UP THE MUSKINGUM
Thu SOnOma Carried a Party, tie Guests Of
Mr.. John Mills.

The excursion party which was Civ
en- yesterday afternoon by Mr.. John
Mills was one of the most delightful
affairs with which the season has op-
ened.
The steamer Sonoma had been char
tered to carry the guests and a merry
party it was,all in accord with the cool
pleasant weather and the festal spirit
of the occasion. On the perfect after
noon the party journeyed a number OF
miles up the beautiful Muskingum,
with the splendid scenery of wooded
hill and verdant glen and rolling up
lands and freshly cultivated fields
spread out on either side, the eXcur-
sion on the placid waters of the river
revealed beauties which only this kind
of travelling could fully and harmon
iously portray.
An elegant course supper was served
on the boat and the evening spent in a
social diversion.
The Sonoma returned the excursion
lists when darkness had come on.

X-RAYS IN SLOT MACHINES.
Patent Apparatus of Novel Design to
Make Appearance on ChicngO
streets.

An automatic machine that for odd
ity is likely to prove popular is to
appear on the Chicago streets within
the next two or three weeks. The
American N-Ray company is prepar-
ing to put out several hundred X-ray
machines that will operate automat-
ically on depositing nickel in the
slot.
The other day an exhibition of the
new machine was given in the offices
of William r. Blaine, president of the
company, in the Continental National
Bank building, The apparatus is con-
structed somewhat after the fashion
of the familiar picture machines, eX-
cept a space is left behind the lenses
for the insertion of objects.
A block of wood several inches in
thickness was held before the ma
chine and objects on the further side
seen plainly. The light is steady and
clear and of unusual brilliance.
"The machine is built on principles
different entirely from Crooks static
machine" said Mr.. Blaine. "The au-
tomato machine will work under any
and all circumstances, and the light
will be clearer and better than that
produced by regular apparatus

FLOWERS IN FINGER BOWLS.
A Pretty Fancy That Lends AdOrn-
ment to the After Dinner
Service.

At a well-served dinner you now
sometimes find dainty flowers float
ing in your finger bowl. This manner
of decorating the bowl started in
Japan, says the Detroit Free Press.
The Japanese have a faculty for
designing novelties that are beautiful.
They are not satisfied with simply
placing flowers in finger bowls, but
have cunningly prepared bits of wood
which when placed in water expand
into oddly formed and queerly colored
flowers.
When the bowls are before the
guests the bits of wood are put in
them and the diners are entertained
by seeing them expand into buds and
blossoms. The chrysanthemum, the
japanese national flower, is the favor
tie.
Bits of lemon vcrbena and rose
geranium leaves, which, when pressed
between the fingers, are so sweet, are
peculiarly appropriate for the finger
bowl. Two or three violets, floating
in the bowl, are not only pretty, but
give forth delicate and delicious per-
fume.
Nearly everyone likes the odor of
lemons, and they remove stains from
dainty fingers, so it is not strange that
thin slices of the fruit should so often
be used in finger bowls.

THE TELOPTOSCOPE.
Wonderful Little Device That Sends
Pictures in Colors,
New york Inventor Succeeds in Pro-
ducing nm Instrument That VIII
Transmit over Ordinary Eicc-
tric Circuit Optical Image.

philip X. Stern. mechanical and
electrical engineer at 1870 Fulton street,
New York, said the other afternoon
that he has perfected and now has
patents pending for an apparatus for
the transmission of optical images in
colors. The device will be known as
the teloptoscope. THE principal upon
which the thing works is this" Mr..
Stern said: THE transmitter is fo-
cused upon the optical image to be
sent The luminous rays are trans
formed into electric currents and sent
to the receiving end over an ordinary
electric circuit. One additional wire is
necessary, however. for manipulating
the receiving apparatus. The electric
currents are again employed It the dis
tant end to vary the intensity of the
ray of light which is thrown on the re-
ceving instrument
"rhe variations of the beam of light
at the receiving station corresponds
to the light and shadow at the trans
mitting station. The picture so re-
ceived will be in one color, but by AN
arrangement of three colored screens
the apparatus will be made to repro
duce the proper tints.

CARRIES YOUNG IN POUCH.
Rat Resembling Kangaroo Found
in II Bunch of Bananas at
Denver.

While looking over bananas in one
of the rooms of his commission house
at 1924 Market street, Denver, the 9TH
er day, q. G. Liebhardt was startled to
see small animal about the size of
squirrel climbing rapidly up one of
the walls. He watched it until it Sc
cuded itself in a corner of the ceiling,
and then called Il conference of the
help of the house. The employees
we're all under the impression that it
might be dangerous tropical visitor,
SO were shy about approaching it. Mr..
Liebhardt, thinking he would give it
"run for its money" secured a ladder
and took the animal in tow by The tail.
This member measured about a foot.
The animal itself is scarcely more than
five inches long. it has a snout like
bear and bright, shiny brown fur. In
small pouch over it's stomach were
tucked about half dozen of its young
which were hardly bigger than tiny
Lizards. In some attitudes it has a
striking resemblance to miniature
kangaroo. When it is approached by
anyone it Kisses like snake.
A great many odd animals and rep
tiles are found in various banana
/ punches that come to the commission
house. The consignment which
brought the latest animal freak is
from Costa Rica. Several parties who
saw the "pranllish" little object say it
is member of the family of kangaroo

BLIND HUNTER OF FOXES.
SIghtIess MaryIandeF Who Was

William b. Biles, aged rs years, has
lust died at his home at Blue Ball, Cecil
county, Maryland. From childhood he
was blind. He was a man of clear un-

was familiar with the current affairs
of his country and state. He was an
enthusiastic fox hunter, and 20 years
ago was one of the best in the state,
possessing fine kennel of hounds.
lie could distinguish each hound by
feeling its ears. He could also tell the
color of horse by feeling. His saddle
horse was trained to follow mule
which he used on his farm, and some
one of his employees or boys would ride
the mule ahead of him on the hunts

Dress Plays an Important Part I'm
Determining IL WOman's Ply
steal Condition.

There used to be a silly notion that
a woman who spent much time or
money on her clothes was frivolous,
while man was supposed to be
quite beyond the necessity of doing
more than cover his nakedness. We.
are learning better, and, despite the
fact that you can point to hundred
and one poets and philosophers who
have done good work in old clothes,
it is true that the average person
will do better work if he is well, and
to degree fashionably, dressed And
to return to my first proposition,
says Frederika Miller, in Woman's
Home Companion, the i'll woman will
help herself nightly if she remem-
bers how big part dress plays in de-
termining her physical and mental
condition. If you have a headache
and are suffering from nerves, even
ii you have a more real pain, such as
neuralgia or the toothache, and are
able to be about at all, don't go
around the house in your oldest
wrapper, with your hair down. Rath-
er put on bright frock and brush
your hair, as if you were expecting
company; and this bright outside,
combined with the effort to look
cheerful, will go far toward helping
you out of your pit of darkness;
and, though it won't cure pain, you
will be surprised to find how many
pains and little illnesses it will light

Washington, d. c., May 3O.-4In his

United States has within itself the ele-
ments necessary to control the SOAP
trade of the world-a trade in which
Marseilles has been supreme for many
years. Experience proved that the
best soap is the product of either cocoa
nut and cotton or peanut oil, in about

We are now exporting cotton seed to
the European soap trade and at Mar
seilles the cocoanut crushing industry
is at present centralized. Over L.
250,600 pounds OF dried cocoanut ker-
nails were received here from foreign
countries during che first half of 1900,
most Of which was from the Philip
pines. There is no apparant reason
why American capitalists cannot crush
these nuts in the Philippines and ship
the oil to the United States. thus af-
fecting a great saving freight and en-
abling our manufacturers. who already
have cotton oil at their command. to
dominate the business
In regard to the development of our
merchant marines, the Consul says:
with a population of ten million in
the Philippines, we might turn them to
assist lis in this matter. These little
