inventors, all of the same family, who
were born in Spencer in the same house

The monument. which is being modelled
by Paul Winters Morris of New York

lions is 20 inches in diameter.
The funds for this monument. aggre-
eating something like 5000. have been
raised by subscription, largely from men,
bers and descendants of the families of
the inventors.
The Howe Memorial Association, which
is managing the matter, was incorporated
u couple of years ago. following meet
ing held in October. 1906, and the original
intention was to repair the old home as
a memorial. but that was found imprac-
ticable owing to its state of decay. 1t is
expected that the dedication will take
place during September, and will be made
quite an affair.
1t is hoped to have sufficient funds re-
naming with which to erect marker
at the location of the birthplace and to
maintain the monument.
The history of the three men presents
number of very interesting anecdotes.

court at England while promoting his i'm

COST OF CARAVANING.
Few But the Idle Rich Can Afford
It as an Amusement.


The Caravan Club of Great Britain
and Ireland has just held it's second meet
According to the secretary of the club
1t Is, as rule, rich people who take to
caravaning. at least to caravaning for
amusement. A recent addition to the
membership is woman who said she
has eight motor cars. She was tired
of rushing about and wished to try am
bling for a time.
attract we'll off rather than ill off people,
for however great economy is practiced
there must always be the initial cost of
a van (which is still not less than EGO
to ESQ. without fittings and furnishings),
the hire and keep of horse. besides
food. which can often be bought from
and need not of course be
at all relatively expensive
If the horse is stabbed there are tips
to grooms. Some one who had spent
many week ends caravaning estimated
that for three or four persons the cost
per day, everything included, but that
caravaning for several weeks or month
or two worked out more cheaply.
An excellent plan for any one thinking
OF taxing up caTdNdHlnS would DE 10 guy
a van second hand, which may sometimes
be done. There was beautifully fitted
up one at the meet this year for sale
second hand for 975. 1t had stove or
range and all sorts of conveniences and
for carrying many comforts
in little space and could not have been
built for less than several hundred pounds.
To be able to supply accurate informa-
ton to members of the club as to facili-
ties for carayaning in the different coun-
ties the club secretary prevails upon as
many caravaners as possible to send him
printed post cards, with certain particu-
lars filled in where blanks are left These
give the name of the district pitched at,
details as to water supply and civility
received and also state whether the pitch
was charged for and whether there were
people willing to let horses for caravans.
The particulars received are classified
under counties and members, but men,
bers only-fOr the club subscription is only
5s year-are allowed on application to
have the benefit of them.
Surrey, Kent and the home counties gem
orally are the favorites among caravaners.
though many seem to have been about
Lincolnshire. This year several members
have taken their vans to France and are
going about Brittany. How they got the
vans past the customs and what they had
to pay will be known when they return.
Evidently, however, there is no insuper-
able difficulty about getting a van into
France Brittany is an inexpensive dis
trict and the peasants very civil. The adj

Curing Tobacco With Gas Heat.
rom Popular Mechanics

rom 1OpuldT slecHhuits-
Curing tobacco with the heat from gas
stoves has been successfully tried out by
a tobacco company in Dayton, Ohio.
Two stoves were placed in tightly closed
sweating rooms with 1000 pounds of to-
barco piled on low platforms. For one
week temperature of 80 degrees was
maintained steadily, the sweating of the
tobacco keeping it at temperature of
100 degrees. The tobacco was then re-
piled and the room kept at temperature
of SO degrees for second week, the
sweating continuing to keep the tobacco
at the 1ap-degree temperature provided
by the 9U-degree heat the first week. At
the end of the second week the tobacco
was again replied and kept at the same
temperature for ten days longer. at the
end of which time IL was found to be a
fine dark brown color, with the leaves
we'll curled and folded.
The stoves were fed natural gas,
the cost per week being $40. The stoves
required no attention. and the tempera-
ture did not vary more than degrees

WALKING PARTIES.
New York Girl Found New Form Of
Entertainment in Canada.

From the New York Sun.
Did you ever hear of a walking par
tyc'' asked a New York young woman
who had just returned from long stay
in Canada. NO, l don't mean little
walking trips across country in which a
group of persons engaged, but a form of
evenings entertainment. Those Canadian
girls seem to be taking exercise continu-
ally, and any social affair Is all the more
enjoyable across the border If 1t includes
what seems to some of us a lot of hard
work.
Invitations TO a walking party are sent
out with just as much ceremony as ii the
affair was to be a dance or a theater
party. 1t is essential for perfect walk
ing party that there shall be an equal
number of young men and young women.
Those invited meet at the home of the
hostess at the usual time for an evening
affair. The guests are paired off and the
route of the walk is announced.
1T isn't any walk around the block by
any means. Five miles at the least. One
man acts as a master of ceremonies. and
he and his partners lead the procession
from the house. When the parade has
moved certain specified distance the
leader calls a halt and turns his partner
over to the man of the next leading cou-
pie. Then each man moves up one, the
leader taking the girl at the foot of the
line
1.-The march is resumed until the next
stage is reached and then another change
of partners goes into effect BY the time
the party returns to the house there has
been usually a complete change of part
ners all around.
This isn't any summer amusement.
In fact. a tramp through the snow with
the thermometer somewhere down near
zero is considered awfully good sport.
But be it summer or winter, the partici-
pants in walking party return ready to
enjoy the supper which winds UP the
evening.
''One thing against these walking par
ties to my mind is the continual chang
ing of partners. You no sooner get inter-
ested in your companion than you have
to turn him over to another girl. Maybe
you draw a good partner at the start and
few minutes later get stick. Of
course, it is eminently fair to every girl
and to every man. but some girls, you
know, delight in being unfair when there
is man in the case. AS an aid to firta-
ton these walking parties aren't worth
one Of those big Canadian cents you see
sometimes, but as an eXerciser they are
else is what these Canadians are looking
for.
I'm not sure that I won't try one of
these walking parties here in New York.
How would such procession look COM
ing down Broadway some fine evening
when the theaterS are going in? A change
of partners at Broadway and 42d street
would sure surprise the usual hangerson
at that corner. 1t might be an agree
able change from some of the things We
get so tired of In this town.

Grand Duchess Shuns Society

From the New York Press.
The Grand Duchess of Hesse has an
aversion to the formalities of court, and
as far as is possible with one of her rank
shuns society affairs of all kinds. She is
never happier than when with her hus-
bands on their country estate. She is a
clever horsewoman and is of decidedly
artistic bent. She shows real talent in
black and white drawing and has COM
posed several light airs for verse of her
own writing. She has many decorations
from royalty. but the one she values
most Is a small bronze medal with an
intrinsic value of few cents. The medal
was conferred on her for stopping pair
