DEGREES EAGLE SLAUGHTER
r. Gilbert Pearson, Head Of Audubon
Societies, Would Repeal
Alaskan Bounty.

New York.-PrOtest against the
wholesale slaughter in Alaska Of the
bald eagle, symbol Of American indie
pendence, was voiced here by T. Gil
bert Pearson, president of the National
Associations of Audubon Societies. He
said that according to the last anthem
tic information he had from Alaska,
the territory had paid bOunties on
over $4,000 eagles.
"When l first discovered this law"
said Mr. Pearson, 81 at once began
campaign to try to get the bounty law
repealed. 1t is my contention that the
killing of these birds should be
stopped until the eagle can have its
day in court. The late Governor Riggs,
l am informed, expressed himself as
feeling that the time had perhaps
come when the bounty might be taken
off the eagle, but so far as / am
aware nothing has as yet been DONE"

Great Piano Maker.

Henry e. Steinway, American piano
manufactures, was born in Germany
in February, 1907. He learned organ
building and piano making and estab-
lished business at Seesen, near the
Harz mountains, but emigrated to the
United States in 1S49, and with his
three sons was employed in various
piano factories in New York. In 1853
he founded the firm of Steinway &
Sons, and In 1855 exhibited square
piano in which the American iron
frame was combined with an over
strung scale, the first example Of the
Steinway system. About 1866 the
Steinways began to make upright
pianos. Their instruments exhibited
at the Universal exhibition of 1867 be-
came models for continental manu-
facturers, while later improvements
have enabled the firm to take rank
with the famous, older makers of Eu-
rope. Mr.. Stelhway died In New
York In 1871.

friend, to his only child. Life had gone
well in the big, handsome homestead
until the master of it slipped away in
to the great peace.
The end had come so suddenly.
Arketh, stunned and desolate, had
tried to carry Onto go around the
world, as the two of them had
planned, against his coming of age.
But things had fallen otherwise
handsome. annuities had died with
his father-leisurely and expensive
idling before settling down would
mean an impairment of his patrimony
il would be unwise to risk. Then fate
had declared trumps in spades--by
means of Mexican mining investments
Arketh had spent three years in an al
most hopeless effort to save something
from the wreck-in reward he had
started home with not inconsidera-
bic salvage, and tarried by the way to
visit his fathers step-sister, his sole
family connection.
She was queen Of rich country
side, also gay, jolly, generous, loving
young folk with all her heart-per-
haps because she was childless-and
forever making her house the pivot of
things social. BY contrast. the old life
of dull comfort, prim responsibility
and narrow vision appeared to, Arketh
a prison. 1t chilled him to think of
going back to it-even with Clare.
Happiness flooded him at thought Of
her, always beside him, Frightening
and ,sweetening existence; but why
tax her unreasonably? Though not
rich, he had enough money for a de-
cent beginning anywhere, even though
Aunt Lura, who was wild to adopt
and make him her heir, might posi-
bly, change her mind.
She was kind to Clare In word and
deed--almost too kind, In fact. Yet,
intangibly he felt her attitude Of re-
greet over. rather than hostility to, his
choice. He had not told her outright

WHEN DID MAN Die?
Stops Breathing, but Heart
Beats on for Eight Hours.
Extraordinary Case In London Has
Aroused Considerable Interest
In Medical Profession.

London.-Much interest has been
aroused in medical circles here by the
extraordinary case of man whose
heart continued to beat for nearly
eight hours after breathing had ceased.
The question arises: When did death
occur?
The man in question, dustman, APP
parently had been In good health I'M
til Whitsun, when he became drowsy
and often would have fallen asleep but
for q severe pain I'm his head. He
was admitted to hospital suffering
from drowsiness, stiffness Of the neck
muscles and headache, but there were
no other prominent symptoms.
1t was decided to test the spinal
fluid, and accordingly at II 20 o'clock
in the morning the mans heart was
sounded and tested, after which chlorO-
form and ether were administered.
Tie operation took only half min
ute, but on being turned over on his
back again he ceased to breathe. al
though the heart was beating well.
Artificial respiration was tried, and
at $50 o'clock tracing Of the beats
was taken. At 80 the heart ceased
to beat.
At the post-mortem examination 1t
was found that death was caused by a
tumor on the right side of the brain
and that this would have nothing to
do with respiration ceasing while the
heart remained beating.
An eminent specialist has given as
his opinion that so long as his heart
beats man is not dead, and says that
in sleeping sickness (from which the
dustman was suffering), as in all brain
disturbances, breathing may cease,
though the heart continues to beat, a
different nerve center being involved.
But no explanation Of how 1t could
continue to beat for more than seven
and a half hours after respiration had
ceased is forthcoming.

Now her lips shut in straight, tight

might have said she was both shamed
and frightened. Arketh did not look
he could not, with his lips buried in
her soft, scented hair. She had gone
to his head at their first meeting, six
weeks back. Shortly after she had
gone straight to his heart, never to
leave it, he was sure, however his
wOoing might speed.

RemorseruI unvys.

A pathetic story Is told Of the gho0t
Of Bsham abbey. It Is said that the
wife of Sir Thomas Hobby was I'M
naturally severe with her son, who, II
seems, had peculiar aversion to writ
ing, and In his obstinacy would wilful-
ly blot his copybooks. One day his
mother, enraged at his perverseness,
lost her self-control and beat the poor
boy so numerically that he died from
his injuries. Since then one Of the
bedrooms In the abbey has been haunt
ed by the specter of the cruel woman,
who glides through the chamber In the
act of washing the bloodstains from
her hands.
1t Is stated that some years ago,
when an old window shutter of the six
teenth century was removed, "a packet
Of antique cOpybooks of that period
was discovered pushed into the wall
between the joists Of the skirtlng, and
several Of these books, on which young
Hobby's name was written, were GOV.
