THE ENJOYS
ASSEMBLE
MADE PROFOUND BOWS BUT DIDN'T
SHAKE HANDS. THE INITIAL
CONFERENCE WAS HELD
is OPPOSITION TO A TRUCE
Until The Success Of The Negotiations
is Assured

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug, TO-
The day which was TO bring the
initial meeting of Russian and
japanese peace plenipotentiaries at
the navy yard here, opened with
delightful conditions.
The members of both the Russi-
an and japanese missions we're
early about the hotel and with the
exception of M. Witte and Baron
Rosen breakfasted in the main
dining room. AS several of the
Russians we're ccming out Of the
dining room this morning they met
two of the japanese entering. They
exchanged profound bows but did
not shake hands. Baron Komura
and Mr.. Takahira and Secretary
Adatoi left the Hotel Wentworth
by automobile for the navy yard
at o.55 O'Clock. They were greet
ed on the veranda by Acting Sec
retary Pierce and Governor Nc
Lane. M. Witte and Baron Rosen
departed shortly after in another
automobile, leaving by secondary
entrance which leads to their apart
ments.
There were many people wait ng
on the veranda of the hotel to wit
ness the departure of the ENJOYS.
With the approach Of the hour
of meeting the feeling became more
pronounced that an armistic would
not be agreed upon until the sue
icess Of the negotiations was assur-
ed. The known opposition Of
Japan 10 this formality, and the
hearty support which London is
understood to have given to it, is
believed has operated to minimize
the wish of the Russians for q
signed truce. Another cause fol
their willingness not to press fol
an armistice at the first meeting j.
believed to be the recent opposition
said to have manifested itseli
among the Russian forces at The
front against peace negotiations
1t is felt that 10 ask them t
sign a truce might have a bad ef
feet upon their spirits and serve tC
increase their opposition to tn,
ending of the war.
1t was arranged that the pleni
potentiaries should make the tril
in two big automobiles which haC
been sent for their use, instead o
by launch, which is expected to b
the usual method. 1t took abou
half an hour to cover the sis
miles from the hotel to the navy
yard and it was 10 80 o'clock whel

Wonderful Alabama Cat

had cat Once remarkably intelli-
gent, even for cat. He could turn a
knob Of door with his paws, fetch the
paper when it was thrown over the
fence, carry notes to the grocers, and
perform other stunts creditable alike
to his head and heart.
One night l was reading rather late
in the sitting room. when noticed the
cat rub up against my leg and start
for the door, and when l failed to fol.
low he would return and repeat the
performance. Alcibiades that was the
name Of the cat was SO insistent that
finally decided to follow him. He led
me up the stairs and into a room. Go.
Ing up to closet the cat tapped UPON
the door with its paw. Understanding
the mute request, / opened the door
and much to my astonishment discoy-
cred negro man crouched down in a
corner Of the closet. l seized him and
with the help of other members of the
household delivered him at the station

On one side the extension Is divided
into suitable sections, each section
controlled by brake operated by
means of lever placed opposite the
entrance of the chute. By operating
the lever the lower end of the exten-
sion is pulled across the surface of the
chute toward the opposite side. When
the barrel has been started on its jour
ney down the chute it naturally gains
momentum, but by application Of the
brake Of the first section its speed Is
diminished, or 1t can be stopped en-
tirely. AS it passes through each sec
ton the necessary brake is applied, so
that it can be brought gradually to a
stapdstill at the bottom.

Heroisni in Animals,

Animals are capable Of what we
should call heroism in man. In one
field was a donkey, in another horse.
Through the first went mastiff and
made for the ass, seized him by the
throat, pulled him down, and that SO
suddenly that the donkey looked like
ly to be killed. The horse in the next
field leaped the hedge dividing the two
pastures, collared the dog with his
teeth, swung him on the fall-ball
teeth, swung him and like a baseball
player caught him on the fall-with
his heels. The mastiff was whisked
over the hedge which the horse had
just crossed, and the donkey was left
in peace to recover from his wounds

Delivery Chute.

Many Of the numerous inventions
patented contain novelties more theo.
retical than practical, and for this rea-

ideas are generally good, but when it
comes to putting them in use it Is
often impossible to do so. A delivery
chute, which is exceedingly novel in
It's features, is shown in the illustra-
ton, and it is device that could read
lily be used for a great many purposes.
1t is a common sight to see several
men delivering barrels and storing

usual method being to allow the barrel

man is called upon to enter build
ing full of dense smoke, to rescue
some person who has already been
overcome, and the wonder is that he
is not supplied with some protection
for his own life. There does not seem
to be any reason why he should not,
for instance, wear an apparatus like
the one shown in the illustration. He
could then with absolute safety to
himself enter any burning building,
with an added chance of saving any
lives that might be endangered. The

proof fabric, to be placed over the
head of the wearer, with glass clos
ures for openings for the eyes. There
is also cap opposite the mouth. which
closes against air from without, but
opens for the discharge of exhaled air
which has been breathed. Reservoirs
which contain compressed air or oXy-
gen for sustaining life are attached
to the back Of the wearer by straps,
and connected by tube to the back Of
the hood, with valves for regulating
the supply. The compressed air can
thus be readily supplied from the res
ervoirs to the interior of the hood, to
be breathei by the wearer. After en-
tering a building filled with smoke a
fireman using this apparatus could re-
main for some time, while his hands
and arms would be free.

SMOKING A CIGAR.

81 have a customer who thinks he

daler. ''As a matter Of
fact, he gives away many OF them
and throws away some that are only
partly consumed. However, he is firm
in the belief that he smokes more ac-
tual tobacco than any man In New
York, and a boast on the subject in
my store yesterday led to curious
bet.
"He declared, to begin with, that he
could smoke three ordinary cigars in
half an hour. A bystander remarked
that no man alive could smoke even
cne cigar continuously until it was
consumed without taking it from his
lips. 'Boshr said my man. I do that

poses as well. The clock is set similar

tachment for regulating and project
ing a trigger at the time determined.
A match Is inserted in a slot designed
for that purpose, and when the right
moment has arrived the trigger Is re-
leased, which projects a bolt in con-
tact with the match. The surface Of
the bolt is rough, so that the friction
which is caused by coming in contact
with the head Of the match ignites the
latter.
