CRUSADERS AT WORK.
Use Object Lesson in Cruelty to Stop
the Fashion of Docking the
Tails of Horses.


A novel yet vigorous war against
the docking of horses tails has been
begun in Baltimore by the Maryland
Society for the Protection of Ami
mails, and the methods used to edu-
cate the people regarding the enorm-
ity of the offense has aroused the ire
of every "chappy'' who considers
himself a whip.
On sunny afternoons, when the
shopping district is crowded with
women, an agent of the society leads
sorrel horse up and down the
streets, and lest it shall fail to be re-
marked that the animal has been
shorn of his tail, blanket is
strapped about him, on which is

A GREAT INVENTION.
So Scientists Speak of the Hewitt
Electric Lamp.
Rich Young New Yorker Has Outdone
the Efforts of Edison and Tesla
Light That Is as Cheap
as Kerosene.

Once in awhile it is given to the
sons of the rich to ride out of the
ranks and to distinguish themselves
in the field of might. Quite recently
it was young Vanderbilt inventing a
locomotive. Just now it is Cooper
Hewitt, of New York, giving the
world a new light. His case is even
more spectacular than that of Van
derbilt, for the effects of his inven-
ton will be more far-reaching.
1t is now more than four years
since Peter Hewitt Cooper began his
experiments in Madison Square gar
den. He opened his laboratory in the
tower of the garden, just one floor
under the gilded statue of Diana.
The very prominence of the situa-
ton lent it a certain obscurity. He
wished not to be disturbed and no
one would think of looking for the
workshop of a scientist in the same
building that harbored horse shows,
cycle meets and spectacle plays. He
labored with that chimera which
sooner or later claims the attention
OF all scientific men-the production
of light without heat. He studied
the work of Tesla, of Edison, of
Croolles. He followed their lead and
having tested their experiments he
soon made up his mind that they had
not reached the uttermost limits of
this department of electrical re-
search. He was young and time was
no object. He had abundant means,
so money did not count. Occasional
ly the societies heard of him when
he told of certain progress he had
made. To his friends he was prom
Using young scientist, who might do
something some day.
The ''some day" came with the new

Suggestion That ID. H. Perry May Run

to Boiling.

D. M. Parry, president of the Parry
Manufacturing company and vice
president of the National Manufacture
ing company, of Indianapolis, Ind, is
being urged by Indiana and other
friends and politicians to stand for the
vice presidential nomination in 1904.

light extending up and own the house
front. The light came from glass
tube and it made the street nearly
as light as day for hundred feet in
every direction. 1t was the invention
of young Peter Cooper Hewitt. The
meeting hall of the building was
lighted by four other tubes similar
to the one in front and the inventor
was even then within explaining to
the society members the nature of
his discovery. The four tubes which
hung in the hall illuminated it with
brilliancy equal to 500 candle pow
er, and photographs of the assembled
members We're taken with the new
light.
The Hewitt lamp, however, is so
thoroughly adapted to present day
conditions that no special wiring is
required, no special dynamo is neces-
sary to operate it. 1t may be at
tached to any incandescent light cir
cult now in use and it will glow as
readily as an Edison lamp, only with
many times the brilliancy. And yet
the perfected lamp is such simple
affair that one wonders some of the
brainy men of the scientific world
have not hit upon the idea long ago.
1t is actually a fact that many of
them not only experimental with
this style of lamp, but even tried
lamps of the very size, shape and
contents of those used by Mr.. Hewitt
and failing to produce the desired
effect, discarded the idea as impos-
sible. The lamps used by Mr.. Hewitt
are in the shape of glass tubes, from
one to ten feet long and from one to
four inches thick. There is small
amount Of mercury in each tube and
! the current acting on the mercury
generates a gas which yields an in
tense white light. 1t is only neces-
sary to attach a tube to an ordinary
incandescent lamp circuit and it will
light up. Mr.. Hewitt encountered
the same difficulties as the other sci
entists.
The tubes would not light up at
first, but he thought there must be
some underlying principle which,
could he but discover it, would solve
the difficulty. He finally put it to the
/ test of mathematics and worked it
out algebraically, just as Prof. Pupin
worked out the principle of ocean
telephony. Tt took him four years,
but the result was triumph, for the
| tube lighted up in the end.

the naval hospitals at Philadelphia
and Norfolk. After three years serv-
ice on the Tallapoosa he was stationed
at Washington for two years, and then
made three years cruise on the Ian
caster in European and South Amer
lean waters. From 1887 to 1898 he was
on special duty in Washington, and
was then attached to the dispatch boat
Dolphin for three years. From 1896
to the present time he has been sta
toned in Washington, with the excep-
ton of a brief service on the hospital
ship Solace during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. For several years past he
has been in charge of the navy dis
pensary.
Surgeon General Rixey has the great
distinction among the medical fra
ternity of being the family physician
of Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt.
He attended the late Vice President
Hobart last summer and was the fam
lily physician of the secretary of the
navy. So close was DR.. Rixey to Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley that no trip
was made by them without his attend
ance, and he has also acted as travel
ing, companion and physician to the
members of President Roosevelt,s fam
lily whenever they have left the city.
He was a constant attendant at Mrs.
McKinley's bedside when she was pros
trated in San Francisco, and he was
also with President McKin1a1, IN bic
last illness at Buffalo.

structions by the war college, which

will ultimately be in effect post
graduate course for the study of the
greater problems of military science
and national defense.
S. The establishment of record in
the war department upon which shall
appear the names of officers who have
exhibited special capacity, in order
that they may be known by the COM
mander in chief and by the country
whenever special service is required.
6. The throwing open of the schools
to the officers of the national guard,
of the former volunteers and the grad
yates of military colleges and schools
for instruction by and with the officers
of the regular army.
To accomplish this purpose Secre-
tary Root has ordered the foundation
at every military post of officers
schools for elementary instruction in
theory and practice and special serv-
ice schools. These latter will be To-
Gated at the artillery school at Fort
ress Monroe, Va, the engineers school
of application, which is located at the
Washington barracks, where the new
war college will also be housed; the
schools of submarine defense at Fort
Totten, N. Y, the school of application
for cavalry and field artillery at Fort
Riley, Kan, and the army medical
school, which is also situated at
Washington. A general service and
staff college is recommended at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, and the war col
| lege for the most advanced instruction
will be located at the Washington bar
racks.
1t is estimated that the additional
expense for the fitting of these schools
with buildings and apparatus will be
about 100000 year.
Gen. S. M. B. Young has been select
ed as the president of the war college.
His assistants or advisory board have
been tentatively selected as follows:
Gen. J. F. Bell, now on service in the
Philippines, as commander of the
school at Fort Leavenworth, Kan;
Gen. G. L. Gillespie, chief of engineers;
Gen. w. F. Randolph, chief of artillery,
and Col A. L. Mills, superintendent of
the military academy at West Point.
