WOMEN MAKE POOR DETECTIVES
A Secret Service Man Says the Opposite
Sex Make Bad Spies.

A Secret Service Man Says the Opposite
Sex Make Bad Spies.
"Women are not good detectives" I"
said an experienced secret service man
on being asked his opinion. ''To begin
with, there are many places to which a
woman cannot go without exciting sus-
picion, and this defeats her object at
the outset, but beyond this woman is
untitled by nature for detective work.
''In the first place, she jumps at con-
clusion and acts on it in opposition to
all human probabilities, possibilities
and reason. AS rule, woman does
not reason. She looks ON thing as she
wants it to be or thinks it ought to be,
and will follow that theory. She is led
by prejudices, favors or sympathies, re-
gardless of facts.
LAS detective she is sometimes a
success in entrapping man, but her
work generally ends in blunder which
betrays her. She is persevering only
when moved by passion, She does not
look at a case dispassionately. She at
once decides that he or she is guilty or
innocent and works on that theory.
"a woman enjoys the mysterious, and
she is so elated at her position as detect
i've that she is unable to conceal her
identity or the secret Investigations of
a case.
Women are even failures in running
down criminals of their own sex. A
woman criminal will mislead a woman
detective by working Oh her vanity,
credulity or sympathy. and, worst of
all, if the detective be attractive and
the man criminal handsome-well,a a
man is better for detective work, and
besides a woman will sell out case,
and cheaply at that, relying upon her
sex to escape punishment if detected. "

THE MAGNETIC GIRL.
An Explanation of How Her Tricks May
Easily BE Duplicated.

An Explanation of How Her Tricks May
Easily BE Duplicated.
While in Chicago l saw the announce
ment of an electric girl who included
in her repeTtory new trick, or at least
one that l had not yet seen. A stick
about four feet long and as thick as a
broomstick was produced, and 1 and an
other gentleman were requested to hold
it in vertical position before us while
grasping it firmly in both hands The
girl, standing in front of and facing us,
placed the palm of her open hand against
the lower portion of the stick, resting
it ON the side nearest to US and farthest
from herself. After rubbing her hand
up and down for few moments in or
der ''to make better electric contact"
as we were informed, and after enjoin-
ing US to hold the stick perfectly verti-
cal, we We're told to press down on it as
hard as we could.
This we did until the veins seemed
to stand out on our foreheads; but, ex-
ert ourselves as hard as we could, we,
two strong men, were unable to press
down hard enough to make the stick
slip past the open palm of her hand.
Had the girl grasped the stick with her
two hands, l am sure she could not have
withstood my downward pressure alone.
would have borne her, stick and all,
to the floor But there she stood, with
but one open hand bearing against the
side of the stick, and both US could not
by our united efforts force the stick past
that wonderful hand. Surely there
seemed something uncanny about this.
But it is very simply explained.
The whole secret consists in insisting
upon the men holding the stick in a
vertical position. When the girl open
hand is first placed against the lower
portion of the stick, she moves it two
or three times up and down, pulling
gradually more and more against it, AS
this tends to pull the stick away from
the vertical, she insists that the men
keep it straight. Thus cautioned, they
will exert more and more effort until,
when she feels that the pressure against
her hand is sufficient, she instructs them
to push down with all their might.
They do so and imagine that they are
eXerting tremendous vertical thrust,
whereas their vertical effort is actually
very slight-insuffioient even to over
come the friction Of the stick against
her moist hand. The men are really ex-
erting a tremendous effort, but are de-
ceived as to its direction. With their
hands tightly grasping the upper end of
the stick thew are really TRYING tn fnrca
the other end of the stick against the
palm of her hand-N. W. Perry in

The Raireuth FeatIynI.

A European traveller thus describes tho Baireuth festival: I can hardly say how much we enjoyed it. It has always seem cd to me incongruous to listen to Wag ner's operas at the Metropolitan Opera House. with crowd of elegantly dressed chattering persons, who did not seem to understand or appreciate what they heard, on every side. At. Baircuth everything is subservient to tho great affair that is go- ing on. The opera begins at and con tinues until 0;30 or 10 o'clock. Tho first act lasts until 5:30; then follows an inter- mission of half hour. Tho second act holds from till 7:2O and is followed by a recess of three quarters of an hour, dur ing which you are expected to dine or sup, as you please. Then comes the final act which usually lasts until nearly l 0 o'clock The doors are closed at f, and no one is al lowed to come in or go out during tho singing. The house is darkened when the overture begins, and not sound is heard from tho immense audience, which seems spellbound.

Color at the Far North.

Frederick Wilbert Stokes, who was a member of tho first PeaFy relief expedition, in paper on Color at the Far North, " in The Century, says
 The intensity and brilliance of color inn press the beholder as something supernat- ural. Our sojourn was from the middle of July through August and q few days of September-a period when the polar attitudes arc teeming with animal, insect and plant life. Of this brief period only am qualified to speak, but from tho ac- counts given by those who have passed through the long, dreaded night season tho phenomena occurring in the heavens arc most beautiful. Tho chief pcculiarity of color at the north, so far as my shor, experience tells me, is that there arc nc semitones, tho general effect being very black or just tho opposite, intensely bril- liant and rich in color. In fact, Q sum. mer's midnight at the north has all the brilliancc of our brightest noon, with the added intensity and richness of our most vivid sunsets while noon, when tho sun is obscured by threatening masses of storm clouds, is black Indeed it is tho trGe land of "impressionism.
