London. England.-Sir James De
war. Britain's greatest chemist, Is
celebrating today the thirty-fourth an
niversary OF his professorship in the
Royal institution.
I'VE are not q scientific nation" he
said, "as the people make the excep-
tional man shift for himself. and 1t Is
only faith and work almost super
human that can enable him to follow
to the end the true lines OF his genius.
Look at this institution and consider
the names of the men who held my
honored chair before me-Young.
Davy, Faraday and TindsI To them
belongs the credit for discoveries OF
immeasurable benefit to mankind.
Here Davy first showed the arc
lamp, Tyndall conducted his invesu-
cations of radiant heat and magnetism
and Faraday made discoveries IN
magnoelectric currents which form the
basis OF electric lighting and the
transmission of power. Yet we have
an endowment of only G60,O0O ($3Oo.-
000) after 112 years. How do we go
on? Well, that question Is puzzle to
every savant that comes our way. A
foreigner seeing what we have and
knowing what we have done remarks:
Your endowment must be enormous.
When we say we have no endowment
to speak of he shrugs his shoulders
and exclaims: England is national
enigma
why is Germany outstripping us In
science and Its practical applications3
Because the Germans believe in SCI
ence and are willing to back their
faith with their money. Without any
trouble at all the kaiser raises $780,
900 (s2,500.00O) for research alone.
The German firm of Bayer has estab-
lished a gigantic business on the fun

ists In 1875 Bayer employed 119 peo.

New York. The cat squeezed part
way under the stool, then thrust it's
paw up into hole in the bottom of
the STOOL
Presently down came the paw with
out the mouse, but with a $50 bill
sticking to one of the claws. The
members of the Karg family at once
suspended housekeeping to explore
the hole in the footstool.
In all 1915 was found slowed away

around the house ever since the death
of Grannie karg. She was known to
have been Of a saving disposition. but
she died so suddenly that she got no
chance to reveal where she had stored

is to be spent on monument to Gran

PARROT DIsTuRBs A CLASS
Bird Becomes Decidedly Profane Dur
Ing Discussion Of English Spar
rows In Central Park.

New York.-There will be only one
species Of the bird family in any great
numbers in the parks Of the city this
year, according to Donald Burns, keep
er Of the aviary in the Central Park
menagerie. He refers to the English
sparrows.
When he told his class of young
sters from the nearby Fifth avenue
houses in his talk that all the best
birds would be scarcer than ever be-
cause of the ever-increasing number of
piratical sparrows, the youngsters
were inspired with desire to go out
and shoot all they could find. But it
remained for Dick, the parrot who has
recently celebrated his centenary, to
give voice to his feelings in most de-
termined way.
We'll, I'll be d-d!"
And when that damn with big
ID" came from the dignified parrot,
Burns looked aghast.
II wonder who could ha' taught him
that?" exclaimed the keeper.
During the last week the window
beside Dicks cage has been open, and
1t is believed his vocabulary was In
creased by some of the frequenters of
the nearby benches.

HEN THAT NEVER WALKS

A man residing near Thomaston,
Conn, has hen he claims is the only
one of its kind in existence. In APP
pearance she is very much like any
hen, but the owner claims he has
never seen her walk; instead she flies
about the farm very much like a bird,
but only rises about five feet from
the ground. Many times she is seen
on one of the larger limbs at the top
Of tree. On several different occa
sions she has laid an egg in small
box. which was put in the tree some
years ago by children who hoped that
birds might pre-empt it for their home.

Perpetual notion is claimed for a
sign in London which has twenty-foot
wheels that revolve night and day.
The theory is that of leverage. The
wooden wheel seen in the illustration
is pulled down on the left rim by
heavy metal balls at the circumfer-
ence, while, by the curving grooves
that radiate from the axle, the balls
at the right gradually slide to the CEN
ter. whence, as the wheels revolve,
they slide once more to the left rim
The motion is continuous, but slow.

RECEIVER AS DARNlNG BALL

The Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph company has purchased for an
aged woman brand new darning ball.
For months complaints came in thick
and fast about the farmers lines being
sent to San Francisco for a gumshoe
man. He was out a day and then sent
back to Som Francisco for the darning
ball. He had discovered that a
woman on the Ceres road had been in
the habit of taking the receiver off her
telephone every Friday morning and
all that day and the next using it
for a darning ball in mending socks.

and Profitable Discovery.

A lively controversy has been waged
of late in England as to the respec-
tive claims of two grisley relics to be
the genuine head of Oliver Cromwell
the protector. Sir Henry Howarth
Professor Boyd Dawkins and other en-
inent archaeologists have decided that
the skull herewith pictured, which is
in the possession Of Rev. II. r. Will
kinson, is actually that of Cromwell,
and the one preserved in the Univer-
sity Museum at Oxford is spurious.

yellow Snow In Alps.

Geneva.-Yellow snow has now fal-
len in the Engadine. This is far
rarer than the black and red snow
which has fallen on several occasions
in different parts OF Switzerland dur.
ing the last few years.
Yellow snowfalls occurred In the
Alps in 1850 and 1867. on both occa.
sions in the month Of February, beins
caused by a combination of winds,
in which the African sirocco played
an important part, blowing the minute
sands of the Sahara across the Medi.
terranean and Italy and over the from.
tier Alps into Switzerland.

AS corporations go, Everybody's Magazine is not
But among magazine properties, Everybodys
Magazine is said to be top-notcher.

HowAbout the Others?

If Everybody's Magazine with over 65O,OOO cir
culatlon and its supremacy in advertising
will be wiped out by this proposition,
What will happen to all the other high grade
American Magazines?
What will happen to the great farm and reli-
gious publications?
What will happen to the hundreds of thousands
Of emp loyees in the printing and publishing

What will happen to the American people if
such an unfair property destroying measure
can be railroaded into law?
