KAISER'S NAVY
IS THREATENED
WITH MUT|NY
Stringent Measures Adopted
QueII Recent Revolt Fail to
Stamp Out MutteringS
of Discomfort.
international News Service;

COPENHAGEN, Oct. II. -
More than 5000 sailors and
several members of the reich
stag were involved in the mu-
tiny in the German navy which
broke out late in August, &C
cOrding to information received
here today from a, German naval
port.
The leaders were plotting
revolution when the outbreak
was checked by loyal German
soldiers and sailors.
Causes of Mutiny.
Latest reports give the following
causes as the chief ones leading up
to the mutiny:
0)-Influence eXerted by the
success of the revolt in Russia
which inspired the men to a
demand for naval committees,
such as now exist in the Rus
sian fleet.
(2)-Bad and insufficient
food.
Glow morale caused by
long inactivity.
Whether there was any connection
between the outbreak in the navy
and the mutinous uprising among
the German soldiers on the western
front is unknown. but IL is assumed
here that there was.
Get severe Penalties.
The ringleaders in both instances
were severely dealt with. a num-
Der were executed and severe terms
of Imprisonment were conferred
upon others. The sentences i'm
posed. harsh as they We're. fell short
of the penalties demanded per-
sonally by the kaiser.
Among the warships affected was
the Westfalen, which was reported
sunk at the time OF the battle Of
Jutland.
Others were the Luitpold. Prime
Regent, Kaiser and Nurnberg.
The government had the utmost
difficulty in suppressing the revolt.
Some Of the marines refused 10 ire
upon the mutineers so infantry was
called TO the scene and the iron dis
ciplined soldiers showed no hesita-
ton i'm turning machine guns and
rifles upon the mutinous sailors. II
is not known how many were killed.
Unrest in Navy Continues.
Unrest I'm the German navy con-
tinues despite the stern measures
that have been taken TO stamp 1t
out.
1t was recalled here today that, at
the time Of the kaiser's hurried trip
.at WHhelnshaven. at the time Of the
mutiny. the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger
and other papers stated that William
was going 70 review the fleet ana
the defences on Heligoland.
It is understood here that the
German navy has commenced 10
conscript sailors from the fleet for
submarine duty and this may have
been one of the underlying causes
Of the growing unrest.
The mutineers were reported 10
have damaged some of their ships
bv dismounting guns. Some Of the
loval officers on the ships were shot.
All OF the members Of the reich-
STAG involved are socialists.

PICKANNINNY IS REAL MUMMY
Body of Little Black Baby Preserved In Pennsylvania City Did Not
 Change in Twenty Years.

A real mummy, little colored baby, born some 20 years ago, who died after living several weeks, Is preserved in an undertaking establishment at Chester, Pa.
 There is no record of the percentage of the infant. and in brief its history Is that it was found dead 20 years ago, and that the body was turned over to the late Thomas Minshall, then an un- dertaker and deputy coroner. As the body was never claimed, he decided to use it for experimental purposes in embalming, and prepared special mix ture of embalming fluid. a portion Of which he injected into the little body.
 The result proved successful, and in a short time there were evidences of mummification, and after being an ob- ject of curiosity and 'ten days won der" the mummy, chrlstened lizzie" :" was taken to an unused room in the building and tucked away on the top shelf of closet.
 During all these years the infant body has lain there undisturbed ex- cept when some curious person has called at the establishment and re- quested permission to see it. The mummy is 20 inches long, weighs two pounds and resembles in every way a real cOlored baby.

The measur- ing instrument consists of a table top with many small holes in 1t, spaced at regular intervals. mounted on fun nel base, through which, and through the holes In the top, suction fan draws air. The hide, when placed on the table. reduces the cross-section of the air current and so produces rare faction of the air. which in turn ere ates a subpressure that can be meas ured from the combined readings of a vacuum gauge and tachometar- an instrument that registers the ve-
