Slain After Threatening

Patrolman James F. Murphy, of the
Parkville police station, Brooklyn, shot
and killed Werner Sharlander last
night at 1850 East Twenty third Street.
Mrs. Leroy Calhoon, in whose home
at that address Sharlander lived, had
telephoned to the police for help, say
ing that her boarder had threatened
her life. Murphy was sent to the
house. He was placing Sharlander
under arrest, he said, and the latter
put up fight which compelled him to
draw his revolver.
According to the police. Murphy found
Sharlander in Mrs. Calhoon's room IN
the second floor. The woman's belong
ings, it was said, were strewn about
the foor and Sharlander was intent
upon search of the bureau drawers.

lander that he was under arrcs the
man is said to have drawn a sheath
knife and leaped at him. Murphy said
he fired in self-defense, and in this

TIME MAKES A Difference
Poets and Musicians Of Old Days Lived

A Philadelphia connoisseur has re-
turned from England with manu-

1t is said that the total amount Shell

$3.50.
As one reads Of the fantastic sums
that change hands in the auction room
today for books, manuscripts, pictures
and other works Of art, one is moved
to moralize upon the difference

made to the artist In his lifetime.
Chatterton poisoned himself ere he
was eighteen to escape slow starva-
ton, since he was too proud to dis
close his utter penury; and now few
words from his hand would bring
enough to support him for years

six Of his songs were sold to a pub

TELLS OF BUTTERFLY GHOST
Naturalist Records Appearance Of In
sect Which Has No Apparent
Material Physical Body.

An American naturalist and ex-
plorer tells Of his first sight Of the
transparent butterfy-Hoetera piera-
Of British Guiana, an insect through
whose outstretched wings any sub
stance on which 1t rests can be clear
ly seen. "As we crossed a swirling
creek" says he, ION the trunk of
mighty fallen tree something fiuttered
ahead. We could not see what it was.
Closer we came, and still the object
remained indistlnct; we seemed to see
a butterfly, and yet that appeared i'm
possible. At last we marked 1t down
on a fern frond, and crept up until
our eyes were within two feet of it.
Nothing was visible but the graceful
lacework of the frond until a slantlng
beam Of sunlight struck It; and there,
close before US. was the ghost OF
butterfly. 1t spread fully three inches,
but was wholly transparent save for
three tiny spots of azure near the
margin Of each wing. AS we looked 1t
drifted to a double-headed flower Of
scarlet; and when 1t alighted the
scarlet Of the flower and the green Of
the leaf were as distinct as If seen
through thin mica, and the faint gray
haze Of the insects wings was marked
only by indistinct veining."

Beautiful but Short Lived.

OF the countless millions Of butter
flies and moths, the most see light in
June and are dead before the end of
August. Some are born to live but
four weeks. A struggling few last the
winter through. But on the construc-
ton Of all these creatures Of a month
or a year, the same infinite creative
pains have been lavished.
In the eye of butterfly are a thou
sand or more perfect lenses. On the
wings of large butterfly a million
and half feathery shingles Of micro
scopic proportions are laid in perfect
order. So small are they that they
look like dust when brushed off the
hand. The patterns Of the wings are
due TO the arrangement Of these
feathery scales. The colors are due In
part to pigments In the scales, and in
part to the reflection Of light from
delicate ridges and situations on each
microscopic scale.

ARCHITECTS or HIGH RANK
Egyptian Builders Made for Them.
selves a Name Which Has En-
dured Through the Centuries.


1t is generally conceded that the
Greco-R0man home was the most per-
feet type of the antique dwelling In
plan, construction and decoration. 1t
is rlghtfully considered more richly
suggestive than any older house forms,
such as those of Egypt and Assyria,
but 1t Is not well to infer from this
that the latter types are unworthy Of
consideration, for they are confessedly
marked by a simplicity, dignity and
solidity Of construction and correct
use of decoration which, according to
authorities. give them high place in
building systems Of the world.
In Egypt, as in all countries, we find
that building forms were dictated by
and adapted to. the exigencies Of ell
mate. The constructive instinct, since
the beginning of time, apparently, has
been strong in the average man, and
nowhere did 1t impress itself in sim
pier, more enduring and more majes-
tic forms than in Egypt.
This is true, despite the fact that
the Egyptians professed, in view Of
the brevity of life, to consider their
dwellings as mere "wayside INNS"
and to regard 1t, therefore, a matter of
comparative indifference how they
were constructed. Notwithstanding
this attitude as to earthly dwelling
places, the rich and great lavished
wealth upon their palaces and great
houses The streets Of Thebes, Men,
phis and Heliopolis were bordered
with houses, plain and blank of ex-
terror, but embellished within with ut
most luxury and magnifcence.-Ex

Honey In History

Honey played its part in the drinks
Of our ancestors. Caucer tells Of a
drink called "clarre," which was
made Of ale and honey. The Romans
drink "mulsum," which was wine and
honey. Two old English drinks which
cheered and stimulated the people
who made England first-class pow
er, and which gave consolation to
early English colonists in America
were sack mead" and "metheglin."
Sack mead was made of honey, hops
and brandy, and metheglin was made
by compromising honey, hops and
yeast.
Much adulteration Of honey has
been practlced. Counterfeit honey has
been made from the strip of sugar
cane and glucose, elm leaves being
boiled with these things to give them
honey flavor. Starch, gelatin and
many other substances have been
used as Observation-Disclosures.

Various Kinds Of Honey.

Honey made out Of the flowers of
the rhododendron and the wild azalea
is irritating and narcotic. From the
mountain laurel or "callco bush,"
which grows plentifully In the noun
tain and foothlll regions of the United
States, wild bees make honey which
is said to be harmful to man. One Of
the famous varieties of honey is that
called Maltese, because produced in
Malta, and there, 1t is said, the bees
feast mainly on orange blossoms. An.
other famous honey held In high re-
pute in Europe is "Narbonne," and the
bees make that from the flowers of
the rosemary and related plants.
