to this statement. 1t follows:
Senator Selden Palmer Spencer, st
Louis, Mo.
Il have just been shown your state
ment that my seeretary's denial of
the previous statement by you that /
had promised American military aid
to Roumania and Seryia was issued
by him without my knowledge and
sanction, and that you did not for a
moment believe that had made any
such denial, or that the matter was
ever called to my attention. | wish
to state that your statement was
called to my attention by Mr.. Tum-
ulty and that requested him to issue
a denial, to which you refer. reiter-
ate the denial. The statement you
made was false.

PRIMITIVE SOUTH SEA CHART
One Used by Native Naviastors of tht
Marshall Islands Was Made
OF Sticks.

A sea chart of the South Sea Islands
made Of sticks. which served as an ac-
curate and authoritative guide for the
daring navigators of the Marshall
islands just as modern maps do, is one
of the exhibits to be seen in the South
Sea island hall OF the American
Museum Of Natural History in New
York. The strange sea chart is tho
gift of Robert Louis Stevenson, who
lived on the Island Of Samoa four
years before his death.
Distances between the islands were
measured by hours, not miles. These
charts are but little used now, but
there was time when each young
chief was compelled to pass his exam
ination In the charts, knowing them by
heort, as they never were taken to sea.
Some students say the sticks represent
currents. as there are four distinct
sets of swells from four quarters Of
the seas at various seasons Of naviga-
ton. which were closely studied by
the natives.

statement recently made by the SEN

Senator Spencer's address was de-

Beads are more necessary than
bread to the Leyantine. Men, women
and children wear and carry beads to
ward off III luck. Even the horses
and donkeys have strands Of beads
about their necks "to battle the evil
eye and the long horns of the work
oxen are decorated with blue and
white beads to keep them from fall
ing prey to disease.
In Athens, Constantlnople, Tifls,
Smyrna and other cities of the Leyant
men of all classes carry short strands
of fidget beads which they play with
while walking In the street, riding In
Street cars and trains, just as nervous
men in the West finger their watch
chains. Bead shops abound every
where In the larger cities and general
stores and market stalls sell them In
the smaller places. Peddlers hawk
them In the streets everywhere.

Ledestone. Which Really ls a Mineral
Can Hot Be Induced to Act
Otherwise.

The lodestone IS considered the most
wonderful stone In the world, but il
Is really not a stone at an. but rightly
belongs TO the mineral family. II
It Is suspended by a silken thread or
fioated on mercury. or on a circular
raft in water the same end OF the
stone viii always point TO the Lode
star" or North star; that fact Is
where II got It's name.
The lodestone is a natural COM
pass, such as the Vikings Of old used
to make centuries before America was
discovered. by rubbing a needle or
thin steel bar on a lodestone 1t be-
comes magnetized, and will float on
water and always point TO the north.
The most powerful lodestOnes come
from Sweden, aud hunters tell stories
of not being able TO pick up their guns
from the ground after laying them
near lodestOnes.
Galileo's original lodestone, viii,
which he made 50 many experiments
weighs only six ounces, yet It is 800
years old and holds as fir;nly now as
1t ever did. II Is exhibited In the
Tribune de Calico. Florence, Italy
The iron weight at the bottom is made
In the form of sepulchre. probably
suggested by the legend that Maho

The DIckeIssel.

The dickcissel is a small migratory
bird. about six and one-fourth inches
long. the male beautifully blended with
yellow, white and gray, and with a
black throat patch and brown shoulders.
The female is duller. These birds are
very numerous In the middle portions
Of the United States, frequentlng dry,
bushy fields or prairies. The dickcissel
Is a persistent songster, although its
song Is weak and has little melody. In
July and August. when many birds are
silent, dlckcissels continue their plain
tive chant, even on the most sultry
days. Their chanting is simple
"chlp, chip, che-che-chee." They
build their nests of weeds. grasses.
rootlets, corn husks and the like. They
build on the ground, in bushes and
thistles, and sometimes In trees. The
eggs of the dlckclssel are four or five
In number. They are plain. blush
white, hardly distingulshable from
those of the bluebird.

Aircraft Conditions.

the aircraft conditions in different
parts of the world, and they agree that
this country has the opportunity to lead
the world In civilian aeronautical &C.
tivities and as market for aircraft
in 1920. 1t was the joint opinion of
these commissions that the United
States Is ahead Of oil other countries
in number Of planes actually ordered
and bought for civilian purposes. num-
Der of aerial transportation lines be-
ing organized, actual daily perform
ance of the aerial mail service, and
volume of mail carried, and possbili-

that the post office has proved that
military planes can be converted into
mail carriers makes possible the utili-

RESEMBLE ACRES OF LILIES
Visitors. Beautiful Description of the
American Cemeteries in France
Exquisite in Uniformity.

Though American, relatives usually
want to plant flowers on the graves
of their sons or brothers in the Amer
lean army cemeteries in France. an
army ruling forbidding this has been
adhered to. The cemeteries, a uni
form stretch of green grass with white
crosses, look like "aCres of white Ill
les" according to Miss Elsie Goddard,
Wellesley graduate who has returned
to this country after having had super
vision of the Y. w. G. A. rest huts
built for the comfort of relatives Wis
iting the graves in four of the Ameri-
can cemeteries in France. "At first
every one wants to plant flowers on
the grave they love-" says Miss God
dard, "but they soon see that the army
ruling keeps the cemeteries most beau
tiful and impressive because Of the
uniformity. Cut flowers can be placed
on graves and flowers can be planted
In the flower beds near by, but not
on the graves. The French people
who are eager to decorate the graves
In some parts are often surprised at
this ruling. but our cemeteries as cared
for, are wonderfully impressive. Aft.
ter visiting them few Americans want
to take the bodies Of their boys horne,
though they have been determined to
do 1t before they came" The Y. W. G.

In 1909, when the Roosevelt expedi-

the professional photographer. Ker-
NIT Roosevelt suddenly was thrust
into the position OF official photog-
rapher to the expedition viewed this
arrangement with many misgivings-
because it was a task for maturity
and long experience-but the young
man made good. He made good 100

as well.
Mr.. Kermit's masterpiece is his best
picture of whole herd of elephants
in high but rather open forest, Will
liam HOrnaday writes in Scrihner's.
The light was none too good, but for
tunately it was good enough. This real
achievement was scored from a perch
placed to drop the intervening brush
out of view. Five tuskers appear in
the front line, and the elephants are
massed together in the composition as
neatly and perfectly as If the hand
Of man had grouped them to get all
the flankers into the picture.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt was very
proud of this picture, and so were
the editors of Scribner's magazine and
