EAT MORE FRUIT
TO GAIN MAGNETISM
Special Cable 10 The Tribune.


LONDON, May 31.-An uncanny
machine, which is said to measure the
amount of "human magnetism. has
arrived in London from Paris and was
recently explained by NJ. de Kerler
to the International club for psychical
research.
It is simple mechanism, like a
gyroscope, consisting only of small
steel cylinder attached to a vertical
needle SUPPORTED bv two pivots. The
steel is not magnetized, but the whole
thing is so sensitive that breath Of
air causes the cylinder to rotate.
And in rotation lies the secret of the
machine. The right hand placed near
it causes rotation in a greater degree
than the left. This is a gratifying
discovery to people who answer the
question care you psvchic7r in the
affirmative, for they state that the right t
side OF the human body is "positivc-
!y' polarized. and the left "negative-
ly' poln-ized.
Already THE wonderful contrivance
Is said TO have established the fact
that fruitarisns have moro mesmeric
force or magnetism than meat-eaters,
for they cause the cylinder to rotate
more quickly.
"They have said M. de Kerler,
Fgrenter exteriorization Of vital
force The case of vegetarians was
not discussed.
The machine is rather reminiscent
Of the magic butterfly that used TO
iump Off our hands as schoolboys-a

a discreet inquiry conducted on the spot
into the mentality and outlook OF the

is that "the German university youth of

The writer considers that the young

is closely linked with the caste of the

restrained walk. He wears his mustache
in the same way; he bows with the same

BERLIN, May 3l.-About the quick
est possible way to lose money in
Germany is to buy a Zeppelin, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
German Airship company Just made
public. Exactly so per cent of the
S750,000 invested by the company took

TO travel by way of the clouds is
blamed not at all, for 5000 passen~
gers paid their way on the aircraft,
and, in addition, unnumbered hun
dreds of army officers were carried

The report Of the company's loss
reads not unlike the resume of a lean

banner months for sky-pilots, brought
little sunshine and much cold weather,
Fickle winds blew about the sheds and
for many days none of the big ships

item in the latest estimate Of the cost

Of the German general staff has been
studying the financial end or such q
war, and has made public his deduc-
tions. With 100000 men in the field,
he estimates that the fatherland would
spend $780, 100000 a year-more than
twice the present national debt This
stupendous figure represents nearly n

Caught in the Act.

Three burglars were captured, red
handed; one escaped by climbing the
wall and running, Of the trio captured
two were found to be policemen; one
of them, indeed, the man who did po-
lice duty eight hours day on the
beat where the mansion was located.
The newsboy glimpsed the escaping
burglar and asserted that he, too, was
Il policeman. The third prisoner was a
notorious thief.
Since the arrest of the burglar-po
licemen an investigation has revealed
that the case is by no means excep-
tional, and that the immunity from ar
rest enjoyed by many London burglars
is due to widespread alliance with the
police. Reluctantly, the Londoner is
abandoning the old custom Of notify
ing the police when he expects to take
a vacation. Instead, he is adopting
the American habit Of joining with his
neighbors in employing a watchman
The first instructions given the watch
man are to watch the police.
II has not yet been necessary TO en-
ploy someone to watch the watchman
When that time comes it is not unlike
lv that the Londoner will dispense with
his vacation altogether.
