MACHINE PLUCKs POULTRY.
East Orange Inventor Has One Tha
Makes the Feathers Fly

Theodore G. Griggs Of 1O1 North Eff
teenth street. East Orange is the in
yentor OF q fOwl-pluckipg device, which
poultry raiserS who have inspected il be-
1ieve will fill a want in the industry.
Other machines have been invented to
d. the work which Griggs provides for
in his machine, but none has heretofore
been anything more than an interesting
piece OF machinery, with little practical
worth.
Griggs departs from the lines followed
in other machines and Introduces an en-
tirelv new method. The fowl to be
pluCked is placed on an endless travelling
belt and carried through series of fin
gers, which are 80 arranged that they go
over the entire bird, plucking it clean o.
feathers. The danger of tearing the skin
is avoided by the simple expedient OF
having the fingers clutch only a few
feathers at a time. The size Of the bird
is no factor whatever. 1t will stay in
the machine until plucked, whether large
or small. A pneumatic tube carries
away the feathers as tast rs they are
removed.
Griggs is a civil engineer, and never
raised 8 chicken in his life, but lie no.
ticed a few years ago, while visiting a
friend who runs a poultry farm, that the
labor Of removing feathers from the birds
was one Of the chief items Of cost IN pre-
pairing the product for market. II is said
that the owner Of one Of his machines
will be able to reduce his expenses by 20

German Actors Poorly Paid.

The world in general is frequently
told that in Germany the theater is
much more popular, much better under
stood and more intelligently appreciated
generally by both public and actors
than elsewhere. If this is true the
managers Of other countries may have
cause to revise their salary lists, for it is
in the matter of pay apparently that
there is the great fundamental difference
between Germany and the United States
or England.
The figures published by the German
Stage association show that only 10 per
cent of the artists earn more than $3.50
a year and fully half make less than
$3.50. Stars in the provinces and the
smaller court theaters receive Only from
$3.50 to $500 and have to spend FROM 500
to 5000 on their wardr0bes. In Nurem-
berg, a city with nearly $4,000 inhaDir-
ants, salaries at the Vollls theater range
from 1913 to about $45 a month.

RETURN OF THE Top HAT.

Top hats" says the English Gentle.

be denied that the silk hat has of late
years experienced & somewhat anxious
time. \ succession of unusually hot
summers, aided and aberted by a fash.
ion among business men for offending
city satoriaI tradition by going to thei
work IN lounge suits and b0wlers, to say
nothing tbs panamas, gave the silk hat q
very severe knock.
This was made pretty plain by the
silk hat manufacturers meeting at the
White city last year, to protest against
our Gesertion of a tile By which they
themselves kept q roof over their heads.
But their troubles, if ever they were
very serious, are over now. The silk hat
has most surely come into its own again,
and we shall hear no more, for some
years at least, Of strawyard AsCots and
panama GC0dwoods.
eft is now and will be during the sea-
son absolutely the correct thing for all
dressy occasions. All the best dressed
men both of the west end and the city,
both of the club life and the Office life,
have discarded their less formal hats and
taken very seriously to their silk hats
and morning coats. The excellent ex>

Suffocated bv q Dog.

The danger Of leaving infants alone in
their cradles in q room with dogs or cats
has been exenplihed once more in the
case of a poor family Of charcoal burners
near Coulommiers, France. After their
midday meal the parents, who are named
Huot, went into the forest to resume
their work, leaving their little daughter
Suzana, aged 3 months, sleeping in her
cradle, under the protection Of Two dogs.
No sooner had the parents gone than one
of the dogs ieaped into the cradle and
curled itself up to sleep on the top Of the
infant When the father and mother re-
turned some hours later they saw the
dog jump from the cradle and run out of
the door The mother hurried 70 her in
