A MUSICAL EDUCATION
An Chadren May Enjoy HI Refining
Influence at Practically No Cost.
USE OF PIANOS FREE
For Six Months Offered BY the F. G.
Smith Piano Co., 1225 Pa. Ave.

Mr.. w. p. Van wickle Of the F. g. Smith
Piano Company, 1905 Penna. ave-, has expressed
himself very much gratifed at the public APP
probation Of the offer Of his company to give the
use of q good, serviceable piano free for six
months to any parents who desire to give their
children a musical education, but have not the
proper facilities for practice at home. That this
oner, which has never been made before In Wash
ingtOn, is being appreciated is shown by the num-
Der Of parents who have already taken advantage
Of 1t. Almost everybody recognizes the refining
influences OF n musical education for children. 1t
gives them an entree in cultured society circles
and puts them at ease in any company. Besides
there is a practical advantage which must not he
overlooked. Thousands Of young men and women
are making livelihood from music. and In add
ton to being fine accomplishment 1t IL also a
bread-earning profession.
The +. G. Smith Plano Company Is prepared to
furnish a small piano for small parlors. a large
plano for large drawing rooms, just preferred.
There Is absolutely no charge for the use Of the
piano for six months, and a fine hardwood stool
to match the piano. and a ware room cover, Is
also loaned, free Of charge. You pay only the
cost Of drayage II after using the plano free for
six months you desire to retain 1t you may DO go
by paying small monthly rental or purchase 1t
outright at a nominal figure. In addition to the
parents who are applying for these pianos the
company have received also a number Of applica-
lions from music teachers. who may obtain the
Of piano free for six months for any Of their
pupils who desire it. Any one who will call at the
F. G. Smith Company Ware Rooms. 1226 Penna
ave.. may obtain full information in regard to this
generous offer, and there is better time to start
the children in music than right now during their
summer vacation, while they have plenty Of time
for practice. 1t

Drainage for Good Roads.
From the Engineering Record.


1t is instructive to observe how steadily
the feeling Is growing that drainage and
not thickness of metaling Is the main es-
sential In road building. However much we
may respect the memories Of Macadam,
Telford and other great road builders who
BILE method of construction for country
highways, the fact remains that many OF
their recommendations are now known to
be misleading. Their advice was impor-
tant at the time when 1t was given, but 1t
Is not in keeping with the broader knowl-
edge OF the present time. gained by care
full examination of roads built in strict
conformity with well known specifications
Years ago the theory of thin roads, with
V-shaped drain along the center received
favor. This V-shaped drain Is as effective
both for removing the water and support
ing the metaling as side drains and a Tel
ford base. Its cost is approximately IT
cents per linem foot Of road less than con-
struction with a Telford base and two
drains, and So cents less than the SANG
base with a single side DRAIN
This system of construction Is directly
opposite to that advocated in most Of the
accepted manuals on the subject. The old
Idea has been to get the water off the road
bed just as quickly as possible. To accom-
plish this the subgrade has been crowned
and rolled and the lower courses of stone
are coarse and often Of considerable thick
ness. BY the new system Of construction
the water remains on the roadbed and is
collected by the outlet drains at bO-foot
points. the drainage not being distributed
along each side Of the road, but concen-
trated at regular series OF points.

THE DEADLY CHA MONSTER.
Efforts Made to Learn the Only Anti
dote for the Poison.

From the Philadelphia Record
Although rattlesnakes are considered dan
gerous from a poisonous standpoint they
are very insignificant when compared with
the dreaded ella monster of the sandy
deserts of the southwestern United States
Professor William Wetherbee who has been
studying these desert creatures, has made
a number of very interesting and important
discoveries as to their nature and general
habits. This lizard-shaped animal when full
grown measures about eighteen inches in
length, and in girth is about the size of an
ordinary boys arm. Its tail composes one
third the length of its body. and its skin
is Of a pustular nature and motley in COL
or, giving reddish yellow and brown eff
feet. Its legs are placed on it's body similar
In character to those of a lizard, but it has
none of the rapidity in movements Of that
desert. and delights in heat ranging about
135 degrees. According to Professor Weth-
erbee. science does not know Of a single
antidote to the poison emitted from this
animal and 1t was in hope Of discovering
such that he made a recent sojourn in the
deserts of Arizona and California. The rapid
increase of settlers in this section of the
country, owing to the recent strides made
by the reclamation projects, has made II
necessary for the authorities to look to
their safety from this dreaded animal
since the departure OF the Indians from
thls part OF the country these monsters
., ne
dams killed them off formerly in large
quantities. The Haulipis a tribe of Next
can Indians, are said to have a remedy for
the bite OF the CHA monster. but this, how
ever. Is kept secret by the tribe and all the
inducements SO far made have been without
results In trying to obtain even the small
est portion OF this coveted antidote. The
president Of Mexico himself even went
among the Indians and tried to secure the
secret. Unlike most poisons of animals
which are generally Of an acid composition
this exception is alkaline in nature Death
soon follows the bite Of the animal During
the professors experiment a Mexican as
sistant was caught by the thumb by one of
the animals, and the result was he died
within twenty minutes, after first falling
into stupor. Another case was noted of q
half Mexican girl who had been bitten. Sbs
at first was seized with paralysis little
later she cried that her head was splitting
Gradually the pain. however, left her and
few minutes before expiring she lansed
into Inconsistencies During these deveI-
opments she lived about two hours and n
half after being bitten. Next summer prof
Wetherbec intends going among the HuaE
pis and trying to secure by fair or unfair
means the secret Of this tribe as regards
the antdote.

A Turbines Storm Test.
From the New'York World.


The voyage of the steamer Turbinia from
Newcastle England, where she was built,
to North Sydney. N. s., furnished a pretty
good test of the turbine engine. Although

ing designed for passenger service on Lake
Ontario, and scales only 1000 TONS she

distance and plunged through huge seas
in a driving storm with but the least
vibration.
The fact that the two great Cunard
liners which are being built upon a con-
tract with the British government are to
be propelled by turbine engines means that
the new form of applying power has passed
the stage of experiment. The absence of
disagreeable vibration In the Turbinia
which is the first merchant steamer driven
by turbine across the Atlantic, is one of
the marked merits Of the new system
Power is applied at so many points that
the galloping motion 80 noticeable In all
the ocean greyhounds" OF the day is re-
placed by a steady, continuous thrust. The
turbine engines save coal economize
power pack more conveniently in a shir
and use less space than the hitherto uni
versaI reciprocal type. They are evidently
destined to revolutionize the science Of
marine construction

fellow that would measure extended about

AS these two big bullfrogs sit, placidly,

down over the tank, says TO the bigger
one:
Now, will you shake hands today"
And reaching down he takes the big bull
frogs right forward foot and shakes IL
gently, the hullfrog sitting meanwhile per-
fectly quiet and apparently in no wise dis
turbed. Perhaps II does not really UNDER

Is so tame that 1t permits it. anyway
Then the man shakes hands with tho
other big bullfrog I'm like manner, this Sec
ond one submitting to the handshake with

1t is not uncommon for fishes in captiv-
ity to become, with uniformly gentle treat
ment, so tame that they will feed from tho
hand; but tame bullfrogs are something
new in New York.
