NEW KIND OF GUESTROOM.
The Latest Convenience In the Mod
ern Apartment House.

| ern apartment mouse.
Progress in the arts Of living more
and more tends to strip the ecOnOm-
ically inclined of every excuse for saw
ing expense. This Is one way of put
ting it. The case may also be stated;
Progress Is ever increasing the joys of
! life and now offers opportunities for
| the pleasure of playing the host which
were unheard of only a short time
ago, the more gracious view Of the
case and the better suited to this genial
season. The concrete example Is that
of an apartment house on Morningside
park, where the agent has recognized
the existence OF one convenience, or
inconvenience, of fat life and with
malicious or commendable ingenuity
has obviated II.
Dwellers In flats have hitherto been
in a position to write to their friends
in the country, 1--WE should so much
like to have you up here with us for q
week or two or even for one night, but
these New York flats are so crowded
that l am afraid you would have to
sleep on the dining table" Others
again, on whom the claims of hospital
ity are more imperative, feel obliged
to rent seven rooms all the year round,
where three or four would be enough
for the little family, just because GER
tain uncles, cousins or aunts come to
town now and then and must be lodg-
ed. All this Is changed by the new ar
Yangement. You may rent your little
apartment of four rooms for 364 days
and nights In the year, furnishing 1t
yourself, and on the three hundred and
sixty-fifth you may have furnished
room ready In the same building to en-
terrain an important and promising I'M
Gle or aunt, or you may Hospitality ell
treat your country visitor by the same
means for weeks at time. All you
nave to do Is to engage the furnished
guestroom, with bathroom and all APP
purtenances complete, for the required
date and period.
The conveniences resulting from this
resource OF civilization are too nu-
merous for recital In brief notice Of
the subject. They cut both ways, as 1t
We're when one considers them care
fully. If the crowded fiat" excuse is
rendered unserviceable, there remains,
on the other hand, the facility for elm
mating any unwelcome guest after the
briefest possible stay consistently
with a show Of the most ELUSIVE dis
position to hospitality. 1--WE are dread
fully sorry not to be able to entertain
you for more than two nights. 1t Is too
bad, but the guestrooms are all en-.
gagged except No 4, and that Is taken
after the 10th" This would make an
unanswerable argument for the expul-
sion Of an uncle, especially II backed
by venal janltor OF course no guest
or uncle worthy Of the name would de-
scend to the basement, or baseness. Of
making surreptitious Inquiries about
the engagements Of the guestrooms.
A large number OF mother-ln-law
jokes are suggested hero, but are left

reader who may feel inclined to think
them out.-New York Tribune

Jupiter Warmer Than the Earth.

The gigantic mass Of Jupiter has o
much larger warmth than that of the
earth. II Is the result OF the molecular
movement produced by the compress
sion Of the strata and must be greater
the more powerful the masses, and
hence the larger the pressure Of the
strata Is. Jupiter surpasses the earth
In point Of mass 307 times. and for this
reason the inner temperature or indi-
vldual warmth OF the planet Is proha-
bly, high enough to evapOrate the wafer
upon the surface quickly. 30 that water
vapCr forms the principal substance Of
the atmosphere of Jupiter. Water va
por Is an excellent reflector and readily
accounts for the bright radiation Of
light emitted by the planet.-Professor

RULED WITH A ROD.
But the Rod Must BE Iron, With a
RedhOt Tip.

"When all other methods Of control
ling wild beasts fail the keeper has only
to employ an iron rod, which has been
made redhot at one end" said an old
circus man to Star reporter recently.
Lions and tigers" he continued, will
cringe before the heated poker, and no
matter how restless and fretful they
may have been the sight of the glow
ing iron Immediately brings them to
their best of animal senses. 1t has an
almost hypnotic influence over the
beasts. | have seldom heard of an
animal being burned in this manner,
however, so there Is nothing cruel In
the treatment. 1t would not do for the
keeper to burn the charges under his
care, for the scars would mar the
animal for exhibition purposes. The
hot iron Is a terror, just the same.
and under its persuasion the kings Of
the jungle are docile and ready to do
what is wanted Of them.
"In circus menageries the animals
often become almost unmanageable.
This is true of the younger specimens,
who do not like the idea Of being so
closely housed, so much hauled about
and so often cut off from the light Of
the outside world. When 1t becomes
necessary to give their cages a thor
ough and sanitary cleaning. one attend
ant holds the beast In a corner by
means Of the redhot iron. while an
other thoroughly cleansos the remain
ing portion Of the cage. the work being
accomplished by brooms and mops
from the outside. In changing the
wilder animals from the cages en-
ployed on the road to the larger and
more commodiOus quarters at the win
ter station. what we call strong box
Is used The wagon Is hauled along
side the large cage and the steel strong
box, open at both ends, Is constituted a
passageway. The animal hesltates to
make the journey through such a sus-
picious looking object, however. and
again the heated iron must be brought
into play."-Washingt Star.

THE KING OF HANOCUFFS.
How Harry Houdini. American, Sur
prised the British.

When Harry Houdini. the American
king of handouts. arrived In England,
he tried to arrange for an exhibit or
his skill at Scotland Yard, but the
authorities refused to allow him an
opportunity of putting on or taking of
official handouts, says London Nj. A.
p. So. accompanied by a skeptical
London manager. he paid an ordinary
call as an American visitor to the
police headquarters. Mr. Houdini,
after making the usual remarks on
everything he saw and heard, casually
asked a question about pair Of hand
cuffs. The guide took them down and
answered.:
ooh. these are handouts impossible
to remove"
Houdini was greatly interested. and
the incident closed by the American
visitor requesting his guide to lock the
handouts on his wrists. Then he
turned his back and succeeded In get
ting them off In a couple Of minutes.
One Of Houdlni's strangest adven-
lures happened at a big hotel In St
Paul, Mimi, where he was very well
known. To his surprise, he found that
a couple Of men occupying the rooms
on either side Of his own appeared TO
be mounting guard over him. At first
he only suspected this. but after few
days he was perfectly sure that one
or the other Of his neighbors Swallowed
his every movement. One afternoon.
when Houdinl was sitting In his own
room, he heard the sound Of scuffling
outside the door. Flingng II open, he
discovered his two unknown friends
grasping a third man, who had evil
IDENTIFY been wearing long dark cape
that was dragged on one side, showing
that he was heavily handcuffed.
Were a couple Of detectives. Mr..
Houdini," painted one of the men.
This fellow made his escape from Jail
some days ago. We knew that be
wouldn't dare to go to lOcksmlth to
get his handouts removed, and we
suspected that he might come to you"

Would not his grace like TO know the
name OF the picture7 But his grace
showed no interest in that. He did not
care what was the name OF the picture;
he was content to admire It. Still the
obsequlous official hunted the picture
Up In the catalogue and insisted upon
stating the name. 1t turned out. as the
story runs. to be one Of the Duke OF

SOME MEN GROW ON TREES.
This Is the Belief of nm Indian nnd
Some AtheF Tribes.

The Sioux Indians still share with
the old Aryan and Semitic tribes In the
belief that there are trees that bring
forth human beings and others thai
bear various portions Of the human
body, and IN the fourteenth century
an Italian traveller, on arriving at Nal
abar, was told by the natives that the
country abounded with n tree that
bore men and women. The latter were
attached to the limbs by the neither cx-
tremtles and were full formed when
the wind blew, but when the wind died
out they soon wIthered. These speci'
mems OF humanity reached the length
or height OF three feet.
In the first book Of the Mahadharata
mention Is made Of forms OF dwarfs
that were to be found on large iig
tree. The Arabs are still strong In the
belief that somewhere In the southern
ocean there Is tree that bears nut
that resembles the face OF man and
when In It's fullness the mouth opens
and gives voice to the cry: WAX!
Wakw The Chinese reverse the order
of things and, instead Of believing that
the trees give birth to men, claim that
In the beginning the herbs and grass
sprang from the hair Of the human

borders Of the beautiful Flowery
Kingdom there Is n wonderful lake by
whose margin grew trees whose leaves
developed into birds and also that, II

the most brilliant plumage will at once
arise from the pieces and fly off.
In central India there is n tribe call
ed Khattics that claim to have their
origin from stick OF wood. When

whose exploits are told in the Mahad-
harata. had become simple tenders OF
