FORMER QUEEN.
Of SAX0NY IS
DESTITUTE
Louise Makes Her Living IN
Brussels by PeddIing
Embroidery.

BRUSSELS. Jan. 22.-fhe pitiable
plight to which former Queen Louise
of Saxony has been reduced is re-
vealed by an interview with her by
representative of the Brussels
newspaper, Vingtieme Steele. The
former Queen, who goes under the
name Of Countess Dysette. has been
living in Brussels suburb twelve
years in a state bordering on destitu.
ton. She is fifty.
The countess, separated from her
husband, Tosselli, the noted violinist
and composer of Tossellfs "Sere-1
nata," with whom she eloped some
twenty years ago, told her inter-
viewer that she depends for a living
on the charitable help of a few gem
erous Belgian women, the sale Of
her own embroidery work, which
she peddles from door to door, and
small pension from her first hus-
band, the former King Frederick of
Saxony, which, payable in marks,
amounts to only q few cents.
Louise had to send away her SER
want, although the latter was willing
to stay without wages, because
means could not be found to feed
her, and now the former Queen does
all her own work. Gradually she
has sold her valuable possessions,
and today she has only few small
pieces Of furniture.

ELEPHANTS, LION AND
BEAR SWEPT UP

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.--If all the
things the Sanitary Bureau of the
Department of Health gathered
from the streets of New York city
in 1922, according to belated re-
ports for that year, were in good
working order and assembled in
one peice there would be the nu-
cleus for a good menagerie. The
report shows that the bureau
dragged up the bodies of one bear,
one alligator, one lion, two camels,
three elephants, one deer, 5,697
horses, 308 cattle. 16 ponies, II
colts, 8 mules, donkeys, 254,803
cats, 4,53S dogs, TAI calves. 375
sheep, S45 goats, as hogs and 8
seals.
The report does not say where
the seals, the alligator, the camels,
the elephants, the lions and the
bear. came from. In fact, the re-
port has II that the bureau is as
surprised as anybody.

"B|-LI|X' LIGHT
ENDS DARK
STREETS
New Invention Also Removes
Need Of Auto HeadIamps
Within Cities.

NEW YORK, Jan. 32.-A new type
OF light refractor, the invention Of
which was announced today, il ex-
pected to illuminate streets 90 40 to
make It unnecessary in cities to use
headlights on automobiles.
Double the normal intensity Of
light is said to result from the use
Of the refractor. It was invented by
L. A. 8. Wood, illuminating scientist
OF the George Cutter Works Of the
Westinghouse Electric Company in
South Bend. Ind. The refractOr has
been In experimental use for some
time on Sheridan road. Chicago.
!. Short, dark spaces between light
ing posts are eliminated by the use
OF the refractor, and a continuous
ribbon Of Eliminated street ana side
walk results.
Bends Lannp's Beams.
Part of the light is bent away
from the sidewalk and the roadway,
and is built up in other directions,
rp and down the street between the
posts. There Is very little waste OF
light rays.
The shape Of the "Bi.lux" refrac.
tor. aS It IL called, IL the frustum Of
Q hollow cone. It consists Of two
pieces Of pressed crystal glass, nest
ed one within the other, and clamped
! together 90 as to form a single unit.
The inside surface of the inner
piece and the outside surface Ct the
outer piece are smooth, so that in
the assembled unit both inside and
outside surfaces are smooth.
