NOVEL ELECTRIC RESTAURANT

An electric restaurant, which en-
tirely does away with the services of
walters, has been installed in Paris.
1t is fitted with tables for one, two,
threo, four and larger numbers of
guests. Beneath the dining room is
the kitchen and dishes prepared below
are sent straight up to the tables
through the floor.
guest gives his order through an
electrophone attached to the electric
lamp on the table. The ,electrophone
carries the voice to- the kitchen below
without any special effort of the diner
TO speak into it. The dish ordered
comes up through a moderate-sized
hole in the table. When the diner
wishes to get rid of dishes or glasses
ne merely says so and they disappear
silently through the hole by which
they came. When the table is a large
one the dish can be made to circulate
and stop before any diner who wishes
1t.
No waiter or human assistant ap-
pears at the table from the moment
the diner sits down until he goes out
when he wishes to pay his check he
says So. 1t comes up through the
table, he leaves the money and goes
away. There is no waiter to be
tipped and none to feel aggrieved be-
cause he is not tipped. The inventor
OF the system Is M Georgia KNAPP,
noted electrician living in Paris but
OF foreign origin.

STRIKE OF JAPANESE LEPERS

Although strikes are the order OF
the day in Japan a strike of lepers
is something out of the common. AT
the Kameyama hospital, however, this
recently occurred The hospital was
founded and is conducted by a so
ciety Of French monks and contains
some three hundred leper patients

paid by voluntary subscriptions and
by the sale of the produce of the hos

ment for their services, beyond their
board, lodging and medical attend
ance and a small sum for pocket
money, which Is calculated at the
rate of farthing per day. Recently
the lepers demanded an increase in
their pocket money allowance to a
half-penny day, and on the refusal
of the father superintendent they
struck work, and over a hundred es
capped from the hospital by night by
climbing over the wall. They were
subsequently recaptured by the local
police and reconducted to the care OF
the monks.

There have been some striking H.
Illustrations of this. For instance, on
February 10 Hugh Robinson while fly
Ing at Antibes, near Nice, France,
started out to give demonstration
IN rough weather. When he attempt
ca 10 come down the shore was crowd
ed with spectators and he was forced
to descend on the water. AS he was
about to settle a big wave rolled up
and hit the tail of the machine, pitch
Ing him out head first. Robinson es-
capped with drenching. .
TWO years before John B. Moisant
was killed in just such fall on land.
While making flight of $40 miles
along the Mississippi river Robinson's
motor stopped out over the river He
reached the water, drifted shoreward
and was towed back to the starting
point by boat. .--
1t Is this margin of safety that
makes the. hydro-aeroplane popular
with the sportsman, who heretofore
has hesitated about taking up flying
for the reason that the sensation did
not justify the risk. Aeroplane build
ers both In Europe and America have
awakened to the situation and are
turning out machines fitted with floats
or hydros.
The aeronautical organizations
throughout the country have been i'm
pressed with this clean record of the
hydro-aeroplane and are doing their
utmost to promote thus form of fight.
AS a consequence schools are being
established along water-fronts to sup.
plant the aerodromes on land. This
alone should insure liberal patron
age when it is considered that the
Aero Club Of America and it's ahaliated
clubs alone have membership Of g.

the matter Of hydroaeroplanes, 50
much so that this water plane may be
said to be an American invention.
While experiments were conducted In
Europe since 1905 only one machine,
the Fabre hydroaeroplane, as much as
left the water, and 1t was wrecked aft
er few short trials That was In 1910.
The first complete success was at
tanned by Glenn H. Curtiss in the
early part Of 1911, and for nearly a
year he practically had the field to
himself. The idea Of the hydroaero-
plane, however, seems to have original
ed with William Kress, an Austrian
Inventor. After a. years of expert
ment1ng he completed machine fitted
with cylindrical floats Of aluminium
which we're tried out at the Unter-Tuil-
nerbach chanuers in 1898 and 1901.
It never left the water. In 1902 and
1903 the Wright brothers made some
experiments, but they were terminal
cd by the breaking Of dam near Day
ton, Ohio. ]. M.
Other inventors followed, but with.
out any pronounced success. Among
those notably were Parseval, Du.
faux brothers. Archdeacon. Gabriel,
Vo1sin and Bleriot. The last three
collaborated in their experiments. Vol

which were tried out over the Seine
river.
In July of 1905 Voisin was trying out
a Bleriot in which the pilot was seat
ed In a cagelike apparatus. The ma
chine became submerged and for some
seconds he was fastened underneath
the water. He did not like this ex-
perlence and after that the machines
were flown over land.
Then In 1911 along came Glenn H.
Curt1ss with satisfactory solution of
the problem.

the water several hundred feet below.
The machine fortunately did not hit
ferryboat and consequently there was
only the loss of a camera
1t was while making these fights
that Coffyn demonstrated the feasible
1ty of communicating with ships in
case of emergency. He flew down the
harbor and overlook the Italian liner
Axona and landed passenger with
out the slightest difficulty. Coffyn aft
erWard said he could have caught the
boat so miles outside New York Just
as easily.
1t would also seem that the water
machine would be valuable for life
saving purposes along the coast. Dur
Ing the Chicago aviation meet last
August an aviator lost control while
flying and was pitched into the water.
Three quarters of mile away Aviator
Hugh Robinson was performing circles
in Curtiss machine. Seeing his fell
low f1ier in distress, he flew to the res
cue at a mile minute, reached the
spot, landed on the water alongside the
submerged aeroplane and offered to
give the plot a lift. All this in less
than one minute. .,r
On another occasion Naval Aviator
Herbster while carrying passenger
over San Diego Bay had: some mis-
hap in alighting and turned over. This
was about half mile from the shore.
Long before motor boats could reach
the spot Harry Atwood had launched
his machine from the beach and in
less than minute was to the rescue
of Mr.. Herbster and his passenger.
Neither was hurt. and both preferred
to stay by their machine. which was
upside down in the water, until a mo-
tor. boat came to tow it to shore.
A Hammondsport physician who had
received an urgent call to see 4 pa.
ttent across Lake Keuka, not being
able to get boat at once, found an
aviator to take him there. The pa
tient was in q serious condition. and
the time saved was important.
This new aircraft is not limited to
the water. 1t can fly at speed of
so miles OF more, skim the water at
so miles and run over the ground at
IS miles. It therefore marks the con-
quest Of three elements-air, water
and earth.
The hydroaeroplane is essentially an
aeroplane equipped with floats to take
the place of wheels Almost every
builder has his own ideas for hydro.
and hardly any two are exactly alike.

NEEDLE IN TOE 50 YEARS

After carrying a needle in her foot
for thirty years Mrs. Daniel s. Horn

chiropodist at Newton, N. J. For the
last few years she had severe pain
in her large toe and the chiropodist,
in removing supposed corn, extract
ed a good sized sewing needle, which
had imbedded itself in the bone of
the toe. Thirty years ago, when Mrs.
Hornbeck was a ten-year-old girl rum
ming about in the fields at Dingman's
Ferry, she stepped upon the needle.
She ran into the house, but there was
no sign of the needle in her toe and

Famous Estate in France to. Be
Transformed by Wreckers.
Noted Rendezvous for Many Well
Known Characters Centuries AGO
to Make Way for New Paris
Bourse or Board of Trade.

Paris.-At last It is settled that the
old Palais Royal is to disappear. The
bourse, or Paris board of trade, or
Wall street, or Fourth avenue. of
Paris, is about to take the place of
the old palace, which was the adorn-
ment Of the Paris of our great-grand-
fathers. This center of frivolous and
corrupted Paris of the distant past is
doomed to disappear beyond redemp-
ton. The Society of the Friends of
Old Paris are powerless to save it.
Indeed, it has been dead this many
day. It has become a cemetery
without mourning, a metropolis with.
out poetry. There is hardly a dream
OF Its past that has not been de-
stroyed.
The great square is given over to
children and their nurses No gild-
ed successors of the bedizened beau
ties Of the past now promenade the
Galer1e de Montpensier. A few be-
draggled creatures, nurtured by pow
erty, rather than by vice, occasionally
traverse this ruined Palace of Pleas
IRE. Even the jewelry shops have
long since moved away.
In the beginning of the eighteenth
century the Palais Royal was a sort
OF open-air club where people dis
cussed the happenings of Europe and
Of Paris from world politics to pri-
vate intrigues, big things and little:
the Versailles and the opera; the side
lights Of history and the history Of
sidelights.

the latter opened access for the Or

Louis Philippe fell for having trusted
the bourgeoisie too much.

as rowing a moderately sized boat.

duced in San Francisco the other day.
when Eugene Frey, an inventor, rode
across San Francisco bay on his home
made hydromotorcycle. The distance
from the starting point in Alameda
over Frey's circuitous course to the
dock In the city was IL miles, and the
queer looking craft was just one hour
on her way. Frey's engine worked
perfectly and he was never in danger.
The machine consists of double pom
toon attached to a motorcycle. On

machine is operated as a motorcycle.

New Use for Library Plaza.

A gay scene Is presented daily on

where they sew or read, sometimes
to the little ones or to the mothers
