COLLECTION OF ALBINOS
is OPENED AT MUSEUM
Unusual Specimens in the Animal
World Are Hard
to Find.

\ new collection of a novel sort has
been opened in the New National Mu-
scum on the second exhibition floor ad-
joining the District bird collection pre-
sided over by William Palmer. The new
collection is not large but 1t represents
the peculiar phenomenon of albinisnl. All
the birds and animals are white instead
of their natural colors. The biggest single
specimen is deer that is entirely white
but unlike some albinos there was enough
pigment in its composition to keep the
eyes dark instead of having them pink as
is the case with the most pronounced
types of albinos.
Beside the deer there are a possum.
coon, a white crow. white loon,
white government sparrows and a little
jumping mouse that is white and has pink
eyes. There are number of other birds.
some entirely and others partly white.
There is small case with half dozen
specimens just opposite the albino group
These animals are types of mechanism In
which there is an excess Of color instead
of none at all There is a woodchuck
and other animals almost black. Such
collections are almost accidental and
the specimens accumulate very slowly.

What is said to be as great an engineer

This great railway will extend from the
connecting coast lines in Brazil hundreds
OF miles into the jungle and up the line
of the Madeira river around the falls of
Mamore, which lend the line their name.
This railway is frequently likened in
South America to the building OF the
Panama canal and probably would not be
completed now had it not been for the
lessons in sanitation which the United
States gave Brazil in cleaning up the
Canal Zone.
Work on Line Nearly Century.
Brazil has been at work on the railroad
for nearly century, although this work
has not been continuous. There have
been spasmodic attempts to drive the line
through the jungle, as there were to
pierce the Isthmus Of Panama Several

Shortly after noon the streets along

mated that 100000 crowded the line Of

Because of many threatening letters

He STIRRED
UP TROUBLE
IN HOPYARD

Word was received by telephone
at the sheriff's office about 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon Of a riot at the hop
yard of Sam Jones, about 12 miles
north Of Salem. The message stated
that one Chinaman had been seriously
injured, and that the lives Of several
others were in jeopardy. Deputy
Sheriff William Esch and DR., w. G.
Smith left Immediately for the scene,
where they found a large number Of
women and children gathered in con-
sternation and fear for their lives. The
cause of the disturbance was traced
to Tom Osborn, who had entered the
Chinaman's house, and, It is alleged,
assaulted him. The injured Celestial
had a large cash over one eye, which
the doctor dressed and bandaged up,
making him as comfortable as possible
under the circumstances. The China
man was cared for in his own home,
and Deputy Esch brought the aggres-
sor to Salem and placed him in the
county jail. Gin Sing, the injured man,
did not make formal complaint against
Osborn, so the case was dropped this
morning, and Osborn was given his
freedom, after spending a day and two
nights in jail.
