A Chinese Superstition.

When a Chinese baby takes a nap
people think It's soul is having a rest
going out for long walk perhaps. If
the nap is a very long one the mother
is frightened. She is afraid that her
baby's soul has wandered too far away
and cannot find its way home. If 1t
doesn't come back, Of course the baby
will never awaken. Sometimes men
are sent out into the streets to call the
baby's name over and over again, as
though it were a real child lost They
hope to lead the soul back home II n
baby sleeps while 1t is being carried
from one place to another the danger
of losing the soul along the way is very
great So whoever carries the little one
keeps saying its name out loud, so that
the soul will not stray away. They
think Of the soul as a bird hopping
along after them.

Have you ever noticed, when the wa
ter has almost all run out of the bath
tub, how the light particles on the sur
face seem then to race out much faster
than the water? AS a matter of fact,
they are travelling faster than most Of
the water, but no faster than that on
the surface
The reason is not far to seek. Run
ming water, even In a river, goes at diff
ferent rates, but fastest on the top sur
face right In the middle Of the stream.
Friction with the sides and bottom
makes the water there go more slowly.
So the light particles on top Of the
water in the bathtub, along with the
surface water, rush ahead at a good
rate.
This particular popularity in rivers
is utilized by boatmen when they have
to go up a swift stream; they always
paddle up near the bank. And at curves,
as the water swings outward, they
take the inside bank, for there the
water is almost still. On the other
hand, in coming down the very center
of the stream is chosen.-St Louis Re

Washinaton Official Life.

Dinners and social functions are
conspicuous features of Washington
life. The new senator or congressman
always feels that he must keep up the
pace, but his older colleagues do not
hesitate to send in their regrets now
and then. One senator whose young
daughters make severe demands upon
him as an escort to official functions,
said:
II have cut out all dinners and func
tons except those / feel under oblign
lions to attend in my official capacity.

MosIems of the World,

1t is a striking fact that there are
100000 more Moslems than Chris
uans In the British empire One-sev.
entb of the whole human race Is Mos
lem. The really significant fact is that
the proportion is not at a standstill; II
Is increasing yearly. There are CO..
100000 Mohammedans In India, and
the number is steadily growing Dur
ing the last decade the Moslem popu
letion Of India increased by per cent
while the total population of India in
creased by only 2 per cent. Many
more natives are becoming Moham-
medans every year than are turning to
Christianity. There are 24,000,O00 Mo.
hammedans in Java. Mohammedanism
is absolutely dominant in Persia. To-
day nearly all the sacred places named
in the Bible are under Mohammedan
rule. These are but few instances

Taking Time by the ForeIoek.


A peculiar phenomenon was observed
In east end society circles recently. A
certain college youth barely twenty
years OF age has been making himself
very agreeable and popular with a
crowd Of little girls. Now, twenty Is
the age when boys usually shun the
society Of children and spruce them
selves up for "fussing" with their own
contemporaries. But this youth firts
not. neither does he dance. The debu.
tantes sigh after him, but in vain. He
buys candy for maidens nine and ten
years old. but none for their elder and
presumably more attractive sisters.
You like little girls, don't you.

upon the science of physlognomy.
Great and lasting as were Lavater's
contributions to the Science" he was
by no means the first in the field. The

old Greek, Aristotle. Aristotle seemed
to have thought Of pretty nearly every
thing, and among the rest Of things he
thought Of was physlognomy, the art

YOUTH INJURED;
AUTO|ST QU|zzEI
Newarker Run Down by Ma
chine in Kearny-Driver
Never Stopped.

Mystery surrounds the accident in
which Carl Sandal, twenty years old,
of 43 South Twelfth street, this city,
was injured in Kearny yesterday.
The youth, riding on a bicycle, was
hurled from the wheel when he was
struck by an automobile. He landed
against a Harrison line trolley car.
The machine that struck Sandal
never stopped. Witnesses furnished
description to the police and Motor
cycle Policeman James Collins, with
little clue to work on, rounded up
Frederick Ensor, an Arlington busi>
ness man. When questioned by Col
Inns, Ensor, the bluecoat says, asked
him If it had been said that he had
hit the boy or If the boy had run into
the automobile.
Ensor was in the Kearny police
station today. He admitted, II Is
said, having been on Kearny avenue
at the time of the accident. He told
the police, it Is said, he saw a boy on
a bicycle near Halstead street. His
eyes were focused, Ensor said, on a
sand pile which was near the trolley
tracks. He figured on passing the
point before the car SO as not to ba
damned.
The Sandal boy, 1t seems. was rid
ing near the car and was bound north,
as was the car and auto. One of the
mudguards of the auto struck the
lad. 1t is believed, and he was sent
HURTING through the air. His body
struck the car. The machine never
stopped. The motorman, however,
brought the trolley to- a stop within
a short distance.
Pedestrians picked up the injured
lad. He was placed in the automobile
owned by DIR. Walter r. Rieck and
taken to Stumpf Memorial Hospital,
Kearny. 1t was found he had sus-
tanned a f1fteen-inch cash in his right
side and hip. His condition is said
to be serious.
Ensor, who has engaged James
Gillespie, an Arlington lawyer, to rep
resent him, has not been arrested.
The police, it is said, have witnesses
who declare Ensor drove his car rap
idly along Kearny avenue. Motor
cycle Policeman Collins was COM
mended for his work in the case.

WEST HUDSON NEWS
Man Who Accused Boy of
Assault Must Face Charge

When Sylvester Plitzkolf, a middle
aged man, of Harrison avenue, Kear-
ny, visited the town police court a
sew days ago and lodged a charge
against Frank Rognold, ten years
old, for assault, Police Recorder
Leonard A. WINNER issued a sum-
mons for the lad. The case was to
have come up in court last night.
The boy, however, failed to appear.
His father, John Rognoki, explained
that his son was unable to leave his
bed because of the beating adminis-
tered by Plitzkolf.
The elder Rognoki said his son
had been beaten because eggs had
been thrown at the complainant.
After hearing the story Recorder
WINNER issued warrant for Plitz-
kolf's arrest. He will get hearing
tonight, when, it Is expected, the boy
will be able to appear against him.
Roundsman Magee arrested Phtzkolf.

Will Review Convictions
in Summit "Speak-Easy"
Cases Next Wednesday
Special to the Evening Star.


SUMMIT, July 23.--After hearing
argument Of counsel, Judge James C.
Connolly in the Court of Common
Pleas in Elizabeth yesterday, fixed
next Wednesday as the day when he
will review the records in the cases
of the eight foreigners who were con-
victed before Police Justice Arthur
w. Hicks two weeks ago of conduct
ing disorderly houses.
In yesterdays hearing before Judge
Connolly j. Victor D'Aloia, of Newark,
appeared for the convicted men and
John B. Walsh, of this city, repre-
scented this city. Mr.. Walsh argued
that the petition for a review of the
proceedings in the trials of the men
before Justice Hicks here was insult
ficient, in that it did not set forth
should be held to be irregular.
On this point Lawyer D'Aloia con-
tended that it is set forth in the petit
ton for review that the defendants
were arrested and denied the priv
ilege of obtaining legal advice and
convicted. Judge Connolly upheld
the Newark lawyers contention on
this point. Lawyer Walsh also main
tanned that since the convicted men
had given notice of appeal in seeking
a review of the police court records in
the cases the convicted mems coun-
sci was taking advantage of the rene
dies for the same object. The court
ruled, however, that when the cases
come up on appeal the city's counsel
may raise the point that the cases
have been passed on according to
such action as the court may take
next Wednesday.
