10 judge the height of animals nv

iSl'ors the Geological Society has

painted SO far as is possible. in every

ANIMALS Will not always oblige by
standing against the scale so that
they can be accurately measured. but
with little trouble a fair idea NAV
be obtained of the height of most of
them
Overestimates are made most usual
~ in the case of animals rather high
er than human beings just as the
height of man a few inches over
SIN feet is always taken to be much
more than he actually is.
The tallest animal in the gardens is
the male giraffe. In his natural posi-
ton, in which the neck is not carried
vertically, but stretching forward and
upward, the top of the head is rather
less than thirteen feet from the
ground No doubt, if he were to
stand perfectly upright, his height

The old female Indian elephant
presented many years ago by King
Edward which is believed to be one of
the finest examples of its sex and race
IN captivity stands under feet c
inches at the highest point of the
rounded back. A fine Indian male
may reach 10 feet inches at the
shoulder, and one of the African race
about foot more. The male drome-
dairy is another tall animal, and the
tip of its hump is rather more than
seven feet from the ground.
The vast bulk of rhinoceros
makes it appear not quite so high as
it really is. The finest Indian exam
pie now in the collection stands be-
tween 4 feet and feet at the Shout
der, but it is still young animal, and
full grown adults may reach moro
than 8 feet at the shoulder. The So
ciety's African rhinoceros is also still
a young animal and is only about 4
feet in height, very much less than
the size of a fine example of the race.
Either there is a constant error iii
the measurements which sportsmea
take of dead lions and tigers, or all
observers are deceived about the fine
ness of the specimens now in the
Geological Gardens.
The male Siberian tiger and the
young lions presented by Carnaby
Foster are generally admitted to be
magnificent animals, and it is welt
known that good menagerie specimens
of the large carnivores frequently sur
pass wild animals. And yet the
height of the Siberian tiger at the
Gardens is only 8 feet 3 inches at the

ton of the murderers of Nazim Pasha,
formerly commander in chief of the
Turkish army, who was killed, dur
ing the recent rioting, on the occasion
of the overthrow of the Turkish gov
eminent according TO special des-
patch to the Cologne Gazette. The
men refuse to obey the present war

Enver Bey. the Young Turk leader,
today, went in an automobile to the
headquarters of the army at Hadem-

the troops but the soldiery forcibly
prevented him from alighting.
1t is regarded now as too late to
stop the instruction within the ranks
of the army.
According to the same correspond

mander at Adrianople has caused an
inquiry to be made into the circun-
stances of Nazim Pasha's death and
has announced his intention of going
to Constantinople after the conclusion
of the war to avenge the murder of
his friend. He has also gathered i'm
formation about large number of of
ficers who, he says, must be punished
for the murder of NaZim Pasha.

grant an increase of 10 per cent, a 81
hour week and tacit recognition of the
union. This agreement, it was announced
at the Headquarters of the union. would
not be accepted, since it did not embody
all the demands of the strikers. The re-
fusal of the Wrapper, Kimono and House

agree to the unions demand for so-called
collective bargaining permitted the strike
in that branch of the trade to enter into
another week without hope of settlement.

FIVE MORE JUDGES
To Be Named by Pres. Taft Before He
Leaves Office.

Washington. Feb. 3.--Before he quits
office. President Taft expects to send
to the Senate the nominations of five
more federal judges. making total of
Ill during his administration a
record unequalled, so far as available
documents show, by any other Presi-
dent in four years. Counting these
five nominations and ten already sent
to the Senate but still inconfirmed.
Mr.. Taft will have named IS per cent.
of the 1876 federal judges provided for
by the statutes. While the President
is known to regard his appointments
to the supreme court as the most i'm
portant he has made-and he has
named five of the nine members of
that court and chief justice-he has
taken great pride in his selection of
circuit, district and territorial judges.

anything less than the official certificate
states. Even when all of the certificates
are at hand, the executive will not be in
position formally to announce that fact.
In a matter of this Importance. it is
necessary to move with extreme caution
and Sec. Knox, the custodian OF the GER
tificates. will refer them to the solicitor
of the department of state for examina-
tons as to their sufficiency.
Already some questions have been rails
ed as to the legality of the returns. One
was in the case of the state of Kentucky,
where the Legislature initially adopted
the amendment in advance of the receipt
from Secretary Knox of the formal COM
munication which should serve as a basis
for states action. In consequence of
this haste and the use of newspaper
clipping the language of the enacting res
olution was slightly erroneous.
AS soon as the error was discover.
ed an effort was made to correct it by
re-enactment of the resolution in
proper form. which action, however,
has raised an issue that must be pass
ed upon by the solicitor. 1t is re-
called that Secretary of State Seward
in 1868 practically referred to Congress
the question as to whether the 18th
amendment had been properly ratified
by the states, because of some such
irregularity.
1t Is probable that Sec. Knox will
not perform his ministerial act 90
announcing~th ratification of the 18th
amendment, upon the basis of the
present returns, but will await the re-
ceipts of certificates from some of the
states, which have not yet acted upon
the amendment, but are reasonably
certain to do so. favorably In this
connection, and allowing for the time
required for a painstaking examina-
ton by the solicitor it probably will
be after the 4th of March before the
Presidents notice can issue for the
adoption of the income tax amend
ment. Following is the list of states
which ratified the income tax amend
nlent:
Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia.
Idaho, Illinois Indiana Iowa. Kansas.
Kentucky. Maine Maryland, Michigan.
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri Mon
tana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York,
