Robin Native in Three Continents.

English robins have nanesakes in
three continents, for in China and
New Zealand as well as in America,
settlers from England gave the ia
miliar name to a. native bird The
American migratory thrush recalls by
its reddish breast the brighter gorget
of the English species, Though duller
of plumage,p the New Zealand robin
earned the name by its tameness; and
there is a touch of. the same friendly
nature in the Chinese. bird.
Several English birds are distin-
gushed by a human nickname; tom
tit, iackdaw, magpie, jenny wren and
even philip sparrow. But only. the
robin redbreast has made friends 50
thoroughly with man that its fun
name is almost forgotten, while its
nickname is coextensive with the Eng
fish language.

Bio Tree as Reservoir.

In central Africa the gigantic bao-
bah tree, whose trunk sometimes at
tains diameter of 40 feet, often
serves as a natural cistern. retaining
rainwater in large quantities in a
cavity formed at the top of the broad
trunk.
Taking the hint thus afforded by
nature, the Arabs artificially hollow
out the trunks of large baobabs and
fill them with water during the preva-
lence of rains as provision against
the dry seasons.
These cisterns are in some cases
twenty feet in height and eight or ten
feet in diameter. The water is used
both for drinking and for irrigating
melon patches.

CRAIG g. COLLINS
IN A DEADLOCK
Their Conference on Boundary
Dispute Ends in Com
plete Disagreements.
SITUATION IS VERY CRITICAL
Question May Be Referred Now to tn,
Commission Provided for in the
Treaty-Conferen Lasted
Two Hours.

Dublln.--A deadlock has occurred il

| Free state and Ulster. Sir Jam
! Craig and Michael Collins met in pr

great deal of public interest was mani
tested in the visit of the Ulster leader
who was received cordially by largr
crowd The conference lasted nearl'
two hours and when Craig and Collin,
emerged from their room it was evi
dent from their demeanor that a cruA
had been reached.
Craig before leaving the city was
asked if he had any statement to make
to which he replied, Yes" The fol-
lowing official statement was then is
sued by Colonel Spender, secretary t.
the Ulster cabinet:
"The discussion between Collins and
Craig was almost entirely confined Il
the subject of a boundary commission
Owing to the fact of ColIins's stand
on. the boundary commission and th,
Irish delegations agreement with Pre-.
mier Lloyd George that large terrific
ries were involved and not merely A
boundary line, as Craig was given to
understand privately by several Brit
ish ministers and from the statements
of Mr.. Lloyd George in the House OF
Commons No further agreement was
reached. A very serious situation has
consequently arisen"
Craig visited the lord lieutenant inn
mediately after the conclusion Of tn
conference and did NOT therefore cross
to London as he originally intended.
The deadlock is regarded in political
circles here as very serious, and it i
reported that measures to counterfeit
the administration of The northern par
lament are being contemplated by the
leaders of the provisi onal government.

fate of three prisoners under sentence

PAINTED BY GREAT ARTISTS
In olden Days Men of Genius Turned
Out Swinging Signs That Were
Really Attractive.

The staring signs that have so long
offended the eye on the tops of build
ings ultimately will be removed sim
ply for the reason of public safety.
Boards of fire underwriters object that
the structures not only serve to spread
the flames, but greatly hinder the fire
mans work. One might wish that the
mandate included all the encroach-
ments of the signboard. remarks the
Kansas City Star.
Man diligently advertised his wares
even before the day of the frescoed
goat over the Pompeian dairy. But
in those old days the desire for Gus
tom was tempered by a zest for art.
The floating cupid, pictured in front of
an ancient sandal makers shop, bal
ancing one sandal on the curly head
and waving the mate in his chubby
hand, is a thing of beauty as well as
Il symbol of trade. The picturesque
swinging boards of some generations
past were outgrowths OF the display
of armorial bearings and heraldic
crests sumptuous and pleasing TO the
eye.
In days gone by artists of note did
not scorn to try prentice hand on
such signs. The "Mule and Muleteer,"
an early work of Correggio, was orig
inally painted for an inn. Many

lie lion or a unicorn. The age of
artistic sign painting received its
death blow in the reign Of George II
when such erections fell under the
head of street nuisances."

be identified with abnormal conditions
of two small organs located at the
base of the brain-the thyroid gland
and the pituitary body. The. overac-
tivity of these, preceding or near the

Sometimes, however, their overactiv-
