Water For the Chicks.

Many young chicks die because they
get wet when drinking, which chills
them and causes them to droop and
lose appetite. Always have fountains
for chicks that permit them to insert
their beaks only into the water. Plac-
ing the water before them in saucers.

4 TAN1ALIzlNe METAL.
Peculiar Properties and Wonderful
Hardness of Tantalum.

A rare metal which has attracted
universal attention during the last two
years while before II was scarcely
known outside of some scientific labo.
ratories is tantalum, so named by It's
discoyerer, Ekelberg, on account of the
tantalizing difficulties experienced In
extracting the metal from its ores.
Only two years ago was II found out
by German scientists that what the
discoverer thought to be tantalum was
an alloy of II and Il carbide, and more
tantallzlng efforts we're ne essary to
produce this metal IN It's per ectly pure
state. But, this success once being
reached, the metal Immediately became
of such Importance that II Is now revo
lutlonizing at least one large industry
that of the manufacture of incandes-
cent lamps for electric lights. Although
it has been tried to use tantalum as Il
steel hardening agent the mechanical
difficulties In alloying tantalum with
steel have been so great that we shall
probably see other applications come
into prominence first.
Tantaum Is one of the hardest sub
stances known, and its use for sclen-
tlfic instruments, where price stands
always second to accuracy and dura-
bility, will doubtless be developed
much sooner, lnasmuch as tantalum
also reslsts the corrosive influence OF
acids and alkaline solutions In very
remarkable degree.
One of the most striking experiments
to demonstrate the hardness of tanta-
lum was that for the purpose of bor-
Ing hole through sheet of pure tan
talum metal diamond drill bore was
used, revolving necessarily for three
days and making 5000 revolutions per
minute, and the result was n depres-
sion of less than one one-hundredth Of
an inch in the metal, but an entirely
dull and smooth diamond.-E Schaaf

If You Marry Drunkard You Must
Live With Him,

MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 19.-Acting
under previously announced rule
that no woman need expect to receive
a decree of divorce at his hands on
plea of her husbands drunkenness
when it was shown by the evidence
that the husband was known by her
to have been addicted to strong
drink before marriage, Judge Joseph

grant Mrs. Lulu Jones divorce from
Frank Jones. The wife easily estab-
lished the claim that her. husband
was habitual drunkard, but when
she admitted under the courts ques-
tioning that Jones called on her be-
fore they were married when under
the influence of liquor, Judge LETTER
refused her prayer.
Women who marry habituaI
drunkards with their eyes open can

SLEEPS TWO WEEKS.

HATTIESBURG, Miss, Oct. 10
The strange case of Mrs. E. Bond, of
McHenry, few miles south of Hat
tiesburg, who has been in a condition
OF complete somnolency or catalepsy
for more than two weeks, has at
tracted the attention of the doctors
and of the lay public in this section.
Mrs. Bond had been ailing for short
time before she fell into this state.
During the time that she has been
asleep she has been watched. and
only twice has she moved, once when
she twitched an eyelash and once
when she slightly moved one of her
limbs. Her breathing is regular and
her pulse fairly normal.
There does not appear to be any
loss of tissue, and her appearance is
that of one in peaceful slumber.
Mrs. Bond is member of one of the
best known families in the state.

GIRLS SHOULD FENCE.
Hest Exercise and Pastime for the

among women in Boston today than
Il ever had. The athletic woman.

II she is not a master of the foils.
and there are fencing schools in Bos-

fencers are being graduated.
No exercise in the world supplies
such marvellous grace, SO perfect
physical poise, such quickness of eye,
steadiness Of wrist and development
of all of the important muscles of
the body as fencing.
And recently women have been en-
tering fencing tournaments and TAX
ing standing according to their pro-
wess and ability in the use of the
foils.
Miss Millicent H. Hall is the wo-
man champion fencer of Great Brit
ain. Although women have been
fencing in England for great many
years, especially since the practice of
duelling has been frowned out of
existence, they never until this year
enjoyed the privilege of competing
for honors in open championship con-
tests.
Under the auspices of the Amateur
Fencing association the first women s
championship meeting was held re-
Gently and there Miss Hall, in COM
petition with five other women, gain
ed well merited victory and became
the first lady champion of fence.
Miss Hall commenced fencing in
1904. From the start she showed an
aptitude for the handling of the foil,
and in 1900 and 1907 she took part
in the national fencing competition
She says:
ITO excel in fencing one must have
regular practice; frequent lessons are
absolutely necessary, as in free play
one is apt to fall into bad habits
Lessons taken with the left as we'll as
the right hand are excellent"
1t seems to be an open question
at any rate, opinions differ-whethel
the fence should watch the eye, hand
or foil of her opponent At one time
it was regarded as violation of the
canons of fence to watch anything
but the eye.
Now, however, fencers are guided
in the matter by instinct, and pro-
badly the majority of them will
watch the foil-their opponents foil

After much telegraphing they

then they took action to hold up that
wondrous trosseau in the eighteen
trunks. They have not accepted the
little lapse in Mrs. Buffers memory.
They have made no allowances for a
woman's unfamiliarity with business
details. They do not admit that 1t Is
very easy to get Piedmont, Switzer-

So, in their mean way, they have

the customs men went to work in all

CLEARS SUICIDE MYSTERY.
Other Woman Says She Will Face

CHICAGO, Oct. 1871 knew that

Stevens, an actress, to Captain P. D.
O'Brien this morning, clearing up
mystery which had enveloped the
suicide of Frand Hornisch yesterday
afternoon. Hornisch was known by
the police to have been living with
woman other than his wife at the
Hotel Morrison and to have lavished
upon her the greater part of $1,000
which he was accused of having
stolen from the Globe laundry, 145
Morgan street.
A search for the supposed actress
was begun by Detective Sergeants
Duffy and O'Brien yesterday after
noon, but she could not be found. At
9 o'clock this morning she appeared
of her own accord in Captain
O'Brien's Office and declared that she
was the suicides affinity
II found out that Frank was mar
ried before left him." Miss Stevens
said, "but l am willing to face his
widow at the inquest this afternoon"
Miss Stevens tainted in the Rolls
ton undertaking rooms this afternoon
just before the inquest began. She
was revived with glass of water
and then nerved herself to the ordeal
of meeting the widow.
Later the two women came face to
face. They said nothing to each

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Mr. and Mrs.
Robert T. Lincoln are still in Ver-
mont, where they spent the summer
or at least their Lake Shore Drive
house is still closed and the golf
links on which Mr.. Lincoln is a fa-
mihar figure every fall, know him
not, so far. Society is wondering
whether his daughter, Mrs. Jessie
Beckwith, who returned to the pa
ternal roof after parting with her
baseball husband, will take a more
active part in the social life of Chi
cago-if she should be there this sea-
son-than does her mother, a daugh-
ter of Senator Harlan. Miss Lin
coins infatuation for young Beck
with ten years ago must indeed have
been great, as it prompted her to
dispose of jewels which should have
been of priceless value to her family,
from association, if nothing else.
Among those she offered for sale and
which were bought by a stranger,
were brooch and earrings of enamel
and diamonds, the, former bearing
the name of Mrs Abraham Lincoln
her grandmother-on the reverse
side. No effort has ever been made
by Mrs. Beckwith or any member of
the Lincoln family to recover this set,
which will probably be coveted in fu-
ture by some museum interested in
preserving mementos of national
characters.

KING WILL ATTEND.

With His Presence.
LONDON, Oct, 19.-It is said that
the king is likely to attend the mar
riage of Leila Paget, daughter of Sir
Arthur and Lady Paget, to Ralph
Paget, which it is understood, will
take place on October 2S at King
Observation-Disclosures.
Ralph Paget is described in some
accounts of the engagement as a rel
alive of the financee, but the rela-
tionship is extremely remote. In
fact, Lady Paget describes it as
something like a thirty-third cousin
ship.
Ralph Paget is now at Balmoral.
where he has gone by command of
the king, who had special liking for
his father, Sir Augustus Paget, who
was, in some respects, during his
long tenure of office at Vienna, re-
garded as the beau ideal by his
brother ambassadors.
The young couple will pass their
honeymoon on the continent, and
then go to Bangkok, where Paget is
the British minister and consul gen
eral.
This marriage will be a quiet one.
which will not be the case with that
of Anna Breese, daughter of the late
w. L. Breese of New York, with Lord
Alastair Innes, which will occur the
latter part of October at the fashion
able church of st. Georges in Han
over Square.
The American ambassadors daugh-
ter, Jean Reid, who returned from
America recently, and Nelly Post
will act as bridesmaids with two
small nieces of the groom, the Misses
Orr and Ewing. Miss Breese will
wear rich ivory satin dress draped
with point d'Alencon and richly
worked with pearl embroidery. The

corn color.
Lord Alastair, by the way, is heir
presumptive of his brother, the Duke
OF Roxburghe, like whom he render
ed notable service in the South Afri-
can war, obtaining no fewer than five
clasps on his medals.
There is an old saying in the In

WHOSE WHO?
Hungarian Government Wants Pedi.

give of Miss Vanderbilt.
NEWPORT. II. l.. Oct. 19.-Be-
cause the Hungarian government in
sists upon knowing officially who
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt is, the date of
her birth and the names of her par
ents, she will not marry Count SEE
chenyi at the Breakers November
as planned.
Instead the ceremony will take
place in New York at Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt's house, and unless the
pretty inlaid box of pedigrees that
was forwarded to Hungary today still
omits some statistics esteemed vital
by the king of the country the new
date will be in early December.
All this disarrangement of care
fully laid plans is due to the ex-
traordinary interest which Hungary
takes in keeping its aristocracy up to
the old-time mark. Count Szechenyi,
as a scion of that aristocracy, Is held
by his government in a most paternal
grip and it is written that before he
takes his bride everything about her
must be proved to be all right
Wherefore the request for details,
which have been sent, but cannot be
passed upon with the proper amount
of red tape intervening until too late
for marriage at the Breakers.
Mrs. Vanderbilt has, therefore,
confided her alternative with a few
friends with the added announcement
that there will be both a common law
and religious service in order to con-
form to the divergent religious be-
liefs of the bridegroom and bride.
But matter of even more vital
gossip came forth today in the failure
of both the brides brother and her
brother-in-law to join the general re-
joicing over her approaching nup-
tials.
Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt and her sis
ter-in-law, Mrs. Reginald, laid their
scruples aside quite plainly last Sat-
urday when they attended the con-
gratulatory banquet given by Miss
Gladys mother. But it became OBJ
vious today that Alfred and Reginald
and Harry Payne Whitney have not
forgotten the anti-foreign vow which
the bride-to-be made her father be-
fore his death.
Though all three have been with
in easy reach of the Breakers they
have not yet congratulated Miss
Gladys nor entered into the pre-nup-
tial councils which Mrs. Vanderbilt,
her. daughter, the count and Mrs. AL
fred hold daily in preparation for the
big event.
| Another effort to reconcile them to
the match will be made next Satur-
day, when the mother will give a
final dinner of felicitation. The pres
ence or absence of the recalcitrant
relatives is awaited with breath we'll
night abated by the entire Newport
set.
