witted, Miss Mabel Earle 10 one Of the
beauties OF RichAeld, but ia At present In
deep mourning and doesn't participate In
tho summer festivities.
I find at all the resorts that girls with
pretty feet and ankles are growing mole
reckless about displaying theso attractions.
I WAS amused at tho performances of a
young in tho park, the other nor
ing. She wore \ smart blue costume, with
red crepe bodice and little red suede shoes.
She asuntsred along, took a seat. and A.
she sat down gave a perceptible hitch to her
front hrsndths. Result. a vary attractive
and torrid exhibit. For = few moments abe
rested on these laursls; then. evidently
wishing to be fair with everybody, walked
TO another quarter of the park and repeated
her little speciality. 1t was worth seeing!

Money In Electrical Science,

Lucre has smiled on the explorers in
the field Of electrical science. No scion
tific body in the country has so many
millionaires as the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers. At the top Of
the list is Alexander Graham Bell,
whose profits on the telephone arc
represented by eight figures. Next
comes Edison with n seven figure for
tune. Brush, of electric light fame, and
Elihu Thompson, whose financial
future is perhaps brighter than any Of
the others just now, are more than
millionaircs. Frank J. Sprague was n
junior officer in the United States navy
six years ago. He is now living in the
mansion which was built for the Grants
His company sold out to the Edison
company for S1,000,0 900, and half of it
went to the inventor. Franls L..Popc, of
New York, and q score of others have
independent fortunes. Most Of these
men were telegraph operators, and
most OF them began their experiment.

wonderful IntellIcence of nlrds.


DIR. c. c. Abbott says that in expert
ment on the intelligence Of birds he
placed n number of pieces of wooden
yarn-red, yellow, green, purple and
gray in color-ncar n tree in which cou-
pie of Baltimore orioles were building
their nest. The pieces of yarn were all
exactly alike except in color. There
was an equal number Of threads of
each color, the red and yellow being
purposely placed on top. The birds
chose only the dullcr colors, taking all
of the gray and Il few threads of the pur-
pie when the nest was nearly done.
Not n single thread of the red or
bright yellow was touched, the birds
seeming to instinctively know that such
