FOR LAST FEW YEARS FAMED DIVA LIVED COMPARATIVE
 POVERTY

LUCERNE, Switzerland, Feb, 6, (H1-Minnie Hauk, former Amer ican prima donna and widely known on the operatic stage in the role of Carmen, died at the age of TT.
 Her Carmen of 30 or 40 years ago was the admiration of the American operatic stage. She was born il. CIV York in 1852 and when 9 yo'lng girl was taken by her parents to Atchinson, Kansas. There, the melodious darky songs of the South gave her some of the inspiration which later brought her operatic success.
 The once-famed diva made her last appearance in America at the Metropolitan Opera House in 1891 and three years later, as a final farewell to the operatic stage, made a brilliant tour of En- gland, France, Germany and Italy, appearing in her favorite role O Carmen.
 For the last few years of her life, Mime. Hauk lived in compara- tive poverty in her Villa Trib-- schen, near Lucerne. When in af- fluence she had bestowed her charities with a lavish hand and had sung for many benevolences abroad. Before her death she was stricken With almost total blind- ness.

WaItzing Mice as Protection.

JAPANESE Waiting mice those queer little
rodents whose sole aim in life appears to be
to get of horizontal plane, have at last been
put to a practical use. 1t is the queer form of
activity in which they are constantly engaged
that has made them useful.
For years, canaries have been used in mines
to serve as warning signals to miners that
carbon monoxide gas was spreading its slow
always sent the miners scurrying TO safety, but
the canaries have been found at best, to give
their warning just a scant margin before the
danger point to man has arrived
Some birds have been found more tolerant
toward the gas than Others and birds of little
activity are not affected by the gas nearly
soon as those on the move.
Naturally, q man engaged in violent effort
becomes much more quickly affected by the gas
than a man whose movements are held to a
minimum. The more rapid breathing caused by
exertion calls for much greater quantities Of
oxygen and when the monoxide is present, such
rapid breathing increases the intake Of the gas.
The high metabolic rate of the mice and the
oxygen demand, accompanied by high respira-
tory exchange and rate of circulation, make
them respond much more quickly than man
and even more quickly than the canaries
In view of these facts, 1t was thought that,
with their almost incessant activity, japanese
waltzing mice might be more susceptible to car
bon monoxide poisoning than either canaries,
common house mice or white mice.
The Japanese waltzing mouse is thought to
be mutation of the house mouse and is COM
monty found in Japan and China It appears
to be unable to orient itself to a horizontal
plane, which results in erratic running around
in circles, wide or narrow or in figure eight,

The mice are totally deaf, to add to their
troubles.
In comparative tests at the Pittsburgh expert

found that the waltzng mice showed signs Of
response to carbon monoxide far sooner than
the birds. The mice quickly recover, and q

choose captains forthwith. March on! This
shall be your warrant. May the God of the
Armies Of Israel be your leader" At these
stirring words the farmers, although their har-
vests were but half gathered, rose in arms,
forming nine regiments, each of $50 men, and,
self-equipped, marched to New York just in
time to meet the advance of the British.
The budding young artist, son of this famous
SIRE graduated from Harvard at IL. He had
enthusiasm for painting in early youth. He
says in his biography: MY taste for drawing
began to dawn early. It is common to talk OF
natural genius, but am disposed to doubt the
existence Of such a principle IN the human
kind; at least in my own case can clearly trace
it to mere imitation My two sisters Faith and
Mary. had completed their education in an ex-
cellent school in Boston. Faith had acquired
some knowledge of drawing and had even
painted in oil two heads and landscape. These
wonders were hung in my mothers parlorS and
were among the first objects that caught my in.
FAINT eye. endeavored to initiate them and for
several years the nicely sanded floors (for car.
pets were then unknown in Labanon) were con-
stantly scrawled with my rude attempts at
drawing"
During the Revolutionary War the artist
served as an aide to Washington. In 1880 he
went to France and then to London, where he
studied under Benjamin West When the news
reached London Of the execution of Mai Andre
a spy, Trumbul1 was arrested by the British
he said 81 am an American; my name Is
Trumbull; am the son of him whom you cali
the rebel Governor of Connecticut; have served
in the rebel Army; have had the honor Of
being an aide-de-canp to him whom you call
the rebel George Washington I am entirely In
your power; treat me as you please, always re-
Numbering that as I may be treated, so will
your friends in America be treated by mine."
After eight months imprisonment he was re-
leased upon condition that he leave the country.
Some years later he journeyed to England as
secretary to John Jay and was engaged in diplo-
matte life for seven years. The last ~ years of
his life were spent in New York, where he be-
came president of the Academy of Fine Arts.
Upon the death of his wife, Trnmbull realized I
that he was lonely old man. He gave all OF
his paintings to Yale College in exchange for a
life pension of $1,000 year. Beneath the gall
lery in which these pictures were placed repose ,
the remains Of Trumbull and his beloved wife.

The expression Brother Jonathan" applied as

mated through Washingtons habit of addressing
Trumbun by that term and also by his custom
of saying to his associates: Let us hear what
Brother Jonathan says" Trumbull was Gov
ernor of Connecticut through the Revolution.
In 1776 when Washington wrote him concerning
the weakness of his Army, Trumbun came to
his rescue by quickly converting his committee
of safety and although he had already sent out
five Connecticut regiments, he called for nine
more, and to those who were not enrolled said:

naturally loved to work. He painted hundreds
of pictures, including the portraits Of practically
all of the prominent men and women Of his
time. Other famous historic pictures include
The Battle Of Bunker Hill, The Death of Mont
gomery. Capture of the Hessians at Trenton,
Battle Of Princeton and Sortie From Gibraltar.
His portrait Of Gen. Washington is claimed by
some to be the best ever painted by any artist
Trumbun was born at Lebanon, Conn, III
1856, and died in New York in 1843. He was
descended from famous stock on both sides of
his family. His father, Jonathan Trumbull, was
the warm friend and counselor of Washington.

About o'clock the garrison sailed forth and
passed through with ShOuldered arms, slow and
solemn steps, colors cased and drums beating
British march. They were all well clad, having
been furnished with new suits prior to the
captulation. They were led by Gen. OHara,
on horseback who, riding up to Gen. Washing
ton, took of his hat and apologized for the nom
appearance of Lord CORVALLIS on account of
indispostion. Washington received him with
dignified courtesy, bat pointed TO Mai, Gen.
Lincoln as the officer who was to receive the
surrender. BY him they were conducted into a
field where they were to ground their arms. In
passing through the line formed by the allied
Army their march was careless and irregular
and their aspect sullen. The order to ground
arms was given by their platoon officer with
tone Of deep chagrin and many Of the soldiers
threw down their muskets with violence suli-
Gent to break them. This irregularity was
checked by Gen. Lincoln; yet it was excusable
in brave men in their unhappy predicament
This ceremony over they were conducted back
to Yorktown to remain under guard until re-

Il 1 was In the han OF the COnClnenCal congress,
sitting at Annapolis, Md, December %, 1888,
that Gen. Washington rendered his resignation
as commander-n-chief of the American Army
