Not Negotiating Treaty.

The Mexican ambassador declares that

arrangement until Congress lad indicated

9 TOP FIRE / yHER
Tells Public ii New York Talk An.
nual Needless Waste Reaches
Gigantic Proportions.
REACHES $2.51 PER CAPITA


New York, Mas Startling
figures as to the fire waste Of the
United States were given BY Walter
7. Fisher, secretary Of the Interior,
in an address before the National
Fire Protection Association at the
WaldortAstoria. Equally startling
statements were made as to the re-
.sponsibility of the public for the an
nual ash heap Of nearly $3.50. 900, 900
most Of the fires being preventative.
The official authority given to Sec
Rotary Fishers statements will great
~ strengthen the campaign for the
reduction Of the fire waste, which
has been making rapid progress Of
late in the way Of impressing the
public and the authorities as to the
need of better construction and pro-
lection and greater care for the safe
guarding Of life and property.
IF the government said Secre-
tary Fisher, should suddenly lay an
annual tax of $2.51 on every man,
woman and child in the: United
States on promise Of spending the
money for some useful purpose, that
promise would not avail against the
storm of protest which would be
aroused. Nevertheless, a tax which
in the aggregate amounts to that is
being paid by the people of this
country. 1t is the annual fire loss
of the nation upon buildings and
their contents alone. 1t is expended
not in productive enterprise, but in
death and destruction, and an even
larger sum is annually expended up
on fire protection and insurance
premiums. Not only is this property
loss paid by our people, but in adj
dition annually 1900 persons give
up their lives and nearly 5000 are
injured in fires.
Possibly in no other direction is
the national habit of waste more
clearly exemplified than in the COM
parative indifference with which we
permit such sacrifice. In no other
civilized country are conditions so
bad as they are here"

Miss Cary said, rs women of charac-

There Is everywhere a recognized de-
cline in the standards governing all
forms of social activity, whether in
fhc home, the church, the school or
society.
"A new woman is being developed.
She dresses, perhaps, more tastefully,
even more sensibly; she talks more
easily, she touches life more broadly.
She has a cultivation and an educa-
tion that her mother knew nothing of,
yet with all this there is not the com
mensurate advance in her integrity
and principle. As a result the country
is everywhere suffering"

BONE OF MASTAD0N
Unearthed While Excavating Gel
lar at Albert Lea, Minn.
Presented to Department Of Zoology
at University of Minnesota and
Installed In Museum-Two
other Specimens.

st. Paul, Minn.-A vertebra of a
prehistoric mastodon who roamed the
plains Of Minnesota 100000 years ago,
before the glaciers sweeping down
from the north had devastated the
feeding grounds OF its kind, exhumed
st Albert Lea by workmen excavating
for a cellar. has just been received by
the department Of zoology at the uni
Sersity and installed in the museum.
Discovered in a state where little re-
search work in prehistoric life has
been done. IL is considered by uniyer-
sity specialists as most valuable
contribution to worldwide science.
II is the second discovery of the
kind made in Minnesota. Seven
years ago a knee bone and leg bone
Of a mastodon were found at Brai-
nerd, near White Fish lake, by a
workman digging a ditch, and sent to
the university museum. A year ago
the head OF a mastodon, found near
Valentine, Neb., consisting Of the up
per Jaws, tusks and neck bones, was
sent TO the university, where IL is now
on exhibition. The three exhibits, rep
resenting the different parts of the
body, give a good idea of the size and
shape OF the pre-glacial beast.
The vertebra discovered at Albert
Lea was found 12 feet below the sur
face Of the ground, in the glacial drift,
by Charles f.. May. II Is called the
atlas bone, a vertebra located at the
neck, and is Of enormous size, meas
sring two feet across from shoulder
70 shoulder. From the top of the
neck down II is fully foot deer. The
bone is carefully preserved in every
bling or decay.
Though the excavation at Albert
Lea was prolonged in the hope of dis
covering other parts Of the skeleton,
none was discovered. The absence of
other bones, however, is easily ex-
planned by experts in paleontology
al the university Members Of the de-
partment say carnivorous beasts Of
hat period who preyed upon the mas
;odon may have detached the bone
from the skeleton and carried II TO
the spot where it was found, either TO
eat the meat from 1t or play with II

Liah,nina Rod lnvestl tleation.

There has always been more or less
controversy as to the efficiency OF the
lightning rod, but this matetr is likely
to be settled at no distant time be
yond all question OF doubt. The au
thorlties of the University Of Illinois
have undertaken to do this and have
been at work on the problem for some
time Last summer some valuable
experiments were conducted but the
results were not entirely satisfactory
for the lack of suitable apparatus
During the coming summer the work
will be continued on very elaborate
basis. The use of an open field has
been secured for the entire season
and the investigation will be contin
ued during the entire season in which
thunder storms may be reasonably
expected In this field twelve 4O-foot
poles have been erected. Six OF
these are equipped with devices for
registering the effect OF lightning
strokes at or near the poles. There
is series OF spark gaps with Undue
tion, resistance and capacity figures
so that the lightning may jump across
the gaps or pass aro"nd through
shunt circuits. Any action due to
lightning will be recorded on a NOV
ing strip OF paper driven by clock
work so that the exact time OF the
electrical discharge can be told from
the record. Three of the poles have
been equipped with sharp needle
points and three with brass balls.
