CONCERNING TAIL OF DOG
Varvjno Theories as to Whether Gus
tomary Appendage Is or Is
Not Hereditary.

Edmund Perrier, the director of the
Paris Museum of Natural History, pub
fishes the results of experiments made
by Philip de Vilmorin on the transmits
sion of hereditary characteristics in
dogs. He says: Various breeds of
dogs are without tails, such as Breton
spaniels. Hungarian sheep dogs and
various toy dogs"
M. de Vilmorin, specialized as to
j, whether this characteristic was hered.
tary. He had observed hundreds Of
logs made by ~ crosses between dogs
OF different breeds. The results
showed that the characteristic OF
having NO tail was dominant in the
descendants Of these dogs. It, there
fore, appeared that dogs totally lack
ing tails were hybridsy while those
having long tails were pure breed"
In crossing among themselves tail
less dogs, M. de Vilmorin found Is pei
cent without tails. These researches
M. Perrier said, conformed to the law
Of Mendel on hybrids and helped &c
clear the complex problem of heredlty

DR.. Shafer Establishes II
a New Record.

Dr.. R. r. Shafer established an au-

tween Rich Hill and Butler which
should place him in the Barney Old

sition Of pole boss" in next years

Doc, always ready to accommodate his

machine shot forward, but the words
were likely waited through the gen.
tie swaying of stately cornstalks out
near the cemetery, for he was "off"
and the only thing left to show his
Santa Fe trail was streak Of swirl
ing, eddying dust that ultimately set
tied down on the weekly wash OF
good natured housewives long the
way. As the long hand on his short
watch pointed to the hour of four
O'Clock, forty-six minutes, ten sec

in front of The Times office at Butler,
and was telephoning his arrival be-
fore the Review people had had time

of his first time when the accident

Last November tho city of Cleve-
land, O., was cut off from the outer
world by the worst storm of wind and
sleet and snow in it's history. Trac-
ton lines and railways were tied up
for several days. Four days after
the storm. woman reached Cleve-
land to visit her sister. She knew
that the cars were not yet running
on the line she wished to take, and
80 she took car on another line that
would take her to the city limits.
where she hoped to connect with a
car that would take her where she
wanted to go.
Forty minutes later she stepped
from the car at the edge of the city.
Between her and the curbstone a wide
stream Of water six or eight inches
deep was running. As she looked
helplessly about, workingman whose
hair was touched with gray left a
group on the sidewalk, waded out to
her and said: MADAM, you don't
know me. and don't know you, but
II you'll let me, I'll be glad to help you
to the sidewalk She thanked him,
and he took her suitcase to the curb,
splashed back, and taking her up in
his arms, waded with her to the walk.
There he put her down dry-shod, car
ried her suitcase into a nearby store,
and told her he would tell her when
her car came; for he was also waiting
for 1t.
Two hours later he waded with the
suit case to the long-delayed car,
returned, and splashed once more
through the stream of melting snow
as he carried her to the step. Then
he said: II hope you'll be all right,
and took place at the opposite enc
of the car.-Youth's Companion.

Carthage Stone
Adopted by Board

Jefferson City, No.. July IT,
Samples of stone were submitted to
the Capitol Building Commission from
the Burlington limestone quarries at
Carthage and Cassville today.
Those from Carthage were adopted
and those from Cassville were re-
jected.
The approval Of the Carthage sam
Piles for the interior of the Capitol
was unanimous. a..
This resolution, offered by Chair
man E. W. Stephens, was adopted:
Resolved, That while the board re-
serves the right to admit into the
building hereafter stone which in its
judgment, conforms to the standard
quality, color and finish this day APP
proved it distinctly states that no
stone will be permitted in the build
ing samples of which are not APP
proved.
The subcontract Of the Ingalls, Stone
Company was not in form to be taken
up today.
Exercising its option under the
agreementand modified specifications
of June 80, 1914, the commission has
rejected samples Of oolitic limestone
from Ste. Genevieve for interior work
and approved samples Of crystalline
limestone from the same place for
that purpose.
Members of the commission said
their action approving the Carthage
samples in nowise violates the agree
ment and the modified specifications,
and that it does not bar the use Of
stone from any Of the Burlington
limestone quarries named in the
agreement provided they come up %
the standard Of quality, color and
finish adopted.

When the Spanish Taxed Mexico

When the Spanish Taxed Mexico.
The rich Mexican land was divided
between her conquerors and favo-
rites Of the Spanish Crown, and the
trade and commerce of the country
handed over to that great monopoly,
the Real Audiencia de Las Indias, -
which even more rigidly than the
Kings of Spain controlled the govern
ment, the business, the courts and
the industries of all of New Spain and
much Of the mother country.
So powerful that for some genera
tions only one port in Spain could
send vessels to the New World; that
it could and did forbid the culture OF
the vine and olive in South and Cen
trail America; that it established ex-
tionate freights and prices, which
kept millions in poverty and discom-
fort, and utterly ignored any claims
on the part of colonists to official en-
ployment or economical considera-
ton, is perhaps best disclosed by a
declaration made in a Spanish legisla-
tive assemblaee about the year 1914,
Athat as long as one man lived IN
in Spain he has right to the obedi-
ence of every American"
The miner had to give one-fifth OF
his gold and silver to the King; there
were monopolies of salt, tobacco,
quick silver and other articles, and
the tax gatherer let nothing escape
| which the monopolist had overlooked.
There was capitation or poll tax,
duties on imports. a percentage on
all sales of land, another on all sales
of daily necessities and import and
export duties at the borders OF each
Government, and sometimes at the
gates of each city.

ANTI COTTON FUTURES
BILL Is PASSED

Washington, June 29.-The Lever
bill, designed to eliminate gambling
in futures on cotton exchanges was
passed by the House today, "a to 81.
The Lever bill is a substitute for
tho Smith bill that passed the SEN
ate. The senate bill would prohibit
the use of the mails for contracts
that do not meet conditions of stand
ard grades and commercial differ
ences. This is not in the Lever bill.
The senate bill would not tax con-
tracts for future delivery. The house
bill levies a tax of one cent POUND
on all contracts for future deliveries
that does not meet standard grades
and commercial grades as senate bill.
This tax Of one cent a pound is in
tended to be prohibitory, amounting
to $500 contract. There are a num-
Der of other provisions on dealing in
cotton futures designed to eliminate
practices on the New York and New
Orleans exchanges.
