When the doors of St Elizabeth's

Prof Leo Wheat last night Washington
lost one OF its most eccentric and in
teresting characters. After spending
thirty years of his life in Washington.

eighteen his father expressed a desire
that he become a minister of the gos-

TO the suggestion. Later his father
urged him 10 study medicine. This was
also distasteful TO the boy. who stated
that he wished to study music in
Europe. His father sent him to Munich
and there Leo studied for several years.

Shortly after his return from Europe
Wheat made a tour of the South and
gave organ recitaIs in almost every
church below the Mason and Dixon
line. He was gladly welcomed every
where, and his good-fellowship is in no
small way responsible for his present
plight.
Since he came to Washington to live
Wheat has been the mainstay of al

none were considered complete without

Prof. Claude Halstead Won Tyne, au-

Sir Edward Elgar, the distinguished
composer, was at one time, like the I'M

Information from Calcutta is to the
effect that Kipling did not write stories
about India Save as an official unit
ir the British empire, there is no such

In 1863 the German novelist William

Senator John w. Daniel Of Virginia

The senator has but recently returned
to his home In Washington from an
extended trip in search Of material for

The late julius Stinde, one Of the

1876 and for some time no attention

ODDITIES OF INVENTION.

In Germany clocks have been run by
wireless telegraphy. Portable wireless
stations, SO light that they can be car
rled by men, have also been devised by
German inventors.
A recent French invention which
utilities electroplating for the deposit
OF extremely thin coatings Of precious
metals is said to make possible the
gold plating of lace, without stiffening
the fabric. Silver is used In the same
way.
A machine has been invented for
manufacturing cotton automobile tires.
The tires are woven something like
lampwicks, only they are heavier and
OF coarser texture. They are said to
resist pressure of 5000 pounds to the
square inch.
Although not yet perfected, the Ma
iorama telephone bids fair vastly to ex-
tend the field of usefulness of the long

Aluminium is being used In France to

LoW-Headed Trees.

The old-style orchard was often very
high headed, with the limbs we'll up out
of the way The idea was to train the
tree 80 high that teams could be driven
under and to keep the limbs above the
reach of cattle. Now that these items
are of less Importance to most orchard
lists, the tendency is in the opposite d.
rection, until j. H. Hale asks pertinent
ly: whats the use of a trunk, any,
way?" 1t may be said in favor of the
low-down tree that the fruit may be
picked at considerably less cost and is
not so likely to be blown off by the
wind Spraying is also less difficult
1t is in many ways the better tree for
those who do not cultivate directly un-
der large trees and who keep cattle
away from the orchard. In a row Of
the sturmer apples the trees were cut
back much shorter than in many or
chards, consequently the limbs are
sturdy enough to hold the fruit without
bending. These trees averaged about
four cases to the tree The trees branch
out about eight or ten inches from the
ground.-American Cultivator.

WANT NEW NATIONAL HYMN
Poets and Composers Think "Star
spangled Banner" Is In
adequate.
naparte

Washington.-Se Bonaparte
has begun to hear from the composers
who feel sure that he will adopt the
suggestion of julius l. Lyons or New
York and offer prize for new ma
tional hymn. Mr.. Bonaparte still be-
ieves that "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner is a good enough national hymn
and evermore shall be so.
But that makes no difference to the
writer's of new national hymns. They
want prize money, but, more than that.
they are hungry for fame. Trusty
agents of the navy department at the
various poetry headquarters and song
sources of America report that the
spring poets have their coats off and
are working like beavers on the new
hymn.
The most voluminous producer thus
far reported is Bloodgood II. Cutter,
the Long Island farmer poet. He is
small and very old, but full of energy.
When he mounts Pegasus the old boss
Just flaps his wings and trots two
stanzas a minute for limitlesS min
utes Mr.. Cutter was thinking about
the prize hymn while driving load OF
pit-kept cabbage to market when he
suffered a mishap. Instead of repair
ing the damage he enthusiastically
drew forth large black-backed blank
book and began to work on the hymn.
TIL product thus far is in narrative
form only, but the hortatory and inyo-
catory parts will come later. The first
verse is:
AS forth l drove along the road
My wheel come off; down went my
load
I sat and munched a big banana
And eclipsed THE Star-Spangled Ban
ner."
Santee. has loaded bateau with corn
pone, fried chicken, fried hominy and
puncheon of juleps, and with this
precious cargo and a fountain pen he
has retired to the headwaters of
Peachtree creek, where he can hear
the nightingale sing and ruminate on
the new national hymn.
Mr.. Kugleman has developed more
thought thus far to the tuleps than to
the hymn, yet he has had time to
dash off the following
Rise, crowned with fire, American
eagle, rise!
See what an empire lies before thine
eyes.
Soar, Shrek and scream in most i'm
perial manner,
But don't, we beg you, shrek "The
