First United States Treasurer.

Alexander Hamilton was the first
secretary of the treasury 17S9-95).
Michael Hillegas was the first United
States treasurer. Iillegas was ap-
pointed to the Office July 20, 1775,
when he and George Clymer were cho-
sen together in the formation of what
was the germ of the treasury depart
ment. Hillegas served alone through
practically his entire term, however,
as Clymer soon resigned to take seat
as delegate to congress. Hillegas
term expired September II, 1889, and
he was succeeded by Samuel Meredith.
Both men were from Pennsylvania.
The treasury department was formally
organized by act of September 2, 1888,
but, strictly speaking, this was merely
a reorganization, for the department
under various names had been in exis-
tence since 1775.

HAVE MANY FINE QUALITIES
Italian Cattle, II Is Thought, Might
With Profit Be Imported Into the
United States.

The white cattle which predominant
in northern Italy are of the Piedmont
breed, and are particularly suitable as
work animals. A yoke of these oxen
of large size weigh $500 to 4,4oo
pounds. The weight Of fine white
COW of the Piedmont breed is 1910 to
LAO pounds. Steers attain about
1880 pounds. The Piedmont bull
reaches about 1900 to 2,420 pounds.
Another breed of white cattle is also
found in Italy, known as Roman. This
breed. however, is not, properly speak
ing, of northern Italian origin, but
comes from the neighborhood of
Rome. in central Italy. The oxen of
this breed are also particularly adapt
ed as work animals, but are not so
good for slaughter. their meat being
not of such fine quality as that of the
Piedmont variety.
There is also a breed of pure white
cattle in Italy, known as Chianina.
These cattle are of enormous size and
weight, less adapted to work, but are
for slaughter. There are oxen of the
Chianina breed weighing from 1850
to $500 pounds each.
1t is the opinion Of breeders and
dairymen in this district that none of
the above breeds of cattle have been
exported to North America. There are
many breeders in Italy of the several
classes of white cattle, but there are
none who raise them especially for
export.

VICE CHARGED TO MOSQUITO
Natives Of Tropics Can't Be Moral, 10
Argument Made by Some
Missionaries.

Those who complain of mosquitoes
here ought to be thankful that eondi
tions here are not the same as in CEN
trail America a returned traveller
said. As soon as a man sets foot
in the wilds down there he is intro
duced to this Unsuitable pest. The
mosquito will cling to him in waking
and sleeping hours, testing all ais pow
ers of endurance and leaving him so
thoroughly SCARED that many a mis-
sionary acquires the appearance OF
one who has barely emerged from the
throes of some deadly and pernicious
disease"
In the annual report of the Ameri-
can Bible society, which is now be-
ing prepared for publication, many
Bible distributors testify to the suffer
ing caused by contact with mosquitoes
in the hot belt countries. The in
sect, not heathenism, is the mission
aries worst enemy. Even the natives
are engaged in constant battle with
the pests. They prevent sleep, they
inject the food, they carry in their
trail microbes and germs of destruc-
ton.
Many missionaries believe that the
mosquito is actually responsible for
the vicious and deceptive traits of
character which prevail among the ma
tiyes. They can't possibly be happy
or moral under the continued assault
IF sueh an enemy tn physical comfort.
it is argued.

Fun in the Class.

The late Professor Key, when head
master of a large London school, was
one of the most genial gentlemen that
ever filed that position. He was fond
of encouraging fun in his boys, and
was not averse to recounting occa-
sionally during class time. when any
thing prompted it, the manners and
customs of countries he had visited.
On one occasion he was telling his
class about Spain, and said:
do you know, boys, that when a
man attains to eminence there he is
not called sir but is given the title
of DOM"
One of the boys here called out:
Then. I suppose. sir, they would
call you Don-Key"
The gravity of the class was COM
pletely upset for the remainder of the
afternoon.

HAS EARNED ITS POPULARITY
Turkey Welcomed In Every Country
Where the People Appreciate
Good Things to Eat.

In every corner of the globe almost,
at least where civilization has spread
it's epicurean tastes, may be found the
domesticated turkey-not, however, of
his own volition. Never would he, In
his wild state, have sought to cross
the stormy seas to find green fields
and pastures new.
He is not so constructed. He Is not
bold or adventurous of disposition.
On the contrary, he Is timid and much
afraid of things he does not under
stand, and when undisfurbed is prone
to let well enough alone and get along
with his accustomed feeding grounds.
Again, as fiier the turkey is not
a pronounced success. He flies pom
derously, almost painfully, and with
great effort and only when much
frightened His fight can be sus-
tanned for only a short distance. but
what the wild turkey lacks as an avn
ator he fully makes up as sprinter.
He can outrun race horse, espe-
cialIy In his own native forest, where
underground and bushes seem but to
add to his speed. But he could not
have flown over the ocean even il he
had had that unnatural desire.
He was taken over by the hand OF
man, first to Spain, then to other Medi-
terranean countries, to northern Eu-
rope, to the far East, until now he is
well-nigh omnipresent. And this
spreading out Of his kind even unto
the ends of the earth is all due to the
enhancing qualities his meat takes on
when properly baked or roasted.

inxention Of Photoaranhx

The earliest experiments in the d.
rection of photography were made by
Wedgewoad and Day, but the first
photograph was actually produced in a
camera made by Daguerre and part
ner about 1889. In 1910 the first pho
tograph-portrait was made by Profess
sor John W. Draper, an American.
Progress was made in the work for
Fox Talbot, 1841, and Scott Archer,
1851, with the glass plate. The
gelatine-bromide dry plate was invent
ed in 1871 by Maddox, and greatly i'm
proved by Bennett IN 1873. AS in many
other inventions, it Is practically I'M

Road Laws Of 100 Men.

New Haven.-Over 100 men, en-
ployes of the repair department of the
New Haven road at Readville and
Hartford were discharged by the COM
pany. The explanation given by the
road is that the men were employed
in the railroad shops repairing en-
gines and that as all the engines have
been put in condition it was unneces-
sary to longer employ the men. The
road has ordered, it was stated by
Manager Bardo at the conference with
the manufacturers, 33 new engines,
which will not reach their destination
until April The discharge of the men
may affect the situation which is now
in process of settlement between the
members of the system and the road,
one of the grievances of which was
the short time upon which boilermak-
ers and employees of the mechanical
department were working.

Much Interest Being Shown in De-

Elects New Law Dean
Overstate News

New Haven-That the single case
disclosed by the arrests made by the
state police at the saloon of Mrs. Mol
ly Reynolds at SO Grand avenue is
not the only bit OF work the state po
lice have been engaged in here on
their visits the past four Sundays
was shown by the their making OF
eleven supplemental arrests involving
six other places besides that Of MIS-.
Reynolds. That quite an extensive
campaign has been under way was
made evident by developments and
when the net dragged in these addi-
tional cases and the news began to
get abroad there was much interest
shown in the apparent crusade. Now
the question uppermost in many minds
is whether still more places are in
cluded and still to be acted against
or whether the warrants cover the re-
suits of the state police work here so
far. The arrests were made by Ser
geant Bridgman and Policeman Stiles.
The state police were especially ac-
tive in the Howard avenue precinct.
A saloon at 1S9 Union avenue was
visited and Michael j. Stokes, ST.,
proprietor of the establishment, and
Michael J. Stokes, jr,. a bartender,
we're taken into custody on warrants
prepared by Liquor Prosecutor Dick
erman, charging Sunday selling. Luke
McGovern in company with his broth
err James, were also arrested at the
saloon of the former. located at SO
Putnam street for alleged liquor vio-
lation, by selling at unlawful hours.
Catherine Monohan, who conducts
n boarding house at 313 West Water
street, after a visitation of the state
police, was arrested, charged with
selling liquor without a license.
A grocery store at 692 Congress ave-
nue. was also visited and the proprie-
tor, Mrs. Ellen Henahan, was taken
in on warrant charging selling of IL
quor without license.

ESTIMATING AGE OF EARTH
Biologists Have Differed Greatly as
to the Time II Has Been in
Existence.

AS long ago as 1860 John Phillips,
the geologist, estimated that the time
required for the deposition of the stra
tilted rocks lay between $4,000 900 and
9t,000,000 years. This was probably
the only estimate prior 20 Kelvin
epoch making paper of 1862. Since
that time many estimates have been
made, varying all the way from II 000,.
600 years to 100000 years. Kelvin
was the first to discuss the age OF The
earth considered as a cooling body.
In 1898 Clarence King introduced the
important criterion of tidal stability
and reached the conclusion that "a.
100000 represented the conditions.
This result was adopted by Kelvin in
1897 and then he placed the limits as
10000 600 and 40,000,000 years. Only
Sir George Darwin has discussed the
age of the earth from a purely astro-
nomical point of view. From his theory
of the earth-moon system he derived
an estimate of more than 56.000.000
years. which for long time stood be-
tween groups of higher and lower fig
ures. j. Jolly was the first to base
estimates of the age of the earth, in
1899, on the sodium contained in the
ocean. Adopting the hypothesis that
the sodium content of the ocean is
derived at a constant rate from that
of the rocks, he arrived at an age of
10000, 600 or 90,000,000 years, and in
creased this by 100000 in 1900. In
1909 Mr.. Scllas made searching in
quiry into this subject and placed the
age of the ocean at between S0,000,000
and 150,O00,000 years.

New Haven.-Thomas Walter Swan

Vale Law School at a meeting of the
Yale Corporation. He succeeds Judge
Henry Wade Rogers of the United
States Circuit Court, who found that
with the burden of his court duties he
was unable to continue the heavy ad-
ministrative work in the law school.
Judge Rogers, however will retain a
professorship in the school.
Mr.. Swan is a member of the law
firm of Bentley, Burling & Swan, Of
Chicago. He was graduated from
Yale in 1900 and from the Harvard

timidity, and his expedition is a fail

Now other raids have occurred, our
citizens have been murdered and kid
mapped, Funston has demanded $4,000

on across the border, supported by
the $4,000 National Guardsmen, and
followed by levies of volunteers, Mex
leo would have come to her senses in
short order, for nothing impresses
them as much as promptness and
firmness. But the timidity and pro-
crastination of two presidents has
caused them to view US as a bunch
