FINDS FOUR-LEGGED CHICK En-.
Dostonian Discovers Curiosity In
the Fowl Line in the Rhode
Island Red Variety.

NJ Goodman, of AIin0t street, Bos-
ton, is showing his friends a four
legged hen which he purchased in
Pittstield, Me-, short time ago. So
far as known this is the only bird of
its kind in the world.
You will notice." said Mr.. Goodman
to reporter the other morning, that
the tail grows on the right side OF
the bird, and yet does not interfere
with the use of its wings.
Two of the legs grow in the or
binary manner and support the body
The other two are perfectly normal,
except that they grow backward in
stead of downward, and the feet are
carried closed most Of the time.
"She weighs three and one-half
pounds and was Matched on May
last" he added, showing the bill OF sale
as evidence.
The bird Is of the Rhode Island red
variety, and so highly does the owner
prize it that instead Of shipping it IL
rectly home he kept 1t with him during
four weeks business trip.
The chicken seems to be in perfect
health. and, In the words of the own
er, "she likes to have you watch her
See her strut"

Mechanics Cpn re Warmed.

The versatile kaiser of Germany, or
a recent visit to DaEtzig, investigated
workmen's homes and manner of life
and chatted with the men employed In
the government arms manuiactory.
The kaiser asked the men what rent
they paid, When told. he exclaimed:
1T is much too high"
The kaiser inquired whether the gov
eminent factory provided Kitchens
where the midday lunches could be
warmed The kaiser said to a member
of his suite: These Kitchens are as htc-
esary to workmen as for US. Tor wor!
men have Just as sensitive stcmachs as
we and Ike their food warm instead Of
cold. Besides, their wives don't have to
bring their husbands warm dinners.
They can remain at home to attend TO
the child" The result Of the kaispr's
visit will be kitchens installed in ali gov
eminent workshops.

GRAY HAIR AID X-RAY.
the Miracle LiEht-Improbabili
of Ita Success.

The X-ray seems destined in many
ways to pay the penalty Of all sorts Of
sensational reports as to its supposed
efficacy in treating lntractable diseases.
AS might have been expected. its claims
have been very much exaggerated. even
in cases that offered plausible excuses
for their possible vindication.
The latest news is to the effect that
this mysterious agency is capable Of re-
storing gray hair to its original color.
How such an effect can be brought about
no one attempts to explain. Nor would
It be wise to offer any reason for II says
the New York Herald, In the face of GER
tain well-known facts connected with
the physiology of hair and its anatomi-
cal character.
All very well know that the color of
the hair is part of its nutrition and is
dependent upon the secretion of pig
ment in certain cells in its substance.
When the hair loses its pigment vitality
grayness ensues as natural evolution
airy process. The youthful tinge disap-
pears by a common law Of progressive
decay as age advances, The hair itself
becomes virtually color dead, and all
efforts to restore Its former life are ad-
mittedly as futile as similar efforts TO
reNiyify other defunct processes.
But now the X-ray must come in a:
an alleged miracle worker ard give new
hopes for the gray heads. Alas! many
Of the latter are desperate enough in
their vanity to try any new thing that
may present itself. To such it may be
aecessary to sound note of warning.
Even II II should prove to be fact
that the X-ray can do what is claimed,
he remedy is certainly dangerous one
to become popular. II several hundred
exposures" are required, not only will
a great deal of valuable time be lost in
the sittings and many fees eXacted, but
prolonged treatment are not to be light
ly considered How to avoid the terri
BILE N-ray burns, which sometimes occur
even with experts is still great prob
itm. Edison, in r cent interview In
the Herald, emphasized this fact in n
manner not to be misunderstood. Thus
there may be a chance, with such as may
be determined to try the new thing, for
the traditional "o!d fool" to multiply
hiliself over the land.

SILK IMPORTS ENORMOUS.
Statistics by Department of Com
merce shows Large Increase in Ina
portation of the Raw Article,

The imports of raw silk In the fiscal
year recently ended were the largest
in the history of the government.
Statistics just compiled by the depart
ment of commerce and labor, through
its bureau of statistics, show that for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1905.
l5,27l.S4O pounds Of manufactured
silk, valued at sj0.ol1,Sl9, were i'm
ported, as compared with 14,2OO,0OO
pounds in 1902 and 10.4OOO00 in
1901. From this silk our manufactur-
ers will make finished products valued
at over s125, 100000.
Many attempts have been made to
produce raw silk in this country. AS
early as 1923 mulberry trees were re-
quired to be planted by all settlers In
Virginia, and some silk was grown in
the early days of the colony. In the
second quarter of the last century tire
cultivation of silk seemed to give
promise of success, but the enterprise
degenerated into speculation in Chi
nese mulberry trees, and ended in ut
ter failure. The recent experiments of
the department of agriculture are
again directing attention to the prac-
ticability of raising on our own farms
a share at least of this material,
which forms SO considerable a part Of
our imports.
During recent years the importation
of raw silk has increased almos; con-
tinuously, until in the fiscal year just
closed it amounted to over $4,000, ono.
The nearest approach to this value WAS
in 1900, when forty-fve and one-third
of dollars worth was i'm.
ported.
