Cubists Explained.

1t is obIaina BILE in book form and is
the product of the first cubist writer
in the world Gertrude Stein, of Paris.
This authority says:
There is all there is when there has
all there has where there Is what
there is That is what is done when
there is done what is done and the
union is won and that division is the
explicit visit
Neatly put, is it nota Nothing like
consulting a real authority. Here is
some more, just as clear:
There is that desire and there is no
pleasure and the place Is filling the
on,. space that is placed where all the
piling is not adjoining. There is not
that distraction.
"A wall that is not stepped where
the floor is covered Is not the place
where the room is entered. The whole
one is the same. There is not any
stone. There is the vide door that is
narrow on the floor. There is all that
place."
With this clear explanation of the
new cult YOU can realty see why a
picture OF an explosion in shingls
mill is labeled Nude Descending Q
Staircase''-also why the police cen

NAT MEApER ASHORE.
Bath Schooner Brings Up on Spit in
Boston Harbor.

Boston, April 20.-In endeavoring to
avoid collision with a tow of inward
bound barges the three-masted schoon-
er Nat Meader of Bath. Capt. George
". Barter, from Raritan River. \. j.,
laden with fish oil. ran ashore, late
Friday night, on the spit on the east
erly side of Bug light and remained
hard and fast for 10 hours before she
was floated by the tug Bronx.
According TO the story told by Capt
Barter, the Meader came through the
narrows, and when it was time to tack
the captain was unable to do so be-
cause of the barges which strung
along en- the weather side.
When she finally cleared the barges
and was able to tack the schooner
mis-stayed and brought up with con-
siderable force on the spit.
At daylight. Saturday. the patrol
from the Stony Beach lifesaving sta
ton sighted the stranded craft ans
Capt. Sparrow and his crew immedi.
ately went to her assistance in their
power boat. They assisted in putting
ont a kedge and in running a line to
the tug Bronx For two hours the tug
pulled on the schooner before she was
dragged into deep water. The Meader
leaking slightly, was towed 70 Boston
wharf.
The Meader was built at Wiscassei
in 1885, and halls from Augusta. she
is 11s fet long, 2s.s feet beam, 10.3 feet
depth of hold with a net tonnage OF
225. She carries crew of four men.

why More Women Than Men.

me TACT that IN almost all civilized
countries women outnunber men has
been ascribed to the higher birthrate
of girl babies: yet statistics show that
Jos boys are born to every 100 girls.
According to figures compiled by y
European statistician, the girl has It
better chance than the boy of attain
ing maturity.
He finds that from the third to the
fifteenth year the mortality for both
sexes is the same; from the fifteenth
to the nineteenth year. the critical age
for girls, the girls chances are slight
" better than the boys; from the
thirtieth year to the thirty-fifth the
mortality among women is smaller
than among men, and it continues
smaller until the SEVENTEEN year.
Then, for a decade and a half the
sexes once more have the same chance
of survival, but above eighty fise
years of age, woman again stands n
much better chance than man.
To account for this difference the
statistieian points out that woman has,
greater residence in shaking of dis
eases than man. 1t is true that tho
physical strength of man is greater
than woman's. but woman's power
of endurance is more robust.
One reason for this is that woman
possesses a finer perception of her
power of endurance than man, am
when her perception warns her OF fa-
tigue, she stops. A man does not stop
until his power is exhausted. HIS
nervous system is not as finely or
ganized as a woman's, and as Mosso
the Italian psychologist has pointed
out men and women are entirely de
pendent upon their nerves for caution

ROMANCE IN HOUSE OF HAPS.
BURG.
Heir to the Austrian Throne Fol-
lowed Dictate Of His Heart.

Even in the days of airships ard
wireless telegraphy the glamor ef old
world romance still clings to the
Austrian royal house of Hapsburg.
and traditional conventions inherited
from the Middle Ages complicate the
question of the ultimate success te
the Austro- Hungarian throne. The
present emperor. Francis Joseph /, is
now in his SD year, and upon his
death the crown will pass to his
nephew, the Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand.H So much is settled; but the
problem of whether the succession
will remain with the archduke's fam
lily or VIII pass to collateral branch
is already vexing diplomats.
:, The rArchduke Francis Ferdinand
son of the, present emperor's brother
| the ,Archduke Karl Ludwig, by. his
second wife, Annunciade of the two
Sicilies,s was born in 1868. spent his
youth at Gratz away from the distrac-
tons of Vienna, and entered the army
| in 1873. Though various archduch-
esses and princesses were suggested
as proper objects for his attentions,
he persistently declined to go a-woo-
| ing; but in 1900 he Mortified court cir
cles by announcing his intention TO
marry-not an archduchess, but q a
| simple lady in waiting to an arch
| duchess, the Countess Sophie Chotek,
| daughter of Czech diplomatist OF an
| ancient but far from royal house.
The old emperor gave his consent
to the marriage, which was accord
| ingly celebrated. But under the law
such marriage between a member
of the royal house and a subject, wnile
binding between man and wife, was
morganatic-which means that the
archduke was obliged formally to re
nounce all possible claims of his wire
or Of the children that she might
bear to him, to royal rights. Though
the emperor conferred upon the couh-
| tess the title of Princess HohenDerg,
she was scarcely regarded by the royat
family as one of themselves, and liveu
in retirement with her husband. hu.
/ in 1909 the emperor issued an auto-
graph letter decreeing that the FIN
cess Hohenberg should thereafter bear
the title of duchess, with the right OF
official precedence over all outside OF
| the royal family. The emperor Of
Germany, who has good reasons Tor
wishing to stand well with the heir
to the Austrian throne, has made, p
point of being gracious to his con-
sort, seating her at his right hand at
royal banquet. Besides. the duchess
| is a woman of consummate tact ana
charm, and it seems not improbable
| that she may eventually be crowned
empress queen and that the crown
may descend to her son.-Woman's

CHECK BABIES At CHURCH.


In order that mothers may not have
an excuse for not attending church
because they have. babies to look after,
the Rev. DR.. Ira William Barnett, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church
at Port Chester. decided on the novel
innovation of opening a nursery in the
church every Sunday. He put his plan
into practice last Sunday for the hrst
time and six babies were taken care
of in the nursery while the mothers
attended divine services. The nur-
sery is located in the social room IN
the rear of the church, and two young
women, Miss Edith Butts and MISS
Imogene Martin, volunteered to. look
after the babies. They had an easy
time, as the infants were very quiet.
The need Of the nursery, DR.. Barnett
said would be greater soon, because
he baptized nine fables at the. morn
ing service and the mothers are all go
ing to attend church hereafter II the
nursery should be crowded with pa

SIao for Fertilizer.

| In the course of the investigations
made by the bureau of soils OF the
fertilizer resources of the United
States, the possible utilization OF the
waste products from various indus
trial processes is receiving serious at
tertiou. One of the most important
of these by-products, that is at pres
enc regarded as so much waste, is the
Stag produced in the manufacture of
iron and steel s.sssz !.
The disposal of this Stag has become
quite problem, for though small
quantities are consumed in the manu-
facture of cement, brick and mineral
wool, and larger quantities for roof,r g
materials. road building and railroad
ballast, the vast bulk of the Stag pro-
duced in this country is thrown away.
Near many of the plants all the space
available for dumping purposes has
been utilized, and in order to dispose
of the molten Stag a haul of half q
mile or more is frequently made nee
essary. In foreign countries, particu-
larly Germany, where the iron ores
used are high in phosphorus and the
basic, essemer process for the manu-
facture of steel is largely used, the
Stag produced is rich in phosphoric
acid and, therefore, finds a ready mar
ket as fertilizer. The iron ores
used in this country, however. with
the exception of some mined in Ala
bama, are very low IN phosphorus and
consequently give slags containing, as
a rule. considerably less than / per
cent. of phosphorie acid.
The three processes chiefly employed
in this country for the manufacture
of steel are the acid open hearth
method, the basic open hearth, and
the basic Bessemer process. The ba-
sic Bessemer process, that was devils
ed for the purpose of handling ores
high in phosphorus is but little used
in the United states.
1t is only by the two basic processes
that phosphorus is eliminated from
iron. These processes depend on the
addition Of large quantities of lime or
limestone to Stag off the impurities.
Lime. having a. great affinity for phos-
phorus, seizes this element, producing
highly basic phosphate compounds or
solid solutions.-lndianap News.

CULTURE OF PEARL OYSTERS.
Decrease in Yield Leads to Artificial
Means Of Encouraging Growth.

There Is a serious decrease in the
supply of pearl oysters. For many
years these mollusks have been gath
cred so continuously and heedlessly
that many localities have been ex-
hausted, and elsewhere the yield IS
small. while prices for both Shell and
pearls are steadily rising. Hence
scientific experts have been employed
by commercial companies and by gov
ernments to discover some means Of
cultivating these mollusks, as edible
oysters are cultivated. Such experi-
ments have taken place in Australia,
Burma, in the Persian Gulf, in the
Gulf of California, and elsewhere, but
not with any great promise, except IN
Japan. There the production ofh"cut-
ture pearls'' has been going on since
1898 in the Bay or Agu, Shima
Province, where now several :suuase
miles of sea- bottom are devoted to
pearl-oyster cultivation. Here stones
are laid down in places suitable for
catching the spat, or spawn, just be-
fore the season when this is poured
into the water. Later these stones,
with the minute oysters attached to
them, are moved to places more fav-
orablel for their growth. where they
are left to develop. When of suitable
size, the workmen. large village CT
whom inhabit an island in the midst
of the beds, take them up and intro
duce between the body and the shell
OF each mollusk a bead of mother-ot-
pearl. In four years this has become
covered, except upon the side which
! touches the SHE'LL, with layers of
nacre, forming nearly globular body
called culture pearl" or blister
These products are hardly more than
hemispherical. however, as rule, and
are useful only for settings, or where
half pearls might be employed, ana
hence have far less value than natural
pearls, which are more or less perfect
ly rounded. About 100000 are pro-
duced annually. 1t has not been
found possible to produce real sphert-
cal pearls on commercial scale
