Music to Be a Feature. :.
Prof. Mulenbruch's Horse Show
March" was rendered In full for the
first time last Thursday morning at
the Mozart hall, and those who heard
it predict that it will receive a regular
ovation when 1t is played for the first
time In public Tuesday, June %, as
! the opening feature of the horse show,
on Governors night. 1t will be played
for the grand entree. which is Glass No.
/, for high steppers, which will be quite
fitting and appropriate as an opening
number.
An exceedingly attractive musicN
programme has been arranged for the
entire week. Another feature OF the
show will be the revival of the old
English sports, such as potato races,
egg and spoon races, equestrian foot
ball, cigarette, umbrella and dead mans
race, etc, ETC., all Of which are decid-
edly funny and even exciting at times,
and not entirely void of danger, as
they require expert horsemanship, a
cool head and quick action.
The potato races are the fun of the
horse show. They are put on to re-
lieYe and amuse. Potato races in horse
shows take the place of the man who
does the funny part on the stage. They
give the people a chance to clap their
hands and laugh and become excited
after the endless procession of blooded
horses pass in front Of the judges.
Unique Sports Added.
When one enters a potato race he
must prepare to be jolted and Jared
Jolting and Earring count much in po-
tato races. A good rider often wins
by being able to drive his horse
straight at another and so disarrang-
Ing the opposing rider that his potato
IS lost in the scramble which follows.
1t does not take much to be a potato
race rider, just lots of nerve, and that's
all. 1t is lots of fun to be able to dis
play nerve in horse show arena. Here
is the way it happens:
A basket Of raw potatoes is placed

The Rialto bridge, which one must
cross to reach the Island. is fifty feet
In length. The st. Marks pillars
stand 26 feet high. The houses and
palaces at the Fourth avenue end are
huge buildings that stand forty-five
feet from the floor. The cooling appa-
ratus promises to give the tempera-
ture fifteen degrees lower than the
outdoor air. Canvas blankets will
cover the skylights by day, thick can
vas screens will shut out all light and
heat from the windows. and the gar
den will be practically Theoretically
sealed from eight in the morning un-
til six at night. At shutdown, how
ever, all windows will be opened and
the skylight thrown back. the refriger-
ated air forced in and the old air drawn
out, and innumerabIe fans and East
Indian punkahs will keep the cool air
in motion from six until midnight,
"a Working Girls Wrongs" pre-
scented at the Third Avenue theater,

items in the metropolitan bill Of fare
this week to the lovers of genuine
melodrama. The play is from the pen
Of Hal Reid and is handsomely put on.

discussion Of the present industry
brought out the statement that the
necrosis set up in the bones of the
phosphorus users may make it's ap-
pearance three or four years after the
workman has left the factory, and so
insidious is the disease that victims
have hand bones fractured without
knowing anything was wrong. The eff
fects may extend to whole families
through heredity.
While urging that the proposed bio
logical survey of the North sea should
seek means Of favoring fishes and thdtr
food supply, Prof. w. c. MIntosh de-
clares that no important species is in
danger Of becoming extinct. The fish
es were not eXterminated by the
swarms of gigantic destroyers of rep
lillian times. when the destruction must
at least have equaled that of today by
man, and further extinction need not
be feared.
A remarkable Chinese industry IS de-
scrtbed by A. A. Faurel. 1t was long
ago discovered that the irritation OF
foreign bodies produces pearls in mol
lusks, and for several centuries pearls
have been cultivated on this principle
in two villages of the Tche- Kiang
province. The mollusks, brought from
a lake a considerable distance away.
are left in reservoirs a few days to
become acclimated. The shells are
then opened, lead figures of Buddha or
bits of mother of pearl are introduced,
with little paste of ground scales
and the molluscs are returned to the
reservoirs. A food Of focal matter Is
regularly supplied. After a year or
more the uclei become covered with
I1other-of-pearl Of thickness varying
with the time, and the shells or the
detached pearls are marketed. A sea-
sons product is estimated at $4,000
smells, giving support to 5000 families,
The development of rapid travelling
seems to have brought it's disease, at
fecting chiefly individuals Of degen-
crate type. French physicians find
high speeds attended by kind Of in
toXication in certain automobilists. the
effects resembling the morphine delir-
ium. and the victims becoming quite
unable to control their reckless pas
sion for rapid motion. Like the NOR
phine and alcohol habits, the speed

Vanced cases.
The roots of plants are found to have

Whether the ancient Romans had
large optical instruments Is question
raised by three lenses in a Berlin mu-
scum. These lenses--obtained from
old baths--are plano-convex, about IL
by Is inches in size, and are inaccu-
rately rounded and imperfectly polish
ed. One suggestion Is that they were
used for heating the baths by the suns
rays. The conceived emerald supposed
to have been used by Nero for View
ing the CIRCUS games ia cited as proof
that the Romans could have made lens
es better adapted for opuca! uses.

The egg and spoon race is similar
game, which starts out ON a very mild
order and usually winds up with a
lively scrimmage for the victor. Each
contestant is mounted on a pony and
given wooden spoon, in which is plac-
ed an egg. They are all lined up and
at a given signal are instructed t,
first walk their horses around the ring.
Then trot once and canter once around.
Each opponent has the privilege Of
interfering with the other contestant,
which count to his credit If he sue
ceeds in knocking off his opponents
egg, who is required to return to the
starting point and secure another egg
and start over again.
Sometimes a player will be on
canter almost at the finish when he
loses his egg and has to begin again
at the walk, and before the game is
over the players are pretty we'll mix
ed up, furnishing plenty of amusement
for the spectators and players as we'll.
Equestrian football is played in the

mouth, and at given signal each is
to light his cigarette, mount his horse
and open his Notwithstanding off
for the other end of the arena at a full
gallop until he arrives at the place
where the dummy dead man is lying
on the ground. There each man must
dismount, cigarette In mouth and open
ed umbrella in hand, pick up the dead
man, again remount, and the first one
back to the starting point is declared
the winner If he has complied with the
rules.
Most horses are easily frightened at
an open umbrella, and many times
when the rider dismOunts for the dead
man, many ludicrous things happen in
the effort of the rider to again mount
his horse, which at times becomes 50
funny that the spectators fairly scream
with laughter.

SOME OF THE ODDITIES
TURNED UP BY SCIENCE

What most excites our wonder at
the present day is perhaps the extreme
sensitiVeneSs of man-made instru-
ments. The bolometer of DR.. Lang
ley amazed us twenty years ago by
measuring temperatures to the one
hundred thousanth Of a degree, but
as now improved 1t records easily the
one-hundred millionth of a degree. The
coherer responds to electric waves in
calculably reduced by scattering to all
parts Of sphere having a radius Of
5000 miles. The most delicate bal
ance may weigh millionth of a gram
or less Of some substances, but the
electrometer Is now dealing with the
even more lnconce1Vably small. We
are told, in fact, that If 1000 grams
Of thorium gave out the thousanth Of
a gram of emanation in a million years
the radiation from one gram in one
second would be sufficient to affect the
electrometer.
Some bacteria, large fungi and rot
ten wood are known to glow in the
dark, but shrubs and Towering plants
are not usually credited with the prop
erty of phosphorescence. DR.. H. Beck
urtz, however, has lately discovered
an old record of phosphorescence In
an Indian grass known to the Brah-
minis as "diotishmati." The account
is Of much interest to botanists, but
while the plant has not been identi-
fed with certainty, it is concluded that
the observer was led into error by
phosphorescent bacteria on the grass.
The late discovery in Strawberries of
salicyl1c acid, specific in acute rheu-
matism, has seemed to confirm the idea
that these berries are q desirable ar
ticle of food for rheumatics. The eff
feet of the fruit cannot be due to the
salicylic acid, however, as less than
the hundredth Of grain per pound
is found.
National success has become large
ly a matter of fuel supply, and alco-
hol fuel seems likely to form the basis
OF Germany'S future prosperity. While
this product of the farms rs being
cheapened by scientific methods, i'm
proved apparatus is making its use
more economical. The state railways
of Prussia are among the large users
of power that are striving TO develop
the new fuel, and In their expert
ments at the close Of 1902 they were
pumping water with &c medium and
small motors and were lighting vari-
GUS places with 1000 incandescent
lamps burning alcohol. The engines
are run effectively at almost exactly
the same cost as with petroleum oil.
For the same light with ordinary
lamps the alcohol has proven much
more expensive than paraff1n. but 1t
Is believed that the incandescent al
cohol lamps will make the cost about
the same. Improvements are needed
to adapt the alcohol lamps to rough
usage on trains and to make them
odorless.
