SCIENCE NOTES.

Frauds In the handling of goods in the
customs Office, by which the government
has lost great deal Of money, are TO
be obviated by the employment of au-
tomato weighing machines at the New
York city docks. The inventor of these
machines is Frank Davis, who did the
work in conjunction with Il. ]. Blake, an
expert connected with the Treasury De-
partment, and the two men have been
working on the device for several years
past The government officials have been
endeavoring for some time to get ma
chine to prevent the frauds, which have
been very extensive. but none OF the
scale manufacturers of the country could
be urged to undertake the construction
of such Il machine. The officials of the
treasury Department then endeavored to
reach the inventors of the country
through adyer isement, and in this they
were successful. Twenty machines are
now in the course OF construction and
will soon be installed. The patient will
be controlled by the government and the
inventor will secure royalty.

tricts, but II has been observed that
where they are SO employed this feeling
Of distrust soon wears away. There are
two decided advan ages in making use
of convict labor on highway construction.
The first OF these is that large number
of men are imprisoned for short terms
and it is impra cticable to teach them
any trade during such a brief period, even
in those ates where trades are taught
in the. nenitentiaries e is much better
to keep these men In active. useful work
than i'm idleness or engaged on mental
tasks which are manifestly set merely to
keep them busy. The second advantaSe
of convict labor of this sort is that roads

cost, which otherwise would not be con-
structed for some years.

KILLS HUSBAND

In Death Struggle wife Fires
Upon Her ASSaIIant.
WAS ARMED WITH BIG KNIFE

When Driven to Bay by Infuriated
Man She Stopped His Rush With
5uIlet-Turned on Gas and Fired
Shot Into Fer Heart.
Philadelphia Oct. 1S.-Stricken with
remorse after shooting her husband,
Morris, aged thirty-nine years, through
the heart in self-defense, Mrs. Alice
Harper, aged forty-two years, of 3447
North Hutchinson street, opened all
the gas jets in the house and then
turned the deadly weapon on herself,
according to the police theory. She
was found by her son-in-law, c. NJ.
Madgey, of 1924 Orkney street, in her
home with a bullet wound over her
heart
The tragic scene that was enacted
in the little house, where the pair
alone met such a violent death, was
without living witnesses. but the in
terror of each room on both floors of
the modest home is a mute informant
of the wild hours of the dead couple
before they died. From the kitchen
to the dinnigrCom and then into the
paTlOr conditions indicated the couple
struggled, breaking and overturning
everything that stood in the way of
their frantic progress. Up the stairs
the woman ran for protection and the
husband followed. Then in the dark
little rear chamber the pursuit ter
minated when the woman, driven to
bay in a corner, used the weapon in
her hand and stopped the advance of
the man who rushed upon her with a
long-bladed knife. The bodies were
found within few feet of each other
The mans clenched hand was closed
around the handle of a murderOus
looking knife. The woman still had a
death grip on the revolver.
The death of the Harpers is the cul-
mination Of nine years of unhappy
married life.
Causes for dispute between the cOu-
pie were numerous, neighbors say but
the chief one was that Harper, despite
the fact that he had employment as a
butchers helper never gave his wife
money. However, so firm was her de-
termination to keep her own home
that she refused the invitation of her
married daughter to make her home
with her children and sought enough
for subsistence from her uncle in Bal
timore. His scanty contributions had
from time to time enabled Mrs. Har-
per barely to get along, but lately she
had frequently neared starvation, with
only bread and hot water for a meal.
All appeals to her husband for sup
port failed.

POULTRY FARM WORK

Ithaca N. Y, Oct 1S.-In connec-

ment of agriculture, the United States
department of agriculture is arranging
to give a series of moving picture
demonstrations of how to conduct a
poultry farm.
Officials at the college said that dur
ing the past week L. S. Williams, Of

thousand feet Of films at the poultry
farm, and that if the experiment was
a success he would return to get a
complete pictorial account of the work
that is being done here.
Moving pictures were taken of the
poultry course students at work at the
various poultry houses, feeders, incu-
batOrs and machines. and panorama
of the entire college poultry farm
with its thousands of fowls of all kind,
was made.
1t is believed they will be of espe-
