A German motor. sleigh of unusual design, which travels at speed of 60 miles an hour, was exhibited at the recent automobile show in Berlin. An automobile motor occupies the center of the body and drives an aerial pro- peller, mounted at the rear and con- nected to it by means of a combina- tion of shaft and chain drives. The sleigh is described, with illustration, in the January Popular Mechanics Maga- zine.

Il dreds of volts, an electric globe
burning without any wire connection,
egg frying by wireless, wireess tele-
phony and telegraphy, and other cleo
trical phenomena, and also wonders Of
liquid air, were demonstrated in a
lecture by Professor L. H. Wood and
Henry l. Transform, an electrical ex-
pert, at the Washington Foreign Mis-
sion seminary.
The electrical discharges were seen
Gashing in long specterlike streams,
which snapped and cracked like light
ming. BY changing the terminals, the
flashes fesembled small electric foun-
tains. Mr.. Transform, holding his hand
near one Of the terminals, received
into his body a current Of at least 200,-
900 volts without any injury.
A wonder to the audience was the
trying OF the egg without any visible
bower, but there was heard the sig
cling and the low hum Of the transmit
ter, which was not connected with
the pan. Two hundred of the audience
heard through the receiver of the wire

CaptIvatlna CAPS.

The captivating London cap is one
of the details which no bride should
think Of emitting from her trousseau
And it will be even more desirable if
made to suit the personality of its
wearer. She has only to fix on any
period or nationality that she pleases
and to modify the cap of the epoch to
her own pretty features.
Mob caps are little out Of date, but
some girls may prefer a dainty frilled
mob with flowers and ribbons to one
of the newer models, which are rath-
er like cottage bonnets, the hood part
made Of spotted muslin, the accordion
pleated or goffered frill and curtain
being held in place by piping
through the middle and edged with
Valenciennes.
Neither gofferings nor pleatings,
however, are facile to redress, and
so we would command rather a bon
net of point d'esprit with lace frill
and curtain, pleated band of green
or blue satin across the front, and
little group of pink satin roses at each
ear

Lambs Are Slaughtered as Sacrifice

r OLEDO, O.-When a number of
j East side residents saw several
men and women gathered about some
bleating lambs they held before them,
they thought little Of it. But when
they suddenly saw one Of the men in
Hert a knife in the neck Of a lamb
they were amazed. They crowded
closer and saw these same men hold
the dying lamb while men and women
stood about reverently, muttering
sounds taken TO be prayers.
All this appeared strange to those
who watched, and one Of them, who
was angered at the slaughter Of the
lambs ON the open lot in the residen-
tial district, called the police.
When the motor cops arrived they
found the watchers or the lambs sur.
rounded by many other residents of
the East side. The man who slaugh-
tered the first lamb cut the throat Of
another. The live lambs stood near
by.
The police learned that the lambs
were being slaughtered by a number

their final sally.
Eingang entered the cellar through
window which he smashed with a
brick. Before entering he relieved him

After an inglorious retreat and a pa
laver as to the best means of obtaining
the surrender Of the fort they return
ed to the attack, only to be met with
different defense. Eingang had dis
carded his jelly Jars and assumed a
mallet. This he swung about his head.
When his attention was attracted by
revolver shots the three officers
pounced upon him. Wagonman Malls

infuriated man and almost bitten off,
When Eingang finally was bound tight
ly and taken to the patrol wagon 1t
was found that Sergeant Rea's hand
also had been cut by flying glass.

Finds Huts Upon a Lonely Island

n UIDNUNCS at Washington, those
" gentlemen who are always asking
What now?' enjoyed a considerable
thrill of mystery and curiosity in dis
cusslng the recent report of Rear Ad-
miral Southland, who on board the
West Virginia visited Palmyra Island
and 81 of lesser isles, lying about 1000
miles southwest of Honolulu, about 80
miles from FNnning Island.
The Palmyra group, says Chapple's
News Letter, was proclaimed part Of
Hawaii in 1882, but since it has ap-
oeared to the state department only re-
Gently that Great Britain had annexed
them in 1889, Rear Admiral Southland
was dispatched with the West Virginia
TO explore the group thoroughly and
especially to search for any public
monuments conflicting with the United
States claim to the islands. His re-
port on this point is very clear and
explicit, to wit: THE results are def

pole, notice board, monuments or 9TH
er surface objects indicating an en-
deavor to claim sovereignty on the

abounded

seemed impressed with the idea, say
ing:
IF It were not for the appearance
of the thing l would be inclined to
give 1t a thorough trial. We have for
hidden our employees to make loud
noises, run a wheelbarrow through
the stables or use rough language, as
it seems to reduce the milk supply.
Il have noticed that a woman gets
a greater quantity Of milk from a COW
than does the gentlest kind Of man.
believe this may be due to the fact
that practically every woman sings
softly as she milks."
While David Brown, manager of the
Hazelwood company, is inclined to be
skeptical, having more confidence in
ensilage and good alfalfa, he says he
does not question that soft music has
a soothing influence on COWS, which is
essential to a prolific milk production.
He added:
q am inclined to think there may
be more than a grain Of truth in the
reasoning, but I would not want Sousa
with his brass band to amuse my
COWS. l believe violin music would
get better results. In other words,
would prefer Kubelik to Sousa to en-
tertain our cows at milking time"

One Of the feats performed was the
loading OF an oven, capable Of doing
the cooking for hundred and fifty SOL

and three seconds. This was about
one-third Of the time which a similar
demonstration in oven packing had
consumed two years ago, according to
the officials.

have turned out a better dinner or
whittier, brown-crusted bread than did
the cooks in the open air with their

the watchers.

Fashionable women who attended
the horneshow at Atlantic City dis,
played keen appreciation OF the pow
er of black to set off their charms, es,
pecially in the evening. This ebon
hue was seen not only in patches, -
but in much larger pieces as well.
Black velvet hats were everywhere,
being worn alike by the women in
elaborate evening costume, and the
one in simple tailored suit.
One evening, in the boxes, there
was a surprising array OF all black
hats-velyet and ostrich feathers
and they topped costumes of every
hue. One matron of striking appear
ance wore such a hat, with a gown of
black and white, unrelieved by any
color other than the changing lights
reflected by few diamonds; and an
other had a black hat, with low cut
gown Of sage green, to which was
added a maline scarf in the same
shade. Even taupe color was seen
with the somber finish Of a black hat,
and there were besides the more con-
spicuous contrasts provided by black
head coverings, with gowns in emer-
aid green, rose and all the various
delicate tints and sparkles most af-
feeted in the evening.
While the all black hat relgned SUI
preme on one occasion, on another
evening it gave place to black velvet
with white or colored plumes. The
most effective plumes were the shad
ed ones, in which a number of pale
tones-blues, pinks, greens and grays
were mingled.
Hats in color usually had black vel

these was an immense white, furry felt,

trimmings were ostrich feathers shad-

evening with a li6e round necked
frock of ivory satin braided with yel-

The possessor of this costume wore

Get More Milk by Serenading Cows

G POKANE.--Practical dairymen and
- veterinarians and animal psycholo
gists in the Spokane district and
throughout eastern Washington are
agreed that the theory advanced by
Josiah Grant of Wisconsin to increase
the milk supply by the introduction of
dreamy waltz music in the COW sta
bles is reasonably logical and worthy
Of serious consideration.
Mrs. Joseph Rudersdorf, acting pres
ident Of the Spokane Humane society,
is confident the theory is correct, say
Ing: Music affects and soothes every
animal or human being. Loud music
would cause an animal to be nervous,
while soft music, which would soothe
the nerves Of the COW, would naturally
increase the milk production"
DR.. Otto MING Of the veterinary
STAFF Of the STAG Of Washington col
lege, who conducted experiments
along similar lines while preparing a
work on animal psychology, said the
man who ridiculed the Grant idea is
merely betraying his ignorance.
That idea is not to be treated light
ly," said DR.. MING. Anything that
soothes the nerves aids in the milk
production. Cows, as other animals,
are attracted or repealed by sounds.
To use cusswords with your COWS les
sens the milk production. l do not
question that soft music would have
the desired effect in increasing the
supply"
DR.. Walter Baker, also q member
Of the staff, recalled an experiment
where a dog secretes more saliva
while eating as music is being played,
and indorses the plan.
