WILL NOT POSTPONE BIG FAIR
War in Europe Will Not Cause Post
ponement of Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition

San Francisco.-The Panama-Pacific
international exposition will not be
postponed on account of the war in
Europe. On the contrary, it will open
Oh the scheduled date, February 20,
1915, and it will be completely ready
when opened. Such is the announce
ment of President Charles c. Moore.
There is not the slightest reason"
SAYS Mr. Moore, ito believe the sue
cess of the exposition will be i'm
paired by the war. Not one of the
belligerent nations has given notice
of intention to withdraw it's participa-
ton. Several of them have sent word
that their plans are unchanged, and
Holland has increased it's appropria-
ton from 100000 to 100000. The
fact that the war will make the United
States of supreme importance among
the nations it is believed will increase
the domestic participation, and cam
paign already is being started to make
the exposition the place for an inter
national peace conference next year.

CAVALRY RIDES TO DEATH
British Regiment Rushes on Barbeo
Wire and Is Cut to Pieces
by Germans.

London.-A private letter received
here from a British officer at the
front tells how British cavalry regi-
ment suffered severe loss through a
ruse of the enemy.
The regiment, it seems. sighted a
German battery not far off firing in
a reverse direction, and the British
officer decided that the battery was
unaware of their presence, whereupon
he ordered a cavalry charge down into
the valley which lay between them
and the battery.
Unfortunately the bottom Of the val
ley had been very cleverly studded
with concealed barbed wire, into which
a great portion of the regiment rushed
before the front rank could give warn
ing. Immediately the German battery
turned it's guns around, INJECTING
heavy loss.

CARGO OF REPTILES
Odd Shipment Reaches New York
From Colombia.
Three-Legged Frogs, Cublst Tortolses
and OwI-Headed Monkeys Going
to the British Museum-HoW
Arrows Are Poisoned.

New York-H G. F. Spurrell, M. A.,
M. B., B. Ch., Oxon.; F. q. S.. Lon
don, and graduate of the London
School of Tropical Medicine is in our
midst. He arrived from the wilds OF
Colombia aboard the steamship Pas
torres of the United Fruit line and he
will sail for England with as strange
a collection of reptiles and bugs as
was ever dreamed of by an overindul-
gent Omar.
Mr.. Spurrell of the many degrees
is connected with the British museum
and for the last twelve months he
has been ransacking the Choco dis
trict of Colombia in quest of strange
snakes, bugs and such like things.
He is taking back to England over
1000 specimens, most of which have
never been classified by science.
Among his collection are several
three-legged frogs and pair of Gu
Dist tortoises. The frogs live in trees
and they are used by the Indians to
obtain poison for their spears and ar
rows. The method by which the In
dams obtain this poison is barbarous
to say the least.
1T has been generally supposed"
said the scientist and explorer, that
! the Indians obtain the poison for their
! arrows and spears by taking the
venom of snakes This is not true.
! They capture lot of the three-legged
! tree frogs and proceed to affiX them to
sticks and then toast them gently over
/ fire. The frogs under the toasting
begin to sweat deadly poison which
! is collected, and into this the arrow
heads and spear points are dipped.
| The poison is extremely venomous and
once it enters the human blood death
results instanter."
The scientist tells of many strange
! reptiles and mammals he encountered
in the Choco wilds. Principal among
these is the owl-headed monkey
These monkeys, according to Mr.
Spurrell, differ but little from the
monkeys we are all familiar with ex
cept that their heads bear a strong
resemblance to the boot owl.
The boot owl monkeys give voice te
terrible sounds not unlike that made
by the circus calliopes of our child
hood days. These boot owl monkeys
travel in groups of six or seven and
their voices all differ. When they
yowl or howl or screech they do no
do SO in unison, but each follows the
other The result is that a party o

that terrify the strongest hearts.
The explorer also describes spe
cies of ape, known as the sobbin,
, monkey. This weeping creature seem
: perfectly tame and follows in'the walk
of the natives who happen his way
, giving voice to loud lamentations. TIL
natives who are thus followed consid
