WOMAN'S PURSUIT. OF MAN.

I'VE set apart a room here on this
floor for the men to write their letters
in and smoke as they write If they
want to. In less than week the
women had deserted their own writing
room and taken possession OF the one
reserved for the men.
Then we gave the men big loung.
ing and smoking room away off at the
end of half down on the ground floor
and equipped with writing desks. Id
like to have you go down and look into
that room at this minute. II II isn't
swarming with women I'll receipt your
bill without a cent of money.
THE women have now deserted the
waiting room up here out of which
they drove the men and IL one of EN-
has letter to write, or makes believe
she has, she'll walk a quarter OF a
mile to get into that subterraneous
lounging room downstairs. 1t was
mans last stand. that lounging room,
and when the women stormed that cit.
adel and took It We gave the thing up.
Am I a woman.hater? Well, no, not
much. like 'em all the better for It,

are and that's Just where they belong.

Conditions Of the Race.


General conditions to be observed in
the airship race, which is for a prize
OF 100000 offered by the Worlds
Fair management, have now been

Speed is to be the only test of mer-

will be a series of these trials over diff.

Berlin Inventor to Come.
Herman Ganswindt, a noted Berlin
inventor, is coming all the way from
Germany to race with his airship in
the aerial contests at the Exposition.
For ten years Ganswindt has been ex'

ship which flies successfully by means
OF motor and without the use Of a
balloon.
Ganswindt has repeatedly demon
strated his invention before the chief
of the general staff of the German ar

x Science Threatens the Hard Working Hen x

Can an egg be manufactured? In
these days of tabloid foods, when a
barrel of beer, SO to speak. may be
carried in a mans coat pocket, no
statement is to be regarded as ex.
travagant. Therefore, when man
learned in chemistry and other sci
ences states that a hens egg, in sub.
stance, form and with its shell, can be
artificially duplicated. with its quail.
ties exactly the same, except for the
purpose of progeniture, that man is en-.
titled to at least hearing.
Other men say the thing cant be
done, though all, admit that the com.
ponent chemical structure is well
known, and the quantity of each in
the formation of the whole has been
definitely calculated, together with
the manner of their admixture. Not
alone Is this true of the interior OF the
egg but pf its overcoat, or shell, as
well.

HAIR OF THE SLOTH.
II Is Green In Color and For n Pc
cuIiar Reason.

cuIiar Reason.
1t Is q very curious fact that certain
plants grow and thrive on the hair of
sloths. Apart from its extremely coarse
and brittle nature, the most striking
popularity of the outer hair of the
sloth Is It's more or less decidedly green
tinge. Now, green is very rare color
among mammals. and there ought,
therefore, to be some special reason for
Its development in the sloth, and. as a
matter of fact, the means by which
this coloration is produced is one of
the most marvellous phenomena In the
whole animal kingdom, so marvellous,
indeed, that 1t is at first almost impos-
sible to believe that it is true.
The object of this peculiar type Of
coloration is. of course, to assimllate
the animal to its leafy surroundings
and thus to render it as inconspcuous
usual position from the underside Of
a bough its long, coarse and green
tinged hair is stated to render the sloth
almost indistinguishable from the
punches of gray green lichens among
which it dwells. In the outer sheath
of the hairs of the al there are a num-
Der of transverse cracks and in these
cracks grows a primitive type of plant
namely, one celled alga.
And for the benefit of nonbotanical
readers it may be well to mention here
that algT. among which seaweeds are
included. form Il group of flowerless
plants related on the one hand to the
fungi and on the other to the lichens.
In the moist tropical forests forming
the home of the slOths the algH in the
cracks of their hairs grow readily and
thus communicate to the entire coat
that general green tint which, as al
ready said. is reported to render them
almost indistinguishable from the clus-
tiers of lichen among which they hang
suspended knowledge.
