CLAMBAKE THIS AFTERNOON
Features OF Yesterday Afternoon and
Evening Were Lectures and Social
Gathering at Bennington Club.

The gathering OF electricians in at
tendance upon the seventh annual

association has been increased by the
coming of other members OF the as
ISOLATION and representatives OF the
electrical manufacturing and supply
houses until this morning fully $50
were present The meeting is pro-
nounced to be by far the largest In
the history OF the association and
there has not yet been discovered a
single individual who has expressed
himself in other than highly common
datory terms of the occasion.
The weather could not have been
more favorable and the local mem
bers of the association, with iDdomi-
table energy OF President L, L. Lar
rabee behind them, have made every
effort to help along the festivities and
the general program.
Following the business session Of
yesterday afternoon at Foresters'
hall there was a highly instructive
lecture on The Tungsten Lamp" in
its relation to small stations by II. G..
Rice OF Cleveland, o.. which was fol-
lowed by an interesting discussion.
Early last evening Superintendent
h. E. Larrabee gave a dinner at the
Bennington club, in honor of Thomas
G. Martin, editor of THE Electrical
World TO dozen guests.
Last evening the members Of the
association were guests OF the Ben
nington club at its rooms In the op-
era house block where Frank b. Rae
Jr, and George Williams of New York
gave a lantern slide illustrated lee
ture on "Commerciallsm" depicting
and describing the many uses of cleo
tricity in business, and particularly
in the Illuminating OF signs.
At 1890 this forenoon a special
car over the Bennington and North

II you knew as well as we do how good prep
aration Kodol is for indigestion and dyspepsia, 1t
would be unnecessary for us TO guarantee single
bottle:
But to get you to know how good 1t is as well
as we know, we practically will purchase the first
bottle for you.
You wonder, perhaps, how we can afford to
make such an offer-It Is because we have abso-
lutte confidence in the honesty and fairness Of the
public.
We know there are thousands Of persons who
suffer from indigestion and dyspepsia, who would
be grateful to us for putting them in touch with
Kodol.
That is why.
Furthermore we know that after you have
used Kodol your faith in the preparation will be
equal to ours.
This proposition We make is not altogether
unselfish, but 1t is actuated by the knowledge
that the use of Kodol by you will benefit you as
well as ourselves.
How could we afford to make such an offer
to the public and how could we afford to spend
thousands of dollars to tell you about it unless we
positively knew and were sure Of the merits OF
Kodol?
We couldnt-it would bankrupt US.
But we know the merits Of Kodol and we want
you to know.
Use Kodol as directed and 1t cannot fail to
help you.

CHICKENS LAY BLUE EGGS.

There arrived this morning on the
British steamship Ghazee, from Singa-
pore, the strangest lot of animals of
the Far East that ever landed in South
Brooklyn. There was a japanese goose
that looked like a cross between a heron
and a chicken; a wild Chinese bull,
about as big as a Newfoundland dog;
chickens that laid blue eggs through
out the long voyage of 10000 miles,
and several snakes of the sand variety
who have the habit of burrowing under
the sands of the Eastern deserts and
repose there for their siestas.
"Monkey Sam, :" "Snakey Joe" and
Som, the dog man, all animal fanciers,
were among the first to arrive to see
what they could gather up for disposal
to the geological gardens of the coun'
try. 1t was a busy day for the curious
and the hunters after the queer in ami
NAL life.
The Ghazee had AZ days of absolute
drought-as far as rain was concerned.
She had terrific monsoons in the Indian
Ocean and a bad gale in the Mediter-
ranean; but it was all wind, and no
precipitation from the heavens occurred
until the freighter neared the American
shores. Then the officers and crew
walked about the deck barefoot and in
their thin Oriental suits, so as to eaten
all the benefit of the downpour.-

sees brown shades which turn black
when they grow a few years older.
The men have handsome dark
boards, shaggy eyebrows, sparkling

prominent cheek bones and high fore
heads, and bushy heads of hair.
The women average 5 feet IL or 2
inches, the men ) feet inches.
Ainu men are proud of their boards,
which often are exceedingly long, for
they begin to grow these boards when
they are boys. BY the time a man is
20 he usually manages to have good
beard. and one that is far longer when
he reaches 80. But the women are not
to be outdone, and though most of
them cannot raise long crop of hair
on the lower part of the face, they
make up for it by having a long mus
lip. They think this makes them look
manly.
Every girl undergoes this painful
operation as she advances into young
womanhood. She is willing to under
go this suffering to be in fashion.
A woman who lived among these
people many years kept young girl as
maid servant, and the woman was in
sistent that the girl s face was not to
be married by tattooing. But one day
the woman went off on a short journey,
and when she returned home she found
the girl had her face tattooed. When
she asked the girl for an explanation
she was answered: "'I am no white

Strangest People in World
Women of Queer Race Have Mustache and
Beard Tattooed on Their Faces.

Though ethnologists and anthropolo-
gists find many unusual peoples among
the Kaffirs, Iodas, Australians, etc.,
they are quite certain that there are
no people so strange as the Ainu of
Japan. The name itself is peculiar,
for, while Ainu means mon or men the
name by which they are often called,
AinO means half brute, a beast or
mOngrel.
Although now confined to Yezo. part
of Saghalien and the southern portions
of the Kurile Island, the Ainu territory
once comprised almost the whole of
Japan. In the national traditions
there was a time when they could look
out on the waters and exclaim: ''GOd
of the sea, open your divine eyes.
Wherever your eyes turn there echoes
the sound of the Ainu speech. The
full blooded and the half caste are re-
mote survivors of the remote Asiatic
branch of the Caucasian race. They
are dying out so quickly that the num-
her is now limited to about 10000.
They are not Mongolians, as some eth
nologiSts have described them, though
their low stature, the coloring and the
shape of their skulls would indicate
MongOlian surroundings.
The first thing that is certain to i'm
press the stranger is their hirsuteness,
the entire body from head to toe being
covered with fine hair. In considering
their appearance one must admit two
things-that they are monkey-like and
exceedingly dirty. According to an
explorer, who spent much time study
ing these people, the forehead of the
Ainu is narrow and sharply sloped
backward. The cheek bones are prom
inent and the nose is hooked, slight
ly fiattened and broad, with wide,
strong nostrils.
The mouth generally is large, with
thick. firm lips, and the underlip well
developed. The space from the nose
to the mouth is extremely long, while
