JOHN D.,s NEW WIG HELD UP


CLEVELAND, O., January 26th John

makers art, with Lar long, soft and Of a
glossy gray.
1t was ordered last SIMMER when
Rockefeller Was in France, and reached
America recently on the liner La Prov
ence. II was made in Paris by dealer
who placed upon the invoice the modest
value 81 five francs. Evidently it was
paid for in advance.
When it reached the custom Office yes
terday Joseph T. Ball, clerk looked sus-
picioas. "Hun," he mused; that's a
cheap wig for the great John D. Rocke-
feller." He called in Appraiser Norton.
Norton made some inquiry Of hair
dealers, describing the wig in detail. and
they were unanimous that it would be
cheap at $50. All were indignant at
RockefelIer's lack Of appreciation Of home
industry.
No appraisment has been made as yet.
Norton will inspect the offerings Of the
local hairdressers and compare their work
with the wig Of Rockefeller before he
passes judgment.

THE OCEAN LINER

1t is in its safety devices and the pro-
vision made to meet every possible acci-
dent that the ocean liner is perhaps most
remarkable. All the machinery which
may be-set in motion in case of danger is
centered on the bridge, and so perfectly
has it been arranged that the entire ves-
sci could be controlled if the necessity
should arise by means Of series Of levers
and push buttons. About the walls of
the wheelhouse are arranged curious look
ing indicators, much the same as one
sees behind the desk OF great hotel.
About them are hung a surprising variety
Of barometers, Thermometers, ihermos-
tats, wind and rain gauges and other less
familiar looking intruments There are
rows upon rows OF buttons and levers on
every hand, all highly polished and IN
the most perfect working order. The
danger OF fire at sea, for instance, is an
ticipated by thermostat connected with
the frame filled with little sqnares like
the tiolei indicator. Ihere are thermon-s
eters in every part u the slip electrically
connected witbtbis box which are CON
stantiy on guard. Ii fire should start
in any part Of the great slip the temper
ature would of course rise, and tile fact
would instantly be announced in the
