ADDING DAYS TO HIS LIFE
Paradoxical Problem Is Solved
Through Obvious Point In Cir
cumnavIgatlon.

A correspondent sends to the Her
aid a paradoxical problem which, he
believes, originally appeared in
Pissse's "Chymical, Natural and Physi-
Nal Magic" published some so years
lgo. Two persons were born at the
'ame place, at the same moment OF
lime. Fifty years after they both died,
llso at the same spot and at the same
Instant: yet one had lived 100 days
more than the other.
The possible solution turns on =
curious but very obvious point in cir
sumnavigation. A person going round
the world toward the west loses a
lay; going toward the east he gains
ane. Suppose. then, two persons born
together at the Cape Of Good Hope,
whence a voyage round the world may
De performed In I year: II one per-
lorms this constantly toward the west,
n 80 years he will be 80 days behind
he stationary inhabitants; and If the
other Sill equally toward the east, he
VIII be 90 days in advance Of them.
One, therefore, will have seen 100
lays more than the other.-Glasgow

sTORKS IN ALSACE
system Of Registration 10 Being Tried
to Learn About Migratory
Habits.

Every year the number OF storks
to be Ger In Alsace becomes loss. OF
the four nests perched on the big
chimneys on the old roofs Of Strass-
burg, only one has been occupied this
year.
In many of the villages the great
migrators have ceased for a long time
to relieve the landscape, and 1t seems
only a question OF time when the stork
In Alsace will be a memory. Various
are the causes assigned for this de-
sertion-the draining Of the marshes,
the multiplication Of telephone and
telegraph wires and the smoke from
factory chimneys.
In Germany for the better study OF
storks there has been created a sort
of service In connection with the Edu-
cation Department which tends to set
up an "etat civil" for each bird, or,
In other words. to register them after
the manner which obtains for citizens
In France.
Each bird is captured where posi-
BILE and a metallic disk affixed to It's
leg, and German officials, wherever
the birds are believed to migrate, have
Instructions to send to the department
any Information they can gather con-
corning storks who are German sub
Jects. POSSIBLY this labelling may
have something to do with the scare
ity.) By this system of registration
the authorities have learned some
thing Of the migratory habits OF the
bird; for instance, n was found dead
at the Cape of Good Hope whose place
Of origin was eastern Prussia.
A point of interest relative to the
scarcity of the stork has been brought
under the notice of the German au-
thorittes by a doctor at Port Eliza
beth, who suggests that they have
been poisoned through eating grass
hoppers or locusts which have been
killed by arsenic. A correspondent,
however, of an AIsace-Lorraine jour
nal hints hat the cause ia to be found
neare at home.

CRABS WALK OF SO MILES
HomIng Instinct Is Shown by Somc
Recent Experiments In
England.

Some remarkably interesting de-
tails regarding the movements and the
homing instinct Of the edible crap
were presented to the Eastern Sea
Fisheries Committee. During the
past two years Fishery Inspector II.
Donnison has been carrying out In
vestigations ON behalf of the COM
mittee, and the results OF his work
cannot fail to be OF considerable use
to those concerned in biological re-
search.
In the course OF an exhaustive re-
port he stated that between July n
September, 1910, nearly two thousand
crabs were captured. and after being
labeled were again set free along the
Norfolk and Lincolnshire coasts. The
crabs had recently cast their shells,
and new ones were then in process
OF hardening.
Rewards we're paid to fishermen
upon returning the crabs when recap
tured. They were returned to the sea
at varying distances from the shore,
and up to the present Il per cent OF
the labeled c~rustaceans had been re-
captured and full data tabulated.
With regard to the Norfolk crabs
liberated in the places from which
they were originally obtained, ffty-
two were %recaptured within one mile
Of their first home, but one Travelled
as far as Marlborough Head, a dis
tance OF ninety-eight statute miles.

MAYOR MORRISON IS

Special TO tho EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, July 29.-Mayor
John j. Morrison disapproves of the
resolution adopted by common coun-
Gil, recognizing Cornelius McCrellis
as street commissioner and has re-
turned 1t to that board without his
signature. The mayor questions the
wisdom of thep rocedure fearing 1t
will get the city into a-legal ehSG2-
clement. Action on the veto will be
taken at the next meeting of the
board next Monday night.
Last January Abraham Jelin was
ousted as street commissioner and
McCrellis elected in his place. Jelin
carried the matter to the courts on
a writ of c%ertiorari, claiming his
term had not expired. The supreme
court recently dismissed the writ,
holding quo warranto proceedings
should have been taken. The COM
council has received no official
notice of the case being dismissed,
but the board voted to recognize
McCrellis. The mayor is opposed to
the step. He is a Republican and
the Republican members of the
board with the vote of n Democrat,
