water for five
miles in all directions from the point
where the big vessel was engulfed.
Six of the dead were recovered by
the sailors engaged in the rescue
work.
Twenty other bodies are still in the
grip of the lake.
1t was a pitiful, despairing appeal
flashed by the wireless apparatus as
the doomed boat known in the Offices
of the Pere Marquette railroad as
carferrN No. Is began to slip into
the deep.

licked out into space. 1t was in the
cold, gray morning, the sky overcast,
a cold wind blowing and a rough,
wild night just coming to an end.
No. II caught the message. Other
vessels caught it. but No. II was
close at hand and it was she who
plOWed with all possible speed
through the rolling water, but when
she reached the point where No. Is
had voiced her cry for help, the waves
had closed over the boat.
The catastrophe occurred approx
mately thirty miles off Port Washing
ton. No. II, bound from Milwaukee
for LudingtOn, reached the wreck
just as No. Is sank out Of sight
Several miles away a lone boat was
tiOundering in the surge and swell of
the waves and on all sides were the
Shrieks and screams of the poor
Wretches soaked through and through
with the almost ice-cOld water, and
gripped by the strong wind.
The twelve rescued were in one of
the ships boats. The remainder were
clinging to the wreckage or floating
about buffeted by the debris.
Capt Milligan'S acting as first Of
ficer on the No. II, said
I've had just reached No. IS when
it went down. 1t went down stern
first, and just as the waters closed
over it there seemed to be an ex-
plosion, either of steam or by the
compression of air, which blew the
cabin entirely off the boat in frag-
ments. and these pieces of wreckage
undoubtedly saved the lives of a

THE VALUE OF CLEAN PLAYS,
CBy De Wolf Hopper.)

Not long ago, some one Jokinsly
said that my plays were like a certain
brand of soap, ninety-nine and two
thirds per cent pure.
Nothing that has ever been said of
me or my work has pleased me SO
much as this tribute. I'm for the
clean play, first. last and all the time;
and what's more important, | know
that the public is, too. The tempor-
airy prosperity that has come to GER
tain managers who have this season
presented plays which-oh, well,
what's the use of naming them
three salicious comedies now before
the public which have won certain
measure of financial success. That
this success is one of the most eph-
emeral kind is as sure as death and
taxes. No play that is not wholesome
can have any real value, and without
real value there can be no success.
The day is past when the theatre
going public will go to the theatre
just because it is open. 1t is no
longer the show business" but the
show me business" The public In
sists upon knowing what it is going to
pay its good money to see.
nate w ldlh bHh
I've had the most phenomenal success
in a season of failures. | am perfect
ly sure there is a reason for 1t. Peo-
pie know that I've always given them
perfectly clean entertainments. My
motto is clean plays for clean people.
So we are all happy-the public
because it is getting clean. wholesome
fun, and | because I'm able to give 1t
to them.
It's a remarkable thing how seldom
the theatre-going public as whole
goes wrong. Its verdict is nearly al
ways the true one. All this talk
about plays being over the heads of
audiences is rot, pure and simple;
good plays never fail, bad plays near
ly always come to grief. and that's
about all there is to it. Certainly the
great amusement loving public is
fine. healthy, clean-minded public and
will have nothing to do with vile un-
clean plays. The small element which
cares for that sort of thing gives such
pieces a fictitious popularity which
does not mislead any one.
