Would Use Water for Fuel.

Recently an inventor attracted con-
siderable attention by claiming to have
!s2i2ted q certain green ch::c,,cal -
addition Of which to wateF would maze
the water a substitute for gasoline in
initial-combustlon engines. Now comes
another inventor with q process for
utilizing water as an automobile fuel
He points to the well-knOwn fact that
water is decOmposed into its elements,
hydrogen and oxygen, when a current
Of electricity passes through It. Hy-
drOgen mixed with air is more explo-
sive than gasoline vapor. In his pat
ented device the inventor would con-
vert part Of the power generated by
the automobile engine into electrical
energy, which he would use to decOm-
pose water. The hydrogen of the de-
composed water he proposes to use to
run the engine, securing enough sur
plus power in the cycle to drive the
car.

MUSIC NEED OF FIGHTING MEN
6lare Of Band Instruments Brings
Cheer to Troops and Is Just as
Necessary as Ammunition.

"The blare of the trombone, the
shrill note Of the piccolo and the
drums blending with other band in
struments in a military organization
give cheer to the men with the guns
and is just as necessary as ammunl-
tion," says Charles FL. Parsons of New
York. During the Spanish-American
war the tunes happily accepted were
those of the vaudeville stage. when
"Therell Be a Hot Time In the Old
Town Tonight was said to have led
troops to the capture of San Juan hill.
The old Civil war melodies having the
swing of march cadence were first Of
all, Dixie probably used, at least
hummingly, by the soldiers of the
North, as those who followed the
Stars and Bars And it is worth while
to recall that Dixie was the most
popular OF all the melodies strummed
in camp and sung in action of all the
Old-time songs during the war of 1893.
Canned music viii give to the boys
at the front much OF their entertain
ment evenings to come" added Mr..
Parsons. ''The photographic records
will cheer many groups. And they
will have programs provided by the
stars of the operate world and other
entertainers who may not give to then
their cheer first hand"

SCOTLAND YARDS NEW BOSS.

Scotland Yard would appear to be
governed in these days by a mythical
lady who always manages to keep in
the background. Several inquirers
have been informed of late that
'Dora" makes it impossible for their
requests to be granted. Dora" is
always in evidence. She won't let
you do this and she objects to that,
but always quite politely. Who is
Dora? Who is she, that bold, bad
men condemn her? The secret
leaked out recently. She is nothing
more dreadful than the official name

will seldom make more than two at
tempts to move a load. On the first
strain he will throw his whole force
into the collar, and mule can pull so
per cent more In relation to his weight
than a horse. Science is again dumb
at the question whence comes that lat
ent force which neither horse nor ass
possesses. After a short rest the mule
will make a second attempt, but this
Is seldom as sustained as the Irst. If
the load still refuses to move the team
might as well be unhltched. At times
the mules will not even exert enough
force on a third attempt to move an
empty wagon.
