The kromarographe.

There has been invented in Europe
a music typewriter called the kromaro-
graphe. With the aid Of this inS'ru-
ment, il is said, the composer may
produce a typewriter scroll without
the trouble Of making the characters
nv hand All that he has to do IS to
nlace himself at the piano and give
free play to his creative fancles.
Every stroke upon the keys IS regis
tered in regular musical character
upon q drum. The machine operates
through i system Of electric contacts
with the piano keys. The registering
apparatus. which resembles an ordl-
nary typewriter in size. may, IN order
TO remove discordant sounds, be placed
at q distance from the piano, even

Safety.First Doors.

Nearly every one suffers pangs OF
anxiety when they see child leaning

against door. Soon parents Will not
need to tell their children to come
away ut once." for an automatic lock-
ing device has been designed by
member of the birmingham Dock staff
of the Great Central Railway COM
pany.
By this new invention the carriage
door automatically locks itself, and
cannot be opened when the train IS IN
motion, except by special key, which
will be in charge of the guard. This
kew will unlock the doors even when
they have been strained by intent or
accident, and when the train slows
down the doors automatically unlock
themselves.
The new device is worked from the
axle of the carriage and can be ap-
piled to single carriages.-EAchange.

Proved Value of Milk as Food.

The value of milk in the diet Is
shown impressively in an exhibit OF
two stuffed rats prepared by the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture
The rats were of the same age, and
we're selected from two cages OF SIX
rats each. The rat which had its

milk displayed healthy tissues, mus
cles and bone. and was marked DT
smooth hair, bright eyes and good
color. The protein Of the milk Eullds

cially lime. produces strong bones, ana

stituents had weak, gelatinous bones,
thin muscles and small growth. Both
rats he'd wheat biscuits. On Marcn

increased to 5425 grams, but the

FATAL FLAW n HER BLUFF
nilatery Young Woman Had over
Looked One. Important Point, and
sc Spotted thefWhols Thing:

She had just discovered e new way
to AK her hair, g. way that took at
least half an hour longer than usual,
and the result was that she was un-
usually late that morning. Ale the
way down on the car she cudgeled
her brain for a satisfactory excuse,
but all the stock phrases sounded too
weak, so she finally gave up in de-
spair. Halfway down, however, she
saw two fre-rnined houses with one
lone hose wagon standing in front and
aefowd of curious visitors gazing at
the wreck. "Ah!" she thought, this
Is a good enough excuse for anyone z
Arriving at the office, She did not
even give the boss time to comment
On her late arrival but burst excited
ly in the room crying: "Oh, ! saw
the biggest fire! Two or three houses
were burned down clear to Che ground
and the people were standing around,
and the hose was across the track,

ineradnlous look on the boss face she
elaborated the story until one would
think it was second Chicago FIRE.
At last when she stopped for breath.
and started TO take her hat off with
ssls-satisaed, well-fooled7'em look, the
boss picked up the morning paper and
quietly said: "Yes, that happened

that radio messages have been re-

Grover Cleveland.

sion of congress for the purpose OF
having it repeal the Silver act OF the
Harrison administration. The next day
he submitted himself to the surgeons
knife for the removal Of cancerous
ulcer which had appeared in the roof
Of his mouth. His grave physical con-
dition was concealed from the panicky
mind of the public, and the operation
was performed II the closest secrecy
aboard a yacht as it steamed slowly up
the East River, off New York. Not un-
Ill many years had passed was It
known that WREN congress assembled
ne faced it with rubber jaw.
Under the pressure of the president,
the Silver act was repealed, but only
after bitter struggle which left the
Democratic party hopelessly split. The
passage of tariff bill divided the par
fy still more. It was such a lobby
made, log-rolling measure that Cleve'
land refused to sign it, but let it be-
come law without his signature. After
that the Democrats went down in de-
feat in the congressional elections of
1894.
In the depth of our domestic
troubles the president sent his famous
Venezuelan message to congress. In
it he announced that the British gov
ernment had rejected all our appeals
for the arbitration of land dispute
which it was pressing in South Amer
lea, and he boldly proposed that we
ourselves should decide the question
and then proceed to enforce our de-
cision.
Stocks tumbled headlong in Lon
don and New York, and there was
much wild talk on both Nides Of the
Atlantic. But the president confidently
reassured his troubled priJ rate secre-
tary, "ThU'ber, this does not mean
war; it means arbitration" AID that
was the outcome Of all the hubbub.
CIeveland's outburst of plain speaking
had the effect of awakening the Eng
lish people, as never before, to the val
ne of American friendship, and it
opened q new era in the relations OF
the two governments.
Cleveland's hardest, longest battle In
his second administration was for the
gold standard. Almost alone he upheld
It through four years, abandoned by
nest of the Democrats and unaided by
the gold Republicans in congress, WHO
were afraid of hurting the parry
~ith the silver people. ---------,

Richard Fairbanks of Boston Ar-
pointed by Massachusetts, Gen.
crai Court in That Year.

The first account of the formal es-
tabliShment OF postmaster IS found
in the records of the general court or
Massachusetts. by which, in 1853, 1t
was 'ordered that notice be given that
Richard Fairbanks. his house in Bos-
ton is the place appointed for all let
terS which are brought from beyond
the seas or are to be sent thither to
be left with him and he is TO take
care that they are to be delivered or
sent according to his direction. And
he is allowed for every letter a penny
and must answer all miscarrla@es
through his own neglect in this
kind"
In May. 1903, by an act Of the gen
eral assembly it was provided that a
general post Office may be erected by
Andrew Hamilton at Philadelphia
and that Andrew Hamilton "or some
other as shall be appointed by the
king should be postmaster general
"in these parts and his deputy or dep
uties in that Office should demand, re-

to appoint all deputy postmasters.
In 1871 Benjamin Franklin was ap-

own newspaper in these words: No

TURK LOSING HOLD In EUROPE
Vast Empire Once Under the Crescent

Those who were in hopes that Tur-
KEY might take herself, bag and bag

by looking at the map, says the
Christian Science Monitor. The chart
of the Ottoman empire as it has eA-
isted since 1856 presents, indeed, a
hopeful sight. The empire slowly and
surely has been going back to 1lrSt
things. The crumbling began in l699
when Pennsylvania, Slovakia and a
chunk Of Poland and Hungary were
lost. The Banat went in l7l1, the
Bukowina in 1775, the Taurida and the
!, Crimea in 1888, and the Odessa dis
trict in 1892 The-neXt century was
even more disastrous for Turkey, VINO
lost Bessarabia in 1872, part OF

more of Serbia in 1878. Tunlsla and

In 1882. Nor has the present century

annexation by Austria in 1908 Eot
Bosnia and Herzegovina 1913 proved
particularly unfortunate for the Turks

CHANGE MADE FOR TOURISTS
Pictures in Museum of the Louvre
standardized" With Idea OF
Pleasing Americans.

Even that sedate, historic pile, the
Museum Of the Louvre, has not es-
caped the effects Of the preparation
which all Paris has been undergoing
for the reception Of the American tour
ist. 1t was decided some time ago
that the old method Of hanging the
pictures according to their merits and
according to the lighting effect de-
sired was too haphaZard and too prone
to confuse the visitor who was un1a-
miliar with the old works, their period
and school. Some one suggested
Standardization" There was howl
from the French press, which shrank
from the thought Of touching even a
picture cord in the famous gallery, but
the thought was advanced that II the
coming thousands of American visit
ors to Paris were to properly enjoy
the pictures they should be properly
classified according to their period ana
school. This has been done, and now
one passes through the big rooms as
one might a department store. Here
are works of the early Italian paint
ers, here those Of the Italian renalS-
sance there those Of the early Flem-
ish school and there the products OF
early Spanish genius. The Louvre,
of course, is a sacred rite. Now it's a
rite simplified, standardized and some
what stereotyped. Some pictures
which require strong light are almost
in the dark, and others which would
benefit by a somber surrounding sui
fer q glare. The guide calls this
"systeme American" Despite it the
Louvre remains a rare treat.--World

he did not have ticket calling fer

that he lived in Pasadena, Cal, with
