SEA ELEPHANTS EATING NOW
Not Starving as Reported but Had
Lost Their Appetltes

New York. March 25.--Raymond C.
Osburn, Acting Director Of the New
YPork Aquarium is much exercised
over the stories that have appeared in
print that the newly acquired sea
elephants are dying of starvation.
Mr. Osburn said that the sea ele-
plants like the ordinary harbor, do
not eat for a few days after their
arrival.
ut is true" said Mr. Osburn, that
they took little food for a few days,
probably because OF their strange en-.
vironment and the shaking up they
received in their six-day trip from
Southern California For the last
few days, however, they have been
consuming mixed diet OF chopped
cod herring. cells. smelts. and pearl
roach. Their appetites are steadily
improving and there Is no danger OF
losing them through lack of nourish-
ment.
Apparently they are In perfect
health II is a common thing in our
experience that marine animals do
not eat for few days after their ar
rival. In one instance a harbor seal
continued eighteen days without food
when suddenly he recovered his ap

LONG AND SHORT HAUL UP
Commerce Board Hears Railroads APP
pIlcatIon for Relief from Law

Washington. March 25.-In a consld
Grafton OF the Pacific coast cases.
which are being argued before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
this week. the commission Thursday
took up the application OF the rail-
ways for relief under the long and
short haul provision of the existing
law which originated in the Inter
Rocky mountain territory. The appli
cations OF the railways have been
consolidated into thirteen, including
the back.haul charges from inter
mountain territory to Pacific Coast
terminals.
These cases involve, perhaps, the
most bitterly contested long and
short haul questions which will come
before the commission. They involve
the crux Of the long and short haul
provision, and on the decision OF the
commission in these cases will de.
pend very largely the determination
OF all questions arising under Sec.

JACK JOHNSON SUED
Sculptor Wants PugilIst to Pay for
Bust.


New York, March 27.-Jack John
son is again in the courts. A sculp-
tor of the name OF Cartaino Sciarrino
is suing Johnson for $4,000, being Nj.
Sciarrinos honorarium or emolument
for having limned with Michaelic and
Angelic skill a counterfeit present
ment of the beautiful, the classic, the
Apollonian features of the gladiator
himself.
The impressive and affecting thing
about this statue is that 1t is of the
purest white Carrara marble, for
when Johnson, according to the sculp-
tor, ordered the bust, the Reno hero
spoke to him thus: Aware as am,
most noble sir, that the lineaments
of my face are Othellonic, | am not
particularly anxious to have them
handed down to curious posterity
limhed in black marble. You do not
hew the noble lines the powerful
curves of the face of Caesar or an

being the hue of their visages, rather
than pure white. Wherefore should

He went to work. Eftsoons the

Daily, too. did he fash a few million

At each flash Sciarrino received an
other inspiration, and once, after a
flash that lasted one-hundredth part

he conceived the idea of putting tai

One day the sculptor announced
that the masterpiece was "finito.

did he even send for the bust And
the tears of Sciarrino flowed. SO now

MeERscHAuM GOES UP
Price In London Affected by Ameri-

Price In London Affected by Amerl-
can lmportations from Turkey
London, March 25.-The price Of
meerschaum has risen 40 per cent in
London during the last four years
Some dealers say that the rise is due
to the fact that 80 per cent of English
smokers now use briarwood pipes,
where five years ago they used meer-
schalm. In other quarters, however,
II is learned that British dealers find
more and more difficulty in obtaining
meerschaum from Vienna, which is
the great wholesale market for this
"froth OF the sea-" The reason given
is simply this, that America, where
pipe smoking has become a habit,
now imports direct from Constantine
Pile where formerly they used to OBJ
tain meerschaum in Vienna This
procedure has naturally cut down
the Vienna supply.
A certain London firm have In their
possession some display bills OF sew

marvels OF meerschaum, then a nov
