According to tradition, ZENITH, the
legendary king of Scotland, was al
lured to his death in a most novel man
ner Zenith had slain a son and broth
er of Fennella, who to be avenged or
dered Wiltus, famous silversmith, to
construct a death dealing statue of sill
yer. In its right hand the statue held
a basin and in the left hand an apple
of pure gold, both set with diamonds
and other precious stones. To touch
the apple was to defy death, 1t being
so arranged that any one guilty Of
such vandalism would be Immediately
riddled by poisoned arrows shot from
openings in the body Of the statue.
ZENITH was invited to inspect the won
der, and, as Fennella had hoped, he
tried to pluck the precious imitation
fruit. When his hand touched the ap-
pie he was wounded by the arrows and
died where he fell.

Animal Life on Venus.

'There are many physical reasons
for thinking that If any other planet
besides the earth is inhabited it is
probably Venus" says Professor Pick
ering. "It is about the same size as
the earth, and its density is about the
same. The force of gravity upon its
surface is only slightly less than that
on the earth. The temperature on
Venus is probably the same as in our
own tropics, and the dense atmos-
phere may be of a composition such
as enveloped the earth when in the
carboniferous period. AS to the ex-
istence of intelligent life, the question
is still open. If it Is ever established
that the planet Venus is inhabited it
will be less surprising than if the same
were proved conclusively of any other
planet, owing to the similarity in
many respects of Venus and the
earth"

The Romans had three recognized
methods of applauding-the bombus,
the imbrices and the testae. The word
bombus did not carry any allusion to
explosives. On the contrary, this form.
of applause was the most decorous, in
asmuch as it consisted merely of q
humming or buzzing noise. Thus in a
way the Romans were the first "to
make thinss hum in public assem-
bly,. The bombus was not the chief
feature the Romans had to offer in the
way Of applause. The imbrices meant
demonstra ton made with the hollow
of the hands. The testae meant the
striking together of the fat portions of
the hands. From this we may con-
clude that the Romans clapped, but
there is no certainty on this point

FOur-yea.Old Eddie BlrTeIl
Falls In ManhOIe.
HARBOR SERGEANT TO RESCUE
While Chasing a Puppy Child Plungcs
Into Dark Vault and Is Carried

New York, March S.-When the doc
tor patted Eddie Burrell on his wet
curls and said. Now, kiddie, l guess
we'll have you all right again SOON,
Eddie opened his eyes for just an in
stant and then resolutely closed them
tight. For Eddie believed that dead
peoples eyes are shut, and he knew
that he was dead.
How near to death he really had
been this four-year-old youngster will
probably be told when he grows up.
He was for an hour and fifteen min
utes in the black vault of the sewer
under Eighty-sixth street with the
freezing water tapping his chin and
with the river mouth of the sewer less
than block away. Policemen search
ed the cavern only for his body. They
found Eddie alive and with his face
turned toward the light.
Eddie is the son of Edward Burrell
and lives at 800 East Ninetieth street
Eddie's mother went to call on a friend
and took Eddie along. They walked
down East End avenue, Mrs. Burrell
chatting with an acquaintance, whom
she Joined on the street. At East

the manhole off, and he was pushing
piles of slush into the mouth of the

Just as the street cleaner had gone
to the other side Of the street puppy
dog came down the street. Mrs. Bur
rell and her friend had passed the
open manhole and were stepping on to
the curb across the street when Eddie
made dash to capture the puppy.
Mrs. Burrell turned to look for him,
but she did not see him. But she did
see the round Black hole in the middle
OF the asphalt and yellow puppy
standing at the edge, with head cooked
looking down into the blackness. The

The stree. sweeper said that he had

ARMY TO MEXICO.
Force of 10000 Men Be-
ina Rushed to Border.
ONLY WAR GAME, SAY OFFICIALS
British Demands For Protection From
lnsurrectos In Chihuahua Given as
/ Reason by Outsiders to Pro-
tect Americans.

Washington, March S-An army of
approximately 10000 men, represent
ing all branches Of the service, is mo-
bilizing along the Mexican border of
the United States. 1t is officially stat
ed-and the administration made spe-
sial efforts to substantiate the state
nent-that the sole purpose Of this un-
usual mobilization was maneuvers on
a grand scale for the training of Off
GERS and men.
While every effort was made in Off
sial circles here to give this great
movement the appearance of simple
preparation for maneuvers, there were
persistent rumors that the government
was preparing for more serious rrou-
HE.
Confidential reports from Mexico of
late have encouraged the belief of
many that conditions in the Mexican
government are far from being as sat
isfactory as official assertions seek to
indicate. Immense foreign interests
are at stake In Chihuahua, for exam
pie, and their owners have been very
uneasy as to what would happen to
them in case Of widespread disorders.
There was report in Washington
that urgent representations had been
made to the state department that un-
less the United States government i'm
mediately made adequate preparations
to protect American and foreign inter
ests in northern Mexico appeal would
hn ho1 ,4ka aI, H.
Great Britain to do 80.
The United States interests in Mex
leo have been estimated as high as
$1,50o,O00000, and the protection OF
these interests would alone account
for the mobilizing Of troops if the OIL
cials of this government were con
vinced that the Mexican government
might not be able TO cope with the sit
uation. There is, however, another
consideration which undoubtedly has
Influenced the president and the state
department officials to make this for
midable demonstration. Great Britain
also has extensive railroad and mining
interests In Mexico. The Pearson syn
dicate, large British constructing
firm, has complained bitterly to that
government Of interference by insur-
rectos In chihuahua. The company
asked the British government to eX-
tend protection, which 1t has failed to
receive from the government of Mex
leo.
The general impression in Washing
ton is that the attitude of the British
government has had good deal to do
with the sudden decision on the part
Of the war and navy department Off
eials.
The troops at Galveston will be un-
der the command Of Brigadier General
A. L. Mills. The troops in the Los
Angeles district will be commanded
by Brigadier General Taslzer II. Bliss
Major General William H. Carter
will command the provisional division.

The Touch Chicken.

There are several ways of transform
ing a venerable fowl into a respectable
family piece de resistance. In fact by
the following method such fowls have
been made as tender as spring chick
ems: Let the bird, after drawing, seat
soning and stuffing, simmer until over
half done. Then place it in the oven
with piece of pork laid over its
breast. Pour the liquor over and
around the roast in the pan. Finish
the cooking i'll a very hot oven, bast-
ing frequently with the drippings
When ready to serve skim off any su-
perhuous fat that may be in the pan
before preparing the gravy. The pork
prevents the fowl from becoming dry,
and if a small onion is also added it
will have more savory flavor. The
simmering lessons its toughness. In
fact, slow simmering is just the thing
for any tough meat, but it should sim
mer, not boil. Boiling will toughen
the tenderest of meat

London, March S.-Newspapers here
give great prominence to the cables
announcing the mobilization Of the
American troops on the Mexican from
tier and the rumored action of the
British government in asking the
United States to protect British inter
ssts in Mexico.
The report of the British govern
ment's action was received too late to
be verified, but the Morning Post edi-
torially says that this would be the
natural result of the recent interpreta-
tion of the Monroe doctrine and its
acceptance by the European powers.
1t adds that should the United States
see fit to send an army into Mexico it
would hardly be within the power Of
the American government to limit the
consequences of its Intervention. 1t
would in all probability open a fresh
chapter in American history. The in
tervention in the Cuban disturbances
gave fresh accentuation to the national
policy Of the United States and inter
Vention in Mexico could hardly be less
far reaching in its results.

Albany, N. T., March S.-The strength
of William F. Sheehan, the Democratic
caucus candidate for United States
senator, was identically the same when
the result Of the last joint ballot was
announced as 1t was during the several
weeks before Governor Dix wrote his
letter last Friday. Disappointment was

the Sheehan forces remained steadfast
1t demonstrated more than ever the
genuineness Of the strength of Shee-
han from a personal as well as from a
party standpoint.

that the OSbornes and members Of the
''kitchen cabinet" of Governor Dix
who persuaded the governor to write
the letter aimed at the elimination Of
Sheehan from the contest upon the pre-
tense that it would disintegrate the
Sheehan support really needed the Dix
letter in order to permit them to head
