Pullman Berths
to be Made Wider
Patent Rights Are Obtained on De-
vice, Giving Full Sized Beds
in Compartment Coaches.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-The Pullman
Company has just become possessed
of the patent right of new device
for the purpose of making berths
wider.
In compartment cars where there
is a separate passageway through the
car outside the compartments there
is no objection to using the aisle for
extending the berths and some of the
compartment sleeping cars are equip
ped with a device for this purpose.
The seat ends are hinged so that
they can be swung down and sup
ported by an angle brace and form a
horizontal extension of the seat. When
two seats are pulled out, as is ordin-
arily done on making up the lower
berth, a filler is placed between the
two ends after they have been low
cred, thus forming a fun size bed.

RUSSIA SEEKING
u. s. FRIENDSHIP
IN NEW TREATY
Renewal of Pact Abrogated by
Congress Is Proposed by
Diplomats of Gar.
JEWISH QUESTION RISES
Washington Is Silent, but Under
standing Is That Bryan Is Will
ing to Renew Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Russia
has asked the United States Govern
ment to take up the question of a re-
newal of a treaty of amity and com
merce. The treaty of 1882 on that
subject was abrogated out of hand by
the Congress of the United States.
Secretary of State Bryan said to-
day that the question of renewing ne
gotiations had been discussed with
the President, but that there was
nothing yet to state in the way Of de-
tail
1t has been stated to Russia, how
ever that the United States is willing
to resume negotiations which had
been commenced during the admins
tration of the office of Secretary of
State by Mr. Knox
Two Diplomats Suggested.
The President is soon to appoint an
Ambassador to the Court of St. Pc
tersburg and the report is that a Sc
lection win be made between Charles
R. Crane and Frederick Penfield, Of
Philadelphia and New York
The administration will have 20
meet the question of the Jewish pass
port and the recognition Of the Jews
as American citizens without regard
to race or religion in the new negotia-
tions. 1t is we'll known that Russia
was anxious to renew negotiations
very soon after the affront TO the
Jewish race under the old treaty or by
Russia's construction of the old treaty
was wiped out by the joint resolution
OF Congress witch abrogated the
treaty of 1882. This action of Con-
gress was unequivocally an act 10
rebuke Russia for her treatment Of
the Jews generally and specifically
for her continued refusal to recognize
passports issued TO Jews.
Knox Charges Discrimination.
Secretary of State Knox held that
the question of Jews should not enter
into the matter at all, and that the
real question was that the treaty OF
1882 Disseminated against American
citizens.
1t was stated during the last admin
stration that Russia was trying TO
separate the Jewish passport question
from all other questions which would
enter into a treaty of amity and COM
merce. such as is made with all en-
lightened nations.
The statement was made at the
f-4y. too
frowned on this none too subtle sug-
gestion of Russia and held that there
should be no treaty except one that
would do full justice to all Americans
Jews Irish, English. Germans-no
matter what their origin II they were
citizens of the United States.
White House Silent.
The State Department at that time
knew that If a treaty was sent to
the Senate which did not include a
solution of the passport question It
could not be ratified 1t is said that
the present administration under
stands the situation thoroughly and
will endeavor to get a treaty which
will cover all American interests IA
vorably or none at all.
At the White House no expression
of opinion is yet obtainable from any
official rejecting the views Of the
President. There is no question. how
ever, that the Ambassador to be ap
pointed by the President will be fully
instructed on the passport question
before he goes to st. Petersburg.

death tribute to tuberculosis.
Professor Landouzy has shown that
Of 100 deaths of postal employees in

1903 the percentage rose to II, in 1904
10 q, and it is to-day estimated at

II is stated that the scourge is
spreading rapidly, owing to the lack

fact that the Offices are scarcely ever

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR

AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dam
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura 0int-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t Is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month Is generally
sufficient for this special treatment

MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody is Slightly
Color Blind.

The various tests for color blind
ness have come into practical use in
the examination of railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dis
tinguish colors is necessary, so that
these tests are mo longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But it is not gener-
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody Is partially color blind
that is, in certain parts of the field or
vision. The most normal individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. If looked at
from an angle Of about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but in their places will appear shades
Of yellow or blue. This region OF the
eyes is known as the yelloWbl blue zone.
If the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen.
This region is known as the zone of
complete color blindness An inter
esting theory in regard to these zones
is that every normal eye represents
three stages Of evolution. The zone
of complete color blindness is the low
est stage, and appears in such ami
mails as the frog, whose vision is
known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone is one step higher in the
scale, although not clearly marked
off in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution
Cases of color blindness are, accord
ing to this theory, lack of develon
ment beyond the early stage Of indi
vidual life.-Strand Magazine,
