Having received information that
President Wilson had issued a call
for the mobilization OF the national
guard, Richmond members of the Vir>
ginia militia quickly responded, many
of them reaching their arnories be-
fore daylight yesterday morning.
Long before sunrise the armory OF
the Richmond Grays' Battalion was
a scene OF unwonted activity. During
the early hours of the morning. fol-
lowing the reading OF the newspapers,
the enlisted men gathered at the ar
mory and Joined their respective COM

Long before noon practically every
member OF all four companies had re-
ported for duty. and the service rou-
tine of mobilization was under way.
Not only that. but applicants for en-
listment were appearing in numbers
Throughout the day the room to the
rear on the right of the main cor
ridor OF the armory at Seventh and
Marshall was crowded with young
men and middle-aged men. eager to
cast their lot with the boys who are
TO be sent to the Mexican border.
OF the applicants there were be-
tween twenty-five and thirty per cent

some fifty men added to the battalion.
Major ]. Fulmer Bright, command
Ing the battalion, expressed himself
as pleased at the showing that the
young men of Richmond made with
their very evide willingness to en-

pleased most perhaps, at the splendid
showing the men of his battalion
made, at their punctuality in getting
vice, and at the full number which
appeared.
Not a man fell down" he said
yesterday afternoon, commenting on
their response. They all came in
early in the day. and at once, like
seasoned soldiers, they entered into

WOMAN HAS PET BUTTERFLY
box and Survived the Cold
Weather.

Mrs Ruth Clark Bellah of Montclair,
n. j., has a butterfly as a household
pet The butterfly is probably the only
one in New Jersey that has lived
through the winter On October % 4;
was found in the Bellah house under
lace curtain. Mrs. Rellah placed the
little thing in a small box with net
ting over it rather than put il outdoors
to freeze.
To her surprise the butterfly lived
so she then put it in a large hatbox
with netting over the top and sprinkled
the netting with sugar and water. The
butterfly is a. dark reddish brown
with pale yellow and blue splashes
near the end OF rs wings. When
asleep OF when its wings are closed
II resembles a dried leaf Mrs. Bel
Iah finds that the butterfly sleeps most
OF the time. but she never fails to put
it in the sunshine every bright day
and TO give it sweetened water. Al
soon as the sun warns II up the but
terfly opens its wings and flies bach
and forth in its cage, thus taking its
daily exercise. It is considered re
msrkable that the butterfly has sur
vivcd, even with the tender care thai
has been bestowed upon II.

BURNS HIS SHIP FOR FUEL
Caught in Ice FIoe, Captain Has to
Cut Away Woodwork TO Keep En-
gines Going.

Caught in the ice off the Banks OF
Newfoundland and held fast there for
ten days without coal, compelled to
burn the woodwork and furniture OF
the ship for fuel, the Loeb Tay, a Nor
wegian steamship, arrived at New
York after a voyage of 81 days from
Rotterdam
Storms delayed the progress of the
Loch Tay almost from the moment
when she left port at Rotterdam, ami
by the time she reached the Banks
she had burned up every ounce OF
coal
The ship soon found herself in an
Ice pack, the outer edge OF which
seemed to grow more and more dis
tant until it became an immense field,
extending to the horizon in every di-
rection
To get out OF this frozen barrier
without fuel for the engines was i'm
possible, so the captain began feeding
to the flames first the furniture of the
ship and then bulkheads and whatever
woodwork there was aboard, to keep
up steam until the open sea was re-
gained To accomplish this required
ten days. After putting into St Johns,
Newfoundland, to recoal, the Loeb
Tay. resumed her voyage to New York,
encountering new storms and head
winds lasting up to the time of her ar.
rival there.

MORE USE OF NATURAL GAS
Government to Conduct Experiments
With View Of Determining the
Possibilities.

The government has at last seen the
wonderful possibilities in the use OF
natural gas in many industries. and
has established bureau at Pittsburgh
for the purpose OF making experiments
In the more efficient use Of the fuel in
industry, says the Wall Street Journal.
One Of the lines along which the bu.
reau is working is in the use OF natural
gas in firing porcelain. Our manufac.
turers have learned the secret of fash.
ioning porcelain, but the firing has
been so expensive that the American
ware cannot compete with that from
Europe and Japan, the latter country
since the outbreak of the war. furnish.
ing practically all the porcelain
shipped TO the United States.
"The experimental. work at Pitts
trrgh Is something the government
has often been asked to do which it
has declined until the present" said a
natural gas man the other day with
thorough federal investigation into
the possibilities Of natural gas as a
manufacturing medium, many invest
ments which have been transitory in
character can be made permanent
With increased efficiency II will be
profitable to pipe natural gas from long
distances to the field of utilization, and
an increase in the price would not be
resented by these consumers. There
are many manufacturing towug In
Pennsylvania and other states that
have been partially abandoned because
Of the decrease in their natural gas
supply The federal investigation
opens the possibility of such places be
ing made permanent investments
