Clock DiaIs for Summer.

Instead of moving the hands of the
clock forward and back at the time Of
changing from standard to summer
time, and vice versa, plan recently
proposed in England is to have clocks
provided with an adjustable dial. The
circular disk Of the dial would be put
in place by screws in curved slots, and
the dial would be rotated through one
hour space at the time of making the
change, leaving the hands untouched.
1t is claimed that this plan is especial
Iy desirable in the case of striking
clocks, the hands of which cannot be
moved back. The position of the dial
would also indicate whether the clock
was keeping summer or normal time.
The objection to this procedure, Of
course, is that practically everybody
tells time from position of the hands,
without any attention to the figures on
the dial.

upon him that he must exercise the
greatest care to prevent Jack visiting
the music hall where Ajax was being
shown.
So when he opened the boys door at
about half-past nine he was greatly ex-
cited, though not entirely surprised, to
find the future Lord Greystoke fully
dressed for the street and about to
crawl from his open bedroom window.
Mr.. Moore made a rapid sprint
across the apartment, but the waste OF
energy was unnecessary, for when the
boy heard him within the chamber and
realized that ne had been discovered,
he turned back, as though to relinquish
his planned adventure.
"Where were you going2' painted the
excited Mr. Moore.
II am going to see Ajax" replied the
boy quietly.

A moment later he was infinitely more
astonished, for the boy, approaching

CHAPTER II.
ITO See Ajax"

Mr.. Harold Moore was a bilious
countenanced, studious young man. He
took himself very seriously, and his
life and his work, which latter was the
tutoring of the young son of Lord
Greystoke, a British nobleman. he
felt that his charge was not making
the progress that his parents had a
right to expect, and he was now con-
scientiously explaining this fact to the
boys mother.
His sole interest seems to be feats
of physical prowess and the reading of
everything that he can get hold Of re-
lating to savsgs beasts and the lives
and customs Of uncivilized peoples

But that lady only shook her head In
a most positive manner and. turning to
Mr.. Moore, asked him II 1t was not
time that he and Jack were In the
study for their morning recitations.
When the two had left she turned to-
ward her husband.
It was from her husband that the
boy had inherited his longing for the
wild. Lord Greystoke's parents had
been SET on the shore of the west coast
of Africa by mutineers. After their
death their infant son was stolen and
mothered by an ape, and he in turn be-
came the king of tribe of great apes.
He was known as Tarzan. After many
adventures he was rescued and finally
settled down in London.
"John," Lady Greystoke said, "some-
thing must be done to discourage Jacks
tendency toward anything that may
excite the craving for the savage life,
which, l fear, he has inherited from
you. You know from your own expe-
rience how strong Is the call of the
wild at times. You know that often 1t
has Aecessitated stern struggle on
your part to resist the almost insane
desire which occasionally overwhelms
you to plunge once again into the jun
que life that claimed you for so many
years, and at the same time you know
better than any other how frightful a
fate it would be for Jack were the trail
to the savage jungle made either allur-
ing or easy to him."
II doubt If there is any danger of his
inheriting a taste for jungle life from
me-" replied the man, "for cannot
conceive that such a thing may be
transmitted from father to son. And
sometimes, Jane, / think that in your
solicitude for his future you go bit
too far in your restrictive measures.
His love for animals---his desire, for
example, to see this trained ape-is
only natural in healthy, normal boy
of his age"
And John Clayton, Lord Greystoke,
put an arm about his wife, laughing
good-naturedly down into her up
turned face before he bent his head
and kissed her. Then, more seriously,
he continued:
"You have never told Jack anything
concerning my early life, nor have you
permitted me to, and in this / think
that you have made mistake. Had
been able 10 tell him of the expert
ences of Tarzan of the Apes I could
doubtless have taken much OF the
glamor and romance from jungle life
that naturally surround it In the minds
of those who have had no experience
of it. He might then have profited by
my experience; but now, should the
jungle lust every claim him. he Will
have nod ing to guide him but his own
impulses, and I know how powerful
these may be in the wrong direction at
tines"
But Lady Greystoke only shook her
head as she had q hundred other times
when the subject had claimed their at
tention in the past.
"No, John" she insisted. Il shall
never give my consent to the implant-
ing in Jacks mind Of any suggestion
of the savage life from which we both
wish to preserve him." .....
Mr.. Moore's room was next to that
of his youthful charge. and it was the
tutors custom to have look into the
boys each evening as the former was
about to retire. This evening he was
particularly careful not to neglect this
duty, for he had just come from con-
ference with the boys father and moth
er. in which it had been impressed

CHAPTER l-Continued.

The officers and scientists aboard or
ten discussed the beast, but they were
unable to account satisfactorily Tor the
strange ceremony with which he greet
ed each new face. Had he been dlscoV-
cred upon the mainland or any other
place than the almost unknown lsland
that had been his home they would
have concluded that he had formerly
been a pet of man, but that theory was
not tenable in the face of the lsolatloh
of his uninhabited island.
He seemed continually to be search
ing for some one, and during the nrst
DAYS of the return voyage from the
island he was often discovered noslng
about in various parts OF the snip, out
after he had seen and examined eacn
face of the ships company and expior-
ed every corner Of the vessel, he iapseu
into utter Indifference of all about MIN.
Even the Russian ELECTED only casual
interest when he brought him food. At
other times the ape appeared merely
to tolerate him.
He never showed affection for him or
for anyone else upon the Marjorie w.
Nor did he at any time evince any IN
dication of the savage temper that had
marked his resentment OF the attack
of the sailors upon him at the tlme
that he had come among them.
Most of his time was spent In the
eye of the ship, scanning the horizon
ahead, as though he were endowed
with sufficient reason to know that the
vessel was bound for some port where
there would he other human beings 10
undergo his searching scrutiny. All IN
all, Ajax, as he had been dubbed, was
considered the most remarkable anu III
telligent ape that anyone aboard the
Marjorie w. had ever seen.
Nor was his intelligence the only re-
markable attribute he owned. His
stature and physique were, for an ape
awe-inspiring. That he was old was
quite evident, but if his age had I'M
paired his physical or mental powers
in the slightest it was not apparent.
And 50 at length the Marjorie w.
came to England, and there the othcers
and the scientists, filed with compass
sion for the pitiful wreck of man
they had rescued from the jungles, fur
nished Paulvitch with funds and bid
him and Ajax Godspeed.
Upon the dock and all through the
tourney to London the Russian had his
hands full with Ajax. Each new face
of the thousands that came within the
anthrapoid's ken must be carefully
scrutiniZed, much to the horror of many
of his victims. But at last, failing ap-
parently to discover whom he sought,
the great ape relapsed into morbid ap-
difference, only occasionally evincing
interest in a passing face.
In London Paulvitch went directly
with his prize to a famous animal
trainer. This man was much impressed
with Ajax, with the result that he
agreed to train him for a lions share
of the profits of exhibiting him and in
the meantime to provide for the keep
of both the ape and his owner.
And so came Ajax to London, and
there was forged another link in the
chain of strange circumstances that
were to affect the lives of many people.

Need Not Fear Germany, For.
eign Advisers Tell President,
and Has Much to Gain.

Washington, March 28.-Informa-~
ton was received here that DIR. w. w.
Willoughby, ex-professor of constitu-
tional law at Johns Hopkins univer-
sity, and now a constitutional adviser
to the Chinese republic; DR.. Nagao
Ariga, also a constitutional adviser at
Peking. and DR.. George E. Morrison,
a British subject and general adviser
of the Chinese government. had ad-
vised President L. uan-Hung to en-
ter the war on the side of the en-
tente allies.
This advice was given in writing to
President Lii. who had asked for their
opinions as to what course China
ought to pursue. The three advisers
are said to have declared that If Chi
ma adhered to her policy of neutrality
she would risk being isolated, and
that her position might become ex-
ceedingly difficult. They asserted that
China need have no fear of Germany,
and after describing the present
world situation, suggested, it is re-
ported. that by entering the war as an
ally of the entente nations China
would greatly profit, predicting that
such course would substantially en-
hance China's prestige in International
politics.
The objects of the entente allies
and their reasons for being at war
with Germany were discussed in de-
tail by China's foreign advisers. who
held out the hope that if China enter
ed the conflict she would occupy a
seat at the peace conference after the
war.
China is said to have proposed. ac-
cording to intelligence reaching here
from Toxic, that one of the condi-
tiOns on which she would ioin the en-
tente was that the powers consent to
raising her import tariff by per cent.
This would mean the revival Of an
old question which was tabled some

ed China to adopt pro-entente policy
