War Through Kinetoscope

Photographic views of actual war
scenes are of great value to the kineto-
scope people and strenuous efforts are
made TO secure them. Artists run great
risks in their quest A number of
bona fide battle pictures We're secured
by one daring operator during the San
tiago campaign, but just as he was
leaving the field he was shot through
the shoulder. When the soldiers car
ried him off he intrusted his precious
packet of films to a Cuban boy. with
instructions to mail them at Siboney.
The boy ran into some heavy firing on
the way back and took refuge with
four natives In an old sugar shed. At
the next moment the Spaniards drop
ped shell through the roof and blew
the shed, boy, films and natives into
thousand fragments. The pictures
were absolutely unique and would have
created sensation.-San Francisco Ar

things that hurt others. On the other
hand, Gen. Henderson. the new Speak
er. is probably the finest type of the
traditional Hail fellow, we'll met" that
has ever been seen in public life.
Boundless good nature, fondness for
the society of his fellow men of high
and low degree, limitless tact, the live
liest sympathles and IA fine, healthy
manliness are some of the attributes
that have Won him the affectionate re-
gard of all his colleagues on both sides
of the chamber No one ever thinks of
finding fault with him, though things
which he has done would bring upon
others the seyerest criticism.
The qualities which have given Hen
derson his popularity can. hardly be
said to be those most useful to the
wielder of the Speakers gayel in the
lower house of Congress, and yet some
of them are essential to the success of
great presiding officer. Henderson,
writes a Washington correspondent,
has never been regarded either as a
notable parlamentarian or as a debater
of unusual powers. Though Henderson
is not versatile debater, he is master
of a style of oratory that has fairly
taken the breath away from scores of
Inexperienced opponents. His strong
card is patriotism and loyalty to the old
soldier. Amos Cummings tells a story
at Henderson's expense, apropos of his
readiness to serve soldier. The new
Speaker fought all through the war,
working his way up from the ranks to
be first lieutenant of his company, serv-
ing until discharged, owing to the loss
of his leg, and after years rest re-
entered the army as colonel of volun-
teers and served until finally mustered
out. An old fellow townsman who hapa
pened to be in Washington, and who
wanted to see Henderson very much
while the latter was engaged in an I'M
portant committee conference declined
to send his name In, but told the door
keeper to say "a one-armed soldier
wanted to see Dave Henderson" In
an instant the Iowa man appeared in
the doorway. and after hearty laugh

No man in Congress takes better care
of his constituents than Henderson. and
he takes pride in the assertion that he
never permits letter to gounanswered,
no matter who his correspondent may
be. He usually reaches the capitol at
10 o'clock. and he spends three or four
hours each day debating letters to his
constituents and to the constituents of
many of his colleagues, for his great
popularity In Congress is we'll known,

Can Ants Heart

Naturalists have generally accepted
the opinion that ants are not able to
perceive any sounds that are audible to
human ears. Professor Weld Of the
Iowa State university controverts this
opinion. He describes in Science care
full experiments made by him with four
species Of American ants, from which
he deduces the conclusion that these
species at least are able to perceive
sound, but whether they do it by means
Of organs of hearing or through the
sense Of touch being excited by atmos-
pheric vibrations he is unable to say
with certainty. He inclines to the opin-
ion that they do really hear, as some
individuals showed a perception of the
direction of the sound, such as that of
a shrill whistle, and others, which were
not disturbed when violently shaken in
their glass prisons, seemed to be "driv-
en- nearly frantic by shrill sounds"

A Kind Father.

Thackeray's daughter Annie had
wonderful faith as tiny tot. Her
dolls were to her things of flesh and
blood real live babies. There was
just this difference: She believed if
dolly lost a head or an arm the missing
member would grow again, and her
good father backed her up right 10y
ally.
He had one cure for every wounded
or ailing doll. 1t would, he said, be all
right after 1t had seen the doctor. So
then and there would he put on his hat
and coat and set out for the doctor.
AS soon as he had turned the street
corner, however. he made for the near
est toyshop, where the patient was
mended. Then he went home and, with
a twinkle of triumph in his kindly eye,
restored the doll, quite cured, to his
joyful wee lassie.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Fashions In Household Linens-Ad-
Unstable Plate Litter - Oys-
ters In Dishes of Ice.

There are fashions in household lin
ems as well as in gowns, yet the most
elegant women are apt to make their
selections from staple products which
are always In favor. For example, the
ball and snowdrop patterns in table
linen are deemed standard by all house.
wives. Plain linens are also much in
vogue. Many of the handsomest plain
cloths have cipher or monogram en-
broidered in two corners of the cloth.
There are as well number of new de-
signs, the chrysanthemum being IA
vorite pattern. Napkins come with
each cloth, both with hemstitched and
plain hens. Napkins should be mark
ed with the embroidered initials about
three inches from the corner. Table
cloths inserted with lace are no longer
fashionable. White centerpieces have
almost entirely replaced colored de-
signs. Lace designs are, however, seen
in the centerpleces and doilies used on
the bare tables for luncheons. There
is q tendency to introduce very elabo-
rate bed linen. Both sheets and pill
lowslips are hemstitched and inserted
with bands an inch wide, or even wild
er, of lace. Both pillowcases and sheets
are embroidered with the initial or
even the crest Of the owner. Even lace
trimmed sheets are used. Nothing is
daintler or more attractive than pure
white bed. inexpensive bedspreads
can be made very attractive by trim
ming the sides with ineXDenSiye heavy
cotton lace, the spread serving as well
when fashioned in this manner as
valance.

Here is a suggestion for the classiti-
cation of automobiles in races which
should go long way toward solving
this problem, which has been hard
one from the beginning of automobile
racing. The formula comes from a
foreign source and Is as follows: "QD
All vehicles that start must produce
certificates of the power of their mo-
tors, extending back no further than
three months from date, such certifi-
cate to be delivered by school of ad-
vanced technical studies or by rec
ogniZed corps Of state engineers; C9
the motor must carry an official seal of
such certificate arranged in conspicu-
Gus manner; (3) before the start the
gross weight of the vehicles as well as
that of the persons who are to ride in
them shall be ascertained; (g from
the gross weight of each carriage and
the power of the motor from an es-
tablished formula will be decided the
speed per hour that the machine can
make theoretically; (5) the signal for
starting the carriage having been Civ
en- the one that will be classed as first
will be that of which the real speed
most closely approaches the conditions
of the theoretical speed"
