INITIATING A TIRE.
A Way to Test It When There 10 No
Pressure Gauge Handy.

A Way to Test It When There 10 No
Pressure Gauge Handy.
Time was when every tire manufac-
turer warned all and sundry to initiate
their tires to high degree of pressure,
and more probably than not this was
due to the fact that in those days all
pumping was done by hand and with
very inefficient implements.
The correct thing to do nowadays, of
course, is to consult standard table
of requisite pressures, according to the
size of tire and the load to be carried,
and to use this in conjunction with q
reliable gauge.
But there is also q rough and ready
method which is by no means indeter-
inmate If no pressure gauge is handy,
and that is to take the car out on to q
dry road which is in q bad state Of re-
pair and full Of holes. Preferably there
should be no passengers on the rear
seats. If the driving wheels are pumped
up too hard the driver will experience
a constant sensation of incipient skid
ding, and though he may not actually
siGe slip, he will not find the car by
any means easy to steer.
This is evidence that the tires are go
hard that they are humping over OBJ
stacles instead Of absorbing them with,
out leaving the ground.-New York

that. recalled on waking, proved to be
either commonplace or wholly mean
ingless. That is not always the case,
however. as this story, which the Rev.
Washington GLADDEN. is fond of telling,
proves.
II dreamed" says DR.. GLADDEN., that
the old house that formerly stood near
my church was still there and that old
Mr.. Deshler, who has been dead many
years. still lived in it. I also knew
that his old dog. George, who never
failed to bark at me when passed the
house. still lived. In my dream was
passing the house when the door open
ed and the old gentleman came out,
followed by George. who. as usual,
rushed barking up to me.

Dust and the Lungs.

Where there is less dust there is less
tuberculosis. This disease is respon-
sible for almost exactly One-quarter Of
all the deaths among wage earners in
this country between the ages Of fif-
teen and thirty-five It is also respon-
sible for almost exactly one out of
every three deaths that come between
the ages of twenty and forty years to
both male and female wage earners.
The death rate from tuberculosis among
agriculturists may be put at LOG per
hundred thousand. In comparison with
this the death rate from tuberculosis
among those engaged in cotton manu-
facture is 2O2; brass work, 279; copper
work, 294; glass making, 295; earthen-
ware, 1888: cutlery, $50; file making.
4O2. Other statistics might be given
showing the same thing namely, that
tuberculosis is intimately associated
with certain occupations, especially
those giving rise to dust, metallic.

Sunshine and Dust.

There is more dust in the places H.
Illuminated by the suns rays than in
those which we call shady. If you
look along beam Of light as it streams
through a window or a chink in the
door you will see innumerable dust
particles dancing about in the light.
You will be told by most persons that
there is just as much dust in the non
Illuminated parts Of the room as in the
more favored spaces. but you cannot
see the particles because the rays do
not fall directly upon them. You will
think that this is eminently plausible.
but it is not the case. The sun falling
upon the air creates irregular currents.
and these currents stir up the dust and
collect it in layers along the line of
light: hence there is more dust where
the sun shines than elsewhere.-Ex-

The Dutch differ from the Chinese in
announcing to the world the birth Of
children only in the article displayed.
The Cinnamon hang a piece of ginger
over the main entrance to the house,
while the Hollanders indicate the
event by a piece of lace, combining
with the lace a pink background for a
boy and tinsel for a girl.
The orphans of some of the cities of
Holland are quite conspicuous, and
especially so when seen on the streets
of Amsterdam, dressed in what might
be termed half and half clothing. The
east half Of boys coat, including the
sleeve, is red, while the west half is
black. The dresses of girls are divid-
ed in a similar manner, but are topped
off by becoming white caps, which
make the young misses look very neat
and attractive.
This singular style of dress Is said
to have been adopted to enable the
railroad officials, as well as the au-
thorities, to keep track Of them, says
the National Geographical Magazine.
As the orphan asylums of Holland

MORE THAN 100 CONTRACTED
 PTOMAlNE POISONING
At Banquet Given in Honor of Arch
 bishop MundeIein in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-More than 100 persons who suffered ptomaine poison ing from eating soup at a banquet given last night at the University club in honor of Archbishop George w. Mundelein of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Chicago had fully. re- covered today.
 Nearly 300 guests were present, in- cluding many prelates from various parts of the country. When the first of the guests to be stricken fell or rushed from the room there was gen eral commotion.
 Prompt first aid measures were ad- ministered by physicians present, and most of those affected soon returned to the banquet room.
 Explaining the incident, Dr. J. B. Murphy said:
 An investigation discloses the pto- maine poisoning developed in the soup served at the banquet. It was biuollon made from fresh chickens. The bouilIon was then permitted to cool and was boiled again just before being served.
 "Bouillon is the great culture medi- um in which germs grow. The germs developed while the soup was cooling and after 1t cooled. When it was re- boiled the germs were killed, but the poison thrown out by the germs was left. That is the ptomaine poison"

AUSTRIANS INVESTIGATING
 ATTACK ON PETROLITE
Before Replying to Recent Notes Of
 the United States.

Washington, Feb. ntimatf fons have reached the state department that the Austrian government has de- cided to make a complete investi- gation Of the facts connected with the attack by an Austrian submarine up- on the American tank steamer Pe- trolite before replying to recent notes of the United States@ asking an eX- quently the reply will not appear for some time, in the light of the exper- fence of tEe case of the Ancona, be- cause of the difficulty in communi- eating with the commanders of the submarines cruising in the Mediter ranean.
 From the American point of view admitting the right of the submarine commander to halt the Petrolite. even by force if she persisted in flight af- ter warning, there is absolutely no warrant in international law for his action in "requisitioning" food or other supplies from the ship. There is strong objection also as to the as sertion of the right by the Austrian submarine commander to remove a member of the crew of an American ship as was done in the case of the Petro1ite.
 Although the seaman who was held aboard the submarine as a hostage while supplies were being transferred from the Petrolite was an alien, in the view of the state department, he was just as much under the protec- tion of the American flag as any oth- CT member of the crew.

TRIBUTES TO MEMORY
 OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
Paid by Leaders of Negro Educational Work at Memorial in Carnegie Hall.

New York, Feb. 11.-Tributes to the memory and achievements of the late Booker T. Washington were paid by leaders in negro educational work at a memorial meeting held tonight at Car neige hall, under the auspices of Tus- kegee institute, which Dr. Washington established; Hampton institute and the Among Negroes. Seth Low, former mayor of New York, presided
 Major Robert R. Morton, command ant of cadets at Hampton institute and who has been elected to succeed Dr. Washington as head of Tuskegee, eu- logized the late negro leader and de- scribed his labors for the uplift of his race.
 Booker T. Washington's life and work alone would have justified Abra- ham Lincoln's idea and action regard ing emancipation" he said. Few men In the worlds history have been able to accomplish in so short a period for so large a mass of people what Dr. Washington was able to accomplish. He organized and enheartened a race, giving them a new idea of education and of life, teaching the dignity, beau ty and absolute necessity of industry and morality as fundamental in the development of any people and lead ing them to a belief in and a respect for their own race.
 Tt was a difficult embarrassing, foreboding race problem which he found. He left clear, definite, hope full race programme, the letter and spirit of which if wisely and unselfish- ly followed, will without doubt bring in the long run a happy, wholesome and satisfactory solution and an adjust ment mutually acceptable to all those who are vitally interested"

DIPLOMATIC NEGOTIATIONS
 OF VARIED CHARACTER
Will Result from Teutonic Decision
 About Armed Merchantmen.

Washington, Feb. II. - Diplomatic negotiations of various characters soon will confront the United States as the result of the expressed inten- tion of the German and Austrian gov ernments to treat armed merchant ships of the entente allies as war ves- sells after Feb. 29.
 Apparently 1t is certain, if the tenn per of the allied governments can be judged by the feelings of their diplo- matic representatives here, that any attempt by the United States to change the present rule permitting the use of American ports by merchant ships armed for defensive purposes will be met by a strong protest. Corre- spondence also is likely to follow if the United States assumes a position which coincideS with that of Germany and Austria regarding the right of submarines to sink armed ships with out warning.
 On the other hand, het United States itself may take the initiative should the entente allies impose a virtual boycott on American ports in the event of this government deciding that arm ed merchant ships entering American waters are ships of war and therefore subject to internment.
 The definite attitude of the United States toward the stated intention of Germany and Austria will be deter mined after the formal text of the notes which have been handed to Am bassador Gerard and Anl5assadeF Pen field are received from Berlin and Vienna
