DOG SLEUTH REVEALS MURDER
Canine Found Barking Beside the
Body of an italian in

White Plains, N Y.-Following the

fed man in a lake on Ophir Farm.

on the outskirts of White Plains, last
week.. the body Of another man who
had been murdered was found in q
lonely part of PleasantviIle. Coroner
Squires and Sheriff Doyle were unable
to find anything to indicate the iden-
tity of the body found
The man, who had been dead q long
time, had two stab wounds in the
neck 1t is believed that both men
were Italians. The body at Pleasant

who was attracted to the wood in
which it lay by the barking Of a dog.
The dead man was lying on his back.
As soon as Mr.. Rhoades came to the
body the dog ran away and has not
been seen since. AS there were no
signs Of a struggle 1t is supposed the
man was murdered in some other
place and the body brought to the
spot where it was found. Hundreds
Of Italians are employed in the con-
structiOn Of the new CatskiII aoue-
duct in Westchester county, and it is
possible. the authorities say, that che
two murdered men may have been

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success of Tent Scheme Last Sum-
mer So Pronounced That 1t
VIII Be Repeated.

Mothers Of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part of July last summer will be
interested in the success OF the baby
tent scheme adopted in some Of the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fat roofs Of
tall buildings and in open lots. with
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent. When all was ready mothers
Of babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, so that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the privi-
lege Of sleeping out Of doors, could
also receive the attention Of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some Of the tents have q perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. By evapora-
ton it greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some of the
tents were also kept cool by the use
Of large blocks of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably cool.
This is the way some of the poor
babies are being cared for. but the
ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare of the baby at heart

WRITER'S CRAMP, MISNoMER
Merely Case Of Inability of an Over
Tired Brain to Signal the
Muscles.

Biological tests by scien-
lists at the London hospital show that
writers cramp" and other similar
states of apparent muscular paralysis
are actually due, not to the firing of
the muscles, but to brain flag.
It appears that the particular part
of the brain which controls special
combinations of muscle-action, such az
the movements Of writing or the work
in gof a telegraph key, tend to be-
come more quickly exhausted In some
individuals than in others. Such ex-
haustion leads to state in which the
brain Is actually unable to send out
its necessary messages to the hands
and fingers to write, tap a key, hold
a violin bow. and so forth. Further
more. once the nerve cells, the bat
teries" Of the brain, get thoroughly
run down, It is not easy to restore
their enersy.

TO RESTORE GARDEN
Work Is Begun on Famous Or
angerie at Versailles, France. :
Landscape Is Considered lie Notre's
Masterpiece-It Has Particularly
of Giving the Impression of
Being Perfect Work Of Art.

Paris, FrSnce.-Important works
are in progress at Versailles in the
restoration of the Orangerie. These
are expected to be terminated shortly.
Since, therefore, the great gardener
LIE Notre again occupies public opin-
ion 1t is permissible to expatiate upon
the beauties Of the gardens at Yer
sailles, which are unquestionab1y his
masterpiece.
Designed as they are with consum-
mate art, these gardens are always
charming, though nowhere in them is
there a trace of abandonment or
fancifuIness. They have the partfcu-
larity of giving the impression of be
ing perfect work by reason of the
art, judgment and wit expended upon
thexn, and for this reason such poets
as Alfred de Musset have never been
able to admire their precise, stiff and
rather solemn style. But, on the 9TH
er hand, their beauty is one that en-
dures, over which the years slide with
out marking it with a shadow of de-
Grep1tude or with a wrinkle, and
which ends by triumphing over all
the caprices of taste, fashion and
time
There is a famous point in the gar
dens of Versailles-this is the one
chosen by Louis XIV. himself to af-
ford his visitors an opportunity of ad-
miTing his vast domains. This point
is in the axis of the Tapis Vert, at the
foot of the Parterre de Latone. From
it one can embrace in a magnificent
view the perspective of the Chateau,
the park and the Grand Canal
Turning first toward the Chateau,
the visitors eyes run rapidly over
the marble steps, the wide alleys, the
verdant slopes which lead up to 1t,
without missing the play of the foun-
tains, the sculptures and vases,
mingled with the trees, lawns and
flowers, with sobriety and perfect
taste.
From the parterre of the Orangerie
the eye naturally rises to the impos-
ing mass of the Chateau, which ap-
pears SO majestic above the stone
