NOVEL USE OF ELECTRICITY
New Paris Hotel to Employ Substitute
for All Domestic Servants
Order by phone.

A new hotel in Paris is going to try
the experiment of having all the serv-
ice performed by electrical devices,
which will almost replace the domestic
servants The dining room is fitted
with the ingenious electric table to
which everything is sent up from be-
low, the dishes running around the
table and stopping before each person,
then disappearing again when no long
er wanted. A periscope such as is
used on a submarine makes the table
visible from the kitchen underneath
and orders are given by loud-speaking
telephone without leaving the table
Both telephone and periscope are con-
cealed in the chandelier. The new no.
tel is to contain many special devices
Of the kind.

Two things with regard to wireless
telegraphy have been brought into re-
newed prominence by the disaster to
the Titanic-the inestimable value Of
the service as a means OF summoning
assistance for sinking ships, and the
necessity of regulations to prevent pri-
Vate telegraphers from interfering,
with irrelevant messages. The sink
ing of the Titanic occurred between
two and three o'clock in the morning,
an hour at which it might be supposed
amateur wireless operators would all
be in bed and asleep, says the Evening
Wisconsin. Nevertheless there are
complaints that the wireless messages
from the Titanic were taken" with
difficulty, because Of interference. In
Europe as well as in the United States
there will be legislation to put down
what the London Times calls these
freaks of private vanity or levity OF
ostentation"

In Paris, the police dogs have now
been given official rank and attack on
one of them is classed as resistance to
lawfully constituted authority. The sit
uation has its element Of humor but
as a matter of fact, their protection
as regular members Of the police, has
been found necessary to save them
from the lawless gangs whom they
help the police in restraining. Still,
the spectacle Of man arrested on the
charge of resisting a police dog in the
discharge of his duty is novel and odd
enough to have its ludicrous side.
