PRECIOUS D0LPHINS.
Marine Monsters That Are Known as
 Whale Killers.

Whale Killers,
 There really is such sea monster as the whale killer. It is one of the largest and most ferocious of all the dolphin family. It also Is known as the grampus. It is characterized as a genus by its large size and the conical and depressed head, devoid of a beak. The back fin is of great length, espe- cially in the males, and the tippers are large and broadly oyate.
 The teeth are comparatively few in number, varying from ten to thir- teen on each side of the jaw, and are much larger than i'll any dolphins yet noticed. being often an inch or more In diameter and having an oval sec. ton. The coloration is striking. the upper parts and fins being black while the lower jaw, chest and under parts are whitish.
 The white area of the under parts does not. however. extend to the tlukes, but ends poSteriorly h a trident, of which the lateral and shorter prOngs exteud oblipuely upward on the Hanks. There is a large white streak above and behind the eye. and frequently at east q purple crescentic area extends across the back behind the fin. Tue killer attalns ;eneth of at least twen- ty feet.-St. Louis Times.

ROOSEVELT SENDS RARE

New York, Feb. 12.-From the wilds
of Paraguay arrived today a big box
consigned to the American Museum of
Natural History. 1t was the first as
sortment of specimens received from
the South American expedition which
Col. Theodore Roosevelt is leading.
There were several species new to
science in the collection, which it is
said represented only one weeks work
by the expedition. 1t comprised rs
mammals and $50 birds.
Among the new specimens were an
ancestral pig" of the guinea variety.
1t is much larger than the domesticated
variety. 1t is gray, too, while its civil
lied descendants affect tan and white
coating most of the time. There was
still another discovery made by Col.
Roosevelt. He ran across some might
monkeys" and one very rare monkey
with an extremely long tail. None of
these is ir the American Museum; in
fact most of the Roosevelt consignment
was of mammals and birds not hereto
fore represented in the institution.
Rabbits, deer and wolves were also in
Guided
In the forty-fifth annual report of the
museum, which will be presented to the
trustees tomorrow, President Henry
Fairfield Osborne includes the Roose-
welt expedition in the twenty-three
parts which made 1918 the greatest ex-
ploration year in the history of the
museum.
Paul j. Rainey, now in British East
Africa, also figures in the list. By coin
cidence, both parties returned specimens
to the museum within the space of q
few days. The Rainey collection in
cluded twelve lions, one monster
two chetah, leopard, two striped hye-
mas, eight jackals, hyrax, dix dix,
three zebras, reed buck, five white
tailed mongoose and a number of other
mammals.

welt. He it was who discovered the
cock the rock two years ago, when ir
Ecuador, and brought back specimen:

Investigations by the British board of
trade have called attention to the Boldly

AUTOMOBILE FATALITIES.

The report of the National Highways
Protective society for 1913 makes pretty
dismal reading. There we've 302 deaths
caused by automobiles last year in New
York city, as compared with 212 for
the year before. During the same
period 103 were fatally hurt by trolley
cars and 1872 by wagons, in the city.
Thus it appears that last year in the
greater city 67 more persons were
killed by automobiles than by all the
other vehicuar traffic put together.
The report further shows that in New
York city in 1913 there were 1,485
victims of automobiles, either killed or
injured sufficiently to require medical
attention. Only 62 persons were ar
rested following these accidents, or
about one in every 25 cases. In one
accident out of every Is the driver
of the automobile ran away without at
tempting to give any aid to the victim
and without making his identity known.
In New York during the past year the
society notes 162 such cases, or about
three every week.
Instead of any decrease in the reck-
less driving of automobiles in New
York city, the figures show distinct
increase. The report urges doing away
with "Police Order No. TO-" which pro-
vides for summons instead of arrest
on the spot for chauffeurs who have run
over and killed human beings. The
society believes that if the driver of ar
automobile which has run over human
being were arrested on the spot it would
make both owners and chauffeurs more
careful.
AS it stands the situation is intoler.
able and even grotesque. The existing
law is so often evaded as to the prac
tically nullifed. Innocent men, womer
and children are slaughtered without
any adequate recognition by the au
thorities, for if the facts were actually
recognized it is inconceivable that the
condition should be allowed to run along
practically unchecked. Mayor Mitche
has many duties, but surely he mus
recognize that this duty of automobile
regulation is pressing. New Yorl

Mrs. storrow in Auto Crash,

Mrs. James ]. Storrow, driving her
limousine on Worcester street near Well
lesley Hills Saturday afternoon, nearly
caused fatal injury to herself, her
chauffeur and friend. Miss Alice San
derson of 20 Vincent street, Cambridge,
when she turned the machine across
the car tracks before a fast-moving
Worcester limited car The street car
hit the limousine, wrecked it and pushed
it so feet along the track.
Mrs. Storrow escaped injury, but the
chauffeur. Fred Rock, who was riding
in the tonneau, was badly shaken, and
Miss Sanderson, who was on the front
seat with Mrs. Storrow, was cut about
the face with glass. She was taken to
the Newton Hospital, but was found
not to be seriously injured. The mo-
torman of the car was Charles Newbegin
of Wellesley and the conductor was
c. W. Davis of birmingham.
The accident happened near the foot
of steep hill on the way to Wellesley.
Mrs. Storrow, who was. driving on the
right hand side of the road, said she
tried to cross the tracks because the
hill on the left side of the tracks is not
as steep as on the right, and the road is
in better condition. Boston Herald.

MOUNTAIN SHEEP ARE WON
DERS.

Columbia Gardens, Butte's pleasure
park, has added to its geological depart
ment two mountain sheep, believed to
be the only two specimens in captivity.
Mountain sheep are the wisest, wall
est and widest of animals, and the
capture of these specimens was hard
fight, says an exchange. After three
weeks chase two rangers traied their
quarry for three days and nights, with
out sleep and with but short rests,
corralling them in one of the widest
spots in the mountains. The captives
are rams, little more than two weeks
old, yet still able to outrun the average
horse.
The men carried the kicking, squirm-
ing, fighting lambs 20 miles over ridge
and through valley to Midvale, the
eastern entrance to the Glacier Ma.
tional park. One of the captive rang
ers says:
1.-THE little sheep can outrun horse
almost at birth, and these two led us 6
long and hard chase. They jumped of
places so high we thought they hat
surely been killed, upon lodges where &
man could not have stood.

we could not be shaken off, they los
their cunning and we caught them in ;

THE BOLDLY LIFE JACKET.

Death in ocean disasters promises to
be robbed of much of its liabilities if
a life jacket invented by G. M. Boldly,
a British experimenter in life-saving
devices, proves its reputed merits.
With theiBoddy vest the wearer can't
drown if he wishes. 1t is automatic
in every feature and, unlike the con-
ventional life belt, it doesn't hinder the
free move nent of the body.
The Boldly jacket is in the nature of
huge breast pad, resembling some
what the chest protector worn by the
baseball umpire. 1t is freely inhtaed
with fiber impervious to water, and
despite its thickness, is quickly attached.
1t occupies half the space of the life
belt now in use.
The disposition of the air pads in
the packet gives the body a face-up-
ward position in the water. A cushion
on the back just below the shoulders,
keeps the wearer's head above sea, no
matter how high the ocean is running.
While gigantic waves may submerge
the wearer for an instant, the head
hobs high out of water an instant later.
The buoyancy of the jacket permits
the wearer TO remain afoat for three
or four days. The question Of sustain
ed life becomes one merely Of physical

Auto Wheel Wrecks Kitchen.

South Norwalk, Ct, Feb. 3.-The
wheel of a large automobile, said to
have been going mile minute, went
through the pantry window of Mrs.
Isabelle Seymour's home here today,
sending dishes in all directions. Then
it entered the kitchen, knocked the
stove to pieces and set the house on fire.
Next it hit the other side of the house,
which stopped it. The wheel which
weighed more than 100 pounds, was
broken from the automobile of William
Kicker of New York, as it was going
down steep Armory.

e-Year-oid Boy Killed by Auto.

Roller skating in the street led to the
death of eight-year-old Michael Down
ing of No. 108 West One Hundred and
Twentieth street. While gliding along
in Lenox avenue, not far from his home,
the boy slipped in front of the automo-
bile of John A. Joseph, jr., broker,
living at No. l West Ninety-thrd
street. Louis Dorm of No. 3l7 East
Nineteenth street was the chauffeur.
The boy was knocked down and his
skull was fractured. He was placed in
the car of John Pral of Paterson, N.
j., which had come up behind the Jo-
seph machine. The lad was taken to
the Harlem hospital, where he died on
the operating table.

MEAT ANIMALS ARE SCARCE.

Washington, Feb. /. -Shortage of
meat animals in the United States was
strikingly demonstrated by compare
tive figures made public today by the
department of agriculture showing that
there are nine less beef cattle,
seven less sheep and three less hogs
now for each 100 persons in the country
than there were in 1910. This means
that it would take IS, 259, 600 more meat
cattle, sheep and swine to give the
present population.the same supply that
the census of 1910 showed to exist.
While the population of the country
is estimated to have increaaed from
81, 962, 900 to SO, SAC, 900 in the past three
years, the number of beef cattle has
decreased 1873 per cent and the sheep,
So per cent. The number of swine in
creased slightly, 1.3 per cent, but it did
not keep up with the proportional
growth population.
In spite of the reduced number it is
estimated that the value of the cattle
in the country increased from 1854,
600, 600 in 1910 to 81, $50, OS7, 900 on jan
uary |.

not be suspected of being anything but
an enemy of child labor as it is ex-
plotted under modern factory condi-
tons. For many years it has battled
for the regulation of the Stock Ex-
change and it's subsection to State
authority. For an even greater num-
Der of years it has battled against the
evils of child labor, and has fought for
stringent State factory laws to main
tain the inaienable rights of childhood.
The World is not concerned about d.
dactic or academic issues of State
rights. 1t would be glad to see the
Stock Exchange brought under the SUI
pervision of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, and it would be equally glad to
see child labor stamped out by act of
Congress; but the two measures in
question seek to establish precedents
which can be regarded only with the
gravest distrust.
If Congress can regulate the Stock
Exchange through the Postal law, it
can regulate every business, trade, pro-
fession or occupation that is in any way
dependent upon the use of the mails.
1t can censor newspapers, books and
magazines. 1t can deny the use of the
mails to every department store that
does not sell its goods on scale of
prices fixed by Congressional decree,
and it can shut the parcel post to every
farmer who does not till his land in
accordance with the edicts of the Agri-
cultural Department.
AS for the principle involved in the
Palmer Child-Labo bill, its extension
would put Congress in complete control
of all the activities of the country. By
the simple process of excluding from
interstate commerce all commodities
that are not produced in accordance
with regulations prescribed by Con-
gress, supervision of all the industrial
and agricultural undertakings of the
American people would be centralized
in Washington. When the authority to
regulate commerce is construed as the
authority to prohibit commerce, then
Congress is intrusted with the power of
life or death over all trade, manufac-
ture, commerce and production, to be
i; used wisely or unwisely as Congress
happens to see fit.
Unless there are safer ways for the
National Government to deal with the
Stock Exchange and with child labor
than Senator Owen and Representative
Palmer have devised, it would be much
wiser to leave these issues to the State!
and to the public opinion which has moi
only brought the Stock Exchange to it,
knees but which has enacted even il
the corrupt and boss-ridden State o.
New York the most humane code Of
factory legislation yet devised on the
American Continent.

gerous than the disease, and a New

Urges Severer Speed Laws.

The special committee of the Board
of Aldermen, which is considering a
more drastic ordinance for violators of
the automobile speed law, has received
communication from Chief Magistrate
Kempner, in which he urges severer
penalty. Mr.. Kempnei says in his re-
port that in the past year $72,57 had
been collected in fines in BROOKLYN and
Queens, which is s27, 1872 more than the
preceding year. He attributes the in
crease to the enforcement of the speed
laws.
'Chauffeurs without character or
scruples, says the magistrate, GLADLY
avail themselves of the alternative of
one days incarceration in the court cell
rather than pay the heavy fine of $25,
for the Jail sentence ends with the
court day at o'clock. There should be
a real Jail sentence or heavy pecuniary
penalty. - Brooklyn Eagle.

To the police Mrs. Edwards said it
was impossible for her to get the num-
Der of the automobile because of the
high speed at which the machine was
travelling. She was able, however, to
give an excellent description of the
machine, and the fact that two of it's
tires exploded will, it is thought, make
detection of the man who was driving it
and the woman who was riding with
him possible. A general alarm was.
sent out for the car in every police pre-
cinct in New York.

NEW YORK LEADS LONDON.

New York City leads London in popu-
lation by 100000, according to the
computations made recently by Dr. w.

Health. After deal of figuring he
fixes New York's population at 5,376,
966, total based on the city's presump-

made.
This comparison, however, does not
include as part of London that city's
large suburban area. While New York
is gaining rapidly in population, the city
and county of London is retrogressing.

Held For Reckless DRIVING.

Jamaica, L. l., February2 2. 49, Charged
with recklessly driving an automobile,
Michael Wogwarowski of l16 Suydam
street, Brooklyn, was arrested, yester-
day, by Detective Christopher Mehling
of the Jamaica Police Precinct and hailed
before Magistrate Harry Miller in the
Jamaica police court.
1t was charged that the automobilist
knocked over and injured Joseph
Wheeler, IL years old, of 10 North
Washington street, last Friday. The
boy was distributing circulars when he
was struck at the corner of New York
avenue and Fulton street. Wogwarow-
ski, who, the police say, was the driver
of the machine, got away. A police of
ficer at the Queens booth, Jericho turn
pike and Hemstead road, tried to stop
the auto driver as he was going east.
but did not succeed. Several people
made notes of the license number on the
car, and through this the operator was
traced.
Magistrate Miller held the defendant
in $500 bail until Thursday.
