STARTLED THE VISITOR.
A Joke an English Lord Played on ~

A Joke an English Lord Played on an
American Woman.
Lord Rossmore once startled an
American lady, a Mrs. Ronalds, whom
he encountered at the residence of bis
sister, Mrs. Candy, in the aristocrati.
Park lane Of London. He relates the
incident in '"Things Can Tell"
She knew my sister, who called heI
Fanny. and as thought Fanny was a
very pretty name said to her:
II think I'll call you Fanny too"
Mrs. Ronalds hadn't the least idea
who I was, and she said. half laugh.
ingly:
well, declare; 1 never saw such a
person."
Just then caught sight Of the re-
Election in a mirror of my other sister
Mrs. Stirling, who was about to enter
the room.
"Tll do more than call you Fanny
l continued; "Ill kiss the next woman
who comes in"
Mrs. Ronalds looked perfectly horri
fed.
You won't" she gasped.
won't I? Just see"
With this l wheeled round, and
catching Nora in my arms, l gave heI
a kiss.
1 believe Mrs. Ronalds must have
thought that her hostess was enter
tanning a madman unawares, but wher
the relationship of Mrs. Stirling and
myself was explained she enjoyed the
joke as much as any one.

ARTIFICE OF AN ARTIST.
The Secret of the Color In Ono o'
Turner's Pictures.

The late Mr.. Horsley, r. A, has re.
corded that at one time he studied al.

colors, called The Snowdon Range"

of the light clouds encircling the noon

put it into the hands of a noted expert

the expert sent for the owner to show
him what he had discovered. A circle

on the back with an ivory palette knife
where the artist wanted the effect and
then worked off sufficiently far through
the pores Of the previously wetted pa.

CAPACITY OF PLANT
TO Be INCREASED
An Outlay of $4,000 Will Be
Needed to Make the
Necessary Changes.

Plans and specifications for an addi-
tion to the municipal light plant will
be drawn Immediately by City Engi-
neer Charles and superintendent
Johnson. The addition will be a large
building and will include a new coal
shed
When the new building is complet-
ed the plant will be large enough to
install such machinery as will be nee
essary eventually to take care of the
entire lighting of the city. A new pow
er addition and new boilers will be in
stalled. The total expense of the ex-
tension will be approximately $4,000.
The cash on hand for this purpose
is $4,000, but by June, according to
Mr.. Johnson, the required amount will
be raised. The work is to begin next
spring.
The members of the board of works
were very much pleased at the pros
pect of increasing the capacity Of the
plant, which they consider one of the
most valuable assets of the city. Presi-
dent Kennepohl said he was a member
of the administration when the light
plant was Quit anu was SldQ he ndQ
the honor of asserting to the con-
struction Of the addition.
Other Recommendations.
Superintendent Johnson also recon-
mended that the house wire inspector
be considered city office holder rath-
er than an employe of the plant. The
management experiences trouble be-
cause he is considered an employe of
the light plant. Whenever he con,
demns a mouse where the wiring is not
up to standard the owners change to
the other light company and the city
loses business. A clause will be plac
ed in the building code to relieve the
light plant from all responsibility.
An employe of the plant will be in
structed how to test all kinds Of me
ters by S. A. Sullivan Of the Schnecta
dy Electric company. All meters viii
be tested by the employe. According
to the superintendent the city is los
ing money because the meters are no
regulated properly.

THE PHONOGRAPH.

its Invention Was the Result of C9s
on the Finger.
An accidental cut on the finger
caused Edison to invent the phono.
graph or talking machine.
Mr., Edison told the story of this in
vention to reporter. At the time, he
said, he was singing into a telephone.
and in the telephones mouthpiece he
had placed, for safe keeping, a fine
steel point. Suddenly this point cut
his finger. He found, to his surprise,
that it had been moving here and there
and roundabout, guided by the vibra,
tions of his voice.
He placed a strip of yellow paper
under the steel point, replaced 1T in the
mouthpiece and said the alphabet. The
steel while he spoke ran over the pa
per, and for each letter Of the alpha bet
it made different mark or scratch.
This was what Mr.. Edison had hoped
for. He now held the steel point still
and drew the paper scratches slowly
over it. There was given forth. very
family, the alphabet as he had repeat.
ed it.
Thus the principle of the phonograph
the registering and the reproduction
of the voices vibrations-was discov.
cred through the cutting Of a finger. II
was Edison's finger. though. that was
cut. Smiths or Browns might have
been quite hacked off and no phono.
graph would have resulted.

Never Can Happen Again.

The Montenegrin, law which ordain:
that any found valuable shall be placed
where the loser can find it reminds on,
of an anecdote told Of Grimaldi's grand
father In Dickens life of the famous
clown. On one of his visits to Leaden
hall market with nearly f4O0 in gol6
and silver upon him ''he found that his
shoe had become unbuckled and, tax
ing from his pocket the bag, he placed
it upon n neighboring post and theI
proceeded to adjust his buckle" Hav
ing afterward to pay for a purchase
he missed his bag Of gold and hurried
back to the post where he had buckled
his shoe. Although more than three
quarters of an hour had elapsed,
there it remained, safe and untouched
on the top Of post in the open street!
That was in eighteenth century Lon
don. Could it happen now?-Londor

TOO MANY TREES
Hollarn Thinks Many Should
Be Transplanted.

There are over 1000 trees in Glen
Miller park which should be trans
planted and used to a good advantage
according to Ed Hollarn, superintend
ent of the parks. All kinds of trees
are now growing in the park forest
The trees are valued at fifty cents
a piece. Some Of the hard maple trees
are being transplanted and placed
along the Main street side.
Many of the ash trees are being
planted in Starr park. A number OF
trees which were planted there last
year have died because Of the gas
that issued from the regulator located
near there. The regulator has been
removed and it is expected that the
trees will thrive there now.

ARE MARKING TIME.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. with
the representatives of the govern
ments of the Balkan league marking
time today while awaiting Greeces
signature to the armistice which is eX-
pected to lead eventually to peace,
there were strong indications of a
split among the allies.
1t is learned from private source
that Greece has protested against con-
cessions to Turkey because of the ov-
erwhelming defeat of the Turks
throughout Europs save at Scutari,
Adrianople and Chatalja. Nearly all
of Turkey in Europe west of Adria
nople has been swept clear of Turkish
opposition. The Turks seem highly
pleased with the diplomatic victory
they have apparently secured. For
eign minister Gabriel Effendi Nora
doughian has informed foreign diplo-
matte circles that Turkey sees no
hope for an early peace.
The war office denied the report
that Adrianople had fallen because the
flames had driven the defenders from
the garrison. 1t was said that last re-
pOTIS lTOIn IuduS lle olltd
tion out there as satisfactory"
The loss of Adrianople at this stage
would prove disaster to Turkey for
the demands of the Ottoman peace
plenipotentiaries from the allies dur
ing the negotiations were based large
ly upon the inability of the Bulgarian
army to capture Adrianople and Chat
ALA.
BY the retention of Adrianople even
unfortified, Turkey would yet possess
the basis for territorial claims, the OF
toman government would otherwise be
forced to relinquish.
Turkeys insistent demand that one
armistice condition should allow the
victualling Of besieged cities was in
spired by the fervid ambition to hold
Adrianople.
This was another sore spot with
Greece The Greek government made
protests against allowing the passage
of provisions in the beleaguered cit
les and declared that if the allies were
cooped up in any city the terms would
be equal while under present condi-
tions only the Turks are benefited.

A Cheerful Reason.

A French governor Of the south Pa
cific colony of New Caledonia assumed
his authority while the natives OF New
Caledonia were still cannibals. There
had been rumors of an insurrection.
and the admiral called before him q
native chief. who was faithful to the
French cause, and questioned him as
to their truth.
You may be sure" said the native.
"that there will be no war at present,
because the yams are yet far from be-
ing ripe"

Yes. Our people never make war
except when the yans are ripe"
