Laredo, Tex. Cursing Americans as brutes and pigs, a , large crowd Df Mexican ruffians stonred the American consulate at Ciudad PorBro Dlax, Mexico, across the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, Tex. They stone, windows and doors first and then battered down doors and entered the building, breaking all the furniture aDd destroying government records. Luther T. Ellsworth, the American consul, was not In the building and escaped injury, despite the fact that for a while there were threats made against him because of his being a representative of the United States. Reports from Eagle Pass are that the police in Ciudad Porfirio Diaz are making a rigid investigation and expect to apprehend and punish the guilty parties, whom they declare to ta of the lowest class and not representatives of the Mexican public. Washington. Complying with a request made by Secretary of State Knox, an Inquiry has been begun by Governor Campbell of Texas Into the lynching of Antonio Rodriguez it Rock Springs November 3. Word to this effect was received at the state department and until the resuit of the inquiry is learned definite reply will not be given to the request of the Mexican government by Ambassador De La Barra that official explanation be made of the Incident. It Is believed here that the Mexican government will be content with this course and will do its utmost to prevent further hostile demonstrations against Americans. Fifty-one men are In Jail in Mexico City for acts of vandalism during the riots, according to information received by the stete department from United States Ambassador Wilson. The ambassador says the streets aro being patrokd and he does not expect further acts of violence. The Mexican authorities have furnished ample protection for the American embassy. Mexico City. Though the authorities have assured Ambassador Wilson that there will be no riotinj, the anti-American feeling Is very high, due in a larg-e measure to a cartoon in the Diario del Hogar, showing Mexico clubbing Uncle Sam with a picture of the burning of Rodriguez in the background. The mounted police enforced comparative quiet, dispersing the only dangerous mob which, assembled In front of the National theater. The city Is heavily policed and Chief of Police Felix Diaz says he will act rigorously against all offenders. The police have arrested and Jailed 217 persons In connection with the riots. Ambassador Wilson declines to state the nature of Minister Creel's reply to his protest against reviling the American flag, but he said the Mexican government has taken a satisfactory attitude. . The ambassador was also assured that the newspapers which Incited the outbreaks would be suppressed. Rerorts which have reached Mexico City from tho United States, that an attempt had been made upoi? the life of Ambassador Wilson were without any foundation In fact OAWSON WINS SAVANNAH PRIZE.

15 GLASS TRUST MEN

ARE FINED $500 EACH! Officials of Imperial Company Admit Violation of Sherman LawCombine to Dissolve. Pittsburg, Pa. Fifteen officers and directors of the Imperial Window Glass company pleaded nolle contendere before Judge James S. Young in the United States district court to a violation of the Sherman anti-trust act and each was fined $300. At the same time a fine of $2.500 was Imposed upon the corporation itself with costs. Among those fined are Myron I Case, president; J. G. Sayre, secretary, and M. J. Ilealy, vice-president. Dissolution of the combine, by which the government alleged a monopoly in handbiown window glass had been established and an Increase in price of from CO to 70 per cent, been effected, will follow Immediately, It was announced by attorneys for the company. The Imperial Window Glass company was indicted by the federal grand jury here last April, with In.dividual Indictments against the officers and directors, mainly through the activity of United States Attorney John H. Jordan and Edwin P. Grosvenor, special assistant to the attorney general's office at Washington. The company was organized In West Virginia less than two years ago and controlled the product of glass factories in more than a score of states. NO PEACE IN EXPRESS STRIKE. Jersey City Employes Nullify Agreement Made by New York Men. New York. The striking express drivers and helpers of Jersey City nullified the agreement reached between the New Yorkstr.kers and the five transcontinental companies. That agreement was conditioned upon the consent of the Jersey men to return to work, and they have refused. The situation now reverts to precisely the position It occupied before Mayor Gaynor took a hand In the negotiations with this exception, that the mayor is angry and resolved to temporize no longer. Some of the New York drivers and helpers who believed the Jersey men would also ratify the agreement were on their wagons, but if the International Brotherhood of Teamsters makes good Its word, they will alLbe called out again. The chauffeurs are fighting their own battle, and it promises to be a bitter one. Five hundred cab drivers went out to aid them. FIVE SHOT IN CICERO HOLD-UP. Two Fatally- Wounded In Fight Between Police and Robbers. Chicago. Fle persons were shot two of them probably fatally, in fin attempt to rob the saloon of Louis Belmont, in the town of Cicero, near here. Three bandits made the attempt at robbery, and when the saloonkeeper fired on them a revolver battle began. One of the burglars was shot through the head and is not expected to recover. Policeman John Kane, who ran to the aid of Belmont, was shot through the body five times and will probably die. Miss Millie Coller, a waiter, was hit by a bullet while in an adjoining room. Her nose was shot off. Belmont was hit by two bullet", but his wounds are not fatal. Fred Cobb, a customer In the saloon, was shot through the breast and ha Ld. TO HANG AS HILLER SLAYER. Negro Identified by Finger Prints Is Sentenced for Murder. Chicago. Identification by finger prints is responsible for a verdict in the criminal court sentencing Thomas Jennings to hang. Jennings, who Is a negro, was found guilty of the murder of Clarence Hiller, former chief clerk In the local freight office of the Chicago, ,Rock Island & Pacific railway. '. The marks by which Jennings was convicted were found on the porch railing of Hiller's home. Jennings was robbing the house when he was discovered by Hiller and in the ensuing struggle Hiller was shot and killed. It is the first murder case on record in which the finger print system of identification was relied upon for a conviction. LOWER PRICES, SAYS ARMOUR. Head of Kansas City House Asserts ' High Cost Has Passed. Kansas City, Mo. Charles W. Armour, head of the Armour Interests here, said he believed food prices had reached their climax and are now on the down grade. "General food prices are working toward a lower basis,' he said. "The cereals are getting down. People are going1 to take advantage of lower prices, arid that will have a tendency to relieve the stringency in meat prices, especially pork."

i THE Ml V REFLECTOR ON STREET LAMP EUctrlc Light Is Made to Cast Greater Portion of Its Rays Down Thoroughfare. By means of a porcelain enameled teel reflector, composed of four in tersecting semi-parabolas surrounding the lamp, the globe type of electric street lamp is made to ctst the rreater portion of its light down the lenters of the intersecting streets, and anly the minimum amount reaches the street corners, says Popular Mechanics. When the fixture is suspended Shade Throws Light Down Center of Street in the center of a block, a reflector with only two, instead of four, semiparabolas is furnished, thus stretching the light out considerably. GROWING HAIR ON BALD HEAD Electricity Utilized by Latest Method More Effective Than Any Other Process Tried. The newest method of growing hair 'on bald heads Is by electricity. It Is said to be more effective than any process hitherto known, and promptly checks a tendency to falling hair though of course when baldness has reached Its final stage nothing will help, and even the electric current does not avail, the roots being dad. For the purpose In question a current is applied to an exceedingly high voltage, but of small amperage.. This Is not so hard to undevstand as might be imagined. Voltage is a term of pressure. When water Is flowing out of a faucet one might call the rate of flow the voltage and the size of the stream the amperage. In the case of the bald-headed man who seeks elec trical treatment only a small quantity of electricity is employed, but it is ap plied at high pressure. ' Tiie result is a vigorous stimulation of the scalp and the roots of the hair If the latter have any vitality left In them the bald place will soon be cov ered by a downy fuzz, and, healthy conditions being restored, a becoming hirsute thatch will take the place of the erstwhile bare expanse of cranium a source of thankfulness to the pa tlent ELECTRIC COOKER IS CHEAP Carried on Hinges sc That It Does Work of Two In Boiling, Frying, Heating, Etc. This electric cooker consists of an oven, 12 by 12 by 14 ix inside, with the heating apparatus mounted on l Economical Electric Cooker. one ,slde, says Popular Mechanics. This Is carried on hinges oo that it can be lowered, as shown In the Ulus tratlon, for boiling, frying, tc, vhllo. in its ordinary position it heats the oven. Thus one heater can be made to do the work of two, although, of course, not as the same time. Get Electric Light With Coin, The authorities of the village, of Jocketa, in Saxony,, recently Installed electric light in the streets. The light Js cut off at 11:00 p. m., when It Is supposed everybody is In bed. The authorities, however, discovered a number of; clubmen who were "afraid to go home in the dark" and who kicked about having the . lights extinguished at eleven. To meet their demands the authorities have attached penny-ln the-slot devices to the light roles. A tired clubman going home in the dark after eleven can now fumble his way to an electric light pole, drop a penny In the slot and light his way home. If he lives far from his club two successive pennies will do the trick. - Electricity Displaces Gasoline. The old-style gasoline lights which have been used in Central park are to be displaced with 1,400 or more than twice as many electric lamps. A very artistic lamp pose has lbeen designed for the new lamps. One of the objections to the gasoline lamps Was the f''Ct that the leakage of the oil ruined the grass around these lamp posts. Furthermore, the lamplighters did much damage by making chort cuts through the flower beds along their routes from one lamp to another. . Wireless on Ocean Vessels. Every ocean-going boat carrying passengers and doing business at American ports and playing between ports 200 miles apart Is now equipped with wireless telegraphy outfits, or It Is violating a law passed by congress last June, making such equipment compulsory. The lighthouses also are equipped with the wireless. This will nake easy the extension of a new invention to circumvent the danger of (ozz. Power From River Jordan. A plan for supplying Palestine with tlectricity for lighting, heating and cooking purposes is being entered upon by a French company which has headquarters in Paris. Power will be supplied by the falls of the River Jordan between the waters of tho Merom and the Lake of Galilee, where the river descends 700 feet. A generating plant will be erect'ed on the west bank of the river and will be connected with all the chief owns .of the country.

USEFUL FIRE ALARM DEVICE

Electrical . Apparatus' EsDeclallv Handy In Vessels, Stores, .Houses and the Like. W. P. Pierce, of Kirkwood, Mo., has Invented the device shown in the il lustration and Is especially useful as a fire alarm in vessels, houses, .stores, or the like, or it may be used on Journaled bearings to prevent a hot-box. The device comprises two members normally held out of contact by means Sil 5SSr5-A ih High Temperature Alarm. of a fusible substance which holds a spring, says Scientific American. When this substance melts at the predetermined temperature the spring is released and forces the two members into contact, thus completing the circuit of an alarm. ELECTRIC WAITER IS NOVEL Frenchman Arranges His House so That He Can Secure Numerous Articles by Eleciricity. The wonderful electric house of Mr. George Knapp, In Paris, France, in which the owner can be served with anything he wants from a book to a mea! In any room in the house by simply pushing a button, can hear everything going on In any part of the house and see approaching visitors before they gain the entrance, has been described . before. But many new things are continually being added, one of the most interesting being the means by which dishes are made to appear on the table. The chef prepares each dish in its proper order and has it ready waiting on a tray. When the host and his guests are seated at the table, the former touches a button and the electrically operated tray arrives through a trap door In the top of the table. When closed this tray looks like two ordinary silver covers on the table. By pressing another button, the tray with its dish Is carried around tho central portion of the table. As the dish arrives in front of each guest, the host touches a third button, which stops It while the guest Is helping himself. The dish passes all around the table In this way, and then, on again pressing the first button, it disappears through the table and returns to the kitchen. Electric Floats in Holland Parade. During the celebration of the blrtHday of Queen Wilhelmina at The Hague recently, a novel feature was Introduced. Instead of the ordinary floats on co'nmon drays or trucks, the electric cars , were used and decorated In the most Ingenious and orlglt al fashion. Tho novel Idea excitel the spirit of emulation among the decorators and the cars were transformed in the most fairy-like manner, this one into a Moorish temple, that one Into a Chinese pagoda, another into a Dutch inn, etc. It was an amusing and picturesque spectacle and obtained an immediate success. An Electric Ink I'raser. A draftsman seldom has the paltence to erase an ink lLje from tracing cloth properly. If the eraser is operated with too much pressure, the cloth Is marred. The proper method Is to operate the eraser with a light but quick motion. Recently an electrically driven eraser has been Invented, consisting of a small motor provided with a flexible shaft which carries a circular-eraser at its outer end. In trder to clean the eraser of particles of ink which it pick3 up, a cleaning rubber is provided, which bears lightly against the erasing rubber. New Application of Electricity. An eminent firm of German electricians claim to have devised an apparatus by which an electric current, of the character useu for the purpose of healing Internal disorders, may be applied locally. The Inventors say that while the current produces no detrimental consequences to the patient in other respects, it may be applied to a diseased organ with good results. It is alleged further, on its behalf, that the current, directed to auy part of the body on which it is intended to operate, would produce sterilization and thus prevent, blood poisoning. Reflection of Mirrors. Mirrors that are made of glass have metal placed on one side of the gl&ss. The light will pass through the slass, but will not pass through the metal backing. Light has the property of bounding from a surface that It can not penetrate, the same as a ball would when thrown against a sijrf&ce that It can not penetrate. The light passes through the glass of tb mirror, meets the metal backing, and then bounds from It This bounding of the light from tho metal surface Is culled reflection, and mirrors are said to reflectSt. Nicholas. ' ELECTRICAL NOTES. a The National Electric Light assocl-' atlon has attained a membership of . nearly 4,000. Germany now leads the world In the number of electric furnaces for smelting, refining and casting. A pulsating vacuum pump, operated by an electric motor, is a novelty in the line of milking machines. Ranking next, to the sun's rays in stimulating and germicidal effects are the rays from electric lights. To take up the strain more evenly a Swedish Inventor has prod. iced electric cables with hemper cores. The danger of fire Is eliminated when an oil tempering bath is heated by electricity Instead of coal or gas. It Is estimated that electric illumination is used by about 700.000 out of a total of about 8,500.000 households In the United States. Of tho 1.000,000 horsepower which the rivers of Minnesota are estimated to be capable of producing less than one-third lias been made available. Coal Is so scarce in Slam that gas is not uped for illuminating and tho only city using electricity is Bangkok. The government posts and telegraph administration controls all wireless telegraph stations In Franco. A new system of electric signaling for mines, to give an alarm in case of fire or other mishap, operated by a hand-driven generator, has been .perfected. According to statistics quoted In Engineering, there are in the whole world 9.600.000 telephones, and the lines have an aggregate length of About 12.500.000 miles.

SELECTION OF GOOD LAYERS Not Unusual for Well-Conducted Farm to Secure Average of 200 Eggs Per, Hen Per Year. After the incubator the next most important development in this industry has been the breeding by careful selection of races of hens that are exceptional layers, says an exchange. It is not unusual for a well-conducted farm to average nearly 200 eggs. per hen per year, and the tendency Is to improve upon this figure. Several years ago in Australia an egg-laying coatest was held extending over an entire year, a great number of breeds being pitted against each other, and the average of the winning pen of six pullets, averaging from seven to twelve months old, was 218 eggs per Vn for the year. At many of the Prize Winners. experiment stations in this country similar tests are "conducted from time to time, and It is not unusual for one pen of selected fowl3 to produce an average of 250 eggs apiece, while the record for Individual hens, a much disputed honor, is considerably above that figure. The Orpingtons appear to be quite as good layers as any other breed. The Brown, Leghorns, while not quite so prolific layers, require relatively small rations and therefore are considered very economical egg producers. A good layer will produce five or six times her weight each year. GOOD FARM POULTRY HOUSE Minnesota Woman Gives Description of Open-Front Style of Structure for Chickens. Our main henhouse is built of hemlock boards. The open-front style of house Is liked best and the one shown in the illustration cost about 60 cents per running foot, writes Mrs. D. E. Grover of Freeborn County, Minn., in Homestead. This house is 50 feet long, 8 feet high in front, feet in the back and 11 feet wide. In every 20-foot pen a section of the front It hinged to let down to admit fresh air, Section of Cheap Poultry House, the inside covered with netting te keep the hens In. The cut shows only 20 feet of this house. A heavy prepared roofing paper is more economical than shingles on these rather flat roofs. The shingles rot quickly, and leak quicker than they decay. The sides are covered with a cheaper grade of roofing. The sun gets into these narrower houses better In winter than would be possible with wider ones, and we find the more sun the more eggs and healthier fowls. Every day, unless stormy, the front Is let down, and plenty , of fresh, pure- air is obtained without draft Practical Egg Farming. " I raise poultry chiefly for the jiroflt In the sale of eggs for commercial purposes. My stock Is all single-comb white leghorns, and I have not tried to make u breed, says a writer In Baltimore American. I started four years Ago by getting eggs from, a man who nad raised White Leghorns on a large scale for 27 years on the same farm. I started with four 360-egg machines, and now have eight, and shall increase to ten next spring. I have learned something about hen raising. I find that you cannot get your hen knowledge from books, papers or other people, but must knock It out of your own experience. Keep Poultry House Dry. It has been said that a dry hen cannot be frozen to death. Her coat of warm feathers protects her For this reason it Is more Important to have a dry poultry house than a warm one. Keep out the rain and dampness and the hens will fare well. Cull Before Winter. One thing the poultry keeper should not neglect to do before putting the flock Into winter quarters, and thM is to cull. The Flowers of the Sea, Like the land, the sea has its flowerv, but the most brilliant of the marbe flowers bloom not upon plants, but upon animals. ,The living corals oi tropical seas present a display of floral beauty that In richness and vividness of color , and variety and grace of form rivals the splendor of a garden of flowers. ' The resemblance to vegetal blossoms Is so complete that some persons find It difficult to believo that the brilliant display contains no element of plant life, but I wholly animal in Its organization. Among the eea animals that bloom as if they were plants are included, betides corals, the sea-anemone and the Eea-cucumber. It has been remarked that among the coral gardens the birds and butterflies of the upper world are replaced by fishes cf curious forms and flashing colors which dart about among the animal flowers Girlish Bandeau.

SELECT GOOD LAYING STOCK

Use of Trap Nests Is Sure Way to Determine Which Are Layers and Which Are Drones. In keeping chickens much depends on the breeding stock. There are several advertised methods of telling what hens will produce eggs that will hatch out good layers, but about the safest way is to use eggs from hens that are known to be hardy. The onlj absolutely sure way of making selection for breeding stock, according tc the experts of the Maine agricultural station. Is by means of data obtained from the use of trap nests. Onty Investigators and an occasional poultryman, however, can afford the equipment and the expense involved in operating trap nests, but every poultryman can, by observing his young stock during the fall, select the pullets that are beginning to lay and obtain for the next season's breeding a pen of birds' with the function of egg production strongly developed. The work done by the pullets from September to February or March is a pretty good indication of their use fulness, and their eggs are available for breeding during the pullet year While the chickens from such eggs are generally not so large at maturity as those from older hens, they do not appear to lack constitution or vigoi and there is no apparent reason why they are not desirable for breeding purposes. Pullets which begin laying first oi the ones that start when quite youns are generally the best breeders. It I not the largest birds of any particular breed that are the best, but usually the medium-sized fowls. Early laying is an indication of a strong bird; bj using the eggs from such fowls, it wil' not take long to produce a strain o: layers that will fill the egg basket in winter, as well as In the early spring. A good layer usually has a long body and is especially wide and deep la fluff. EXCELLENT GATE FOR FOWLS Eliminates Nuisance of Chasing Chick ens That Have Escaped From the Poultry Yard. In order to reduce the nuisance or having to chase hens that have .es caped from the poultry yard, the do vice illustrated herewith will be found Entrance for Hens. highly satisfactory, says American Agriculturist It consists of a frame set in the poultry fence. From the top two doors, each hollowed out toward the center, are, hung by freely moving hinges or leather straps. The her walking along the outside will see thli opening and push her way through The doors will fall of their own weigh! behind her. Importance of Water. With the thought In mind that watei Is by far the chief element entering Into the composition of an egg. Is it any wonder that the water supply fox the poultry should receive the most careful attention, first last and all the time? In fact, water composes such 8 very large per cent of all poultYy. live stock and dairy products, that no in telllgent farmer can afford to overlook the smallest detail in regard to itt cleanliness, freshness and purity every day In the year; every hour In the day. Get all the leaves you can for the scratching pens. We need new breeds when the are better than the ones we have. Lice prevent hens from laying end young chicks from thriving. Milk-fed chicks have become a standard", fancy meat product on some city produce markets. If you have any little potatoes, the hens can make good use of them Boil them up 6oft, and feed a ration now and then. The run of stuff to market thes days Is. made up mostly of old hem and venerable roosters. Start the incubators for the early broilers provided you have a suitable place to rear the youngsters. The April-hatched pullets should now be laying. They certainly are, II they have been given the proper feed and care. It Is not good policy to allow the young and old stock to run together, and the cockerels should bo separated from the pullets. In some places chickens are purchased, confined and finishM fen market on milk and ground feeds, the milk constituting the larger portion oi the diet , Let's begin to coddle our hens with the first whiff of frosty weather. That softens them and makes them lender for the real cold that It com ing. beads strung side by side.
