meeting by champagne lunch given at
the Bisley camp by Mr.. Winans, an

tons to the lunch. Barker invited two
women, and to this fact was due the
trouble Matters proceeded satisfactorily
for time at the lunch. Things became
lively and finally eliminated in scan

the result that Barker was officially ex-

WONDERS OF ELECTRICAL

Electrical Appliances For Cook
ing and Cloth-Cutting-H Matching
Chickens in Electric Incubators-
Submarine Telegraphy.
After person has examined the exhibits
OF the Electricity Building. he might well bid
adieu to sensation OF establishment, writes a
Chicago correspon lent OF the New York
Post He is in a mental attitude which ac-
cepts all things as possible. When he has
seen real thunderbolts made and launched
facsimile letters and drawings transmitted
by electricity, even chickens Matched and
roasted by electricity, credulity is likely to
be his chief characteristic. and nothing after
wards can seem very surprising
In the west gallery the Gray National Tel
autograph Company make an exhibit OF the
last and one might almost say. greatest cleo
trical marvel. Professor Elisha Gray has
been known to the world many years for his
improvements in telegraphy, but his latest
invention, the telautograph or long-distance
writing machine, quite eclipses his previous
efforts. More or less has been heard of this
device in the last few years, but il has only
recently been perfected for commercial uses.
II consists Of two instruments. a transmitter
and receiver, each provided with a roll OF
paper OF convenient size for writing. Both
together are about half the size Of n type
writer. In writing at the transmitter, an or
binary pencil is used, near the point OF which
two small cords are fastened at right angles
20 each other. These connect with the in
strument, and, following the movements
of the pencil, regulate tho current impulses
which guide the receiving-pen at the distant
station. The paper is shifted forward by
little lever, giving an electric impulse
which moves in like manner the
paper in the receiver at the other
end OF the line. The receiving pen is a capil-
larry glass tube supplied with ink and placed
at the junction OF two aluminium arms. The
electrical impulses conducted over the wires
move the pen OF the receiver simultaneously
and in the same directions as the pencil ofthe
sender, and an ink tracing is left which is an
exact reproduction in every dot and flourish
OF the original writing or drawing. The ex-
hibit is arranged like a central station, an

tapped or the message overheard, no opera

with equal ease. AS one sits writing at one

oyERwoRKED WOMEN OF FASHION


High-pressure society women may
listen to the word of warning uttered
by London periodical:
"Half the ills that woman is heir to
come, so say doctors, from the fright
fully high pressure at which they live
nowadays. Sick headache, or migraine,
rs they call it abroad, is a universal
complaint, and arises chiefly from
oyerstrain. Nervous irritability, in
somnia, and hysteria are all on the in
crease in the upper classes. There IS
n mania to see and be seen; to learn
everything, from political economy to
clear-starching. In short, women OF
the upper classes do too much. Per-
haps they cannot help themselves, ow-
ing to the exigencies of society. Look
Mt the women whom one meets, who
have been doing the season. Are they
not pale, worn, anxious, highly strung?
According toa great medical authority
if only London women would once in
every ten days take whole days COM
plete rest in bed, they would retain
their health, spirit and energies much
longer than they do. OF course, this
advice is only meant for really hard
working women Of fashion who are
obliged to keep late hours.
