NOTABLE FISH BOOK

The results Of DR.. Eigenmanns ex-
plorations are about to be published
as volume five of the Memoirs Of the
Carnegie Museum" Dr. w. j. Hol-
land, director, and Dr. Eigenmann have
been busily engaged the last few
weeks in arranging the manuscript
and the plates. The work will appear
in large Quarto form and will be illus
trated by 104 pictures, giving figures
Of nearly 300 species of the fresh wa
ter fishes of British Guiana.
The frontispiece is photograph of
the great Kaieteur falls on the Potaro
river. This stream, which is as large
as the Ohio at Pittsburg, leaves the
upper plateau of British Guiana by a
leap Of TAI feet into the deep canyon.
DR.. Eigenmann assembled the Potaro,
led by Indians in canoes, until he
came near the falls. Leaving his frail
craft behind him, he climbed to the
highlands, explored the vicinity of the
falls, obtained new boats from the
natives and continued southwark along
the upper reaches of the river. His
aim was to ascertain whether there
existed on the broad highlands diff
ferent fauna from that found in the
lowlands. To some extent he found
this to be the case.
The book will BIO an important con-
tribution to the ichtyology of South
America.

DOG TELEPHONES FOR HELP
Locked In Store, Rover YeIps Into In

East Orange, N. J.-Rover, yellow

city, called help when 1t found itself
locked up in the shop, by knocking
down the telephone, calling central,
and then sending such noises over the
wire that the telephone operator sent
word to the police that something was
wrong in the shop. The result was
that policeman was sent there and
the dog was released. Rover, in his
efforts to reconcile himself to his i'm
prisonment, had eaten most Of Bel
lottrs backing He also had reduced
the shop to condition of unprecedent-
ed disorder.
One of the girls in the telephone ex-
change was nodding near the switch
board early when a call came from
the Bellotti telephone.
"Hello!" she said
There was no human response, but
she heard coming over the wire q
whining and snarling noise, and at in
tervals, the sound of things falling.
Once she thought she heard human
being pleading for mercy, and imme
diately afterward came a gurgling
sound. The uncanny noises worked
on her nerves, and she called up po
lice headquarters.

in Bellottis," she said. The noises
there are simply terrible"

Scientific and Literary Work Of
Much Magnitude.
Task Begun Years Ago by Or. c. H..
Eigenmann, Dean Of Graduate School
of Indiana University, Near
Ing Completion.

Pittsburg-A scientific and literary
task of much magnitude, which was
begun several years ago by Mr.. G..
graduate school of Indiana university,
is nearing completion and will appear
in book form in the near future
DR.. Eigenmann is known as an au-
thority upon the fresh water fish Of
South America. August %, 1908. &C.
companied by an assistant, he sail
ed from New York for British Guiana,
South America, arriving in George
town September g. During the fall and
winter following he explored the riv-
ers Of British Guiana and brought
home nearly 10000 specimens.
Selections from every species were
reserved for the Carnegie museum.
The remaining duplicates were distrib-
uted in exchange for collections from
different countries, the exchange be-
ing made with the United States Ma
tional museum, the Field museum Of
Chicago Museum of Comparative FOOL
ogy of Harvard university, the British
museum in London, the Royal museum
in Berlin, the Imperial museum in vi
emma, the Natural museum of France,
and many others. In this way, the
collection of the Carnegie museum has
been greatly enlarged.
One important and interesting re-
suit of Professor Eigenmann's expedi-
ton was the discovery of more than
100 species of fresh water fishes new
to science. These types" made the
Carnegie museum the possessor of
about 5i0 species OF the SOC known.
This is remarkable accomplishment,
in view of the fact that the Carnegie
museum Is the youngest of the world S
great scientific institutions of this
character A type in scientific par
lance Is the particular specimen of
an object in the natural world which
is used as basis for the first scien-
tific description of it.

Adjournment in Week.

This action by the conferees is gen
orally construed as indicating that an
adjournment of this special session
will be reached some time next week.
But there is strong element of
doubt as to this, based upon the re-
port that the senate Democrats have
determined to prevent a vote upon the
cotton bill at this session.
1t is said they will resist every eff
fort to pass the cotton bill, and color
is given to this report by the action
OF Senator Overman of North Caro-
lima, who objected when Senator La
Toilette asked unanimous consent for
vote on the bill Aug. 16. Mr.. La
Toilette then served notice that he
would oppose adjournment until a
vote had been secured. Consequently,
If filibuster over this issue is raised,
adjournment may be postponed be-
yond next week.

SENATE AND HOUSE coNFEREEs
FIX 20 PER CENT DUTY
ON RAW MATERIALS.
WILL PASS BOTH HOUSES
Amended Act Requires Proposed Law
to Take Effect on Oct. TO-
Adjournment in
Week.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - After eight
hours of conference, the conferees OF
both houses of congress effected a
complete agreement on the wool bill
and began consideration of the free
list bill The conferees worked with
their coats off, and for the first time
in history the press was invited to be
present.
The wool bill, as agreed upon, was
reported to the senate by Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin, and to the
house by Representative Underwood.
They will direct the course Of the
bill in those two bodies. AS the
house has the papers bearing upon
the bill, that body will have to act
first. 4
The bill was so amended as to re-
quire that the proposed law shall
take effect Oct. 1 instead of Jan. 1,
as provided in the senate and house
measures. The conferees hope to
have the report adopted in both
it's course to the White House, where
the president is expected to veto it.
Agreement Cause for Veto.
It was asserted by supporters Of
President Tafts administration that
the agreement reached on the wool
bill, which represents a change of ap-
proXimately 10 per cent, by both the
Democrats and insurgent Republicans
in the tariff proposed on wool, will
be text on which the president may
hang veto, showing that there can
be nothing like accuracy in the fig
ures proposed.
He will be able to show that more
information is needed when the SEN
ate proposition for wool duty is first
fixed at 40 per cent, then scaled to
35 per cent, and the house rate of 20
per cent is raised to 20 per cent. In
other words, the president is expected
to show that expediency, rather than
the real needs of the government as
to revenues or the industries as to
protection, has governed in this tariff
making.
After fixing 20 per cent ad valorem
as the duty on raw wool and chang
ing the wool classification so as to
conform to the language of the house
bill, the agreement on other features
became a matter of detail. At times
there were sharp differences of opin-
ion, but at no time was disagree
ment on that measure threatened.

Carpet Wool Rates UP.

The change of classification has the
effect of fixing fiat duty on all woods
and while it reduces the rates on or
binary woods from 35 per cent, as pro-
yided in the senate BILL and increases
those of the house bill from 20 per
cent, it also increases the rates on
carpet woods from 10 per cent as pro-
vided in the senate bill to the go per
cent fixed by the conferees.
In most respects the duties on the
manufactures of wool were increased
over the rates of the house bill and
reduced below those of the senate bill
SO as to make them correspond with
the raw wool rates, but in some in
stances they were made higher than
those of either measure.
After the disposal of the wool bill
the free list bill was laid before the
conference. The free list bill was un-
der consideration for about Is min
ates, but the conflict between the rep
resentatives of the two houses was so
pronounced that it became necessary
to postpone action.
