investigate home conditions that are
reported unfit for children, and she
is perhaps more familiar with the
subject of a mans unequal fight to
maintain his home after the death of
the mother of his children than most
women.

the cooperative home proposed by
Mrs. Bishop is the only solution of a
problem that has confronted every
court in the city of Chicago, munic-
ipal and circuit.
"Such home is absolutely needed
for the laboring class of people. At
a time when a mans heart is broken
because of the death of his wife there
comes a double grief in that he has
to be separated from his children.
''It takes all the courage out of
him. Deprived of home life he drifts
to the saloon and it is almost unne-
cessary to draw picture of children
thus orphaned who could have had
the moral support of one parent at
least.
"The cooperative arrangement for
bachelors is not at all new. l know
of some young men who have suite
of three rooms in which they cook
and entertain just as they would in
their own home, and a maid comes in
during the day while they are absent
at business, washes the dishes, makes
the beds and cleans up generally so
that everything is in f1rst-class order
at night.
eff it is possible for bachelors, why
isn't it possible and much more ne

A "FIyInqo MaIady.

The doctors are puzzled concerning
strange malady that has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works, and
has in one case ended fatally. The
malady in some respects resembles
yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling its
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated. but 1t has been
suggested that the source of the trou-
BILE may be amyl acetate. which is
used as a dope" solvent Some mys-
terry attaches to the affair. the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined, in spite of close ex-
animation and analysis: and. of course.
until success Is attained In this direc-
ton no satisfactory precautions or
remedy can be devised.

Sound Waves.

Some curious facts about the effects
of the wind. temperature, moisture and
composition of the atmosphere on the
way sound waves travel through the
air and reach our ears have been
brought to light by some Investigations
which DIR. ii. Bateman, famous me-
teoroIogist. has been making.
The general influence of any wind,
1t appears. Is to reduce the audibility
of sounds. The usual greater range
of sound with the wind than against
it is ascribed to the increase of wind
velocity with altitude. which bends up
ward the sound waves travelling
against the wind and downward those
going with the wind.

Mrs. Minkler does the cooking for
her family of four. and as she isn't in
love with the science Of cookery, It's
very little in the way Of extras the
family gets. Mrs. Minkler says she
considers apple sass and molasses'

she baked pie for dinner. allowing a
quarter apiece for each member OF the
family. But while she was preparing
dinner her sister-in.law looked into the
kitchen and announced that two
cousins had come over from RushviIle
to spend the day.
"'Shuoks,' said Mrs. Minkler. Now
I'll have TO cut the pie into six pieces.
"A half hour later. two nesghbors,
Judge and Mrs. Peters called. and Mr..
Minkler asked them to stay for din
ner. to which they agreed.

Minkler. Now I'll have to cut the pie

Just as dinner was being dished up,
Who should drop in but an old bachelor

invitation to take dinner.

perated Mrs. Minkler to her sister-in-

Advantage of sIIeneer.

This crash of the bullet makes the
value of the Maxim silencer very little.
so far as military efficiency is con
cerned. in the way that the fiction
writer imagines the silencer to be use
full, but not to prevent the enemy from
discovering the position of the men
firing as many fancy.
Its value lies in the fact that it
eliminates fully half of the recoil of
the rife from the action of the gases
In its chambers. and IT gives the off,
GERS much better control over the fire,
because of the lessened noise of the
rifles II cuts down the roar of the
Springfield to about the noise of the

at the firing line Is much reduced, and
the commands of the officers can be
heard.-0uting.

A story Is going the roundD in
Washington about Secretary of the

to this story the secretary was one

replied: Il beg your pardon, Mr. Sec.
