improved Counting Machine.

Autorith Is the latest calculating
machine, and is the invention of one
Alexander Rechnitzer of Vienna. Sub
traction and addition were the first
operations attempted by the abacus
of the ancients. The first calculating
machine deserving the name that es-
sayed the complications of multiple
cation and division was invented
about 1912 by Blaise Pascal, and the
first practical success was brought
out about thirty years later by Leib-
nitz. 1t was able to do all four funda-
mental arithmetical processes, but
was complicated and laborious to han
die. Most of the inventors since have
taken their ideas from this machine
and have been aiming to make 1t more
entirely automatic, and to avoid the
possibility of error by slipping. The
autorith probably represents the great
est advance. 1t is far more complicat-
ed than any of its distinguished an
cestors, principally because 1t aims
to overcome the necessity Of any man
ual operations other than indicating
to the machine the example to be per
formed.

Expects to Live to Be 1875.

Jesse Jones of Pulaski, Tenn, is
nearly 10 years old, having been born
of a Portuguese father and Choctaw
mother in Raleigh, N. c., June 10,
1896 He fought In four wars, hav-
ing honorable discharge at the close
OF each-the war of 1872, the Florida
Indian and French troubles, the strug-
gle with Mexico, and the civil war.
Erect and keen-eyed, he does not
look much over so and expects to live
to see 1875. He has been married six
times, thirty-two children having been
born to him. His present wife is 48
years old and his youngest child, a
daughter, Is just turned II,

ELECTRIC FORCE IN ANIMALS.
Developed in Lungs and Hearts, Says
San Francisco Scientist.

The brain as an electric motor Is
the theme of DR.. Albert B. Atkins of
San Franciscos preachments. He says
that he has proved by experiment
made on steer that brain action is
an electrical phenomenon. His apDa-
ratus consisted of two platinum cleo
trodes connected with long copper
wire running to extremely sensitive
galvanometers. The electrodes were
inserted in two lobes of the brain of
a living steer. After the first culver
caused by the insertion of the plati-
mum points the animal lay quiet and
yet the needle of the galvanometer
was DETECTED four points on the scale
and remained so for nearly six min
utes. Upon further action by the
operators Immediately TIE needle de-
flected nineteen points In the same
direction. Then the needle gradually
returned to the normal position. DR..
Atkins has previously demonstrated
that electric force is developed in the
lungs and hearts of animals, and he
argues that the mysteries of gravlta-
ton can be solved only by attribut-
ing 1t to electrical action.

Wealthy Youths Got Mitten.

It is understood that four young
millionaires were put aside by Alice
Roosevelt in favor Of the man who be-
came her husband. The unsuccessful
wooers were Ned McLeen, Ogden
Mills Reid, Robert Sterling Clark and
Robert Goelet All these young men
were so devoted to the presidents
daughter that they became known in
official circles as "the faithful four"
Miss Roosevelt might have had any of
them. Washington society said. and
1t is common knowledge, that at least
two of the gilded youths proposed to
her not once, but several times. All
four of the "faithfuls," however, sent
gifts-Clark, a gold bracelet, Goelet a
gold and Venetian glass set of fifty
pieces, Reid diamond hair ornament
and Mclean watch crusted with sap
phires and diamonds.

John Ruskin,s plain Talk.

A newly published letter written by
the late John Ruskin to Sir Oliver
Lodge says: rs 1t still impossible to
get into any human head at your uni
versities that the economic crisis Is
because people Will dig iron out Of the
ground and build ironclads, instead Of
raising corn and wine and giving them

years. The thing OF all others indis-

Identified hy His Voice.

A short time ago Signor Caruso, the
celebrated Italian tenor, had occasion
to draw some money from New
York bank. Being unknown to the
cashier he was asked to produce evil
dence of his identity. Caruso tried to
persuade the cashier that he was
really the celebrated tenor, but that
obdurate official would not part with
the money, although he had been to
the opera and had heard Caruso sing.
He declared that he thought Caruso
taller. At last the tenor had an in
SEPARATION. without losing any further
time in apparently useless negotia-
lions he began to sing that delightful
romanza in "Tosca,' Reconcile Ar
monie.' He had hardly started sing
lug when the delighted cashier be-
gan to count the money over the coun-
ter.

Mrs. Roosevelt's Gowns Were of Her
Own Choosing.

When 1t comes to choosing colors
for her gowns no one can accuse Mrs.
Roosevelt of being conventional. AT

There were champagne cloths and

Practical Women at Washington.

Speaker Reed once remarked that
there was but woman In Washington
society who could talk politics intelli
gently and she is Mrs. Robert R. Hit.
Mrs. Fairbanks realizes more nearly
the woman who is such force In Brit
ish political life. She is lawyer and
profound student of social condi-
lions. She is worker in the Junior
Republic and the present prosperous
condition of that social venture is
largely due to her direction. Mrs. La
Toilette, wife of the newly elected SEN
ator from Wisconsin, is also lawyer
and is interested In social reform, es-
pecially among the younger criminal
class.
