Mime. curIe's Assistant.

Mme Curie, the most remarkable woman scientist, is very particular in choosing her laboratory assistants and, although she has many men working under her, there is only one woman. This is a very bright young Miss Gledtisch, who has her B. s. and M. s. from the Uni%er- sity of Christiania, of which she was the youngest woman to graduate. She passed her examinations with high honors, and took up the study of radio-activity. She contributed sev- eral papers on the subject which awakened such approval that, al though much younger than the major ity of the students, she was appoint ed instructor in physics, one of the first women to hold that position in Norway.
 Her independent research work was so good, however, that the Norwegian government soon gave her stipend with which to continue her studies on the continent. AS she had special ized in radio-activity, she naturally wrote to Mime. Curie who, after rigid examination, admitted her to the laboratory. of which she is now prac. tically the first assistant.

For the Growing Child.

The famous French dietition, Gau- tier, is on record as saying that after the first three years of a child's life the addition of muscular tissue may and ought to be given to him in a very moderate quantity. Roast nut ton or lamb, beef, minced ham, rather than veal, with the addition of eggs In all styles. creams and rice. vermi- celli in soup, butter, thoroughly cooked fruits. stewed potatoes. green vegetables and cocoa, all of these are suitable. He states that the exclusive use of milk tends to make fat, lynn phatic, puffy children, capable of standing little. This is further ac- centuated by the abuse of sweetened dishes. It is also necessary at this age to avoid giving foods which are highly seasoned and too much salted. Fat fish (herring and salmons), dry. fish, salted or smoked. mushrooms. crustacea or vinegars and spices, raw, dry, unripe or too acid fruits are un- suitable. Fermented cheeses, alcoholic liquors of all descriptions, also coffee and tea should not be allowed.

that a temperature of 94 degrees be- low zero had been gone through. On this particular date the temperature at Omaha, the starting point of the balloon. was AT degrees above zero.
 Another balloon registered an air current travelling at a rate of more than 100 miles an hour.
 The instruments used are so deli cate that one of them-that for meas uring the humidity depends for it's record upon the distance that human hair will lengthen on passing through a stratum of air which contains slight ly more moisture than did the stratum immediately below it.
 The records are made upon a soot- covered cylinder by stylus point, op- erated by a level, which in turn is controlled by the instruments. This cylinder is slowly turned by a clock work arrangement, and when the box is returned to the weather station a glance at the sooty covering will give the atmospheric pressure. the humid ity, and the wind velocity at any height traversed by the balloon.
 The strand of hair used in the in- strument for determining the humid ity is chemically dried before 1t is placed in position. Thereafter. upon passing through a moist stratum, the hair absorbs a portion of the moisture. the hair lengthens and the stylus point records the change on the cyl finder. If the next stratum Is dry some of the moisture in the hair is evaporated. the hair becomes shorter, and the cylinder makes the record accordingly.
 The air pressure is determined, or recorded by the aid of small cyl finder, from which most of the air has been drawn. A small plunger, to which is attached a stylus point, makes the necessary scratches on the soot-covered cylinder.

HBAD MAN" OF THE PRESENT
Automobile Joy Rider Worthy Sue cessor of the Reckless Frontiers
 man of Other Days.

The most typical rough house" character of the past has been the cowboy. The most reckless character of the present day is the automobile f1end. The rowdy rufian of the future will probably ride the aeroplane.
 The short story reader. says Chi cago newspaper, is familiar with the bad man" of the frontier. Reming- ton has made the world familiar with the shooting. up of towns. With a vol ley of yells and a volley of revolver shots the cowboys go galloping through the town. Galloping, you no- tice. is the word. If there was ever a case of shooting up a town or other picturesque ruffianry in the cowboy days that did not begin or end with
 he chatter of hoofs 1t is yet to be re-
 prded
 In the same way the automobile nisdemeanor goes with a rush and !onk. Only a few days ago a party If automobilists shot up a New York rafe. They did it in the good old fashioned way, only that they used gasoline for a motive power in place of panting horse flesh. The shooting up occurred in the vicinity of Broad way and Thirty-ninth street The shooters were elected from the cafe. In revenge they clambered into their machine and going by the inhospitable drink shop filled it full of bullets.
 The police records of any western town of twenty years ago were filled with the crimes of dashing horsemen. The daily paper of the present Is filled with the misdemeanors of the auto mobilist Is 1t part of the speed mania to make a man contemptuous of law and order? Does the whistle of the wind across his ears fill him tins and fill them full of bullet holes?
 Whether the indictment of speed Is capable of legal proof or not one thing Is sure; the automobilist is the legiti- mate successor of the cowboy and Is continuing his work of riding rough shod over law and order. The sight of a reeling cowboy galloping down the street with guns waved on high sent terror to the hearts of women and children and law-abiding citizens In the past So in the present day the sight of an automobile clipping cor ners of baby carriages and grocery stores creates a panic. The bad man and gun fighter of the plains has passed away, but he has left worthy and able successor in the joy rider of the cities.

method for producing the flavors for which his brands are noted. This mixture Is called the cuvee, and it stands again until April or June, when the filling of bottles begins.
 The rapidity with which the bottling is accomplished by the many work men Is marvellous. As the bottles are filled, corked and wired they are low cred in baskets, by a system of end less chains, to the caves below, where they are stacked in precise order in a very compact and solid mass, yet so that each separate one may be taken out without disturbing the oth- CTS. The bottles are now left from one to two years, when they are put in small racks, necks downward, and for two or three months each bottle is given daily a gentle little shake by an experienced workman. In this way the sediment is brought gradu- ally to the cork and the wine becomes clear. One man can shake about 30,- 900 bottles in a day.
 Then comes the removal of the sedi- ment. By some firms an ingenious system of freezing the neck of the bottle Is used to accomplish this and the sediment is taken out in a solid mass. By many others a most skill ful manner of pressing the thumb over the open mouth, letting the sedi- ment out and losing very little of the wine is the usual method. This re- quires great care, as no deposit must be left and as little wine as possible lost. The men who perform this work receive $3 to $4 day.
 Last of all comes the sweetening, recording, labelling and packing. The wine, having lost none of it's sugar in this process of fermentation, now receives a small quantity of nqueur, which is pure sugar mixed either with brandy or with the wine itself Each firm, at this stage of the process, keeps its methods a secret. The quantity of sugar or sweetening Is va ried for different countries. English taste requires the least sugar. The United States comes next in the quan- tity of sweetness preferred, and France third. The more northern countries prefer a much sweeter wine.
 The work of measuring out the sweet nqueur Is done by small boys The corking and wiring are mostly done by women, who receive about 50 cents a day. and their portion of red wine. The corks are put in by ma chimes. These corks cost as much as four cents apiece.
 The output of champagne now av- erages more than 30,000,000 bottles a year and there usually is stored in the great cellars a reserve supply of more than 1OO,0O0,0OO bottles. There are more than thirty great houses in the champagne district, either at Rheims, at Ay or at Epernay. The character and color of the different brands vary. This Is due partly to the grapes and partly to the blending. Be cause one wine is of a tawny gold and another pale as spun silk, 1t does not imply one is better or worse than the other. These champagne houses are more or less connected by family ties. The best of friends socially, in business they are as jealous as only cousins can be. Families die out, but firms continue.

Not hIa Fault.

The first bright day of spring proved too much for the regular routine of the twins, Carol and Muriel, who call the Hoffman home in Lakewood their own, despite their tender age, being four years. Instead of taking their usual afternoon nap they played out doors until a few raindrops drove them indoors. In consequence they were tired and sleepy at the dinner table, contrary to their wont.
 I'm not surprised" said their fa- ther, ito see the children tired after being. out in the air all day"
 Not all day." corrected Muriel, who is something of a purist. Mother called us in when it began to rain"
 why does the man make it rain so?" inquired Carol.
 He doesn't" was Muriel's explana- ton. He can't help it. It just comes down."-Cleveland Leader.

EXPLORING THE AIR
Six Nations Interested in Series
 of Investigations.
Mass of Information Concerning Con- ditions In High Attitudes Is Be Ing obtained-Weather Bal
 looms Used for Tests.

Omaha.-Six nations are interested in a series of Investigations now be- ing carried on in Omaha by the United States government and collaborated in by the governments of England, Ger many, France, Italy and Belgium These investigations have for their ob- ject the thorough exploration of the atmosphere at a height of more than ten miles above the earth's surface, and so successfully are they being car ried out that a mass of information concerning conditions existing as high as eighteen miles up in the air has been secured Similar explorations are being conducted in the countries named above and when these are completed all informationa gathered by each country is to be exchanged with all other countries engaged in the investigations.
 The research Is being prosecuted with the assistance of weather bal loons," which are sent aloft bearing in attached baskets a number of delicate contrivances for measuring whatever conditions are met on the trip from CdA LII NAC SAOA0o anu D6OA again to earth. The experiments con- tinue for two weeks, a weather bal loon being sent up each afternoon during that period by each of the six governments. When the information thus gained is properly arranged the meteorological bureaus in each of the countries taking part will receive tab ulated copies.
 The little balloons, which are six feet in diameter, are so arranged that that they will explode somewhere far above the ten-mile level, the explosive force being the hydrogen with which the bag Is filled.
 One of these balloons recently reached a height of IS miles before bursting and at that altitude the tenn perature was only 35 degrees below zero, although at point between nine and ten miles high the records showed

 T know that if Hunnewell is ever it. have drawn the task of directing this house cleaning, and shall do the work thoroughly.
 T intend to appoint Mrs. Osbourne chief of police and Mrs. Hilton city clerk. Both are highly competent women, and I can depend on their CO operation. Other women will be given municipal employment. I am not at present prepared to name them
 'T intend to put stop to all dis crimination in local taxation and to see that every one gets a square deal I also intend to see that the innocent are protected and the guilty punished in so far as I may be able to bring that about I think we can go very far"
 Here are few of the striking state ments made by Mrs. Wilson in her in- terview with the Chicago Evening American correspondent:
 Il wish the ladies' aid societies and the W. c. T. U. people would de- vote themselves to securing by their efforts better sanitary and moral con- ditions, instead of devoting all theIr energies to reforms which must be brought about by evolution rather than revolution.
 2. I am going to install a curfew enforcement in this town so that all children shall be of the streets at eight o'clock. I do not believe the street is any place for either male or female children after that hour. and home training will not injure any of them.
 8. The suburbs of this city are full of rank weeds and there is no con- certed effort to beautify or clean up. I shall endeavor to install a town cleaning campaign, interesting the children as well as the adults A town ought to be cleaned in the spring just the same as a house.
 4. shall oppose the voting of bonds for a proposed new city jail. The present jail building will be large enough for all needs under my administration. We can use the money for a more worthy purpose.

WHEN MARK TWAIN WAS A BOY
Trip of the %nnocents Abroad" Com
 pared With the Cruises That Are Made Today.

When Mark Twain, in company with about 100 other '1nnocents," ." made his famous cruise abroad, their progress from port to port on this novel, floating hotel, was followed with interest by the entire country. At present half a dozen great steam CTS. each carrying from two to five times as many tourists, are on cruise In different parts of the world. This attractive method of travel has be- come a fixed institution. It is curious to contrast the arrangements of this first cruise of the "Innocents Abroad" with those of today, nearly half a century later. The Quaker City, the side-wheel steamer on which the first cruise was made, carried few more than 100 passengers and offered only the most essential accommodations. The first Mediterranean cruise cost $1,250 per passenger, with many ex- tras. The advance in safety and luz ury of steamers has been marked by a corresponding decrease in the cost of transportation. Today one may en- circle the globe for less than one-half the fare paid by the 'Innocents," while long trip to the Medite-- ranean, exactly duplicating that of the Quaker City, with a hundred add ed luxuries, costs only about one fourth as much. Ther are at pres ent four large steamers, on a single line, carrying together 1,400 passen- gers, cruising in the Mediterranean, South America and the West Indies. Each of these ships Is in daily com munication by wireless telegraph a1d cable with New York, while the daily newspaper, printed aboard, keeps the tourists constantly in touch with the latest news.
 Mark Twain, it will be remembered, grew eloquent in describing the din ing-room, 50 feet in length, which seated more than 100 passengers, and the melodeon used for concerts and religious services. Today, however, half a thousand tourists can dine to- 'gether in a palatial cabin, to the ac- compartment of a stringed orchestra and enjoy a cuisine and service equal to that of the bes. hotels ashore. Despite the limitations of the Quaker City, the cruise proved the most sat isfactory of all methods of travel and foreshadowed the popularity 1t would enjoy in the future.

prapsrx on Poster Women.

New York.-There was joy in Ja- maica, especially among the members of the citizens committee. over the re- ceipt of a letter from a bill posting company which has to do with the immoral posters" which have deco rated the fences for some time.
 The letter was sent by F. L. Ham of Brooklyn and was to the effect that a great reform will be worked in the matter of the displaying of burlesque house posters. MT. Ham informs the committee that hereafter when a bur. lesoue poster shows a woman in tights, "something will be placed over these tights hiding from view any of the woman's bare limbs"

WOMAN RULES TOWN
Elected Mayor of City in State
 of Kansas.
For Two Years Town Will Be Com pIeteIy Under Woman's Adminis- tration-MaIe Holders of High
 Offices Walk the Plank.

Hunnewell, Kan.-Mrs. Ella Wilson, the newly-elected mayor of this city, for the first time since her election consented to explain her plans for cleaning up the municipal govern ment, which in her prediction speeches she declared to be full of graft and Godlessness."
 Mrs. Wilson's first announcement was that she would appoint Mrs Rosie E. Osbourne, defeated candidate for police judge, to be superintendent of police, while Mrs. E. B. Hilton, who ran for town councillor and failed, will be appointed city clerk.
 While Mrs. Wilson did not specific ally admit it, the declaration is made that under a compromise plan male officers will be elected from the high CT municipal offices entirely and that for two years at least Hunnewell will be completely under woman's ad- ministration.
 There is no doubt of the radical in- tentions of the women. Mrs. Wilson, has declared that the occasional" liquor traffic will at once be stopped and bootleggers will be sent to jail. Poolrooms must pay license and all grating is to be abolished.
 Mrs. Wilson has jumped into world wide fame in day because she is the second woman mayor ever elected in the United States and the first woman ever given a chance to rule city surrounded with women officials to do her bidding. The first woman mayor in this country was Mrs. s. M Salter, who was elected mayor of Argonia, Kan, 24 years ago.
 Here is the first public utterance of Mrs. Wilson since her election, In it she outlines her policies and aims and voices her determination to elim-

One boastful woman who thought herself an ardent sufrragist was sur prised to learn that other members of the sisterhood did not share her opinion.
 Why do you doubt my devotion to the cause?" she asked. What have done to make you think me less earn est than the rest of you women?"
 Their answer was letter which she had written to headquarters the day before.
