WILL WINTER IN NEW YORK.
Mrs. Potter Palmer Planning to Give
Notable Series of Social
Entertainments.

Letters received in New York city
from Mrs. Potter Palmer, whose So
cial success in Paris has been graft
flying to friends, announced that she
will make her home in New York city
next winter and will give series of
social entertainments which promise
to be the most notable she has ever
attempted. Mrs. Palmer writes she
has leased Beaulieu, w. w. Astor's
villa at Newport, where she passed
the summer two years ago. She is al
ready planning for a series of big
summer entertainments.
Mrs. Palmer is negotiating for a
winter house in Fifth avenue. She
wants one already furnished, as she
does not care to bring any furniture
from Chicago.
While Charles T. Yerkes was in
Paris she tried to obtain his house
but Mr.. Yerkes was not ready to give
her an answer until he returned to
New York. Mrs. Palmer also tried to
rent the house which Howard Gould
has taken for the season.

WILD ANIMALS.
Elk Easy to Get il You Know How WolYe;
Are Very Hard.

Catching wild animals for the mar
kets is just like every other vocation;
it's easy when you know how" said
William Root, who for nearly so years
has had his headquarters at Laramie,
Wyo, and has shipped hundreds Of
wild animals to the parks and ZOOS Of
the world, to New York Sun" cor
respondent
Take the elk, for instance" he con-
tinued. The elk is a big, strong ami
nal, very feet of foot, and ordinarily
the capture Of one alive would be a
good deal like roping a streak of light
ning. But they are not captured as
you might go out and lasso a steer.
The capture of an elk is usually made
along in the early spring. AT this sea-
son, by reason of the scarcity Of food,
the animals are not nearly so strong
as when food can be found about any

Being we'll acquainted with the

HOWE SHUT OUT.
That Inventor Had Secured Place
in Hall of Fame.

According to Chancellor Henry NJ.
MacCracken, of ne New York univer-
sity, an error was made by the count
ing committee in the canvass of votes
sent in by the 100 Hall of Fame
electors by which SO votes were cred
tied to Elias Howe instead of AZ, The
mistake arose through counting II
chief justices as supporting him, when
the correct number was II. Failing,
therefore, to receive 81 votes, the
name of Elias Howe is not included
among those to be inscribed this year.
This reduces the roll of names to 20,
and leaves 81 vacan panels to be
filled two years hence. The official
count will be published in few
weeks in the look of the Hall OF
Fame.

LUXURY FOR POOR.
Socialists of Paris to Establish a
Magnificent Peoples Palace.
Their Purpose Is to show the Work.
ing Classes How the Rich Live
ana Make Them Dissatisfied
with Their Condition.

Some 90 socialists, al members of
the institute, widely known artists
and famous physicians, have taken
the initiative in establishing at Paris
peoples palace, which is to be a
copy upon a grander scale of similar
institutions in Brussels, Antwerp and
Berlin. Only socialists money will be
accepted to pay for building it, as it
is desired to escape any obligation to
the moneyed classes or the govern
ment.
One-third of the 100000 francs
($4O0,OO0) needed was contributed by
the laboring classes in five days. The
rest will be obtained by means of
concerts and lectures to be given in
every part of the city by distin-
guished socialist women.
This peoples palace will provide
parlors, library theater, Offices
for workers associations, cafe, a
roof garden, large conservatories, a
gymnasium and swimming baths.
Everything is to be sumptuous, be-
cause, to quote the prospectus, 1.-THE
laborers must become acquainted
with all the modern, comfortable lux
ury of the wealthy classes and grow
intolerably dissatisfied with the pres

cattle that have been enfeebled by eX-
Dosure or disease. Wolves are exceed
ingly fond of antelope meat, and run
ming down these fleet-footed little ami
mails is one of their favorite pastimes.
For some inexplicable reason an ante
lope when pursued always runs in a
circle, and wolves know this. So when
feast of antelope is desired three or
four wolves join in the chase. They
first find the antelope and then they
map out sections, just as you have Of

will pursue the antelope perhaps a
half mile, when he will drop out and
fresh one will take his place. This
is kept up all along the line, until the
antelope is overtaken and killed. The
wolves then fight among themselves
for the choice bits.
"The demand for wolves is by no

Germany Has u New Motor.


From Germany comes the design Of a
remarkable motor that turns heat

machine Is called a thermO. electric

modified to meet the peculiar eXigen-
cies OF the case. In action It Is essen.

posed Of two dlssimllar metals, such as
iron aud copper. Any complete circuit
made of two metals must necessarily
have two functions of the two In 1t.

two metals, the difference In tempera-

the motor machine the couples are
made OF iron and nickel, firmly brazed
together. They are arranged like the
windings Of the ordinary electric motor,
with one set Of functions brought con-
veniently to the surface, where gas Jets
play upon them. The other set are
cooled by a rapid circulation OF air
about them, engendered by the rotation
OF the machine. While the motor Is of
no practical value, 1t Is exceedingly

with which energy may be transformed
and retransfOrmed through the various
forms OF heat, electricity and motion.
