A Rare HYBRID.

The Hon. Walter ROthschild has
just presented to the British Museum
of Natural History unique example
of a cross between the Alpine ibex
and an Italian domesticated goat.
The animal. a male, presents the pro-
fuse beard and shaggy coat of the
ibex. combined with the peculiar white
marks above the eyes and nostrlls
characteristic of dOmesticated goats.
The horns are also goatlike, since
they lack the knobs so conspicuous in
the horns of the ibeX
The Alpine ibeX, it may be re-
marked, is now extinct in the Swiss
Alps and Tyrol, but survives, thanks
to the protection of the King of Italy,
on the Piedmontese side of the Monte
Rosa. Hybrirds between the Italian
goat and the ibeX of the same region
would, it might be supposed, be met
with at least occasionally. Neverthe-
less such crosses appear not to take
place save on very rare occasions.

Whv Butt I'M

DR.. John Loyejoy Elliot, head work
er of Hudson Guild settlement in
New York was lecturing some boys
from the water front on the doings of
Nero. He gave vivid picture of the
cruelty OF the emperor and thought
that he must have fixed the idea of
non-ethical deeds in the minds of his
hearers. Then he began questions.
Boys" said the teacher. what do
you think of Nero?"
There was no reply and the class
moved around upeasily.
"We1l, O'Brien, what do you think Of
Nero? Would you say he was a good
man? Would you like to know him?'
No answer, and O'Brien looked long
ingly at the door.
We'll, wasn't Nero bad man."
"He never done nothin' to me-" was
the unexpected response, rejecting
the Tammany policy of not butting
in.

New York is to have a new Saloma
and this time-when Miss Mary
Garden Makes her debut in the sensa-
tional Strauss opera next January-it
will be a Salome on the half shell.
For" said Miss Garden when I
asked her about it to-day in her apart
ment at the Lorelei, at Fifty-sixth
street and Park avenue, my Salome
will be completely clothed on one side
and will give partial effect of nudity
on the other But she will not be
naked-dear me, no! Not for me!
Nor will she have bare feet-I think
bare feet are disgusting-Ugh!"
Miss Gardens expressive shudder
was as Partisan as her speech which,
though she was born in Scotland, is a
pOlyglot affair, containing MANY
more French than English words 81
conceive my Salosle as very, very
young-sixteen perhaps. She will be
very, very thin-lean as a flame"
Miss Garden is, l think, a trife
stouter than she was last year, and
gazing at her mature loneliness I
could not help wondering how she is
going to make the weight for a Sa-
lone so lean-but | didn't dare ask.

continued the singer. II have had a

NoIsELEss MOTOR CAR ENGINE
An American Invention to Be Put on
the English Market.

the English Market.
There is the keenest curiosity
among motorists concerning the re-
ports of the Daimler company, which
is said to be the nearest to perfection
of any power producing mechanism
ever invented. The machine is the
invention of an American, G. F.
Knight, who has been working in
Coventry for some time past.
Technical experts who have seen the
motor say that it is remarkable
smooth and noiseless, simple in con-
struction and economical in operation.
But their opinions are by no means
unanimous as to it's possessing such
revolutionary features as will force it
into universal use.
The Daimler company, however, de-
clares that they are so satisfied that
they have decided to abandon forever
the poppet valve type of engine.
In Mr.. knights invention the part
of the engine liable to get out OF Or
der and most subject to wear and tear
has been eliminated. In a few words,
the invention is a new engine cylinder
in which two cast iron sleeves or
tubes are made to work up and down
by means of eccentric coupled up
with the shaft. These tubes contain
slit-shaped ports, which come into
register at the necessary intervals for
the entrance and discharge of the gas.
The poppet valves hitherto invariably
employed for the admission of the gas
into the cylinder and Tor the exhaust
are the cause of practically all the
nosie and vibration of the present day
motor car, and will, of course, be done
away with.

"WilI Be Incarnate Vice."
my Salome will be sincarnate vice, -
she continued "but she will have the
unconscious vice of extreme youth.
She will be free, careless, 'insouci-
ante!'
"She will ask for John the Baptists
head, because she realizes that it is
the only way she can attain this man,
whom she loves violently the moment
she sees him. Of course, her trouble
is cerebral in a measure. But she is
a type Of her time, when people lived
according to their vices, shall l say?
And now" concluded Miss Garden,
'let me ask you question: Of
course, the production of 'Salome' is
viewed properly here as an artistic
event; but why all this extraordinary
interest so early?"
I explained as briefly as | could
about the "Salome' craze which has
been so rampant in New York that a
man when asked by waiter the day
after he had seen Gertrude Hoffman
if he wished his potatoes with their
Jackets on, replied: mo, he wanted
them nude"
Then | learned from Miss Garden
that Paris until recently has insisted
upon having its dances with much
more than their Jackets off.
