GOULD FILES ANSWER
HIS REPLY TO DIVORCE COMPLAINT
IS ATTACK ON WIFE.
Dustin Farnum, the Actor, Is Named as
Correspondent in the Ac-
ton.

NEW YORK, April THE matrimon-
ial experiences of Howard Gould are
amply told in his answer 20 his wifes
suit for separation. The answer was
filed yesterday in the supreme court with
Justice Bowling, who reserved decision
on q motion made by Mrs. Gould's law
yer for an order to settle the issues for
trial before a jury.
The first question Mrs. Gould will
have to refute, whether the suit be tried
in open court or not, is whether she was
guilty of improper, immodest, lewd,
and lascivious conduct" with Dustin
Farnum, the actor.
Farnum, when he heard of the
charges, denied them one and all. He
testify in the case.
Howard Gould alleges and realleges
that on many occasions at the Hotel st.
Regis and elsewhere his wife, who for
merly was known as katherine Glen
mons, protege of Buffalo Bill Cody,
was guilty of such conduct with Far
mum.
Howard Gould says that in Septem-
Der. 1906, his wife became "enamored
and infatuated' with Dustin Farnum,
that she attended every performance he
gave. followed him on his New England
itinerary, and even followed him up i'll
Brooklyn, taking him to and from the
theater i'll her automobile. Her con-
duct Gould says, became n public scan
dial, especially among the members of
Farnum's company.
Allegations of Mrs. Gould's use of
intoXicants form large part of her hus-
bands answers. He charges broadly
that since the autumn of 1902, ON many
occasions he has been embarrassed, hui
inflated and insulted by his wife, who
behaved i'll public frequently in such Il
Ouarrelsome, violent. abusive and IRA
tional manner before friends and stran-
gers as to make life with her impossible

THANKS TO JOHN BULL.

Fleet on Voyage.

LONDON, April THE informal re-
ply of President Roosevelt to the invi-
tation Of Great Britain offering facili-
ties of British ports to the American
battleship feet on its voyage around the
world and asking the fleet to visit an
English port has been received at the
foreign office here. The President says
the last leg of the voyage has not been
arranged, but he thanks the British gov
ernment 1t is hardly expected that
the fleet will come to England. Malta
and Gibraltar are mentioned in the Brit
ish invitation as ports where facilities
will be placed at the disposal of the fleet

DISCREDITSWA RUMOR
Turkey Prepares for Interior Disorders
and Not for Conflict with
Russia.
pETERSRURG,

ST. PETERSBURG, April T.
Alarmed at a revival of the rumors that
war is impending between Russia and
Turkey, the Turkish ambassador to Rus
STA today called upon Foreign Minister
Dywolsky and reiterated the previous
denials of his government that the Turk
ish military preparations in northeastern
Turkey were directed against Russia
They had been undertaken, he explained,
because of the prospect of disorders in
the interior. The mobilization of troops
and particularly the dispatch of several
hattalions to Van had been carried for
ward in order to cope with the Armc-
MAN and revolutionary movement in that
district.

In Defense of Cats.

1t is a fact that The cat is an enemy
of birds and other animals to such an
extent that we could be better off with
out the cat than without the creatures

possible to decide this question, but we
have no doubt that if put to vote all
the rats and mice in the world would
vote that the cats should go. 1t seems
that here is another case where it is not

Precious Plant Stones.

Among the many strange things to be found in the Philippine Islands are the so called plant stones" encounter ed now and again in certain vegetable growths. The bamboo, for instance, according to Kultur und Natur, con. taiDs stone very similar to the opal. but on account of the rarity with which 1t Is found 1t is much more costly than the opal. In many thousand cane stalks cut down and carefully examined there may perhaps be one in which this beau dful greenish pink sclntillating stone has been formed from the minute parti eles of siliceous deposit that imparts Its intense hardness to the outer GOV ering of the cane. The bamboo cane stone is known as tabashirs. In the interior of some cocoanuts a stonelike secretion is found that Is not inferior h brilliancy to the most beautiful gen. uine pearl.

Wonderful Builders.

A personal inspection of the pyra- mids made by an English quarry own. or led him to the conclusion that tho old Egyptians were better builders than those of the present day. He found blocks of stone in the pyramids weighing three or four times as much as the obelisks on the banks of the Nile. He saw stone the estimated weight of which was 500 tons. MaHy of the stones were found to be thirty feet in length and fitted so closely to gether that the blade of a penknife could be run over the surface withou, discovering the break between them There is no machinery, he claims, so perfect that 1t will make two surfaces thirty feet in length which will meet together in unison as the stones in the pyramids meet.

Now Frost Affsets Plants.

Plants do not freeze to death in win tsr, but perish from thirst. The proc sss is simple. The cold causes the withdrawal of the water from the cells of the plant forming ice crystals out sade of the cells The frost, cooling and contracting the surface. acts as a sort of pump, and as soon as the cell is emptied of its life giving fluid the plant dies. The truth of this theory has been proved by numerous careful experiments. Great variation vas found in the amount of cold necessary to cause the death of vegetation. Some plants dry out quickly and are killed before the freezing point is reached Many plants will survive zero weather, and some die only at 20 degrees be- low. Certain vegetable growtEs never freeze. There are forms of bacteria that even when immersed in liquid air, the intensest cold available. come out of their bitter bath as chipper and live ly as ever.-Chicago Tribune.
