to be Of any assistance, and, besides,
they looked such mice, quiet boys"

the boys feel more comfortable with

any game they cared to choose with

.Naturalists- in the Tropics
From "A Naturalists' Tropical ,Labo

From "A Naturalists' Tropical Labora
 tory" by Theodore Roosevelt, in
 Scribner's.
 Our geological knowledge of the tropics, especially so far as concerns the higher vertebrates and the more prominent and interesting forms of in vertebrate life, is now fairly complete Tn its larger outlines. The collector has still his part to play here and there-a necessary and important but by itself far from the highest part and here and there desultory roaming or more systematic and extended ex- ploration will still yield geological re- suits of prime consequence, But what is now especially needed is restricted intensive observation in carefully se- lected tropical stations, where the iteeming animal life can be studied fully and at leisure. The student should be scientist whose training is both broad and specialized. Unless he has breadth of outlook--such as Humboldt, as Cuvier, as Darwin possessed-he cannot reach the higher levels of his calling, where power of sound gen. cralization, of controlled imagination. and of cautious work along lines of daring hypothesis are indispensable Yet unless he also possesses the power of sustained. ong-continued, highly specialized and minutely accurate. ob- servation his generalizations and hy- potheses will be either worthless or mischievous. He must be equally at home in the field and in the study He must possess the unflagging, un- wearying, patient industry of the scientific man who loves science with whole hearted ardor. He must be able to see, and to understand what he sees; to interpret what he has seen in the light of wide knowledge; and finally to record it with comprehensive vividness and charm no less than with accurate fidelity to fact A high ideal, and impossible of entire realization But 1t can be measurabely realized Demerara is one of the tropical lands where there is a teeming life to be studied: and MT. WilliNn Beebe is one of the scientific men who can study it AIS 1t ought to be studied.

IN FIVE MINUTES NO SICK STOMACH, ]: :::. !: INDIGESTION, GAS ne, Fr 2ape's Diapepsin" is the quickest and surest Stom-
 ach relief

If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like lump of lead. refusing to digest, or you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food. or have feeling of dizziness, heartburn, fullness. nausea, bad taste In mouth and stomach headache, you can surely get relief in five minutes.
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula, plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will understand why dyspeptic troubles of all kinds must go and why it relieves sour, out-of-order stomachs or indigestion in five min utes. "Papes Diapepsin'' is harmless; tastes like candy, though each dose will digest and prepare for assimila- ton into the blood all the food you eat; besides, 1t makes you go to the table with healthy appetite; but what will please you most Is that you will feel that your stomach and intes- tines are clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxatives or liver pills for biliousness or constipation.
 This city will have many "Papes Diapepsin" cranks, as some people will call them. but you will be enthusiastic about this splendid stomach prepara- ticn, too, if you ever take it for indi- gestion. gases. heartburn, sourness, dyspepsia. or any stomach misery.
 Get some now, this minute, and rid yourself of stomach misery and indi- gestion in five minutes.-Adv.

German Submarines Arc Already Taking Fearful
 T0N 0f English Shipping
Reports Made By Commanders Show Total Losses Since War Began to Be 2,947,475 Tons or An, Average of 100000 Tons Monthly-Allies
 Change Policy of Secrecy

London. January 26.-Although no Eng lishman believes that the German subma- rine campaign will ever reduce England to the point of starvation. as the Ger mans hope it will, or even seriously to cripple England through cutting off of food supplies much attention is being paid to the work of the U-boats. A re- nowned and superfurious submarine cam paign is expected soon and in the mean time the British are preparing for it. The navy is, of course, making plans of its own, while the government is devis- ing means for the speedy replacement of ships sunk.
 MT. Archibald Hlrd, one of England s most authoritative writers on naval af- fairs, has just produced striking sum- mary of tho submarine situation. MT. Hurd says:
 There has been a tendency to minimize the mercantile losses which we have sus- tained in the past. That is folly.
 "The Germans receive full reports from the commanders Of their submarines of every vessel-British. allied and neu- tral-which is torpedoed, its name, ton mage and cargo; they are informed of the date and longitude and latitude of attack, and the means employed in the case of each sinking.
 Month by month they issue for the encouragement of the civil population & very full summary. I have seen that for December-the latest. It occupies two columns of a German newspaper and is very specific.
 Tt is peculiarly necessary that the facts should be known. to the British people, because only thus can they un- derstand that they must economize in everything.
 'tThe Germans are buoyed up with the hope that they can starev us. We must dfsappoint them, and we can, and fin so doing we shall win the war. The very full tabulated statement prepared by the Germans of the losses of British ship ping to which have referred, gives the names and tonnage, and is summarized thus:
 British ships sunk in December. 162; tonnage, 41s, 16s; British ships sunk since beginning of the war, 1245; tonnage. D. eE, <5.
 That works out at an average loss of 1Oo,637 tons per month over the whole period of the war. but in the last month that of December-the destruction was E9,166 tons. Is there any purpose in ignoring that contrast at a moment when the first sea lord has given us a. distinct warning of the danger that con fronts us, of the need to economize, and of the urgent necessity of pressing on with fresh shipbuilding?

Is in court back in Detroit, Michigan
The news of the filing Of a suit by
Kailimai. a Hawaiian musician in the
employ Of Henry Ford OF automo0lie
fame. against the Bergstpom Music

federal court in documents providing
for the taking of the testimony OF

Campbell, c. A. Stobie and ]. H. Ellis,
As regards their knowledge Of certain
transactions between Kailimai and

According to the documents in fed
eral court, Mr.. Adams, while in San
Francisco, wired to Kailimai at De
troit offering him $475 for his rights
in the song. Kailimai wired back
saying that he would accept $500 cash
1t appears that this proposition was
accepted and that $500 was sent to a
bank in Detroit. The documents
further show that Kailimai refused to
accept the money, and that he wrote
the following letter to Mr.. Adams,
then in San Francisco:

The story Of the severed finger re-

A few years ago a pretty geisha girl
lived in Korea. She was a favOrite
with all the Japanese young men of
Seoul, and was always called when
any musical and dancing event was
featured.
According to the story which came
to Honolulu, a young Japanese Off

Ger was called to Toxic The little
gefsha waited, and like the poor but
terfly, the moments passed into hours,
and the hours passed into years, but
still she waited.
One day word reached Korea that
the young officer had promised to
wed one of Tokios beauties. The lit,
tie geisha said nothing, but according
to the story she went to her home,
and there sang the song which he had
longed to hear and then burst into
tears, and severed the finger where
the ring was placed years before.
She carefully wrapped the ring anc
finger into a box and mailed it to
the young officer She was next seen
in Honolulu. One Of the local JAP
anese told the story. It was only an
other case Of the custom which had
been founded thousands of years ago
in inner Mongolia.
