HAS SUCCESS
WITH 1 INCUBATOR
w. 1. SUTTON TRIES EXPERIMENT
WITH UNUSUAL RESULTS;
MATCHES 70 cHIx.

The resourcefulness Of w. L. Sutton
coupled with the perfection Of the
Cyphers incubator, has increased the
quantity of chickens on the Sutton
farm by seventy-nine lively chix. And
1t all happened In an unusual way.
Mr.. Sutton until recently lived at 1914
West Main street, and while there he
purchased the incubator Of the Spill
man Hardware Co. He took out two
matches and then decided to move on
q farm and devote his time to chicken
raising. He rented, the Leighton farm
south Of the city and not desiring to
spoil the eggs that he had In his incu-
bator, he removed them to a quantity
of warm oats and placed the eggs and
oats in the center Of large feather
bed. This done, he started his twelve
mile drive to his farm. Upon reaching
the farm he placed the eggs back In
the incubator and lighting the lamp,
awaited with interest the fruits Of his
experiment. After the termination OF
the usual period, Mr.. Sutton was
amazed to find that the 1O4 eggs in the
incubator had Matched out seventy
nine lively little chickens.

HAD WOMEN DOCTORS IN 1900
Lady Student From Malta Caused
Chief Of School Considerable
Trouble.

Women as doctors Is not, Paris
contemporary observes, product Of
modern "feminisime" 1t seems that
in the eighteenth century there was a
lady student at Florence. She came
from Malta under the patronage of the
Knights of Malta. The administrator
of the Majeur hospital was somewhat
embarrassed with his new pupil, but
he found means out of his difficulty.
The chief of the Order of the
Knights of Malta In introducing his
lady protege to the professors OF the
Florence School OF Medicine, wrote:
1T seems to me that the matter could
venience If the young lady were board
ed during the period she was studying
at your medical school with the nuns
in neighboring convent, for which
we would pay five crowns week.
In regard to her instruction she
should assist in operations at the
women's hospital, notably those per-
formed by Professor Mannoni. He
should also give her some private les.
sons at the convent, for 1t appears to
me that she should not be present in
classes with young men,"
The council of the hospital, being
| we'll disposed to the knights, adopted
the suggestion. More than century
elapsed before another lady was en-
rolled in the school Of Florence. She
was a Russian and was admitted II
the schools of Santa Maria Nuova.

Fixing the Carat.

The carat, the unit of weight for dia-
monds and other gems, has various
values In different countries and legal
value in none.
The Dutch carat, formerly 20509 mil
ligrams, is now 205.12 milligrams; the
French, 1850: the English, 205.409;
the Arabian, 2546, and the Bolognese,
1883.
In all, 81 different values of the carat
are recognized. In consequence of this
confusion purchasers and even vendors
are often deceived and only dishonest
dealers are benefited.
In 1905 the international bureau OF
weights and measures proposed the
adoption of an international carat Of
200 milligrams. This value become lie

No less than $355,o00 was spent on

chapeIs Of the Tongues,
Around the choir, between 1t ana
the walls, runs the ambulatory. ms
gives access to the seven chapels that
are to stand at the east OF the cathe-
dral. They are called the Chapeis OF
the Tongues, and each will be repre-
sentative OF some one of the nations
or of groups of nations that go 10
make up America. Services will be
held in foreign languages In these
beautiful chapels, and strangers VIII
feel as much at home as they 90
when they enter st. Peters and see
the signs hanging on the confession
ais, to tell what language the priest
within speaks to the faithful; for the
cathedral is to be the property OF all
people.
Two chapels already completed are
the Chapel of the Holy Saviour, to be
used especially by Christians OF the
Oriental rite, and that of ST. COLOMBIA,
the apostle of the Celtic nation. The
former is the gift of August Belmont
in memory OF his wife, 1t is of Gothic
design, very richly decorated with
marbles and semi-precious stones.
The statues are the saints OF the
Eastern church. The large stained
| glass window is extremely dark In
| coloring, and when the eastern sun
pours in the effect Is indescribably
rich. Against this mass of gorgeous
colorings Sands the exquisite altar Of
| white marble, delicately carved. The
| whole is as rich and beautiful as the
| little chapels of Rome, and when time
has mellowed the tints and given thu
depths of tone that nothing else cal
supply there will be nothing lovelie
anywhere.
The same thing might be said o
the Chapel OF ST. COLOMBIA, which i
dedicated to the saint of the British
Isles, and Is built In the Normal
style. There are round arches an
very simple vaulting surfaces, carrie
on large columns, set free Of the wall
and ornaments, like those in Durhar
cathedral. The window is copy c
the Seven Sisters window in the cath'
dral at York. The statues of thi
chapel are peculiarly beautiful TIL
exterior figures represent St. Georg
Of England, st. Andrew Of Scotland
st. Patrick Of Ireland and st. David {
Wales.
The statues within the chapel repr

British church from the earliest az
to the present.

church in America. Practically all the |
clergy of the diocese, more than 400 |
in number. will take part in the cere-
mony Among the church dignitaries
who will be invited are a number of
bishops from other dioceses, as we'll
as representative clergymen of other
communions. Invitations will be sent
to nearly 500 lay members of the
Diocesan convention. Among the laity
Levi P. Morton, formerly vice-presi-
dent of the United States and gov
ernor of New York, and ]. Pierpont
Morgan will be most prominent. Mr..
Morgan has given several hundred
| thousand dollars toward the cathedral
and Mr. and Mrs. Morton's gifts now
| total nearly $1,000,000 1t Is said that
] the date of the dedication was ar
ranged so the Mortons might be pres
ent. Heretofore services have been
! held in the crypt, but now enough of
| the main building itself has been COM
| pleted to make possible the consecra-
! ton and the use of portion of it.
This Easter Wednesday the choir
and two completed chapels will be
consecrated The crossing, where the
congregation will sit, Is not to be a
permanent part Of the cathedral as 1t
is at present and, therefore, this por-
ton will not be consecrated. The
concrete walls which have been put in
place so that the completed choir
could be used will be taken down. The
two chapels which are to be conse-
ais. st. Saviour's chapel is the gift of
August Belmont and st. Columbia s
chapel was the gift of Mrs M. A.
King. Mrs. King died not long after
she had made the arrangements for
the building Of the chapel.
A special conservation service will
be used. The order of service is now
being prepared. Special hymns have
been chosen. For the processiona
