 But it was learned yesterday that depredations had taken place in the authors home similar to those in the houses of James l.. Laidlaw, at No. 6 East Sixty-sixth Street. and Alfred Wolff, at No. 48 East Seventy-sixth Street.
 For five days the Dunne home har- bored the invaders, and they wrought havoc. Mirrors and bric-a-brac were smashed, tapestries torn and pictures ruined. Pillows were ripped open and their feathers scattered through the house. The basement was ransacked for food, but no cooking was attempt ed, and the intruders lived largely on preserves.
 Filled Bag With SiIyerware.
 Trunks were pried open and bureau drawers yanked out upon the floor. The vandalism that MT. Dunne may consider the worst of all was perpe- trated in the library Scores of books some of them rare and of much value-were taken from the shelves and pulled to pieces. Just before discovery came, the robbers prepared two big bags of clothing and filled another lag with sixty-four pieces of sterling silverware-

Neighbors of the Dunnes sent word on S,4t. 30 to Pagnozzi at his home. No. 1141 Third Avenue, that lights has been burning in the Dunne house for the two nights previous. Pagnoz- zi hurried around. He saw the iron basement gate ajars He thought it possible the Dunnes were returning to the country and had sent servants ahead. But he took the precaution to telephone to the East Sixty-seventh Street Police Station, and Motorcycle Policeman Greenlay sped to the Dunne house. h
 Meanwhile, Pagnozzi had touched the basement bell button. A we'll dressed little boy swung back the gate. When he saw Pagnozzi he dart ed back into the house and yelled: Cheese it! The place is pinched"
 Strange Band of Burglars.
 Pagnozzi ran into the house, and Greenlay swept up on his motorcycle just in time to catch a five-year-old boy as he dropped from a parlor window. Three other small boys | turned back in dismay from this win dow. Pagnozzi entered the parlor and herded them. Greenlay searched the wrecked house.

Chief Morrissey and his band had helped themselves to the garments of the Dunne boys. 2 In assembling their packages of booty they had been overambitious. for it is improbable that the whole band together could have lifted the bag of silverware.
 Only Morrissey was arrested. In the Children's Court Magistrate Hoyt decided that, because Of his tender years. the youngster should be re- turned to his parents. Besides MT. Dunne had informed the authorities that he would not prosecute.

LAZY ANCESTORS OF
OUR MODERN FOWLS
Industrious Hen of Today Lays
800 Eggs in Year, While
Jungle Bird Laid Twelve.
NV c. s. ANDERSON, colorado)

By C. S. ANDERSON, Colorado)
The Jungle fowl, from which all our
modern breeds of chickens have orig"
mated. laid from twelve to fifteen
eggs a year when in its wild and nat
ural state. With years Of selection,
we have succeeded in developing from
this low-producing fowl type OF bird
the chief function Of which is egg pro-
duction. Our present-day Leghorns,
and carefully selected fowls of several
other breeds, lay close to 300 eggs an
lnually, and in the course Of lifetime
more than a thousand.
An average hen of the egg type
breeds will lay in a years time five
times her body weight in eggs. TAX
ing the standard weight of eggs as "a
ounces per dozen, this means an egg
every three days during the year. To
accomplish this the ben must consume
nearly thirty times her body weight in
feed.
The hen also has market value
when she is no longer an egg producer.
Comparing the total marketable prod
ucts returned for 100 pounds Of digest
IDLE matter consumed, the hen ranks
second only to the COW among all our
common farm animals.

~STIFF FINGERS" INHERITED
Boston Doctor Finds Family Where
MaIformation Has Run for
Many Years.

Boston.-In the recent proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences
Doctor Gushing of the Harvard Medi-
cal school and the Peter Bent Brigham
hospital, Boston, announced to the
academy some results he has found
in studying the heredity of "stiff fin
gers" a type of malformation Of the
hands or feet.
He has studied the history of a
family which migrated from Scotland
to Virginia in 100, and has found that
"stiff fingers" are hereditary with the
regularity which is expected in GER
tain traits.
OF the more than three hundred de.
scendants of the Scotch immigrant
about Is per cent had stiff fingers.
In families in which neither parent
was affected the children we're not
affected. In families in which one par.
ent, either mother or father, was af-
fected, about half of the children were
affected with the malformation.
