REVEAL sPLEEN's MYSTERY
U. of P. Professors Tell of Expert,
ments With Mice.

What is the SpleenI
This organ, together with the appendix,
has long been one OF the most battling
of mysteries to medical science. Two
University of Pennsylvania professors.
DR.. Paul A. Lewis and DR.. A. T. Margot.
told the students Of the University Medi-
cal School last night that they had been
making experiments for more than year
and were now able to add to medical
knowledge the fact that the spleen has a
relation TO the digestive system.
They arrived at this belief after care
fully watching the effects which a daily
course of human spleen has had upon
the digestion OF mice The results were
thus summarized:
Tests of the blood OF spleen-fed mice
show that the coagulation of the blood
is much slower than In normal mice The
showing of blood coagulatlon is about
the same as that which takes place when
the mice are fed portions of the human
stomach.
The professors said they had no way
OF knowing how the food appealed to the
mice.

Is it not bound to mean economy? Good, real
economy with good legitimate reasons back of it
reasons that anybody understand, because it is
plain that when a store takes twenty-eight
loads of furniture from one maker at once and a
thousand bureaus from another the size of the
order easily compensates both makers for letting
go large percentage of their usual profit without
letting the quality down even by hairs breadth.

TRANSFER OF DACIA
OPENS NEW DISPUTE
ON ALLEGED FRAUD
Reported Price Involved, In
surance and Stipulation
Barring Trade With AL
lies Threatens Neutrality.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-ComplIcations,
Involving bad faith in the sale OF the cot
ton steamship Dacia threaten to widen
the scope Of diplomatic problems con-
nected with the sailing Of the cargo from
| Galveston.
1t is alleged that the Bacla has been
insured in Hamburg for $4,000 and an
Investigation Is under way to determine
/ whether there is basis for an assertion
that the insurance was placed by the
| Hamburg-Amerlcan Company No doubt
exists In well-nformed circles here that
the $4,000 insurance was obtained in
Hamburg when It was found impossible
to obtain such protection for the hull
| from the Federal War Risk Insurance
Bureau or from an American company.
The Government was willing to insure
only the cargo Of cotton
1t is understood that the British Gov
ernment has certain definite information
regarding the source OF the insurance and
that 1t suspects that the insurance was
placed by the Hamburg-Amerlcan Com
pany. Should this charge be proved, It
would be used as evidence before n prize
court that the sale was not of that gem
une and complete character which both
this Government and Great Britain re-
gard as being required by recognized prin-
ciples of international law to make A
transfer of a belligerent merchant vessel
to neutral flag bona fide during hostil-
tiles.
Furthermore. It is contended that docu-
mentary evidence exists that the sale of
the Dacla was made under the stipula-
tion that the ship should not be used by
the new owners In trade with or between
British and French ports. This in itself
would destroy the neutral character of
the status of the Dacla as vessel trans
ferred to neutral flag during hostillties
and would 1t Is said, Justify the British
Government in seizing the Dacla and per-
haps in contiscating her.
The price of sl65,O0 paid for the Dacia
by Edward N Breitung and his asso-
ciates is said to be considerably less than
her value. It is declared that the own
ers of the Dacia are to be paid $4,000
for the transportation of the cotton from
Galveston to Rotterdam. In these circum-
stances the owners would receive $4,000
more than the purchase price of the
vessel for the maiden voyage under the
American flag. The value of the cotton
to be transported is understood to be
about s75OOOO.
GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. 27.-At 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon the steamship
Dacia left Pier and steamed to Bolivar
Roads, where she dropped anchor, pre-
pared to sail at any minute orders arrive
for her departure.
The agents and skipper of the Dacia
Will not divulge the reasons for the delay,
but they assert there are certain myster-
GUS papers en- route from New York
for which the vessel must wait.
The local representative said today:
"All this talk about the owners or skip
per losing their nerve is rot The ship
will sail for Rotterdam as soon as GER
tain details which We cannot discuss are
arranged. The boat will not sail today,
but Is likely to sail at any hour to-
morrow"

100 Tons per Day

The Jumbo Extension mine is east
ly maintaining its new rate OF pro-
duction, two carloads or 100 tons Of
ore daily, which was inaugurated

the operations being prosecuted on

Shaft Leads to
BOttOmleSS Pit

Messrs Mccarthy and Mooney,
~leasers on southeast block No. ) on
the Bannock group Of claims, now
have the deepest workings at Vol
cano, or for that matter anywhere
east of Tonopah in Nye county. Last
Sunday at about noon the miners EN-
ployed on the lease found to their
amazement and surprise that the bits
of their drills were striking nothing
harder than air. They withdrew the
drills and inserted their long scrap
ers with like result.
They decided to solve the mystery
and loaded up the holes and then as
cended to the top to await the result
of the shots. When the shaft vas
clear OF powder swoke they found to
their great establishment that they
had uncovered a cave the vent CT
which averaged from one and a halt
feet to two and a half feet wide,
running due north. At a distance Of
about fifty feet the vent appears 70
widen but no estimate can be given
as to it's extent or dimensions. Rocks
dropped into the yawning depths be-
low can be heard falling against the
sides and walls of the ave for many
minutes and it is possible that it ex-
tends thousands of feet in depth. Mr..
Mccarthy contemplates securing
rope and tackle and exploring nd
lures work and it is possible that he
will find something worth while.
The top of the ave was entered al
fifty-five foot depth in the shaft,
which round Of shots lowered it IL
sixty feet.-Bonanza.

what it is. Maybe you think it
pleasant to walk down the street

tic criticism and the editor to con-
Sciousless scorn! Maybe you

Don't forget that. What would
you think if the editor put some of
your mistakes into the paper?
Remember when Brown, who
shaves himself, came to church
with a fine patch of whiskers on
his chin which he had overlooked ?
And when Miss Prim let the shoe
string on her switch hang down
her back? And how Elder Jones
caught the tail of his long coat
over the neck of the bottle in his

street showing that sometimes the
strongest in faith are weakest in

ton of telling these things. AS

way. just remember, though,
that we are all prone to errors,
