FORTUNE HUNTERS.
Marriages of Many American Girls of
Wealth to Titled Foreigners
Turn Out Unfortunately.

The marriage of many American
girls of wealth to titled foreigners is
just now receiving more than usual
attention. The disclosures regarding
the post-wedding experience of some
of the brides who have left their
homes and native land to become the
wives of real or bogus noblemen of
Europe are in many cases humiliating
and distressing.
Margaret Van Etten in a cabled ar
ticle from Vienna gives few of the
names of American women who have
come to grief by such foreign alliances.
There are thirteen on her list, and the
number might be increased by a thor
ough study of the newspaper files. Ev-
cry woman mentioned married title,
and most, if not all Of them, were
subjects of extensive newspaper notice
when their weddings occurred. Their
triumph was in the blaze of publicity;
been chiefly in private. In every case
cited these women have either secured
divorces or are living apart from their
husbands.
Some of the daughters of Americans
of wealth, says the Rochester Demo-
crat and Chronicle, have contracted
happy marriages with foreigners and
by their subsequent lives have reflect
ed honor upon their native land in
their new homes. There is no reason
why an English nobleman should not
fall in love with rich American girl
and marry her, precisely as he might
have loved and married a poor Eng
1ish girl. 1t is not such cases which
are open to criticism, but the numer-
Gus alliances which are clearly the pro-
duct of fortune-hunting negotiators.

PUZZLES THE WISEST MEN.
Why the Intestines Do Not Digest
Themselves Is a PrObfem-COn-
illusions of One Scientist.

The digestive tube is filled with fer
ments capable of attacking, Of destroy
ing and of Transforming the food with
which they come in contact, but these
ferments attack neither the walls OF the
intestines nor the parasites which often
live in abundance on these walls, says
Public Opinion. What causes this con-
dition? The question has often been
discussed and now the researches OF M.
E. Weinland on the tryptic ferment
again bring the matter forward.
In 1891 Frenzel stated that he believed
the protection enjoyed by the intes-
tines was due to the antiferments which
are secreted by the living tissues. An
experiment Of M. Weinland along this
line is very interesting A mixture was
made of fbrine and Of trypsine or OF
pepsin and the whole was placed to d.
gest after little juice Of ascaris was
added. No digestion occurred. The eX-
pertinent may be prolonged indefinitely.
but the ferment does not attack the
fibrine when the anti-ferment is pres
ent. Thus it is not the living tissues
which resist digestion. but the juices
which impregnate them and which they
secrete.

NEW IDEAS ON SUNSTROKE.
After-Dinner Work in Stagnant Heat
Produces ExhaustiOn-WOme
Are the Worst Sufferers.

"Stagnant indoor heat is more OPP
pressive than outdoor heat" writes DR..
F. l.. Oswald, in the Home Science Maya
zine Indoor warmth. intensified by
stove fires, often approaches the horrors
of the Calcutta black hole, or the swelter
den of Dante's Inferno; and to that COM
bination of discomforts civilized men
doom their sisters and mothers. In
midsummer the sunstroke wards of New
England hospitals are crowded with male
patients. who often have worked only on
the shady side of the streets, and with
still larger number of women. who can
not plead guilty to outdoor imprudence
of any kind. They have been overcome
by the heat, and in nine out of ten cases
by the afternoon heat of i'll ventilated
kitchens and Mushrooms, dining-rooms
and nurseries, by vitiated air cooperat-
ing with the exhausting effects Of high
temperature, at time when the resist
ing ability of the system was impaired
by the exigencies of digestion. In other
words, sunstrokes and all their pre-
monitory symptoms are the effects Of
hard after-dinner work in warm wealth

BOX OFFICE SUPERSTITION.
Why the CrOss-Eyed Man Got Four
Good Seats at the Theater
for Nothing.

A newspaper man was the second in
line at the box Office of one of the popular
theaters the other evening on the open
ing night, says the New York Times.
"Oh, that's all right. There's no
charge at all for those seats"
The man looked surprised, thanked the
ticket manipulation. and went On. Then
the newspaper man had his turn, and he
said:
please satisfy impertinent curiosity
and tell me why you wouldn't take that

MIRACLE OF CONSTRUCTION.
OrOya Railroad in Peru Cost 1911 ,594
Fer Mile-ObStacIes That Had
to BE overcome.

The two Americans who construct
ed the Oroyo road, Messrs. Meiggs and
Thorndike, were considered nearly
crazy when they proposed it, says the
Worlds Work.
1t was necessary to carry the road
bed for miles through galleries cut in
the solid face of the rock, and the
workmen engaged in cutting the gall
leries were in many cases lowered in
cages from the cliffs above. More than
60 tunnels had to be cut in the course OF
construction, one the famous Galera
tunnel, one and One-half miles in length,
the highest engineering project or It's
kind on earth.
1t is on this road that the signal
achievement of constructing lofty steel
bridge connecting two tunnels was &C
compIished. In building this bridge,
which spans a crevice 575 feet wide and
hundreds of feet deep, it was necessary
to lower all material from the top OF
the cliffs by wire cables. The whole
stupendous task was made possible only
by the liberal use of the "V switch or
"switchback." In one instance OF the
Peruvian railroad it was found neces-
sary to construct a switchback in the
side of the mountain. the train heading
in on the lower level and backing out
through an upper tunnel almost exact
ly above. The cost of the Oroya rail-
road, when completed, was $43.OOO,OOO'
or s311 1874 a mile, making it one of the
most costly roads in the world.

having a Home in Denmark.

Any sober, reliable farm laborer in
Denmark, who has saved one-tenth the
mortgage value of the little farm he
covets-this value not to exceed 81 100
can buy the land by borrowing the other
nine-tenths from a government fund.
He gives a mortgage on which he pays
three per cent. After five years he also
pays one per cent. additional toward
wiping out half his debt. When this half
has been paid he pays S11s per cent. on the
remainder until he owns the land. A CO.
operative dairy buys his cream and re-
turns to him the skinned milk for his
hogs. The latter go to the cooperative
bacon factory, and the local branch of
a conr arative egg exporting house re-
ceives mis- eggs.

VOLCANOES.
Outbreak OF Subterranean Fires Can
BE Counted on to Occur with
Considerable Regularity.

Mount Vesuvius was active again
last month, after a long period of in
ternal rumblings, but its activity was
neither strange nor unexpected. AL
though not in state of continual erup-
ton, this volcano pours forth lava with
unusual frequency. It's most disastrous
eruption was rivaled last year by the
explosion of Mont Pelee in Martin
ique. Within twelve months Strom-
boil. in Sicily, Santa Maria in Guate-
mala; Colima in Mexico, and less
known volcanoes in Samoa and other
parts of the world have been active.
The outbreak of the subterranean
fires. says the Youths Companion, can
be counted on to occur with consider
able regularity. Year in and year out
the newspapers will contain just about
so many reports of volcanic life; just
as. one century with another, the num-
Der of disasters from food and storm
will average the same, shipwrecks will
recur with unchanging frequency, and
crimes of violence will repeat them
selves with substantial uniformity.
To the student of statistics the round
of repetition seems to go on unceasing-
ly, this year repeating last year, and
so on back to the beginning But as
Howells has well said in. one of his
wise and philosophic poems, the round
is spiral and each year finds the human
family a little higher in it's struggle
upward, even though the phenomena
of inanimate nature may persist with
apparently unvarying regularity.

WANT MONEY EXPENDED.
Cathedral Heights Citizens Endeavor
to Solve Doubts.

A delegation Of citizens, residing on WIS
consin avenue, or owning property there
on. and representing the Cathedral
Heights Citizens Association, appeared be-
fore the District Commissioners in board
session this morning to urge the use OF the
%, 600 which has been appropriated by Con-
gress for the improvement of Wisconsin
avenue, or Tenleytown road. in cutting
down what is known Deep Cut Hill"
which rises between 37th street and Massa-
chusetts avenue. Among those present at
the hearing were Messrs. c. c. Glover, II.
II. Goldsborough, p; S. Alv3rd, John , y.
Laren, T. Gushing Daniel, ]. Nota McGlll
and George a. Hill.
There has been much discussion to
the method of spending the money The
Commissioners asked Congress for an APP
preparation of $4,000, which it was intend
ed should be used In cutting down the hill
in question, as to reduce the heavy grade
just north of the trolley power house. Con-
gress only allowed 5000. and the District
engineer department is doubtful whether
the necessary grading through Deep Cut
Hill'' can be done for the amount at hand.
1t was suggested by Colonel Biddle. the En-
gineer Commissioner, that the money
should be spent in resurfacing the thor
oughfare north of the hill and out to the
District line. This plan is understood to be
agreeable to a number of the residents.
The advocates of the cutting down of the
hill. however, We're asked for expression
of opinion, and this morning they express
ed their wishes in emphatic manner 1t
was argued that great deal could be ac-
complished with the $1,000 available. and
that another appropriation from Congress
could be secured this winter for completing
the work. The Commissioners took the
matter under advisement.
Mr.. William Duvall appeared before the
board attorney for the proprietorS of the
automobile storage establishment at 1919 l.
street, asking that the Commissioners re-
consider their action In denying an appl
cation for the storage of gasoline beneath
the surface of the alley adjoining the
premises. There were present at this hear
ing a number of persons interested in the
establishment. and Messrs. Snowden Ash
ford, inspector of buildings. and Sidney
Bieber, fire marshal. representing the Dis
tricts interests. Under the police regula-
tions Messrs. Ashford and Bieber have sub
mitted an adverse report on the application
to the Commissioners. The matter is one

TO INJOIN THE C. AND o.
Proceedings Brought Under the Elkins
Anti Discrimination Law.

In petition addressed to the interstate
commerce commission by the United States
attorney for the western district of Vir-
ginia an injunction is asked against the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway forbidding
that railroad to continue to transport coal
and other material from the West Virginia
mines to Newport News. Va, at less than
its published rates
The coal is said to have been consigned to
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad and the proceedings are entered
into on the affidavit of w. c. Bullitt a
Philadelphia coal dealer. and the testimony
given before the interstate commerce com
mission by George W. Stevens, president
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway.
A contract was entered into between the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway and the New
York New Haven and Hartford. by which
the former was to deliver 900 600 tons Of
coal to the latter in lots of not less than
400 900 tons a year at the uniform rate Of
50 70 a ton. This rate, after deducting all
expenses Of transportation, would net the
delivering company 2Sc. per ton, and the
published tariff between the points
being 81 A. per ton. the action was brought
under the Elkins law. which passed at
the last session of Congress.
