Among the prettiest neck ruffs is the

White tulle is an excellent substitute

STUDIES SPEED OF ANIMALS.
European Engineer Gives Surprising
Results of Long observation.

Results of Long Observation.
For fifteen years Joseph Olshausen
a European engineer, has been study
ing the speeds of many kind of animals
Man reaches remarkable velocities, but
only by artificial aids, good pedes-
TRANS rate being a sixteenth OF a mile
in twelve seconds, while German
soldier marches three miles an hour
and five miles quickstep. The greatest
speed of an athlete thus far noted is
the initial velocity of 1913 inches a sec.
ond of broad jumper.
The averager swimmers rate is thir.
ty-nine inches a second, the oarsman's
in an eight-oared barge is 1917 inches
and the skaters is nine to ten yards,
while the runner on skis has made
twenty four yards a second and the
jumper on skis has reached almost
forty yards. The record on a bicycle
is sixty-six yards a second. The horse
makes long gallops at six miles an
hour, the fastest dog-the Russian
wolf hound-shows seventy-five feet a
second and the gazelle attains, eighty
feet a second.
Aided by winds the ostrich is the
fastest runner, sometimes making nine
ty-eight feet a second. In measured
flights the Virginia rainpiper has a
record of 1900 yards minute and the
European swallow has exceeded 5000
yards The slowest creatures are
snails and certain small beetles, a
healthy snail's highest speed being five
and one-half inches an hour.
For fractions of a second certain
small creatures have almost incredible
speeds, mouse of the African descrip-
ton jumping ten feet at the rate of
800 feet a second, while the common
flea jumps with an initial velocity of
$50 feet, or ten miles minute

wash hastily, letting the tub fill gradu
ally. If the salt bath is used, do not
throw the salt towel in the laundry
let it collect the salt. In beauty bath
houses each individual has salt towel
that is used countless times, because it
gets thoroughly saturated and is more
beneficial. A cold bath should not last
longer than five minutes.

Electricity Does the Work.

Machinery which has lightened the
hardest labor of the farmer, miner and
all other industries which were once
laboriOus and severe, has at last been
adapted to the less strenuous but ey-
hausting household work, and electric
ity has proved to be the medium. To
such extent have the labor sa wing de-
vices been developed, says Popular Me-
chanics, there is now scarcely anything
to be done about the house which can
not be performed by turning switch
or touching a button. Cleaning, sweep
ing, washing, heating cooking, chop
ping-all these and many more are
now done without the expenditure Of
any strength. The wire that brings in
the light brings also tiyeless, ever
ready force which instantly responds to
every call by day or night.

Dyeinr a BIOuse

Silk blouses, with the exception of

well, while satin in particular repays
the trouble and expense of dyeing, but
care should be taken to remove any
cotton sewing there may be in a silk

'Mr. Greville is not fond of putting
aside his own duckweed," put in Alison,
mischieyously, for there was nothing she
loved better than to tease the old man
about his grandson, who was literally the
apple of his eye.
He reused up directly at her irony.
Come now, that is too bad to say that
of the lad when he fights all your bat

TO DEFEND YANKEE SPARROW
America Will be Taught Virtues of
Its Birds

New York, Oct. 2 Because not
one American IN a hundred has
been found who knows the differ
ence between the pestlferOus
European House sparrow, COM
monty known as the English
sparrow, and the intensely valu-
able sparrows native TO this coun-
try, an educaii )nal campaign is
being launched in this city today
with the object of making every
citizen of the L. S. acquainted
with his feathered compatriots.
Taking as a text the sins of the
foreign bird which are visited up
on the head of his innocent Amer
lean cousins, the National asso-
citation of Audubon societies is
planning to establish what may
prove a university of ornithology
for the nation.
The ignorance of the distinction
between the native sparrows and
the injurious species from across
the ocean is causing the wholesale
slaughter of Americas most valu-
able bird race has been proven by
recent Investigations of the pro-
ieetors of this scheme. Great
numbers of the little Yankee
birds, who it has been shown
clear ninety per cent of the weeds
from every garden and field, are
found to be falling before the I'M
informed ravanger of the ravages
of their cockney cousins. That a
sparrow is a sparrow has been dis
covered to be the unhappy belief
of the great majority of the peo-
pie of this country, where the pest
of the English house sparrow is
being more and more resented.
The government authorities
have declared the American spar
row to be of greater value to agri-
culture than any other species and

couragement. Exhaustive scien-
tiic investigation by these experts
have proven that the native spar
rows are practically innocent of
consuming any cultivated fruits,
while the English sparrow is a
notorious destroyer of buds and
blossoms, grain, fruit and garden
seeds. This imported house spar
row. utterly unlike ours, is also
guilty Of driving AWAY native
birds from their fields of useful
ness and in addition is noisy and
filthy, befouling vines and build
