AMERICANS NOT WARNED.
No Instructions for Them to Leave
Austria Hungary.

Washington. Feb. 16.-State de-
partment officials discussing the re-
port from Paris that Americans had
been warned from Washington to
leave. Austria. said no instructions to
this effect had been sent to Ambas-
sador Penfeld at Vienna. They con-
sidered it probable that Ambassador
Penfield might have taken such ac-
ton on his own initiative.
officials say that they still hope
that a break with Austria may be
avoided, but admit that all recent in.
dications are to the contrary.

Founded on a Religion.

Twelve hundred and eighty-nVe
years ago the founder of the Moham-
medan religion died in Medina, Arabia
and the career of Mohammed Is now
recognized as one of the nine or ten
great careers in history. A son OF the
desert, born with a keen poetic ana
sensuous nature, his early life was
passed in dreams, visions and medlta-
lions. Gradually there dawned upon
him the conception of the unity of God.
In his fortieth year his work OF pros
elyting began. Prosecuted by the older
religions, he barely escaped with ms
life, and fled from Mecca to the city OF
Medina. Rapidly the new faith gained
adherents; the forces of Mecca were
defeated, and by the time Of his death
the whole of Arabia had been subdued
and an army was setting forth to as
sail the Roman empire of the East.
Exactly 100 years after he died his
standards had been planted by his dis
ciples across the Pyrenees and on the
plains of India

FOUND THE PRISONER GUILTY
But Jury's Verdict Had Nothing to Do
With Charge on Which Defendant
Was Tried.

A barrister with long experience
of queer juries in the mining regions
of Pennsylvania tells the following
amusing story as illustrating their &C.
centricities:
A man was charged with committing
murderous assault upon another as
result of some political differences.
The assault having been committed
at night, there appeared to be some
difficulty in identifying the assailant,
and, as q matter of fact, the counsel
for the defense made out an excellent
case for the prisoner, calling witnesses
to testify that he was nowhere near
the spot where the assault took place
on the night in question.
Everybody concerned fully expected
that the jury would bring in verdict
Of acquittal, yet, to the general aston
ishment, the foreman announced that
the prisoner had been found guilty.
"But," he added, observing the gen
eral CONSERVATION created by his state
ment, mot guilty of this assault, yer
honor. This is the spalpeen who stole
Biddy McCarthy's pig last year, and we
found him guilty of that"

Wonderful Cave Found.

A wonderful cave has been discoy-
cred at the lime quarries about 10
miles from Potgietersrust, Cape Colony.
A workman, using his pick, came to
large hole, and this proved to lead TO
q wonderful cave containing the most
beautiful stalactites-a really wonder
full sight. These pendant cones OF
carbonate of lime, attached like icicles
to the roof of the cave and formed by
the dripping of the water charged with
the carbonate from the rock above,
are in various and in some cases most
intricate designs, and should be of
great interest to biologists. The cave
is about 80 yards long and 30 wide, and
no one ever dreamed of its existence.

SOME MARKS OF BRIGHTNESS
Intelligent Boy and Girl Declared to
Be Conscientious, Moderately Ro-
bust, Athletic and Popular.

In summing up his conclusions on
the relationship of intelligence to the
size and shape of the head, Karl Pear
son is quoted in the Journal of Heredi-
ty as making these statements about
the intelligence of children:
ITO sum up, then: While no charac-
tiers in schoolchildren so far dealt with
show very high correlation with intel
ligence, we may yet say that the in
telligent boy is markedly conscientious,
is moderately robust, athletic and pop
ular; he tends rather to quick than to
sullen temper. He is more selt-con-
scious and quieter than the dull boy;
he has slightly bigger head, and pos
sibly lighter fermentation than those
of more mediocre intelligence. His
hair has larger percentage of curli-
ness.
"The intelligent girl is also markedly
conscientious, moderately robust, ath-
letic, and popular. She, too, tends to
quick and rather sullen temper. She
is less self-conscious than the dull girl,
and noisier than the girl of mediocre
Intelligence. 1t is the slow girl who is
quiet and shy. The intelligent girl has
a slightly bigger head than the dull
girl, and her hair is more likely to be
wavy and much less likely to be curly.

Welcoming the Actor.

A well-knewn society performer vol
unteered to entertain a roomful OF
patients of a lunatic asylum, and
made up a very successful little mono
logue show, entirely humorous. The
audience in the main gave symptoms
of being slightly bored, but one high
ly intelligent maniac saw the whole
thing in proper light and clapping the
talented actor on the shoulder, said I:

Speed of Waterfowl Measured.

The speed of waterfowl has often
been measured with great accuracy.
Two men take positions on duck
pass measured distance apart. The
first man carries, Il stop-watch and
gun, and the second gun only. AS
the fowls pass the first blind the timer
shoots in order to frighten the birds
into full speed, and starts his watch.
AS the ducks pass the second blind the
man there fires q. shot, and the timer
stops his watch, The usual length OF
the course is quarter of mile, al
though mile track" is sometimes
used.

Bubble Background Of Photos.

Professor Boys of England, expert
menting with bubbles, obtained some
very large ones, which in the sunshine
changed colors so beautifully that he
conceived the idea Of using them as
backgrounds for photographs.
The large bubbles were blown with
an ordinary bellows, says the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. The soap solu-
lien was heated and q large-mouthed
funnel was dipped into it. The bel
lows, connecting with the funnel, was
then worked very gently. Bubblea

Der in the hands of the present reviewer is
dated December, 1916. To the best of his
knowledge the publication is no longer ex-
tant. In the issue at hand the editor con-
tributed description of an evening at the
Mad Halter" funny little cellar tea and
demi-tasse establishment just off Washing
ton Square:
"The Mad Halter consists of two little
rooms in what was originally farmhouse
when it was built, more than century ago,
mile north of the city. Now the small
building is an infnitesimal sneck in the
Great Maelstrom and is hard to find
Through the lapse of years the surface of
he ground along its street has been lifted
up, and several stone steps lead downward
to the entrance. At night single candle
sheds faint light through the curtain Of its
one front window The front room, perhaps
twelve feet deep and fifteen feet wide, contains
.our small round tables, half a dozen chairs,
rs many little wooden benches built for one,
and two wall-seats. Eighteen persons crowd
it, Between the rooms is the wide and We
cradle chimney, with the big open fireplace
facing the rear room. In that rear room (of
about equal size) are no chairs; only narrow
wooden benches around the walls, and little
wooden tables and little wooden one-person
benches, and shelves for dishes.
"All the old walls and the chimney are
painted in quiet gray or pale yellow. The
walls of the back room are covered with
drawings done by various artists, and nearly
all the drawings represent characters or
scenes from Alice in Wonderland The cell
ing in each room is but six feet from the
floor and the floors are those that were
built when the house was built. On the
wide hearth a log fire burns, and pile of
log wood lies ready at hand. A pot Of coffee
is simmering on the stove in the back room,
an ice-crcam freezer stands just outside the
back door, and cakes, and bread, and tea, and
mullins, and jam appear from somewhere
when called for. Toast also appears, but
about half the time it is forgotten after
being put in the oven, and eventually it
ceases to be toast. Then somebody smells
it, and the process is repeated.
Unto this wonderful place-for it possesses
a wonder no less real because it happens to
be wholly indefnable-dr the folk of the
Village, and visitors from many cities and
countries, from / o'clock until in the
afternoon, and from about until II at night

And what is Greenwich Village you ask.
1t is the most deliciously lovely, carefree,
insouciant colony which exists this side OF the
Latin Quarter of Paris. II is the home of
artists and people who do things it is the
habitat of the man or the woman who hasn't
any too much money and who loves congsnial
compan ionship and warm welcome over n
mug Of beer or a crust Of bread.
Those who go TO the village are always
genuinely Welcome when they go in the right
spirit
Greenwich Village is not bohemian as that
word is understood And what, after all, Is
bohemia and bohemian? Somebody has said
that "A bohemian Is one who wears his
nightshirt in the daytime; another has said
that "a bohemian is a man who is listening
to Beethoven symphony when he should ba
raging his gas bill" Be that as IL may,

For example, there is ''Brunos Weekly"
a real Village institution for years. Guido
Bruno lived in a garnet in Washington
Square South, and got out magazine con-

and therwise-consistently individuali.tic.
No doubt Mr.. Bruno still resides in the
same odd little weather-beaten mecca, but
the weekly has vanished. 1t lives now only

FEBRUARI.MARCH, 1917

editorial policy is set forth in the follow
ing words:
1.-The Spectator aims to represent TIE
serious aims of earnest workers Of the Wash
ington Square and Greenwich Village COM
munities. This section is no more the habi-
tat of freaks and takers than is any other
part of New York City-even though such an
impression has gone abroad to some extent.
Because we work in the creative arts, we
should not be classed as tr!fers, either with
time or morality. Nor should the behavior Of
the few be taken as a criterion for the many.
1t is always the fate of those who are differ
emit to be singled out for ridicule-but the
individual with sympathy and vision knows
that ridicule is generally boomerang. And
it will prove SO with those who jeer at the
life of our community
while The Spectator is presumed to de-
vote it's attention mainly to affairs covering
its immediate community, the editor cannot
refrain from suggesting to Washington that
censors should be placed in the editorial
rooms of some of New York's German publ
cations.
These papers may profess to be loyal, but
one who reads between the lines will find that
they are not strictly so. Either let the matter
these papers put before their readers be
sternly censored-or else suppress their publ
cation altogether"
