-------'s' DISASTERS AT SEA

London Cor. New York Sun.
 The year which has just closed has been one of the worst in the history of marine insurance. After eight months of com parative immunity from anything ab- normal the latter part of 1911 hit the underwriters of Lloyds some heavy blows.
 It is estimated that the sum of 100000 sterling, or s35,0O0,0OO represents the amount of the claims. But even now 1t is feared the tale of 1911 Is not yet fully told. The recent terrific weather is re- sponsible for the biggest overdue list which Lloyd's has faced for a long time.
 The year has been remarkable for the great number of minor casualties, par ticularly during the hst three months of almost continual gales in European wa ters, which underwriters ascribe to the green winter now being experienced in England and Europe generally.
 The biggest loss of the year was the huge liner Russia, which stranded off the Dutch coast while bound from New York to the Baltic Hull and cargo the vessel represented S1, ,5O0, 900. Another big loss was the Parsiana, burned at sea while bound from New York to Australia, Cargo and ship were valued at $1,500,O00.
 The loss of the Fifeshire in Arabian waters, while bound from Australia tc London, was responsible for claims total l ing $l,OO0 GOO. The recent loss of the Delh did not affect Lloyds heavily, as the Delh was uninsured.
 A satisfactory detail from the under writers point of view has been 10 pel cent increase during the year in the rates
 on hulls, but against this is to be set {
 rise of l5 per cent in the cost of re pairs.
 | Freights during the year have showr an all round improvement and reflect { great increase of trade. Many buyers O second hand cargo steamers are in th' market and their cost shows a large in crease as compared with prices of 1910 Altogether, British shipping seems to b' prospering, and underwriters are confiden | that the return of good trade conditions win coincide with considerable stiffen l ing in rates.

THE IDEAL PLAYROOM
Cutler in Harper's Bazar.

Martha Cutler in Harpers Bazar.
 The difficulties of construction settled, we next turned to our all important color scheme. For this we had a very definite ideal. It must be beautiful harmonious restful, childish and unusual. We deci- ded upon light warm gray walls and woodwork, much the color of gray wool en crash, blue lavender curtains, rugs and wicker furniture. We surprised ev- cry one with the fresh childishness of color scheme made up so largely of lavender
 The first and strongest impression made by the room, now that it is finished, Is one of simplicity and restfulness with the childish note conspcuously present. This is effected first by the use of soft, harmonious coors, and, secondly, by the predominance of plain surfaces. The walls are plain with very few pictures the curtains are made of very plain material and relieved only by a white and lavender edge, the rugs are plain with a band acrosss the ends and the furniture itself is plain in color and sim pie in construction. There are no obtrud- ing, tiresome designs anywhere on walls furniture of materials The figured chintz, with it's inconspicuous design, re- leves the plainness of the room, but is used with restraint.

Payment of Poll Taxes

Business should be brisk at the courthouses in the remaining days of the present month, for only 5500 persons out of 12,000 in the county have paid their poll taxes. And this is pre-eminently political year-a year in which an Alabamian may be elevated to the White House. Ala bama did have a Vice President in William R. King, who was elected with Franklin Pierce in 1852 The state has not come nearer than that to the filling of the greatest office in the gift of the people, but this year the democrats of Alabama are sanguine they can boost Oscar W. Underwood to the top of the political ladder. They know he would make an excellent, levelheaded President, and every man in the state should get ready to do his part.
 In order to vote at all this year one's poll tax must be paid on or be- fore February 1, and that date is near at hand. This is the last call and it should be needed.

Pitching the Years Crops

Planting will be begun in southern Texas soon after February 1, and it will rapidly spread from there to all parts of the cotton belt. This is therefore the time in which the crops of the present year must be planned, if indeed they have not already been.
 It is perhaps idle to appeal to the farmer to cut down his cotton acreage. Newspaper appeals of that nature are not effective. Each farmer adjusts that problem for himself regardless of newspaper opinion. There is, how ever, one thing the farmers in Ala bama should not do-they should not conclude that because the farmers of Texas are going to reduce their acre age they can afford to maintain their own. The farmers of Texas are acting just as the farmers of every other cot ton state are doing. Some will reduce their acreage and some will not.
 There will be no greater reduction in one state than in another. All will act from individual circumstances,

is commonly reported that they nave an instinctiye liking for mice, and that mice have an instinctive fear of cats. sit IS supposed that the odor of mouse VIII arouse a cat, and that the odor Of cat will frighten a mouse My. eApeiF ments tend to show that this beiiet IS net in harmony with the facts. when cats over months old were taken into the room where mice were Kept they did not show the least sign Of ex- citement. A cat would even allow mouse to perch upon it's back without attempting to injure it. Nor did the mice show any fear of the cats. l nave seen a mouse smell at the nose of cat without showing any sign of fear. 1t was not until the Manx kittens had seen the mother cat catch and kill the mice and had eaten of the prey that they learned to do likewise. According to pr. Berry it is by imitation that the average cat learns to kill and eat mice.
 Professor Yerkes and MT. Bloomfield made a much more extensive test upon the more common varieties of cats. They worked with eight kittens belonging to two separate filters. The animals were brought up by hand and were kept free from the influence of older cats. They tested the kittens with mice much more often and more systematically than did MT. Berry. When first tested the kit tens were too young and undeveloped to notice the mice. The instinct was yet dormant" in succeeding tests 1t became perfectly clear that as soon as the kit tens reached the proper age-as soon as the instinct "ripened." as Professor Will liam James has expressed 1.-the con- genital mode of response appeared. The authors describe in a very clear and interesting way the behavior of one of the kittens in one of the tests: NO, was attracted by the movement of the mouse and touched 1t with his nose. He then left it. After twelve minutes he happened to be so placed that he could see the mouse as 1t began to move. For few seconds he watched as if fascinated by the sight. Then he moved directly and quickly in spite of the shalliness of his legs to the mouse and seized it in his mouth by the mid dle of the back, at the same time biting hard and bending his head to the floor so that one paw could be placed firmly on the body of the mouse. In a few sec onds he had killed the mouse. Without pause the process of eating was begun" This kitten was only one month old. and was still weak and shaky in its move- ments. The negative results reached by Dr. Berry were possibly due to the fact that different variety of cat was used in his experiment; a more probable ex- planation is that he did not begin his tests with the animals at young enough age nor make the tests at frequent enough intervals.

CHICAGO,s LAKE FRONT

A long stride toward the realization of the Chicago Beautiful' plan was made just before the close of the past year when, through the cooperation of the city, the South Park commission, the Chicago plan commission, and the Illinois Central railroad, the people of Chicago re- gained control of the lake front. The vexing problem of the location of the Field Museum of Naturay History was also solved.
 Illustrations in the February number of Popular Mechanics Magazine show Chicago twill transmute the baser metal full parks and rlsygrounds for the peo- pie" The plan calls for the extending out into the lake of the present shore line. by filling, and the making of narrow island or strip of land about seven or eight miles long, paralleling the shore line from Grant park to Jackson park, about 400 feet out in the lake.

From the New York Telegraph.
 Word was received in New York yester- day by friends of Mrs. Ernest H. Sinclair, who before her marriage two years ago was Miss Elsie Dupree, a chorus girl In one of the Lederer companies, that she has been made the defendant in suit for absolute divorce. A queer feature of the case is the fact that the husband bases his action in the main On the evidence of parrot
 MT. Sinclair Is an automobile dealer Of San Jose, Cal He met the former chorus girl while she was playing in San Francis co. and curing the month of December, 1909, they were married. They immediately went to San Jose to reside. They were apparently happy until last November. Then Mrs. Sinclair packed her personal eff fleets and went to St. Louis, where she now is.
 The husband, in the course of his busi- ness. found it necessary to take long auto mobile trips to show cars. Frequently he would be away as much as week at n time. although the usual trip seldom lasted more than AS hours While he was gone he would leave his wife at home with a housemaid and a parrot as com panion
 'Oa various occasions after July l, 1911, recites MT. Sinclair in his complaint, ac- cording to the Information received yester- day, T was astonisked upon arriving home to hear Polly scream: Elsie. you r1 my baby dollr and oh, but you are some Elsier These exclamations alone would have been enough to arouse my suspicious when I noticed that the parrot always gave vent to them In a voice that sounded like a mans.
 "The first time my wife noticed thSt was vexed over what the parrot was yell ing she tried to smooth matters out by saying the bird had been suffering With cold several days. She had no sooner gotten the words out of her mouth than Polly yelled: Bill, you devil' in tone or voice that closely resembled my wife S. That was what caused the quarrel which resulted in my wife going to St. Louis. '
 MT. Sinclair says he suspected certain wealthy orange grower, and, meeting him on the street one day, through a little in genious work got him to say Baby doil!' That satisfied the automobile man that the fruit raiser was the guilty party, and he began divorce proceedings, nam ing William G. Boas as correspondent.
 Friends of Mrs. Sinclair say she has written them that she will oppose the suit. One move her lawyer will make will be to oppose testimony from the parrot on the ground that the bird can not be sworn in as a.witness in the reg uar way.

MT. Rooseyelt's Call to China

The first Illinois district-the dis trict of Hinlky Dink and other down town statesmen-has voted to instruct it's two delegates to vote for Theodore Roosevelt in the national convention. This practically gives the Sage of Oyster Bay the first two delegates of the campaign.
 But at the same time the professor of political science in Chicago uni versity rises up to say that Colonel Roosevelt is the only man fit to solve the difficulties that now menace the people of China. The professor in question is Dr. Toyokechi Iyenega, who is presumably a native of Japan.
 Startling as might seem the state ment." said Dr. Iyenega, "the best plan for China under the circum- stances would be, I am strongly tempted to suggest, to ask Theodore Roosevelt to serve as q temporary president of China and let him, with his powerful big stick, whip the peo pie into one strong united nation, un- til China attains that important posi- tion in the family of nations to which her size and potential wealth justly entitle her to attain"
 Stranger things have happened in this world. If China has the sense to invite and to support America's ex- President, it is pretty certain that he has the courage to face the task and to stand by it until success or failure fully come.
 The first congressional district of Illinois would, in that case, have to select another favorite, but that it would do in the hope of helping 450,- 000,000 human souls in China. As first president of China, Colonel Roosevelt could round out remarka- ble career.
