Experiments have recently been
carried out in Germany with the OBJ
ject of discovering methods and
means for rendering walls and cell
ings capable of effective resistance to
sound transmission. Oae of the more
recently devised methods involves
the use under the ceiling or parallel
to the wall, as the case may be, of a
network Of wire stretched tightly by
means of pulleys secured into ada
cent walls and not touching at any
point the surface to be protected
against sound Upon the wire net
work is plastered composition
formed of strong glue, plaster of paris
and granulated cork, so as to make a
fiat slab, between which and the wall
or ceiling is a cushion of confined air.
The method described is said to be
good in two respects; first. the alb
sence of contact between the protec-
tive and protected surfaces, and. Sec
ondly. the colloid nature of the com.
position recommended for the plaster.

The conclusion is reached by Lon
don journal from observation Of the
increasing number of American women
who go to Europe alone that "Ameri-
can husbands are drag on their won1-
len folk when travelling abroad" Why
only when travelling abroad?" Many
American husbands will be disposed to
indorse the statement without the quail
flying clause These are the husbands
who find themselves generally in the
way except when bills are to be paid,
says the New York World. They are
those who prefer the slippered ease
of their homes to the allurements of
the cabaret show, who refuse to learn
the turkey trot, though everybody in
their "set" is doing it; who play auc-
tion bridge under compulsion, and 9TH
erwise impede domestic happiness
Husbands exist az a necessary encum-
brance in the present social scheme
but doubtless they will have to be
borne with until some automatic meth
cd is devised for making the money to
pay for automobiles and clothes and
tuition fees, as well as the rent.

bureau embarked in it's new line of en-

its first attempt is speeding happily
westward with honeymoon in the
sweet breezes of the Pribiloff islands
as an objective. 1t all came about in
this way.
Out in the Pritiloffs there are few
white people, but many Alieuts, and
the progeny of the Alieuts are both nu-
merous and ignorant. To the bureau
of fisheries, which is the real gov
eminent OF the Pribiloffs and the
Alieuts and seals which there abound,
has been delegated the task of bring
ing light where heretofore was dark
ness. The school system of the Prib-
lofts is a division of the work of the
bureau of fisheries. 1t is the intention
Of the government to have two
teachers on each of the large islands
of the group. The fisheries people
prefer that they have a man teacher
and woman. They also prefer to
have them a married couple.
Casting about for new material, the
bureau found that Alvin G. Whitney

BREAKS JAIL TO FEED CATS
Nevada Miner Tramps Forty Miles
That His Pets May Not Suffer-

San Francisco, Cal.--When James
Watkins, miner. was placed in Jail
at Searchlight, New, recently, charged
with having stolen pair of lace cur

his pet cats were fed. The jailer
laughed at him, but when night fell
Watkins broke jail and tramped forty

his pets. The sheriff, followed him
next day in motor car and found
Watkins pouring milk for the cats at
his cabin.
The charge against Watkins prob
