Leather portieres are among the
beautiful things which Mrs. John Hay
has added to her historic home in
Lafayette square, in Washington.
These curtains resemble those in many
cathedrals in Europe, but they are H.
Illuminated and give an air of privacy

second drawing room and the sitting
room where Secretary Hay received
his intimates.
Mrs. Flora Ames of London, wife
of former attache of the British
embassy at Washington, is in America
on a visit and will deliver several lec-
lures on the subject of divorce. She
says America is too lax and England
too severe in its divorce laws. She
suggests as remedies a public registra-

The establishment of the memorial
prOfessorship at the University of Wis
conSin in honor of Carl SchurZ will be
celebrated soon. The Carl Schurz
Memorial association is now engaged
in raising the money necessary to be
turned over to the regents of the uni

dowment fund of 100000 will be avail
able for the professorship.
The exercises will include addresses
by the two German exchange profes.
sors now in this country, Ernest Dae.
neel, the German historian, this year
Kaiser Wilhelm professor at Columbia
and DR.. Max Friedlander, German pro.
fessor of the history of music at Har.

The income from the 100000 will be
sufficient to provide for securing a pro
fessor from German universities once
in two years to lecture for one Sc
mester at the University of Wiscon
sin. The association also plans to in
crease this fund as soon as possible
to 100000 so that German professor

SUBSTITUTE FOR RADIUM.
Berlin Professor Finds 1t In Byprod-
uct Of Gas MantIes.

With much satisfaction the Berlin
press announces the end of the
''radium famine" from which Ger
man research, with its comparative
modest pecuniary resources, has had
TO suffer. Professor Otto HAHN of the
Berlin university has succeeded in OBJ
tanning an effective substitute for the
costly substance, and in few months
time the Academy of Science there
will be in possession of no less than
$50 milligrams of it, which it will
lend to investigators.
The new radioactive matter is a by
product of the manufacture of thOrium
gas mantles and has been named by
its discOverer "mesothOrium." In com
bination with bromium it is a white
salt with the same radioactive prop
critics as the corresponding salt of
radium, though the latter costs three
times as much.
1t is stated that Germany alone can
produce ten grams of mesothorium
salt in a year, or as much as the pres
ent entire worlds supply of radium

Language Question In eeIaium.


The language question in Belgium
has been settled in favor of French so
far as Brussels is concerned. The
Belgian parliament decided some time
ago that the choice between instruc-
ton in French or in Flemish in the
public schools of the capital should be
left to the pupils parents. A canvass
of three of the largest schools resulted
in an overwhelming vote for the
French language. OF the parents of
pupils in the first school 261 out of
total of 264 selected French, in the Sec
ond $3.50 out of $40 made the same
choice, while in the case of the third
school, situated in an Overwhelmingly
Flemish quarter, 456 parents out of
40 decided for the same language, the
total being therefore: French, 1,074;
Flemish, 1S.-London Globe.

Thinks Our Spirits Go to Mars.

LILLIAN Whiting. one of the foremost
women writer's and thinkers in Boston,
be ieves that after death we go to an
otf er planet, where we enjoy life al
mcs the same as on this earth-eating,
walking and seeing. she says the spirit
leaves the body and travels through
ether, but there is something material
after all. Great thinkers" she argues,
shave pointed out that the physical
body is merely the outer covering OF
the spiritual body. If that be true our
form. will be the same in heaven. We
will have ears. eyes, hands and feet
all that the body has now Why should
we not walk and talk and work and
pursue our aims there as we do heref
i think we shall eat. The spiritual
body will need food just as the physi
cal booy needs 1t, although. of course,
1t will be of a different kind" She
thinks hat perhaps the spirit goes to
Mars or to some other planet after
leaving here. For that reason she is
eager u communicate with that planet.

The president may not be conscious
of it, but he has made red neckties
popular. Recently Mr.. Taft blossomed
out in crimson tie of the gayest hue
He exhibited a great deal of it across
his ample bosom, and no visitor to the
inner office of the White House es-
capped the fine impression he made.
Now they are all talking red neck

taches, the newspaper men and the
official callers are preparing to fall in
line The haberdashers felt the effect.
II was generally thought in official
circles that Champ Clark, speaker to
be. had a monopoly on red ties. He
had been famous for years for the
brilliancy of his collection, and he had
been jealous of his unique distinc-
ton. But the MissOurian has been
outdone.

KRUPP'S GREAT FACTORY.
The Largest Single Industrial Plant In
the World.

The Largest Single Industrial Plant In
the World.
a recent census of the great Krupp
works of Germany proves cOnclusively
that il is the largest single industrial
plant in the world, employing S,726
workers. The number includes Off
cials, clerks. skilled workmen and la
borers. These workers, with their
families, would make fairly respect
able city even in these times of large
cities. On the basis of three persons
to each worker the total would be
more than 100000, not to count the
grocers, butchers, dry goods and cloth
ing merchants and other business men
who would be supported by the Krupp
toiers and their families in addition.
The total number directly dependent
upon the Krupp works is in the neigh
borhood Of a quarter of million per-
sOns-a city as large as st. Paul.
OF the workers, 37,761 are employed
in the steel foundry and gun testing
grounds. Coal and coke amounting to
2,491 ,406 tons were consumed in the
year from July /, 1909, to July l, 1910.
The steam engines number 500, de-
veloping S9,430 horsepower. In addi-
ton to having its own plant for the
production of electricity, the firm pos
sesses its own gas producing plant,
which turned out 1S,4S7 300 cubic me-
tiers nearly 6O,OO0,OO0 cubic feet of
gas. One of the important features of
the works is the railway system, con-
sisting of eighty-seven miles of track,

SKELETON OF MAN 10000
YEARS OLD Is DISCOVERED
Most Ancient on Record, English Sci
enlist Declares.

The skeleton of a man recently found
In the Thames bed at Galley Hill, near
Northfeet. is declared by Professor
Arthur Keith of London to be 100000
years old.
Delivering a lecture before the Roy
al college surgeons on the antiquity of
man, Keith said he arrived at his es
innate of age by the work done by the
Thames since the time when the level
of the river was 80 to 100 feet higher
estimate the Thames bed had been
lowered and raised at least 10 feet
since the upper terrace of gravel was
laid down in the postglacial times.
"Seeing how little the level and as
pect of the valley has been altered
since the Roman period and that there
is no reason to presume the changes
in the level or climate occurred at a
faster rate in past times than in the
present, one may safely allow" said
Professor Keith. 100 years for every
foot which the river has worn away
or laid down. On this basis of com
putation the antiquity of the Galley
Hill remains may be estimated at 1T0.-
600 years"
Considera ton of parts of this skele-
ton shows how old the modern type
of man is. The Galley Hill man. al
though differing in several features, il;
essentially modern in type and is the
only representative known of the thou
sands of generations of Englishmen
| which span the vast period of human
life in that country from the glacial to
the neolithic times.

BACON RIDDLE IN
WYE RIVER BED?
Detroit Doctor Digs For COnCIu-
SiVe ShakeSpsaTedn Proof.
FINDS CLEW IN FIRST FOLIO.

"seek, Sir, For a True Angie at Chep-
stow" Is the Anagram He Finds op-
posite Poets Portrait-Duke of Beau
fort Interested, and Early Discover
les Are Encouraging.
General attention has once more been
called to the ever green Bacon Shake
speare controversy by the news that
DR.. Orville Owen of Detroit has begun
extensive digging in the bed of the riv-
er Wye, at Chepstow, England.
DR. Owen is not digging for treas
ures. Besides himself and the Duke
of Beaufort. whom he has succeeded
in interesting in his search, no one
knows exactly the nature of his mys-
teriOuS quest.
Seeks Bacon Proofs.
The doctor has declared, however,
that he hopes to discover nothing less
than indisputable proofs that Francis
Bacon is the real author Of the Shake
spearean works
1t is asserted by some Baconians
that Francis Bacon was the son of
Queen Elizabeth and rightful heir to
the throne and that he published
works which he dared not publish un-
der his own name, hiding them by the
means of cipher in his plays, which
were issued under the name of Shake
speare.
1t is this cipher which DIR. owen
journeyed from Detroit to England to
find He has been laying his plans for
over Il year and has now succeeded i'll
obtaining leave to make extensive eX-
cavatiOns in the mud of the Wye, the
property of the Duke of Beaufort.
Discoveries Enhance Interest
The work can be accomplished only
at low tide, and the strenuous efforts
of Il dozen diggers have already pro-
duced results which the American doc
tor considers justify his search. A
few logs of oak and piece of cement
have been raised from one of the
numerous holes dug in the river bed
One clew was given him by a line in
the first folio edition Q623) of Shake
speare opposite his portrait. 1T was
for gentle Shakespeare cut" which
can be transformed into Seek. sir,
for IA true angle at Chepstow."
According to London correspond
ent, DR.. Owen showed him the source
of his information, which enabled him
to locate the precise spot of the hid
den manuscripts. 1t is contained in
long scroll thirty-five feet in length
and ward wide. which at first glance
appears nothing more than an agglom-
Grafton of printed letters and utterly
