A menue that attracts much atten-
tion is the one from the birthday
feast of Aguinaldo, in the Philippines
in 1901. 1t was in the middle of this
historic gathering that Gen. Funston
appeared, having swum the Passig
river to be present. Provisions were
evidently on the wane, as two courses
were scratched at the eleventh hour.
The card is plainly labeled menu a

ish. Just a year later the Lotos club
of this city gave Gen. Funston a din
ner of his great exploit The artistic
discrepancy between the two menus is

favorable conditions over 1000 flies.
1t is no wonder that where these con-
ditions exist, we have such a veritable
harvest of the fly pest.
The fly hibernates in winter but
with his usually secretive habit, it is
very difficult to find him in his winter
quarters. With the first chill of au-
tumn the flies feeling the cold, seek
temporary warmth in houses, and
clustering together form punches in
the corners Of walls and other places.
They are then sluggish and not so act
i've as in the warm weather. However,
they do not make a permanent stay
indoors, but on the first mild, sunny
day, seek the windows to get out and
find their permanent winter hiding
place; many prefer to make their
homes in the roots of grass on lawns
where they hide themselves so effect
ually that the ice and snow Of winter
does not destroy them in their hiber-
mating state.
In recent years, the medical prc-
fession have demonstrated that while
the fly itself does not propagate dis
ease, it is one of the most industrious
carriers of disease germs which by
contact adhere to his feet, hairy legs
and body, distributing them to inno-
cent victims.
If every housekeeper could know
all these interesting facts which have
never before been brought to their
attention, they would realize the i'm
portance of securing the very best

age)," while certain brand of sherry
is bracketed as "very delicate." Cham
pagne was then sold at half it's pres
ent price.
In contrast was the menu of the
much discussed Hyde dinner to Cam
bon at Sherry's. Another dinner card
typical of present day extravaganza is
one from the famous Camp Dinner"
given at Delmonico's by DR.. j. B.
Clemmens in the winter of 1902. For
5000 a plate the caterer agreed to trans

port to New York a section of camp
lille for ten persons. This, with a wine
list, meant more than $4,000 for few
hours enjoyment. Down in the Bow
cry that night the hungry man smack
ed his lips over a whole meal at five
cents.
Elaborate dinner cards are creations
of the last fifteen years. That for the
dinner to Ferdinand de Lesseps by the
citizens of New York, for example, is
plain bit of pasteboard mounted on
satin; yet that event was considered
the finest of its kind the city had seen.
Compared with menus of dinners for
Prince Henry it looks as artistic as a
chrome among Van Dycks. American
cards are, as whole, the most artistic
of any nation. The English are much
prone to colored work, the menus of
royalty revealing some startling sun
set effects, that of the Coronation
luncheon for King Edward and Queen
Alexandra being very far from our
standards of taste. Until of late Ger
man menus seemed hopelessly mar
tistic, but now typical embossed work
has assumed an impressive dignity in
all it's heaviness
Perhaps the most interesting card is
one that reveals the extremities of
siege life in Paris in the winter of
1870, when the Germans were stolidly
camped before the city walls. Christ
mas of that year found the Parisians
with scarce delicacy for a holiday
feast. But the Cafe Voisin was not to
be thwarted.
At stupendous figure it arranged
to serve the ZOO for Christmas dinner.

Magnetic Coupling Device.


"A much wider range of application
Is claimed for new magnetic coupler
and accelerator than that possessed
by the friction clutch. The couplings
consist of two cast steel rings, one
with annular grooves in which the
magnetic coil is securely fastened and
the other acting as an armature or
keeper. A cross section of the two
members shows the well-known form
OF the horseshoe magnet and it's
keeper. Friction and the eddy cur
rents induced in the armature plates
by the magnetism of the field are the
two components in these clutches, the
sum OF which is the torque. The in
ductlon component is a maximum,
dropping off as speed is attained, thus
giving a remarkably smooth accelera-
ton, capable Of automatic control. In
most work an electric contact device
for control can be thrown directly
across the line, as it is practically i'm
possible to produce a sudden Jerk.
The device also gives prompt and
absolute release regardless of load,
cutting out the. shaft in rotation, and
two ampere current in the magnetic
ing coil is sufficient to control a 100
horsepower unit at ordinary speed.
The device may likewise be used in
connection with gear trains to oper-
ate machines at different speeds.

Phone Tests for Wines.

One may we'll ask if the telephone
has developed a. conscience in connec-
ton with the discovery by Maneuv-
rier, the well known French chemist,
of a means Of detecting by it's aid the
adulteration of wines. In the method
he has perfected two glasses, one filed
with the wine to be tested and the
other with a like quantity of wine
known to be pure, are placed on an
apparatus resembling a scale and
telephone connection is made with
both liquids. If both wines are pure
no sound is heard in the receiver;
but it one contains water or other
liquids or solids noise is produced
until a pointer moves to given place
on dial plate. This movement rem
ders the conductivity of the liquids
uniform and the gradation on the dial
where the pointer stops shows the ex-
tent to which the wine has been adul-
terated. %

Concerning the House Fly

The common house fly (Musca
Domestica) is a creature of such Sc
cretive habits, that although from the
very earliest times he has been with
us, and the most ancient writer's have
mentioned and described him, still
very little was known of his origin
and history.
1t remained for the eminent Boston
biologist, DR.. A: S. Packard, in 1873,
to make known his origin, habits and
transformation from the egg through
the larva state with it's two changes
to the pupa state, then to the perfect
f1y
Near the first of August the female
lays about 120 eggs of a dull gray

in which to deposit her eggs, and so
secretes them that they are rarely
seen; it takes only twenty-four hours
for them to hatch into the first. form
of larva, a white worm one quarter of
an inch in length and one tenth in
diameter. They feed on the decaying
matter of their environment, and two
changes or casting of skins occur be-
fcre they turn into the pupa state:
this change comes very suddenly. The
entire period from the egg to the pupa
state is from three to four days. If
moist food is wanting when in this
condition they will eat each other
and thus decrease their number. Heat
and humidity greatly assist their de-
velopment, as upon careful computa-
ton each pound of manure around

memorable strike of a few years ago
does not expire until April 1 of next
year. The union, 1t is stated, would
not ruthlessly break the agreement
before its expiration.
Despite these optimistic declara-
tions however. It is well known that
the labor union leaders have been
very active this season in the anthra-
cite districts stirring up the miners
and creating enthusiasm for the labor
cause. Picnics and other public gath
crings have been held at which the
cause of the miners was discussed. In
cidentally efforts have been made TO
have the members OF the union pay
their dues and the delinquents have
been urged TO pay their arrears.
Those who profess to see in the activ-
ity Of the union leaders signs of prep
arations for another anthracite strug-
gle maintain that a great contest will
occur next year.
