and il; is understood that there were
not more than . half dozen of the
CANNES present. When MI. Lehr sent
out the invitations he stated that tho
guests were to bring their pet dogs,
and those who came did SO, and from
what can be gathered all had an

and Mrs. Lehr, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs,
Creighton Webb. Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., Mrs. Oliver H. p. Bel.
mont, James Lawrence Van Allen,

found that q special table had been
arranged for the poodles, and, they
were seated on stools and given a
course dinner, on Q table decorated
with flowers. Following the dinner
prizes we're offered for the dogs tina,
could do the best stunts, but it i,
not known who were the prize win,
ners. It was stated that the dog din,
ner ended in . fight, but this is SAID
not to be so; that everything went
on ~peaceably.

Great Britain Declared to BE Far Ne.
hind United states and
Germany.

At the annual meeting at London
Of the Association Of Technical In.
stitutions Sir William Hart Dyke, in
his presidential address, urged the
spread Of technical education in Great
Britain.
he reviewed the thorough systems
of the United States and Germany,
and said It was time Great Britain
recognized that the day Of the un.
trained man had passed. When trade
q again at low ebb, Great Britain
would feel the effects Of her poor
system Of education and America and
Germany would press her still more
hardly in the race for commerce.

NEW ELECTRIC POWER.
pennsylyania Inventor Discovers n
Unexplninable Third
Current.

Daniel Drawbaugh, Of Eberly'
Mills, Cumberland county, Pa, the
original inventor of the telephone at
the age of "a, has stumbled cross an
unexplainable electrical current OF
high potentiality in some expert.
ments he has been making recently
along hines of wireless telegraphy.
Mr.. Drawbaugh's machine is very
small and is constructed similarly to
the electromagnetic apparatus
found on telephone instruments. He
turns on the F@-s 60 >ssatiys
currents, subsequently sn%oru-crrru1r
ing these currents, ~whereupon he
draws another and an apparently UNI
known current from another part Of
the dimin.tive apparatus. The short
eircuited current and the third cur
rent combined make such . powerful
flow of electricity as to completely
puzzle those who have witnessed the
machines performance.

RATS RULE An orT1cR
r..ie Feare when Clerks In Census
Dnreau Learn, That Rodents
swarm the Place.

Officials in the census Office -
Washington are much worried b.
cause Of the hordes ct hungry rats
which have made Their appearance in
The building in search Of food left BY
employees Of the bureau, and every ef'
tort il being made to keep the clerks.
especially the women, from learning
that countless rodents have infested
he Office.
The rats have come from the old
sewer over which the census Office 10
built. A new consignment of rat
traps OF the largest size was import
ed to-day and strenuous warfare 10
to be waged on the pests.
The plan proposed for the exters
mination of the rodents include the
barricadlng Of the entire building ny
many hundred yards of fine wire n.t
ting. The facts cannot be kept Sc
nret much longer. At is feared a panic
might ensue among the women clerks
It the truth became known.
Lively times are expected when
the news spreads, as it is sur to do.
that there are hundreds of famishea
rats running about over the rafters
of the cellar, just beneath the feet
of the women clerks at work. Three
rats made their appearance in the
Office to-day during Office hours, and
. small sized panic resulted among
the women clerks who saw them. Fol-
. few minutes high chairs were at .
premium.
Usually the rats do not show them
selves until after the departure of the
clerks for the night. AS soon as the
I o'clock bell rings the rats appear
and from then until morning they
hold possession of the building. Great
quantities Of edibles are left in tn,
waste baskets and on the floor BY
the clerks, most of whom bring theil
lunches from home, and eat at theil
1esks.
The rats are becoming bolder, an.
hey are now too wise to be take1
IN traps. They gain access to tn
building through the cellar by jump
ing from the ground 20 the space
between the rafters.
