VitrIoIie Writer Refuses to See Any

But with the bass singer 1t is diff
ferent. Here we have normal man,
entirely sound in mind, who yet bel
lows like a bull OF Bashan. He stands
up. he clears his throat, he throws
back his head and his Adams apple
begins to tremble. At once there is
sues from his CLOTHS long. sinuous
snake of sound. 1t goes down, down,
down. down-a mad tumble OF boots,
whoops and howls-leaving civiliZa'
ton and the diatonic scale behind 1t
and entering the undiscovered coun-
ry of the ultraviolet tones. Beside
il the ultimate grunt of bullflddle
seems like the shrill scream of pic
colo, and the neither blast of B fiat
ophicleide like an. oboe's jumping-off
note. IL shakes the building and
clouds the heavens. 1t makes strong
men quake with fear and brings sor-
row to the home. And all the while
the basso profundo is a sane man,
who knows what he is doing. For him
we urge the knout. Let him be
dragged to the courthouse square and
logged. Let him taste the bastinado.

PLAGUE OF SOUTHERN RIVERS
Water Hyacinth a Menace and Hard
to Extermnate.

In the battle which has been waged
against the water hyacinth which
chokes up many of the rivers of the
southern part of the United States,
the matter has been complicated to
serious degree by the fondness
which cattle exhibit for this plant 1t
is almost without food value, but
there is something about 1t which at
tracts the animals, and they have
been known to be lured to death in
Only one method has been discovered
to eradicate 1t, and that was by the
use of powerful acids, which were
sprayed upon the plants and which
were very effective in killing 1t, but
this application was the means OF
killing a great number OF animals,
and the practice was discontinued by
act of congress. In the last two years
investigations have been conducted by
the government In the effort to dis
cover some means of making this APP
plication in such a manner as to over
come the danger to cattle, but 1t has
been without success. 1t was found
that the cattle could not be prevented
from eating the sprayed plants, and
that all effective compounds for the
purpose were deadly to the cattle. Un-
der the existing circumstances the
only manner in which the growth is
combated is by cutting It out in
blocks by the use of special ma
chlnery and boats and towing the
tangled mass to the open water and
setting It adrift. There is known to
exist parasitic fungus growth which
attacks the hyacinth leaves from be-
meath, forming concentric circles, and
In time completely kills the leaves. 1t
would seem that further investigation
along this line should be considered.

lair BEST PHYSICAL INDEX.
Japanese Physician Explains His
Theory on the Subject.

Modern medical men declare that
the finger nails afford better evidence
as to the state of a persons health
than the eye or the color or texture
of the skin. A very distinct gloss and
a rapid growth of the nail are always,
they declare, symptomatic of good
circulation. digestion and general
health. DR.. Matsura, the well-known
physician of Tokyo, while admitting
the claims of the finger nail to be an
index of the health, prefers that oil
the hair as indicating better than any
thing else loss and gain in physical
well being.
He has established from his obser-
walton that the hair grows less III
volume in proportion as the health de-
clines. He has even measured the ex'
tent Of the decline by observing the
decrease in the diameter Of series
of hairs. Badness, Matsura, following
his theory, declares to be due really. to
constitutional weakness which does
not, however, always actively declare
itself even to the victim. He claims
for the result of his Investigations
that II they do not necessarily serve
the interests Of pathological science,
they cannot but prove valuable in the
case OF post.mortem examinations, IN.

HOTTEST SPOT ON THE EARTH
Musendam Peninsula Said to Hold
That Unenviable Record.

The hottest place on earth is said
to be the Musendam peninsula, at the
entrance to the Persian gulf from the
Ormuz islands. The scenery of the
Elphinstone inlet to the peninsula is
grand, but desolate. The native can
live In the place only from November
to March. A cable station was once
established on Telegraph island. but it
had to be abandoned. Some of the
men died, others went mad and the
rest fed. In Malcolm inlet there is
no sign of life. The rocks in the fore
ground are entirely red, the sea the
most brilliant and intense blue, the
distant mountains purple. The people
of the peninsula are OF primitive
type, and probably represent an Arab
strain mingled with far earlier
stock. They live In rude stone huts,
and their principal food is fish.

posed of the story published in the To

reached home the substance Of the
story was repeated to him, and he
made the following statement:
THE statement published in the
Times is grossly misleading. The
only basis for any such statement l
can recall is this: AS was leaving the
hotel to take the train for Cincinnati,
a gentleman introduced himself to me
and told me he represented the Times
and that the Associated Press was
sending out a story giving an account
of an agreement that had been enter
ed into as a basis for peace between
Judge Taft and myself and he wanted
me TO give him my version Of the mat
ter.
Il told him no agreement of any
kind had been made or suggested that
there was no trouble between Judge
Taft and myself that the trouble so
much talked about in newspapers was
that | had not made at
any time any request OF Judge Taft
and he had not made any of me; that
We had met on the reviewing stand
and at public meeting, which we
both addressed; that our conversation
on the reviewing stand was only so
cial and that which would be natur-
ally suggested by the character of the
occasion; that at the public meeting
we had no private conversation and
what we had said at the public meet
ing spoke for itself. That is all there
is of 1t. wish there could be some
way found to stop this mischief max

VIEW TREES IN CHURCHMAN'S
Two In England of Which Records
Have Been Kept.

Now and again a record may be
found in old church accounts, or in
some other parish document, Of the
planting of trees in the English
churchyards. When Thomas Ken, the
author of Morning and Evening
Hymns" afterward bishop of Bath
and Wells, was rector of East Wood
hay, near Newbury, Eng, he planted,
we learn, yew tree in the church
yard The tree stands on the north
side of the church, and though plant
ed over 200 years ago, its trunk only
now measures IN circumference some
seven feet seven inches. At Portches-
ter, on the north side OF the Norman
church which is situated within the
castle walls, there stands yew with
an interesting history. 1t appears that
the tree which formerly stood there
was killed by the smoke from the
kitchens of the French prisoners,
some 5000 of whom were confined in
the castle during the war with Ma
poleon at the beginning Of the last
century. The church warden's book
records the fact that on the departure
of the French prisoners new tree
was planted in the place Of the one
that had been destroyed The trunk
of this'yew tree, at the height of four
feet from the ground, now measures
seven feet two inches in circum-
ference.

Removing Paint from Wood.

The easiest way to remove paint

this softens the paint to such a do
gree that 1t Is then easily scraped OF
with painters lat-ended knife. II
such lamp cannot be had, the paint
may be removed by applying strong
soda I've, and after leaving it for some
time scraping it of as before. If the
wood is to be repainted, II Is neces-
sary to go over 1t first with vinegar
or weak acid TO Kill" or neutralize the
soda which would prevent the paint
from adhsring.
