Ilceso de distIaccijll
de a|gunos sabies

Con OCCASION de Ia reciente re-
cepci6n de Mr.. Poincare en- Ia
'sAcademie Franchise. Frederic
Mason relata algunos episodes
referentes s la inmenss distraction
propia de este hombre de ciencia.
Siendo muy joven aun, su ma
] DIRE, que conocfa el flaco de su hijo,
le cosi6 unas campaniIlas al por-
tamonedas, q fin de que por el rui-
do adyiertkse cuando 10 dejaba caer
En- un vaje le ocurri6 poner en- la
! maleta una sabana en- lugar de su ca
misa de nocl1e.
Parece que son especialmente
los matematicos los que padecen
estas distracciones notables. Ell
celebre Newton al disponerse a ha-
Ger su declaration amorosa a Ia es-
cogida de gu coraz6n, estaba fu-
mando una pipa. En- el trascur-
20 de Ia conversation cogio carino-
samente la mano de la joven. Es-
ia esperaba que Sc declarase; pc
70 Newton Sc Gallo de repente, y
guardando siempre la mano de Ia
joven en- Ia suya, empez6 8 echar
fuertes bocanadas de hume con
su pipa, envolviendo a los dos en-
densas nubes de tabaco.
De repente echo la joven un gri-
!, to de terror. Newton, en- su distrac-
ci6n, Sc habfa servido de I'm dedo de
!, ella para apretar el tabaco arden
te de la pipa.
Cierta celebridad lograron tam
bien las distracciones de Ampe-
res. Yendo en- coche resolvio di-
ficiles problemas, hacienda las ope-
raciones con creta en- la espalda
del cohcero. AL dar sus conferen-
cias impiaba la pizarra con su pa
huelo de seda, y Sc meta en- Ell boil
sillo el trapo sucio.
Cuentase que Ell matematico La
, borde asisti6 un dfa a una boda, y
al salir de la iglesia preguht6 todo
distraido a uno de- los conocidos:
"1Vendra usted hasta el cemente-
rio?"
Pero uno de los casos mas cele-
bres le pas6 a NJ. Weis, que, ba-
10 el segundo imperio, fue nombra-
do ministro de bellas artes.
Vistiendo su nuevo uniforme
fue asistir & una fiesta palaciega
en- las Tullerfas, y no acostumbra-
do adn a verse con aquel traje, al
pasar por delante de un espejo des-
conoci6 a su propia persona y Sc
hizo a ST mismo un profundo salu-
doc.

Ossip Gabri,oWitsch.

Few artists have grown SO consist
emily as Ossip GabriloWitscil, the great
Russian pianist, who plays at Wait
man chapel on Monday, April 10. 1t
is eight years since GabriloWitsch first
visited America. He was then % years
of age and a player of wonderful
freshness and fire. Again he visited
this country four years ago, and again
showed himself an ardent lover of
beauty, but of far greater intellectual
depth, and now we have GabriloWitsch
the matured artist. His temperamentaI
ardor is undiminished, increased, rath-
err, and his technique is even more
finely developed. Musicians VINO heard
Anton Rubinstein unite in declaring
that there has been no one logically to
succeed him until GabriloWitsch He
makes even display pieces Of genuine
account musically, and enters with
such a virile spirit and such vivid
imagery into his interpretations that
he carries the listener quite beyond
mis- own preconceived imaginings. Such
a player would awaken the most I'M
musical audience to sense of beauty.
His tour is under the direction of Lois
Steers Wynn Conan.

TURKISH WOMEN SMUGGLE
DYNAMITE. UNDER SKIRTS
Persian Diplomat Tells Of Part Taken
by Women Of Turkey During
Present Revolutionary Crisis.


NEW YORK April 15.-What ORR
entail women are doing in politics, a
subject of particular interest at this
time, in view Of the revolutionary dis
turabnce in Turkey, is told by Col.
Mesrope Newton Kahnn, a member of
Imperial Persian legation. In an ad-
dress before the Women's Republican
club, at the Waldorf yesterday, he de-
clared that the suffrage movement in
England was nothing compared with
the activity of the women in the Or
lent.
practically all the arms and ammu-
milton and dynamite carried across the
frontiers of Turkey, Persia and Russia
at the present time are struggled over
by women who carry them under their
skirts" said Newton. Turkey and
Persia are about 800 years behind
America. Politics are in a descriptive
condition, about as they were here at
the time Of the Boston tea party. All
is riot and murder, and that is what
the women there are doing now. When
they want anything done in the East
they are very apt to put the women
forward 1 have seen a woman at
tack aman in the street, and when
he would not have stood it from a
man, he would submit to the woman.
After hearing Colonel Nevton's ad :
dress, the club women voted to send
sympathy to the women of the East.

CITY GARDEN MAKING.

Now the time has come again Wnen
the citizen who desires to contribute to
the appearance of the city begins to
plan his work as an urban gardener.
Year bv year the number of these pub
ic-spirited householders increases, as
the truth is spread that the city beauti-
full is an ideal of our American c1VlllZ-
alton. No longer is it common to find
whole blocks of unkempt yards ana
slovenly kept patches of weak grass.
Parkings are now almost universally
cared for throughout each season, the
grass trimmed and raked and Watered
and the soil cultivated for the produc-
ton of decorative plants and vines. The
man who lets his house front fall into
disarray. who neglects his parking and
contributes nothing to the attractive
ness of the square in which he nves
loses caste in a manner which reveals
the value now set upon the rake and
spade and garden hose as tokens OF
good citizenship.
These little front-yard gardens repre-
sent only a small amount of labor and
expense on the part of each person Yet
the aggregate effect is remarkably at
tractive even though there is no COM
mon plan The chief need is neatness
and the next is care When the dwell
ers in a block agree upon scheme Of
parking treatment they are able to pro-
duce a picture of urban beauty well
worth the slight cost and trouble. They
can. for instance, adopt the idea of re-
moving all front and division fences
and combining the flowers to the house
line Or they may treat the entire
stretch as a single plat, broken only by
the door walks, and devise an artistic
design of landscape gardening, with
shrubs and flower plats. Again, they
may plant hedges in lieu of fences,
which are never artistic. But whether
they work separately or together, the
residents in each block should be in
spired by the same thought to make
the open spaces in front of their houses
count in the city's attractiveness.
1t is not merely to cause people to
admire the outlook as they pass through
the street that the householders should
carry on such a work, but to give
pleasure to those who live in the block.
A life spent looking out upon bare yards
and undecorated brick walls is dreary.
very little done by everybody in each
row will brighten the existence of all.

STANDARD OIL AND THE SENATE,

Report from washington has it that
effort will be made in the senate con-
sideration of the tariff to retain the
countervailing duty on petroleum. The
question arises at once. Will the Stand
ard Oil company find the senate to be
the house of it's friends?
1t has been rather noisily urged, in
years past. as an argument in answer
to the assertion that the tariff was the
creator of monopolies; that disproof
of the fact was established by the
marvellous development of the Stand
ard Oil monopoly without the aid of
tariff. In that contravening argument
tfare was no mention of countervail-
fl = drty. no Difference to the fact that
free Importation of OIL applied only to
those countries which produce no Oil

1t was set out in the governments
brief filed by the prosecution in the
pending Standard Oil dissolution suit
that this monopoly has been able, by
thrift and industry to accumulate more
than billion dollars in profit on q
$40, 100000 investment. This is un-
doubtedly statement Of fact and ex-
presses, in a general way, the utter lack
of logic in asking for tariff protection
for this business. says the. Telegram
The country needs protection from
this monopoly, the monopoly needs nc
government aid to insure reasonable
profit.
The house of representatives, closer
to the people than the senate, was
keenly conscious Of the sentiment OF
| the people as to the absurdity of the
Standards claim for protection, and
the house of representatives acted in
the premises as the people have
wished it would. BY common expecta-

GERMAN AIR SHIPPING AS A
BUSINESS.

German aviators have decided to en-
gage in the transportation of passen-
gers by shipment as a business
The announcement has all the sem
blance of good authority. A German
paper. Energy. devoted to scientific and
engineering matters, undertakes to give
the detail of the plans thus far formu-
lated. including the location of the area
in which it is proposed to operate
Frankfort on Main, Berlin and Cassel
are to be the chief centers of opera
ton
1t is announced that the operations
at the outset will be confined to an
area of 10000 to 10000 square miles,
and only during sthe more favorable
seasons of the year There are to be
central anchorages from which, in thick
weather, captive balloons equipped vita
strong searchlights will be sent to a
great height to serve as lightshlps. IL
is said that more than thirty large
towns and cities will be within the
zone of transportation.
Naturally there is bound to be a
great deal of skepticism regarding an
announcement of this character. But
with all that, it denotes what we may
expect sooner or later; probably al
an earlier date than most of us realize
II is clear that in point of developed
utility. or what promises utility, the
Germans have made the greatest pro-
gress in airship building and operation
1t now seems probable that in this
which may be the most important in
vention of the age, the German. VII
beat the ingenious Yankee in the mat
ter Of useful application.
