a few dozen Hungarian words of com

CAl-CUTTA. Jan. 27. (Special, Cablegram
to The Bee.) Efforts are being made to
stamp out the habit of earth eating which
is prevalent among natives over almost all
of India. In northern India the favorite
form of earth consumed is the gray or
drab-rolorea shade. This is excavated
mostly at Meth, in Blkanir, and is exported
to the Punjab at the rate of 2.000 camel
loads a year. In different districts different
kinds of clay are eaten. ut if the natives

hunger; fourth, force ot example; fifth,
supposed, medicinal virtue.
The habit is not always confined, ss
might be Imagined, to the lower ordeTs. A
university graduate confessed to a friend
that the bland earthy odor was a great
temptation tn him and that the very
thought of It made his mouth wster. He
always enjoyed the odor, he said, when
showers fell upon previously parched earth.
The effects of the habit are disastrous.

professor at Oxford. In a lecture before th
Royal Institute, made the announcement
that at a ronferene of scientists at Ox-
fo-d recently it whs decided to mak a
resolute "attack" on the sun. A large
number of astronomers, with Prof, lisle

devote all their energies to learning some
thing more about It.
Prof. Hale, according to Prof. Turner,
is conducting his observations from an
observatory on Mount Wilson. feet
high, overlooking l.os Angeles, In Call-
fornla. Prof. Turner said that on of j
th reason why it had been decided to
make this uniform scientific attack on
th sun was found In the tact that It was
th only star that could be studied in de-
tall. There waa the advantage of history
on th side of science. Inasmuch aa from

wholesalers and retailers refuse to handle

tional boycott of that character would be
10 establish new wholesalers and new re
tailers, and this of course is not possible.
' Hnce It happens that flour shipped from
California, Oregon and the state of Wash
ington no longer competes on an economic
basis with flour from Australia and other
ports of the world. From reasons purely
sentimental the Chinese are refusing to
touch the American goods, no matter what
the price. Hence It is that American trade
In the o-ient Is taking a terrible tumble.
But for the fact that American petroleum

figures so largely in oriental trade Ameri
can commerce would ahow a still greater
falling off. But the Stsndard Oil company
has a practical monopoly, especially since
the check put upon Kuaslan oil production
as a result of the strikes and the riots
in the Baku district. And having a prac
tlcrj monopoly it la difficult to see how
even the wily Chinaman can slop taking

One of the remarkable features about the
Chinese boycott is found in the fart that
though it is said to be in revenge for the
exclusion of Chinese It originated in Shang
hai, whence tin laboreta go to the United
States. Since' then it has been as keenly
prosecuted there as In Canton, the home of

This' In Itself would go a long ways to
ward proving that other questions entered
Into the equation besides the mere matter
of emigration to the United States, and for
this very reason It has been argued that it
could not be so much an antl-Amrrican
an an anti-foreign movement an appeal in
fart to the same spirit which promoted -tho
growth of Boxertsm. From Shanghai It
has spread to all parts of the Chinese em
pire except Tien Tsin. where the viceroy
would bare none of It. But It even had an
effect mure far-reaching than in China
I alone. The Straits Settlement and all of
the Islands In th vicinity of China have
responded to the call of China for the Chi
nese. The Initial steps were taken so far
ss the world at large knows by the offi
cial Chamber of Commerce, and not by
th mercantile guild, which Indeed were
busied later on In protecting their members.
the bankers and the merchants, from th
disastrous effects of th movement. But
th strange pert about it all is that in
reality official China does not appear to
b in favor of the boycott, and It might
have been supposed that official China
would have influence enough to prevent
th Chamber of Commerce from the tak
ing of drastlo measures. One thing Is
pretty certain, this medieval country has
learned, partially at least. . to recognise
th modem tnjtN thst all nations are one
In matters of trade and that what Injures
on cannot benefit another. This lesson

ASTOR TO RESTORE A CASTLE

LONDON. Jan. X7 Bpec,ial Cablegram to
The Bee. William Waldorf Astor has de
cided upon a plsn fir the restoration of the
historic castle of Hever, which will have a
tendency to restore to this property many
of Its traditional) glories. Mr. Astor has
kept his plana in connection with the Im
provements of the castle of Hever a pro
found secret, and It was not until he ac-
tualty commenced the operations looking
towards the Improvement of the property
that any of his Ideas In this connection
leaked out. Mr. Astor Is best known as a
large landed property owner In England by
his estate at Cliveden. But It his plans for
the revival of the castle of Hever do not
make this estate begin to compare with
that of Cliveden It la certain that the prop
erty wilt be Improved nntil In Its magnifi
cence it surpassed even what It was bs'jk
In the days of Anne Boleyn and King
Henry VIII.
This new Astor estate Is located In Kent
on the banks of the River Eden. Already
the old bridge across the river has been re
moved preparatory to the building of a
strong bridge with wide stains, broad road
way and steel frames. Among the other
plana for the Improvement msy be men
tioned the following: Restoration of th
castle to Its ancient Wttlemeuted glorl-e. j proximately SIO votes In the next Parlla

together some hundred horse a have been

It Is anticipated that as many mure will be

WASHINGTON. Jn Z7.-Speelal Tele,
gram, e Senator Burk"tt is not at all satis
fied with the Joint sttehni)d bill aa it
passed the house on Thursday. He la n
tr.uslasilrally in favor of the admission
of Oklahoma and Indian Terrleory as nr
state, but is oppose! to the admrsaion
of Arizona and New Mexico Into the
hrotherhod of stales as a single state.
Senator Burktt Is inclined to think that
Senator Foraker's smendment. eontem
llating the aJ'ul1n of but one state it
this time. OklalHWiia and Indian Territory.
Is the real sentiment of the American
people If a vote could be taken on tbe
proposition. Tet Senator Burkett Is afraM
that if the Foraker amendment carries in
th senate it might Jeopardlx statehood
I-gislatkm. and shonld th house Insist
on the bill which passed that body on
Thursday. It might have the effect of de
feating all the efforts to bring hi Okla
homa. Should Senator Burkett become
convinced that the passage of th Fora
ker amendment would make impossible an
aereemert between the hojse and senate.
then Senator Burkett will vote for the bin
ss it pa.sed the house, reluctantly, of
course, but actuated solely by a desire to
bring In Oklahoma.
With many western snators Senator
Burkett believe that Aiianna and w
Mexico shonld be admitted Into the urnon
when they are ready for statehood, as two
separate states. He hi (Irmly convinced
that any other coarse would be detrimental
to the Interests of that great section of
th country lying west of th Missouri.
Before h" casts hi vote on the state
hood proposition Senator Btirkett said to
day that he would take counsel with the
leaders st both nd ot the capltol and
if there Is a chance of an agreement tn
vote for the Forak"r amendment. If
there appears to h no chance of an
agreement he will vote for the Mil as
It comes from the committee n terrl -tori,
which will be an admlirtstraelnii
measure.
Wlllard with Party. , r
Lately there has been considerable apeev
lattnn aa to where Senator Millard wouM
Und on the Philippine tariff Nil. state
hood bill and railroad rate bill, ft Is now
positively stated that Senator Millard will
vote with the administration and with hi
party on ull three of th measures.
n the rhlllpplne tariff bill fWiator' Mil
lard recalls how ridiculous he and Senator
Iltrich appear"! when thv voted against
Ih Cuban rclproclty treaty. Almost tb
very day they were in Washington an
tagonising th Cuban measure beoaus tltev
believed. If passed, it would seriously af
fect th bet sugar Interests of Nebraska,
he republican state convention In session
at Lincoln pa"ed resolutions urging the
adoption of the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
With this experience fresh in his mind
Senator Millard said today, he was a parti
san and would vote with hia party on ail
these qntions now agitating tb country.
Says f lay I for Ceart Bill.
Senator Burkett received a tetter today,
from a prominent attorney of Clay Ootey.
