VIII Spot The Sneedcr.

A clever camera-like device design
ed to record accurately the rate of
speeding automobiles will be well
coined alike by automobilists and
officials of the law.
AS described by THE Scientific
American" the machine consists in
large part of a camera with two
lenses so arranged that the second
hand of a watch is also included in
the picture. The first exposure shows
the automobile close at hand with
the number on the rear axle. The
second exposure shows the machine
farther away. With the distance
from the lens to the plate known 4
each case and the time shown in the
same picture 1t can be shown abso-
lutely how fast the machine was go
ing.
With the elimination of all guess
work by the driver or the policeman
by such evidence, convictions of speed
violations will be more frequent. The
machine can be used to good advan-
tage on crowded city streets because
of the short distance required for its
operation.
The majority of Automobiles will
welcome this device as one of the
agencies in the elimination of the
minority which persists in violating
law, to the discredit of the whole
ClasS.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Gave Wife Poison.

Lock Haven. - Frank Houtz, ar
rested, charged with endeavoring to
poison his wife and a young wom-
an friend is alleged by the police
to have confessed. His confession,
it is said, was first made to w. T.
Bowes and c. G. Mack in the coun-
ty jail. In the presence of Alder
man John p. Anthony and other wit
nesses he repeated the confession
giving further details. He told of
going to local drug store and ask
ing for 10 cents worth of strych-
nine saying he wished to feed it to
some hogs who had the collie. When
told it was only sold in packages
costing 80 cents he bought one and
registered a false name, that of
Charles Miller, Salona, Pa. He told
without the least degree of emotion
or apparent sign of feeling how he
also purchased gum drops and cut
Sits in a dozen of them and insert
ed therein the poison. Then going
home he offered the candy to his
wife, who in turn passed it to Wis
itor who was in the house at the
time. They both began eating, but
detecting bitter taste refused to
swallow the candy. He gave as
reason for the deed that he wanted
to get rid of his wife.

Cucumber A Waste,

The States first bulletin on do
nestle science. issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture, takes a fall
out of the cucumber as an article
of diet. The bulletin was prepared
by Neale S. Knowles, a teacher of
domestic science in several agricul-
tural colleges, and tells how to do
everything connected with eating
from the selection of foods in mar
kets to the setting of a table, hints
being given on foods ranging from
oatmeal to the ideal loaf bread.
The writer goes into the properties
of various foods and then deals this
blow at the cucumber: house
keeper who buys cucumbers at Is
cents each in early Spring does not
take into consideration the fact that
the cucumber is SO per cent. water,
and that taking its cost into con-
sideration, together with its lack of
nourishing power and lack of diges-
tibility, she is practicing an unpard-
enable breach of household econo-
my, from the fact that the cucumber
is so deficient in nutriment that it
becomes an expensive food when the
cost Is considered"

making It good. which is by no means
a difficult task.
