According to the New York World
Theodore Molkinten, once . crack
horseman of the German army, will
attempt to break the worlds record
for long distance riding by travelling
from New York to Chicago in seven
days, without changing horses. MOI
kinten, who was for three years :
member of the First regiment of the
German raiding artillery, said:
THE record of the world il new
held by cavelryman in the German
army, who rode from Berlin to Wen

New York to Chicago the distance il

Elkins Match Secret Finally Disclosed

ton is refused by the officials.
1t is known that later, when the
counting of the duke of the Abruzzi
was approaching a crisis, that Senator
Elkins requested friends in Rome to
ascertain and advise him what would
be the status of Lis daughter if she
married into the royal family. He
was notified that the marriage would
be considered morganatic unless the
Italian parliament passed an act giving
the daughter full recognition. He was
at the same time warned that the Ital.
ian parliament could subsequently re-
peal it's legislation, leaving the mar.
riage in the same position as if the
act of recognition had not been
passed.
1t is understood here that Senator
Elkins did not make any request of
the state department to ascertain for
him the status of American women
marrying either a member of the
royal family or an Italian nobleman
but had the investigation conducted
by one of his personal friends at that
time in Rome.

"Bet your life," exclaimed John,
"and I haven't seen table for ten

Johns memory for dates and

that his mental faculties have in no

John never exerts himself in any

last summer from an Incubator on a
farm near Delhi, N. Y, while Dr.
Chapman was spending his vacation
there. They lived through the sum.
mer, but froze early in the fall. Dr.
Chapman took notes with great care
of their daily experiences, and the
cosmic scientists listened with bated
breath as he read his report on the
phenomenon.
The naked chickens, he declared,
did~'t like their condition. Hair re-
sto-er, vaseline and other things were
used IN the effort to induce feathers
to grow, but without avail. The
chicks lost appetite, their modesty
was constantly being shocked by the
curiosity Of prying world, and when
cold weather came they died early.
But to the Cosmos scientists the
question of profound concern relates
to the possibility nf developing breed
of hairless chickens that will not sea.

require in the kitchen the difficult
work of picking. DR.. Chapman pointed
out with eloquent earnestness the
benefits humanity would derive. He
did not doubt that men in native
state were once as hairy as monkeys;
civilization substituted clothes, and
the hair vanished. Why not likewise
with poultry, The club is deeply
stirred and further experiments in
bald poultry are contemplated.
