Why Man Tightens Belt
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 Remembering the habit of tramps to tighten their belts when hungry, Prof Dr. Rudolf Lennhoff decided to investi- gate the efficiency of this simple remedy in actually suppressing hunger. Assisted by physicians he made use of the prop erty of the X-ray of being arrested by metals and their salts Persons were given drinks which contained in suspen- sion salts of bismuth or levigated load stone, or they were required to eat solid food, such as mashed potatoes, which had previously been mixed with metallic salts.
 Dr. Lannhoff reports to the Vossiche Zeitung the following results In the case of solid food, a contraction of the stom- ach could tN observed. and a relatively small quantity proved to be sufficient to satisfy the appetite. When liquid food was given in the ordinary way, i. e. by swallowing-the contraction was consid- erably less, and larger quantity was necessary for satiation.
 In third experiment the liquid was in- troduced into the stomach through tube. in this case twice the quantity of liquid was required.
 These eXpirements showed that the me chanioal stimulus of swallowing by reflex action causes a contraction of the stom- ach, thus accelerating sataton. This sug- gested that by artifically increasing the pressure on the stomach satiation could be accomplished with a smaller quantity of food. The trick of the hungry tramu was therefore resorted td. and a belt was applied tightly around the waist of the eater. The result was as anticipated.

LADY MARY's LONDON SOCIETY
Petty Jeaouses Split Royal FamilyQueen Mary and the Duchess of Teck Clash-The Duke Set Aside to
 Make Room for Younger Brother

1 just Prince George, was able to help him out of quite innocent scrapes Be tween these two a warm friendship grew up which has survived to this day Great was the excitement among the four little Montagus upon the arrival this week at Tandaragee castle in Ireland of their father and mother, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, after their long absence abroad. You will remember that the Manchesters formed two of the party that Mrs William Leeds took on a yacht to Colombo last January. The others re- turned to England in the yacht but the duke and duchess prolonged their tour eastwards going as far as China and Japan. They only returned lately, and as soon they could went off to Tan daragee to join the children, from whom their mother has never been parted so long before and declares she never can again.
 She Is, as you have often heard, a model mother, and 1t is owing to her own splendid constitution and the unceasing but sensible ''non-coddlng' care with which she has surrounded her children that they have grown up healthy young crowd, their family history on their fa- thers side being of course, consump- tive one. However, unlimited open air they have all their meals and all their lessons out of doors when possible-and wide open windows at night, whatever the weather or season, have worked won ders.
 Of course the children had grown tre- mendously in the nine months, and one of the first ceremonies to be observed was comparing their height with the measure ments regularly recorded on one of the doors in the nursery. the last having been made before their parents went away
 The next excitement was the opening of case of presents which the duke and duchess had collected on their travels for the children. There were qaint toys from all sorts of out-of-the-way places, but what pleased the little girls most were Japanese dresses in different colored em- broidered satins for each of them, and complete set of diminutive Japanese furniture, a table, chairs mats tea sets, bowls. etc, everything, in fact, with which to dress up and play at being somebody else, the chief delight of every child.
 Both the duke and duchess look better for their long tour. The sea voyages and the long days in the open have bronzed his grace to a most becoming shade, and

HUSTLING FOR BUSINESS
 THROUGH PANAMA CANAL

London. October 19.-(Special)- )-English and Continental ports are now preparing for the keenest kind of competition fol- lowing the opening of the Panama canal. England especially is waking up to the possibilities of the new waterway and representatives of many of the big docks in London, Liverpool and Barrow are either now in the United States or are preparing to pay you visit on the look out for trade
 Captain Alex Thompson, commercial agent of the Furness railway. owners of the Barrow docks, the third largest docks in Engiand recently returned from a trip of investigation to the United States. Speaking of his trip he said today:
 T was surprised to find many agents of continental railways and dock companies at all the principal ports of both the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. reached the conclusion that if the dock and railway companies of Great Britain were to reap any benefits from the Pan anna canal they would have to bestir themselves otherwise the continental ports would capture all the Panama busi- ness. At New York, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Galveston, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and many other ports, these continental "busi- ness getters' are hard at work.
 However" he added. ''since my return believe there is a strong movement 10 direct some of this valuable American trade to the British ports. At the present time, Alfred Aslett, general manager or the F'urness Railway and Dock company is in the United States and while he IS there as the delegate of the Barrow Chamber of Commerce to the lnterna- tional Congress in Boston he Will LOOK up this matter of over-sea trade

BIG "BooBY" EGGS TRAFFIC
Market in Jamaica for Eggs of the
 Gannet, Stupid Bird of Country
From Consular Report.

From Consular Report
 Trade in booby eggs is one of the sights of Kingston, Jamaica. Long ago the British seamen gave the name "booby' to several of the species of gannets, because these fowls are re- garded as stupid.
 The eggs are gathered in vast quan- titles on the islets at certain seasons of the year and taken to Port Antonio by the boat load. The arrival of boat with booby eggs is the occasion of no little excitement among the negro wom- en, who buy them by the box and then sell them by retail chiefly in Kingston. though they are also sold In Spanish Town. Port Antonio, Montego Bay and in other towns on the island.
 Though sold mostly by the dozen to housebeepers. booby eggs are also ped dled, hard boiled, on the streets of Kingston. salt and pepper being. provid- ed that the purchasers may eat the eggs at once. These eggs are about two thirds the size of an ordinary hens egg and are quite palatable.

London, October 19.-(Special) )-Consid- toria and Helen of Teck. the daughters of the Duke of Teck, Queen Mary's eldest brother, are about the same age as Princess Mary, 1t is curious that she should not find in them the playmates she has so often longed for, and that 1t has been necessary to find companions for her in the daughters of Lord Sails bury and the Duke of Devonshire.
 The real reason for this is found in 8 Feries of disagreements which has grown ,up in the Teci family-in the old White Lodge days, surely the most united fam lily to be found anywhere. The original eause of the trouble Is the Duke of Teck' s . wife, formerly Lady Margaret Grosvenor, daughter of the late Duke of Westmin- seter. The queens favorite brother Is Prince Alexander known among his pals ss Prince "Algy," and the-as the Ouch ess considered-undue prominence given to him, made her highness jealous This, of course. caused ill-feeling between the two brothers, and did not improve mat fters between the royal house and the Tecks; eventually 1t reached the little pitchers" who, never very congenlal to their shy little cousin, formed an alli- ance against her which the parents have been unable to break.
 Queen Mary and the Duchess of Teck look at things in totally different light Y ou have heard often enough of the rath- CT old-fashioned ideas of her majesty; well, the duchess Is her exact opposite. The daughters of the first Duke of Vest minister were always rather a go-ahead lot, and the unfettered country life they He'd made them independent and free and easy. Hence, it is not difficult to dis cover how often her majesty and her highness are arrayed against each other on questions concerning the education, Viressing and general bringing up of their Stldren. To add to t<e trouble, it Is said that the king and the duke do not often see eye to eye on military matters.
 The Salisburys long enjoyed the friend ship of the king and queen before their daughter was allowed to become inti- mate with Princess Mary. The Marchion- ess of Salisbury has always been about the court since she was quite young. and on several occasions, when the king was

GEAR NICHOLAS
 IS RICHEST MAN
Treasurer States He Could Buy Out All American
 Multi-MilIiOnaires
By GEORGE FRASER

St Petersburg, October 19.-tSpecial) J. While Russia is frequent and large borrower among the nations of the earth, Czar Nicholas, according to statement presented to his majesty by the imperial treasurer general, is the richest man in the world. The statement is couched in fanciful language, but the facts which it recites are said by St. Petersburg bankers to be beyond dispute.
 Your majestyl'' says Baron Menchi- hoff, need have no fear of every coming to suffer the stngs of poverty. Finan- cially, you are solvency itself With one hand you could buy out the American multi-millionaires, Rockefeller and Nor gan, and still have sufficient in the other to talk business with Baron Rothschild. Or, if you prefer, you can take over the Krupps, although l would not recommend the investment"
 Czar Nicholas is very angry with Baron Menchkoff and his playful ways and re- buked him soundly for indulging in such undignified comparisons
 The Czar's civil list amounts to nearly 100000 sterling, including the amounts paid to the grand dukes; and of this sum more than million is available for his own private purposes. Then he owns lands in Russia in Europe which cover an area equal to that of the whole of Nevada, of which the revenues reach the vast sum of s20,00o.000 per annum, of which s5,0O0,0o0 is paid to the grand ducal families. The Czar's lands in Siberia bring him in another s7500,000. although they are at present largely undeveloped Altogether, including interest on savings the Czar's income exceeds s30,000,000, and is increasing rapidly. He sets aside each year a large sum for each ofShis four daughters so that if any one of the royal princes contracts a marriage in that quarter he will do extremely we'll from a worldly point of view-though. of course the exact disposition of the Czars huge fortune is known only to himself and his financial adviser
 vised an ingenious method for providing money for the education of the blind. A copper coin luck-penny, Is to be made in the royal mint, and Is to be sold to the parents of every new born child who has the gift of sight by the nurse at tending the mother.
 The parents are to pay whatever sum they think fit for the lucky-penny, which is worth little less than an American cent, and bears the device. The child seeing the light for the first time presents a tribute to the child who will never see!'

Eggs in Contempt
, New York World.

FrOm tne NeW fOfK WOrTd.
 The supreme court must decide when an egg is bad. Just what constitutes a rotten egg will be decided by Chief Jus tice White and his associates at an early date.
 In enforcing the pure food law the gov ernment seized AZ cases of eggs in New Jersey, put up by the Seymour Packing company on the order of the H. J. Keith company of New York. The packing company raised the point as to how an egg was to be determined good or bad.
 pr. c. w. Stiles, bacteria expert of the bureau of chemistry, was called to ex- plain the method of passing upon the quality of an egg. He said that he count ed the bacteria. Just how many bacteria it takes to make bad egg the supreme court will have to say.

Smallest Republic

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The smallest republic is not San Ma rino. as usually supposed. but the diminu- tive island Tavolara. about seven and a half miles off the coast of Sardina. This island is only one and one-fifth miles wide and it's whole population numbers but 55 In 1886 Tavolara was. granted inde- pendence by Carl Albert, and certain Barteleoni assumed the title of king un- der the name of Paul l. He died in May, 1882. In 1886 the Tavolarians pro- claimed the republic, and. according to their constitution president is elected every 10 years.

Teaching by Pageants

From the Boston Globe.
 The United States will soon catch up with foreign countries in the matter of pageantry. Already pageantry is be- coming popular in this country. Pa triotic societies psychologists, teachers. Icivic associations and numerous other bodies advocating it in many states. The principal holidays of the year are now celebrated in part by his- torical pageants that give pleasure to multitudes.
 The success of the older countries in this direction is to be duplicated, and per- haps excelled, by the magnificent pageant that will take place in San Francisco on the opening of the Panama canal. On that occasion there will be opportunities for giving repieas of the stirring scenes which led to the discovery of America. it's wars, it's early efforts at civilization, the progress of a new nation, it's wealth and industries.
 The educational value of these affairs for the young and for newcomers to our shores can not be overestimated, for through them they gain a clearer con- ception of the history of the republic.
