HENS THAT SWIM AND DIVE
Fowl Fancier Gives Reasons Why They
Lay Fishy Eggs.

Expert research has disclosed the
reason that patients in the Foresters'
sanitarium at Rainbow Lake, n. Y,
have had to complain of a fish flavor
in their eggs.
The institution has its own poultry
yard, extending to the edge of the lake.
whittier the ducks repair for swim
ming and the hens for drink. Recent
ly the keeper of the hens got up extra
early in the morning and was CON
founded when he saw a dozen of his
hens floating on the lake in the midst
of the flock of ducks. They were div
ing. too, and coming up with infant
trout. which they brought to shore to
devour
The hennery man, who is also BIZ
ologist, says it is a characteristic ac
quired through long association with
the ducks. He will segregate the hens
and ducks hereafter, for, although he
has no objection to swimming hens. he
feels that the flavor of the eggs direct
~ concerns his own reputation.

Gamblers Superstitlons.

Gamblers are generally supersti
tious with regard to numbers. AT
Monte Carlo many players lay their
stake on the number of their cloak
room tickets. The date of a birthday
the sum total of the number on a
watch, and the figures on the tor
coin of pile are also said to be con
sldered lucky by many players, and
the clergyman of the English church
at Monte Carlo at one time never gave
out any hymn under number Sc. as he
discovered that some of his congrega
ton had made practice Of noting
down the numbers with a view OF
backing them at roulette.

DROPPED TO DEATH
FROM BALLOON
Terrible AeronautiCaI Accident
atNoisy lie Grand, France.
"A BIG BALLOON COLLAPSES.
The Gas Bag Had Successfully Passed
Over Paris Before 1t Met With
the Accident, the Cause OF
Which Is Unknown.

Noisy lie Grande, France.-One of
the most terrible accidents to spheric-
al balloons in many years occurred
here. The military balloon Zodiac col
lapsed at a height OF about $50 feet
and fell to the ground with its five
occupants, all of whom were killed
The Zodiac, which has a capacity
Of 500 cubic meters, " as inflated with
ordinary gas and left the Aero Club
Park at st. Cloud with the military
aeronauts Captains Clayenad ana
DenOue, Lieutenant De Naisselot and
Artilleryman Rechy and the civilian
pilot Aumont Thieyillo aboard. Pro
PEELED by a strong wind the balloon
passed rapidly over Paris and arrived
at Noisy Legrande. Observers sud
denly saw it shrivel up and fall La
borers working in the fields ran to
the assistance Of the aeronauts, but
had difficulty in extricating them from
the vast mass of silk.
Three of the men 49, Clavenad,
Rechy and Aumont Thieyille-were
killed outright Denoue and De Vais-
selot were still breathing. They were
placed in an automobile which happen
ed to be passing along the high road
and rushed to the military hospital at
Nincennes. Denoue died on the way;
De Vaisselot died at the hospital
The exact cause of the accident re-
mains for the present mystery The
collapse of the balloon was due to a
tear in the cover, which apparently
was made Intentionally. The theory
is that something went wrong with the
valve and that one Of the aeronauts
lost his head and cut the cover, caus-
ing the immediate defation of the
balloon
The log aboard indicates that the
Zodiac passed over Paris at an alti-
tude of about $500 feet. after which
it dropped and then ascended above
the clouds

mains.
tCopyright.)

Tokio.-The japanese government
considers the present anti-Japanese
movement in California as most dan
gerous and is faced with the prospect
of placing itself in a most unwelcome
position, owing to the unwillingness Of
the federal government at Washing
ton to intervene and the impossibility
OF introducing counter measures here
In the event of the passage Of the
California Alien Land Holding Bill
through both Houses OF the Legislature
Japan will issue an imperial ordinance
enforcing the Japanese Foreign Land
Ownership Bill of 1910, and will apply
to the federal government at Washing
ton for permission for the Japanese to
become naturalized citizens of the
United States
The Foreign Land Owneship Bill
passed by the japanese Diet in March,
1910, prohibits foreigners except under
certain restrictions from owning land
in Japan, and they may not own land
at all in Saghalien, Formosa, Hokkaido
or the fortified zones.
This law has never yet been officially
promulgated.
War Songs Sung.
A mass-meeting, composed for the
most part Of irresponsible people, de
manded the most extreme measures of
retaliation by Japan. During the gath
ering the singing of war songs aroused
the feelings of many of the over
classes who were present.
Anonymous writer's in the newspa-
pers give an outline of plans for the
seizure Of the Philippines and Hawaii
and at the same time denounce the
japanese governments submissive at
titude. 1t is said that the changed con
ditOns in Japan make it impossible
for the government TO restrain the
newspapers and the lower classes.
