NEW INVENTION MAKES FIREMEN SMOKE-PROOF
MASK
NEW YORK. James D. Halloran , a fireman attached to Engine Company No. 20 of this city , is the inventor of
a simple but effective smoke-mask that has been given a successful test amid trying conditions. The appara
tus consists of a branch pipe fixed to the ordinary fire-hose nozzle , to which are attached three flexible tubes
equipped at their ends with rubber nose pieces. To the branch pipe is attached a length of heavily wired garden
hose , the further end of which is allowed to trail behind on the street as the firemen enter a burning building.
As the stream of water rushes through the hose , it sucks in a current of air through the garden hose , which
goes via the small pipes to the nose pieces and is there breathed by the "smoke-eaters. " The invention was tried
out in a scorching cellar fire recently and worked like a charm.
BEES MAKE PEACH HONEY
Problem of Using Juice of Ripe Fruit
Is Solved by the Owner of a
Ranch in New Mexico.
Roswell , N. M. Bees in the Pecos
valley have solved the problem of
making honey from the juice of ripe
peaches. It is the latest and most
dainty product from the fertile and
famous Pecos valley.
The peach honey will come from
the ranch of E. W. Mirable , located
near Artesia. So far as peach grow
ers and bee-keepers can ascertain this
will be the first honey made from the
juice of ripe peaches in the country.
Honey has been produced in many
places made partly from the nectar of
"HOMINIST" IS LATEST WORD
Inspired by Witty French Journalist
to Describe Man-Imitating Woman
One Is Fined.
Paris. An adenture of Mile. Lucl-
enne Delaroche , a young sculptress
whose works have several times been
exhibited at the salons , has inspired
a witty journalist to coin a new word
whereby militant suffragettes of a cer
tain type will be known in France
henceforward. "Hominist" is the
word , and it is meant to describe the
sort of woman who goes about dress
ed as much like a man as she possi
bly can.
One morning at 2 o'clock the night
police observed a human figure lying
in the gutter of a street in the mid
dle of the Latin Quarter. They lifted
up what apparently was a young man
in an intoxicated condition , with his
clothes badly torn and his appearance
generally deplorable. While taking
the offender , they were assailed by
a volley of descriptive epithets deliv
ered in a high feminine voice , and dis
covered that they were dealing with a
woman In disguise. She was dressed
in black trousers , leather spats , a
man's waistcoat and a woman's coat
reaching to the knees.
The young woman. Mile. Delaroche.
who was the sculptress , explained to
the court that this costume she found
most convenient In the studio , and
that , being suddenly asked out that
evening to visit some friends , she had
forgotten to don the skirt with which
she was accustomed to cover up her
nether garments when out of doors.
.A hard-hearted magistrate fined her
'
30 francs.
peach blooms , but not before from the
ripe fruit
On Mr. Mirable's ranch he pro
duces large quantities of honey each
year from alfalfa and mesquite
blooms , and thus far the bees have
been satisfied with that sort of mate
rial. This year there has been an
abundance of both kinds of blooms ,
but the bees decided to try ripe
peaches.
Recently Mr. Mirable found the
bees at work in his peach orchard. On
some large peaches he found as many
as a dozen bees hard at work. They
were able to puncture the skin of the
peach and not harm the fruit , and get
all the peach juice they wanted.
OPEN-AIR THEATER POPULAR
Danish House in Denmark Is Throng
ed by Patrons of Drama in Deer
Park , Just Out of Capital.
Brooklyn , N. Y. Among the most
interesting experiences of travelers in
Scandinavia this summer has been
open-air theatergoing. For the splen
did weather has induced numerous
dramatic enterprises in scenes of
quite unusual beauty. Such has been
their success that the forest theater
is likely to become a summer institu
tion in northern Europe.
Probably the finest natural theater
in the world is in Denmark , in the
royal deer park , about six miles out
of the capital. There the avenues of
mighty trees serve as wings and
background to a stage fronted by a
beech encircled slope that forms a
perfect auditorium. Eight thousand
people can be accommodated at every
performance and the scene , when the
space is filled with gayly dressed
patrons of the drama , far surpasses
that of a gala performance in more
pretentious but artificial surround
ings.
ings.For
For such scenery a careful selec
tion of plays is needed , but when that
has been done the materials are there
for infinitely greater realism than is
possible in a brick and mortar play
house. For instance , there is space
shade and distance in which to oper
ate advancing and receding playera ,
while the effect of the singing is con
vincing because it has no reliance on
behind the scenes tricks.
With no performance marred by the
weather , the Copenhagen open-air
theater has had a wonderful season.
For three weeks he kept a close
watch and the bees have worked with
great diligence in the big peach or
chards through the valley near Arte
sia , They have stored the peach
sweets in the hives at the ranch and
the new crop of peach honey will be
ready for market during the coming
month. The first to be taken will be
shown at the Roswell exposition
October 5 , G and 7.
The quality of peach honey is some
thing that must be left to the readers
imagination. Being a new product
there are no samples , nor are there
experts to dilate on its daintiness.1
The announcement of the new prod
uct has aroused a great deal of inter
est and Mr. Mirable has been advised
to re-christen his ranch and call it
Peach Honey Ranch.
Their "playhouse" has been the one
cool spot in all the range of entertain
ments.
Four plays have been given "A
Midsummer Night's Dream , " Schiller's
"Die Raueber , " Sophocles "Antigone , "
and an old Danish love story with a
tragic vein. As the stars in those per
formances came the chieC actors and
actresses from the state and other
leading Copenhagen theaters , so there
was the best of talent as well as the
most ideal setting.
Spectators , both from home and for
eign points , were thrilled by the fight
in "Die Raeuber" between the bri
gands and a troop of pursuing horse
men , and charmed by Mme. Clara
Wieth's original conception of Puck
in "A Midsummer Night's Dream. "
Reluctantly have they returned to
town by the light of the moon and
from this fascinating playing in the
noble forest under the blue sky.

If a Sickly
Youngster Try This Free
The family with young children that is
tvithout sickness in the house now and
then is rare , and so it is important that
the head of the house should know what
to do in the little emergencies that arise.
A child with a serious ailment needs a
doctor , it is true , but in the majority of
instances , as any doctor knows , the child
suffers from some Intestinal trouble ,
usually constipation.
There is no sense in giving it a pill era
a remedy containing an opiate , nor is
flushing of the bowels to be always rec
ommended. Rather give it a small dose
of a mild , gentle laxative , tonic like Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin , which , by clean-
of this paper de
siring to buy
anything adver
tised in its columns should insist upon
having what they ask for , refusing all
substitutes or imitations.
