London. June 22.-It is safe TO predict
that out Of the countless army Of Ameri-
can visitors who shall be crowding us
out Of all our best hotels next month,
something like 80 per cent will travel to
Henley on July 6. Most Americans take
a certain interest in the classic regatta
at Henley. even under ordinary circum-
stances, but this year they will have the
additional pleasure OF Witnessing the
King and Queen travelling down the mar
row waterway in the old state barge
which was ordered built by William III
for his Queen Mary more than 100 years
before the American colonies tore them
selves away from England.
In spite Of its antiquity, II is stil a
water-tight, seryiceable boat, some forty
feet long, built on the lines OF Dutch
naval architecture, and, like all the old
state barges, highly ornar1 tlted and
canopied. On the stern is the royal coat
OF arms ard the cavern lilies Of France,
quartered with the Lions OF England. are
part OF its decoration.
To the public OF this generation the
state barge is little more than a tradi-
ton. Until II made its appearance at
Eton in June, 1904, with the late King
Edward VII and Queen Alexandra on
board, many doubted its existence. I'm
fortunately. It will not on this occasion

grounds. and in donkeys, and ponies, and
carriages, and everything they could
wish for; with soldiers as their play
mates, with white-capped nurses and
governesses following their footsteps,
and with an army OF servants to do their
biddIng-are the children OF the King
and Queen Of Spain.
-Four children have come to bless the
union OF King Alfonso and Queen Vic
toria, who was a royal English princess.
With all the traditional homage. regal
state, and lavish indulgence that has
come to them through their fathers
side. their mother has seen to It that
the children lead a healthy outdoor life.
with the consequence that there are
probably no happier children IN the
world to-day than the Prince OF the
Asturias, the eldest son OF King Alfonso
and heir to the throne OF Spain, and the
Princess Beatrice, his sister.
The second son OF the King and Queen.

BREEDING OF HENS
TO LAY RED EGGS
English University Experimenting
Along Lines of Curious
Law of Mendel.

London, June Z-The imaginative ex-
perimenters who control the Cambridge
School OF Agriculture are now engaged
in the interesting endeavor to make hens
lay red eggs. There is always the best
market for hens eggs which are Of the
richest red-brown. a color that is nat
uraI to the eggs Of several varieties.
Unfortunately, the most prolific layers
will not follow the fashion, with the re-
suit that the eggs Of the different va
rieties, for example. LeghOrns and Buns,
have a quite different market value.
The Cambridge "Mendelians' hope that
they will be able to produce at will, q
brown egg laying hen OF prolific habit,
just as they have produced a strong rust
resisting wheat OF high yield, by work.
ing on this curious law OF Mendel. Hens
have so far proved admirable examples
OF the working of the law. In respect OF
single and double combs, and in respect
OF color, they are perfectly obedient TO
the proper scientific principle. They be
have as they ought, to use the techni-
cal verb. Why should not the eggs be-
have equally not less well than the
feathers and the comb,
There is also the subsidiary question
OF food. A good canary breeder can
make his birds the right color, merely
by the right selection Of foods. He can
at will make q Norwich canary orange,
or a bullhnch black. Similarly, # may
be possible TO alter the egg color by
food as wen as by hereditary influences.
II mustard. as has been lately proved,
makes hens lay better, why should not
colchicum or what not make them lay
more marketable eggs? Some day, per-
haps, Cambridge viii achieve the poul-
tryman's ideal Of a hen that lays per
annum 80 two-ounce red eggs. No one
will then say that English Universities
are not practical or even commercial

MUG" IS ovERwoRKED WORD
In England 1t Means Everything
from Fnce to jag.

London, June 22.-The most overworked
word in the Englishman's vocabulary Of
slang Is Mug" AS a noun It may mean
a face, a fool, or a student who pre-
fers reading to sport. AS a verb its
meanings are still more varied. It may
mean to study hard. or to strike in the
face. It also means to rob or swindle
apd among actors to grimace or make
faces. To mug up Is also, in theatrical
parlance, to make up.
Finally, to mug ones self Is to get
drunk, the resulting condition being one
of mugginess. There is more obvious
sense in this last use OF the word than
In some of the others. for alehouses, in
the eighteenth century were commonly
known as mughouses. Mug is the Eng
lish equivalent Of the German Zug. which
Mark Twain found to mean everything.
new sense of the verb mug In the
American slang is to photograph a face.

FRANCE WORRYING.
OYER GERMAN ARMY
Only Hope to Defeat the Prussisns
Is to Precipitats a War at
This Time.

Berlin, June 2-The serious Increase IN
the German army. which recently passed
the Reichstag, bringing up its peace
strength TO 10000 in October, is causing
grave unrest in France. France, with it's
stationary population, sees Germany tax
ing advantage OF its steady human growth
to build up an army against which France
will be powerlesS. For some years past
II has been the belief OF the French army
that they are capable OF meeting the Ger
mans In the field and defeating them.
That may or may not be trne. But II Is
quite clear that the new policy OF In
crease adopted by Germany means the
end OF that dream. II therefore now
becomes the policy Of the military party
In France TO precipitate a conict. and
we must realize that that will now be
the aim OF the French military party.
Happily. the French officers are not ALL
powerful In France. and there Is a strong
civilian feeling in favor OF peace.
The real danger Is now, as II always
has been, that the general European
strain may become intolerable. France
and Germany are little nearer together
now than they were at the end OF the
Franco-German war, and the recent in
discretion Of the German Emperor over
Alsace-Lorraine must have revived the
bitterest memories. As long as the ques-
ton Of the annexed provinces remains in
any way open, that bitterness will contin-
ue . peril 20 mankind.

London, June 22.-The Duchess OF Marl-
borough, who was Consuelo Vanderbilt,
of New York, will be in the lead Of
very noteworthy gathering Of titled and
other fashionable women who will sell
flowers in the streets Of London next
Wednesday.
This procession, made up OF the most
charming and aristocratic women In
England, will form part Of the celebra-
tion of Alexandra Day." which win

large sum. The prominence Of the Ouch
ess OF Marlborough Is due TO her great
activity in these and other charities,
and to the fact that although American
born she has always been a great favor

ted to her intimate friendship.
1t is expected that about 5000 women

Eive are the arrangements that the
Grand Council OF Women, organizing the
affair, includes 100 Of the best known
names in England.
Society Girls. Shy.
Some trouble has arisen over the shy
ness Of some of the society girls, and
1t has been decided that each flower
seller is to be accompanied by a woman
or man friend to protect her from the
waggishness OF the masses. Meanwhile,
many hostesses are arranging luncheons
and suppers for the weary flower sellers
and London has been mapped out into
district for this purpose. Mrs. Glasgow,
the charming Virginian, will give one Of
the biggest functions in Berkeley Square.
