The protest Of Henry b. Fuller, the
author, against inart!stic Chicago, was
taken up recently by the civic commit,

Clubs at the Palmer House. The dozen
women present resolved to take tmme-

distgure the city with Objectionable

crusade mildly. Each member Of the
committee has been requested to write
to prominent advertisers who proclaim
the excellence OF their wares on un-
gainly sixnboards and to ask them TO
remove the Objectionable signs. They
will explain to these men that their
business will be benefited more by the
removal Of the disdguriug signs than
by extensive advertising In this man.

ROMAN AQUEDUcTs.
They Were Quilt because There Were
No Suitable Pipes to

People forgetful Of the real status #
mechanical economy in the time of the
Romans have often expressed wonder
that they built expensive aqueducts
when. it is proved. they knew the by.
drostatic principle that water rises al
ways to its own level.
The principal reason undoubtedly
was that they had no suitable material
to make pipes which would stand tho
enormous pressure insepal able from an
underground system. Lead was out of
the question for the purpose because the
pipes would have to be made so dispor-
portionately thick. End. besides. water
flowing for miles through lead wou. ID
be poisonous. Short lead and clay
pipes were used by them IN their cities
and houses for the supply of baths. but
without cast iron, which they did no,
possess. they could not have made
pipes to carry water long distances
Lastly. the water brought TO Zone was
strongly impregnated wi,h l:me. and
this would have caused a great incrusta-
ton in pipes and neces si:ared frequent
openings and cleaning whereas an
aqueduct. once built. would. us events
have proved. last for a very long time

MEN GET SHORTER.
1t 1S snid This Happens When They
Climb to the Top Of High
Mountains,

One of the most remarkable facts
Known TO all our mountain climbers is
that the height Of man is diminis he'd
10 an eXtraoI binary degree by the time
he has reached the summit of a con-
siderable mountain.
So much is this the case that n six
'rot man is actually diminished in
height by a full inch by the time he
caches any of the best known of the
treat Alpine SUBMITS. though the
usual diminution. produced in very few
hours. is ihree-quarters Of an inch.
lhe extent Of this diminishing of
height has caused much discussion for
ONE time. but doctors generally Mt
tribute il 10 the peculiar position most
IS maintained in climbing. One note
worthy feature is that the more heavily
laden the climber may be the greater is
the diminution.
Although the height Of all men grows
less TO the extent OF three-duarters of
an inch. the dininution varies greatly
IN individuals Of The same normal
height beyond that extent. and the or.
NAL height is not resumed for some
hours after the climb.

 MT. and Mrs. Henry c. Eberth, and FL mer H. Parmelee, son of MT. and Mrs. l Charles F. Parmelee, and who is con- nected with the New Haven department of the Metropolitan Life Insurance com pany, were married at the residence of | the brides parents, on Greenwich ave- nue, yesterday evening at o'clock. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. F. Kastendieck pastor of the How ard avenue M E. church. Only the relatives of both families and several intimate friends were present. Miss Mabel E. Lane was maid of honor, and Victor A. Kowalewski, Yale '99 was best man. The home was prettily dec orated with smilax and potted plants. After the ceremony wedding supper was served. Among the numerous presents were a beautiful copy of the Madonna, framed, gift of the church choir, of which the bride is the leading soprano and a handsome mahogany able from the officers and teachers of the Sunday school of which the groom is superintendent.
 The wedding is of special interest to many residing in this part of the city as both bride and groom have a wide circle of friends, and are prominently connected with the doings of the How ard avenue Methodist church. The bride and groom have gone on brief wedding tour and will be at home to their friends on Thursdays after Jan uary i.
