Detained by Fog.

The Norfolk steamers Newport News
and Washington arrived up this morn
ing about two hours late, they having
been compelled to anchor last night by
reason of Jog. In passing Fishtown on
her way to Washington the swells from
the Newport News created some havoc
along the wharf upsetting small beat
and throwing the occupants into the
water. Several other foot boats were
more or less damaged.

CAMPAIGN POETS
Are Up Against Hard Proposition
in This Year of 1904.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.)
"The campaign poets are up against
the real thing as a result of the two
recent national conventions, said a
man who likes to dig at the humber
singers, "and it would seem that both
the Republicans and the Democrats
deliberately disregarded the poet s
rights in these circumstances. They
paid absolutely no attention to the
question of rhyme, and no doubt each
party will insist that the other paid
but little attention to reason in lie
matter of making nominations for
President and Vice President. Take
the work of the Republicans at Chi
cago for instance. No decent and
well regulated poet would attempt to
find word that would rhyme with
Roosevelt or Fairbanks. Such thing
is simply out of the question. The
Doetizer who can find a word to rhyme
with Roosevelt ought to get a cicgar
md another throw. In the first place,
the letters used in spelling the name
giveno clew to the pronunciation of it.
The daily palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1904-1905, 1904-07-16

Down South we pronounce the name
as if spelled Rezeyfelt, or sometimes
Ruzefelt. Up the country where the
President himself has set the pace in
pronouncing his name, he is called
Rosefelt. But in any event the rhyme
maker is up against it. The recent
Democratic convention at St. Louis
was of the same kind so far as the
poet is concerned. There may be
words in the English language that
will jingle with Parker, and with Da-
Wis, but the man who sits down to
hammer out verse will find some
difficulty before he has finished the
work. The poet is simply in hard lines
so far as the Presidential campaign
Of 1904 is concerned. If any of the
holder members attempt to weld eth
er Of these names into rhyme he will
be taking desperate chances, and will
probably have to starin a point, and
seek rather questionable refuge in po-
etic license in order to make the thing

my and discouraging for the campaign

NEW WAY TO CUT TREES.
ElectrfcalIy Heated Platinum Wire
Does Work of Saw In Much
Less Time.

1t is reported in the German press
that successful experiments have been
made in various forests of France in
cutting trees by means Of electricity.
A platinum wire is heated to q white
heat by an electric current and used
like saw. In this manner the tree
Is felled much easier and quicker than
in the old way; no sawdust is pro-
duced, and the slight carbonization
caused by the hot wire acts as pre-
servative Of the wood. The new meth
cd is said to require only one-eighth
of the time consumed by the old saw
ing process.
une, this system will doubtless find
trial in the United States OF course,
it is necessary to provide source Of
electricity, and unless the latter is
cheap the operation just described
would not be economical. However,
nearly all districts in which timber is
cut are provided with streams, and
these can often be utilized for power.
Only small head would be necessary
for this purpose. America has been
so enterprising in the application of
electricity to industry that it is won
derful that another country should
have had chance to anticipate it in
any manner The consular report, in
which the news is conveyed, supplies
no details, however, and it Is impos-
sible to say how extensively the plan
has been adopted.

HOUSEKEEPING SYNDICATE.
Thirteen Families in New York State
Try Cooperative Boarding to
Solve Servant Problem.

In the enterprising town of Holly,
Orleans county, N. Y, new movement
has been started, with the object of
solving the servant girl problem, says
the Buffalo Commercial.
Thirteen families, comprising 29 per-
sons of the best social and business
standing, have formed a cooperative
boarding association, all members to
bear an equal share of the expenses.
Gradually the various objections
were overcome, and the members are
not only well satisfied with the prog
ress made, but think that in a short
time a noticeable decrease in their iiv-
ing expenses will be evident
Upon joining the association, mem
bers contributed IS to create a fund
with which to equip the kitchen. With
this money two ranges and dishes of
every description have been purchased;
also other articles necessary to the
culinary department In the dining
room each family furnishes the table
linen, dishes and other articles for it's
own use
All expenses for provisions and the
services of the cooks and mattresses
are then borne pro rata by the mem
bers.. There will be considerable curl
osity to know whether the experiment
can be made permanent success.

A WONDER OF ELECTRICITY.
Wet COmmuter Finds a New Use for
Incandescent Bulbs and Is
Made Happy.

81 was caught in the deluge the other
day, and in spite of raincoat and UNI
brella arrived at my Office thoroughly
soaked from my knees down." said sad
eyed suburbanite who was recounting
the joys of country life, to the New
York Sun reporter. 'fI knew that to sit
ut my desk all day with wet feet and
legs meant a severe cold or worse, and
was in wretched state
81 sat with the cold, wet things max
ing me more and more miserable, when
suddenly 1 had an idea. In my office
are number of swinging incandescent
lights suspended by the wires only.
Loosening the surplus wire to give the
lights more play and removing the light
shades, l turned on the current and,
resting my legs on chair, pushed light
up each leg of my trousers to point be-
tween the knee and ankle.
"The heat from the lights was just
the right quantity, and in about half
minute my legs began to feel a warm
glow that was delightful, and the steam
rose in miniature clouds.
