ATTACKED BY PET CAT.
Mother of Mrs. Howard Gould Is Bit.
ten While She Is Cnressin.
Young Kitten.

Mrs. Dayan. wife of John w.
Dayan, one Of the officials Of the
Southern Pacific company, and the
mother of Mrs. Howard Gould, was
attacked by her pet cat and SO seri-
Gus are her injuries that DR.. Doss, her
physician, fears blood poisoning. The
attack was made on Mrs. Dayen in
her home on University avenue, Palo
Alto. Cal. The cats were in the base
ment of the house, and Mrs. Dayan
went there to satisfy herself that all
wes well with pussy and her kittens.
AS long as Mrs. Deynn confined her
caresses to the mother cat all was
well. The animal purred and turned
her face affectionately to her mis-
tress. But when Mrs. Dayan at
tempted to carry one of the kittens
lying close to the mother there was
trouble. The big cat sprang up and
before Mrs. Dayan could realize what
was happening the animal had sunk
her sharp front teeth into one of
Mrs. Dayan's fingers. The teeth
passed through the nail and almost
severed the top of the finger. Again
the cat scratched and bit her hand
before Mrs. Dayan flew upstairs
The shock of the encounter made
Mrs. Dayan exceedingly nervous, anc
she was in state of collapse wher
the doctor arrived. The doctor saie
the wounds might heal, but that he
| had grave fears of blood poisoning.

PLANS TO ASSIST POULTRY
Steps to Protect the Welfare and
Comfort of Defenseless Birds.

The Illinois Humane society has
been Investigating conditions sur
rounding the shipment of poultry to
the Chicago market and has decided
to prosecute for cruelty those ship
pers who confine together animals of
more than one species or size. Pres
ident Shortall said:
Information has been received Of
gross carelessness, resulting often in
great cruelty, in the shipment of
poultry. One Of the forms this cruel
ty takes, reported to us from Iowa,
is the confinement of larger classes
of poultry, such as turkeys. with the
smaller, such as chickens. This
cruelty must be evident to the most
casual observer. Animals in transit
are naturally in nervous and ex-
are strange to them and the space
allotted to them Is small. 1t is not
unnatural, therefore. that the larger
and stronger animals should, under
such cruelty and in self-defense,
abuse and maltreat the smaller.
"Chickens arrive at the end of such
journeys lacerated and bleeding from
the attacks of the turkeys. They are
thus rendered more OF less unmar.
ketable, and the shipper is the loser
AS pure question of economy
therefore, animals Of one species anc
size should as nearly as possible bs
shipped by themselves. Even II the
turkeys did not pick at the chicken.
their falling upon and bruising them
through the rough movements of tn.
railroad train, would often render
their flesh unfit for food.
'"The Illinois Humane society beg
to draw the attention of carriers ant
shippers to these facts and to re
mind them that should live poultr,
be found in tho jurisdiction of thu
society packed In this condition WI
shall consider 1t cruelty within tn,
letter and meaning of the statut,
and prosecution will follow"

Congress appropriated five million
dollars more than was necessary to
pay the pensions for the last fiscal
year. Pension Commissioner Evans,
instead of devissng illegal ways and
means to getrid of this money actually
turned it back into the trasurey'where
it rightfully belonged. 1t is no wond.

Two years ago the late Gov. Pingree,
of Michigan, was interviewed by FL.
T. Cleveland. The interview was not
made public until recently, when it
was given to the Chicago Record-Her-
aid and published. From it we ex-
tract the following:
'sThey call me old Pingree, dema-
gogue Pingree, crank and lot of
other things, but if you'll scratch the
back of the fellows that are hollering
the most about me and against me,
you will find that what I'm doing or
advocating is hurting some property
right of theirs that isn't exactly on
the square. Grover Cleveland had the
greatest opportunity of any president
since Lincoln to do great things. But
he got fat on the brain. Prosperity
hurt him as much as it has Mckinley.
Both men had devlish struggles with
poverty before they got into the
White House, and when they sudden
| ly found they were certain of three
square meals day and a change of
linen twice week, they simply could
MT stand it. They got right away
from the people and began to chum-
my with the men who have no use for
the people except to bleed them. Be-
fore Cleveland left Buffalo all his COM
panions were fellows that swore by
the vox populi, but after he got to
Washington all his companions were
men who think the United States is a
purse to be picked. The Ohio country
didn't contain a bigger radical than
Mckinley before he got the right DIP
into politics. He was for everything
thatmentreform and great democratic
powers. Well, he amt now. He's
got scared of the people, and its the
trouble of everybody that they begir
to duck from the people; never did
but didn' have to, and I've neyel
been afraid to be on the peoples side
of a proposition, whether it was popu
/ lar or not"

REDUCED TO LIQUID.
Hydrogen Liquefled by an English
Professor.
Conducts Interesting Experiments
Before His Classes In London
Hydrogen Appears Like
Snow in Test Tube.

1t Is sufficiently wonderful to say
that Prof. James Dewar carried in
jar through the streets of London to
his lecture-room nearly two quarts of
liquid hydrogen. whioh until the
other day wae the meet Intangible
form of matter known to man. On
arriving before his audience this wiz
ard of science, who deals with tenn
peratures compared with which the
arctic cold is seething furnace,
proved marvels never witnessed OUT
side of his own laboratory.
He reduced hydrogen to Il solid
which appeared like snow in the test
tube, and announced that temper
allure had been produced eight or ten
degrees lower, or within nine degrees
of absolute zero. There is but one
substance now known which has as
yet not been reduced to liquid; that
is the new gas, helium. This most
| volatile form of matter has boiling
point four or five degrees above abso-
| lutte zero. The hope of being able to
liquefy helium depends on subjecting
it to the same process as has succeed
ed with hydrogen, only instead of
using liquid air under exhaustion, as
the primary cooling agent. liquid
| hydrogen under exhaustion must be
employed, and the resulting liquid
collected in vacuum vessels surrounds
ed with liquid hydrogen.
In this way. by the use of liquid
or solid hydrogen as cooling agent
it ought to be possible to liquefy g
body having critical point of abou
six to eight of absolute zero and {
boiling point of four or five degrees
Then If liquid helium could be pro
duced, this substance would not en-
. able the zero of temperature to b.
reached. Another gas must b.
found as much more volatile thai
helium as helium was more than by
drogen in order to reach within on

comprises a substance having a
atomic weight of two or one-half tina

CHEAPER KILOGRAMS
Made Possible by Invention Of Won
derful Little Instrument.
New Apparatus Makes IL Possible to
send Twenty-Four MessaEes
Over the Same Wire at the
Same Tam0.

Some Important experiments IN con-
nection with new telegraph system,
which is said to cheaper considerably
the cost of kilograms. have recently
been conducted by the postal en-
gineesr between London and Glasgow.
The new apparatus is the invention OF
a French engineer of the name of
Mercadier, and by It's means 1t is pos
sible to send 10 separate messages
over one wire at the same time. The
system is also capable of being du-
picked, by which "a separate mes
sages can be sent at one time over q
single wire.
The details of the apparatus are
comparatively simple. The wire is at
tached at either end to 10 sending
wires, and in another case to IL re-
ceivers. AT the sending end the cur
rents are interrupted by IL rapidly
vibrating metal reeds, each reed vi
brating at different speed. AT the
receiving end are IL telephone re-
ceivers with membranes of different
thicknesses, capable of vibrating at q
certain rate, but at no other. The diff
ferent rates of these receivers are
identical with the rates of the reeds
at the sending station.
When message is sent, or when Il
separate messages are sent. what hap
pens is this: The ~ currents entel
the wire, each impressed with diff
ferent vibration rate. At the receiv
ing station they pass through mi
croscropic receiver, which gives then
added strength. They are then dis
charged through the IL recsivsrs. A
each of these receivers only respond
to vibrations of certain rate, the.
select each the currents belonging d.
its particular message, but are i'm
pervious to all the others. By thi
means the messages are accnratel
sorted out and kept distinct.

Monstro.it1e. All the Rage.

There must be rage for medical
monstrosities, judging from the Au-
tocolsky sale at Paris. The collector,
a sculptor with eccentric tastes, ac-
cumulated things that 10 out of 20
would not pick up. AT the sale these
monstrosities fetched $4,000. To
show how much such things have
gone up, a brass chandelier made OF
q shapeless lion, bestrode by shape
less man, fetched $1,56o. A few years
ago it sold for $40. A fourteenth
century aquamanile, also In metal
fetched $500; 20 years ago its price
was $3.50.

NEW FASHION IN DUELs.
Az Paris Ladies Are Among the Spec

A new departure in French duels
has been taken. In the famous fight
between an Italian maitre d'armes,
signor PM, and M. Thomegeux, q
well-known Paris ameteur, they first
set the fashion of duel with gal
lery. In the duel between Prince de
sagan and Able Hsrmant the pho
togpapheF first came on the scene.
But 1t was reserved for the sensa-
tional duel between M. Max Regis
and NJ. LabardssQue to bring half 3
dozen ladies on the scene, and to
have a score of police keeping order
outside the cycle track, whore the
duel was fought. and many inside In
speoting the cards of the privileged
spectators.
The duel however, was not pour
rire." OF the half dozen encounters
recently seen IL was the one in which
the two men meant business, and IT
was with sigh Of relief that tbs
spectators saw the slight wound, in
aioted by pure accident which put
an end to the encounter.
