ELECTRIC SHOCKS
IN HIGH ATTITUDES
Visitors From the Sea Level Much
Disturbed by the Unusual
Experiences.

'It is dangerous for me to go to bed" :"
That announcement by a stylishly
dressed woman at the desk OF the Al
bany Hotel Office one night startled
William Maher, one Of the proprietors,
who was standing at the counter.
What is the trouble?" asked Mr..
Maher, as soon as he recovered his
voice:
THE room Is filled with electricity" :"
replied the woman. IF / walk across
the floor and touch my face with my
hand there is snap, and if touch the
iron bed get shock. Why, kind sir.
it's awful! Everything touch snapsI
You might think / was some electrical
freak and belonged with some show.
But I am not. Honest, / never knew
before that my system was electrified" :"
Where is your homer" asked Mr..
Maher.
San Francisco" replied the woman.
II thought you were from the sea
level said Mr.. Maher. You have
nothing to fear. The room is not
charged with electricity. There is
nothing wrong with the telephone or
electric light wires. You see, madam,
that you are not acclimated in Denver.
The air here Is extremely dry and is
therefore subcharged with electricity,
so that you in touching iron feel
slight shock and also a slight shock
when you walk across the carpet and
then touch anything with your hand
or shake hands with anybody. You'll
get over 1t in few days.
The woman went away mystified but
satisfied, and Mr.. Maher said:
That's common complaint in every
hotel in town. Those of US who live
here will now and then feel an electric
shock by touching a conductor or when
walking over a carpet If we touch our
faces or shake hands, but we are not
as subjective to electrical influences
as those who come from sea level or
from places where the air Is moist
These people, Of course, are shocked
easily, and as 1t is new experience for
them they invariably believe that the
telephone or electric light wires are
crossed and that they are in danger Of
electrocutfon.
I'VE had a woman in the hotel last
week who was startled because when
she began to comb the hair Of her
French poodle electric currents ran up
her arms. She thought that somebody
had been playing joke on her dog.
and she was furious until / explained
to her the cause."-Denver Republican

AMERICANS NOW REFUSE
TO PAY EXCESSIVE RENT
System of Extorting Great Sums for
Houses I'm London at an
End

LONDON, Feb. ,4.-Owners Of Lon
don mansions are beginning to realize
that Americans will no longer pay ex-
orbitant prices for the luxury of pos
sessing a town residence for the sea-
son. Last year. taking advantage of the
great influx of American visitors who
desired to have houses of their own
for two or three months, they demand
ed prices 100 per cent in advance of
the ordinary value OF such residences,
with the result that many of the most
eligible places remained unlet. Taking
a lesson from these experiences owners
do not propose to indulge in such ex-
tortion this coming season.
THE appearance of Mrs. Goelet and
her daughter on the scene last year."

think that there would be an extra

zon's sisters were going to be married
to English noblemen, SO the prospects
Of a brilliant American season looked
hopeful. We found too lote that most
of the Americans had decided to do
their entertaining at the fashionable
hotels, while many Of them cleared out
Of London altogether and went to
Paris
The report current in London a few
days ago that Mrs. Goelet had cabled
an offer for Devonshire House, the
town residence of the Duke of Devon
shire, is not strictly accurate. An en-
terprising house agent, knowing that
Mrs. Goelet was anxious to have town
house for her daughter, cabled to the
lady that the Duke of Devonshires
house in Piccadilly was to be sold. AL
though a reply is expected, it has not

Venerable and Valuable Grapevine.

The famous old grapevine at Hamp-
ton Court Palace, planted in 176s from
a slip off vine in Essex. is stin Wig
orous and still produces excellent
grapes. The principal branch of the
vine is ia feet in length, and its max
imum girth is As inches. The vine was
at it's greatest productive power some
forty years ago, when it yielded be-
tween 2300 and $500 punches, weighing
one pound each on the average. Last
year. in consequence Of thinning out
it's branches, it bore only 700 clusters,
but these were of superior size and
quality. Recently the winery has been
enlarged and practically rebuilt. and by
removing the paving stones of the old
vine house it is thought the vine will
receive new vigor. Visitors. to whom
the great vine has always been one of
the attractions of Hampton Court. will
hereafter be excluded from the winery
and will be compelled to admire the
mammoth royal vine from the exterior
of the winery, which built of glass;
