Employment Devised For Abandoned
Tin Shoppers For Bottles.
The latest home industry is making
doormats from the tin shoppers of
beer and other bottles. Boys and girls
all over New York are collecting the
shoppers, and II the fad continues bot
tie stopper doormats are likely to be
a drug on the market.
The shoppers are nailed to a board
with the tops downward. leaving the
rough underside up. They are placed
closely together and will quickly take
of and receive all dirt and mud from
shoes scraped on them. They form
most effective doormat, are very
simple and cost little or nothing. Any
body with a board, tacks and the stop
pers can make doormat Of this kind.
Where the idea originated is not
known. but with 1t use has been found
at last for the shoppers Of beer and
other bottles which have been hereto
fore thrown away.

SEES THROUGH GLASS EYES.
Artificial Substitutes For Natural
Lenses Prove Successful.

DR.. William c. Winslow of Boston,
noted writer and former Episcopal
minister, who lost his eyesight four
years ago, has recovered his vision.
Two artificial glass lenses have been
substituted for the natural lenses, and
he can see through them.
With the cataracts the natural
lenses of his eyes were removed.
Glass lenses were substituted These
serve as well as the real ones. The
operation is regarded as one of the
most remarkable ever performed and
is the first of Its kind. The glass
lenses fash to the brain the picture
upon which the eye rests. Without
them there is nothing but a glare of
light
The smallest and most delicate
knives imaginable were used in the
operation. 1t was very difficult to
find suitable anttseptic, the organism
being so delicate The surgeons used
white of egg and nitrate Of silver.
Cocaine was used as local anaes-
thetic.

LITTLE BROWN DOG IS
CAUSE OF ENGLISH ROW.
seuIptursd Bit on Gift Fountain Starts
Big Rumpus.

"The little brown dog of Battersea
has found its way into the courts after
being the source of unending trouble
to the good people of that English
city.
Some time ago a Miss Woodward.
who was an enthusiastic opponent of
viylsection, presented a granite drink
ing fountain with a sculptured dog
to the borough council. Cut in the
stone upon which the effigy stood were
the words, Done TO death by viyl
section" The borough council wanted
the fountain, but didn't particularly
care for the dog. Still, in accepting
the one it had to take the other. The
fountain was set up In the recreation
ground. Medical students objected to
the dog and made several efforts to
remove it. Thereupon special police
were assigned to guard the effigy
When the new borough council took
Office it sought permission to remove
the Objectionable inscription, but the
donor of the fountain would not con-
sent. The mayor made inquiry as to
the cost Of maintaining police guard
over the fountain and found that the
yearly cost was $500. This was too
much for Battersea, so on the mayors
own motion the council adopted an
order for the removal of the memorial.
This was carried into effect at night
The next day the medical students had
celebration on the site.
At the February term of court an
action brought against the Battersea
council to compel 1t to restore the
fountain to its original position will be
on the calendar. The fountain and the
dog are now hidden in a cellar.
Battersea is part of Greater London.
1t is on the Thames. The popular
question of the day with the people
there is, Are you for or against the
little brown dogY'

LONDON LOSING ITS FOG.
Abatement Of Smoke and Increased
Warmth Said to Be Responsible.

Warmth Said to Be Responsible.
Statistics covering twenty-seven
years have been published in London
to prove that the great municipality is
slowly but surely emerging from the
fog. Years ago London used to wal
low In fog for weeks at a time The
statistician shows by figures that i'm
provement In that respect has been
steady for close upon thirty years.
The period of observation has been
confined to three winter months and
the entire twenty-seven years divided
into nine year periods. During the
winters In the first nine years, begin
ing In 1888, there was an average of
more than twenty foggy days
and about ffty-6ve hours of bright
sunshine. In the second nine year
period the foggy days numbered twen-
ty and the sunny hours seventy. The
third nine year period. which ended
with 1910, showed ten days of fog and
ninety-three hours of sunshine.
British weather sharps account for
the improvement In different ways.
One man says that the Increased dry
ness of the city's atmosphere, due to
the greater area of warm roofs and
chimneys, dlssipates the fog; another
believes that the increase in the
strength Of the winds has much to dc
with blowing the fog away. Others
say that the success attending the eff
fort to abate the smoke nuisance has
resulted in driving the fog from the
city.

TRAMPS ACT AS MODELS
FOR HISTORIC GROUPING
Knights Of the Road Pose as Bibulous
Buccaneers.

1t can no longer be said that tramps
are useless. In Wilmington, Del, they
are used as artists models. The more
unkempt they are the greater the de
mand
This was demonstrated when Henry
]. Soulen, noted artist and student
of Howard Pyle utilized the second of
pair of hOboes whom he found in a
cheap saloon as a model for a bucca-
neer. He is painting group of sew
enteenth century pirates drinking at a
table outside Spanish inn, on a com
mission from the Democratic league
Of that city. The work will be Mr..
Soulen's greatest effort.
The first chosen was very much I'M
der the influence Of liquor and was as
dirty as he was drunk, but the artist
saw in him prototype of what he de
sired-a bibulous Individual who was
tattered and torn. Mr. Soulen took his
weather beaten model to the studio
occupied by Mr.. Pyle until the latter's
recent departure for Florence. Italy.
There the artist held his nose and
painted from the real thing. The
tramp thought it would be the easiest
kind Of task to sit still at a table
for couple of hours, but he soon
found his mistake. He said it was the
hardest work he ever had done.
The second model played pirate all
the afternoon. He was re-engaged for
another week. He told the painter
that he was a commission broker in
North Carolina until rum proved his
undoing.

CHEAP sLEEPERS IN SWEDEN
Ten Hour Ride Cost. Passenger. but
81 Cents.


81 Cents.
The Swedish state railways have
three classes Of fares, the proportion
in price being about as 5:3:2. Hereto
fore only the first and second class
passengers have had access to special
sleepers, also run by the state railway.
but now sleepers have been also put
in for third class passengers. AS third
class cars formerly were supplied with
only wooden seats, these new cars will
be welcomed by third class travellers
by night.
The new cars are comfortably equip
ped. The seats are upholstered, and
the compartments make much the
same impression as an ordinary first
or second class sleeper. They are bril-
liantly lighted.
The length Of the car, which rests
on two four wheel trucks, is SO feet
6 inches, and the width is 10 feet. The
cars are divided into eight compart-
ments, each with two seats and giving
room for six berths. The aisle from
which one enters the compartments
runs alongside the cars side and is
about three feet wide. The berths are
81 by feet, and there Is a special
cover put over the upholsterlng, no
sheets being furnished A pillow, with
a clean pillowcase, and blanket are
supplied.
The prices for these sleepers are
very low. The fare from Stockholm to
Gothenburg, 2S5 miles, covered in ten
hours, is SO third class, and the sleep
er ticket costs 81 cents. The charge
for sleeping privileges is uniform and
independent Of distance.

DISCOVERS NEW MINERAL.
Princeton Professor Names II Gazette,
After Trenton Man.

DR.. A. H. Phillips, professor Of min
eralogy at Princeton university. has
announced the discovery of new min
eral In the vicinity of Franklin Fur
mace, n. J. Professor Phillips names
his discovery gazette, In honor of r.
B. Gage of Trenton, through whose eff
forts sufficient material was gathered
to make the necessary analysis. The
new mineral Is said to belong to the
family Of leucophoenicite, and its prob
able existence has been predicted by
mineralogists since 1909.
Gazette is found In a transparent
crystalline formation and possesses a
high vitreous luster. Thus far none of
the mineral has been found anywhere
but In the Parker shaft near Franklin,
where 1t was discovered lodged In the
walls of small cavities and In fan
shaped groups.
It is not believed that the new min
eral will be Of any value commercially.

LIBERTY TREE MADE OF ZINC.
Haiti Bound to Have Durable National
Emblem.

In front of the presidential residence
in Haiti is giant cocoanut tree, but
its leaves are always In the same con-
dition. In storm or sunshine their Sc
renity is never disturbed
The tree is the republics tree of
liberty. When the republic was es-
tablished it was thought that a tree
should be planted to signalize so great
an event, but Haiti, 1t seems. has but
one tree. and that the cocoanut tree.
But the cocoanut tree is hardly the
species to be chosen for a tree of lib
erty, for 1t grows to a good height and
becomes bare as its age Increases.
How was the difficulty to be over
come? 1t was very simple matter.
One of the council suggested that an
imitation cocoanut tree made Of zinc
should be ordered from London, with
the leaves, etc., painted to represent
nature The Idea was adopted.

snt and His Assistants Who Paddec
Payrolls on Government Staying Ex-
petition Stands Convicted.
The judicial committee Of the Eng.
lfsh privy council has been wrestling
with case of alleged graft In elephant
hunting In Burma. The lord chanceI
lor, after hearing the evidence In Lon.
don, is said to have asked Lord Akin
son In voice of wonderment If there
Is any remote spot on earth or any
occupation, however strange, to which
graft has not extended.
Graft Old as World.
II fear, my lord" replied one of the
counsel, that graft Is merely the mod
ern expression of human Instinct as
old as the race itself"
The case came before the privy coun-
Gil on appeal from the chief court Of
lower Burma. The acting superintend-
ent and his assistant and the chief
clerk of the Kheddah departmental
principal business of which is the con-
duct of organized hunts of wild ele-
phants-were all three accused of hav-
ing padded the payrolls, commissary,
etc. Of large elephant hunting party.
The government asserted that there
were only 292 hunters In the expedI-
ton. The defendants, 1t was alleged,
had cooked up the accounts so as to
make It appear 34S men had taken
part In the hunt
Trial Lasted Three Months.
After trial lasting almost three
months, and in which pretty much all
the expert elephant hunters In that
part of Burma testified on one side or
the other. the defendants were found
guilty. The charge was that there had
been a criminal breach of trust under
section 400 of the Indian penal code.
The defendants appealed to King
Emperor George through the privy
which has decided that the
prisoners put up poor case on appeal
md must stand convicted.

Anticosti, the Canadian island prin
cipaiity OF Henri Menier. the French
chocolate man, Is shut off from thc
outside world for another season. the
last boat having arrived In Quebec
from there, and nothing more will be
heard from 1t till navigation In the
lower st. Lawrence and gulf Is opened
In the spring. Great changes are go
Ing on In the island. which Is rapidly
becoming important industrially.
Henri Menier has tried many things
to make the island self supporting. In
Guided in these enterprises have been
lobster and other fisheries and even
the breeding Of silver foxes, only to
result In failure.
New Markets Opened.
There Is a great amount of spruce
and fir timber on the island. but 1t Is
for the most part not of a size suita BILE
for deals, and until now the haul from
Anticosh has been considered too long
for successfully marketing the pulp
wood
But with the adoption by the prov
tnce of Quebec last spring Of its policy
of prohibiting the expectation Of pulp
wood from crown lands there came
boom on the island, and now great
plans are on foot for the expectation
of pulp wood to the United States in
vast quantities, beginning next spring
Mr.. Menier is building one of the
largest rossing plants In the world,
with capacity Of 400 cords q day.
Rossing plants are mills in which the
bark Is removed from pulp wood by
machinery, the logs being cut into two
foot lengths and these two foot blocks
held against a rapidly revolving disk
In which are set knives which cut the
bark away.
Not Affected by Law.
AS Mr.. Menier owns the island in
fee simple the prohibition of the ex-
port Of pulp wood from the province
of Quebec does not affect him, such
prohibition applying only to wood cut
from the crown lands. Not less than
10000 cords Of this rossed wood will
be shipped from Anticosi next season,
all Of 1t going to points In New York
state on the upper st. Lawrence and
Lake Ontario
The population now numbers 1900.
Mr.. Menier will spend next summer on
the island, and he is planning TO ex-
pend 100000 In improvements, includ-
ing the construction of twenty miles
of railway. Miles of new railway will |
be added each year till the road runs
the whole length Of the island.
Six hundred laborers are employed |
this winter in cutting pulp wood. A
wharf a mile long has been construct
ed at Ellis bay, where 1t will be loaded
on to steamships.
