FROZEN PLUM PUDDING.

For the plum pudding. both frozen
and hot, the recipes are legion. The
foundation of the frozen pudding is a

chocolate or coffee, as preferred. Cut
up candied cherries. seedless raisins,
citron. currants and preserved pine
apple, and let them soak in little
brandy or sherry wine for five hOurs.
If this is not done the fruit will be
hard and stiff when frozen. When the
custard has cooled. pour it in the
freezer. and when firm. remove dasher
and beat till smooth. Drain the fruit,
dust with a pinch or two Of pulverized
spices and stir well into the cream.
Repack and let ripen for two hours.
Serve with whipped cream favored
with brandy.

TO KILL OFF 100000 CATS.
Better Chloroform Board of Trade.
Declares Directing Woman.

Wilmington, Del, March 9.-Having
inaugurated such immense projects as
the inland waterways movement, the
Wilmington Board Of Trade has now
turned its attention to the extermina-
ton of the cat family in this city. The
organization is planning a campaign
against pussy and all because it has
been said the cat is an excellent convey
ance for the diphtheria germs.
Just how the cats are to be annihila-
ted has not been determined, but the
municipal committee of the board is
wrestling with the problem whether
they will use dynamite or poison. 1t
has been estimated there are 100000
cats in Wilmington. If each has nine
lives there will be 100000 deaths in the
near future if the plans of the Board
of Trade are successful.
Women of the city are opposing the
slaughter, claiming the mice and rats
that would infest the city when the
cats are gone would be far worse than
the cats themselves. Emily Webb, who
has gained publicity because of the in
terest she takes in the dumb BEASTS, in
a public letter, claims she can solve
the problem. "Chloroform the members
of the Board of Trade''is her suggestion.
However, the matter is in the hands of
the municipal committee of the trade
board.

LittleRuth POlsdOrfer of Ottawa
Finds Medicinal Tablets
Prescribed for a Relatives Heart
and Contained Arsenic.
CANDY
Had Been Placed Out of Sight
on a Clock Shelf.
Nearly 80 of Them and twas
Supposed She Ate All.

Ottawa, Kan, March 9.-Little Ruth
Polsdorfer, 3 years old, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. F. C. Polsdorfer of 9O4 South
Cedar street, died in commissions about
half past o'clock at night after wal
lowing a quantity of strychnine tablets
prescribed for her grandmother. Mrs.
]. s. Kicker, who makes her home with
her daughter, Mrs. Polsdorfef.
The tablets were taken by Mrs.
Kicker as a heart tonic and a weeks
supply of them was sent to her by her
box. A few minutes before, the nurse
attending Mrs. Kicker, Mrs. o. G.
Hughes, gave Mrs. Kicker one of the
tablets and then took the precaution to
place the box behind a small clock on
the side bracket of a dresser, out of the
way.
The child had evidently observed this
fact and when left alone climbed up and
secured the box.
The tablets were small, oval in shape
and coated with red gelatine, looking
not unlike the cinnamon drops sold in
candy stores. That little Ruth thought
they were candy and so swallowed them
is evident.
The first intimation the family had
of the child's condition was when she
was heard to fall from a chair to the
floor of the room where she had been
playing. She was in commissions when
they reached her and although doc
tor was instantly summoned and drove
to the Polsdorfer home Immediately,
she was dead when he arrived.
The fact that the clock had been
moved led the nurse to suspect, when
her illness was first discovered, that
little Ruth had swallowed the tablets.
Mrs. Hughes asked her if she had
taken the tablets and she replied that
she had
How many?" asked the nurse.
Three" replied the child.
The other tablets could not be found,
however, and it is believed that the
little girl took all of them.
Little Ruth was one of the most
beautiful children in Ottawa, strong
and healthy with big blue eyes and
haxen hair. She was bright and at
tractive and greatly admired.

Discoveries Made in Efforts to Bring
1t to Perfection.

Wireless biography has slipped into
our everyday life SO quietly, that few
realize the perfection it has attained
Last October the first wireless mes
sage was flashed across the Atlantic.
Today New York papers are receiving
their foreign dispatches by wireless.
There has been no celebration such as
attended the opening of the McAdoo
tunnel in New York last week. Think
of the formality and celebration at
tending the laying of the first trans
atlantic cable. The wireless method is
far more wonderful. Wireless telegra-
ply is a fact demonstrated to be prac-
teal and economical.
There are now eight separate COM
panies prepared to build and install
"cableless'' telegraph apparatus.
In the efforts made to perfect wire
less biography many queer facts have
come to light which have caused a
good deal of establishment. 1t has, for
instance long been noticed that it is
twice the distance by night than it is
by day. 1t is impossible to send q
message through the air at sunrise and
sunset on account of the weakness of
the Hertzian wave at these times. 1t
is easier to send a message on a foggy
than on a bright day, this being due
to the fact that streams Of electrified
particles resembling the cathode rays
are elected from the sun with a very
high velocity, and that these streams
nenetrate the earth's surface on the
day side, electrifying 1t and making it
more conductive. During the; night the

importance Of wireless telegraphy could
possibly be found than in the Inter
national Radiotelegraphic conference
held at Berlin in 1906. This congress
was made up of delegates from Ameri-
ca, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy,
France, Hungary and Russia. These
gentlemen have gravely deliberated as
to the best means of preventing a mon
opo1y of the heavens by the Marconf
interests. y
AS a result, laws will be made by
the various countries compelling wire
less stations to receive and transmit
messages from ships, even though they
are sent by rival systems. International
rates will be fixed, stations will give
priority to calls for help from ships at
sea, and there Will be universal code
and universal tuning. A bill along
these lines has just been passed by the
British house of commons, although
bitterly opposed by Marconi, who point
ed out that his costly stations are thus
put at the service of any stationless in
ventor who chooses to use them
There is now bill before the United
States congress to regulate this mon

watching this test with the keenest in
terest.
American methods are represented
by the Cadillac people of Detroit,
committee of the British Royal Auto
mobile club. Three single-cylinder
cars were selected at random from a
dozen or more, filed with petroleum
and lubricating oil and driven from
London to the Brooklands track,
twenty miles out, where they were
pressed around the three-mile course
at top speed and then taken to a barn
and pulled to pieces. All that re-
manned of the cars were the three
empty frames and three heaps of
gears bolts, shafts, screws, nuts,
valves piniens, tanks. wheels and
What-not. ---
'"These heaps were then mixed into
one great mass. out of which the COM
mittee selected the parts to rebuild
each car, irrespective of what car
they came from. Moreover, the COM
mittee set aside a-dozen or so odd
parts to be replaced by corresponding

American manufacturers of every
sort. Curiously enough British and
continental manufacturers habitually
slur American machinery. while there
IS not a single important factory in
Europe which does not depend for it's
existence on American tools. This is
particularly true of the motor car in
dustry. The British factories depend
upon American machinery and yet to
speak of American cars in the same
breath with the British Is regarded al
most as an insult. II the test at

ever undertaken, is successful, and its

equilibrium becomes slowly restored,
and about g. m. there is a minimum

Marconi is undoubtedly the best
known of wireless inventors. His sue
cess has won for him international
recognition. In America DR.. Lee De
Forest has been especially successful.
His wireless telephone was the first
commercially practical one to be pat
ented, and his telephone made possible
the wireless system on board the At
lantic squadron as 1t steams to San
Francisco. On this trip for the first
time in the history of the world, com
mands are issued from the flag ship
over wireless telephone.
A new development just being per-
fected is the portable systems of Mr..
Clark and Mr.. Squire.
By means of Mr.. Squire's receiving
apparatus trees are utilized to pick up
the electric waves instead of suspended
wires. This system is so simple that
it will be Of great advantage on the
battlefield 1t will greatly aid generals
in handling an army.
The cost of wireless is only So mile
against 800 for cables and $50 for land
wires.
No moro eloquent testimony to the
