Animal Life on Venus.

'"There are many physical reasons
for thinking that if any other plane,
besides the earth is inhabited it is
probably Venus" says Professor Pick
ering. 1T 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 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"

know the principal features OF our
state law relating to cholera. ana the

good, and not for public Inconvenience
or persecution. as farmers sometimes
think
The Minnesota law provides, con.
corning reporting, tina, anyon. who
knows of or has good reasons to sus
pect the existence of any contagious
or infectious disease in any domestic
animal shall Immediately report the
same to his local health officer; and
the local health officer, in turn, mus,
report within twenty-four hours to the
state live stock sanitary board.
There is severe penalty provided
for the man who knows OF infectious
disease and does not report to his To-
cal health officer or to the state board
and also a penalty for the local health
officer who neglects to report to the
state board. Each days neglect con
stitutes a separate Offense. Hog-chol
era is, OF course, included under I'm
fictitious disease" and this phase OF
the law necessarily and wisely applies
to this disease
Our Minnesota law provides ex.
plicitly that carcasses of hogs that
have died Of any disease, shall be
buried under at least three feet OF
dirt. Carcasses of hogs that have
died of any disease must not be sold
or offered FOR sale, or transported
along any public highway, under pen.
atty. 1t is definitely illegal for an
owner to permit sick hogs to run at
large
Owners are expressly authorized by
the Minnesota law to post quarantine
notices, in self protection, in case
cholera prevails in the neighborhood

sanitary board provide that unauthor.

antined pens and yards; that hogs
must not be removed from quaran.
tined pens excepting under written
permission from the state board. The
official period of quarantine is six
months; but it may be terminated
sooner by written permission from the
secretary of the state live stock san.
itary board. Persons on quarantined
farms where the disease exists must
keep away from hog-pens and yards
on uninfected farms.
All public stock-yards are Off cially
declared as probably infected with
hog-cholera. Hogs must not be re.
moved from public stock-yards, except
for shipment by rail and for slaughter
This means that hogs coming In for
some farm must not go through the
public stock-yards. Hogs imported in.

must come in other than stock-cars:
for stockcars are recognized by
sanitary authorities as liable at any
time to be infected with cholera

Lone Hill Life Station, l.. l., April s.
-Transshipment of passengers from
the Princess Irene was begun at 1
p. M, when a surf boat bearing fifteen
women left the Irene's lee side and
headed away for the relief ship Prinz
Frederick Wilhelm. The Princess
Irene had hoisted signals at 1915
which asked that boats be sent to her
suitable for transferring passengers
at sea-
Preparations to take off the Irene's
passengers went forward expeditiously
all during the morning. Captain Frank
Roke of the Blue Point Life Saving
station went out to the Irene in a surf
boat, carrying breaches buoy line,
which was attached to the bow of the
Irene. This was done as an emergen-
cy measure, in case a storm develops
The Irene looked like an immense
spider in a web of tow lines which
radiated from her stem and stern to
the bobbing fleet of revenue cutters
and tugs. Near noon, as the tide be-
gan to flood strongly, the Irenes big
propeller began churning the sea,
while the tugs strained laboriously to
free the steamship from the shoals

fast
Rescue Plans Completed.
An accommodation ladder has been
let down on the lee side of the Irene,
down which the passengers will be
taken to the boats for transfer to the

the passengers from the stranded
steamer were being shaped as the
Prinz Frederick Wilhelm approached
from the harbor on her mission of res.

message from the Prinz Frederick Will.

out, and which was picked up here.
The Prinz Frederick Wilhelm Off.
GERS in the message inquired if the
Irene would send her passengers off in
her own boats. 1t also asked the
Irenes officers to have each passenger
bring his supper food with him and to
give all the passengers their noon
meal on board.
There was not, and is not now, the
slightest sign of panic or excitement
among the passengers. They have
eaten Their meals regularly, and have
been entertained by band concerts.
