ROSCOE ROBERTS

The untifnely death, the frus-
trated life of our loved friend,
Roscoe Roberts, has robbed the
world of a young man who could
have brought honor to his name
and fame to his country. His
great possibilities made him a
God-given gift to the world. His
electrical inventive genius, handi-
capped by a sterile environment.
and repressed by chill penury left
him an nnheralded Edison.
He possessed every quality to
become q great man, but thwarted
on every side, his very genius sub
merged he succumbed finally to his
sad fate. He was . gentleman of
fine. physique, tall, graceful, a
winning personality. with a mind
charged with visions and great in
ventive dreams only a few of
which were permitted development.
In q more sympathetic environ
ment, with one financial helping
hand he could have become bene-
factor of science. Is not society's
responsibility called to give a
reckoning here, the same society
that let the immortal Chatterton
starve in q garnet, that gave to
Samuel Butler who asked for
bread. o monument, q stone, and
that let our own DIR, John Cory,
inventor of artificial ice, perish for
food. while his bust now stands in
the Hall of Fame in Washington?

death, sent flowers to rest on his

Wolves and Music

Science is continually destroying
our fondest beliefs. For centuries
we have believed that music has the
power to move the very stones and
soothe the most savage of breasts.
But this is not so If we can believe
the enterpris;ng gentleman who had
the violin played for the wolves in
the London geological gardens.
Wild wolves from Europe and Asi,
cringed and put their tails between
their respective legs at the sound of
a fiddle played behind their cages.
When the violinist, still playing.
stepped within their range of vision.
terror turned to rage and the wolves
lunged at their restraining bars. In
cidentally, the experiment bore out
another legend-that the music Of s
violin would drive wolves away.

INDIA DRESSES UP
in OUR CASTOFFS
Greatest Consumer of Ameri.
can Old Clothes.

karachi, India.-India Is the
greatest consumer of American sec
ond-hand clothes in the world.
Every year the men, women and
children of this vast subcontinent
spend about S75O,OOO for castoff cos
tunes, coats, gowns, suits, over
coats, shoes and socks once worn
by Americas millions.
No trousers are worn in India, so
this garment Is a drug on the mar
ket.
A $15 oyercoat that may once
have been worn by a wealthy Amer
lean business man finds its way to
the back of an Indian peasant, who
wears it another ten years, but pays
only S1.50 for it.
A rich silken robe that may once
have adorned Washington society
woman finds Its way into an Indian
hut, where 1t gives cover to a
famished Indian housewife, who
pays about dollar for 1t.
An Indian man is not particular
whether the coat is a mans or wom-
ans garment; nor has the Indian
woman any prejudice against wear
ing a masculine article. All gar
ments look alike to the destitute
peasants.
A common laborer, earning about
ten cents a day, may be seen wear
ing a full-dress suit with top hat,
while an impecunious housewife
may be observed wearing a stun
ming evening gown in her tiny
smoky kitchen.
