conBideration and It is not unlikely will adopt it for tne U. S. regular army service. The electrical signal devices are more intricate but from the experiments with them at the academy by the officials as well as cadets, they are an improvement over the other types of the signal service now in use. Deadly Little Guns. Perhaps the most interesting apparatus attached to the autos were the COiAO automatic colt rifles for use in desaroying balloons and other types of air craft. On the hood of each car is mounted one such gun, each having the capacity of ISO shots per minute. It Is possible to discharge the gun at any angle and to change the range very quickly. The barrel is two inches thick and twenty inches long. It is equipped with the most modern type of sights. The gun will kill at a range of over three miles. Major J)avldson, who in 1907, organized a bicycle corps and passed through this city, is th inventor of the wireless and electrical devices. He Is also working on plans for an electrical fireloss cooker to be attached to the machine, as well as arranging a device for the electric lighting of the camp by means of a generator attached to the engine of the auto. A storage bpttery is a part of the equipment and furnishes the power for the mlgnals. The party will take their time enroute to Washington. After the demonstration to the war department officials they will visit Annapolis and JWest Point where the cadets will be shown about. The tour combines Ipleasnre, education and sightseeing for the cadets and officials and also business of much importance for the officials.

Arrangements are complete for the baseball game between teams representing the Democrats and the Republicans in Congress, which will be played here tomorrow to raise funds for the Playground Association. Congressional circles and Washington society in general are taking the keenest interest in the impending contest and it is expected that fully $500 will be raised by the game. The teams have been practicing faithfully during the last few weeks, in spite of the hot weather and are said to be in good trim. "Gene" Kinkead, of New Jersey, is captain of the "majority" team, Jimmy Rurke, of Pennsylvania, leads that of the "minority." Kinkead will play second base on his team and "Billy" Hughes will be at first while T. J. Scully will be worked in as a sub. Sugar. Our word "sugar" is said to be derived from the Arabic "sukkar," the article itself having got into Europe through the Arabian Mohammedans, w ho overran a great part of the world In the seventh, eighth and ninth centuries. Accordlug to Dr. Van Lippnian, a Dutch writer, as a result of the Arab invasion of Persia sugar found its way into Arabia, whence again its culture was carried to Cyprus. Rhodes. Sicily and Egypt. In the last named country the preparation of sugar was greatly improved, and the Egyptian product became widely famous. From Egypt the industry spread along the northern coasts of Africa and so catered Spain, where, about the year lir0, some fourteen refineries werti in operation. Columbus introduced sugar cane into the newworld. Argonaut. His Bad Dream. Truly oriental was the defense pat forward by a prisoner at Allpore.

The magistrate, however, was not satisfied with the story end sentenced the accused to two months' risrorous imprisonment and to pay a fine. Bombay Gazette. When the Loss Was Felt.

CONVENTION HELD IN KENTUCKY Louisville, Ky., July 11. The Republican .State convention assembled in this city today and was called to order shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon. The convention will nominate candidates for governor and for all other State officers to be voted for at the election next November. The official call omits all mention of instructions for United States senator, and the general understanding is that none will be given. Several spirited contests are in sight for places on the State ticket and it is thought probable that the convention may not complete its work before Wednesday. Judge E. C. O'Rear of the Court of Appeals will probably be selected to head the ticket, though several other names are mentioned in connection with the honor, udge O'Rear is urged for the nomination on the ground that he is the strongest . man for the place. It is pointed out that he stands well with the farmers because of his sympathy with them in their contests with the trusts, and is popular with the temperance people because of his advocacy of the county unit proposition. He is not a prohibitionist, but favors a strict and logical regulation of the liquor traffic. THEY BORED HIM. And They Came Mighty Near Boring Him Again With Lead. The dread of boredom is strongly characteristic of the present age. but few hate it with such intensity as the artist who lived iu Paris in the days of the commune and of whom C. E Halle speaks in his "Notes of a Painter's Life." "A friend of mine," says Mr. Halle, "told me that he was in the studi of an artist when it was visited by a detachment of soldiers. The usual question about the possession of arms was asked and answered in the negative, but one of the soldiers found a gun in the corner of the studio, and on his evidence the owner was told that he must come out and be shot. My friend was very fond of him. so he asked to be allowed to see the gun. It was given to him, and with the help of a pencil he passed his handkerchief a few inches down the barrel and brought it out brown with rust. He pointed out that if the gun had been used the inside of the barrel must have been black with powder and not brown with rust, so the artist was let off. "My friend asked the artist why he had not himself suggested this simple test, and all the answer he got was: 'Oh, they bored me. I would rather any day be shot than bored.' " A Tree Tnat Grows D-shes. There )s a tree in the West indies that the natives say "grows dishes." It looks like an apple tree. Tliey cali it the calabash. It bears very quer leaves and large white blossoms that grow right from the trunk and larger branches. After the flower comes the fruit, justs ear apples or peaches do. But this'fntftis in the shape of a gourd, only stronger aad very much larger, sometimes a ( foot to diameter. The shell is so bard" that ah sorts of big aud little dishes aad drinking cups can be carved out of it. Even pots and kettles are made and used over the fire, but of course they cannot last as long as our meuu ones. London

WHAT IN THE WORLD M4DE ME DREAM 5UCH A HORRIBLE THING.1 DATE IS SET FOR WOLGAST'S BATTLE (National News Association) Los Angeles, Cal., July 11. Thanksgiving day is the date practically agreed upon for the title battle between Ad Wolgast and Freddie Welsh, the Welsh champion. The battle likely will be fought here. According to an unofficial statement issued today, the men have agreed on terms, which are said to be $15,000 for Wolgast and $5,000 for Welsh. It was reported here today that Wolgast may meet Matt Wells, the crack English lightweight. A Witty Retort. As is generally the case with people who have nothing to say worth hearing, a conceited drummer talked a great deal, to the evident disgust of a number of his commercial friends who were dining at a country hotel. When cheese was served it was of a decided' "lively" brand, much to the delight of the irrepressible. He attacked it with great gusto, remarking, "I'm like Samson slaying them by the thousand!" "Yes." replied a quick witted diner at the end of the table, "and with the tame weapon too!" Painfully Polite. A Washington trolley car was getting under way when two women, rushing from opposite sides of the street to greet each other, met right in the middle of the car track and In front of the car.

According to Anglo-Saxon law, every man's life, including that of the king, was valued at a fixed price, and any one who took it could commute the offense by a money payment upon a fixed scale. The life of a peasant was reckoned to be worth 200 shillings, that of a man of nohle birth 1,200 shillings, and the killing of a king involved the regicide in a payment of 7,200 shil lings. It lias been pointed out that the heir to the throne could thus get rid of the existing occupant by murdering him and thereafter handing over the fine, according to the scale, to the ex chequer, when his offense would be purged and his money would come back to himself, for in those days the sovereign received all fines as personal perquisites. There is very little doubt that these rough means were practically applied in the case of some rulers of England in the preconquest period. London Telegraph. Stevenson Obliged. Robert Louis Stevenson once sent the following quaint letter to an autograph hunter: You have sent mo a slip to write on. You have sent me an addressed envelope. You have sent it me stamped. Many have clone as much before. You have spelled my name arlgUt, and some have done that. In one point you stand alone; you have sent mo the stamps for my postoffice, not the stamps for yours. What is asked with so much consideration I take a pleasure to grant. Here, since you value it and havft been at the pains tc earn it by such unusual attentions here is the signature.

Miss Henrietta was not a sylph by any means, but she prided herself upon the neatness of her well rounded figure. aDd when she appeared on the hotel veranda one summer day with a cluster of white oxeye daisies pinned against the crisp freshness of her green linen frock gallant old Colonel Floyd was moved to make her a pretty epeech. "What charming posies!" he remarked, with a Chesterfieldian bow. They suit you exactly. You look like a Virginia hillside." He was mystified at the frigidity with which Miss Henrietta received his bit of homage. loath's Companion.

Mrs. Raymond Robins of the Women's Trade Union League. UBS. KAIMONU BOBIKS. The biennial of the National Women's Trade Union league, to be held in Boston June 12, draws attention to the fact that trade uuionibm is making great strides with te! woman who toils. It is due to the .Interest aud the agitation of suqh women- as Mrs. Raymond Robins that wox&eri's unions are now on a substantial basis. Mrs. Robins is a woman of wealth and culture aud has no practical ex perience as a workfug woiian. She was Miss Margaret Dreier of Brooklyn and was educated in private schools and by tutors. In 1D05 she married Raymond Robins, the Chicago sociologist and advocate of organized labor. In 190(3 Mrs. Robins was president of the New York Women's Trade Union league and has beeu president of the Chicago Women's Trade Union league since 1907.

VENISE LACE. A Revival of Many Quaint Yet Exquisite Medieval Patterns. Patterns beautiful enough to have adorned the state robes of the doges are shown in the new point de venise laces, many designs of which have been actually adapted from exquisite lnces now treasured in Italian mupeums. Venise lace is one of the most fashionable of the season's laces, and if a good quality is purchased it is practically indestructible. Venise point, unlike ordinary point, which is only of VESISK POINT tr ACES. thread, is made on a foundation oi fine sheer linen, which is worked ove with buttonhole sritCh. When tfc pattern is completed the unworked lln en is cut away. A heavy lace like th-. point de veuise - can be worn wit! heavy or sheer fabrics, combining a it doe3 the light and heavy workman ship. Collars of the veuise iace arc especially popular. Point- de Franc or French point resembles greatly th venise point on which it is belierec" to have been modeled. King Louir XIV. who was a great admirer ol beautiful laces, brought a number o' the best Venetian lace makers t France aud established a school, th workers in which laid the, foundation for the present colonies of French lace workers. A round collar and a handkerchief border of venise ioint lace are shown here. Tea Leaves. Tea leaves are utilized for removing dust from carpets in every household, more or less, but they should be thoroughly washed beforehand or they will leave a stain upon all that they come in contact with. Tea leaves are also useful for scouring bedroom water bottles when they show signa of discolorment. A Help to Patience. A man who had to leave his offlee and who was expecting a caller to pay him some money left this notice on his door: "I have gone out for halt an hour. Will be back soon. Have been gone twenty infantes already." Boston Transcript. There would have been a hay famine in the United State3 this year had it not been for Canada's surplus.
