Senator's Wife a Deep Scholar.

Perhaps the most scholarly woman
In society In the capital is Mrs. Henry
Cabot Lodge. As the daughter OF
Rear Admiral Charles II. Davis she
was reared in an atmosphere of cul.
ture. She took a college course In
Wellesley and studied IN other seats
OF learning. She taxes 4 keen interest
in Greek studies, but. being modest,
she never has become known publicly
for her attachments. Strangely enough,
in view of the fact that she is n New
England woman, she lever has sought
the laurels Of authorship. But she has
been an invaluable aid to her husband
and his chief dependence in research
and the reading of proof sheets.

a Important Decision.

Judge Brown decided q case this
forenoon that is of interest to sheep
inspectors and to sheep men generally.
The point at issue was whether the
sheep Inspector had the right to dip
sheep hat have been exposed 10 the
scab or other contagious or infectious
diseases.
The suit was that OF the Elko Live.
stock Company VS.. Harry Dunn, sheep
inspector Of this county. The facts as
we understand them were as follows:
The company had a barn OF bucks that
had the scab and he sheep inspector
ordered the company to dip them and
its other bands OF sheep. The company
dipped the bucks and other sheep, but
did not dip the lambe. AS tho lambs
in the corral with the bucks and with
the other sheep, Mr.. Dunn orde red them
dipped also. This hIr. Mallett, the
manager Of the company refused to do.
Mr.. Dunn then %quarantined the CON-
pany's sheep and made preparation TO
dip the lambs.
Mr.. Mallett then ieked the district
court for ar order restraining the sheep
inspector from interfering with his
sheep. The case was tried last week
md Judge Brown took it under al.
visement until today when he held that
tho sheep inspector had no right under
the statutes to dip sheep that we're not
infected with the scab or other contga.
gious or infections diseases, but which
had been exposed TO the disease.

nOTOR ROAT RACES.

The series of aquatic contests that has been
initiated ut Lake Worth, near Palm Beach, is
an appropriate sequel to the races which have
just ended at Ormond. There probably would
have been boats propelled by internal
combustion" motors had it not been for the
automobile. When once the gasOlene engine
had been brought to a high degree of ex-
cellence, by years of service In driving road
vehicles it was the most natural thing in the
world to try it in marine craft. On the water
it is desirable to pay more attention to light
ness III propelling machinery than on land
Yet ii Is interesting 10 observe that motor
which betrayed particularly fine qualities at
Ormond the other day has actually been trans
ferred TO a boat entered for the Palm Beach
races.
Many motor boats have been designed primarily
If not exclusively for racing, and with that
object IN view qualities essential TO safety
have often been sacrificed. This was especially
noticeable in the races on the Mediterranean
last spring. The winner Of the 200 kilometre
contest off Monte Carlo was favored by an
absolutely smooth sea, yet the boat was found
TO be badly strained In consequence Of the
performance of her engine SO fragile were the
boats which attempted to cross from Algiers
to TOulOn n few weeks later that six ont Of
seven disabled or sunk and the remain
ing one had an extremely trying experience
had not the contestants been closely followed
by torpedo boat destrOyers there would have
been lamentable loss Of life. Since that time
there seems TO have been a reaction against
illmsiness OF construction among European
builders and owners. Even before the change
set in there beautiful demonstration of
the possibility Of insuring seaworthness. An
American boat, the Gregory was entered for
one of these races, and though she apparently
did not actually participate she crossed the At
lantic for that purpose and arrived without
harm.
The motor boat. like the automobile. is Of
French origin SO. too. is the gas engine bur
