Sounds Travel Through Fog.

1t has often been noticed that on
wet and foggy days sounds are heard
At greater distance than en- clear,
Inc days. 1t was Tyndall who ex.
planned the reason for this. He no.
Iced that the distance at which the
sounds of fog horns, whistles, shots
could be heard varied from day to day
from two to twelve miles. The cause
If this difference is found in the de-
gree of homogeneity of the air
On foggy or snowy day the air
may be perfectly homogeneous; this
permits sound to travel a great dis.
ance. In clear weather the air may
)e composed of vertical layers of diff.
ering consistency, and the sound
waves are reflected from the surfaces
the layers. Probably they are also
efracted in passing through the sew
raj layers. Currents of warm ascend
ng air form in one place and currents
If cold descending air form in others.

CAT AS A SNAKE CHARMER
Pussy's Fascination of Deadly Ser
pent Proved But Not Absolutely
Accounted For. ~'

Stories of fascination by snakes are
common, but from India comes the
opposite in an account Of how cat
may exercise such hypnotic power
over a deadly serpent as to deprive
1t of all power of action.
A gentleman who has lived forty-six
years, as he says, in India, relates to
a writer in the Field that twice his
life has been saved by cat. On one
occasion, he says, he walked on to
the veranda of his house and actually
trod on a cobra that was sitting up
ready to strike. Expecting every In
slant to feel its fangs, he wondered at
the delay in the deadly stroke, when,
CHANGING behind him, he saw his cat
crouchlng and gazing intently at the
reptile with mesmeric effect, which
seemed to render it unable to move,
so that he killed it easily.
Another time, when sleeping in a
cot on this veranda, he awoke to hnd
on one side of the bed huge cobra,
with head erect, and on the other side
his cat, its glistening green eyes blaz-
Ing at tho snake. The man crawled
out of his covering, got gun, and
even poked at tho cobra, which had
remained as immovable as stuffed
specimen. Wishing to test the phe-
nomenon, he placed his hand in front
of the eyes of the cat whereupon the
snake Immediately showed signs OF
life and activity, but when the hand
was removed, fell instantly into mes
meric 6xity of attitude. Then 1t was
killed.
Granting the facts, how much was
the effect upon the snake due to hyp-
notism, and how much to paralyzing
fear of an ancient enemy, rendering
1t forgetful of everything else in its
intense watchfulness of recognized
danger?

HERE'S THE HYGlENlc HOME
English inventor Declares Houses
Built Of Porcelain Would Make
ideal Habitations.

A home of porcelain, that can be
erected with screwdriver and wrench
in few hours, is the plan of w. Hales
Turner, who calls himself "the pioneer
of porcelain" and who has explained
o a London Daily Mirror reporter
some details of his project.
On the construction of the porcelain
house." he said, there IL complete
absence OF all absorbent materials,
such as bricks and mortar, plaster,
ghitewash, concrete, woodwork and
paper. The complete porcelain house
5 constructed as follows Framework,
preferably of light rust-proof metal.
n this framework are fitted the huge
porcelain panels, half an inch thick.
} feet long and feet wide, weighing
! pounds to the superficial foot, deco
rated and glazed on both sides to re-
list wind, storm and weather, with
;team-tight joints made of copper
coated asbestos tape.
Porcelain is non-absorhent, insect
and germ proof and washable, and il
makes possible for all perfectly n.y.
ylenic home. AS for warmth-an inch
.hick wall of pure porcelain glazed
both sides is better able TO keep out
;old than an 1S-inch brick wall. With
bricks and mortar it takes months to
rect a house of, say, five rooms; a
porcelain house of the same size can
)e put up in few hours"

John D. Archbold's Idea Of What He

Obituary.

John d. Archbold, at luncheon that
'ollowed the launching of the John-D d.
Archbold oil tanker at Newport News,
talked in an interesting reminiscent
vein about newspapers
Certain inaccuracies have appeared
about me in newspapers" he said, "but

them-tried, even, to turn them to
good account.
"0ne OF these inaccuracies was a
long obituary that a certain paper

aid mildly:

Change for the Better.

Hereafter the women in the peni-
Tertiary at Blackwell's island will
wear pretty gray and white seersucker
instead of the heavy bed ticking that
has been in vogue because required by
the. law. Mrs. Katherine Bement Da-
Wis, commissioner of corrections, made
up her mind that the heavy ticking
must go. She found men washing the
women's dresses and the women them
selves with so little to do that they
were miserable Now they will wash
their own dresses and they will also
make them. A teacher from Teachers
college will go to the penitentiry and
teach the women how to sew, and the
women are greatly pleased over tho
plans for their good.

AnthropoIoaIoaI Conclusions.

In a recent lecture before the Royal
institute in London Prof Arthur
Keith, in an anthrcpological study,
gave it as his opinion that Shake
peare was a descendant of the bronze
age invaders, the true or round head
.eople. This was a remarkable fact,
the professor aided, for it was this
same short-headed stock, spread
abroad in central Europe, throughout
Germany, France and Italy, which has
produced the worlds finest artists.
5urns, he said, on the contrary, was a
good representative Of the long-headed
type of man. His skull was very broad
and OF excessive length, and appeared

resented an ancient type.

The Humility FaIIacy

Humility, as a virtue, is fast dis
appearing, and that's a very good
thing" said Mayor Rolph In San Fran
CISCO.
"Our fathers used to preach humility
to us-respect for our superiors, con-
tentment with our humble station, and
so forth.
He who is down need fear no fall
humility exponent said to me, sol
EMMY, one day.
"'Quite right said I, but he's sure
to get sat on and walked over.'"
Effect Of Colors.
The stout woman should know that
yellow increases her natural size.
Satin also makes her look bigger.
Blue is a slightly enlarging tone;
white is stationary. Black, seal brown,
navy blue and the deepest of Grim
sons are all tones that make the wear
er look Simmer.

The Swiss republic is fast becoming
one of the great money powers of the
world. 1t is estimated that 20 Swiss

that 1t is due largely to steady mi

General Villa, like most of his coun-
trymen, has fancy for -brimmed
hats. An American who served for
some years as secretary of a Mexican
corporation, says that the Mexicans
possess a special weakness for hats
of the cartwheel type. 1t is by no
means unusual in Mexico to see a
man wearing a hat worth $50 or $35,
while his suit is not worth a dime. In

enacted imposing fine of $40 on every

WHAT NEURASTHENIAI IS

Neurasthenia Is . condition of exhaus- ton of the nervous system. The causes are varied. Continuous work, mental or physical, without proper vacation periods, without proper attention to diet and ex- ercise, also worry over the struggle fof success, are the most common causes:' Excesses of almost any kind may prot duce it. Some diseases, like the FTP, will cause neurasthenia. So also will severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
 The symptoms are sensitiveness, lrritability, g. disposition to worry 'over trifles, headacheg possibly nausea.
 The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholfc tonic... As the nerves get their nourish, ment from the blood the treatment must be directed toward Building up the blood. Dr..

PLENTY OF MUSIC
 ON kEENEY PROGRAM

Vaudeville and moving picture lovers who attended any of the per- fornances at Keeney's yesterday spoke in an appreciative vein of the atmospheric conditions in the theater, which the ventilating plant now in operation has improved so to such a remarkable degree. It was cooler in the theater than outside and the audi ence had the appearance of being as comfortable as could be. The mer- cury in the thermometer at the en- trance registered sixty degrees all day The theater is kept free from impure air by the huge suction fans near the roof and the temperature is kept uni- form at all times.
 The temperature is not the only thing about the popular playhouse which has appealing features. There Is a good vaudeville show. up-to-the-m -min- ute in every particular.
 Music Is the chief characteristic of the program, practically every num- Der having either vocal or instrume en- tai selections for features. Tn the act of Sims and his eight honeysuckles, coontown melodies and the latest rags" are featured. The people in this troupe are good singers and dancers and they give an entertain ment that Is pleasing in every respect
 Mond and Salle offer a novel "girl'' act. They are a pair of clever female i,npersonators and until the climax of their act they carry out the decep- tion with ease. Besides making up skil1fully as girls. the young men through their peculiar voices are able to fool the audience with their sing ing and their sex is not suspected un- til they remove their wigs at the close.
 Lambert and Perry, juvenile com edians entertain pleasingly. The Edwards does some novel shadow graphing and Tinsman and Tnsman, comedy acrobats provide plenty of fun while they bump the bmps.''

PLENTY OF GOOD FUN AT LYCEUM THIS WEEK

s
 Nam 'selie," the comedy novelty, which has made such a tremendous hit at the Lyceum this week, is at- tracting large crowds. The popu- larity of the attraction lies in a large measure, in the vaudeville sketches by the members of the company. MT. Locke is adding new laurels to an already well earned reputation in his presentation of comedy sketch, in- cluding some soft shoe dancing. The attraction Is liked because 1t Is so different from anything yet offered by the management. There will be a matinee performance Thursday after noon. .* F.
 For the closing week of the season Manager Birch has selected an es- pecially strong bill. It will be The Belle of Richmond" In this weeks bill Miss Hutchins the new leading lady. is winning host of friends among the theatergoers of New Brit ain. The next attraction is an ex- ceptionally congenial one for an &C., tress of her talents. Miss Hutchins will assume the role of the belle. Beautiful and of most pleasing per sonality, the belle of Richmond be- comes the center round whom a powerful melodrarnatic plot is writ ten. Ardent lovers pay her devoted attention. There are plots and in- trigues constructed round the love story and 1t goes to make up.a most entertaining play.

pale tints is equally charming on negligee. Stiff ribbon should never be used, but knots or bows should nestle among the laces.
 Gifts Include Corset Bags.
 Nightgown cases. slipper bags, cor set bags and boudoir pillows come under the list of dainty handmade gifts suitable for the bride. Sheer linen, fine batiste or the popular or- gandie, if used with motifs of real filet or Venetian lace, lined with pale silk and finished with cluster of the ribbon flowers, make the loveliest of remembrances. s
 Giving things in pairs or sets is quite the thing. Satin or taffeta slip pers, combined with garters and cap, make a charming trio, or garters of pleated lace and flat flower clusters to send with mule sandals of plain ma terial, finished around the top with a pleated frill of lace.
 Another idea that appeals to bride no matter how many she may have already-is embodied in a set of coat hangers, four or six slipper trees and a chintz covered hat box, large and round, for the guest room closet.

They are trimmed with real valenciennes and narrow filet or with effective irni- tations of these same laces. Gener- ous bows of wash ribbon should be used as a finishing touch.
 Petticoats, too, make charming gifts; and, as they require only a bit of material, they can, with little ingenuity and the use of fine, laces and ribbons, be evolved into dreams of loveliness. ....s ...

 The draped bodice is essentially fash ionable just now and this one is unusually graceful. The plain left front gives a slender effect to the figure, too, and altogether the lines are of the best. The dropping shoulders are really essential to the present. styles and these sleeves that are joined to the bodice on that line are just full enough to be pretty. In the illustration, broche crepe is combined with plain chiffon and plain satin, but waists of this kind are made from all the pretty, soft materials, chiffon cloth and marquisette4 as well as the silks. satins and crepes, while even velvet is supple enough to be treated in this way. Rodnd and high. necks are equally fash ionable, three-quarter and long sleeves, and this pattern, which provides for all, is doubly useful. The fitted lining keeps the waist in place while the drapery pro- vides folds and gives the sense of loose ness thatis feature of prevailing fashions.
