Hotel Eiffel, where the shooting occurred.
Louise kellogg's husband is president of
the California Base Ball League. The

relations with McNabb. A number of let

mains at an even temperature all
day, and one iron is all that Is re-
quired. The cost of running an iron
Is about two cents per hour. The
electric iron may be attached to an
ordinary incandescent lamp socket by
removing the globe and screwlng the
iron wire in place. The oven may be
run for five cents an hour and the
broiler for the same figure. The oven
heat may be graduated by means OF a
switch. Pans and pots can be run at
about the same cost The fact that
the current is used only for the time
of cooking makes the cost somewhat
less than when coal Is used.
There are number OF kitchens In
practical use In New York and Brook
lyn, says New York paper, and the
most desirable results are obtained.
An Electrical Kitchen.
In the kitchens of these houses
the coal stove has no place; and the
gas-jet for lighting or heating is un-
known. All cooking and water-heat-
ing Is done by the electrical current,
which the cook switches on from the
wires in the kitchen wall as she re-
qulres it. Against the wall stands a
table, or rather a small bureau, fitted
with drawers and doors, and with a
top of solid, blue slate. This is the
stove, but it has no direct connection
with the heating or cooking. 1t
merely serves as table on which to
place the electrical cooking utensils,
which are all thus highly insulated.
To the left stands the boiler, in
which the water is kept at gentle
heat.

tom Of the pan in the illustration.
The pan with the electrical arrange
ment docs not differ from the ordl-
nary pan, except for the fact that 1t
is slightly heavier and has wire at
tached. BY connecting this wire
with the socket board and turning a
button, similar to that on the elec-
trio light, the pan is heated almost
as quickly as the explanation Is
made. The broiler, oven, coffee pot,
tea kettle and hot water tank are all
operated in the same manner.
The advantages of using electricity
are so great and so numerous that IL
would be impossible TO convey the
facts on paper. Suffice it to say that
there is none OF the disagreeable dust
or heat, no smoke nor danger OF fire.
In the ordinary stove the heat gen.

How a Rubber Forest Looks,

According 10 recent accounts OF the
reckless manner in which forests of
rubber trees are destroyed, india-rub-
ber will soon be much more scarce
and costly than it now Is, and when
that happens 1t is probable that some
body will invent substitute. At
present, however, it is interesting to
know what "A recent traveller says of
the india-rubber forests of Nicaragua.
"a forest of them may be detected
without the eyes Of an expert, for
they are scored and dying from the
wounds OF the machete, the big knife
used by the natives. The ordinary
specimen of Nicaragua is from fifty
to one hundred feet high, and about
two feet in diameter.
"The bark is white and the leaves
oval, with a slight inclination down
wards. The cuts are made about two
feetapart and usually extend from the
ground to the first branch, channels
being scored in the sides to lead the
juice into bag. The average yield
OF tree is from five to seven gallons
Of milky fluid.
"This is mixed with the juice OF
the 'wisth,' which hastens congela-
ton. After this operation the crude
rubber is baled up and shipped north
to be refined and further prepared
for commerce. Another tree, very
similar to the rubber tree, and often
mistaken for 1t, is the cow-tree.
This yields liquid very much like
milk in taste and appearance.

rent are less understood by the gen.
eral public than any other subject
connected with our mercantile and
domestic life. The current may be
likened to running water, and with
this idea oDc has the best illustra-
tion. If water be run through pipe
two inches in diameter, into small
er pipe, say one inch in diameter,
the result attained Is pressure in the
smaller pipe. Run electricity through
a wire one-Quarter inch In diameter,
and 1t gives no apparent result, but
turn this same current into a smaller
wire and the result is heat, as shown
in the ordinary incandescent lamp.
The small wire cannot handle the
current fast enough; therefore 1t gets
hot This is the fact that governs
electric cook 'ng. The reader may
say, "This is plain so far, but the
electric light globe has practically no
heat about it. The explanation is
this: The wire in the electric light
globe is in vacuum and Is on this
account surrounded to certain ex-
tent by non-conductor, hence the
heat radiation is very small.
If it were possible to surround a
red hot stove with glass case and
to pump all the air from the case,
the heat would not be felt to any
great degree. Imagine an ordinary
frying pan with veil of fine wire

Purpose OF the March.
J. S. Coxey's "army" of unemployed
was organized to march to Washington
and in person demand relief from
Congress. Mr.. Coxey associated with
him as assistant Carle Browne, Of
California. The work Of organization
was begun months ago. Lab r unions,
farmers alliances and similar or
ganizations were invited to Join intact.
All organizations were advised to pro-
cure wagon, Ii possible, to carry
.amp utensils. Appeals TO Populists
ind various societies throughout the
country were mailed at inte walls for
several months.
The itinerary OF the trip Is an inter-
esting one. 1t has been so arranged
that day meetings can be held in lead
ing cities where labor troubles are
abundant. It is from these centers Mr..
Coxey exrects to secure the greatest
number OF recruits. Arrangements, it
is said, were concluded for seven thou
sand acres OF land in Washington,
owned by Senator Stewart, OF Nevada,
upon which the army Is to camp. Ed
itor Redstone, of the National Tocsin.
Is the agent. When the army reaches
that city, Redstono will meet il with
the unemployed OF Washington and
vicinity and escort IL to the Capitol.
When these pilgrims have surrounded
the Capitol with hollow square, they
will separate into groups according to
heir Congressional districts, and will
call upon their Representatives to
come out. They will be letitioned to
feed the army during its stay.

An Oklahoma merchant carelessly
allowed few castor beans to get mixed

nothing of it at the time, and sold the
oat, to stable-keeper. Several OF the
horses TO which the grain was fed
sickened and died. Veterinary sur.

sued for damages and the careless
grain dealers were compelled, by order
OF the court, to pay $3.50.
