$1,000 CAT NO MOLLYC0DDLE
Fondness of Feline for Killing Snakes
However, Worries Owner-Rep-

she takes her daily airings. Mrs.

Mrs. Hilyard was sitting in her

the cat at the door. She Responded
to the call, and there found awaiting
admittance her $4,000 bunch of fur
with a four-foot live snake very Sc
curely held in its mouth, in such a
manner that the snake was powerless
to offer any resistance. It was a
most trying situation for the woman.
She did not want to kill the snake
but knew of nothing else to do, and
she finally dispatched it with a club
as her weapon.
During the operation the cat showed
unusual intelligence in such a mat
ter, as it continued its death-like grip
upon it's prisoner until Mrs. Hilyard's
action evidently satisfied it that all
possible danger had been removed.

German and Swiss Engineers Wrestle
With Project to Facilitate Ship
Movements on River.

Berlin.-One of the most important
engineering undertakings now engag-
ing attention in Germany is plan to
make the Rhine navigable from
Basic, Switzerland, to Lake Constance.
Three South German states and Swift
gerland are interesting themselves in
the matter.
While it has not yet been definite
ly decided to carry out the scheme,
three companies now building dams
for power purposes on the stream
have been ordered to put in locks of
at least 295 feet length to accommo-
date the large barges that are ex-
pected to ply on the stream.
The most difficult technical problem
n the way OF carrying out the scheme
IS to overcome the rise of about so
,eet at the falls of the Rhine at Schaff-
1ausen. Here it is proposed either to
build two locks of about 40 feet each,
or to put in a ship elevator similar
10 the one already in use at Hinrich-
enburg. on the Dortmund-Ems canal,
where barges are run into huge tanks,
and these then lifted by hydraulic
pressure to the level of the higher
stretch of the canal.

SOUSA IN FAVOR OF RAGTIME
Noted Composer and Leader Denies
Allegation of DR.. Gruener Of Ber-
Lin-Catehy Music Liked.

Pasadena, Cal.-John Philip Sousa,
composer and player of ragtime, who
has the reputation of having played
more ragtime compositions than any
other musical director in the world
denied the allegation of DR.. Ludwig
Gruener of Berlin that ragtime in
duces insanity.
DR.. GPuener, in a statement made
recently after a study of insanity pa
tients at Bloomingdale, n. Y; Kanka-
kee, Ill, and st. Joseph, Mo, declared
that much of the hysteria in America
was superinduced by ragtime music.
Sousa takes issue with DR.. Gruener,
claiming that more people have be-
come interested in classical music
through their interest in rsgtime than
have ever been driven insane.
ST am not an idiot, I know, and |
don't believe 1 am crazy" said Sousa
when asked concerning the claims of
DR.. Gruener, who is a noted alienist
in his native country.
'Hysteria is the form of insanity
that an abnormal love for ragtime
seems 10 pIOuuCS, Sdlu LII. III uSuei'
He is way off," is the reply of
Sousa. People like ragtime because
it is catchy and it generally leads to
a greater interest in classical compost

THE effect of ragtime music. So
called, unduly Influences the auditory
centers, spasmodically. and also the
intellectual centers, which will pro

expressions.
Sousa claims the contrary.

British Patent Office Records Modern
Flying Machine-Detected With
Greatest Difficulty.

London.-The British patent office
has granted a patent for an improved
airship" which its inventor. Baron
Adam Rosenne, an airship and naval
engineer, claims will be invisible.
Though the airship, the baron says. is
to be of enormous size, at height
OF J, 800 feet she will be detected with
the greatest difficulty, and at a height
OF 5000 feet she viii be invisible, and.
with modern engines, no noise will
warn one Of her approach.
The main principle upon which the
invention is based is the equalization
of light and shade. The envelope is to
be made of chromium, a metal pos
sessing a highly polished surface,
which is perpetually retained by
covering of transparent varnish. The
surface or sides of the envelope. being
like a mirror, will reflect the same
color. bright or murky. according to

DIET FOR THE TUBERCULOSIS
Cannot 5e Given, Is Shown to Be
Erroneous.

Many traditions with regard to the
feeding of tuberculosis patients and
with regard to food in general, are
given severe blows in a series Of ar
ticles published in the October num-
Der Of the Journal of Outdoor Life, the
official organ of the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. DR.. John r. Murlin Of
New York, assistant professor of
physiology at the Cornell university
medical college, holds in an article en-
titled The Dynamic Principles of Nj
triton" that consumptive will gain
weight and 90 well on three pints of
whole milk, eight ounces of cream,
five ounces of milk sugar, six eggs and
two slices of buttered toast as a ra-
tiOn for "a hours. The entire diet,
with the exception of the bread and
butter could be prepared in advance
and served for a cost of about fifty
cents for the day. Miss Cecilia Flick
of the Henry Phipps institute of Phil
adelphia also offers some sample diets
which the ordinary family can prepare
for even less than fifty cents a day.
DR.. David r. Lyman of Wallingford,
Conn. and DR.. Paul B. Johnson of
Washington, D. c., both agree that
the ordinary person eats too much,
and that the old notions about stutfing
a tuberculosis patient at all times and
seasons have been proven false. DR..
Lyman holds that eggs are not a nee
essary article of the consumptive's
diet, and that tuberculosis patient
should eat anything that agrees with
him that is nourishing. He thinks
that a tuberculosis patient should eat
only a little more than a person in
ordinary good health
