a case of illegal imprisonment. without a particle of justification or excuse. Clearly someone will have to pay heavy damages. It is reported that the father of the child mentioned intends to marry the mother if he has not already done so. But if the two can be sued, prose- cuted. and cast into a dungeon cell to- gether, they can presumably only be married together But, then, the twins have widely divergent tastes and tempers in all probability with regard to hus- bands, as on most matters.
 An appeal issued by the leaders of the radical party calling upon their follow CTS to complete their organization with out loss of time is but one of many shadows which the coming Reichstag elections cast before them. The prophets who interpret the utterances of the oracle of the WiIhelmstrasse have been busy forecasting the fateful day. It has been variously stated that the edections will be held in the summer, in the autumn. and next January. Therefore all that one can predict with certainty Is that the elections must take place be- fore January 25 next. There are req sons for believing the government thinks the advancing democratic wave is more likely to lose than 10 gain in volume.

DELHI CEREMONY
 VERY EXPENSIVE

London, April 1.-(Speeial) ! That a1 ,OOO,O00 is to be spent on the coronation 6urbar in India gives an idea of the mag nificent character of the ceremonies that are being arranged and the gorgeousness of the scenes in which the King and Queen will be the central figures at Delhi. Everything is to be done on a scale of unexampled splendor as befits the first visit of king-emperor and his consort to the vast territory over wficA they reign.
 Although the date of the durbar is not yet officially announced, there is no doubt that it will be on December F this year. The first intention was to have it in January next, but that was abandoned because of the night climax in Delhi in that month and the possibility of rain. The date of December 12 has the advan- tage of falling before the commencement of the great Mohammedan fast of Mohur- rum. It was also intended at first that the ceremony should take place in the fort at Delhi, but that proposal was quickly abandoned, his majesty deciding that the same site should be used as in 1877 and 1903
 gigantic amphitheatre will be con structed for the ceremony. The decora- tions will be or a lavish scale, and the actual service will include the placing of their crowns on their own heads by the King and Queen. Nothing of the kind has been seen since Napoleon the Great placed upon his head the Iron Crown of Lombardy. A considerable portion of the royal regalia will be- conveyed to India. including both crowns.
 Their maiesties are selecting a large suite to accompany them. and they will travel in liner specially chartered for the occasion with a powerful escort of war vessels. They will proceed to Bombay and from there direct to Del hi. Lord Hardinge who has received many addresses from all the Indian races expressing joy lat the prospect of the visit of the King, goes to Delhi
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-04-02

next month to discuss the final ar
 engagements for the durbar. He will
 meet there the committee appointed by his majesty of which the president is
 Sir John Hewett, and the members are
 the Maharajah of Gwalior. Bikaner and ldar and the Nawab of Rampore; all the honorary aides -de-camp to his
 majesty; Sir T. R. Wynne, foreign sec- i retary; Colonel Cox, Colonel Bamber. Colonel Maclagan, Lieutenant Colonel Maxwell, w. M. Hailey, Lieutenant Col
 onel Grimshon, Lieutenant Colonel c. F. T. Murray and F. V. Gabriel.
 The location of the camps is to be again between the famous ridge and the
 canal. There is ample space availa ble
 there and the selection of the ground is due to the desire to make the royal
 camp for the King and Queen one of unparalleled magnificence. Close to 1t will be the camps of the ruling chiefs
 and that of the government of India Apart from the actual durbar there will be. other imposing ceremonies. These include the arrival and passage of the King and Queen and their de- parture. There will be processions
 through the city for which the route is not yet settled, but to facilitate
 movement and nter-communication a circular railway is to be built.
 Four divisions of infantry and two
 divisions of cavalry with quota of imperial service troops are to be mobil- ized for the durbar, and there will be encamped close to Delhi between 5000 and 9O000 men. The Maharajah of Gwalior has sent his company of sap pers and miners and his transport corps to assist in making the necessary camp works
 Calcutta has voted Rs. 25,000 (E1666)
 for casket for the King. An invita- tion to his majesty from the Maharajah
 of Nepaul to shoot big game has been given.

NEW BLOOD TEST PLAN
 TO DETECT CRIMINALS

Philadelphia, April 1. - tSpecial) = Through the examination of the blood of hundreds of animals, including even that of man. Dr. Edward T. Reichert, pro lessor of physiology in the University of Pennsylvania, has found method for the recognizing of any species of animal by It's blood This discovery has developed a new proof of Darwlns theory of evO- lution It also promises to play an im- portant part in the detection of crimi- nals
 In a recent test Dr. Reichert succeeded fin distinguishing between the blood of a brown rat, an albino of the same spe- ces, a gray and black rat respective iy. Four drops of blood were sent to him unaccompanied by any clew to their iden- tity except that they were labeled 1. ,, and 4. By applying his method Dr. Reichert was able to tell to what kind of rat each drop of blood belonged.
 To do this pr. Reiehert edystalized the hemoglobins of the blood. The hema- gobin is the substance which colors the blood. It takes the oxygen from the lungs and carries it through the arteries of the body People who are anaemic have not enough memoglobin
 Dr. Reiehert submitted the hemoglobn to a process which caused it to form into crystals somewhat similar in appearance to the delicate filaments of ice which in the first cold of winter spread over tine lakes and ponds. The crystals of hemo- globin were barely visible to the naked eye, but they formed prisms which re fected all the colors of the rainbow.

LOST HER LOVER
 ON WEDDING DAY

St. Petersburg. April IA tragic story is reported from the little town of Holoskvitsa, in Russian Poland, of a young girl who lost her lover on the day that had been fixed for the wedding
 Ivan Marchon. the son of a wealthy landowner at Smolina, was to have been married to Katrina Ritkaned, and great preparations were being made in the girl s home for the celebration of the event. On Sunday afternoon Marchon left Smo- lima to ride to Holoskvitsa. distance of several miles, and he was never seen again alive.
 The guests assembled for the weddings but waited in vain for the bridegroom. Finally the bride, who could not endure the suspense any longer, left with her father and a party of friends to drive in the direction of Smoina, in the hope of seeing the missing lover.
 When they had gone half way they found the young man lying dead in the snow beside his horse. The girl was taken home in an unconscious condition and it is feared that her mind has been unhinged by the shock.

The New Theatre

From Harper's Weel<lsaad
 The announcement of the failure or the New theatre, which, after loss of nearly half a million dollars, upon run ming expenses, will,eif possible, be di- verted to the uses of opera, although that result was nots unexpected, causes profound regret. From the day when the house was opened, however, it has been clearly apparent to experienced on- servation that the failure of the enter prise was Inevitable. "Ig think we shai last about a year." said one of t4e founders on the afternoon of November {. 19U9 when the New theatre was dec icated and his prophetic surmise has been exactly confirmed. According to official announcement and newspaper comment thereon the founders of the New theatre attribute the collapse of their enterprise to the unsuitable form and scharacter of the building. but they are entirely satisfied with the way their theatre has been conducted, and they purpose to build a new one, in a more accessible location, providing it with subsidy which will make it independent of immediate remuneration.
 The ascription of the failure to the un- fness of the building for dramatic rep resentations is rational, but it seems singular that the obvious defect of unfit ness was not discerned the moment the plans were submitted to inspection. Such a building should never have been erect ed for such a purpose It is an opera house and it was instantly recognized as such. The enormous sum of S3OO0,O0O was, it is understood, expended for the land and the edif1ce. That amount of money would have suffced not only to provide theatre adapted for dram atic performances, but so to endow it that, properly managed. it might have been carried on. season after season. even though nothing were paid for ad- mission to it. The waste of money at the New theatre has been no less ab- surd than unnecessary. y-

of the University of Pennsylvania. pr. Reiehert placed the hemoglobin crystals in polariscope. which is an instrument used to tell the compositions of a sub stance by means of the light which it reflects In this way pr. Reichert learned the composition of the various crystals of hemoglobin.
 He sent to geological societies in every part of the world and from them ob- tanned specimens of the blood of the prin- cipal species of animals. After long series of experiments he found that the composition of hemoglobin of animals of the same species was identical of sim liar species similar and of different species different. Thus the hemoglobin of all cats is the same in composition: of the cat and the tiger similar, but of the cat and the elephant different.
 Darwin advanced the theory of evolu- ton through the observation of differ ences ana sinilarities in the structure of animals. Dr. Reichert has proven the theory to be true by finding correspond ing differences and similarities in the blood. As a little change in the atmos- pleric pressure or in the temperature or in the blood affects the blood, it is easy to understand how gradually great differences in structure came about
 By means of pr. Reichert's discov- cry it will now be possible to distinguish before between human and animal blood, before between human an danimal blood and the detection of criminals where blood is involved will be easier. By fol- lowing along this line of experiment scientists say that it may not be impos- the blood of the white and the negro, the blood of the white an dthe negro, which will still further perfect the means for the detection of criminals.
 Dr. Reichert's discovery will proo- ably revolutionize blood analysis in cases where the hemoglobin is involved.
