Lord Northcliffe, the great English
newspaper proprietor, was so im-
pressed by the attractiveness of the
gray squirrels in American parks that
he took home a number of pairs to be
liberated in England. If he is per-
mitted to land them it may still hap-
pen that in a country where they are
strangers, and where, therefore, their
natural enemies have not developed,
they may become as great a nuisance
as the English sparrow here and the
rabbit in Australia. Transplanting
animals is always somewhat risky.

Washington: |Iarch 1.—W. H. Taft
will take the oath of office as president
of the United States on the century-
old Bible which belongs to the su-
preme court of the United States and
by it kept it sacred custody. There
is a touch of sentiment in this decis-
ion which Mr. Taft announced Sunday
night, with the statement that had
he become a member of the supreme
court, his oath would have been taken
on identically the same book.
During the last few days there have
been many offers of Bibles to the
prospective president.
He has not declined to receive the
gifts, but his answer has been it would
be impossible for him to receive them
for the purposes intended. It has
been the custom of past presidents
to use a new or an historic Bible in
taking their oath of office, and each
has retained the book thereafter. Mr.
Taft will make no claim on the Bible
of his choice, and it will go back to
the archives of the ancient court.
