made with convincing detail by the

this work Fossati removed the mat.

He Miaht.

In summer time the boy scouts roll
down their socks and follow the Scot
tisf custom Of cool knees. Down at
Camp Kinneuma, in Sullivan county,
the scout executive, who is both very
tall and very boyish, follows the Gus
tom Of his boys. 1t is picturesque and
the grown-up visitors understand 1t,
but the other night tiny girl did not.
She stared at the executive most of
the time of her visit. Then when the

Instinct In Spiders.

Spinning webs Is second nature with
spiders. After they are Matched from
the eggs in cocoon they cling to-
gether for about week. Then they
separate. but their legs do not carry
them very far. Facing the wind and
standing on the tips Of their legs, the
baby spiders raise their abdomens and
emit silken thread. The faintest
current watts the gossamer in the air,
and when enough is let out to permit
Of aerial flight the insect drifts away.
When it wishes to land 1t hauls In the
thread. Wherever it lands 1t can spin
webs without the slightest instruc-
tions from older spiders. Older male
spiders seem to lose this gift. There
are about $50 species Of spiders in
America, but only two, the house and
garden spiders, are we'll known.

September, $780,. could not ask for
a more authoritative corroboration Of
my view that the Lion Mound is a
monument to Dutch megalomania with.
out any reference to Britons or Bel
gians whatever. Certainly the Bel
gians would never have thought Of
erecting such memorial to themselves,
and as to this country, it is not its
way.
It is quite clear, then, that the mere
reversal of the lions position affords
no adequate solution to the problem of
satisfying those French sentiments
which M. Saintine expressed 80 years
ago, and which do not doubt are still
entertained. Once the matter is taken
into consideration, there can be no dis
pute that the position and the pose Of
the lion are offensive and provocative
to the French people, who, on three
historic occasions in less than a CEN
tury, have contributed Of their best
and bravest to the saving of Belgian
independence.

AGAINST HJlM crow RAILROAD CARS

Federal legislation prohibiting
Jim Crow cars or other legislation dis
eliminating against negroes on rail-
roads or steamships within the United
ST. tes was urged by Representative
Madden Of Chicago (portrait herewith)
before the house committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce the other
day. Mr.. Madden advocated the in
clusion of the provisions of bill in
introduced by him in general railroad
legislation. A delegation from the
Colored American council, which spon-
Sors the bill, was present.
Representative Sanders Of Louisi-
ana was the most outspoken in oppo-
sition to the bill among members of
the committee. I'VE contend that the
negro prefers separate accommoda-
tions," said Mr.. Sanders. "Our negroes

Detects Concrete Defects.

An x-ray outfit for inspecting con
crete ships is stated by A. c. Freeman
to weigh about 80 pounds. The radio
graphs taken by the apparatus are ex-
pected to show whether the concrete
mixture has been kept uniform and
compact; to detect any holes or voids
in the structure; and to reveal any
displacement of the reinforcing mate
rial. Such defects, when brought to
notice In time, can be remedied be-
fore the work is completed.

Plume Birds FAILING.

New Guinea is the home Of a largo
percentage Of the worlds birds Of
paradise. The supply of these beauti-
full birds is fast failing. Not only do
the women Of Europe and America
demand feathers for their bonnets,
says the Savannah News. but the ma
tives Of New Guinea and surrounding
islands make lavish use Of the plu-
mage as headdresses. Some precau-
tions are now taken to prevent visitors
to New Guinea from killing the most
beautiful birds in the world" but the
natives are left alone and they con-
tinue to deck themselves out In cnpes
and headpieces more gorgeous than
any seen on our stage beauties or the
wives Of our millionaires.

WESTERN MAN MAY SUCCEED REDFlELD

Announcement Of Mr.. Redheld's
resignation did not come as q surprise.
Since his disagreement with Director
General of Railroads Hines regarding

he contemplated early retirement. Mr..

BRYAN FINDS 1920 GETTING NEAR

William Jennings Bryan is back in
the public eye again, this time In the
role of assailant of the National Sc
curity league. He finds his ammuni-
tion in the report of the special COM
mittee to Investigate the National Sc
curity league, submitted to the house
Of representatives on March 3, 1919.
The house of representatives adopted
the report of the committee. Mr..
Bryan says this report should be read
by every voter, because we are ap-
preaching the campaign Of 1920. He
says in part:
