HOT SPRINGS, Va, Dec. 3l.-Presi- dent Wilson's official New Years re- ception will be given here tomorrow in the public lounge of the hotel where he and Mrs. Wilson are passing their honeymoon. Word of the reception went forth today and people for miles around are planning to join the Hot Springs winter colony in line to shake hands with the chief executive and his wife
 Two years ago the president spent the holiday season in Pass Christian, Miss, and last year there was no New Years reception at the White House.
 The president and his wife played golf today before a large gallery and took an automobile ride over a new mountain road. Later Mir. Wilson spent two hours at work, reading and dictating many lettert.
 He sent the following telegram to Charles NJ. Andrist, who was private secretary to the late Governor Ham mond of Minnesota:
 twill you convey to Governor Ham mond's family and publicly express for me my profound sympathy and sin cere regret for his death? I am sure this must be the sentiment of the whole country and Of all who knew his ster- ling character"
 No comment was made by the president on the news dispatches say ing Austria Hungary had made fav- orable reply to the second note of the United States regarding the sinking of the liner Ancona. It is understood, however, that the situation growing out of the Ancona incident is regarded as having cleared up to such an eX- tent that Secretary Lansing will not

 FAR FROM PORT

NEW YORK. Dec. 31.-The Greek steamer Thessalorikj. which has been in distress for more than week. is still far from this port with her 300 passengers. Distress calls signed by the chief officer. contradicting "aUs well" dispatches from the captain. and hazy statements of her position. have made the Thessaloniki a ship of mys- tery.
 The coast guard cutter Seneca has searched for the Greek liner two days in succession. Now the F'loriZel of the Red Cross line, on her way from Hali- fax to Cuba. is nearing the disabled ship trying to find her, having picked up wireless message that the Thes- saloniki was drifting helplessly.
 At the office of the local agents of the line, Gallanos x Co, little concern was exhibited today over the vessel It was said that the line expected the Thessalonikj to arrive safely in time.

 In Sioux City crepe was hung on many of the saloon doors. one door displayed the sign: "Our finish January l, 1916. Why not qgit drinking now before the law makes you?"

 Police officers and deputy sheriffs were stationed in all the larger res taurants and grills. but little effort was made to curb the hilarity.
 The circulation of reports that the supplies of liquors and wines in the srills probably would be exhausted before midnight caused heavy buying by the early patrons. Parties sat at tables which in some instances were completely covered by bottles of wine ordered in advance.

TRAPPED BY HIS BLIND RAGE.
For Stupid obstinacy Himaiayan
Bear Takes the Prize.

Bear Takes the Prize.
Most wild animals are stupid as well
as greedy, but for sheer brainIess OBJ
stinacy in the face of opposition .
writes Prince Sarath Ghosh in his book
The Wonders of the Jungle" there Is
40 animal like the Himalayan bear. If
he finds a thing in his way he viii al
ways push it aside. if he can. even
though it would be easier to go round
the obstacle.
"The willy natives Of India have OBJ
perved that trait In his character and
from 1t have contrived a trap to catch
him. They select tree with a suitable
horizontal bough. At a point on the
bough about ten or twelve feet from
the fork they fasten bait likely to at
tract the bear-honey. for example. or
oats flesh Then from another bough
above that one they suspend heavy
block of stone. The rope is so attached
to the upper bough that the stone
hangs between the bait and the fork of
the tree
The bear scents the bait from dis.
lance, comes to the tree. sees the food
on the bough and climbs up the trunk
II the tree Reaching the bongh, he
walks along 1t to get at the bait. But
suddenly he notices the obstacle In the
way and pushes it aside with his paw
The stone swings out of the way for
second, then it swings back and hits
the bear on the paw. With growl of
irritation the bear pushes it aside more
violently. The stone swings away
again; then it returns with greater
force and hits the bear on the chest.
With a snarl of rage the bear gives
the stone a tremendous thrust and
sends 1t up into the air in a wide
curve. Then down comes the stone in
similar curve and hits the bear a
humping whack on the ribs.
Most animals would desist after that
third blow; not so the bear He is now
in perfectly mad rage, and bear is a
good boxer. He hits out with his paws
right and left and sends the stone
hurting forward in a still wider curve.
Then after a few seconds the stone
comes back and hits the bear a terrific
'uppercut' on the jaw.
The bear is reused to white hot
fury. He thinks an enemy is hiding
behind the stone-as an enemy might
do In the jungle-and he is determined
to reach that enemy.
But, alas. the bear never went to
school and learned the law of gravity!
Every blow he hits the stone is re-
turned tenfold. And as the stone has
no brains to be Knocked out it is the
bear that gets knocked out at last. He
will never, never give in until he is
knocked out-of the tree.
Then the willy natives hiding below
rush IN with a net and throw it quick
" over him
And that Is how many menageries
and ZOOS get their Himalayan bear"

CUNNING NEST BUILDERS.
Hummins Birds Homes Are Not Hid
den, Vet They DEFY Detection.

Humming Birds Homes Are Not Hid
den, Yet They Defy Detection.
Even in those parts of tropical Amer
lea where, as In Colombia. humming
birds are vastly numerous, it is almost
impossible for the most experienced
naturalist to find their nests. In this.
although as rule they are not hidden
at all, the feathered builders relying
for concealment upon the likeness OF
their tiny houses to the surroundings
amid which they are placed. A hum
mer's nest always corresponds exactly
In color with the branch to which it is
attached. 1t may initiate a knot or
other excrescence. Thus the Calliope
humming bird of the western United
States often builds on dead pine
twig, either upon or near a cone of
similar size and hue.
Usually the nests of humming birds
are cup shaped or turban shaped. and
their material is always plant down.
Such down, resembling cotton wool.
but Of more delicate fiber. is gathered
from the stems of ferns and other
plants This Is woven together with
spiders webs into compact mass
Usually they ornament the outside OF
the nest with small feathers or lichens
which they obtain by detaching them
from the rocks where these humble
plants grow. These they fasten with
cobwebs all over the exterior of their
tiny house.
When these wee architects suspend
their nets from leaves or ten lrils they
are always weighted for stability in
order that they may not be upset by
every passing breeze. For this pur-
pose the bottom is made very thick.
But the most remarkable expedient is
that adopted by the hill stars, which
dwell far up near the snow line of the
Andes. They weight the tiny suspend
ed house on the lighter side with a
pebble TO give the proper balance.
There is no question whatever that
this Is done, and many of the nests Of
such species preserved In collections
are found to contain pebbles Rose L.
