Paul Alexander tombstone, the celebrated
%"thought'' reader, who will be seen at En-
glish's Opera House next Thursday night
only, has performed what is supposed to
be the most delicate test in thought trans
ference that has ever been accomplished.
The extraordinary feat took place in Co.
penhagen, the capital of Denmark. Last
June a large, air-tight glass cage, with
two copper wires passing through one of
the sides, was blown. Within the glass
cage was a glass shelving, on which were
placed a number of chemical compounds,
including several explosives. At the end
of the copper wires and in the cage stood
tombstone, blindfolded, while at the other
end of the wires, eighty feet away, stood
the scientists. Professor Woller focused a
his left hand. The scale, said to be the
most delicate ever made, was resting near
the ingredients On the glass shelving. The
test consisted in tombstone accurately Sc
lecting and weighing the chemicals thought
of by the scientists. Professor Woller men,
through the telescope. Being blfndfolded,
tombstone started to work, and within an
incredibly short time selected the COM
pounds, avoiding the explosives, and accu-
rately weighed each ingredient separately.
1t was found that Mr. tombstone had

WALES EYE.
The Prince Ran Against an Angry Dukes
Fist.

Although | am diSinclined to give full
credit TO the stories according TO which
the very pronounced black eye of the
prince of Wales Is due to hand-to-hand
conflict with the duke of Portland, who
is stated to have been quick to resent a
slight TO which the duchess is alleged to
have been subjected by the heir-ap-
parent, yet the fact remains that the
prince and the duke have never been on
very good terms.
Alone of the younger generation OF
peers he has refused 10 accept the adj
vice and To follow the lead of his future
king in matters connected with his per-
sonal behavior and social conduct.
The prince can neither forgive nor
forget the fact that had il not been for
the duke of Portland there would never
have been any baccarat scandal that
scandal which has done the prince so
incredible an amount of harm. 1t was
the dukes refusal to receive Lady
Brooke as "A member of the party whom
the prince wished to be invited to meet
him at Nelbeck abbey that led his royal
highness To decline at the last minute the
hospitality of the duke and duchess and
to 90 to Tranby Croft instead, where no
objections were made to the presence of
Lady Brooke, says a London correspon-
dent.
1t may be remembered that. after all,
Lady Brooke was prevented from be-
coming member of the princes party
by the sudden death of her stepfather,
the earl of Rosslyn, SO that the prince
really had all his squabble with the duke
of Portland for nothing.
All the same had not the duke refused
to comply with the princes request to
invite Lady Brooke identically in the
same way that Count Festetics subse-
quently declined to accede to the
princes demand for an invitation for
Baron IIirsch to Kesthely-the prince
would never have gone to Tranby Croft,
there would have been no baccarat
/ scandal, and Sir William Gordon Cum

THEY DON'T WANT HEf
The Emancipated Young Woman Ont OF
Her sphere in summer Hotels.

They don't like the emancipated
young woman ut the summer resorts

bosom, straight-tip russell shoes, and
cut-away suit are dcspised not a soul
on the premises will listen To her views
The clerk is polite, but he prefers that
she would take her solitary supremacy
to the next station. Luggage and an
introduction will admit her a. a guest
when business is bad; but as soon as
the sea laughs and the shore smiles the
head walters will toe nasty to her, and
her own sex will backbte her.
The summer Girl is all right. So is
the diamond-decked visitor with china
cheeks and rickety grammar. One has
her pa To look after her; the other has
brother or husband TO tell whom it
may concern that she is a perfect lady.
But the emancipated woman is in The

whats the matter with the all-alone
w0mau?' an enterprising summer hotel
man was asked.
"Oh. shes all right but we don't care
for her in our business. Emancipated
women are too good There isnt any
money in them. They don't tip the
servants; they don't take wine or even
mineral water at their meals; they don I
sit up nights and burn the gas; they
don't play billiards or order late sup
pers, and there is actually no way we
can get extras on their bill. Now. ey-
erybody knows that it costs 50 a day to
feed one; room rent is - day. That
is cost price. Profit has TO come out of
the extras, and, as the all-aione woman
has no bad habit, that is the chief rea-
son why her patronage Is not desirable.
The other reason? Well, she isn't
pretty. There IS the plain, bold bald
truth of it. When theatrical man
ager sends box to friend he expects
that his guests will ornament it. They
are under obligation TO wear evenin q
dress and make the box attractive.
Hotel men feel the same way. We

a lot was the shoe clerks empha-
tic answer. Il don't suppose black
socks really cause cornS. but do know
that they are great corn aggravaters.
I've been in the shoe business a long
while, and | noticed years ago that
nineteen ont of twenty customers who
wore black stockings asked for shoes
that would be easy on corns. | have
asked "A great many about it. and their
testimony and my own experience prove
that black hose and coIus are very close

I've never settled to my satisfaction

black socks retain the heat more than
other color> do. and think they also
hold moisture longer. You know a
black suit of clothes Is warmer than a
light coiored suit, and its the same with
hose.
Giving up black socks won't cure
your corns but ii you'll take my advice
and wear some other color I'm sure the
next time you come you'll tell me your
corns have been much less troublesome
and your feet much more comfortable
If you don't you'll be the first of hum
