The other succeeds. not by his own

"PURE FOOD"

At the pure food show, in New
York, the pupils of the Westfeld,
Mass, Normal School made some in
teresting displays of the things we
eat and the results are thus summed
up by the Herald:
Patent medicines examined and
analysed were found to contain habit
forming drugs-opium in it's various
forms, cocaine, choral, ether, alco-
hol, and potassium bromide. A jar
of preserved cherries was found to
have been prepared with the much
discussed benZoate of soda and COL
ored with coal-tar dye, and among
other authorizations there was candy
made largely of horsehoof glue, shell
lac, coal-tar dye, and other appetite
ing substances; there were peanuts
glistening with shellac, but supposed
to be coated with sugar, and there
was ice cream made heavy with glue
Some progress has been made in
the suppression of the activities of
the food-poisoners, but the work is
not half done and never will be COM
pleted, until some of the villains are
sent to the penitentiary.

performers left hand, and substitute
for the bow in the shape of a set of
four revolving disks, three-quarters of
an inch in diameter, each made up of
a bundle of so flexible celluloid wash
ers. One of the four disks acts on
each violin string. Contacts governed
by the perforations Of the music coil
cause action on electromagnetic, and
produce expression by varying the
speed of the disks and their pressure
on the strings. A special magnet gives
a bouncing bow action when needed.
A set of four magnets is also provided
for plucking effects, and vibrato ef-
feet is yielded by large magnet with
a weighted armature for shaking the
tail-piece sideways. Connected with
the apparatus Is an electrical piano

democratic minority.
Before the trip which Wilson made
to st. Louis was touched upon the wit
ness explained that the reason that
he, democratic member Of the legis-
lature, voted for Lorimer, a republi-
can, for senator was because former
Sheriff Barrett had asked him on his
deathbed to do anything he ever could
for Mr.. Lorimer.
Wilson said he went to st. Louis to
arrange for the banquet, because the
opposing faction had given a dinner
to its leader. The members who met
him there were Beckemeyer, Luke,
shepard, Link, Clark and White.

ELECTRIC SIGN MADE UNIQUE
Changes Expression Of Human Face
From Sorrow, Joy or Anger by
Moving Certain Lamps.

A most ingenious use of lines of
lights for changing the expression of
the human face in an Illuminated sign
is the invention of a New Jersey man.
The sign as a whole consists Of in
candescent lights forming a human
face and the lamps are so arranged
that they can be moved independent
~ of each other. says Popular Elec-
tr1city. In this way Joy, sorrow or
anger may be expressed by moving
the eyebrow and mouth lamps and at
the same time the position of the
lines of the face as from the nose
down may be altered. This idea de-
Yeloped into commercial use would

INSULT TO JAPANESE

The superior. Caucasian Ameri-
cans in Pasadena, California, decided
that they are too good to attend
function in honor of the officers of
the Japanese squadron now at Los
Angeles, so the hotel proprietor called
the reception off.
This action was regarded by the
Japanese admiral as direct insult to
his nation and Cancelled his invitation
for a return dance on his ship. The
Japanese officers have been treated
with the greatest consideration by all
of European nations and it remained
for the silly Caucasian Americans to
insult people who are in every respect
their equal and in many ways supe-
rior. Evidently they don't seem to
realize how small such actions make
them appear in the eyes of the civiliz-
ed world.

By an ingenious adoption of the
"nickel-in-the-slot" system, the mid.
night jewellers of a certain Silesian
village are made to pay for their own
special street lighting. The Zargau
municipality owns the electric light
plant, and the street lighting, up to
ten o'clock, is paid for by local taxa

WIRELESS OF NEAR FUTURE.
Practical Applications Of Revolutions
airy Principles Of Art Have Only
Begun, Says Tesla.

THE practical applications of the
revolutionary principles of the wire
less art have only begun. What will
be accomplished in the future BAT
hes ones comprehension"
This startling prophecy is made by
Mr.. N1kola Tesla. In speaking of the
utility OF wireless tranmission in the
near future he said: "The attention
OF the world has been caught and
held by the wireless telegraph, and
yet this Is very primitive use of the
art. So far only electric waves have
been used, which have been quickly
damped out in their passage through
the air. It is possible, however, to
transmit electric currents for thou
sands OF miles of enormous power
without diminishing their energy.
Ihls Is not theory, but a truth es-
tabl1shed by many practical expert
ments. It will soon be possible to
transmit wireless messages all over
the world SO simply that any indi-
V1dual can carry and operate his own
apparatus. The wireless transmission
OF power across the ocean, for in
stance, obviously opens up an entire
~ new era in mechanical develop
ments.
1T will soon be- possible for in
stance, for business man in New
York to dictate instructions and have
them appear instantly in type in Lon
don or elsewhere. He will be able
to call up from his desk and talk
with any telephone subscriber in the
world. 1t will only be necessary to
carry an inexpensive instrument not
bigger than watch, which will en-
able its bearer to hear anywhere on
sea or land for distances of thou
sands Of miles. One may listen or
transmit speech or song to the utter
most parts Of the world. In the same
way any kind Of picture, drawing, or
print can be transferred from one
place to another. It will be possible
to operate millions of such tnstru-
ments from single station"

According to DR.. Eugen Oberhum-

at the University of Vienna, who
lectured recently before the Washing

so-called white people of Europe and

and Asiatics. By means of charts and
meteorological explanations, DR.. Ober-
hummer traced the evolution of Afri
can and Asiatic types to the present

Accurate Timekeeper.

The most accurate timekeeper in
the world is said to be the electric
clock in the basement Of the Berlin
conservatory. 1t is inclosed in an air
tight glass cylinder, and has frequentl
ly run for periods of two or three
months with an average daily devial
ton of only fifteen one-thousandthso OF
a second. Yet astronomers are not
satisfied even with this, and efforts
are continually being made to secure
ideal conditions for a clock by keep
ing it not only in an alright case,
but in an underground vault where
changes neither of temperature nor OF
barometric pressure shall ever affect
it.
