Liuht and Music.

A machine designed to accompany
music with harmonious lighting eff
fects has been invented by an east
ern artist, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The instrument is In the
form of a rheostat consisting of con-
tinuous parallel loops Of resistance
wire of different lengths, each having
contact point over which passes a
metal block, completing the circuit.
The movement of the block Is con-
trolled by cable running over pulleys
operated by means of pedals. AS the
sliding block is moved back or forth
over the wires, the degree Of light
intensity is varied to suit the music,
accentuating the musical phrasings Of
the soloist or orchestra. 1t may be
played either with or without a spe-
cial written score sheet. A further
adaptation of the principle Of artistic
lighting expression through resist
ance coils Is the Illuminated phono-
graph. In this case a rheOstat Of
modified form is used and the light
intensity controlled by means of a
cam, moving In synchronism with the
record. A translucent globe incases
the record, motor, rheostat and accom-
panying lights.

Sixty Miles an Hour.

The eagle, according to aerOnautists.
is not merely the king of birds, but
in flying qualities the swiftest of all
birds. A French flyer" from the
French naval station at Salonlca in
February, 1916, had a match with an
eagle near Mount Olympus. The eagle
competed of his own free will. II was
followed by the eagle" writes Com
mander Larrowy, "at a distance Of
about 100 feet. Our machine was
making her full measure of 90
nautical miles an hour. In comparison
with US the bird seemed so perfectly
at a standstill that l was able to pho
tograph it with an exposure of u half
second, as the sky was cloudy, and
the plane gave an absolutely neat re-
production. For two minutes the bird

A Rubber Bubble City.

Manaos, In Brazil, 800 miles up the
Amazon river, was beautiful and
prosperous city ten years ago, with a
gorgeous opera house and theaters
and all the attributes Of real, live
European city. Today 1t is in ruin.
Its people have fed and Its buildings
are tottering. How did this ruinous
decline come aboutf Simply through
defiation In the price of rubber. In
1911 the effects OF rubber planting
in the Far East, Ceylon, Java, the
Straits Settlements, Malacca, Borneo,
began to be felt at Manaos. Wild rubber
took a slump. This rubber brought In
from the jungle, would not fetch enough
to pay off the loans made by the 4ner-
chants to the rubber hunters. Busi.
ness houses failed by the dozens, sui.
cides became common. trade fell OF
little by little. Now 1t amounts to
practically nothing. There is still q
little rubber coming out. but it is barely
worth its freight charges to this coun.
try or England.

HAD NOT BEEN ON HER MENU
seotswoman Might Reasonably Be Ex-
eused for Not Knowing How to
Cook the Confetti.

A travelling fair had visited the little
country town, and a fete had been ar
ranged, and flower show, and every
thing pointed to very gay day to be
enjoyed by all.
Farmers from far and near were ex-
pected to come into town, and much
trade was expected to be done by the
local tradesmen.
One Of the leading shopmen went to
the nearest city to buy supply of stuff
to sell during the fete. His wife stayed
at home to attend to the shop In his
absence.
The first thing that he bought was a
quantity of confetti He sent that home
by carter overnight, and wired to his
wife as follows:
"Am sending 100 pounds of confetti.
Watch for it."
Next day he received this wire from
his wife:

IS HISTORIC SPOT
House in Downing Street Real
Center Of British Empire.
Official Abode Of the Premier for
More Than Two Hundred Years,
and Still So Occupied.

In a London street, 100 yards long
and 20 yards wide, sometimes narrow
ing to ten yards, there Is a house that
presents. no attractions to the eye
commonplace Of the brown brick
construction of 800 years ago, dull and
darkened by time, as all old London
houses are. With Its funny-looking
lions head knocker, its old-fashioned
street door and antiQuated windows,
brick-faced, sunken area and crum-
bling railings, 1t Is indeed a belated
survivor. Transferred to London's
suburbs and divested of its fame, it
might fetch $3.50 year, not more.
Yet, says the Boston Transcript,
this house is unique among all the
houses in the werld-it has no rival
because for 200 years history and
many of history's important decisions
have been made there, and it will con-
tinue to be made there. This house
is No. 10 Downing street.
1t is the official residence of the pre-
mier for the time being. The brass
plate on the door announces ':The
First Lord Of the Treasury" 1t has
done so since Sir Robert Walpole first
entered No. 10-as that official-No-
vember 10, 1735. Since Walpole's ten
ancy so premiers have occupied No.
10, those who were great well repre-
senting the pinnacle Of British power.
No. 10 has its offices and its cele-
brated cabinet room on the first floor !;
above are the private rooms Of the
premier. The garden surrounds the
back of the house and Is high walled
on the Horse Guards parade side Of
st. James park, to which there is
access by gate, of which the premier
has the key.
The cabinet room Is handsome one,
well lighted by double-frame windows.
There are four pillars with flOriated
capitals painted white. In the center
of the room Is the famous long table
covered with green cloth, and on 1t
always a goOdly collection Of mate
rial from the stationery Office. There
Is fine assemblage Of stout mahogany
chairs with dark green leather seats.
The central chair near the fireplace Is
for the premier. The reception room
on the first floor is sometimes used for
the cabinet as more convenient.
At No. 10 were devised the policies
that led to the American Revolution,
to the War of 1872. But not always
was the resident power at No. 10 hos
tile to America. When William Pitt
occupied it he bitterly denounced the
employment by British authorities Of
Indians to massacre and murder
Americans.
And it was also a Pitt In another
period, Lord Chatham, who, going
from No. 10 to the house of lords and
in his accustomed place, swathed in
flannels, grOaning inwardly with pain,
holding stOutly to his crutch, declared,
while exhibiting intense excitement !:
"You may ravage, but you cannot con-
Quer. 1t is impossible. You cannot,
say, conquer the Americans. might
as well talk of driving them before me
with this crutch."

FEEBLE BLOOD

Guides Pepto-Mangan Makes
Red Blood; Liquid and

When blood becomes thin and weak
1t is due to a falling off In, the number
Of red blood cells. It is easily recog
nized by pallid skin or blemlshed
complexion, loss of appetite or unnat'
ural irritability and sensation ol
weakness. 1t is not dangerous at first
In fact, many people scarcely notice II
and go on for days, thinking they will
be better the next day.
The great danger is In the possibility
Of becoming seriously Ill from disease
which can work havoc In a body that
lacks the endurance and resistance In
rich, red blood.
Taken in time and steadily, a few
bottles of Guides Pepto-Mangan are a
great help. 1t improves the quality of

Swept by Wave
of Child Crime

waiting court action on charges Of
murder and manslaughter.
Juvenile courts in all big cities are
crowded with offenders. In several
cities additional judges have been as
signed to juvenile courts to clean up
the dockets.
RefOrmatOries, detention homes and
houses Of refuge to which police send
boys and girls of tender age to await
court action are crowded in all Sec
tions Of the country.
FaVors Training Camps.
AttOrney-General Daugherty has
| given the problem much consideration.
rsn memorandum to President Hard
dsng, Mr.. Daugherty suggested the es-
n adjustment of federal camps for the
ktraining of boy offenders. The citizen
ship branches of the Interior and La
'kbor departments are also studying the
problem with view to making recon-
. lamentations for reform and training
! of youthful lawbreakers. On the
Il tpossibility of diminishing child crime
Il throughout the country depends In
i great measure the nations future
standard Of citizenship, officials say.
Acknowledgement Daugherty recon.
me Aded to the President that the gov.
! Ament convert into reformatory train
ling camps for boy lawbreakers some Of
n the army cantonments. He planned to
train there the youthful offenders In
craftsmanship of various kinds and the
value of clean and upright living.
This combined course Of training In
work and ethics would make good
citizens Of many boys who come into
i collision with the police, Mr.. Daugherty
i believes Under the present system Of
sending them to penitentiaries and So
\ called reformatories little real reform
is accomplished, according to the at
torney-general, who believes many
youths finish serving their sentences
with a bitter hatred Of society which
transforms them into habitual GRIM
inals.
The increase of crime by children
now sweeping the entire country has
its counterpart in England, Germany.
France and many other countries, re-
ports show. 1t is believed to be a
direct result Of the war when hundreds
Of young boys and girls were left prac-
tically without parental guidance of
the right kind. With fathers and
older brothers away at war, mothers
in many cases could not restrain Inn
pulses of their sons and daughters,
with the result that the children sought
evil companions and were led into
criminal habits.
Many Boys Turn Bandits.
Records Of the police In New York
and other eastern cities are filed
with facts concerning the arrest of boy
burglars and bandits whose ages are
found to be but fourteen and fifteen
years. The number of offenders under
twenty years is enormous, officials say.
Data showing the exact relation be-
tween the numbers Of adult and child
lawbreakers now Is being collected
from police in many centers.
Gangs of boys are responsible for a
large number Of holdups now occurring
In big cities. police say.
Police find II difficult to cope with
child crime because in many cases the
crime represents the first attempt. II
Is the amateur burglar and footpad
who Is most difficult to arrest.
| The ease with which boy bandits are
able to obtain firearms In most cities
Is one cause Of child crime. it is as
