SOME SILK HAT HISTORY.
inventor Was Prosecuted Only a Gen.
fury Ago.

We hear from time to time that the
day of the silk hat has passed and
that a death blow has been struck at
this tyranny of male fashion. But
perhaps this optimistic forecast must
be revised, in view of the terrible
news that reaches us from China. We
are now used to wars and rumors of
wars from the celestial kingdom, but
the worst was yet to come.
China has decided to adopt the silk
hat in place of the pigtail, and the
change has been made compulsory
among the official classes and the
members of foreign embassies.
Here in the West we believe that
we are emancipated from the abomi-
nation. that we have thrown off the
shackles. But we haven't. The silk
hat is still worn upon festive occa-
sions. at ceremonies. at marriages,
and when we expect to shake hands
with the president
Ordinarily we keep the horror hid
den away in closet, but we worship
it all the same. We regard il as a
link with better days. and when oc-
casion requires us to wear it we do il
with a sense of fatuous pride. In
spite of our ordinary villainous APP
pearance we feel that we can do the
right thing when we have to, that we
are still hitched to the proprieties.
And yet 1t is hardly more than 100
years ago that a man was prosecuted
for wearing a silk hat 1t was a
first offense. 1t was the first time
anyone had offen6ed in such a way,
land so the court was perplexed as to
how the wretch should be dealt with'
He was required to give bond Tor
future behavior, but if the judge mad
only known the effect of his ill-timed
lleniency he would have ordered that
the malefactor be boiled in oil.
hanged, drawn and quarterec, and
then confined in an asylum for the
rest of his natural life.

TEST OF FEAR OF ANIMALS.
Scientists Think Experiments Indicate
That Ultra Violet Rays Are Per-
raiHn4

a report has been issued of
series of extraordinary experiments
made during the recent solar eclipse
by the institute of animal psychology.
This shows that state of profound
CONSERVATION prevailed throughout
the humbler orders of creation at the
observation of the suns disc, and led
scientists to believe that animals are
able to distinguish the ultra violet
rays of the spectrum, which are in
visible to the human eye and which
are cut off during an eclipse.
Among the researches made by the
institutes members throughout the
world the most remarkable was the
use of the sphygmograph, an instru-
ment for measuring and recording the
strength and frequency of heartbeats.
By means of a delicate transmitting
apparatus the beats are graphically
shown on a slowly moving chart.
Sphymographs were applied to
horses, dogs. monkeys. badgers. lions.
Zebras. tapirs and other animals. and
in every case the agitated condition
of the heart showed the subjects to
be in state of nervous fear at the
time of the phenomenon.
Other experiments were made with
what the Institutes director calls
machines for measuring attention.
In the case of the higher animals the
subject was placed before a vertical
disk, slowly revolving and pierced
with number of large holes. sur
rounded by rings of different eolors.
If the animal puts it's head through
the red ring it obtains the FOOD it par
ticularly likes, but if through one of
| a different color a slight electric
shock is received. In n short time
the animal attains unfailing accuracy
| in putting its head through the right
| hole. provided no outside influence
distraets it,
1t was proved conclusively that
during the eclipse animals. such as
monkeys, dogs and members of the
cat family, which at other times
never made mistake. were so af
fected that they We're utterly unable
to distinguish the right hole from the
rest. and seemed TO suffer from a
temporary loss of memory.
The faculty of attention among the
| lowest animals, such as insects and
| fish. was scientifically tested by play
| ing them in circular glass. sur
rounded by a slowly turning card
board cylinder. on either side o. which
were printed broad vertical black
and white stripes.
In an ordinary time the animal
turns around the same way as the
stripes and after minute or two
moves at exactly the same speed.
During the eclipse number of these
instruments We're set up in the open
air. and, as the light deepened and
| changed. their occupants stopped
turning regularly and ran about in a
disorderly way and seemed complete
| ly terrified.
| The interest aroused by the theory
Ithat animals are sensitive to the
presence of the ultra violet rays is
inducing the institute to conduct
further experiments with the spec
trum to ascertain the truth of this
lview-N. Y. Times.
