Washington, D. c., Nov. 11.-Thc
cabinet met again today with all tia
members present except Secretary
Wilson.
The Mexican topic was foremost.
The raising of the embargo on arms
which has been urged upon the presi-
dent and practically all the secre-
,aries, was discussed at length.
Indications today were that the
American policy toward Mexico,
which 1t was hoped the nations of the
world generally would follow still was
hands off," -
The general interpretation of the
situation was that the United States,
by giving foreign powers detailed in
formation of its own determination TO
refuse to recognize the acts of the
new Mexican congress had indicated
desire that the powers generally
refrain from financial dealings with
the government of Provisional Presi-
dent Huerta
So far as could be learned there
has been no specific request for sup
port by the powers, but there has
been plain intimation that the
Washington government believes the
collapse of the Huerta r, gime is
inevitable if foreign aid be withheld.
With the intention to regard as
illegal, any loans or concessions tha
new congress may undertake, there
has been distinct intimation that a
policy Of acquiescence by foreign gov
ernments would be gratifying 10
Washington. Without financial aid
and with its machinery of government
pronounced illegal, officials here ex-
pect to see a state of affairs that
may force Huerta to eliminate him
self and show the way to solution
of the problem from the American
viewpoint.
Premier Asquith's speech in Lon
don was regarded by high officials
here as disclosing a passive attitude
of non-interference by Great Britain

STRENGTH OF A LIMPET.
Its Sticking Power Largely Due to At
mospheric Pressure.

mospheric Pressure.
Every one is familiar with the say
ing ito stick like Iimpet." but there
are not so many who know how 1t is
that limpet is able to stick as it does
to the rocks upon which 1t passes its
existence The creature Is able by
means of the central portion of its
body, which can be raised independent
ly of the edge or frill which surrounds
It, to create vacuum much in the
same way that n piece of soft wet
leather can he made to adhere TO n
smooth surface by pressing out all the
air Thus the so called strength" of
the lmpet Is largely due to atmos
pberlc pressure.
II is not entirely so. however, for II
they are closely examined ii will he
seen that the shells accommodate
themselves around the edges to the
surface of the rock upon which the
limpet is located. and If removed TO
another spot the edge of the shell will
probably be found to be Il very bad fit
and the creatures power of adhesion
somewhat lessened. If taken by sur
prise with n smart sidelong blow even
a large limpet is easily enough dislodg-
ed, but IL it is given the slightest warn
ing its power of suction is instantly
brought into play and very often con-
siderable force Is then necessary be-
fore It can be detached. - London

when one was killed by an avalanche
the other should be free to propose

this case the idea became fact.
This is not the only instance on rec

For three mornings they tempted ma
ture. but nothing serious happened. On

much hurt. Then It was that their
food supply gave ont, and they return
ed home TO get some more. BY this
time the police had come to hear OF
their strange duel, and threatened them
both with Imprisonment. SO the un-
daunted rivals settled their differences
in another and less adventurous way.
They drew lots for their lady love.
