REMEDY FOR SEA
 SICKNESS FOUND

Berlin, December 1O.-(Special)- )-If the invention of Herr Frahm, a Hamburg engineer. proves a success, travellers by sea need have no apprehension of the sickness which invariably claims so many victims on an ocean voyage. The inven- ton, which is called pitching tank IS made to prevent the rolliRg of ships. The efficacy of these tanks has been proved to a certain extent on the Hamburg American liners Ypiranga and Corcovado. These vessels, plying between Buenos Ayres and Hamburg this summer without tanks, rolled up to Il degrees on each beam. When the pitching tanks" were in opreation this was reduced to two de- grees.
 Instructions have been given for these tanks to be placed in the steamer re- gently ordered by the amburg-American line for their New York service. Tho 'Lokalanzeigler'' states that at the Con- gress of Shipbuilding Engineers the Elm peror congratulated the inventor of the tank, and expressed tie hope that the system would soon be intr oduced on board all vessels. Herr F'rahm read a paper demonstrating upon a model the effect of the invention, which consists of U- shaped tanks extending from port to star board through the hold. The water in them rises and falls as the ship rolls, so as to neutralize the rhythmical move ment of the latter.

calendar. As a means to this end, we heartily second the suggestion recently made in Canada to have Thanksgiving Day on Monday instead of Thursday.
 There is no necessary or sacred associa- ton that calls for Thursday any more than any other day. Indeed ,the Puritan settlers put in whole week in the earl fest Thanksgiving celebrations. A Thurs day holiday makes an inconvenient Inter ruption in the weeks work. Hence the wisdom when instituting our latest na- tioEal holiday-Lahor Day-of placing it upon Monday. The change from Thurs day to Monday would be particularly de-

END OF TARTAR THE TERRIBLE

self up and says, slowly, His name is Tartar the Terrible
 'ANhen I get a look at the animal I find he's right up to the roar. Hes a big yellow fellow with a huge tuft Of a mane, a bit thin and little mangy, but pretty substantial looking just the same He roars extra loud for our benefit and George grins all over
 Just the same Duval is pretty leary of Tartar and don't even start to train him for a month. Finally he gets in the cage to begin the educating and teaches him new stunts Tartar isn't what youd call a brilliant student, but after five or six weeks he can jump through a i hoop and sit on top of a barrel. All the i time he roars and frequently makes passes at George with one pay till Duval burns him with a hot iron.
 After about three months we put up big posters of Tartar and start him in the show He makes hit at the jump. Some days he does his tricks, and some l days he don't, but he keeps up his vocal efforts, continuously frightening the wo- men and children and attracting the null l titudes.
 s'Time goes on and he don't seem to gain weight right. He leaves his meat alone and finally we switch to a bran mash, which proves nourishing. With l the change in diet Tartar begins to grow slicker and fatter, but his howls remain up to par in ferceness.
 "George don't never get used to him. He's really plumb scared. Most every night as soon as he begun to feel his liouor he'd say. Some day I'll have to kill Tartar or Tartar will kill me- and then he'd weep in his beer.
 He had another spiel he used to spring just before we put him to bed. | Tartar fears me when look him in the eye, he'd say, but just let me turn my
 back and he would rend me limb from limb. It's a struggle all the time be-
 tween two great brains-the brain of the
 beast and the brain of man. I'd pat him

Monday for Thanksgiving
from Leslie's.

Of holidays we have already a suffi- cient number. The calendar could not comfortably accommodate many more. Standing as we do, first of all, for one complete day of rest in seven for every wcrker, We have no sympathy with any movement to increase the number of hol- idays, when the ordinary and necessary business of the world often suffers vio- lent interruption. The desideratum is to make the most and best of what we have, to induce a more reasonable ob- servance of the holidays already on the

Tt was one day along about the end of the season that things broke. I'd finished my spiel about Duval the Death Defer and Tartar the Terrible, and walked inside. Just as I opened the door hear the most fierce howl of Tartar's S and the shrieking of women and children I look at the stage on the instant and see George stopping to pick up the whip and Tartar crouching for a spring right behind him. George he turns as he hears the wells, and as he does Tartar he jumps. George goes spinning slambang on the floor like he was hit in one of those college football games. The Hons jump carried him past Duval. but he crawls round toward where he's lying I lose my nerve; can't do a thing; just shut my eyes.
 ''The most awful shrieks of the women ring in my ears now when l think of it. I hear lots of men bowling orders in the wings and I just make myself look to see what's happening. Tartar bends over George and sort of mouths him around the floor of the cage. He pushes him clean up against the bars, and then he sits back with the most mournful look ever saw on a dumb beast. His Jaw drops and he looks fairly ready to cry. | George lies stil flor a couple of minutes, and when nothing happens he looks up
 "An attendant had just got his senses together enough to fetch gun, and he sticks it through the bars right UT l against Tartar's head. Hold on, there, says George observing what's the mat l ter as soon aS he sees the droop of the Hons mouth Don't shoot poor old Tar tar he hasn't got tooth left in his ] head
 Tartar, he dies of a broken heart thu next week, and Duval the Death Defie | he gets out an act called Uncle George | Cats-Fun for the Children His reputa | ton as a wild animal trainer was gone.

on the back and calm him by telling him his brain was sure as good as Tartar S and that there wouldn't be no scrap.
 Things went on that way for about two years. and George begins to have dreams and see omens. T dreamt of a crutch last night, he'd say, and that means death
 The next day it was a black cat he dreamed of, and that meant death, too. Somehow or other he managed to worry along without nothing happening be- tween him and the lion.

 Wild animal acts is desperate busi- pess," said the Coney Island barker, re- fectively. T never knew trainer that ca szs to a good end. If they wasn't bit by tiger they'd get the jimjams from drinking red liquor or got swatted over the head in some circus mix-up. Trage- dies, you'll call them, and that's what they are. But the saddest of all was the case or Duval, the Death Defer, and Tartar the Terrible.
 "The first was a man and the second was lion. When I met George Duval he was holding down a show on the island with a bunch of bears. They were rotten bears. Why, would you be- lieve it?-one of those animals got loose and was almost chawed to death by a fox terrier before we could rescue it.. Those bears were so tame they wouldn "a bit squash pie, let alone full-stzed man. George used to be so melancholy after the performance that he wouldn { say word till the seventh drink. Then he'd throw out his chest and say: I'm wild animal trainer. I am, and I'll show 'em yet The day will come some time when nobody will laugh at Duval the Death Defer Long the tenth drink he'd sob and curse the bears something aw- ful.
 T went away for two weeks that sum mer. and when I came back George met me with a face all full of grins. I've got news for you,' he says I've bought a lion from a busted circus and they've just delivered him. Come over and have q look
 "As we walked toward the tent could hear the new beast roaring loud and fierce. like a socialist orator rapping the trusts. When the animal gives a specially vicious howl George pats me on the back 'Ain,t that great? he says. Something like the real thing Then he swells him.

FOR REVENGE

MUNICH, March 18.-The po-

dence which tends to indicate
that the series of recent automo-
bile accidents in the suburbs were
planned by a peasant VINO sought
to avenge the death of a child
who had been killed by a ma
chine.
1t is expected that the peasant
win be taken into custody and
charged with the responsibility for
the death of Argentine Consul
Geiger, who with four friends was
killed in a machine.
Geiger's machine ran into a.
tree which had been felled across
the roadway at night.

IN MEAT

Another raise of one-half cent
wholesale In the prices of al
meats was announced today as
effective next Monday. Hams and
bacons may even go higher. This
will mean a corresponding in
crease in the retail prices
throughout the city. Several re-
tailers thought the prices would
fall shortly after the recent raise
and did not raise their retail
price. In this way they lost con-
siderable money. Retail prices
will follow the wholesale prices
hereafter. Other products are
remaining firm. Fish is again
