Dry-Time Atroclty.

A tale Of woe, with Sir Arthur Shir-
ley Benn, head Of the British trade
mission, was told at dinner at New
York. Sir Arthur. when he arrived in
the United States, brought his own sup
ply with HMM golf bag. Recently
the supply was exhausted-all save a
half-bottle Of real stuff. Calling in
some Of his fellow delegates, Sir Ar
thur proposed a final drink. Glasses
were filed, the bottle was emptied and
4 toast was proposed. Sir Arthur likes
water in his. And at some Of the Amer.
lean hotels where he had stopped they
have cute little taps stuck into the wall
Or into the washbowl from which ice
water flows when the button is pressed.
This was the last drink and Sir Arthur
wanted to be careful So he pressed
he button carefully. Then he tried to
down his drink. He didn't; he had
made mistake. Instead Of the Ice
water tap he had used tap that yield
ed liquid soap.

HAVE SIMILAR FINGER MARKS
important Discovery Made by Call
fornia Professor as to PecuIiarities
Of Family Groups.

Prof. ]. A. Larson, instructor OF
physiology in the University Of Cali
fornia, announced new discovery III
connection with finger prints which is
likely to have remarkable influence
on many important cases that coil.
Germ the law courts of California.
Briefly, Professor Larson's discovery
indicates that a similarity of trgs,r
prints among members of family il
sufficiently marked to enable scientists
to trace family groups and determine
positively whether given individu;,'
Is really a member of the family tt
which he claims relationship.
The Importance of the discovery in
probate cases such as the Slingsby case
is obvious.
Should DR.. Larson's new discovery
be accepted by law and science, tn.
Slingsby decision may be reversed, as
we'll as many other analogous cases.
DR.. Larson's Investigations began IL
1913 at the Boston university.
Since that time l have examined
prints of members of approximately
100 families" he said, land am salts
fled in my own mind that such q
means of Identification is possible
am preparing detailed reports of my
work now in order that science may
be benefited by my discovery. Before
! complete this. however, 1 expect to
investigate the prints of fifteen or
twenty additional families so as to re
move all doubt as to the accuracy Of
my diScovery."-Sa Francisco Chron.

FISH LIAR WORKS OVE,,7lNE
Here Is One Concerning > Salt Her
ring That Is Chal!e,.se TO the
Imaginative.

That Is the worst of those fish sto-
ries. Somebody always comes along
with a better one.
Recently the Evening News told the
V. A. DIS story of the frozen fish that
came to life in the cooking pot. Then
correspondence naval officer. it
should be said-eAsily puts that to
shame.
IAN interesting experiment was
tried some little time ago" he writes
to US, with an ordinary herring.
1.-THE fish was put into large Sowl
Of salt water and every day small
quantity of water was removed and
an equal quantity of fresh was sub,
stituted. until eventually the fish lived
and thrived in purely fresh water.
THE owner was so pleased with the
success Of his experiment that he then
tried removing very small quantity
of water daily until the bowl was
empty. and found that the herring did
excelently, entirely without water
and as he was 50 lively in the empty
bowl he had to put him in a cage.
Here he lived happily. hopping
from perch to perch just ike bird,
until one day some sudden noise star
tied him and he fell into bis wate'
trough and-was drowned!"

AMBER FORMED BENEATH SEA
Natural Resin Of Pines Turned Into
Precious Material by the Action
of the Elements.

The worlds supply of amber, that
rare and therefore precious substance.
the gold of the north" as it has been
called. comes from the coast of Sam
land in the eastern PruSSian PENN
sula, between the towns of BurStrort
and Palmnicken. and here the shafts
of a famous mine run out under the
Baltic and the miners are actually
working under water. Ages ago the
country was a land of pine forests
which the ocean overwhelmed; the
pine trees vanished beneath the sur
face of the sea, and then, century by
century, the wood became fosSilized
and the natural resin of the pines was
turned into amber. Millions of years
were needed to transform the resin
into amber, and the search for amber
has developed romantic and picturesque
episodes like those that have becoIre
part and parcel of the story of gold
and diamonds. An amber mine, how
ever, is not necessarily under water,
and there is an open-air mine at Palm
nirken where amber is dug for in much
the same way as diamonds are sought
in the mines Of Kimberley In nor
NAL times this one mine provides oc-
rupation for about 5000 amber
seekers.
