mSwann Is Really Goose.

The Chinese "swan" is not really
q swan. but a goose 1t has achieved
a vicarlOus reputation as swan mere
ly because Of an extremely long neck,
not properly belonging to goose, but
altogether swanlike.
The lady swan, instead Of pursuing
the birdlike motherly habit of sitting
on her eggs in order to transform
them from mere eggs into baby swans,
carefully covers them up with mound
of sticks and things.
The Chinese swan is known in high
brow circles as Cygnopsis cygnOides.
It is most peculiar bird with large
wart on its bill, which is as yellow
as the royal dragon of China. 1t has
a disL osition as mild as that Of the
Chinese nation itself, is given to secret
diplomacy, has a large appetite and
is extremely loquacious in a swan-like,
restrained, Chinese manner.

FRENCHMAN'S WORK OF ART
Beauvais Cathedral Clock a Remark
able Example Of Ingenuity In
Its Construction.

The clock Of Beauvais (France) ca
thedral is said to be composed Of $4,000
separate pieces. One sees on the 81
dial plates the hour, the day, the week
and the month; the rising and setting
of the sun, phases of the moon, the
tides, the time in the principal cap
itals Of the world, together with
series Of terrestrial and astronomical
evolutions. The framework is carved
oak, eight meters by five meters, or
20 feet by 16A feet. When the clock
strikes all the edifice seems In move
ment. The designer wished to depict
the Last Judgment. This wonderful
work recalls the clock of Strassburg,
and is of modern construction. 1t Is
the work of NJ. Verite, who was in the
engineering department Of the Nord
railway, and who died in 1887. The
cock crows, angels sound a trumpet at
the four cardinal points, imitation or
flames appears from the openings of
little steeples right and left. A soul,
that of the impenitent thief, appears
before the supreme Judge. 1t is con-
demned. "a I enfer," and demon
armed with a pitchfOrk seizes 1t and
casts 1t into the abyss. Next comes the
soul of the just. The angels advance
and conduct ii to the realms of day,
sacred strains being heard.

ENGLAND and America.

The language and traditions COM
mon to England and America are like
other family bonds; they draw kindred
together at the greater crises Of life,
but they also occasion at times little
friction and fault finding. The ground
work of the two societies is so similar
that each nation, feeling almost at
home with the other, may instinctively
resent what binders it from feeling at
home altogether. Differences will tend
to seem anomalies that have slipped in
by mistake and through somebody's
fault. Each will judge the other by
his own standards, not feeling as in
the presence of foreigners, that he
must make an effort of imagination
and put himself in another mans
shoes.-George Santayana in Land
mark.

BILL TO DEPORT
ALIEN SLACKERS
Would Send Out Of Country
All Who EVaded Service.

Washington, June "A bill to pro-
vide for the deportation of all alien
slackers will be introduced by Senator
King.
1t will prescribe that all foreigners
who took out first naturalization pa
pers and refused to serve in the army
must be sent back to their countries
of origin. 1t is believed a measure
Of this kind will receive strong sup
port in congress,
In addition, the measure proposed
by Senator King will debar from adj
mission to the United States all aliens
hereafter arriving who admit they are
Bolshevists, anarchists or other unde-
sirables Neither shall those be ad,
mitted who do not subscribe to the
American form of government, the
federal constitution and all institu-
lions affiliated Herewith.
An immigration measure also will
be offered by Senator Spencer. His
bill will provide that all aliens who
remain in the United States one year
and do not take out first naturaliZa-
ton papers shall be deported. Also,
all those having first papers who have
not perfected them within five years
and, become real American citizens
must be deported.
Much activity Is promised by the re-
organized committee on immigration,
of which Senator Colt is the new
chairman. He favors drastic regula-
lions for the exclusion of undesirable
classes and such limitation of incom-
teet the American workingman.

London. June 1.-The crews of the
three American naval seaplanes which
started on the memorable trans-Atlan-
tic flight, completed so CALAMITY by
the NC-4, through her arrival at ply
mouth, came to London and had
typical American reception as their
train stopped at Peddington station.
American sailors and soldiers, who
had been waiting for their arrival,
rushed for the car that contained
Lieutenant Commander A. {. Read,
who brought the NC-4 safely across
the Atlantic, seized him and bore him
on their shoulders, up and down the
platform and then to an automobile
for a parade.
One of the first to reach the Meas
commander after he came from the
train was Harry G. Hawker, who had
ATTEMPTED to shout his congratulations
as the lieutenant commander was be-
ing jostled about on the shoulders and
heads of a score of men. The daring
British aviator, who had wired his
concentrations to the crew or the
NC-4 at Plymouth, had arrived at the
station half an hour before the train
came in. as it was twenty minutes
late. The huge crowd outside the sta
ton waiting to see the successful
flier cheered him and Mrs. Hawker as
they drove up in their car. When they
were inside the station three cheers
were suggested, and, led by an Ameri-
can officer, they were given with
will by the American fighting men.
They then gave three cheers for Mrs.
Hawker.
The royal air force officers joined
with the American navy men in ar
ranging the welcome and took part in
the procession to the aero club house,
where Hawker was conveyed on his
arrival in London. The Americans
were briefly welcomed there and then
went TO the Hendon flying field, to
witness "stunt" flying. At night they
dined as guests Of the royal air force.
The present plans of the American
crew are incomplete. The command
err of the NC-1, NC-3 and NC-4 expect
to receive orders to proceed to Paris.
What the other flers will do is not
known. 1t is understood that, accord
ing to present arrangements, the NC-4
will be dismantled at Plymouth with,
in ten days and shipped back to the
United States on board the U. S. S.
AroOstook. None of the NC crews is
anxious to participate in any flying
here.

PREDICTS DROP
IN BEEF PRICES
Slump in Use in United States
is Predicted.
CATTLE ARE CHEAPER NOW
The Decline is Likely lin Spite OF
Euroue,s Demand For American
Me,-.-.War Department Disposes OF

Chicago. June 2.--Amer,can families
have greatly reduced their conSdmp-
ton of beef.
This is indicated in a statement of
the bureau of public relations OF the
American Meat Packers association
announcing that a decline in the price
Of beef is Immediately at hand, i'll
spite of the depletion of EurOpe'S
herds and the consequent European
demand, far exceeding the supply, for
American meat.
Aside from the decrease in the use
Of beef in this country the only other
eause, it is said, leading to reduc-
hon in the price is the disposal by
the war department of its surplus
stock. Inasmuch as the government
supply goes principally to institutions,
the sale affects only in minor de-
gree the prices in the open market.
Cheaper. CRASHED cattle are given
as one cause of the decrease in price
by the packers association statement,
which goes on to say:
despite the fact that beef already
is cheaper than pork. poultry and NUT
ton, it probably will decline further
within the next few days. There are
several reasons. Cheaper, CRASHED
cattle, which hitherto have not been
plentiful, are now moving to market.
Exports of beef from the United
States have virtually ceased. The gov
hoc ctn Y1Jx-
at will take a few days for the
lower prices to reach the consumer.
The reason is obvious. 1t lies in the
fact that appreciate time elapses be-
tween arrival of cheaper steers at
markets and the appearance of beef
from those steers on the consumers
tables. The retailer cannot lower his
prices until he replenishes his stock
of beef at the reduced figures ex-
pected.
"But from all indications it seems
fairly certain that, although depletion
of European herds and unprecedented
demands will hold meat prices above
normal and subsequently in the retail
price of beef, is Immediately at hand.
It is thought that the consumption of
beef then may be greatly increased"
Thomas f. Wilson, of Wilson & Co.,
packers, returning from Europe, after
two months abroad, investigating the
food situation in the interest of the
government, said there is meat and
fat famine in Germany, Austria and
the Balkans, with the situation nearly
as serious in the countries which were
neutral.
SIN one area Of Germany a careful
survey of 1900 square miles showed
there was an average of one horse
and LIZ cattle and one hog to the
square MILE" Mr.. Wilson said.
"There is scarcely any breeding"
he continued. "The American farmer
should send over cattle and grain to
feed these people. The markets Of the
world are open to the American farm
er, if the situation is handled intelli-
gently"
