SAVES COSTLY BOOKS

Collection of Books on China Had
Been Soaked With Sea Water
During Visit of Tidal Wave
to Jap Port.

LOndOn.-The late Dr. G. e. Morri-
Times at Picking, had collected a splen-
did library of books relating to China
which he sold to the house Of Mitsui
In Japan. The Mitsuis, the Rothschilds
Of the Far East, were about to estab-
fish seat Of Oriental study and de-
sired the Morrison books for this pur-
pose. This much is known, but what
happened to the library between the
books leaving Doctor Morrison's house
in Picking and their arrival at Tokyo
Is not generally known and reads
somewhat like a romance.
These priceless volumes were
packed by the japanese agents Of the
purchaser in ordinary packing cases
and made the journey safely through
the Yellow sea and were landed at the
Japanese port of arrival. The cases
were then put into the ordinary ware
houses Of the port. Then a strange
thing happened.
The Japanese port was suddenly
visited without warning by a tidal
wave of unprecedented force and di-
mension. All the warehouses were
flooded and the whole library was
drenched In sea water. 1t seemed
that the damage to the priceless col
lection of books must be irreparable.

The Star-Mirror don't pretend to
know anything of the merits of the
work OF DR.. Adolph Lorenz, the ia
nous bloodless surgeon, who came to
this country from Austria to carry
on free clinic in order to, in some
measure repay the debt of his coun-
try for American aid, but if there is
merit IN his work, which there prob
ably is or he would not have gained
the worldwide reputation which he
has, it is cheap bigotry on the part of
the eastern surgeons to make it i'm
possible for him to carry on his clinic.

~parently been improving up to a short
time before the call came.

ings Friday morning and the funeral

his son Clayton, Friday afternoon at
200 o'clock, Rev. A. N. Porter of the

ter in WATERFOWL. He held a high
place in the hearts of all who knew

his devotion to his family and to the
principles Of right and justice In
which he believed. He lived the prin
ciples of Christianity throughout his

suggested it might come in handy to
carry a ladies' stylish suit with some
room to spare.
The last seen Of Mr.. butcher, he
was cantering around among the trees
and a nearby cornield, and his rattle
was making more noise than the pro
duce company's ice machine on a still

Fall Migration Of Birds
Coming Earlier Than Usual

The annual flight Of wild game
birds southwark from their breed
ing grounds is on and is ahead this
year of the usual time such flights
start. according to the Biological
Survey, United States Department OIL
Agriculture. Many more thousands
o. birds are now on the wing, the de-
partment states, than have hoWh
south for years.
All indications ara that the night
will not only furnish hunters excel
lent sport. but that there will nave
to be little waiting after the open
season starts. no reason IS as
signed by the department for the
earliness OF the southern flight. on
II the birds know.
The pintaiI and the teal already
are on the wing. The mallard, lhe
canvasback, the rednead, the wld-
geon, the black head and other later
omierants soon will be on their way
to warmer chimes. Reports from al
most every section tell of the great
size OF tIr flights already under
way.
From the sandhills of Nebraska
come reports Of larger numbers OF
ducks than seen for years. Little
Goose Lake in South Dakota. Vlslted
recently by d representative OF the
Biological Survey, was reported TO
be literally alive with ducks. From
almost every section of Iowa ducks
are reported to be plentiful. In the
Green Bay section of Wisconsin
there are said to be more ducks than
ever before. Many more black
ducks are reported in Maine than
were seen last season. Along the
New Jersey coast there also has been
big increase.
