Lions and Florida Water.

A small girl writing to Our Dumb
Animals, tells an amusing story of q
lion delighted with the perfume of
Florida water
We had often heard that animals
were very fond of perfumes, so Mamie
and l saved our pennies and bought
bottle of Florida water, which we took
with us to the zoo. You just ought to
have heard the racket in the lion house.
1t was very near their dinner time and
they were all hungry. The old lion
and his wife were prancing round their
cage. roaring with all their might.
Their noise started the puma, and
when he started the panthers, 1t was,
j assure you, pandemonium let loose.
So Mamie poured half of the Florida
water on a piece of cotton and threw
II in the lions cage. He stopped his
noise shifted at it. rolled all over it,
and acted just like good-natured
n1lnpv dog. He rolled over and over
with his four big. strong legs in the
air. He was perfectly happy and for
got that he was hungry. Then Mrs.
lion came up and had roll, and he
never once snarled at her as he so often
does They both were as nice and quiet
as two pussy cats Mamie and / didn't
regret having spent our money on the
perfume.

DOCTORS DIFFER.
Limit of Distance For Wireless Tele-
nhoOu


New York Mail and EXpress)
1t developed today that William Marconi
and Nikola Tesla are at odds over the
question of wireless telephony. Mr. Mar
conf declared that two or three miles was
the limit of distance for telephone mes
sages without wires. Mr.. Tesla insisted
that he had talked through the air with
person eight miles away
I was never able to send spoken words
by wireless apparatus a greater distance
than two miles. and gave up the expert
mentS with the telephone on that ac-
count" said William MarcOni today when
questioned concerning the probable sue
cess of the tests made by the Signal corps
of the United States army.
A dispatch from Washington had said
the Signal corps had lately overcome diff
ficulties that had long Ahecked it's prog
ress. and had succeeded in sending a dis
lance OF 4SO feet. without wires messages
uttered in clear, speaking tones that
would ordinarily have carried distance
of only thirty or forty feet. The instru-
ments used are said to be more delicate
and sensitive than those used in wireless
telegraphy, and the officers of the Signal
corps are somewhat elated over their
progress in what would be an Invaluable
aid to armies in the field.
II don't care to discuss the work of
other men," continued Mr.. Marconi "and
| do not know what the Signal corps has
accomplished. | gave up my experiments
with the wireless telephone when it ap-
peared to me that two or three miles
would be the limit of its usefulness"
Nikola Tesla says he has sent wireless
telephone messages "A distance of eight
miles. and that there appears TO be moth
ing astonishing in the feat of the Signal
corps of the United States army in trans
hitting spoken words through the air
distance of $50 feet as reported in the
dispatches from Washington.
The only thing astonishing about it Is
that it should be considered astonishing"
said Mr.. Tesla today
II have sent wireless telephone mes
sages eight miles, and many telephone
men have sent them several miles with
little effort or preparation The most in
experiments have been conduct
ed by an English electrician who used
only dry cells and sent messages without
wires even farther than I ever did; and l
wonder somewhat at not having heard of
futher results of his experiments. These
things have been going on for several
years.
THE transmission of messages without
the use of wires is only part of the plans
and inventions covered by my patents"

Orange Peel Trick

According to a Chinese legend. there
lived in Canton 200 years before Christ
an artist named Linn Kao-Poung. who
won an immortal reputation owing to
the fact that he was able to fashion
out of a bean pod boat, complete
with Tudder, sails, mast and all other
necessary appurtenances. Moreover.
on the exterior of the boat were en-
graved various maXims by Confucius
For this masterpiece, it is said, the
Emperor Tsi-FOu paid him LOCO taeIs

made out of hazelnuts and chestnuts,
and heads of peacocks and parrots are

that the most attractive, though not
the most durable, work can be done.
With a few skillful incisions of the
penknife the eyes and nose and lips of
a man or woman can be cut out of
such peel, and by placing a suitable
cap on top the oddly of the counte
nance is remarkably increased. Fur
thermore, much fun may be obtained
by placing this head on a handkerchief
which rests on a tumbler; for, if one
of the four corners of the handkerchief
be then gently pulled, the head will
wag most comically to one side, and as
it has no neck, the effect produced is
most ludiCrous.

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews: Aunt
Busy is anXiOusly expecting some re-
plies to her question of last week,
What / would do with 81 600
She has received one reply and it is
"A very nice reply, from her dear niece
Tessie Reichle of Willis, ?. O.
BY the way, Tessie commented on the
ogden boys. She wrote that Aunt
Busy had to coax a great deal in order
10 make the Ogden boys write to her."
Wen, this is so. little Tessie, but their
letters are worth the coaXing.
Aunt Busy expects some exceedingly
interesting letters from them soon. be-
cause they can write on two excellent
subjects, What I would do with 81, 000
and they will also write about the fine
celebration they had on St. Patrick's
day. Now, just wait, young people,
for those letters, and in the meantime
Aunt Busy wants to hear from every
where about what her dear girls and
boys would do with 81. COO But be
original: write exactly as you think.
and do not ask any help from any one.
Just remember the question, dear chill
dren. What would 1 do with $1.000?"
Your loving AUNT BUSY.

RAILROAD GOOSE LAW.
The Proper Bird at Which the Line
Should be Drawn.

II,
Nashville (TennD Banner)
Nashville & Knoxville Railroad com
pany VS.. Thomas F. Davis-Putnam
law. Justice Wilkes said:
This is an action in damages against
the railroad, for running over and kill
ing three geese of the value of $50.
The owner of the geese lived about a
mile from the railroad, but permitted
them to run at large. and they went
upon the railroad track near a public
read crossing. The engineer blew the
whistle and rang the bell for the cross
ing, but there is no proof that he rang
the bell or sounded the alram for the
geese. Whether the geese knew of this
failure to whistle to them does not
appear
We think there is no evidence of
TecklesSness or common-law negligence
shown in this case, and the only ques-
ton is whether a goose is an animal
or obstruction in the sense of the stat
ute, section 1,574, subsection 4. Shan
mons compilation, which requires the
alarm whistle TO be sounded and brakes
put down, and every possible means
employed to stop the train and prevent
an accident when an animal or OBJ
struction appears on the track 1t is
evident this section is designed not
only to protect animals on the track,
but also the passengers and employees
upon the train. from accident and in
jury. 1t would not seem that a goose
was such an obstruction as would
cause the derailment of a train if run
over.
1T is true a goose has animal life.
and in the broadcast sense is an animal.
but we think that the statute does
not require the stopping of trains to
prevent running over birds such as
geese, chickens, ducks, pigeons. ca
naries and other birds that may be
kept for pleasure or profit. Birds have
wings to move them quickly from
places of danger, and it is presumed
they will use them; violent presump-
ton, perhaps, in case of goose-an
animal which appears to be loath to
stoop from his dignity to escape q
passing train
But the line must be drawn some
where, and we are of the opinion that
the goose is the proper bird to draw
It at.
I'VE do not mean to say that. in case

Controversial Dialogue Between Presbyterian and His

she does not claim. and never has
claimed for herself the title she denies
to Rome. She denies the supreme au-
thority over the whole church claimed
and exercised by the pope, not because
she claims the supremacy for herself,
but because she denies that any such
supremacy was conferred ON any one
in the original constitution of the
church. She is. then, no adverse claim

question. So you cannot get an adj

Indeed. when YOU have once conceded

the Roman claims to be. you must con-
cede that the Roman is that church. for

That is hardly true. The Anglican

and the other against Presbyte-ians,
Baptists. Congrega tionaIists. Metho-

enough to claim to be the Catholic
church in its unity and integrity. She
claims al most, to be only a branch of
it, which implies that the root and
trunk are elsewhere; and she does not
even pretend that the supreme visible
central authority she obeys or exercises
is the supreme visible authority of the
whole church of Christ. Moreover, she
confesses that she is fallible. that she
has heretofore erred grievously in doc
trine and manners, and may err again.
Her claim, therefore. is not the same
as that of the Roman church, and her
title is not, strictly speaking an adj
verse title. So you can succeed no
better with her than with the Greek
church, or than with your own

is nothing less than a loaf of bread found
in a cave dwelling in the Superstition
mountains of central Arizona in 1879. and
since that time in the possession of Her

The bread is undeniabIy bread. and
without a doubt is of great age. 1t was

probably had been baked hundreds and
even thousands of years ago.
1t had very plainly been wrapped in
cloth or mat. and the marks of the fiber
of the cloth are plainly visible in the

PRESERVE OUR WILD FLOWERS
A Lesson From the East in Which the
West May Find Warning.
brooklyn EagIe.D


Considering that the American people
spend over. $1S.0OO,OOO a year on roses,
violets and other dollhouse products,
raised by 5000 florists of TINS country,
irrespective of the probably larger
sums thar are paid to seedmen and
plant growers for public and private
gardens. it is evident that an interest
is felt in flowers. Whether it is inter
est or the lack of it that leads vandals
10 destroy them wherever they find
them, is open to argument. A fond
ness for these pretty hectares that
leads to the shipping of blossoms from
the plant is reprehensible enough
but in their eagerness or indifference
many tear the whole plant out of the
earth.
The result of this has been to almost
eXterminate certain of the wild flowers
that used to make the upper end of
Manhattan gay, and that were not un-
known on the edge of Brooklyn. The
l9rtehman's brooches, that served as
reminders of the original settlers here
aheutss are now conspicuously absent;
