GIRLS SKIN CHANGES HUE.
Nearly All the Colors Of the Rainbow
Become Visible

A dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from
Paris says: Miss Marga Cerbus a Rou-
manian girl, whose skin possesses the re-
markable property of changing color in
sympathy with her varying sensations, is
the physiological sensation of the day
among Partisan scientists. Her skin does
not reflect the colors in her vicinity, but a
complete change is produced by the differ
ent emotions she feels.
Anger makes it much darker than that Of
a negress. JOY turns it to a pretty pink
shade. Anxiety causes her to assume a
pale greenish tint. Fear turns half her
body beautiful violet complexion.
The most extraordinary feature Of the
case Is that the colors rarely comningle,
and for the greater part of the time changes
take place without any apparent cause.
Her natural color is a warm. dark shade.
Sometimes the face turns suddenly to a
deadly white, while the rest Of the body
remains unchanged. At other times an
arm the neck, hand or foot turns
different shade according to the sensation
experienced. The only time the skin re-
mains without variation is when she is
asleep.
These curious variations In skin have only
made their appearance since she met with
boating accident in which she nearly
drowned.

Laurel and Vicinity.

LAUREL, Md, January 13, 1903
Pursuant to a call issued by Mr.. David
NJ Fisher. chief of the local volunteer fire
department, a large number of the men,
bers OF the department assembled last
evening at the town hall for the purpose of
selecting new committee to take in hand
the matter of holding fair and a series of
suppers and entertainments, the proceeds
of which will be devoted to the better
equipment of the department. Mr. Fisher
was unanimously chosen chairman of the
committee, with Mr.. Charles L. Young as
assistant. Chairman Fisher selected his
associates, as follows: Messrs. Edward
Phelps and Albin Fairall of Company No. 1,
A. Goznell and H. E. Mccullough of Com
George Levison of Company No. 3.
There is a possibility that the Laurel and
Berwyn electric road will be continued from
its terminus in this town across country to
Savage, thriving town about three miles
distant from Laurel, in Howard county,
thence down to Annapolis Junction. From
Annapolis Junction, it is stated, the road
will make connection with the Washington,
Annapolis and Baltimore electric railroad
in the vicinity Of Odenton, thus establishing
complete connection with Baltimore and
Washington.
The matter Of the proposed continuation
Of the electric road was brought to the at
tention of the town council last evening by
Mayor G. B. Tfmanus, and the announce
approval. Mayor Timanus stated that the
construction of the road through to Savage
would be of very great advantage to Lau-
rel.
Mr.. Harry +. Frost Of Laurel, travelling
salesman related an amusing incident rela-
tive to the present coal situation Mr. Frost
was canvassing the country about HaVre
de Grace during the early period of the coal
trouble. At Perryville he stated. there
are sidings for the use of storing cars, load
ed and unloaded, and it happened that
ballast car was switched off one evening,
the contents of which were to be used the
next day in the repair of certain parts of
the road further on. Broken ballast is
about the size of the ordinary stove coal.
During the night in question the car was
detached from it's train and pushed quite
distance down the track. The next day
when the trainmen were about to start for
their days work the ballast car was not
in it's usual place. and upon investigation it
was found considerable distance from the
position it occupied the night before. 1t
was further noticed that several tons of the
stone had been removed. Where it went,
or by whom appropriated, Mr.. Frost was
unable to learn, but there is little doubt
that it had been carried away in the night
by parties who supposed it was coal.

OREGON IN A TYPHOON.
Big Battle Ship Badly Damaged En-
Route to Honolulu.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Tacoma, Wash, says: Midship-
man John H. Blackburn has written to his
father a graphic story of the experience of
the battelship Oregon in a typhoon while en-
route to Honolulu last month. Young
Blackburn says:
ION the morning Of November 20 the
barometer dropped rapidly and we made
all preparations to secure for the storm. BY
noon the wind had increased to a gale, and
at / o'clock the captain deemed 1t best to
heave to. At 5 o'clock the starboard life
boat was battered to pieces and cut adrift.
At that night was called to the bridge.
The waves were about sixty-f1ve feet high,
though they looked double that.
"At II o'clock, without any warning, the
steering gear became disabled. The storm
was hurricane to shame Kansas cyclone
In the forty seconds required to connect the
reverse steering gear the ship turned bit
in her course and the sea struck her abaft
the beam. CHANGING to my left l saw
great wave of green sea coming into the
chart house. l yelled hold fast to the cap
tain and navigator and was washed against
the side Of the house Jumping to my feet
carried a message to the deck officer to run
before it, a last resort, and in this case
successful one. The superstructure and
main deck were waist deep with water and
men were swimming from their hammocks.
After midnight went down to the berth
deck and found everybody bailing The
electric lights were out
Next morning the wind had gone down
but we had been carried 100 miles out of
our course. Both lifeboats were lost, two
cutters and the captains gig were in kind
lingwood. One steam launch had its back
broken. Two of the three dynamos were
ruined. For while the electricians work
ed in temperature of 147 degrees; thew
could only work five minutes at a. time. The
loss to the ship will not be less than $780,

Problem Of Phonetic Spelling.
From the Chicago Record Herald.


Among the improvements in spelling that
are suggested by the State Teachers Asso-
citation are "altho" for although and
''thoro' for Thorough If the letters in
the two substitutes are to have the same
phonetic value directions are still required
as to how the words should be pronounced.
The dictionaries indicate by special mark
ings that the 9TH" in though" and the
''th' in thorough are not pronounced
alike. They further indicate the pronuncia-
ton Of thorough by spelling the first syl-
liable thur and giving a special mark to
the "u," while they accept 20" as the
vowel sound of though" The truth is
that with the paucity of letters and the
multiplicity of sounds the simplicity that is
aimed at is impossible. That is why the oc-
casional use of abbreviated forms in good
literature has never provoked general irni-
tation. There are always differences to be
explained. and it is of no practical import
ance whether the explanations relate to
although and thorough" or to "altho'
and "thoro.''

London's Water Supply.
From the London Chronicle.

Now that the water supply for London is
once more to be discussed it may be worth
while to recall the ancient sources Of this
supply. These were the Fleet river. Holy
WELL Clements well, Clerks well, Tyburn
and Walbrook. Water was first brought
from Tyburn to the city in 1885: the first
city conduit supplied with Thames water
was the one at Dowgate, in 1868; and the
first engine that conveyed water into
houses through lead pipes was constructed
on London bridge In 1852, by Peter Nor
rfs, a Dutchman In 1910 an amusing en-
try in an old London chronicle shows the
value attached to water at that time: This
we're wex chandler in Flete-street had
bi craft perced a pipe Of the condit
w1thynne the ground, and SO conveied the
water into his selar; wherefore he was
jugid to ride thurgh the Citee with a condit
upon his hedde." A common way Of OBJ
tanning water in those days was to send to
the nearest conduit or stream for 1t, and
part Of the apprentices ordinary equip
ment was the water tankard with which he
fetched water from the Thames or else
where for his masters house
A little later than these primitive days
we find an attempt at some sort of water
works in Sir Hugh Myddleton's plan, in
1913, for supplying the city from the
streams of Amwell and Ware by means of
conduits; but only the principal thorough
fares were thus supplied private houses
being served from the works only twice a.
week; and even the Strand and Covent Car
den were not supplied, except by water
tanka1ds, until the great waterwork was
erected on the Thames in front of Somerset
House. in 1856. The queen of Charles H.
however, had this pulled down, as it spoil
ed the river view, and the district had no
more water until the Adelphi waterworks
were put up in William HIS reign. One

having very little attention paid to her ex-
cept by her father and mother. Queen
Margherita has been contented to send her
love by post and by telegraph, and has not
moved from Racconigi to Rome, where It
is the rainy season. The Princess of Monte

ably at home, deferrng the pleasure of see

to be fair, while her sister is dark Prin-

called a pretty child. She has inherited

which are long and almond shaped.

Fon PuUE FOOD,

The pure food bin that passed the
house a couple Of months ago. and Is
now before the senate, can be endorsed
and supported BY all who believe In
honesty IN trade. It does not prohibit
the placing on the market Of foods and
drugs that are adulterated provided the
authorizations are not injurious 70 the
health Of the consumers but It does
provide that such aduterated products
shall be placed on the market under
their true names II does provide that
the public he made acquainted with the
ingredients Of which the product is
composed. Then If they desire to buy.
the pure food bin does not object This
is fair both to manufacturers. dealers,
and consumers.
II Is no secret that the most shame
ful frauds are being perpetrated upon
the public, IN the matter Of food and
drugs, And as long as the placing Of
false labels on the goods is not pun
lshable offense, there IS no help for It.
And yet, Is Il less culpable to sell adj
liberated food, than It is to dispose Of
a brass brick for genuine gold2 The
bin now under consideration is designed
TO protect the honest manufacturer
against unsorupulous competitors, safe
guard interstate commerce In foods,
preventing the invasion from state to
State OF mlsbranded foods or those con-
tanning deleterlous products. II Is in
tended to promote the public health by
excluding from food products added
deleterlous substances. us aim Is 10
protect the consumer everywhere
against fraud and disease. It should
have the support Of all Interested ia
