REFUGE FOR BIRDS PLANNED.
Island at Mouth of Mississippi Pur-
chased for Purpose.

News has been received by the biologi-
cal survey Of the Department Of Agri-
culture that a big island has been bought
by private parties just at the mouth Of
the Mississippi to be reserved as q bird
refuge. This is known as Marsh Island
and. as it's name implies. is good for little
except a refuge for birds. especially
shore birds. The area Is $4,000 acres
f. L. McIllheney, brother of the civil
service commissioner. is one of those in
terested The island will be patroled
and guarded by keepers. 1t may be re-
tanned by the purchaser or turned over to
the state of Louisiana for the same pur-
pose. There Is no intention Of making a
hunting preserve of 1t nor to make any
profit out Of it commercially.
The purchasers Of the island have a
general plan outlined for getting other
islands up the Mississippi and making q
chain OF bird refugees extending as far
north as the great lakes.

COAL VESSELS TIED UP.
Breaks in Chesapeake Canal Prevent
Loading of Vessels.

In consequence of breaks in the banks
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal at
Williamsport and Seneca, Mr.. no coal
laden boats have been coming down the
canal for several days. but 1t is said that
the canal company expects to have the
damage repaired and traffic resumed on
the canal within the next day or two.
The tie-up of the canal is delaying the
loading Of the big barges that carry coal
to New England points. Barge No. Is.
which arrived here about a week ago. is
lying at the Georgetown coal pier about
half loaded, and No. 26 which was
brought up the river about the middle of
the past week. is lying at anchor in the
river off about the foot of Goth street.
waiting for No. is to complete her cargo
and get out of the way so that she can go
under the loading chutes. 1t is probable
that both vessels will be loaded and
started on their journey to Boston, Ports
mouth Portland, by the end of this
week. The break in the canal has for
the time stopped shipments of coal TO the
naval powder factory at Indian Head.

THINKS THEORIES PROVED.
Psychological Views Tested by Walk
From New York to Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Mrs. Clara Mitch
ell, North Side woman. has just COM
pleted walk from New York to Chi
cago. which she made as a psychology
cal experiment. Mrs Mitchell has ideas
different from certain pedestrians regard
ing the number of miles to be Travelled
each day diet and other things.
Mrs. Mitchell said last night that three
theories had been proved by the trip.
First, that physical endurance does not
depend on diet or muscle; second. that
the power of intuition is a safeguard and
guide. and, third, that motor action
ceases to be effort when it becomes a
habit
There was not one unpleasant ex-
perience during the trip said Mrs.
Mitchell. When noon arrived my in
tuition would guide me to a house where
1 would be welcomed and caused me to
shun places where l might have met
with q rebuff The walk proved my
three theories to my satisfaction and was
successful experiment from psyche

JAPANESE EMPER0R's AILMENT
Medical Deduction From the Symp-
toms as Cabled.
'om the New York Herald


The cabled report with regard To the
illness of the mkado has cleared up the
insistent question in many physicians
minds as to the real nature of his ailment
He has been known to be a sufferer from
diabetes, but when this disease develops
after the age of fifty it seldom produces
serious effects or shortens life Compica-
tons readily occur. however. because of
the disturbance of nutrition consequen.
upon the elimination of sugar from the
system and the lowering of resistive
vitality.
Just what the fever meant i'm the case
was not clear. The possibility of typhoid
even was limited at. The Herald's special
case. a kidney affection has developed as
the result of the irritation of these organs
by the overexcretion of sugar. Albumi-
nuria showed itself and some retention in
have been excreted. Hence symptoms of
the poisoning of the system known as
uremia. Hence the fever and the
Cheyne Stokes respiration that is report
ed-that is. breathing in cycles from very
slow. shallow to deep. rapid breathing.
The condition is very serious. since
these symptoms show deep involvement of
the nervous system. The outlook for
not, however. now considered so unfavor-
BILE as formerly Improvement may takc
place for months. though ultimate recov-
cry is almost out of the question. What
we know of Japanese physicians gives Us
every assurance that the imperial patient
will have the benefit Of every resource OF
modern medical science.
The contrast between the presence of
the hushed crowd in the imperial gardens,
with their oriental customs of almost
worship of the patient and characteristic,
eastern feeling of personal relation TO him
whom they consider their divine ruler.
and the physicians bulletins. which read
exactly like those Of our western medical
consuItants in like conditions. sums up
old and new Japan. The change is due 10
this mikado more than any other factor
Should his illness prove fatal Japans re-
greet for him will be shared by the world
which cannot help but recognize him as
one of the greatest of administration
that highest quality of our great men.
