meat animals to the butcher Now OF
course Secretary Wilson does mt
mean To say that every farmer ac'
tually has nine animals TO sell every
year, but the average sold by the
farmers is that number. Further
along he says that in 1900 the pro-
duction of edible meats was 1856
800 pounds. Of which 2.433 ,035,000
pounds. or 1868 per cent, We're ex'

such great numbers may be better
understood II they are reduced to the
average Of the census private family,

the farmer supplied 40 pounds OF

lamb, 30 pounds Of mutton and 4G5
pounds Of pork including lard, or.
I'm all, 1.0il pounds of meat, amount
ing to half a ton"
But even this graphic statement OF
the mcatconsuming incllnations and
powers OF Americans does not satisfy
Secretary Wilson and he adds:

Nothing in the Paper"

Often you pick up one Of the local

marking "Nothlng In the paper to

Antiquary Says There's
Nothing Missing From
Rome.

ROME, March 9.-There is some doubt
expressed here as to the five sO-called
fragments OF Trajans Forum that have
been presented to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum, New York. by j. iPerpont Nor
gan.
Commentators Boni. the noted expert
IN Roman antiquities. says he is unable
10 say whether Mr.. Morgan's fragments
are really part of Trajan's Forum until
he can see photographs Of them. Ger
tainly nothing is missing from the in
closed part of the forum. nor from the
collections of fragments in the Vatican
and Lateran museums.
II the fragments I'm New York are
genuine. they have been dug up from
other parts Of the forum which are un-
incIosed and have never been thorough
ly eNCavated In any case. il is consid-
cred remarkable that pieces OF the mon
ument have reached New York in face
OF the stringent Italian law against the
export of art treasures.
Some mystery. however. surrounds the
great Albani collection, which is known
To have contained some architectural
specimens from Trajan's Forum. Since
its looting by Napoleon this collection
has been so jealously guarded that its
contents are now known TO no one bu;

the lavish use OF money and influence
may have induced these officials 10 part

GERMAN PRINCE
CHEATS WIDOW

PARIS. March "A great sensa ton
has been caused in Paris society by
the story OF how a German prince of
ancient line sWindled a widow. Prince
Won Hanau, who was born on Decem-
Der S. 1872, is the son OF the late Prince
Friedrich Wilhelm I, EleCtor of Hesse.
On the death of his father he inherited
the castle and estates near Prague.
which yielded him an income Of over
$4,000 dollars As the prince, however,
had very eXtravagant tastes, this sum
lid not suffice, and he contemplated
making a rich marriage
While on a visit to Cologne he met a
lady, widow of a commercial man.
named Frau Oberman, who was very
wealthy The prince proposed and was
accepted, fact which caused a great
deal Of talk. as Mrs Oberman was sixty
four years old She agreed to give the
prince 100000 to pay his debts. and this
sum was placed at two banks in Prague
in the Princes name.
After having got the money the prince
neglected his lady love, and this fact.
together with the information that the
money was not being used for the pur-
rose specified. caused the widow 10

IRISH NOBLEMAN
BEATS HIS BRIDE

LONDON, March 9.-There appears to
be an epidemic of separation" among
newly married couples. Not long ago it
was the Hon. Leopold Canning who de
serted his bride the daughter of Mr.
Rube, the South African millionaire
shortly after their marriage; and now,
although desperate attempts have been
made 20 hush the matter up, there IS
serious trouble between another COM
paratively newly married couple
Viscount de Vesci. a young officer in
the IIiSh Guards, married at the age of
twenty-five last year 4 Miss Georsianna
Weber!ey- The young couple went 10
the country home Of the viscount's
mother. the Hon. Mrs. Edward Port
man. and afterward TO the Niscount's
home In Ireland.
Here the Niscount behaved in an eX-
traordinary manner. He threatened to
beat his bride. and was found one night
tearing about the woods in his night
attire. His violence so terrified his
bride that she locked herself up for
days.
The matter was husbed up, but the
viscount a few months later broke loose
again. and it was then discovered that
the young officer had had fits of tenn
porary insanity before his marriage
Lady De Vesci. after the second at
tack, refused 10 live with her husband.
and now the young couple. who were
really devoted 10 each other, are sep

ENABLES DEAF
TO HEAR MUSIC
Dr.. Dupont Has Microphoue PhonograPh
Attachment

PARIS. March "A great sensation
has been caused here by the marvellous
discovery Of DR.. Marcel Dupont, by
which the deaf can be made TO hear
music. DR. Dupont was introduced 70
the Academy OF Sciences by Prof.
a. Arsouyal. who informed that learned
assembly OF Dr. Duponts wonderful IN
vention. DIT. Dupont exhibited his ap-
paratus- which consists OF a phonograph
TO which is affixed a microphOne, the
electric current being derived from the
accumulators.
A scale Of music is engraved In the
cylinder. and when the phonOgraph sets
to work the microphone supplies an al
ternate electric current. the numbers OF
the steps OF which correspond exactly
10 the vibrations OF the scale of music
reproduced from the cylinder by the
phonograph. This alternate current may
be so regulated at viii that II can pass
through the human organism. but for
that a special appliance is necessary
II a march or an entire piece OF music
OF any sort is put on the wax cylinder,
the alternate electric current produces
by its passage through the human or
ganism the exact impression of the mu-
sical sounds Of the music as given out
by the phonOgraph.
DIR. Dupont does not claim that he
can make the born-deaf, who would be,
therefore, ignorant of music or its
sound, TO enjoy music, but he claims
that by means Of his instrument il Is
possible TO so educate children who were
formerly musical and who became deaf
TO become accomplished musicians. for
by the passing Of the alternate electric
current through the human tissues a
deaf person can be taught 10 diStin-
gulsh one Kind Of music from another.
DR.. Dupont says he has practiced on
many deaf people. and that he has tried
his experiment especially on deaf-mutes.
and fl is an inContcStable fact that the!

current passing through their system
