RESULT OF OBSERVATIONS
MADE ON BLOOD CRYSTALS
University Professor Thinks He Has
Strong Argument in Support of
Darwinian Theory.

PHILADELPHIA, April 11.-Dr. Ed
ward Tyson Reichert, investigator and
professor of physiology at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, has published his
observations made in a series of ex
periments with blood crystals Of ami
mails and men. and has, he believes.
strong argument in favor OF the Oar.
winian theory OF evolution.
His conclusions are based on 4 study Of

OLDYS DISCUSSES BIRDS.
Lecture Before the Secular League.
Features of the Meeting.

AT its meeting at Pythian Temple yes
terday afternoon the Washington Secu-
lar League was addressed by Prof Henry
Oldys of the bureau of biological survey
OF the Department OF Agriculture. on 1.-The
Bird Protection Movement" The speak
err called attention to the popular igno-
rance OF this movement. which has become
one of considerable extent and impor-
lance, and his address was devoted to
showing what the movement is, what 1t
is doing and what it hopes to accomplish.
The commercial uses of birds for food
and for characterization in the millinery
trade were given as the great causes of
the destruction Of the songsters.
The speaker acquitted "woman's vani-
ty" Of responsibility In the matter. hold
ing that she is also the victim Of the
purveyors Of fashion and would willingly
adopt other forms of ornamentation il
fashion did not decree otherwise.
The great service Of birds to agricul-
ture and their aid to man as destroyers
Of insects. worms and weed seeds were
emphasized.
The speaker took the position that
the matter was not question Of cruelty
to the birds, but one of the interest and
welfare OF man, and OF preventing the
loss of species Of birds which when ex-
terminated can never be replaced.
Following the address the subject was
discussed by President II. c. Kirk, Miss
Anna Mclaurin Smith, Samuel Safoman,
Harry B. Bradford, Attorney Donald Nc
PhersQp, J. w. Nigh and Prof. E. C.
kenney.
At the opening of the meeting the
league rescinded its action Of one week
previous in indOrsing the Godfrey bill
authorizing harmless athletics and sports
in the District of Columbia on Sunday.
This action was taken on the ground that
the proposed legislation is needless and
uncalied for. since 1t appears that there
is no law or police regulation prohibiting
such athletics and sports on Sunday.
and also because the proposed legisla-
ton. under the circumstances. comedies
the principle that Congress has the right
to regulate the observance of Sunday
and to say what may and may not be
done on that day.
The league also decided not to indorse
the bill for the establishment OF . de-
partment OF health In the national gov
ernment, and the matter was laid on the
table indefinitely.
During the meeting an autoharp solo
was rendered by Prof. d e. Kenney. who
sang an original and amusing song en-
titled The Circus"

POLICE WITHOUT CLUES.
Unable to Locate Couple That Aban-
doned Infant.

Nothing has been learned by the police
as to the identity of the man and woman
who deserted an infant in a room at the
Howard House Saturday night. Police
men on duty at the Union station saw
the couple when they arrived there Satur-
day. They inquired the location of the
hotel and it is said they were also seen
when they passed through the gate at the
station after they had left the child in
the hotel.
1t is certain that the name II. Johnston
and the address Harrisburg. Pa. were
fictitious. Tho baby Is still being cared
for at St. AIMS Infant Asylum.

PARnSANS ARE RESTING
LITTLE INTEREST IN DEBATE
IN BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
Surfeit of Politics and House in
State Of Lethargy-Big
Fight Later.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON. March 81, 1910.
Although the newspapers daily print
columns of the debate on the resolutions
restricting the power of veto by the lords
now going on in the house of commons,
public interest is only slightly stimu-
lated. This is owing to two reasons-one
because people have been surfeited with
politics recently; the other, because every
one knows that this is not the real fight,
but merely preliminary skirmish.
Mr.. Asquith having fired off his heavy
guns, the house has sunk back into the
state of lethargy that has been it's chief
characteristic since the present parlia-
ment assembled. There has been a good
deal Of pairing. for private members now
fully appreciate that their services are
not in immediate request and will only be
required in the division Hobbies.
"Misfire" of Revolution
has misired. 1t is. of course, matter of
great difficulty for party of reform
ers' to keep up their enthusiasm when
John Redmond tells them at the start
how far they shall go and what tactics
they must employ to secure his essential
support; but this is the position theslib-
era party is in.
The unionists are preparing for great
effort to win back London at the next
election. The metropolis was, on the
whole. one of the disappointments of the
January fight to the tories, but there are
a good number of seats held by the lib
erals by such small ma jorities that 1t is
felt victory will be assured if plenty OF
spade work is done.
Already there are numerous meetings
being held, and while the unionists are
busy. the liberal organizations, for the
most part, have done practically no work
at all, apparently not having learned a
lesson from the last election. when they
were hopelessly outclassed by the tory
speakers and workers.
