4 BEAUTIFUL woman who leads q
II double life is the latest person of
interest in WashingtOn's smart set.
The beautiful woman is Miss Harriet
Richardson, and her double life is per-
fectly proper as well as highly inter-
esting.
Three hours of each day she is Miss
Richardson of the Smithsonian institu.
tion, authority on the isopods of North
America, one of the who's Who's in
the American Men of Science and with
long string of degrees filling out the
page after her name. The other 21
hours of the day she is Miss Harriet
Richardson of Wyoming avenue, N. W.,
society favorite.
Miss Richardson inherited fortune
from her father, c. E. F. Richardson, a
wealthy land holder. She is one of
the most exquisitely dressed young
women in Washington, skilled horse
woman, globe trotter and an adept at
bridge whist. Her suitors are many
and some have been ardent. But thus
far suitors have been unable to tempt
her-for there are the isopods.
Her first deviation from society's
beaten path came when she refused to
be a bud" going to Vassar instead.

f1NCLE SAM is busy these days
u counting house flies. He has
started sort of fly census for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the relationship
between the little buzzing pests and
typhoid fever. It is believed by some
agricultural department entomologists
that hies do an awful lot towards
spreading typhoid germs around-in
fact, several of them have been caught
with the goods.
The plan, therefore, is to catch the
wicked little insects, count 'em, and
compile lot of data for comparison
with statistics furnished by the health
department as to the prevalence of
typhoid fever in localities where cap
lures are made. The fly census has,
therefore, been inaugurated in Wash.
ington and Pittsburg and may be ex.
tended to other cities.

During the night between June II
and 1S northern Denmark was visited
by the most spectacular electric storm
in Is years. For three hours the streets
of Copenhagen lay in an almost inces-
SAINT glare caused by the flashes of
lightning which played across the sky
in all directions. The rain struck the
pavement with such force that the
spray rose yard or more, and finally
the streets were flooded because the
sewers could not carry off the water
fast enough. Innumerable buildings
were struck by the lightning, but the
lightning rods did such good service
that very little damage was done. All
the electric lights were put out at
the Charlottenlund palace, where the
royal family were living. A tree was
stripped of its bark close by the kings

land great many farm buildings were
destroyed by fire from lightning.
