There are few men more prominent
ly in the public eye in England at
the moment than John Burns, who
will introduce the pure milk bill into
Parliament at the opening fthe next
session. For years past he has been
waging war against consumption and
infantile mortality due to impure milk
and if his bill becomes law it will eff
feet every household in the United
Kingdom
How John Burns came to reach
Parliament at all is a story of steady
progress. From a small lodging on
the Surrey side of the river a youth
looked out of the bedroom window
many years ago and saw the light
burning steadily in the clock tower
at Westminster, Parliament was sit
ting. Another youth was doing in
bed in the far corner of the room.
ALEC" said the first youth, still look
ing out of the window, you see that
Light" What about it," sleepily an
swered Alec. Some day l shall be
working under that clock"
1t was a bold statement for one who
was earning a few shillings a week in
a factory, and it thoroughly aroused
the other. What do you mean?' he
asked when ! am in Parliament,
was the reply Don't talk rot" said
Alec, and went to sleep again. The
youth who looked out of the window
is now a Cabinet Minister-John
Burns, NJ. p.
John Burns's bent was engineering,
and as a young man he was sent out
to the Niger, where he got a post as
a foreman to the Niger Company. Out
there at the same time was another
young engineer named Parkins One

If somebody declared, with every
evidence Of truthfulness, that he saw
a sea serpent disporting himself off
the coast, not only would there be a
laugh, but there would be sarcastic
remarks about prohibition not prohi-
biting. The teller of the story would
be warned against visiting speak
easies and blind tigers, and would be
advised to take the gold cure.
The story of sea serpent arriving
off a seaside Sumner resort and MAX
ing faces at the bathers was good
twenty years ago When it first made
its appearance the press agents of all
the resorts along the Atlantic coast
eagerly seized upon it, and for the few
years following every reputable re-
sort had its visiting sea serpent.
But like many good things, the sea
serpent yarn became worn out. No
longer did the press agents pounce
upon it with avidity and try to get
it by the editorial incredulity. A per-
son who seriously says he saw a
strange sea monster nowadays would
be regarded with pity. He would be
considered either a harmless idiot or
relic Of the past.
Yet there is hardly a shipmaster
who comes to big port who at some
stage of his career has not seen what
he at first believed to be a strange
serpent of the sea. Sailors of the old
days firmly believed that such an ami
NAL existed, and, though the modern
seafarer takes no stock in the belief,
e has nevertheless seen things which
he could not account for at once.
What usually looks like a sea SER
pent is a long mass of gulf weed,
blown together and carried along on
the surface of the sea, undulating with
the waves and giving the impression
of a long serpent under way. Time
and again these have been seen, and
there has been many a man who
caught his breath before he had time
to figure out what it was.
Sailormen do not usually talk about
these strange sights. If you ask them
Something about the mysteries of the
deep that they have encountered they
will be inclined to declare that there
is nothing mysterious at sea but the
amount of work they are expected to
do. Most things that would be re-

YOUNG Mr.. HARVARD IS
CRITICIzNG THE UNIVERSITY

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 10
Lionel de Jersey Harvard, who is now
a full-hedged student at the great
university which his ancestors cousin,
John Harvard founded, finds many
things at the university that are not
in accordance with his views of col
lege life as exemplifed by the GUS
toms of the English universities. He
said today that could John Harvard
come to earth he would be surprised,
both agreeably and disagreeably.
John Harvard would be surprised,
says the English youth, could he see
the university that I have seen, for he
intended a far simpler institution |

Family traditions prompt me to say
that my ancestral kinsman did not
plan a school of such grandeur, and
that had he lived to guide its destinies
quietness and study would have been
the rule rather than elegance and
play.

the college had grown into such a
great institution, and would be proud

ners in answer to one wrote him.
There was something | wished to ask
him which" She hesitated for the
fraction of moment.
"George"-there was an appeal n
the tone-'I am going to ask you
something. Don't do what you will
come to regret; don't try to destroy
my belief in myself by not trusting
me. You know in your heart that
| have never done anything of which
a woman need be afraid or ashamed
to own. My friendship for Jack has
been one which you have shared, one
against which you have never had the
slightest cause to complain"
Orbury raised his eyebrows
Then you can tell me what it was
you wished to ask Manners so par
ticularly that it involved breaking
your word to me-"
George, if you knew, you'd see
how absurdly wrong your jealousy
makes you toward me. Can't you
believe me when l tell you from my
heart that there was nothing in the
letter"
Then you can let me judge for
myself" He took a quick step TO-
ward her, but her fingers closed
around the envelope.
81 don't want to show it to you,
George, and I swear there's no harm
in it-nothing that could possibly
give you the right to treat me like
this"
A short laugh broke from Orbury.
The right! So when you can't tell
lie in one way you expect me to
believe one in another" He paused,
thrust his hands deep in his pockets,
and went back to his post at the
mantel shelf. Very well, then,
won't ask to see it. There's another
way out of the difficulty: You shall
read it out to me. Now 90 on"
Seeming to preen himself with a
kind of savage self-satisfaciion, or
bury did not see the quick look OF
relief which passed across his wifea
face. Then she read quietly, evenly;

brought it up and they dragged him
aboard There were no spirits aboard
to revive him, so he did the next best
thing He went down into the cabin
and ate the better part of a roast

He returned to England and got an
other billet. Then poverty looked in

not long, however. but just long
enough for him to learn what "out
of a job" meant to his fellow work
ers He spent the time studying, ana
when he tumbled into work again he
went hot and strong for public speak
ing. He was up at 3 in the morn
ing and went down to the East End
in the damp and chill to give two
or three speeches before going back
to the West End in time to be at his
post at s O'Clock. There was no
holding him in; in a short time he
was known to almost every factory
worker in London Then came the
great dock strike of 1889. Burns was
there with a red flag. 1t was the
trouble in Trafalgar Square that
brought him and another well-known
man taste of prison. Burns got
through the police Gordon when every
one else failed to do so. The crowd
went on to Hyde Park, where the real
trouble began. and though he was
not responsible for any riotous be-
havior, which was directly against
his policy, he was arrested only to be
acquitted. Among the relics he still
treasures is the straw hat he wore
during the strike.

garded as mysteries by shore.going
folk receive from them an explana-
ton.
The gulf weed is blamed for the
sea serpent yarn This weed is a
long plant with little leaves branch
ing from a central stalk and having
the appearance of berries. 1t is found
anywhere in the Gulf Stream, and it
is supposed to have it's first growth
in the Sargasso Sea, that stretch Of
still water where the currents of the
Atlantic come together and into which
all the derelicts and flotsam and jet
sam of the ocean finally drift.
1t is popularity supposed that the
Sargasso Sea is thick with the marine
weed, which becomes detached some
times by the winds and grows as it
floats along on the currents. In the
Gulf Stream the weed is particularly
thick. and is often found in patches
covering an area of several acres.
Occasionally, when there is a large
mass of the weed floating along the
Gulf Stream the wind drives it to-
gether until it becomes a long, com
pact mass. 1t masses itself closer
under the influence of the wind and
the rise and fall of the sea until it
moves along with all the appearance
of a serpent
Many of the vessels that come to
Atlantic ports have seen formations
of the weed near the American coast,
and have for minute really thought
the NEUROLOGICAL sea serpent was not
a myth after all. After the object has
been seen at closer range, or has been
examined through the binoculars, it
is seen to be only trail Of weed,
often 100 or more feet long.
Captain A. ]. Whyte, of the British
steamer Administer, which left not
long ago for Colon with a lot of dyna-
mite in her hold, once saw this weed
in such a shape that he almost got
the Jolt of his life. 1t was not until
he had had a good close look that
he was convinced that Il vas not a
marine monster
1t was in the steamer Katharine, in
which, it will be remembered, Captain
Whyte rescued the crew of the sun
ken schooner George A. McFadden in
a gale off Hatteras, that the sea ser
