FIloht Of insects Recorded.

Motion pictures of insects in fight
prove that the movement of the wings
of all insects presents the same gen.
eral character. When fight is begun
the amplitude of the first wing beats
is much smaller than of the subsequent
ones. but the period remains almost
unchanged The insect regulates the
velocity of its fight not by the rapidity
of the motion of its wings, but by
changing their inclination. Although
In normal conditions the period of the
wing beat remains constant, it may
be increased or diminished by various
influences, such as fatigue and cold.

SILENT, SHE SAYS
Woman Says Husband Made
Her Promise Not to Reveal
His Theft.

Threats that she would be killed
and ner body put in a bathtub caused
Mrs. Charles Walz, of % Magnolia
street to turn over money belonging
to her mother TO her husband during
the past six months, according to
Ter affidavit filed in the First District
Court. Walz on complaint of the
wife and her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Philip Blass. of the same address,
was arrested, and is now out on bail
to appear before Judge Mcmahon
reyt Wednesday morning.
The action has been taken in a
suit on contract, Mr.. and Mrs. Blass
being anxious to COW $153 rather
than to punish Walz through the
police courts. The affidavit filed by
Mrs. Walz alleges that her husband
every month since January last took

NOU.S {. INFLUENCE
IN CHINESE LOAN
DR.. Morrison Brands Story
That America Is Forcing
Issue as Nonsense.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Vigorous
denial OF charges emanating from
the Democratic side of the House
of Representatives to the effect that
the United States is using its infiu-
ence to force a vast loan upon the
Chinese Republic has been received
here in the form of a statement from
DIR. Morrison, the English student of
Chinese affairs, appointed a few days
ago to be adviser to the new gov
eminent.
DIR. Morrison declares that the CON
tention that the banking groups are
thrusting money upon China is not
sustained in Pekin. On the contrary,
he cotends that the bankers are
showing great reluctance to lend
money except with adequate safe
guards.
Application for financial aid cane
to the bankers group first from the
provisional government, DR.. Morrison
says After the failure to get funds
from the Belgian syndicate, a second
appeal was made to the international
group. DR.. Morrison says:
"The bankers group, especially the
British group, rely for their prosper
ity on the rehabilitation of China. To
them the profits of fotation are not
the sole object in view. If China
cola osed from a surfeit of loans the
British group at least would not gain
thereby, and it is difficult to see how
any of the others could gain either,
Solemn warnings that they are lead
ing China on to foreign subsection in
volve, therefore, the supposition that
the groups are trying to spoil their
own business. which is nonsense"
