CRY CAME FROM HIS HEART

big success all over the country a few
years ago.

could procure, but even so, when the
harem girls plunged in, they turned
red as beets. A little later, l was
called on to throw the grand vizier

the temperature and when he struck

An Orang-outang never travels on
the ground when he can swing from
tree to tree. and, since there are very
few open spaces in the jungle, he
seldom reaches ground except when he
goes down TO get something. He can
swing incredible distances, hurting
through the air and catching branches
with perfect accuracy.

FURS NO MARK OF RICHES
Even the Poorest Farmers of Rou.
mania Wear Collars and Hats
of Finest Astrakan.

The poorest farmer in the Near East
can afford astrakan collars and hats
and the man without a good piece OF
fur on his overcoat collar or whole
fur lining is almost always a beggal
or a foreigner from America or west
ern Europe, where these things cost
money.
Nobody wears more fur lining OF
higher astrakhan hats than the cab
drivers.
These men comport themselves with
dignity equaled by no single other
class of men in the world, unless il
be by the priests of the Greek church
A long black plush garment, tight
at the collar and belted at the waist
by bath robe cord. envelopes them
from head to foot. Because it is
lined with fur. this garment makes q
man look far bigger than he really is.
And the high conical astrakan cap
like curly Ounce cap, adds to his
stature.
Many of the drivers are said to be-
long to d curious religious sect orig
mating In Russia, a sect involving
celibacy. They spurn friendship with
women as likely to decrease their love
for their horses.
Whether this is true or not 1t Ia
certain that the cab drivers are the
most picturesque figures in Bucharest,
Outshining even the corseted and
rouged Roumanian army officers.

INSECTS MAKE LEAVES WALK
Queer Creatures Responsible for Odd
Belief That Has Long Been Held
in Australia.

There are some strange leaves In
Australia which the people used to
think could walk alone. Whenever
there came q gust of wind these queer
leaves blew off in perfect shower
AS leaves generally do, they turned
over and over, and rested upon the
ground. Then they would seem to
crawl toward the trunk of the tree
from which they fell. Since that time
it has been found that these leaves,
as they were thought to be. were real
insects and lived upon those very
trees. Their bodies are thin and fiat
and their wings veined, just like a
leaf. If they are disturbed their legs,
which are folded away under their
bodies. leave their whole shape ex-
actly like the leaf of tree, with stem
and all. Bright green in the summer
these singular little insects, chame-
leon-iike. slowly change their color to
dingy brown, just like a leaf that
has been frosted. It Is strange that,
with wings, they do not fly, but rath-
er walk or crawl along the ground.

HONOR CLAIMED FOR BOSTON
First Public School in United States
10 Said TO Have Been in
That City.

1t Is probable that the beginning OF
the American public school was in
Massachusetts. In 1885 the people Of
Boston assembled In town meeting, re-
quested Philemon Purmont to become
schoolmaster and voted him 80 acres
OF land in part pay for his services
The school begun by Purmont later
became the Boston Latin school and
has had continuous existence to the
present time. Other settlements fol-
lowed BostOn's example and within
the next ten years common schools
were established In all the New Eng
land settlements. In 1647 the gen.
eral court Of Massachusetts ordered
every town having SO families to ap-
point teacher, whose wages were to
be paid by the parents of the children
he taught or by the inhabitants In
general. At the same time townships
having 100 families were required to
establish grammar school to fit
youth for college. The law establish
ing these two grades of schools laid
the foundation of the public school
system in the United States. Three
years later similar law was passed
In Connecticut, but Rhode Island
made no attempt to form a school
system until 1900

ARENA Gates To

NEXT SATURDAY
First Preliminary Bout to
Start at | P. NJ; Prin-
CipaIS viii Enter Ring at
3 O'clock.
tBy The Associated Press.I

New York, June 30.-The gates
of the arena in Jersey City, wherein
Dempsey and Carpenter will box
for the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship on Saturday, will be
opened to the public at 8 a. m. on
July 2. This announcement was
made by the promoter, Tex Richard,
tonight in connection with the
Statement that the first prelimln-
airy bout would be started at l D.
m. sharp, and the principals in the
Championship bout had been in
structed to enter the ring at p. m.
Eastern daylight saving time. or 2
p. m. eastern standard time.
In case the six preliminary bouts
should occupy less time than an
ticipated an effort will be made to
bring Dempsey and Carpenter into
the ring Immediately after the
semi-final in order that there may
be no tiresome wait for the specta-
tors
It is expected that there will be
a good sized crowd of patrons for
the five dollar seats on hand when
the gates are opened and for these
the wait will be unusually long UNI
less there is some early activity IN
the ring. All told, there will be
about eight thousand, five dollar
seats, three tiers deep at the top
edge of the arena, The rearmost
row will have an approximate sweep
of 1900 feet, as the arena is six
hundred feet in diameter
The alternate referee to J. Harry
Ertle and other minor ring Off

probably will be announced to-
morrow.

tBy' The Associated Press,

New York, June 30.--Expectant
Europe awaiting word as to the
result of the Dempsey-C Carpenter
bout, will receive its news and pic
lures of the event as quickly as this
age of wireless telegraphy and the
airplane will permit. Transmission
records between the continents are
almost sure to be broken.
A radio corporation has been re-
quested by the French government
to flash the result of the bout from
the ringside Direct connections
have been arranged between the
Jersey arena and the Tuckerton
station. The messages flashed
from there will be received In Paris
by a set specially installed for the
occasion.
Barring unforeseen delays. Pa
risians viii know of the success or
failure of their idol within three
minutes after the end Of the battle,
Photographs of the bout for
London and continental newspa-
pers will be carried out to sea by
hydro-airplanes and delivered to
an ocean liner on its way to Eu-
rope. about 100 miles off eastern
Long Island. The steamer will
sail from New York for Plymouth
at noon Saturday. Three big in
ternational picture agencies will be
in the race to get their pictures
before the continental public first.
The pictures will be developed
aboard the liner and made ready
fer airplanes that will meet the
liners off the English coast and
speed with them to London and
P9ris.
Betting on the outcome of the
Dempsey Carpenter fight in the
financial district was light today.
For some reason, presumably for
the purpose of shortening the odds
on Dempsey, followers of the
American withdrew their support
almost entirely. At the same time
plenty of Carpenter money was
offered. The Frenchman's sup
porters, however. demanded heavy
odds.
One of the wagers reported dur
ing the day was on the proposition
that Carpenter would not respond
to the call for the sixth round.
Money, which was said to come
from the Dempsey faction, was
freely offered on this phase of the
fight and was accepted in moderate
amounts by Carpenters followers.
