AROUND EARTH IN FORTY DAYS
Banker of Cleveland Expects to Ac-
cOmplish Trip in That
Time.

P. M. Spencer, president of the Cleve-
land (O) national bank, who, above
all things, takes delight in travel, has
under contemplation an attempt to go
around the world in 40 days. The
present record for q complete journey
around the world is 81 days and seven
hours, but Mr.. Spencer believes that
the long journey can be accomplished
in little over a month.
The plans of Mr.. Spencer have not
been arranged as TO detail, and before
the date of departure is decided upon
every effort will be made to get the
route so laid out that only the unex-
pected will prevent delays. The pro-
posed globe girdler is now in COM
munication with persons in different
parts of the world, and the course of
the journey is being gradually put into
shape.
AS has been the case with all persons
who have tried to circle the world in
record time. Mr.. Spencer anticipates
that the most difficult part of the whirl
will be through parts of Russia If
he can make good connections in Rus
STA he does not see anything in the
way of an accomplishment of the trip
in 40 days.
The particular point where II will be
necessary to have pxevious arrange
ments for quick connections will be at
Vladivostock, Russia, at the eastern
terminus of the Trans-Slberian rail-
way. 1t is at this point chat steamer
connections are made for Yokohama.
Japan. With good luck in the matter
of connections 1t is roughly figured
that the trip can be made from this
city to Moscow, Russia. in eight
days; Moscow to Vladisvostok. IL
days; Vladivostok to Nicho. two davs;
Nicho to Yokohama. half day; Yo-
Nohara to San Francisco. IL days. and
San Francisco to Cleveland. Az days.
II this schedule can be adhered to the
trip will be made in a little over 80
days, and all records badly broken.

SAYS HE CAN COLOR DIAMONDS
DIR. w. G. Fuchs Announces the DIS
covery of New Use
for X-Rays.

Diamonds of the purest white and
most dazzling brilliancy will soon be
within the reach of the smallest wage
Garner, if W. c. Fuchs X-ray process
of changing the color OF gems proves
to be all that experiments indicate. Mr..
Fuchs, who is Chicago man, hopes that
with the perfection of his process he
will be able to bleach poor yellow stones
to clear white. Mr.. Fuchs has been
laboring for five years, and he is now
able to announce that he can change a
diamond to any color desired.
In his experiments, during which he
has used $1,000 worth of stones. he has
changed a one and one-half carat dia-
mond to a brilliant green. with added
luster. He also produced stone OF
a rich brown, similar to the $4,000 gem
in King Edwards crown. and further
changed six-carat white stone to black.
The coloration is permanent. If de-
sired, though Mr.. Fuchs can return the
stone to it's original color.

NIT readily to the treatment. yellow
topaz having been changed to deep
green by the process. The method con-
sists in directing the X-rays through the
substances from which the color is to
be obtained before the rays touch and
penetrate the diamond. Mr.. Fuchs de-
clares that 1t is a known fact that dia-
mond has large pores. and that It is
partially through these that the parti-
cles are able to pass into the body of the
stone. The inventor says that he will
keep part OF the process secret until he
has further perfected II.

George |. was lover of the stage
and, us his predecessors had done,
caused his Servants" to play before
him at court. In 171S his majesty or.
dercd the great hall of Hampton Court
to be converted for the time into q
theater. There, under the direction OF
Steele, whose political services had
been poorly reconpensed by granting
him some theatrical privileges" seven
performances were given. Among the
plays were Hamlet" "Slr County
Nice" "The Constant Couple" Love
For Money" "Volpone" and rule a
Wife and Have Wife" Among the
players were Colley Cibber Pinket4
man, Johnson, Thurmond Booth, Mills,
Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Younger.
In former times the fee paid by the
sovereign to his servants for a play
acted ut Whitehall had been f20. For
these plays at Hampton Court, King
George, besides paying the actors their
ordinary days wage and travelling ex.
penscs, gave $3.50 and added 1900 for
the managers. The players were re-
quircd to act at any time upon receiv-

Facts
About
Medicine

eff your Vinol is such wonder
full stuff, what's the need of harp
ing about it so much In the paper"
A remark heard in our store.
We answer: We advertise Vinol
because we have found it a good
thing.
We advertise Vinol under our
own name and with our own guar
antee, because it is different from
the twenty medicines my friend
alluded to. For instance, it is not
a secret preparation. 1t is endorsed
by physicians. 1t has a surprising
record Of cures right here in town.
1t has our absolute guarantee of
money back if you are not helped.
We advertise Vinol to increase its
usefulness. We may repeat, but
we remember that the great Sena-
tor Benton said, Ding-dong is the
most effective argument" meaning
that you have to say a thing a good
many times before you can get
people to believe it.
Sowe want to sayonce more that
we believe Vinol will do effective
work in ninety-eight cases out of
one hundred of debility, nervous
ness, insomnia, bronchitis, hacking
cough, lung troubles, and the
obscure troubles of irritable and
fretful men and women.

Errors of Diet.

An insurance man of my acquaint.
ance ate hearty breakfasts, with meat
and coffee. hurried lunch at noon,
but also with meat, and a heavy dinner
at night. He took no exercise, always
rode between house and office, became
fat and bloated, and his blood became
SO overloaded that he readily succumb-
cd to disease at forty-five. The won-
der was that he lived SO long. He was
n type of the average well to do citizen.
Like him, most of us eat too much,
says a writer In Good Housekeeping.
Diet should depend upon temperament
and vocation. At hard work out of
doors one requires more nutriment than
at sedentary labor indoors. A gradual
reduction In diet, even an occasional
fast, will cure many ordinary Ills. Add
deep breathing. fresh air, body build
ing exercises, plenty of sunshine, wa
ter inside and out, and It is astonish-
Ing how much better one feels.

WILD ANIMAL FIGHTS.
Enormous Physical Force Expended
In These Fierce Combats.

Enormous Physical Force Expended
In These Fierce Combnts.
In the pitched battles which some
times take place between the great
carnivora and the largest and most
powerful of the OK tribe the forces of
animal courage, desperation and bodily
strength must be exhibited on a scale
never elsewhere seen, says a writer in
Leslie's Weekly. Such combats do &C.
cur, but have seldom been witnessed
and still less frequently described. Two
or three lions sometimes combine In
such an attack, but from the marks
seen on. buffalo 1t is probable that
sometimes there is single combat, for
1t can hardly be supposed that the buff
falo could escape from more than one
lion.
The number of foot pounds of energy
put into such Il struggle must be some
thing extraordinary. The efforts of a
lion, which can strike mans arm
from the shoulder and leave it hang
ing by n strip of skin or which can
carry u COW over high stockade, en-
| deavoring unsuccessfully in close grips
to drag down or disable buffalo bull,
must be on a gigantic scale, and the
strength which can shake him off and,
1t is believed, occasionally crush the
lion afterward must be even more
amazing. A buffalo bull has been cred
tied with engaging three lions in NOR
tai combat and making good fight
before he was disabled by one of the
lions hamstringing him by biting his
legs from behind.
