They also quoted Secretary Of the
Navy Knox as having said last
month that the Government did not

However, Mr.. Knox told a press
conference yesterday that arms
would be installed as rapidly as the
merchant ships come into ports,

enough weapons to outfit all of
them at this time.
On the Senate side, meanwhile,
informants reported the Foreign Re-

Then came August, 1914. For

She didn't answer his ques-

as the years passed, he became
enormously wealthy-he had a
fortune of no less than 100 mill

most of this money came from
the amazingly successful venture
at Deauville. Cornuche and some
of his clients from Maxim's had
developed this little resort on the
coast of Normandy; and at the
baccarat tables of the new
casino at Deauville staggering
sums were won and lost.
BY comparison, the gambling
at Monte Carlo was childs play
.Cornuche sold Maxim's to an
English syndicate. Then they, in
turn, sold out to another COM
pany of investors.

Bah. You Germans, you

those billions.

choose to dwell on the painful
subject.

telling of things that had hap
pened in the years between the
two wars. This. she said, was

a few minutes later, two
sharp reports were heard, fol-
lowed by screams. Well, they
found the Grand Duke lying on
the divan, wounded, blood run
ming from his right arm. The
girl, very pale. held a revolver
in her trembling hand. They
just managed to get it away
from her before she could fire
again.
1T turned out that she was a
Russian student, a Nihilist, who
had wanted to commit this muir

During the twenty years pre-

ing up to human ears world of
research as suddenly fashionable
as the world the miscroscope
opened up to human eyes.
Insects, like birds and animals,
have their calls. But the sounds
they produce emanate from the
rubbing together of their limbs
or wing covers and the vibrations
of their wings, so they cannot
be spoken of as voices in the
strict sense of the word.
Landoise the naturalist has
noted three different tones emit
ted by insects "a low one during
fight, a higher one when the
wings are confined so that they
cannot vibrate, and a higher one
yet when the insect is held so
that none of its limbs can be
moved. This last is the voice
proper of insects and is produced
by the stigmata of the thorax.
Flies and bees undoubtedly
mean something when they hum
louder or lower. Landoise cal
culates that to produce the sound
of F by vibrating its wings, a fly
must vibrate 352 times a second,
and the bee to create A vibrates
40 times in a second. A tired
bee huns on f sharp This change
is perhaps involuntary, but un-
doubtedly at the command of the
will and is therefore similar to
the voice. When seeking honey a
bee huns to A sharp.

pers, and crickets. and. although

The music Of grasshoppefs is

First. by rubbing the base of one

by rubbing the inner surface of
the hind legs upon the outer sur
face of the wing covers. Fourth.
by rubbing together the upper
surface Of the front edges of the
wings and the under surface of
the wing covers.
The first method is used by
crickets, the second by the green
or long-legged grasshoppers, the
