Discover Remedy for
 Hirsute on the Head

The Bald-Head club Of America is
 determined to have all the hairless
 intellectuals of the state gathered at
 its annual meeting in Waterbury on
 May 12. The officers of the club are sending a special invitation to Presi-
 dent Angell of Yale to attend the
 banquet and bring with him all the
 bald-headed members of the Yale fac
 ulty. The Bald-Head club holds that this will be the most brilliant gather ing of men that Connecticut has ever seen, since the brainiest men are bald, and in consequence this invitation takes in the very cream of the college professors.
 The officers of the club announce that they are to present to the world
 at this years gathering for the first time a discovery of one of the clubs , members that will be the greatest boon to mankind brought forth in the l present generation. This is known as Hair Remover. one application Of which is guaranteed to remove the last vestige of hair from the head of any man who applies it. Scientists i who have been experimenting with this preparation report 100 per cent increase in the mental power of men
 who have thus been made bald, to say
 nothing of the great improvement In ! personal appearance.
 The Pathe Exchange and the ln- I ternational News have made arrange ments to secure motion pictures of the ! club in action this year for presenta ! ton in theaters all over the country.
 Capt. Irving O'Hay. soldier of for l tune, who is to give the address Of ! the evening, by way of experiment.
 tried his speech on railroad porter
 travelling between Philadelphia and New York last week. The porter be- came so hysterical that it was neces-
 sary to remove him from the train al I Newark, N. l., and take him to
 hospital. Capt. O'Hay is now engag'
 ed in putting some serious passages in the speech.

PREVENTED FRUIT
 BRANDED ASIQUOR
Haynes Now Rules That Its
 Possession Is Unlawful

Washington, May 1.-The apple, the peach, the pear. the cherry, and all other manner of fresh fruits, were added today to the prohibition rogue's gallery, alongside such culprits as the little brown jug, the cocktail shaker and the juniper berry.
 A ruling handed down by Prohibit ton Commissioner Haynes stated that hereafter it shall be unlawful to par take of fruit juices in the home that may have forgotten themselves to such an extent as to ferment. Even the possession of such unruly juices has become unlawful. the commission CT decided.
 Representative Gallivan of Massa- chusetts, one of the wet leaders in congress, waxed caustic today about Haynes new ruling. Hereafter a strictly law-abiding family. he said, will have to divide itself into day and night watches to keep an eye glued on the cut glass bowl in the center of the table. Just as soon as apples be- come googly-eyed, peach gets tipsy' or a cherry mistakes Tuesday morn Ing TOT Sdluiuds his if'' 'iie o' lage can if must go. '"Hurrah for Haynes" said the Bay State congressman in formal state ment, sent 10 newspaper offices.
 "soon little girls gathering flowers in the fields will be bait for prohibit ton enforcement officers. old-fasls toned kitchen utensils will be open to suspicion.
 Cows browsing in the fields will nc longer be tested for tuberculosis, bu' rather for alcoholic glands"
 Despite the levity with which the ruling was received, it is serious Haynes said, and the public is warned accordingly.
 Watch your cider and your grape juice.

.X.RAY EYE DETECTS GOLD PUT IN BOX
Young Spaniard Demonstrates
 Unusual Visual Ability

New York, May i.-Joaquin Maria 1 Argamasilla, spaniard. is years old, announced on his arrival to this country a few days ago that he was able 10 see through gold. silver, nickel, brass, copper and tin. The statement seemed so preposterous that no attention was paid to it and the boys entrance into this country was as unheralded as that of most visitors.
 A committee was called in to pass on the Spaniard's claims. Jules Bois, president of the French Psychical Re- search society, and Amor F. keene, mining engineer. of 42 Broadway. were two of the committee. These two men and the others. whose names are not available, admitted that they were satisfied this boy possessed the power of which he boasted.
 The tests consisted of placing ob- jects within various boxes, locking the receptacles which had previously been declared solid by the commit tee. and then having the subject of the tests tell what was within. The examination was held in the offices of Leffingwell & Scott, publicity agents. Is East Fortieth street.
 In most of the tests, printed mat ter was locked within the boxes and Argamasilla invariably pronounced in broken English the words that were on the hidden paper. NJ. Bois in one test placed a gold coin within the receptacle and Argamasilla described in detail the Liberty head stamped on it.
 Box Is Empty.
 For the last test. NJ. Bois returned to the examining room with an empty box. The subject appeared distressed for several minutes and then said that he could see nothing and that the container must hold nothing,
 Other tests were made with watch , es in gold cases. The hands were set at different hours and in each case Argamasilla called out the time re. corded.
 In order 10 perform. Argamasills covers his eyes with cotton and tie, this is not absolutely necessary but , that he is better able to see through metal if the light rays of the sun ars hidden from him. Artificial light makes it impossible for his vision tc , penetrate anything that the norma , vision does not penetrate, he says, bu he does not insist on working in thu direct sunlight. though all tests yes terday were held with the sun strik ing the objects he held in his hands
 Physical Property In Eyes. M. Bois declared that he believed |, some physical property in Argama ; silla's eyes was able to utilize th' 2 suns dark rays and 70 follow then ! through metal Tn no possible man ner, he said yesterday. ""i'ld ''''' have been any physical phenomenon guiding the subject to the cortec . reading of the printed matter, an' he was satisfied that no confederate were aiding Argamasilis.
