Riding homeward alone Lewis meets
Aaron Burr and the British minister, An

together.
Jefferson receives word that Napoleon
Bonaparte has approved the Louisiana
Purchase. He commissions Lewis to ex-
plore the new TERRITORY.
Jefferson gives a state dinner and Of
tends some of his guests by his demo-
cratic ways Merry and the Spanish min

Burr, Merry and Yrujo conspire together
to form an empire in the western terri

Aw@-D Ia III oSu. vi I'LL
having said goodby to the man to
whose hands he had intrusted the dear
est enterprise Of all his life, he turned
back to his desk in the little office
room, and throughout the long and
heated day, following q night spent
wholly without sleep, he remained
gagged in his usual labors, which were
the heavier in his secretary's absence.
He was an old man now, but a giant
in frame, a giant in mind, a giant in
industry as well. He sat at his desk
absorbed, sleepless, with that steady
application which made possible the
enormous total Of his life's work. He
was writing in a fine, delicate hand
legible to this day-certain Of those
thousands of letters and papers which
have been given to us as the record
of his career.
In what labor was the president of
the United States engaged OF this par
ticularly eventful day? 1t seems he
found more to do with household mat
ters than with affairs Of state. He
was making careful accounts of his
French cook, his Irish coachman, his
black servants still remaining at his
country house in Virginia.
All his life Thomas Jefferson kept
itemized in absolute faithfulness a list
of all his personal expenses, even to
the g~ratuities he expended in travelling
and entertainment.
AS to the code of official etiquette
which we have seen to exist in Wash
ington, the president himself was re-
sponsible for it, for we have, written
out in his own delicate hand, the fol
lowing explicit instructions:
The families Of foreign ministers, arriv-
ing at the seat of government. receive the
first visit from those of the national min
listers, as from all other residents. Men,
bers Of the legislature and of the Judicial
ry, Independent Of their offices, have q
right as strangers to receive the first Wis
it. Nc title being admitted here, those OF
foreigners give no precedence. Difference
Of grade among the diplomatic members
gives no precedence.
At public ceremonies the government In
vites the presence of foreign ministers
ana their ramllleS. A convenient seat OF
station will be provided for them, with
any other strangers invited. and the fami-
lies of the national ministers, each taking
place as they arrive and without any pre-
cedence.
To maintain the principle of equality, or
of pellmell, and prevent the growth of
precedence out Of courtesy, the member
of the executive will practice at their own
houses n recommend an adherence to
The ancient usages of the country Of gen.
tlemen in mass giving precedence to the
ladies' In mass In passing from one apart
ment where they are assembled into an
other.
And SO on through reams and reams
Of a strange mans life records.

Grateful Shade and Pleasing Appear.
ance Well Repay All Efforts to
6eautify the city's Streets.

The planting of nut trees is some.
thing that should more generally be un-
dertaken IN country and suburban
places. Many of these trees have a
beautiful habit Of growth, will give
good shade and will add to the beauty
of any grounds. At the same time
they will produce profitable crops Of
nuts which may be a welcome addition
to the family food supply or may even
become a source of revenue.
/, The walnut is well worth consider
ing by anyone who has any available
land for tree planting. What is termed
the English walnut is beginning to be
more widely appreciated in the United
States. This tree is not. a native of
England at all, but Of Persia and
farther east. It was carried first to
southern Europe, thence to England
and laterSto America. The nuts seldom
ripen well in England, the season be-
ng too short and not warm enough. The
housewife pickles the unripe nuts.

DOUBLE AMpLFIERS ARE USED
Inventions Of Doctor Armstrong OF
Columbia University and Lee de
Forest Make Experiment at 81
Morristown, N. j., Success.

New York.-What was declared to
be the worlds first wireless dance was
held recently at Morristown, N. j., at
the home of Theodore e. Gaty. His
two ~sons-John P. and Theodore e.
Gaty, Jr., the latter home from Cornell
for the holidays-got up a dance and
throughout the evening the seven or
eight couples who had been invited
danced to music that was played on q
monograph in Highbridge. at the
northern end of Manhattan, about 40
miles away from Morristown by air
line.
Mr.. Gaty and his sons are enthusiast
tic amateurs in the science of radio
telephony and telegraph. A friend, P.
f. Cooley of Montclair, who is a radio
engineer, made use of the Lee de For
est audion detectOr and the sound
amplifier invented by DR.. Edwin II.
Armstrong of Columbia, the inven-
tons which made transcontinental tel
cphony possible, as well as a wire
less telephone message to Honolulu.
Mr.. Cooley, who is only twenty-seven
years old, adapted the two devices to
amateur use and attached them to a
monograph horn in the Gaty home.
Taken by Amateur Receiver.
The photograph that furnished the
dance music was played in the High
bridge plant of the De Forrest Radio
Telephone and Telegraph company,
and the musical sound waves were re-
ccived by the amateur receiver over
Mr.. Gnty's house.
When the faint sounds, which, COM
ing from the receiver, could scarcely
he detected by the ear, passed through
the combined sound amplifiers and
then through the megaphone they
could be heard all over the house.
To show how clearly the sound was
transmitted, Mr.. Gaty telephoned to
the De Forest company's Office at High
bridge and the operator Of the phonO-
graph listened to the ground wire tele-
phone. The music when it got back to
him by this route, he said, was even
louder than the original sounds from
the photograph. A New York Times
reporter called up Mr.. Gaty's house
aud the megaphone was placed near
the receiver at that end. The music,
transmitted about 40 miles through air
and then nearly the same distance by
ground wires, could be heard distinct
ly. The photograph vas telling how
She could "yacki hacki wicki wacki
WOO" in Honolulu.
Mr.. Gaty was enthusiastic. He said
that the operator In the De Forest
building announced the number Of
each record, its name,. and so forth
when he was about to put it on the
photograph, and that the spoken an
nouncement could be heard in every
Of the Gaty house. Mr.. Cooley,
at his home in Montclair, had not
taken the trouble to ask If the expert
ment was successful. He took it as a
matter Of fact that It should be.

THE MAN WHO SMOKES
He Consumes Much Tobacco, but Not
Nearly az Much as Man
Who CheWs.


We smoke more than three times as
many cigarettes In this country as
cigars, but we burn up twice as much
tobacco. In the cigars as in the ciga-
rettes.
A pound Of tobacco will make nearly
six times as many cigarettes as cigars.
So it seems that the man who smokes
only three cigars a day is using the
equivalent of 10 cigarettes.
Often we f1atter ourselves that the
habit Of chewing TOBACCO is passing
out, 1t isn't. More tobacco Is "cbewed'
every day than is smoked in, the shape
of. cigars, "Girard" asserts in the Phil
;adelphia Record. Indeed, chewing to-
bacco weighs almost as much us the
cigars and cigarettes together.
More cigars are made in Philadelphia
than in any other city on earth, and
our manufacturers are swamped with
work. They are many millions Of
cigars behind in filling orders. Oh, yes,
prices are going up in some directions,
SO that 1t costs more than ever before
to come within the class thus described
by Bulwer-Lytton: "The man who
smokes thinks like a sage and acts
like a Samaritan"

With two exceptions the animals re-
