FULFILLING predictions, the confer
4 ence at The Hague has come to an
end without results. Russian dele
gates, after all their stubbornness and
after refusal to meet with com
mirtee, at a plenary session went so
far as to offer to submit proposals to
Moscow under which the bolsheviki
would agree to recognize debts to for
elgn nationals as we'll as to furnish
satisfactory compensation for seized
property through private negotiations,
regardless of whether or not credits
were received But they spoiled
all this by notifying the British dele
gates that the soviet government
would expect immediate de jure recog-
milton. Immediately thereafter the
allies and neuuals adopted a resolu-
tlon definitely ending the conference.
The allies and neutrus. finding
all thoughts of "a general agreement
with Russia futile, did not see any use
in risBing d break among themselves,
but each reserved the right To resume
separate negotiations with Russia
after The Hague conference. Lit
viuaT head of the soviet delegation,
said Russia vii, attend NO more
conferences. Geuoa and The Hague
have been enough for us"

VICTIM OF OWN HANDIW0RK
Hew Maker of Boston Stocks Came to
Be First to Undergo the
Punishment.

When Boston was a little Puritan
village. the favorite mode Of punish
ment for small mlsdemeanors was to
place the culprlt In the stocks. BY a
curious chance the first person to be
so punished after the stocks were con
structed was the carpenter who made
them. The record relates that Ed
ward Palmer, for his extortion, TAX
ing pound, IL shllllngs, pence for
the plank and woodwork Of Boston

to be set an hour In the stocks"

Another measure was to place the

the ridicule of the public.

WHY:
Ducks Are Enabled to Shed
Water From Their Backs

Like water off ducks back" is a
phrase that we often use, for ducks
back is the most perfect waterproof
in the world.
Land blrus are soon saturated by a
heavy shower of rain. You may see
them afterwards fuffing out their
feathers SO that sun and wind may
dry them. But no drop Of water can
penetrate the plumage OF any aquatic
bird. Gulls, ducks, grebes, and cormo-
rants dive after food on the bleakest
days without getting either wet or
cold
These birds are provided with nat.
ural macintosh in the shape Of a
covering OF feathers which fit tightly
one on top Of the other. But their
plumage would not remain waterproof
II they did not look after It carefully.
Every feather must be creased at least
once day II II is to turn the water
Watch duck after its bath and
you will see the process. The beak
Is pushed hard into the roots OF the
feathers, and then brought up to their
very tips. Diving birds are provided
with special glands which supply the
beak with all the grease II needs.

central paragraphs read as follows:

bitter enemies for us in places where

of destruction may appease the infam

trapper denies that animals have a
real memory, says writer in the Lon
don Times. He admitted that most OF
them knew enough TO avoid trap af-
ter an experience or two with it.
but contended that this was merely
a manifestation of the self-preserva-
ton instinct.
The same man cited an instance
not at all unfamillar-of a dogs re-
fusing TO hunt with man who had
kicked him. He said that this too
was only the instinct Of all living
creatures to avoid injury.
Animals do have memory-at least
some Of them do. The trapper's theory

preservation plays no part. l once

when ont came that dog, wagging his
stubby tail. He jumped all over me,
In joyful recognition-and memory.
An amusing story, significant on this
subject, is told by my father. AS a
boy he lived on farm. and was al
ways a close student Of animal nature.
The mare he usually drove was old
and fat, and would never go faster
than a walk unless urged. There were
two roads to town. one branching or
from the other and little shorter. II
had been Old Maud's custom to take
this road, of her own volltion, until on
one occasion a vicious dog barked at
her and snapped at her legs. After
that the driver had to be on his guard
Maud would speed up when about 80
yards from the turmoil and try to get
by It before she could be restrained.
This showed not only memory, but
sense for planning.

Why Malamute Dogs Are Scarce,

Malamute dogs. the half-wolf, half
canine animals known as huskies. are
selling in the North at 500 apiece
and up, according TO returned hunters
and prospectors. When the North Is
Snow-bound and lakes and rivers are
locked with ice against navigation,
travel is almost exclusively by dog
sled. The lowest price at which dogs
can be obtained is 800 each, accord
ing to advices First-class animals,
such as crack "mushers' pride them
selves on keeping, are hard to get
at any price and when obtalnable
cost several hundred dollars, or as
much as good horse in the South.
Scarcity of dogs, II Is said, is due to
the neglect or breeding stock by the
