TEMPERED COPPER.
Metal Experts Say 1t Never Was Made
and Never VIII Be.

Science and even the ordinary prog
ress in the arts and crafts are each
iconoclasts in their way-that is. they
tear down and destroy ideals long pos
Just now it is that delightful old claim
that the ancientS knew how to temper
copper to the hardness of steel.
For years this has been general be.
lief, and many story and not few
serious articles have been written de.
scribing how the men of the period just
following the stone age used to mine
copper and by secret process temper
it and make wonderful knives and 9TH
er weapons and tools from it. 1t was
called "lOst art"
But now not only scientists, but skill
ed craftsmen in metals come forward
and declare the ancients never temper
ed copper, and their reason for making
this declaration is that copper does not
possess the properties that will enable
it to be hardened by any process what
ever.
ut is safe to declare" states one eX.
pert, writing for mining publication
that copper has never been tempered
at any time by any one. as it does not
possess the necessary properties. Cop
per can be hardened in Il number of
ways, the easiest being to plunge the
finished article into molten antimony
or arsenic. The resulting alloy formed
on the surface is exceedingly hard and
brittle. Recent research in Mexico has
shown that the tools there supposed to
be made of hard copper We're made by
smelling mixed ores of copper, nickel
and cobalt. The resulting alloy was
naturally hard. None of these old tools
are Of a quality equal to those which
can now be made."-New York Ameri- !

woshino4on's Horses.

General Washington was splendid
horseman. There was no animal he
could not master. and he never lost his
seat in the saddle. Fox hunting was
one of his favorite amusements, and
at the meet few Of his friends or neigh
bors were better mounted than he.
He usually rode large. fiery animal
of great endurance called Blueskin. The
names of some Of his other horses were
Chinkling, Valiant. Ajax and Magnolia.
The names of his hunting dogs were
Vulcan, Ringwood. Singer. Truelove,
Music, Sweetlips. Forester and Rock
wood. During the season he hunted
two or three times week. His pleas
ure was not the find. but the hunt, for
he admits in his diary that the foxes
nearly always escaped. but the main
end in view. excitement and recreation.

An ingenious implement for Sitting
ashes is the ash sitting shovel design.
ed by New York man and shown
herewith As will be understood BY
the name, it performs two operations
practically simultaneously. The scoop
Of the shovel, which is unusually ca
pacious, is mcshed and bound in iron
strips. In the back is series of
sharp tOothed wheels, projecting
lslightly through slots in the bottom
of the scoop, so that when the latter
is passed over supporting surface
the wheels revolve and cut the larger
clnders into pieces small enough to
fall through the mesh. Good coal
will be too hard to break up in this
way. Therefore as man takes a
shovelful of ashes from the heater he
need only turn to an ash box with
strip on top. on which to operate the
wheels, and pass the shovel across
this once or twice.

ORCHESTRA AFFORDS
TREAT TO MUSIC LOVERS
Philadelphia Organization. Lead by
Leopold Stokowski. with Mischa
Elman, Pleases Audience.

The Philadelphia Orchestra, Leopold
Stokowski conductor. gave the third and
last concert of its series for this season
yesterday afternoon at the New National
Theater. Mischa Elman. violinist, was
the solo artist of the performance The
program opened with the incidental
music TO Mendelssohn's Midsummer
Nights Dream" the overture, nocturne
and scherzo. The overture was beauti-
fully rendered. The French horn solo
that begins the "nocturnc" however. was
not only faulty by reason OF all lack Of
shading. but for want of more perfect
legato. The scherzo was, for perfection
OF performance, indispensable.
The orchestral program ended with
Tchaikowsky's symphony, the "Pathet-
ique, No. g." Work Of this highly dram
attic type gives Mr.. Stokowski his highest
opportunity. To this work he gave ideal
expression yesterday. The sudden changes
of dynamics, the urgent working up of
passionate feeling to stormy climaxes.
the tender or pathetic contrasting pas
sages, the clear moving of theme against
theme, the perfect legierro of the open
ing melody Of the third movement, and
the skillfuI management of the fiye-four
rhythm of the second; these are only a
few of the technical details that con-
tributed to a mastery performance of the
yesterday.
Praise of Mischa Elman seems a super
huous impertinence- Such playing as his
makes great the b Minor Concerto of
in itself more conspicuous
foI brilliance and formal beauty than for
great depth OF thought or passion. Mr..
Elman was recalled half dozen times,
to which he responded with his char
acteristic series of brisk, short bows.

HUERTA, AFTER DRUNKEN DEBAUCH WITH JAPANESE
OFFICERS, ORDERS FORMER ADVISER TO BE SHOT

Then the officer returned and waited
until Huerta awoke.

news to report" he faltered. "Urutia
cannot be found and i have been unable
to carry out your orders"
my orders? Why. what did you intend
to do to my friend Urutia?'
you ordered me to shoot him."
''Wha-a-ati" shrieked Huerta, eff you

Never, never take my orders when l am
drunk"
Eyes, my president, I will remember II
In the future" said the officer saluting.
The other day an American citizen to
whom the government owes 10000 pesos
for army uniforms talked too openly
about the failure Of the authorities to
pay him and was arrested and threatened
with expulsion.
In an attempt to secure the release Of
the prisoner the American consul general.
Mr.. Shanklln. searched the city for the
dictator.
He finally found Huerta behind the
scenes In a theater with a painted-actress
in tights and short skirts on each knee
and another actress, with her arms
around his neck, plying him with brandy.
When the consul general entered
Huerta laughingiy pushed the women
from him and ordered them to retire
Then ne listened to the plea for the
American prisoner. signed a card order
ing his immediate release and at once
called the actresses back to him.

GUARD FOR EMBASSY
IN MEXICO PROPOSED
Government Officials Are Considering
Sending Marines to U. S. Lesa-
ton in Case of Trouble.
POWERS TO ASSEMBLE FORCES

Proposals TO send to Mexico City a
marine force Of sufficient strength to en-
able the American Embassy to dominate
the situation in a military way as far as
the legation guards Of other nationalities
are concerned are receiving consideration
by the administration
Naval officers are in favor OF sending a
force OF 1000 marines. In army circles IL
is felt that either 5000 men or more
should be sent. State Department Off
ton guard in Mexico City shrink at such
a large number as LOCO.
The State Department has infOrma-
ton that the German commander in
Mexican waters is preparing TO send
guns and an ununiformed marine guard
TO Mexico City. The Japanese already
have a small marine guard at their
legation. and the British have sent
machine guns TO their legation, while
IL is reported that the French govern
ment is to send a small guard
The matter has been postponed for
the present in view of the cOncentra-
tion of the attention Of the State De-
partment upon Northern Mexico rather
than upon the situation at Mexico city.
The action, IL taken, is not to be re-
garded as especially significant, say mil
itary officers. nor as indicating any new
Intentions upon the part Of the admins
tration in its policy toward Mexico. The
measure is being urged for the same
reasons that marine and army forces of
the United States arc today being kept
in Pekin. for fear that the situation
may get beyond the control of the new
government

SENATE AT ODDS over
PARCEL POST PROVISO
Adjourns with Point of Order Unde-
cided in Discussion of Appro-
priation Bill.
MAY VOTE ON MEASURE TODAY

The Senate yesterday considered the
annual Postoffice appropriation bill and
was moving smoothly along toward the
passage of this, the biggest money bill
OF the annual schedule of appropriations,
when it found itself emmeshed in a leg
islative tangle which left II at the close
Of the days business still in the midst
OF the muddle.
There has been inserted in the bill by
the Senate a provision prohibiting the
Postmaster General changing rates or
weights in the parcel post system. The
amendment to the House bill which Is
known as the Bankhead-Bryan amend
ment is highly unsatisfactory to friends
of the parcel post in Congress.
Senator Poindexter, Of Washington.
took occasion to rebuke the Postoffice
Committee of the Senate for endeavoring
to force the amendment into the bill.
The point of order was made against
the Bankhead-Bryan proviso that II con-
stituted new legislation. This Senators
Bryan and Bankhead denied with en-
phasis. In the course OF the debate on
the point of order Senator Bankhead
digressed into the merits of the amend
ment itself
Senator Bristow got into the argument
lcng enough to tell the Senate that
through the disguise of the special parcel
post stamps by the present administra-
tion of the Postoffice Department, II
was now impossible to segregate parcel
post receipts from the other sources of
Postoffice Department income. The Post
office appropriation bill remains the I'M
finished business of the Senate and
point of order still undecided will come
to a vote at today's session.

Dictator Sobers. However, Before His
Command to Kill Friend Is.
Carried Out.

New York, Feb. N.-James Creelman.
under date of Mexico City. in tonights
Evening Mail, tells the following story
about Huerta:
On the night of Huerta's banquet to
the Japanese officers In the Cafe Colon
the, dictator had a group of shameless
women dance for his guests and by
o'clock In the morning he was blind drunk
and had to be assisted to a bed up
stairs
This establishment is one Of the most
disreputable places in Mexico City. 1t
has a gambling hell and is a meeting
ground for immoral women.
Huerta has actually established a Presi-
dental office in this resort. where he
transacts public business. and II Is a fact
that he has compelled his Cabinet TO hold
several meetings there.
When he reached his bed after the
Japanese debauch, the dictator called one
of his oficers to him and said:
I'm sick OF this -, Dr. Urutia (for-
merly his Minister Of the Interior, and
his closest adviser), and I want you to
md him at once, shoot him and report to
me-"
Whereupon the drunken despot rolled
over and went to sleep.
DIR. Urutia was at once warned of his
peril and went into hiding.

MISSES wilson TAKE
PART IN bird MASQUE'
Miss Margaret Sings and Miss Eleanor
Again Appears as "Ornis,"
the Bird Spirit.
HAVE DISTINGUISHED AUDIENCE

New York, Feb. 2L-In the presence of q
large and fashionable audience and un-
der most distinguished patronage, headed
by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
President of the United States, Percy
Macksye's Bird Masque' was given in
the ball room OF the Hotel Astor this
evening.
The masGue was written for the dedi-
cation of the bird sanctuary of the Mer-
iden Bird Club last summer. More than
ordinary interest attached to the per-
formRnce tonight, which was literally
by the same cast as last summer, be-
cause Of the appearance of Miss Eleanor
Wilson as ornis, the bird spirit, and the
rendering of incidental songs by Miss
Margaret Woodrow Wilson.
This was the first time that a New
York audience had enjoyed a spectacle
in which two daughters of a President
took parts.
Mrs. Wilson was unable to be present
