Tomorrow the anthorities of the Smith- sonfan Institution will open the new Na- tional museum to the public. With its ten acres of floor space, every foot of which is wplendidly lighted, few museums In the world are so well housed. The new struc- ture makes the third of the Smithsonian- National museum group, and together they §ive approximately twenty acres of floor space to the of sclence and the spread of knowledge. The 7,000,000 objects which constitute the National museum collections will be dis- tributed among the three bulldings, but all of thoso which are chiefly of interest for exhibition purposes will be housed in the new bullding. The museum, while literally filled with exhibits of Interest to the lay- men confines its principal activities toward making an Institution of research, Searcely & week passes without several students from a distance golng over its collections for study purposes. Its collections soon wiil be so complete that the most seriofis In- vestigator will fihd all the material he Beeks. The diviston of geology atfords a strik- ing Nlustration of this. Hero is gathered the world's best collection of economic geology specimens. In the thirty years that Dr. Merrill has been connected with this work he has ransacked the whole world for materials, and there are now more than 000,00 separately catalogued specimens In his division. Hundreds of cases, each with hundreds of wide, shallow drawers, contaln thousands of specimens, each specimen a page in the great book of nature, rich in lessons for the student of geological subjects. Perhaps less than one- thirtleth of the specimens are on exhibi- tion, The collection of meteorites is one of the WMst th the world, the largest being at Vienna. While for show purposes the col- lection at the American Museum of Na- tural History in New York, takes first rank, the kinds of specimens which are most valuable for study purposes are to be found at the Natlonal museum. Seientists refer to exMibition ‘collections as the "oh my" exhibits, The main effort of the Na- tional museum has been to gather such meteorites as will enable sclentists to de- termine the secret of their origin and travels. The exhibit of extinct animals s full of interest, but here again museums of other cltles have advantages over the National museum in that they have more responsive sources than congress for funds with which to acquire new material of this nature. One may see the skeletons of giant dinosaur and other mighty monsters of PFenistorio times, gathered from American excavations. Had a Roosevelt lived In America some cons 8go he would not have had to go half way around the world to find elephants and other glant creatures for his sport. It fs Dr. Merrill's firm con- ~viction that millions of elephants ance roamed over our roil as did the bison at & later date. As exhibit No. 1, by way of proof, he has the skeleton of a glgantic old fellow, which was unearthed in a Michigan peat-bog some years ago. Thiy skeleton Is mounted and makes those of African elephants lgok like pygmies in con- trast. The collections of the diyision of mammals are of rare luterest. From an exhibition standpoint such exhibits as the Roosevelt trophles take first rank, but from a scienti fio standpoint such collections as those made by Dr. Abbott in the East Indles are of prime value. It Is sald that there are some 5,000 known specigs of mammals in the world, of which some 1,200 inhabit America, but new specles are being described at the rate of about 30 a year. Ah!

The catalogues show the National museum to be ahead of any of the other | | M European museums, even In its colléctions of mammals from that continent. In the last few weeks the museum au- thorities have installed one little case of exhibits Rooseveitiana. In It are the skulls of & llon, a rhinocerous, a giraffe and several smaller animals. The case is in the hall occupled by the exhibits of com- parative anatomy, which is one of the most interesting collections in the museum. Here one may study the strang relationships that exist between all mammals. In one case is the skeleton of & man leading the skeloton of a horse, showing at a glance all points of similarity and dissimilarity. In this hall is the skeleton of one of the biggest whales that ever disported In the playgrounds of thé sea, and one stands almost under it while looking at the 242 exhibits of sea shells so small that It re- qQuires a Ligh-powered microscope to «tell whether they are gralns of dust or pe fectly formed creatures of the deep. One of the most from the standpoint of the layman, is that of the anthropological department of the museum, Here one may trace the develop- ment of the race from the time s0 remote that history stands dumb and tradition is | silent. He may look Into the reconstructed homes of cave-dwellers and wielders of stone hatchets, and by easy graduation follow his ancestry up to the present civill- zation, Some of the exhibits In the dlvision of ethnology are remarkable for their beauty and the art displayed in their making. The case contains a representation of an Es- kimo fishing scene. The whole Eskimo party and thelr dogs are grouped about and one does not know which to admire most—the alert attention of the dogs or the bright smile of pleasant anticipation that plays over the face of the little boy as he sees the fish drawn out upon the ice. There are Indlan war dances, Indian wWomen grinding meal and other incidents of -the lives of the real first familles of America. In the dlivision of technical history one may follow the development of naval archi- tecture from the first hewed-out log to the modern steamship. He may seo boats of grass, boats of skin, rafts of logs, and may follow the sall from the first canvas hoisted to the breeze to-the best modern full-rigged merchantman. He may see the models of the first steamboats, going back as far as John Fitch's many-oared affalr, which was salled on thé Delaware river in 178. This vessel was made to run like a modern varsity crew boat, only the oars were perpendicular Instead of nearly hori- zontal, A fine exhibit is that showing the history of aeronautics, from the telephoto gun- camera devised by Prof. Langley for pry- ing Into the secrets of bird flight, down to & model of a modern flying machine. The | gun-cameras are most ingenlous arrange- ments. They were constructed in Paris. Two observers stood at different angles and almed thelr guns at the bird whose photograph they desired. The first one that ®ot a favored view of the bird, pulled the trigger, and an electrical connection ex- posed the plate In both cameras. Thus at the exact Instant two photographs at dif- ferent angles were taken of the same bird The average man is. deeply Interceted in the magniticent collection of more than 200000 birds possessed by the museum. Sclentists declare that there are 13,000 known specles of birds in the world, of which 0,000 kinds are perching birds. They vary in size from the tiniest nectar-sipping humming bird to the great condor and the huge ostrich. The National museum ex- hibits are arranged In a charmingly inter- | esting way. One may follow the various specles through all their shades of change, and may see wany of them mounted as they live In their native haunts, Every land has contributed to the collection ana it still is growing at a rapid rate. The children's room with its chimney sweep and humming birds' nests, its bull-bats, its tish, Its glass snakes and other things is calculated to awaken the slumbering naturalist in the ehild. The division of Insects is one of the most interesting In the museum. More than 300,000 species have been described by sclentists and this by no means exhausts #ire-list. It is estmated hy some that the world contains a milllon aifferent kinds. The museum has one of the finest collec- tions to be found anywhere. Its butter- flles are especlally numerous and notable, and was increased in size by the gift of the Willlam Bchaus collection now being Installed. This gift represents 200,000 butterflies and is the life labor of the donor. Sclence has described 13,000 species of butterflies, of which 1,200 live in North America. They range in size from the great morphecipris, as big as a hand, to the tiny Mttie fellows as small as a baby's finger nall. The Hercules beefle has the reputation of being the original sawyer. He is about the size of a large fist and ha# very stout raandibles. It is said that he grasps a twlg with them and then flies around and around umtil he saws it off, The Goliath beetlo and the Bombardler bug are there. The letter is one of the most pecullar of all beetles. When disturbed it fires a littie wad of blue smoke ffom its abdomen with & sharp report. There are a thousand interesting and scientifically valuable things In the Na- tional :nuseum which cannot even be re- ferred to here. With specimens coming i at the rate of 20,000 a year, it is certain that it will become one of the most truly national (nstitutions g the country, valuable for the service it will render Americans at large as an exhibition of the many wonders of nature, as well as being a reflection of the splend!d story of world progress, t D ke Viale Gron interesting collections, | [cmc A and | | to be consldered any charges prior to last | THE BEF D MARTIN TESTIFY ‘City Engineer and Cowduroy's Ac- cuser Before Grand Jury. |FORMER ASKS FOR FULL AIRING | ":-pnn-.

A second fight over the $400,000 estate of Joseph E. Connor is on in court, this time on appeal from county court where Judge Leslie upheld the respondents who are the natural heirs and ruled against the trus- tees named for the system of parochial | schools, which Connor at one time at least wished to establish. The proponents are Bishop Scannell and President Magevney of Crelghton.unjver- sity. They were named by Mr. Connor in the will he drew up, the original of which is not in evidence. A copy of this was offered at the first hearing and will be gain. The disappearance of the original is"the hottest contention of the case, it belng openly as- serted by attorneys for the trustees that it was destroyed by some one other than Mr. Connor. The lawyers for the heirs maintain that Conhor was in the habit of making and destroying wills and did this also in the given case. Selecting the jury may take as long as in a first degree murder trial. C. J. Smyth occupied all of Monday morning in quizzing veniremen, The case will have the same witnesses as before, including Mrs. Mary Lamb of Chicago, Mr. Connor's sister, Mrs. Ellen O'Connor and Miss Grace Connor. The last two were at the opening sesslon, which attracted a large number of spec- tators. The hearing Is before Judge Redick.

Dr. Jenks was preaching on “Christ and the Newspaper.”” He inmented on the es- say in Alexander Whyte's book, “Christ and His Disciples and the Newspaper.” Dr. Jenks viewed the newspaper as the mirror of life. He sald it was subserving & purpose no other agency could and was doing a tremendous amount of good in the world. Its complex system of gathering and publishing the events of news from all over the world every day, while they were yet fresh with the life of their happening, he held up to his people as a wonderful achievement in the economy of modern | civilization. In this way the newspaper drew closer together varlous parts and peoples of the world and became a Christ- lanizing influence. ““How Christ would have read the news- papers and how we shoula read them,” was elaborated. “Christ kept account of daily events and he certainly would have avalled himself of the dally papers had he had the op- portunity,” sald Dr. Jenks. “Nor can Christ's followers afford to lgnore the news of current events. - “The newspaper heralds news of every kind and character and is cosmopolitan in its service and should be read as such.” He took up various deparvnenis of news, For instance it reports the births, deaths and marriages of people, in this way ac- tually keeping a record of life as no other agency do ‘GRAND JURY OF TWO MINDS Decides to Tell Reporters About Sat- day Night Trip, Then Dete: mines to Keep Suill, The grand jury notified reporters Monday morning that it wished to make a state- ment to them at noon regarding a com- mittee of the body which Saturday night investigated pool halls.
