accomplished, for the remainder of the
roads were in excellent shape. Away
the machine speeded at a great rate.
The speedometer had smashed itself
earlier in the game. sometime about
the time that it must have smashed
the speed regulations, so it could not
be seen at what rate the car was going.
But even Chiffon would not have been

walk, because the Rapid Transit cars

this reached the Bungalow at ten min

The trip was indeed a great one; it
was strenuous certainly, but it was an
experience that very few would care
to miss.
One of the chauffeurs, when twitted
with his being a gutter for not making
the trip, said that he had orders TO
follow the General, and he only carried
out his orders.

TO DISINFECT RIVER BOATS
Sanitary Authorities Of Port OF Lon
don Adopt Apparatus Which In
ciudes Generator and Cooler.

For the disinfection of vessels on
the Thames, the sanitary authorities
of he Port of London have adopted
an apparatus known as the Clayton
Dilute Gas Disinfecting Machine. rms
is usually fitted in the hold of a barge
and taken alongside the vessel to be
%fumigated, but about 200 vessels are
equipped with machines as permanent
fixtures for their own use. The ap-
paratus includes a sulphur furnace
generating sulphur dioxide, a gas cool
er. and a Root blower. About l,O0O
cubic feet of air per minute Is drawn
along his suction pipe by the blower,
dividing into two streams as 1t reach
es the mixing valve. One stream OF
about 200 cubic feet per minute pass
es through the generator, becoming
charged with Is per cent. Of sulphur
dioxide, and is then led through the
cooler to the base of the blower,
where the other stream of 500 cubic
feet per minute is met. The resulting
mixture, containing 3 per OF sui
phur dioxide, Is forced along the de-
livery pipe to the pressure orltlce or
the blower. Suitable hose leads to
the compartment to be reached and

trio motor or gas engine forces the
mixture, as it is generated, into ev-

OLD DISEASE is INCURABLE
Whole Families Are Afflicted With All
urophobia, or Fear of Cats
Grows More Intense.

1t a meeting of a field naturalists
society in Edinburgh n of the mem
bers read a paper on ailurophobia,
which means the fear of cats" and
cited e examples Of persons
for whom the ordinary harmless cat
possesses the greatest repellant pow
ers. Whole families are afflicted with
it, according to the paper, and the per-
sons so afflicted either tainted or went
into Mysteries If a cat brushed against
their clothes. 1t was agreed by all
who had my knowledge of such cases
that 1t was a genuine disease and that
It was incurable, and also that the
aversion to felines grew more intense
with the z of the afflicted one.
This is only one interesting phase OF
a study which las always been Of su-
preme interest to students of heredity.
They probably would explain that it Is
the recollection of some remote ances-
tors fear of the great felines that
made primeval life miserable, surviv-
ing countless generations of immunity
from m~olestation or the fear OF 1t.
These instructive likes and dislikes
which come down to us more or less
vaguely and only break out in pro-
nounced guise in odd cases are less
frequent with human beings than with
animals.

A New Gem From California.

San Benito county, California, has
given it's name to a new candidate
for admission to the circle Of the
precious stones-"benitoite.' 1t is Of
a sapphire color, hard and remarkably
brilliant. Chemists say it is a "silico-
titanate of barium." 1t is found in
rock pockets and in geodes associated
with natrolite and a hitherto I'M
known black mineral called c%arlosite.
During 1907 benitoite made it's first
entry into the report of the Geological
Survey on the precious stones of the
United States, the value of the uncut
stones found in that year amounting
to 81, 500.

to turn in any direction h car turns,
thereby eliminating one cause of &C
cidents. The lamps are pivotally
mounted and turned easily. Attached
to each is a three-piece jointed rod
which run under the hood OF the
auto and connects with the steering
gear. When the wheel is turned the
lamps turn automatically and throw
their light in whatever direction the
car is going. Hitherto, in turning a
corner the road just in front was not
illuminated until the motor car was
all the way around the corner. This
has caused many accidents, as for a
few seconds the driver could not see
what was ahead if it was a dark
night. The invention here shown
keeps the path always Illuminated and
eliminates the danger completely.

McKinley's Campaign Methods

submitted to me before delivery" he
said. This is a vital point. When I
am going to address any delegation, I
always make 1t a point carefully to
write out what / am to say"
Furthermore, Mckinley was prob
ably as careful In the preparation of
campaign speeches as was Roscoe
Conkling, William II. Seward or Ho-
ratio Seymour. Like those great cam
paigners, Mckinley took the utmost
pains in the preparation of a political
address. Indeed, he went even far
Their than any of those men did. per-
haps because he did far more general
campaigning than any of them, fre-
~quently speaking two and three times
a day during an entire political cam
paign.
Having thoroughly thought out the
argument in support Of the issues
which he represented, Mckinley la
bored assiduously over reducing his
arguments to writing. That ask ANAL
ly accomplished to his satisfaction, he
then carefully divided what he had
written into sections. Sometimes a
section would consist of two or three
brief paragraphs. Sometimes it would
be long enough to consume fifteen or
twenty minutes in delivery. Again 1t
would come perilously near to en-
bracing everything hat had been re-
duced to writing.
Never was a section arbitrarily
given a certain length. Whenever Nc
Kinley made a campaign tour of any
Importance he carried with him a
timetable of his own making. This
showed the places where he was to
speak and the length of stay in each
town. If the train schedule called for
a one-minute stop at the next town
Mckinley glanced w that portion
Of his speech which could be deliv-
cred, and was prepared, In fact, for a
one-minute address. If a five-mfnute
stop was scheduled, then he would re-
fresh his memor of the f1ve-minute
section of his speech. A fifteen-minute
stop caused the ffteen-minute section
to be brought forth; and where time
permitted the entire speech would, of
course, be delivered. So skflful. how
ever was Mckinley in varying his
p~hraseology hat he never seemed to
repeat himself. Practically every time
he delivered the flve-minute section of
his speech. for example, it would be
clothed in a new verbal dress. Yet
the meaning of the section was al
ways the same. and as clearly pre-
sented in one dress as another.
This, perhaps, was the most strik'
ing of the various tricks of campaign.
ing that Mckinley employed which
led those who accompanied him on
his campaigns to state with practical
unanimity that Mckinley was the most
skilful and economical user of his
time. his voice, and bis mental and
physical strength OF any campaigner
they had ever accompanied.

Eyarts Was Just a Plain Man

The evening following the great aft

leading members OF the administration
were present. OF course, Sir Richard
Webster was also present, and when
one of his fellow diners asked him
what his experience had been at the
capitol q few hours before he at once
began to voice his intense admiration
for one Of the speeches he had heard.
Then, turning to Mr.. Evarts. he con-
tinued:
made by Senator Conkling. l believe
he represents your own state. Mr.
Evarts."
The secretary Of state nodded his
head slightly, while the other mem
bers of the administration struggled
to suppress smiles; for the %antipathy
that existed between Evarts and Conk.
Ling was well known to one and all.

This time there was not even an al

words precisely spoken, and with 4

For a moment there was silence

on our backs. and our little posses
sions in carpet bags. and with more or
less gold dust apiece, we started OF
to tramp over the mountains in a
tropical rain that fell all day.
AS we struggled yer the trails
along the creek beds we became very
much scattered. Finally. two or three
of US came + o a little house e the
top Of the mountains whore a native
family was eating dinner under a

were served with food, and we ate
heartily, and after paying our bill
asked what kind of meat we had eat
en-. For reply our host pointed to
some chattering monkeys In the trees.
That wal the only food we had for
