A TIMELY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON

Washington, d. c., July 15.--It is
news to most people that the Inter
state Commerce Commission has I'M
dertaken the investigation of the ex.
press companies. The announcement
that this policy has just been decided
on is misleading, for the commission
has had men in the field for months
making searching inquiry into the
business methods of the companies
AS result of this investigation, 1t is
believed, the carriers under investi-
cation filed new schedules which are
probably intended to meet some Of
the more serious complaints regarding
the manner of conducting the express
business. 1t has been contended for
a long time that the express monopoly
was making excessive profits. 1t will
crafty the public If something can
be done to insure more equitable char
ges for service and better protection
to the customers of the companies.
The Sheep Census.
According to the Census Bureau,
the sheep industry has not shown any
material change since the last cen
sus in 1900. Excluding lambs, because
of the difference in the time of year
when the census was taken, it is
shown that there we're 39,470,312 wool
producing sheep in 1910, as compared
with 39,S52,967 for 1900. Corrected
figures are expected to show an ac'
tual decrease of about l per cent
from 1900. Taking the returns by geo.
graphical divisions, there was de-
crease of about 100000 sheep in tue
North Atlantic division, in the South
Atlantic division there was de
crease of about $4,000, and in the
South Central division the decrease
was about 10000. In the North Cen
trail division there was scarcely any
change, 1O,O6S,451 being reported IN
1910, or only some $4,000 more this 7
in 1900 The Western division show

the president to invite Latin-Ameri-

"Man-Shy" Birds More Difficult te
Keep Alive Than Any Other
knds-Other Problems.

LondOn-Problems that have to be
faced in keeping alive the animals at
the Geological society's gardens
formed the subject of a most interest
ing address given at the Royal institu-
ton by DR.. P S. Mitchell, secretary of
the society
Two great dangers that confronted
wild animals in freedom, he said, did
not exist at the zoo-death at the
hands of other wild animals and star
walton.
A curious feature was the heavy
mortality among British birds in cap
tivity 1t was heavier than that of
birds from distant lands.
Explorers in those lands described
the complete absence of shyness in
birds and animals 1t was not so with
English birds and animals, for in in
hablted countries the only chance a
wild animal had of life was to be
"man-Shy"
English birds and animals had there
fore acquired this intolerance Of
man" That was why they took so
long to get used to keepers and visit
ors and why the mortality was so
heavy.
Another difficulty was the change OF
diet. Take the gorilla. for instance.

for gorfllas, so the hunters caught

EARTH THRESHOLD
So Says Prof. Otto KIotz of Do
minion Observatory.
Globe Went Spinning Through HeaV-
ems as Gigantic Tetrahedron-life
Pushed Here From Some Part
of Universe by Pressure.

Ottawa, Ont-The earth once was
the shape Of three-sided. hat-headed
top and went spinning through the
heavens as a gigantic tetraheofon, &C
cording to Prof Otto klotZ of the Do
miniOn Observatory, writing in the
Journal of the Royal Astronomical So
ciety of Canada.
The shape was assumed just after
the globe had taken on a more solid
form. Under the tendency of contrac-
ton the stresses and strains followed
the lines of least resistance. The
tetrahedron is one of the regular geo
metrical solids which has the least
volume for given surface. AS
tetrahedron the planet had four cor
ners, six edges and four surfaces, the
edges manifesting themselves as noun
tains and the surfaces as depressioEs,
and hence oceans.
We know" says Professor KlotZ,
that the South Pole is surrounded by
land, which corresponds to an apex
Of the tetrahedron, while opposite to
it is a surface equivalent to a depres
sion, or ocean. In the tetrahedrOn
every corner has a surface opposite it,
so that for the earth this would mean
that land and water are antipodal,
which is fairly we'll represented in the
actual conditions. Another result
would be that the land masses would
be broad in the northern hemisphere
and taper toward the south, which also
agrees with our geography
"Inversely, the oceans should con-
tract toward the south, a condition
fairly we'll borne out The north polar
sea being represented by surface of
the tetrahoidal figure and the south
polar one by corner. 1t would follow
that the fiattening OF the earth in the
southern hemisphere would be less
than In the northern, and furthermore
that the force of gravity would in
crease less rapidly toward the South
Pole than toward the North Pole.
Both these considerations have been
confirmed by geodetic and pendulum
observations"
Answering the question as to how
life first got on earth, Professor Klotz

his experience, as follows:
II became satisfied some months
ago that l owed the palpitation Of the
heart from which | suffered almost
daily, to the use OF coffee, Il had been
a coffee drinker for 80 years. but
found it very hard to give up the bev-

to be prepared-by thorough boiling

After | learned that lesson there was
no trouble.
Postum proved to be most palat-
able and satisfactory hot beverage,
and l have used it ever since.
THE effect on my health has been
most salutary The heart palpitation
from which | used to suffer so much,
particularly after breakfast, has dis
appeared and never have return OF
it except when I dine or lunch away

italy Purchases Halls Built by
DiOCIetian.
Unique Edfice Dating Back to E. o.
sos to Assume Its Original Mag
nficcnce-Many Antiquities
on Exhibition.

Rome--A pleasant surprise now
awaits the visitor on his arrival in
Rome. Even those who never have
ben here know by report the baths OF
Dioc1etian, that huge monument Of
antiquity which originally covered a
space of mile square and accommo-
dated 1000 bathers The baths were
built by the Emperor Diocletian, and
his co-regent Maximilian in A. d. 30o.
There stand on the site several
churches including tn magnificent one
of Santa Maria degr Angel, into
which the sudatorium and terpirarlum
of the baths were converted by Michel
angelo. 1t was here that the mar
riage Of the present king was cele-
brated. Since the baths fell into de-
cay after the Gothic invasion Of A. D.
41O the vast halls which remain have
been divided into comparatively
small rooms. and built into the corners
of the great building were little wine
shops, stables and fifth-rate inns.
Strange as it may appear, after pass
ing through the hands Of many pro
prietOrs the largest part of the baths
belonged until last year to Sgr Tit
toni, the ex-minister of foreign af-
fairs, who was for some time ambas-
sador in London, and is now in Paris.
The government had to purchase the
land and buildings from him, and then
evicted those who desecrated this
sacred spot. This noble monument
has now been restored to its orig
inal magnifcence.
In this unique edifice will be held
an exhibition OF antiquities and copies
of antique objects and monuments sent
from all parts of the ancient Roman
empire. For instance, Hispania-Lusi-
tania, among many other interesting
objects, have sent an almost complete
series Of their municipal laws en-
graved on bronze tablets. Gallia has
provided models Of the best-known
monuments of Provence, casts of the
most famous sculptures, and collec-
ton of war engines which illustrates
the celebrated siege OF Alesia.
Germania sends the Carlovingian
group OF bronzes of Aquisgarana, the
