settles Win hammer.
stein for $19,25O.
From the New York Sun.
Two suits brought by Oscar Hammer
stein against Luisa Tetrazzini. the So
prano, were marked discontinued yester-
day, with the consent Of both parties.
One was In the United States District
Court. and asked for damages and for
an Injunction restraining the prima
donna from singing for any one but
Hammerstein until the close Of the sea-
son of 1912. The other was in the Su-
preme Court, and asked for $4,000 on the
ground that Hammerstein had overpaid
the singer that amount for her services
last year.
In the Federal suit Hammerstein got
an Injunction last fall and served 1t on
Nine. TetraZZini while she was ion the
steamer Mauretania, and under 1t he
sought to restrain her from going to San
Francisco to sing in a concert tour un-
der the management of William H.
Lahey. The temporary Injunction was
vacated on condition that Nine. Tetraz-
Zini deposit with a trust company half
her earnings pending the suit. Hammer
stein asked for $4,000 damages for each
OF three years, or a total OF S225, 900.

CHEMICAL WATCHMAN.

of Burglar Alarm

OF aIuEm.
From the Technical World Magazine.
To a bank cashier with taste for
chemistry is due the credit OF a simple
yet highly efficient cash protector and
craCksman tanner Several years ago
Cashier Clark. of the Corona State
Bank, South Dakota. hit upon the idea
that II he could place a bottle of some
strong chemical between the outer and
inner doors of the vaults its fumes
might retard the work OF safe break
ers or perhaps frighten them away. A
quart bottle of formaldehyde was i'm
mediately given a position as a silent
night watchman between the doors OF
the vault.
For about five years the "yegg doc
tor" kept unobtrusive guard. Finally
early in November, 1910. the test came.
A couple of professional cracksmen en-
tered the town. Two charges of nitro
glycerine We're used on Cashier Clark's s
safe that night. The first one did little
damage, but the second wrecked both
the outer and inner doors. tore the lat
ter from their hinges and threw them
out into the vault against the small
safe and safety deposit boxes. The
"yeggmen" did not wait to wreck the
inner safe. however. for at the same mo-
ment the ''yegg doctor responded to a
hurry call and the fumes of a full quart
of formaldehyde filed the room. Choking
and gasping. with tears streaming
from their eyes. the criminals scram-
bled out the way they had come in and
left tracks down the peaceful country
highway that fairly sizzled. For days
after the explosion the fumes of for
were so strong that a per-
son could not breathe in the vault.

Safety at Sea.
From the New York Mall.

From the New York Mail.
Probably in no other instance has the
practical value of a great invention been
so quickly demonstrated as has been
done with wireless telegraphy. 1t is esti-
mated that the safety Of ships at sea
has been increased more than 80 per cent
by the introduction of the wireless sys-
tenn According to marine experts. there
is somewhere in the world a shipwreck
every sixteen hours, but as the use Of
wireless communication is extended the
number of such disasters will be greatly
reduced. The record Of wireless achieve
ment is eloquent, showing that although
the system has been in operation less
than half a dozen years, 1t has already
resulted in the saving of more than 5000
lives and property valued at upward Of
s12, 900. .OOO The agency that effected that
splendid saving is about the cheapest
form of marine insurance ever devised.

From the Worcester Telegram.
Men Of science have finally decided that
there is one safe place In case Of ter
rife thunder storm or electric shower.
Take a submarine boat and go out into
deep water Nobody has ever been struck
by lightning while on a submarine boat.
People have been killed in balloons, in
cellars. deep down in mines. on trolley
cars. in automobiles, and all the other
places which have had some advertising
as safety resorts. but the diving boat is
still immune by the records. Electric
storms cause great deal Of terror. Keep
away from the windows and objects in

iron. and don't worry. There has been
more suffering IN advance Of lightning

Singing Trees.

From the London Globe.
In the southern part Of Formosa grows
a tree about ten feet in height having
long leaves which possess the property
OF the nettle and produce a maddening
irritation OF the skin when incautiously
touched. The natives call 1t chiao- jen-
kou, meaning ''man-biting dog" Mr..
Tokutaro Ito, Of Tokyo, who has recently
made botanical exploration in Formosa,
suggests the name viper tree" as a more
distinctly warning title
There is another species of "stinging
tree In Australia which attains a height
of fifteen feet and the effect of whose
touch appears to be even more madden
ing to mer and animals Horses stung
by 1t have to be shot, and dogs when af-
fected by the poison of the leaves run
about whining and biting themselves.

bones Of several Sunday evening prom

that chased themselves up their spines
as a woman's voice, apparently wild with
fear, rang out and then ended in a CUR

of the cry another rang out, and again
the choking act.

choking and beating the woman. (Busi-

man desisted his beating. picked up a

womans arm with the other. and started
up Fifteenth street. The woman, al

Fifteenth street from the alley that runs
between the National Savings and Trust

far as could be learned last night, there
was nothing in the appearance or ac-

comment. The man wore a brown suit
and a straw hat. He carried suit case
in his right hand. The woman wore a
dark skirt, white shirt waist, and p sort
of nondescript toque on her head.

they turned north on Fifteenth street.
