SOLVES BIRD SECRET
Prof. Misheison Discovers Cause
of Metallic Colors.
Brilliance of Plumage. as Well as In
sects’ Luster, Is Due to Light
Absorption—Prof. Cutler on
Arid Problem.
Cblraip).—Peacocks and pigeons, but
terflies and beetles— the gayest of the
bird and insert tribes- hate yielded
the secret of their brilliant atlire to
Prof. Albert A. Mi helsou. bead of the
department of physics of the T'niver
eitjr of Chicago. who has discovered in
tils laboratory the real cause of the
metallic colors observed In his feath
ered and "buggy" specimens
Prof. Micbeiscn, who won the No
bel prize In 1909 for his achievements
la optica, announced his latest tind in
a paper read at the annual conference
of the Illinoia State Academy of Sci
ence. In the botany building of the Uni
versity of Chicago. The professor's
experiments prove that the colors stud
ied are the result of light absorption
due to the shape of the surfaces and
are not caused by the pigment cells or
any means that the amateur naturalist
might imagine.
The discovery, according to the sci
entists at the meeting, furnishes schol
ars with a new theory for important
color phenomena. It overturns the
position held by many distinguished
investigators that the trridescent glit
ter of beetles and the tints of the
humming birds are the result of or
dinary “interference" and “diffrac
tion."
"The total cumber of specimens
which cave been examined.*' said the
investigator, “is perhaps not so large
vs it should be to draw general con
ci £icn_s and it is clearly desirable
bat it should be extended, but so far
as the evidence for surface films as
toe efferting source of the metallic col
ors L. 1 irds and insects is entirely con
clusive."
Prof. John M. Coulter, head of the
Unlversit*- of Chicago beinny depart
ment. sale:
"Practical plant breeding is now on
a practical basis and botany has at
last attacked the fundamental prob
letns and may be of some practical
service, for it includes plant breed
icg."
Of the possibilities of converting arid
land into wheat and corn lends Prof.
Couiter said:
“Attempts are being made to secure
a combination of hardiness to drought
which we desire and quality of grain
which we possess. I see no reason
why the vision should not be realized,
but you need not Invest in arid land
for Immediate use as wheat fields. In
the case of corn, as of wheat, we are
not breeding it for drought resistance
aione. and It will take many plant gen
erations of the highest type of scien
tific plant breeding to determine
whether we can combine this drought
resistant structure with the high-grade
quality and yield we have already ob
tained in our cultures."
FIGHT WITH BIG COPPERHEAD
Pennsylvania Sign Painter Frightened

Allentown. Pa.—Eugene Carl, an Al
lentown sign painter. Is laid up with
twitching nerves as a result of a battle
with a monster copperhead. He was
walking across the meadow at Dorney
park to paint a sign, when he heard a
hissing noise and saw the retpile
colled to strike
He fought the snake ofT as best he
could by striking It with bis paint
brush and kettle, but the reptile was
aa skillful as a boxer, and finally
twtched blm; bat. fortunately, its
fangs were only Imbedded In bis trous

( | cries brought to his help Calvin Nyce
who killed the snake with a stick. II

After thinking over the mattei

again and found the snake's compan
loa. a female, with 31 young ones
which were dispatched.
SAYS ONE CHILD IS ENOUGH
So Declare* Olive Schreiner in Her
New Book—Hard Work Would
Make Women Much Happier.
Cambridge, Mass.—"One child Is
enough for the Twentieth century fam
ily," says Olive Schreiner In her new
book, “Woman and Labor."
“The woman who doesn’t earn her
own living is therefore a parasite, ex
j cept for that small portion of her
i lime when she Is engaged In propa
1 gating the species, but for that time
she should be paid.
“Wherever in the history of a na
j lion great numbers of Its women have
j become parasitic, that nation is on the
road to downfall and decay. America
j is. therefore, on the road to degenera
tion. unless Its women of leisure can
be allowed—or induced—to exchange
their vanities for hard labor.
“The human female parasite,” tbe
book states further, "whether In mod
em Paris or New York. *or in ancient
I Greece. Rome or Assyria, Is the wom
an who. relieved of manual labor by
the prost>eiity of her class or nation,
or by tbe Invention of labor-saving
machinery, will trade on her unused
potentialities of motherhood for her
support. I'nless she can or will en
ter the Industrial field or some other
i line of productive activity she bas no
rlgbt to live on the labors of the male,
except In the primitive or decimated
nations, where the duties of mother
hood extend over a greater period
j than the half dozen years now neces
i sary out of her three score years and
ten.
"The woman of leisure today,” she
i says, “like the hot-house specimen so
notorious before the downfall of
. Home, who seekF • madly by pursuit
i of pleasure to fill the voil left by the
' lack of honorable activity, would be
far happier if she had plenty of hard
work to do, and the race would be
correspondingly healthier and more ef
ficient."
FUN BY BARONET AND WIFE
Disguise Themselves as "Poor Musi
cians" and Go on Tour—Friends
Drive Them Away.
l.cndon.—An escapade in which fig
ure a well-known haronet. his wife, a
cavalry officer, the heir of another bar
onet and a street organ is reported
| from Warwickshire.
The Inc (dent, which took place a
| lew miles from Nuneaton, has caused
1 much amusement among those con
, ueeted with the Atherstone hunt.
Having hired a piano-organ from
! some traveling foreigners, the baronet
and his wife disguised themselves as
Italian musicians. The former wore
I a slouch hat and old clothes which had
j done duty in amateur theatrical per
formances; the latter wore old gar
ments and bound her head with a col
j ored silk handkerchief.
Accompanied by a kinsman of the
baronet, they set out to the neighbor
ing mansion occupied by the son of a
baronet well known in London.
No sooner had they begun to reel off
popular music hall airs than the gen
tleman appeared upon ihe scene and.
In a peremptory manner, ordered their
instant withdrawal under threat of
calling in the police.
When, after a time, they made
themselves known, he joined them in
a peregrination of the village, and
eventually the "adventurers” reached
the seat of a country magnate, a lead
ing justice of the peace.
Here the butler was sent to tell
them to leave the grounds immediate
ly, and It was not until the irate squire
himself appeared on the scene that
the quartet retired.
j The climax was reached when the
party arrived at another country resl
| dence. The family were away from
j home, but the servants in a body de
scended uuon the "poor musicians.”
But the party reached home with
their disguise unpenetrated, and a few
days later details of the "joke” leaked
out. and were discussed and greatly
enjoyed by the field that met the
Atherstone hounds near the village
where the escapade was planned.
CAUSE OF DELUSIONS
New Disease Mixes Sounds. Col
ors, Odors and Tastes.
Physicians Now Recognize Condition
Which Probably Accounts for Hal
lucinations of Insane—It Is
Called Synesthesia.
Xew York.—Physicians now recog
nize a condition which probably ac
counts for the hallucinations and delu
sions of the insane. It is called syn
esthesia, end those afflicted with it
are known as synesthesics. It is that
peculiar condition in which sounds cre
ate the idea of colors, and vice versa,
or in which colors, tastes, sounds and
! odors are confused.
“Synesthesia is not a matter of
much practical importance,” says
American Medicine, “but it is highly
interesting to say the least. It is that
curious phenomenon of the overflow oi
sensations so that air waves, for in
stance, give a sensation of color as
well as sound. It seems that through
some defect of development the corti
cal centers (of the brain) are not in
sulated from each other completely, so
that a stimulus received from the re
tina say, is not confined to the visual
centers, but affects adjoining ganglia
"The commonest form is colored
bearing, and most of the cases ol
synesthesia investigated up to a few
years ago were of this type. No two
w'ere alike, that is, the same sound
would cause different colors or shad
lugs in the different cases; a locomo
tive whistle would be yellow to one
or white to another, and so on.
"Moreover, in some cases only a few
sounds are colored, such as the tones
of a piano from black in the bass ti
white in the upper keys with a spec
trum in between. In other cases ever;
sound has a light sensation added t<
it. Then there are cases in which col
ors or odors give sound sensations—
I glaring colors being loud, literally a:
well as figuratively, an<l, of course,
there must be an infinite variety or
mixtures of the other sensations.
The most distressing cases are those
in which there is no actual confusion
of sensations, so that odors and tastes
and sounds are not differentiated No
doubt these abnormalities are at the
basis of many delusions and hallucina
tions of the insane.
"The nervous instability ofsynesthe
sics is the practical side of this sub
ject. Without an exception, the cases
present evidences indicating consider
able nervous involvement in the may
of abnormal development. Some If
not most of them are highly intelli
gent. though itlcapable of that hard
work necessary for success, and all
are very sensitive to irritations which
the average man ignores.
"Perhaps the condition is far from
common than we Imagine, and it would
be well to keep it in mind in the treat
ment of neurasthenics. We might find
that they are great sufferers from jar
ring sensations, not in the way usually
thought of, but in these overflows to
other centers. A normal woman may
be made actually ill by garish colors
dt coarsely arranged music, and we
all know the bad effects of certain
tastes and colors; how much more suf
fering these must be in synesthesics
where the irritant affects more than
one center.
“Of course the cases are so few in
number that the general practitioner
rarely if ever sees them, but he is li
able to have milder borderland types
in which a little attention to aesthetics
may make all the difference between
success and failure in treatment."
Seek to Prevent Insanity.
New York.—New York's first free
clinic for mental diseases opened the
other day at the l.ong Island state
i hospital for the insane. The purpose
Is to discover cases of incipient insan
ity in time to prevent development
into incurable mental disease.

SMILES PUT STOP TO A SUIT
Poughkeepsie Judge See* Wife and
Husband Grin at Each Other and
Halts Separation Case.
1 Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—The trial of
the separation suit brought by Mrs

, prune court here when Justice Mor
sc ha user observed Mrs. Whitbeck and
her has bend exchanging smilea The
Justice, expressing the hope that the
young coup:e would forgive and for

months.
Mrs. Whitbeck, who is very pretty,
was on the stand under cross-examin

Whitbeck, when Justice Morschauser
stopped the proceedings.
“From what I have ob3en*d in the
courtroom you are not very far apart.”
said he. to Mr. and Mrs. Whitbeck
"Smiles have been passing back and
forth between you, and that Indicates
to me it wouldn't take much to bring
you together."
Mrs. Whitbeck asserted she had not
given her husband one smile during
the afternoon, but the justice said he
couldn’t be fooled; that he was not
the only one who had noticed It.
The Whitbecks. neither of whom. Is
more than twenty-live, were married

HOT WEATHER HINTS.
Rise very early and do the hot work
before the heat of the day. It is sur
prising how much more can be done
from five to six than from ten to elev
en. There are no interruptions, as the
majority of people prefer to take
their "forty morning winks.”
Have the work dresses made simply
with a square or round neck, without
a collar, and the sleeves eibow length.
Such n dress is a real comfort if it is
short enough.
Simplify the house furnishings in
the warm weather as we do our food
and clothing. Put away the bric-a
brac and dust-gasbering things. Hll
the house with flowers, cover the
cushions with linen, remove heavy
rug's and simplify housekeeping in
every department. if there is a
small porch off from the kitchen big
enough for a table and covered with
vines, have that for a breakfast room,
it Is a splendid way to start the day.
Iron only the necessary articles,
press out the hems of sheets and buy
white crepe cloth for underwear that
needs no ironing.
Serve fresh fruit oftener for dessert,
and do away with the cooking. The
result will tell in disposition as well
as in digestion.
If the house is lighted by lamps or
gas, use candles for going to bed.
they give sufficient light with much
less heat.
if one is using gas it is necessary
to do as much as possible with the
heat because of the expense, as well
as the comfort. If water must be
heated for any purpose w hile the oven
berners are lighted, set the pan in the
lower oven under the flame. A small
portable oven is a great convenience,'
and if a flat iron or two is put on top
it is kept steady, which is its greatest
disadvantage. For a small family this
oven will do about all the baking ex
cept the bread, and a single loaf may
be nicely baked in one of the small
burner ovens.

CARING FOR CURRANTS.
This pleasant acid fruit is most re
freshing in hot weather and it dessert
of red and white currants in a pretty
glass dish Is one that will please the
most jaded appetite. Currant jolly
holds the highest place among jellies. ,
the red is usually used he< use of its
beautiful color. The black currant is (

Large black or red cherry currants
make a beautiful garnish for a dessert
if prepared as follows: Dip nice
bunches of the fruit into the well beat
en white of egg. then roll in sugar
and lay on a paper to dry.
Spiced Currants.—Take two pounds
of brown sugar, half a teaspoonful of
salt, a cup of vinegar, a tablespoonful
each of cinnamon, ginger, allspice and
cloves Cook all together thirty min
utes. Keep in a stone jar well covered
and sealed.
Black Currant and Raspberry Ice
Cream.—Rub a pint of black currants
through a sieve with a quart of rasp
berries, add a pint of sugar and let
stand an hour. Add a quart of
whipped cream and freeze.
Black Currant Jam.—Gather the
fruit on a dry day and see that it is
perfectly ripe. After stripping the cur
rants from their steins put them in a
preserving kettle with just water
enough to cover. Let them come to a
boil and boil five minutes. Warm the
sugar in the oven aud allow a pound
for every pound of fruit. Stir and
cook for forty-five minutes, reckoning
I from the time it simmers all over. Try
a little on a cold plate, and if it does
not set quickly, boil a little longer.
Put away in sealed jars.
This jam is delicious for steamed
puddings and for dumplings.
When the currants are fresh the fol
lowing pudding Is a good one:
Black Currant Pudding.—Line n
plain buttered dish with buttered
bread and pour over it a pound of
black currants and a pound of sugar
that have been cooked together. Place
more bread on top and put a weight
to press out the juice. When cold turn
on a deep dish and serve with cream.
Every addition to true knowledge is an
addition to human power.
SUMMER DRINKS.
There is no drink that quite takes
the place of lemonade for most pal
ates. and with the addition of a sprig
of mint and a few bruised leaves a
simple julep is made.
Crushed currants and mint, with a
little lemon juice, makes a delicious
drink.
Pine Apple Cup.—Put into a bowl
the juice of three lemons, two oranges,
sliced and the seeds removed, one
grated pine apple, and one cup of
sugar. Let stand an hour to extract
the juice, then strain carefully. Add
as much cold water as desired, two
slices of shredded pine apple, and fill
the glasses half full of cracked ice be
fore adding the fruit juice.
Iced Tea.—Make tea. using a tea
spoonful for each cup of boiling water.
I let stand to brew or steep, but not
boil, for five minutes. Then pour
over cracked ice in a pitcher. Serve
with loaf sugar and slices of lemon.
Raspberry Cup.—Mash and strain
; two cupfuls of ciirr^its stripped of
; stems. Mash also an equal quantity
: of raspberries. Mix the juice, sweet
i cn to taste, and serve in glasses half
i full of cracked ice and decorate with
i a sprig of mint.
Mint Sangaree.—Crash two or three
sprays of mint with a lump of sugar.
Put into a glass half full of cracked
ice. Add four tablespoonfuls of grape
juice and fill the glass to the brim
I with charged water. Shake thorough
! ly and strain into another glass.
Raspberry Dash.—Fill a tumbler half
full of cracked ice. add a tablespoon
ful of sweetened raspberry juice and a
' tablespoonful of sweet cream. Fill the
glass with soda water.
Carnegie's New Benevolence.
Andrew Carnegie is developing a
scheme for re-populating Scotland.
The plan now under consideration is
ambitious. It is proposed to extend
assistance to any Scot whose condi
tions of employment in England.
Wales or Ireland threaten to render
him a burden on the ratepayers. If
aim an of good character, and anxious
to work, he will be provided with a
plot of land which will enable him to
get a comfortable living. Financial
assistance will be given him to allow
him time to realize the products of
his labor. The idea of the scheme is
to place Scotsmen back on the land
and to prevent them from being, as at
present, exposed to the caprice of
shooting landlords.
Curious European Legend.
A curious legend Is associated with
the chain of lakes In the Ilpsert de
Carlltte. In the Pyrenees, over which
the airman M. Vedrlne. made a suc
cessful flight a few days ago. These
lakes, according to local tradition,
were left at the time of the Flood.
When the waters subsided. Noah and
his family landed on the Puy de
Prigue, one of the highest peaks In
the district. Convincing proof of the
truth of this tradition Is found in an
iron ring, to which, the peasants de
clare. the Ark was moored when the '
lauding was effected.
They are grouped about an easel In a
drawing room furnished In modern Eu
ropean style, looking exceedingly con
scious of their garments. On the pos
tal cards which bear this picture the
title Is “Siamese Royal Ueautiea."

Theu he pointed his finger straight
at the questioner. Lightning flashed
from his eyes, and he replied, iu a
voice that made the gas jets quiver:
“Advertise for it, you ignoramus!”
The audience cheered and yelled
and stamped, and the wretched man
who had asked the question crawled
out of the hall a total wreck.
DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS
“Some time ago I was taken with
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist. It began with scales on my
body. I suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. 1 was
greatly disfigured with scales ana
crusts. My ears looked as if they had
been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. r suffered
untold agony and pain. I tried two
doctors who said I had eczema in its
fullest stage, and that it could not
be cured. I then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, I tried a se
ct the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore 1 cannot
praise them too highly.
“I suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am now entirely cured,
and I believe Cuticura Remedies are
the best skin cure there is.” l Signed i
Miss Mattie J. Shaffer. R. F. D. 1, Box
8, Dancy. Miss.. Oct. 27. 1910.
“I had fuffered from eczema about
four years when boils began to break
out on different parts of my body, it
started with a fine red rash. My
back was affected first, when it also
spread over my face. The itching was
almost unbearable at times. I tried
different soaps and salves, but nothing
seemed to help me until I began
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment
One box of them cured me entirely. 1
recommended them to my sister for
her baby who was troubled with tooth
eczema, and they completely cured he r
baby.” (Signed) Mrs. F. L. Marber
ger, Drehersville. Pa., Sept. 6. 1910
