For Biological Surrey

The finest equipment for biological
research in the world has been made
possible by a gift of $1.40O,000 to the
Woods Hole (Mass.) Marine Biological
laboratory A combined laboratory
and library building to cost about
100000, will be constructed at once,
which, with the present facilities, will
form an ideal plant for the institutions
interested in this work. The gift was
joint contribution from the Rookie
Teller foundation, from John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr., from the Friendship fund
endowed by Charles R. Crane, and
from the Carnegie corporation. The
laboratory was planned on a national
cooperative basis, as it is open to
all American institutions. During 1923,
10 universities and research organiza-
lions contributed to its support.

The Patient Burro

Generations of burros have been so
resoundingly beaten that a racial re-
venge seems to have settled into an
irritating Indifference to punishment.
The instrument of castigation is never
less than a club one inch In diameter.
The burro has learned to f1ex its
joints when the blow descends so as
to break its force. One Of them, a
young fellow 1t seemed to be, was
once observed to mistime its fiex
and In consequence received so full
a benefit of the blow that it indubi-
tably Knocked all future attempts at
anticipation from its anatomy.
Rumors are growing louder that the
burro will be displaced by the motor
car. In that case 1t will work its own
destruction; it will transport the end
less variety of material to build the
road that will lead to its doom.
Humanity is tagging behind the
burro in the race for existence.
Whether it finds nourishment in mere
philosophical contemplation is an
open question. Who has ever seen a
burro being fed? A nose-bag would
surely stifle it. AS for eating, a
burro was once observed hastily
snatching banana peel as it loped
along with its load and receiving a
Understanding whack from the
driver by way Of gratitude for pick
ing up living.-Lima~ (Peru) West

TORTOISES HAVE LONG LIFE
Allotted Span Of Three Score Years
and Ten Without Significance to
Those Creatures.

What animal lives the longest? Prob
ably the tortoise, though we cannot be
quite sure. According to Mr.. Frederic
A. Lucas in Natural History, three his
toric tortoises probably have attained
the greatest ages definitely recorded
for any animals.
A tortoise from the Aldabra islands
that is still living at st. Helena, says
Mr.. Lucas, has the distinction of being
the only creature now alive that saw
the great Napoleon, who died more than
century ago. How old the tortoise
was when brought to st. Helena we do
not know, but, venerable as 1t seems to
us with our allotted span of threescore
years and ten, It Is not so old as anoth-
er tortoise, which is-or recently was
Living on the island Of Mauritius
whittier it was brought from the Sey-
chelles many years before, being even
then of unusual size. In Mauritius 1t
became national possession and in
1910 was specifically mentioned In the
treaty by which the French coded the
island to England. 1t is said to have
been living in Mauritius for at least
seventy years, so that it is pretty safe
to conclude that 1t is at least one hun.
dred and fifty years old.
That tortoise has been COMPOUNDED
with. another, which was brought to
England in 1897, and which now Is
preserved in the Rothschild museum at
Tring. 1t was certainly more than one
hundred and fifty years old at the time
of It's death-probably 1t was nearer
two hundred years-and 1t is the lar
gest known tortoise. 1t Is reported to
have attained the weight Of five hum
dred and sixty pounds.

OJD WEAPONS OF DUELISTs
Controversy That Had Fatal Ending
Settled With Billiard Ball
cagliostro's Peculiar Idea.

Billiard players will be Interested
to know. that 80 years ago duel with
a billiard ball took place in which a
man was killed. The quarrel was be-
tween two men named Lenfant and
Mellant in the commune Of Maisonf0rt
(Seine-et- Oisej, France.
One September day they quarreled
over a game OF billiards. Challenges
were exchanged, the red billiard ball
was selected as the weapon land lots
were drawn to see who should, throw
1t first.
Mellant was favored, and threw
with such speed and aim that Len
FAINT, struck on the temple, fell dead.
The duel of the pill is credited to
Cagliostro. He had called a physician
a quack. Possibly the physician
thought this was too like the pot call
ing the kettle black. Anyway, he
challenged. Cagliostro proposed that
two pills, one poisonous. the othe'
harmless, be pat In box and shaken
up. Each was to draw pill and
swallow 1t.
"A medical controversy should be
settled in medical fashion," the
magician explained. 1t is not on rec
ord that the duel was carried out.

How he did hate upsets And today

Then the florist began 1t all again.
No, he could not give the gentleman

Snakes Dinner

AS one field mouse may kill ten
trees year, and single snake will
eat $50 mice in season, is not one
snake worth 1900 trees? The Reptile
Study Society of America held its an

once more the keynote of its policy

been taught to respect the wise old
owl as the sworn enemy of rats mice,

crops. The snake is equally with the
owl the friend of mankind

MORE "REMINISCENCES
BY J. Albert Whitelock
For The Midland Journal


/ surely enjoyed Mr.. H. s. Ma
graw's letter in the Aug. 18th
Journal.
He is evidently correct about the
storms passing in the afternoon, for
on reflection we did not thresh any
more that day. AS to the two spans
|of the bridge not blown down, l
don't remember this particular.
His reference to Armstrong;
foundry and Abrahams gate, recalls
the childish fear we felt when going
thru Abrahams' woods on dark
night, and the ''booby'' owls would
seem to follow overhead with their
''too-whoo, "too-whit, /" "too-whoo!"
How we would run or whistle to
keep up courage.
And the foundry,-how interest
ing it was to watch the molten iron
being poured into the molds The
last l heard of the business was its
purchase and operation by some
Baltimore company. Presumably it
has grown in size and Importance
with the passing years.
Tho handicapped by steep hills,
no doubt Port Deposit has become a
city of Importance by this time.
Situated at the head of navigation it
always was good shipping point.
The Tome Institute has given it
prestige as an educational center.
This reminds me of the Academy
taught by Mr.. B. F. Health, which
I attended the winter of 1866.
He taught some of the higher
branches; among these were book
keeping, the text being Eastman's.
For many years after, both in
teaching and in practice, found the
principles as stated by Eastman very
helpful
The dime novel was the bane Of
school life in those days. More
than one boy, more than one time,
would go to class scarcely knowing
where the lesson was, much less any
thing about it. He was well &C
quainted with Nick Whiffies, Eagle
Eyed Zeke or other s'yaller-back"
heroes.
But, did these boys go to- the
"demnition bow-wows" for such a
waste of time and energy ?E I trow
not. No doubt they became the
active. industrious, business men of
their time.
strange~how one thought calls up
another.
At the Heath Academy We had
singing, and to this day remember
some of the words and tunes Of at
least two songs.
Tho other scenes may WOO thee,
In far off lands to roam,
Never forget the dear ones,
Who cluster round thy home"
The other was about the West:
'Tis SO far off in the west, Tin
the west;)
TITS so far off in the west, in the
west;)
And fear we ne'er shall find it,
IT'S so far off in the West.
How L would like to have the
words and music to these old songs.
Perhaps some of your readers may
be interested in this, as was Mr..
Magraw in the storm incident.

BONUS REVISION
Conference Report Is Accepted
Without Record Vote

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The con-

was ratified today by the Senate.
Similar action by the House, which
will receive the report tomorrow, would
clear the way for dispatch of the meas
ure to President Coolidge.
There was no record vote on the con-

Senator Underwood. democrat, Ala

Other senators took the opportunity
to explain why they were in favor of
enacting the insurance bill, although
they viewed it as far from meeting cam
paign pledges and a fraud upon the
soldiers" Among these were Senators
Reed Missouri. and Harrison, sMissis-
sippi, democrats. The latter expressed
particular regret that the provision for
charge of compound interest on loans
to soldiers had been restored by the
referees after it had been stricken out
by the Senate.
