Mirrors in Philadelphia nlovators are doomed Bays a New York World's correspondent. The order for their removal from elevators at city hall went otit recently, and will be follow ed by similar orders In the leading ho tels and oftico buildings, notably the liellevue, Stratford and the Land Title. The mirrors are being done away with as the result of numerous com plaints made. Conductors in the city hall elevators assort that nearly overy girl who rides becomes so engrossed in "primping" before the silvered glasses In the elevators that they for get what floor they want and cause delay. In the hotels and office buildings the conductors of the elevntors, who are instructed not. to speak to the oc cupants, utilize the mirrors to flirt with fair passengers, with the result that they pass the 'floors' while ogling the girl. Another reason why the ho tels will eliminate mirrors is that oc casionally a passenger from the roof gardens becomes too boisterous apd puts his fist through the glass, cutting his liapd and afterward suing the ho tel company. Liquid Air as Motive Power. Scientists declare fhat as a motive power for operating automobiles and tho electric storago air is superior to tht electric storage battery, since it requires no tedious waiting for the process of recharging and it delivers more than double the power of for iper, with halt the weight. Gasoline 1b not in the same clasn with liquid air, for the latter emits no noxious odors, nor is there any danger of ex plosions. As a refrigerant there no source of cold like liquid air. Other than operating automobiles and serv ing as a refrigerant there is hardly a thing the human mind can think of that liquid air cannot do, from provid ing a magical entertainment to the production of continuous power. Yet thcro is lacking a process by which it can be produced cheaply enough to compete with other sources of motive forceB now in use. Suicidal Habit of Butterfly. Considerable Interest attaches to a migration of butterflies to this coun try from the continent which recently took place, remarks the London Stand ard. The migration in question con sisted chiefly of the pretty "Clouded Yellow" and the well-known "Painted Lady." The extraordinary part of the story Is this, that none of either spe cies will ever get through the British winter. All true Hritlsh butterflies sleep from October to March, either as eggs, caterpillars, pupae or butter flies, but tho Painted Lady and Cloud ed Yellow perish. It has long been suggested that they migrate back again to France, but the necessity of waiting for a north wind and the fact that such a wind In October Is In variably too cold casts some doubt upon this theory. The Red Admiral is another victim to suicidal migra tion. The lllumlnatl. The lllumlnatl would be called in these days "nationalists." or "Free thinkers," or "Liberals." Founded in Spain about 1 r?Tr?. the order or sect or whatever you may choose to call It, spread over all Europe, becoming es pecially strong in France and C.er many. They claimed that truth, and the proofs of it, were internal, to be found in the reason and conscience, rather than in the outer .works of things, such as creeds, forms and acts. The rationalism of the lliuminati wag. as Matthew Arnold would say, "tinged with emotion," being a combination of rationalism and mysticism. The op position of the church was strong, and tho flrst of the HUwuinati paid tho usual penalty of being "\r: orthodox." HENDRIK. Aa Indian whone lank figure wan hidden In the padded depths of a lirlt IhIi tifflotf'i h< <i i )?- 1 uniform, and whose ? o|>i?? r y fare peeped out from behind the HH-nlutH of a coquettish black veil, was standing In conference with Co 1. Kphralm Williams, leader of a body of Colonial troops. Tho veiled man wan Hendrlk, one of the foremost chiefs of the Mohawk nation. WilKimi With 1,000 soldiers, and Hcndrik with 200 Mohawk braves, had been detached from the main body of the English mllit lumen who had hur ried north to meet a large party of Prenob soldiers, Canadians and their Indian allien who wt*e invading New York. The detachment learned that a flanking force of French were ap proaching. "Are our numbers sufficient to meet , them?"aifked Williams,' "If wo are to fight," retorted Hen drlk, "we are t o<? few. If we are to be killed, we are too many," The 8avage With ths Veil. Williams then proposed a plan to di vldo hia 1,200 men into three detach* ments for the attack. Hendrlk by way of aiiHwer picked up three sticks, and bound them together and strove to break then). He could not do It, Then, taking each stick separately, he broke all three with ease. " Three sticks tied in a faggot," said he, "cannot, readily be broken. One by one they are easy to break. So with our forces." It wan by such quaint, commdn sense phrases that Hendrlk had won throughout the colonies a high repute for shrewd wisdom, liy far his chief claim to greatness lies In the Impor tant services he was forever render ing to the English colonies, not only in the French and Indian war, but among his own people, Hendrlk was born in 1680. He was the Bon of Wolf, a Mohegan chief, and of a Mohawk princess. As was often the custom, he became enrolled in his mothers tribe and later strengthened his bonds to it by marrying Hunnis, the beautlfnul daughter of a Mohawk chieftain. His bravery and wisdom soon raised Ilendrik high in the coun cils of the "Six Nations." , He was from the first a loyal friend to the Eng lish colonists. To his efforts largely was due the celebrated treaty of 1754 between the Six'Natlons and the Eng lish. It was a, dangerous period for the British colonies in North America, for Franco was planning, to sweep thoso colonies from the face of the earth and to claim the whole North Ameri can continent as a huge French prov ince. In Canada and in the west the French were all-powerful. They had made allies of many strong Indian tribes, and wore trying to lure to their standard tho "Six Nations." Had they succeeded in doing this New York and other colonies would probably have been overrun by local hostllo Indians as well as threatened from north and west by the French Invaders. It was a perilous monVont, and Hendrlk, by his stanch loyalty., helped 'to turn the scales In the colonies' favor. lie even raised hundreds of savage warriors and took part in the battle of I^ake George against Baron Dleskau's invading horse of French and In dians. It was during this? his last ? campaign that he gave his celebrated advlco to Col. Williams? wise coun sel which the colonel leader unfortu nately had not the wit to follow. Hendrlk formed a lifelong friendship with Sir William Johnson, who was superintendent of Indian affairs. John son understood Indian character as did few white men. So when he appeared once in a gorgeously embroidered suit he was not surprised to hear Hendrlk say: ? ? "I dreamed, Sir William, (hat you gave in e that suit as a present." Johnson (knowing the significance of dreams and visions among the sav ages, and realizing ho was being trick ed) obediently took off the gorgeous suit and turned it over to Uendrik. Next. day Sir William sought out Hen drik and said: "I>ast night I dreamed you gave me a deed for such-and-such a tract of land." A Contiest In "Visions." Uendrik, taken aback, but equally well understanding the trick, grunted sullenly in reply: "The land shall be yours. Hut I will never have another dreaming contest with you!" Yet the incident did not sever the friendship with Sir William. Through the French and Indian V'ar lie fought at Johnson's ~1:!e and did valiant deeds in behalf of his white brethren. lie wore a Mritish officer's uniform and, for some unknown reason, always went. into battle with a veil on his face. In the expedition on which IJendrik and Williams led the detach ment of 1.200 men and during which Williams refused to listen to the chief's sage advice, their camp was pitched for a time near Fort (?eorge, N. V The two leaders with a small body of men went out September 8, 1 7.r>5, on a reeonnoitering trip to Rocky Urook, about four inilns from their en campment. They were ambushed there by a larger force of Frenchmen. Fifty of their followers were killed ' or wounded. Uendrik and Williams both died in that battle, lighting desperate ly to the end. The aged chief's death was amply avenged by his Mohawks, and there was bitter mourning among tho Bi* Nations for the fall of their mopt re nowned warrior. (Copyright.)
