THOUGHT CAMERA A GUN.
Mexican Soldiers Drill TIreIessIS
Before Moving Picture Outfit.

| An American camera man recently ven-
! tured into Mexico to take some pictures
Of Mexican scenery, together with a pa
rade Of a Mexican regiment Mistaking
him for an insurrecto about to start an
other revolution by turning a machine gun
on them. several hundred Mexican SOL
diers, comprising the garrison at Tia
Juana, broke rank while on dress parade
says MotOgraphy.
Officers Joined the privates in getting be-
hind buildings and trenches, and the regi-
mental bugler had hardly sounded the call
| to arms to repel the attack of the SUI
posed invaders when the moving picture
man, now thoroughly frightened himself.
| tucked his machine under one arm and
started to run for the boundary line. He
had gained the outskirts Of the town when
Mexican offiCer ventured TO snatch a look
from his hiding place, and. seeing the
ground clear. ordered charge with fixed
bayonets. 1t took considerable prodding.
however, to get the privates back into the
ranks and the military formation.
The frightened operator was overhauled
by mounted men. dragged back into town.
and taken before the commanding Off
Ger. The enraged soldiers wanted to make
target out of him then and there, but
the officers prevailed upon them to let
the regular military. law take its course.
The moving picture machine was care
fully taken apart and searched for ex-
plosives. The camera man pleaded with
the officers to let him go. He explained
to the MeXicans that he was not a fiI-
buster nor a soldier Of fortune: that he
was only working for a living. He went
through a pantomime with the aid Of a
sheet on the wall TO show the soldiers
how pictures are taken for the nickel
Odeons In the United States.
Then a great light burst upon the inteII-
geence OF the commander-in-chief. He
rapidly interpreted his discovery to his
fellow officers and his privates. The NOV
ing picture man stood dstrustfully by.
not quite sure that he had yet made him
self plain.
The soldiers were so overioyed at the
fact that they were to have been sent down
into pOsterity by the moving picture route
that the man was ordered to take their
picture without fear of interruption. A
brief examination. however, convinced the
moving picture man that he could never
accomplish the feat but he feared to
arouse the ire of the Mexicans, so he went
through the motions Of taking a real pic
ture, while the soldiers marched back and
forth within his range, drilled, nXed their
bayonets, charged upon imaginary foes,
pitched their tents, and went through
every detail of war life in Mexico.
His arms were aching from turning the
crank Of his broken machine, and he
would have ordinarily used up several
miles Of film when the regiment came to
attention and the commander stepped to
the front and proudly dofTed his cap.
That was the,end. The picture man was
loaded down with cigarettes and cigars
and presented with a silk scarf by one
OF the officers. He refused an invitation
to dine and hurried with an escort OF
honor to the boundary line, the men in

consumption millions Of bushels Of
wheat and corn that otherwise would
have gone to the production Of meat
supplies. II cannot be charged against
the beef packers that hay in certain sec
tons of the country is 100 per cent
higher than last year. osts, which
formerly cost 4s cents, costs now 70
cents. Ali this, in one way or another,
is reflected in the beef packing busi-
ness. Higher living also accounts in
part at least for the high cost of living.
The tendency is increasing to demand
the choicest cuts. And cheap lands
where once cattle grszed by the mill
lions are being absorbed rapidly by
settlers who devote the soil to other
uses.
This situation is likely to be intensi-
fed unless some method of restoring a
balance can be hit upon.

Why Beef Is High.

New York quotations tell US that ma
tive beef there is from IS to 40 per cent
higher than it was a year ago at this
time. This increase shows up still more
impressive when the beef is cut into
shapes to be offered over the. retail
counter. But present tendencies are SO
much in favor of attributing high prices
to manipulation that many may over
look the effect of natural causes.
The National Packing Company OF
Chicago has decided to dissolve vol
unfairly in order to escape further pros
ecution by the government; yet prices
are still on the rise and this is charged
by many to some form of unfathomable
manipulation. That this holding COM
pany has used its opportunities to the
limits of safety-and perhaps beyond
may be quite probable. Still even so
there is a limit to its ability to fix
prices at any figure it may see fit, and
the causes advanced by members of the
firm for the present high prices show a
large measure of plausibility.
There is one statement that has not
been challenged and which, if true, must
have marked influence upon prices. 1t
is that while there are now 100000
more persons to feed than there were
ten years ago the number of cattle in
this country has decreased considerably.
Here we face a singular situation in the
law of supply and demand. which is
inexorable in its operations.
Then there is another thing. It costs
more to bring our cattle to marketable
conditions. The cereal habit of the
present age causes to be used for direct

SPUN GLASS WIGS.
Any Shade of Hair Desired Can BE
EasIIy and Quickly Produced.

No one outside the artificial hair bust
ness knows the difficulty that merchants
in hair goods have experienced in get
ting material OF sufficient quaIity-espe-
cially in braids-at anything like the
prices which most people are willing to
pay. Many countries. indeed, place such
restrictions on wig makers, owing to hy-
gienic reasons, that natural hair is be-
coming more and more rare.
In certain parts Of France the expe-
dent was resorted TO Of making wigs
from certain fibrinous plants; especially
was this done with those which have
served TO furnish material for rugs and
blankets. BY splitting the ,ibers very

the labor involved the asking Of prices
that were almost prohibitive. Moreover,
complaints were made that the substi-

THE "BANDANA." "
Episode Recalled when Thurman
Spoiled ConkIey'a OratOry.

From the Boston Transc-ipt-
The initial mistake OF those who are
engaged in the formation OF the Roose-
velt party IS in the adoption OF an en-
blem. They appeared upon the political
Rialto with flaming bandanas tide
around their arms, which, 1t was eK-
planned, stood for the plain people by
whom they were ordinarily used. We
venture to say that not 20 per cent of the
people OF this country. plain or other
wise, have ever seen a bandana. It
would hardly have been more fantastic
and quixotic had each member Of the
gathering appeared with a silk stocking
around his arm, for It was customary
for bandanas and silk stockings TO be
the property Of the same person.
The last political use made Of the ban
danas was when Allen G. Thurman ran
for Vice President on the ticket with
Cleveland during thhe latters second
campaign, but that was not 10 lure the
plain people" but in compliment TO the
odd Roman who always carried one
of these survivals Of a pFevious gener-
alton and used It with sonorous effect.
1t added much not only to his own re-
lief but TO the gayety of the Senate.
When Roscoe ConkIing was making one
Of the, efforts OF his life and had Just
tion, Senator Thurman found It neces-
sary to blow his nose. Never had the
old bandana been applied with more
startling effect. There was a bugle call
whose echoes rang almost to the dome
OF the Capitol. The Senate burst into
roar, and the New York statesman drop
ped from his Empyrean with a dull, sick
enIng thud.
The genuine bandana was Of silk and
at least half the sixe OF an average
luncheon cloth. 1t belonged particularly
TO the old blue swallowtaiI coat with
brass buttons carried in the rear pocket
with a corner protruding, though 1t was
a sign Of substance. whatever the cos

WATER-CooLING METHODS.
Liquid Placed in Porous Jar and
Rotated swiftly Several Minutes.


Rotated swiftly Several Minutes.
When a native woman in one Of the
broiling hot little villages Of interior
Nicaragua wants to cool some water she
sets about it in a way little calculated
to cool herself. The average native
woman looks fraiI and llstIess, but there
is no suspicion Of listIessness about her
process of water cooling. She fills
half-gallon earthenware jar about two
thirds full. The jar is made Of baked
clay and, not being glazed. is porous, so
that 1t soon becomes moist on the out
side.
BY means Of two leather straps, firmly
attached to the neck of the jar. the
woman causes the same TO rotate swiftly
in the air The mouth IS wide open, but
centrifugal action keeps the water from
flying out. The endurance exhibited by
the women in this sort Of calisthenics is
marvellous.
When the operator deems the water 10
be sufficiently cooled she stops the move
ment by a dexterous twist Of her wrist
and hands the jar to the man who has
been waiting to Quench his thirst.
Usually he takes a nOuthful, gulps Il
down, and growls ''moOcha Calora,"
which is a native patois for ''wretChedly
hot" and she patiently resumes her task
of describing pinwheels. 1t Is said that
by this process tepid water can be re-
duced TO the temperature OF a very cool
mountain spring.
