ESQ OF PHOENIX IS FOUND
Product of tho HJotorlo Fung-Whaitfl
Ho?Mo Bird Procured In China
by Natural ioto.
.naturalists doing field work In China !
for American museums picked up an
egg which the natives declared was the
i egg of the Phoenix?the Fung-Whang
| Ho-Ho bird. It hns Just been mounted
and placed on public view tn the Museum
of Natural History in New York.
Examination and comparison by the
' museum staff, says the Boston Transcript,
have resulted in the decision ftiat
disregarding popular legend, the immense
egg, 40 times the size of the egg
of.the domesticated hen, is that of n
gigantic prehistoric ostrich. Two imperfect
eggs of this fossil ostrich are
in existence and are owned by museums
In the United States, but this Is
the only perfect one known? perfect,*'
1 the museum announces, "with the exception
of a small hole through wMch
the original contents may have disappeared."
Its discoverer was a peasant pi the j
Province of Honan, China, who one
day found it sticking In the banfc of
the Yellow river and kept it as a
curiosity, treasured it as the egg of
that legendary Phoenix, which is still
revered by designers of Chinese decorations.
The fossil shell was filled with
water when it arrived at the museum
and was found to have a capacity of a
trifle more than two quarts. Two
quarts of albumen, yolk and protoplasmic
material?say four pounds of
foodstuffs?evidence that the high >
cost of living was one of the modern ;
things ancient China did not invent. 1
No scientist has *ver seen a bone i.
or remnant MpoJ ?nTcu iatd I
ovoia? like this one from the mud of ;
Yellow river. It may be Imagined that
the traveling naturalists had some dif- >
Acuity In acquiring it for the Phoenix j
to which It was locally attributed i
, stands In Chinese art and tradition as j
the symbol of Immortality and resur- j
rection. Farther west one of the le-;
, gends of the bird has been that every j
< 000 years it flew out of Arabia old and
, decrepit to Holiopoli, and there on an
, altar burned itself and rose from its
ashes young and beautiful once more I
. ?no bad symbol for the China of the!
present hour.
Boloism.
Charles F. Murphy of Tammany said !
in a- discussion of Boloism:
"The spread of Boloism shouldn't
surprise us, for money's corrupting
power is immense.
"Let me tell you a story.
"A senator, while traveling in the
South, attended a colored church one1
Sunday morning and put a $20 bill in |
tne collection plate.
"The collector gave a start. He car-;
rled the plate, with Its little heap of
coppers and nickels and Its crisp yellow
bill, np to the pulpit. There he
and the preacher and a couple of elders
conversed excitedly In hissing
whispers for several minutes.
"Finally the collector tiptoed down'
to the senator and muttered In hlsi
ear:
" 'Boss, when yo' gwlne to leave dls;
town?'
" Tomorrow morning,' said the senator.
" 'Wall, boss,' whispered the collector,
'we uns have decided to pass her
If you'll promise to keep still. Dere
ain't a man In town can tell her from
a good one.*"
An Operation by Telegraph.
An operation carried out under directions
given by a surgeon 1,800
miles away and sent by telegraph
1 saved a life In Australia recently, according
to the Scientific American.
The subject fell from his horse at,
Hairs creek in northern Australia and
suffered serious Injuries, including a
rupture of the urethera. An operation
was urgently necessary and there
was no doctor within 1,000 miles. The
condition of the patient was described
by telegraph to a doctor In Perth and.
he sent back, by the same means, In-j
btrnctlons under which the postmaster j
at nail's Creek with such surgical In- ]
stmments as he could get, the chief of
which was a razor, carried out the operation
successfully.
Turkish Government.

monarchy, of which the sultan

which the present sultan, Mohammed
V. Is the thirty-sixth sovereign In succession

JAZZ MUSIC for or BLUES
Dsm Not CsnsisB, M to NaasraHy #o>
lisved, of Lot of Noioo WWIno '
Rhymo or Reason.
Vnrtoas description# at Jan music
have from time to time appeared, but j
uoue seem to hit the mark exactly, |
says a connoisseur of this art. The ;
common impression la that tt consist a
of a lot of peculiar and noisy sounds j
without rhyme or reason. This la not .
the case, however. It consists chiefly I
of syncopation, peculiarly accentuated; {
variations by#some of the Instruments; |
Improvisations by others, mingled with I
odd sound effects. Through all this j
the melody of the selections rendered !
must be distinguishable at all times? j
tin can noises, beating the life out of '
the drums, blasting by the brass in- j
struments is entirely unnecessary.
vuiunisis oeiween pianissimo and for- i
tissimo passages should be shown Just
as much in Jan music as In the class- j
Ich.
Another wrong impression is thatj
Jazs orchestras must consist of a cer- 1
tain Instrumentation. This also is not
the case. The violin, 'cello, cornet, plnno,
or in fact, any legitimate instrument,
can be used. As jazz music is
originally Ethiopian, the banjo and
suxophone are used merely to lend negro
character to It.
The number of musicians that can j
Jazz properly is said to be small, be- i
cause it really requires good musl- !
clans, who must also be endowed with j
tli<? swing or knock of performing it. 1,
Although many of the cafe and thru- \
ter orchestras are composed of good 1
musicians, those who cun jass are 1
scarce. On the other hand, many of i
the self-styled jazz orchestras are mN?- ,
representations, uud cannot play the :
semlclasslcs _ or classics adequately, j
Some cannot perform it properly, untl i
to offset this, resort to noise and discord
in imitation thereof. The per- 1
centage of musicians who can do Justice
to the classics and also play jazz
is consequently even smaller. Tills i
kind of orchestra is prp??iin<,iw
scarce.
Jazz music is rhythmic and inspir- J
log. It is declared the best antidote i
for the hlues.?Milwaukee Sentinel. !
GREAT PROFIT ON STEAMERS ;
One Vessel Sold for $2,000,000 More i
Than It Cost After Being In Service
for Five Months.
Some Idea of the tremendous ad- j 1
vance In the price of*vessel property i
and the fabulous prices now being paid j
for vessels that can be boaght is
shown in the sqje of the Boston steamer
Tidewater, which has changed owu- '
ership after running In the coal-cnrry- '
Ing trade to this port for less than five :
months, says the Boston Globe. The
big collier cost to build ubout $670,000,; .
and was sold for more than $2,000,000, j
a profit of more than $2,000,000.
The Tidewater was built at the New J
York Shipbuilding company's yard,
Camden, N. ,T., and was completed
early the present year. The vessel Is
constructed of steel, is 3G8.6 feet long,
55.2 feet beam and 30.5 feet depth of
hold. Her net tonnnge Is 3,354 and
gross tonnage 5,200. She* was owned
by Castner, Curran A Bullitt, and was
sold to the American-Italian Steamship
company of New York.
Mexico an Indian Country?
It Is of Importance to Inquire Into
the attitude taken by the southern
Tn<ll?n. ?* 1 ? -> - *- - - ? *
uuiuno ui iuc?iv;u lunuru uie uinciai i
Spanish civilization, says the New lie- .
public. If it is difficult for an outsider
only slightly acquainted with the
southern Indians to understand the
reasons for their marked hatred of
the Spaniards ... It seems selfevident
of anyone who has spent any
time with them. To the southern Indians,
the Spaniard and his successor,
the Spnnish:spenking Mexican, Is 'ho.;
cruel alien conqueror. They feel that ;
they are Indians and that Mexico Is !
an Indian country. For instance, one '
of the common objections to Madero '
encountered in Onxncn was that he
was not an Indian and that the president
of Mexico should be an Indi in.
This attitude is significant, and it is
not strange to find even a north? rn
Indian like Huerta proudly excla;m- i
ing: "Yo so Indiano." Carranza's h ck
of popularity in the south is not so
much due to the fact that southi rn j
Mexico is the home of Diaz as to the
fact that Carranza is not an Indian, j

Why the Audience Smiled.
A certain clergyman, inclined to corpulency,
officiating as chairman at a
social gathering that had met to celebrate
the building of a new schoolroom
addressed the audience in the
following manner:
TPrlends-" h? Mid. M?t the plnut nf
this meeting there will be a collection.
It will not be for the poor," and, unconsciously
putting his thumbs Into his
trousers pockets and tapping with his
fingers his waist band, continued, "but
for the development and enlarging of
this department."

"De kind of charity dat begins at

"But," exclaimed the man of delicate
sensibilities, "will your conscience
permit you to do as you suggest?"
"Look here, friend," answered
the politician, "1 am accustomed to bo
boss, even of my own conscience."

Why do your cows give less milk
In winter then they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green
food. But we hare come to the assistance

of course, in a more highly concentrated
