London, March 24.-S. T. Cody con.
siders that a boatload of shipwrecked
persons who have kite to fly are far
more likely to be reached than kite
less boatload. He argues that kite,
200 yards or SO up in the air, has bet
ter chance of being seen by ships than
small boat low down in the water.
He has built boat to exemplify his
theory. It is an open three-tonner,
twenty-one feet in length, beam Of
six feet, and is driven by petrol. II
was launched on the Crystal palace
lake the other day and christened Leila
by Mrs. Cody.
Mrs. Cody invited number Of
women to step aboard and play the
part Of castaways. Away the Leila
went up the lake and at the right mo-
ment Cody Embossed a double bodied,
bat-shaped kite, six or seven feet long,
which scared into the air to height
of about 200 yards, and it could easily
be understood how such an object Dub
at sea would attract the attention OF
passing vessels miles away.
Mr.. Cody intends shortly sailing his
boat from the Isle Of Wight to Bhgh-
ton and fly the kite to see how It at
tracts the attention Of steamships.
Then he will take the Leila aboard
some vessel sailing for South Americas
and after two days be cast adrift He
will haul the kite, keeping 1t Tying,
until he is picked up by some passing
steamship.
Then after q day OF 10 rspsss the er.
pertinent and so on until he reaches
South America.
His object is to prove that small hfe.
boats cannot drift along for any length
Of time without being seen II they have
a kite flying.

london, March 24.-For ten years be-
fore his death at Kingstown, the other
day, man named Joseph Knight had
not eaten any food. Eleven years ago,
while on board the yacht Elba at Cos
port, he accidentally drank some de-
tergent in mistake for Dprter, with the
result that his gullet and other internal
organs were destroyed.
He was placed in the hands of an
able surgeon, who not only saved his
life, but also enabled him to live for
more than ten years in comparative
comfort by means Of feeding him thru
a tube in his side, leading directly to
his stomach. It is remarkable that tho
unable to eat, he could always enjoy a
smoke. He was about 40 years Of age.

Paris, March 24.-One Of the most
startling murder mysteries of recent
years, which has kept Paris breathless
for week, has been solved.
NJ. Bedor, a leather goods manufac-
turer, having house and factory IN
the Rue Saint Maur, went on March IL,
from his apartments to his office, after
dinner, to write letters. At $3.50 pm.
the concierge heard a heavy fall, fol
lowed by a crash of broken glass, and
aroused a coachman who lives on the
premises. Both proceeded to investi-
gate the cause. All the exits OF the
building were locked.
They had just begun their search
when they heard the street door slam,
rushed out another door and saw the
figure of a man disappearing. They
Bedor lying at the front of the stairs
run thru twice with sword. Beside
him was broken glass lampshade, but
the lamp itself was found on the table
of the Office, showing that the murderer
had returned there after the crime.
In the office was a large, ferocious
dog which would fly at any stranger
1t had not even barked; thus showing
that the criminal was someone it knew
The safe was locked and large SUN
of money, a gold watch and his keys
were found in the pockets Of. the muir
dered man, which seemed to exclude
robbery as a motive.
With NJ. Bedor lived an unmarried
brother who had been three times in 3
lunatic asylum, a wife twenty years
younger than himself, and servant
girl. The latter discovered that he1
keys to the street door had been taker
from nail in the kitchen. Police al
first suspected some love affair or re
venge as the motive of the crime. The
wife, brother, servant and partner Of
M. Bedor were in turn suspected ant
closely questioned, but the mystery only
grew deeper.
But the fashion in which NJ. Bedor ,:
chauffeur, named Matthew, was throw

EGGS SUCCEED ROAST
BEEF OF old ENGLAND.
Food Boom in Britain Because of
Cambridge Crews Gain
on the Diet,
New York Herald Special Gable Service. q

New York Herald Special Cable Service. Copy
right, 1905, by the New York Herald.
London, March 24.-It is remarkable
how great has become the interest in
the forthcoming varsity boat race since
the discovery that the Cambridge crew
dieted themselves largely on eggs, to
in form.
There is no denying the fact that dur
ing the last fortnight the Cambridge
crew has advanced by leaps and bounds,
and it is also as clear that the Oxonians
have not improved anything like them.
Earnest efforts made to induce the
Oxonians to follow the Cantabs' lead in
the matter Of diet have SO far failed
"We don't want Cambridge to teach
us how to suck eggs,' said an old
dark blue. 'Let those who like eggs
eat them,' said another rather testify,
and so far as is known, there is not
likely to be any alteration in the OK
oman menu.
Egg Boom Is On.
During the first influenza scare oys-
tiers and oranges were recommended as
prophylactics, and tradesmen could
scarcely pack them quickly enough to
satisfy the public. And now that the
Cambridge boat race crew has demons
trated that within the shell Of the egg
lie all the essentials of the supreme
physical fitness, the egg boom is in a
fair way to rivaling that which once
conferred in the oyster and the orange.
The effect Is certainly being felt at
the restaurants, where the demand for
poached, boiled and scrambled eggs has
gone up surprisingly. The Globe says:
FPublic attention is now directed like
searchlight on the egg and it is not
improbable that people going into train.
ing will make it the main plank Of their
platform. Perhaps we shall find that
it is not the roast beef Of old England
which has made US what we are, but
the boiled eggs of old England 49,
Eustace Mills, the Cambridge coach
who was on the physical culture com.
mittee of the St. Louis exhibition,
writes:
"There is great deal in the egg
theory provided that the eggs are fresh
and not overlooked and not relied on
as the sole food, day after day, and
last but not least, provided that the in.
dividual finds that eggs agree with him
This is the main question.
GAS to their body building value
eggs contain about 13 per cent, as com
pared with 20 per cent Of raw beef an6
it seems that the greater part Of this
Is per cent is easily digested and as

New York Herald Special Gable Service. Copy

London, March 24.-The largest and
most complete electric installation ever
fitted on board ship is IN store for the
new Cunarder, the Mauritania, now
building at Wallsend. The vessel will
be lighted by about 5000 lamps Of six
teen candlepower, which is more than
double the number fitted on the Cedric.
Two electric passenger elevators are
to be fitted for conveying the passen-
gers between the six decks. Two ele-
vators are for luggage, and the six
smaller elevators for the mails, etc.
There will be telephone exchange
on board, which will connect up the
chief passenger sections Of the ship
with the offices and there are also to be
special telephones from the bridge.
But perhaps the most up-to- date nov
elty is the provision Of electric curling
heaters for the women passengers.

Special Gable to The Journal.
London, March 24.-If the vote in
the house of commons to censure Lord
Minor, formerly high commissioner in
South Africa, for permitting the fog
ging Of Chinese coolies in the mines,
had been carried on Thursday instead
of - Wednesday, it would have been in
the nature of birthday present, since
it would, in that case, have fallen on
his ffty-second birthday. When the
question came up in the commons,
Joseph Chamberlain proved to be Lord
Minors sole defender.
In the house Of lords yesterday, Lord
Minor said privately that he was in
different to the. slur cast upon him by
the commons, but there is no denying
that it has very grave aspect when
his future is taken into consideration.
It is serious for the reason that he is
kicked out Of the service with nei-
Their pension nor gratuity.

London, March 24.-'Owing to the
action of the king, drastic changes in
the style Of the dresscoat are likely to
be made during the coming year, says
the Tailor and Cutter. "Already blue
cloth is being used, while velvet collars
have lately become a conspicuous feat
ure in the up-to-date dresscoat.'
''We hear,' says this chief organ of
the tailoring trade, "that the king has
expressed his disapproval of double,
breasted garments for evening wear and
is having a specimen of styles prepared
for him by the leading West End firms,
with a view of bringing about change.
1t is therefore highly probable that the
trade will be on the alert to take up
any changes that may be suggested by
his majesty and the result will be a
revolution in the style of evening dress
in the immediate future.'

CHOICE
TO BROWN and CRABBE

The Independent ticket movement in
the County primaries is being knocked
on the head by a new sort of combine,
of Crabbe and Brown forces, intended
to shut out the possibility of choice of
third man. In various precincts
there have been delegates for Brown,
delegates for Crabbe and independents,
who don't want either man. 1t was
conceded to he very possible that these
might control the convention and, in
the event of a deadlock stampede it
for a dark horse.
There is an agreement on now, how
ever, to place in nomination Brown
and Crabbe and then close the nominal
tions. 1t is said that both the Brown
and Crabbe men will join in this ac
ton, which means, of course, that 1t
will carry easily. This, in turn, means
that the convention will be restricted
in its choice, to the two men, and they
will fight their battle out on the floor
of the convention. The nomination Of
either seems likely to result in a split
in the party, for which the Democratic
forces are looking very eagerly.
