Her Little KNOWLEDGE.

The lady was reading nautical

appeal to her husband. Gerald" she
said. 'the author says that the boat
was sailing wing and wing What
does that mean? I've been on .

''That MEANS" answered Gerald, no
joicing in the fact that he. too. had
spent several hours on sailing YES.
sci, that means that the schooner had
her mains'l out to port and her fores1
out to starboard-or vice versa" "Oh,

little sails in the middle 'jibs.' It's
short for 'giblets' Of course. Isn't
sailing interesting?"

Monkeys stormed Gibraltar,

A modern Battle of Gibraltar took
place in the old Moorish castle. used
as a civil prison, between the mon.
keys that infest the Rock and the
prison warders. One monkey nearly
choked Senior Warden Cheehon to
death and the simians finally drove
their human foes into the prison. The
monkeys have been considered almost
tame. They are Barbary apes and are
the only monkeys in Europe not in
captivity. &

Flight Of insects Recorded.

Motion pictures of insects in fight
prove that tho movement Of the wings
If all insects presents the same gen
eral character. When flight is begun
the amplitude Of the first wing beats
10 much smaller than Of the subsequent
ones, but tho period remains almost
unchanged. The insect regulates the
velocity Of its tight not by the rapidly
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.

Pomona. Cal, Dee 23.--After sign
ing a statement which police officials
declared contained a fun confession,
Lew Ehresman was arraigncd today
ON the charge OF having murdered
John Nicholson, an automobile agent,
whose charrcd bones were found In
the ruins of a burned barn near Lords
burg two weeks ago The prisoner
was held without bail, his preliminary
hearing being set for Thursday. Ac-
cording TO the alleged confession,
Ehresman shot Nicholson in the back
while the latter was riding in the au-
tomobie which chresman nfterward
used to convey himself ana Miss Mana
Shawver 30 Santa Barbara. After the
killing OF Nicholson. Ehresman said
he dragged the body to a barn on the
Baynham farm and then fired the
barn. The trouble with Nicholson.
Ehresman said, arose over a deal con
corning the transfer OF an automobile.
He could not pay for the automobile,
SO Nicholson took Ii back ana rcsoi,i
IL for more money than Ehrcsman
owed him. Ehrcsnan demanded the
difference Nicholson refused and the
killing followed.
The murder was committed Decem-
Der 9th. and the charred bones were
discovered two days later

meet the demands of humanity. but
the belligerents In better position
than they held when the armistice w--i
signed.
Rechad said he was animated by n
desire to avoid procrastination and
that the question might be dealt with
directly between the Turks and Bull
garians, thus making II possible for
the conference To continue. The heads
expressed satisfaction with Rechad's
statement. Then NJ. Novokovitch. tall
and erect. rose holding In his hand
a large sheet of paper II was the
crucial moment of the conference and
all eyes We're turned upon him. The
Balkan delegations showed emotion
and anxiety; the Turks appeared as
impassive as statutes.
"All the secondary questions having
been settled, the moment has come to
explain the conditions under which
the allies are ready to conclude
peace" NJ. Novokovitch announced.
Then he read the demands Of the Bal
kan states. When he had finished, all
eyes shifted to the representatives of
the sultan.
They, however, gave no display of
feeling.
Rcchad Pasha rose again and. In
his habltually slow manner, asked for
a written copy of the proposals. NJ
NoNokovitch thereupon ordered the
secretary To make the copy and the
delegates left their seats and joined
in an animated and cordial conver-
sation.
During the long walt for the copy
and disclalming any desire to enter
into a discussion of their merits, the
Turks said that speaking unofficially
they considered the terms to have
been designed for the purpose Of
breaking off the conference. When
the delegates had signed the docu-
ment. Rechad asked for an adjourn
slider the proposals. and his request
was granted.
Among the diplomats mere, the
opinion prevails that notwithsta nding
that the Turks considered unaccept-
able the conditions presented by the
allies and what the allies declare are
terms which cannot be reduced. peace
will ultimately be concluded. 1t is re-
marked that the allies and the Turks.
when the armistice was concluded.
We're exactly in the same position as
the Russians and the Japanese when
the United States induced them to adj
here to the Portsmouth treaty
Both the Turks ana Bulgarians were
at Tchatalja in practically state of
exhaustion. Now both have strength
ened themselves, but neither really is
sure what would happen were the
conflict resumed The Turks fear fur
ther reverses and irreparable losses.
and the allies fear to endanger the
positions they have gained.
