The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-02-22

All that night it showed, and all
that night Harmed paced the
streets in a frenzy, looking for
her in every woman's figure that
hurried by. There were stout and
lean women, old and young, some
with dark, touSled hair, some friz-
zled blondes-there was none
whom he could have mistaken for
his love as far as he could have
seen her.
Toward morning he was back
in his studio again. He had torn
his letter to his mother into frag-
ments, and he was painting again.

Harned's picture, "The Snow
Bride" was the sensation of the
year. at the Exposition of Amer
lean Painters. In a single day he
leaped into celebrity. Ben, the
shrewd little dealer who had
some 20 of his pictures stored
away, now brought them forth
and held a Harmed exhibition,
which netted him nearly $4,000.
Commissions poured in upon
Harmed. He left the studio which
had become hateful to him, and
took a new studio apartment in a
fashionable district of the town.
All his heart was in his work
now. He had no hope of ever
finding the woman he loved.

back to post it, but his fears had
awakened again and he fastened
up the stairs to his studio, I'M

studio was empty.
He rushed into the bedroom.
The girl was not there. She was
not anywhere. She had gone as
mySteriously as she had come.
He called her, ran down the cor
ridors and shouted. A fellow art
ist came out of his room and
looked at Harmed with an amused
smile.

he replied. "Say, if I were you,

She was not in the house; she
was not in the street. Harmed
ran the length of the-block, peer
ing into the distance where Ttat-
ian peddlers were selling ice
cream to children, fruit carts dis
pensed bananas, the hundred &C
tivities of Little Italy were in full
swing. Among that swarming
populace that choked the streets

North Sea SuperstitiOns

Ireland's Own: The fishermen of
Whitby never dream of venturing out
of port without a little hammer
shaped bone, from the head of sheep,
known as "Thor's hammer" as this
little object is very special charm
against drowning The moles' foot is
also a "sure" cure for toothache or
cramp-according to locality. Ampu-
tated limbs are in some cases pre-
served so that the cripple may not be
deficient in this respect in the next
world.
At Scarborough an old peasant has
come to be regarded as almost a wiz
ard, for the country folks around
about come to him for relief from
rheumatism. His "cure" consists of
a copper bangle and ring, and on
either end of the bangle two small
bore brass cartridge cases are
wedged. These charms are sold to
the patient.
In Suffolk girl always keeps her
first tooth; then when she marries and
has child the tooth is suspended
about the infants neck during teeth
ing, as it is said, to bring instant re-
lief.
These superstitions mostly exist in
the countries which are washed by the
North sea- Doubtless they are sur
vivals Of the days of the bold Viking
marauders.

Salt Lake May
Reach San Diego

San Diego, Oct. 17.-That the ap-
preparation for the extension of the
Salt Lake route to San Diego has been
made, that crews are in the field going
over proposed routes, and that it is
the determination of officials Of the
road to complete the line within as
short a time as possible, are facts
which became known through authen-
tic sources yesterday.
Following closely on the heels OF
the visit of l.. A. Merrill, Salt Lake
City member of the Utah State EX-
position committee, and colonization
agent for the Salt Lake route, reports
flew thick and fast in local railroad
offices and hotel lobbies.
That the appropriation was recent
ly made there seems no doubt. Oftl-
cials of Salt Lake route are quoted by
San Diego business men. 1t IS known
that for some time crews have been
in the field near Escondido. When
questioned the men refuse to say
who is employing them.
T. C. Peck, general passenger agent
for the road, is expected in San Diego
within two weeks. General Counsel
Whittmore of the line passed more
than a month recently at the Hotel
del Coronado, but refused to discuss
railroad business at that time, saying
he was at Coronado for recreation
only.
1t is known that the company has
been gathering data and inside lntor-
nation through scouts and San Diego
business men for some time. The
work has been quietly done and no
direct word from President Clark has
been received since he announced,
several months ago, that the road
would be in San Diego by 1915.
BY a dissolution of the agreement
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cifc, it is understood that the Union
Pacific is anxious to tap the coast at
San Diego. AS the Union Pacific acts
as the banker for the Salt Lake route,
and owns, it is understood, 81 per cent
of the stock of that company, the
natural conclusion is that the outlet
at San Diego is very much wanted.
1t is believed that the route to San
Diego will be direct from Riverside,
almost a straight line.
The company has been figuring on
several pieces of construction, but 1t
was recently decided that the San
Diego line is most important of all.
An extension of ninety miles, San
Dernardino tC Daggett, was one of the
nlost important pieces of work the
company has decided to give up for
the time being, it is said.

through the house and set up sep
arate stoves wherever it was found
necessary. That objection, however,
does not hold against the small steam
or hot-water heating plants that are
now 80 common; and the furnace
man has added so much to his knowl-
edge that he can compete on equal
footing in house Of eight or nine
rooms, and he can outwit the others
when 1t comes to heating smaller

Hot-air furnaces are the most sani-
tary and the most economical for
small houses, in regard both to first
cost and to subsequent attendance,
because any woman can manage a
hotair furnace when the men folks
are away, and the coal bill is little
of any greater than 1t is for the more
expensive hat-water heaters, and 1t is
less when measured up against

Source of Strength.


We do not flatter ourselves that the
intellect of our time, judged by the
power of individuals, is exceptionally
great. No doubt, men of commanding
genius are still with us, but they are
not more numerous or more original
than in former times. What then Is
the peculiarity that has produced such
great results? In my opinion what
has been accomplished is due in great
part to the spread Of higher education,
which has evolved an army of compe
tent Investigators possessing enthusf
asm for research which now, for the
first time, is led into useful paths by
the few great minds, whose powers
thus receive a wider range and be-
come more productive. 1t is in this
that our great strength lies.-Prof.
Arthur Schuster in Science.

The imposition of British standards
on the United States is strikingly ex-
emplifed by the final enactment at

ping or shooting of foxes. In Great
Britain, where fox-hunting is an insti-
tuition, much as baseball is here, eX-
Cept that it is within the reach Of none
but the wealthy public opinion con-
demns the shooting of foxes as an Of
fease against sport, says the Pittsburgh

es for the hunts to run after is sup
ported in equity by the hunting organ
izatons paying the farmers the depre-
dations of Reynard on their poultry
yards. We hear of no provisions in
this act now enforced in Pennsylvania.
Simply because English sporting opin.
ion condemns the vulpicide, the legis.

Ship Cook Tells Mosquito Story
of San Bias Coast.
Double-Headed Dutehman Relates How
Natives by Their Ingenuity Were
Able to Load Vessel With
Cocoanuts Quickly.

New York-The cook of the British
schooner Carib H., which was at the
foot of West Twenty-fourth street
while in port, said that he was "dou.
ble-headed Dutchman." When ques.
toned as to the meaning of this phrase
the cook explained that a double
headed Dutchman" was a sailor man
hailing from Amsterdam, Holland.
1t is necessary to come from Am
sterdam in order to be addressed by
the above name. A man who came
from Rotterdam, the cook said, would
not be a "double-headed Dutchman,"
nor could the native of any other city
but Amsterdam use this title.
The Carib II. is white, three-mast-
ed schooner owned in Colon, and ar
rived with a cargo Of cocoanuts from
the San Bias coast. There were $780,
476 cocoanuts in the schooner's hold
when she arrived, according to the
cook, whose name is Gerrit Gallandt
a truthful man, fifty years old, who
has been cook on many ships since
he put to sea from Amsterdam 80
years ago. He has not been back
there since.
He remarked that it was necessary
to anchor about three miles off the
beach when loading cocoanuts on the
San Bias coast. He was asked how
the cargo was got on board.
Mosquitoes bring it out" replied
Cert without the semblance OF a
smile. THE mosquitoes on the San
Bias coast are 80 large and smart that
the natives use them to help out in |
various ways.
AS soon as we anchored off the |
coast one fine morning we heard a
sound like brass band. We thought |
1t was native celebration after elec- |
tion or something like that, but soon |
the sky darkened and the ship was
quickly showered by thousands of |
cocoanuts. 1t was the mosquito feet
bringing out our cargo and the noise .
we heard was their loud humming.
I'VE were very much frightened
at first and ran below, but a native
soon arrived In his canoe and explain
ed matters. He said that another
feet would be along pretty soon and
that we must be careful not to be
struck by the cocoanuts as they fell.
THE native said that efforts were
being made to train the mosquitoes to
deposit the cocoanuts in the holds of
the vessel, but he did not expect this
could be accomplished without a good
deal of additional training.
There was a good deal of satisfac-
tion among the chiefs, the native said,
over the new use that the mosquitoes
had been put to. Before they were
so admirably trained the cocoanuts
had to be transported from shore in
lighters and canoes to the waiting
ships"
Gerrit GalIandt concluded his tale
by saying that the Carib II. received
her cargo on her visit to San Bias
quicker than she had ever got one
before.
