The Set of Artificial Teeth That Washington Endured. It may not be generally known that the Father of His Country was one of the first Americans to wear artificial teeth. By the time the war of the Revolution had ended he had parted company with most of the outfit which nature had given him. An ingenious j physician and dentist of New York city i undertook the then unusual task of reequipment and produced at length n full set of artificial teeth. These are now, of course, a dental curiosity and offer an additional proof of the heroism of our first president,, for it is a matter of fact that General Washington wore those teeth for many years and. so far as we know, never complained of them. The teeth we're "c'arve'd from ' ivory and riveted, .wired and clamped to a somewhat ponderous gold plate. Three large elamps in particular figure conspicuously in the roof of the mouth and must have caused difficulty, if not anguish. There were an upper and an under set. and the two were connected and held iu position relatively by a long-spiral spring on each side, says Harper's Weekly. i? Nevertheless Washington wore them long and well, a fact sufficiently attested by the worn and dinted condition of both teeth and plate. At the last account these teeth were the property of a dental institution in Baltimore. A Useful Coffin. A writer in an English church magazine once found in a collier's cottage in Staffordshire a ' coHn used as a bread and cheese cupboard. Notwithstanding bis wife's remonstrance, he told the story of the cofflu as follows: "Eighteen years ago 1 ordered that coffin. The wife and me used to have a good many words. One day she said, 'I'll never be content till I see thee in thy coffin.' 'Well, lass, I said, 'if that'll content thee it'll soon be doue.' "Next day I gave direitvns to have the t hihg made. In a few days it came liuuie. to the wife's horror. 1 got into it and said, 'Now, lass, are thee coutent? She began to cry and wanted the 'horrid thing taken away. But that I wouldn't allow, lit the end she got Mtvnstomed to seeing it, and as we wanted to turn it to some ue we had some shelves put -in and made it into a bread and cheese cupboard. We have never q isrreled since it j;ame.

He also made it known j that the platform will deal extensively with the control of corporations and j their conduct. Although Col. Roosevelt jhas abandoned his western trip, which I had been planned for next week he is ! getting out letters to be used in the j earliest state campaigns. The ex-presi-'dent is taking up the situation in the j states where fights are on to name I electors and in his letters will advise I his supporters of his views. These adj visory letters will be sent to Indian, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and other states where the fight is hottestCol. Roosevelt is also preparing a speech to deliver on the night of August 5, the day the Progressive party convention opens at Chicago. The speech he said today is to be his "confession of faith." In it he will deal with the industrial problems of the day, the regulation of corporations, the trusts and the tariff, judicial recall and other Issues that are to be prominent in the fall campaign. Col. Roosevelt today disposed of a rumor from Washington to the effect that Sen. Dixon is to drop out of the third party campaign because of the lack of enthusiasm for it. The Colonel spoke of Sen. Dixon as one of the most ardent supporters he had and declared that Mr. Dixon is just now engaged in organizing the Progressive party in Georgia.

Scotland, once a British royal residence, is the subject of a strange legend. Robert Louis Stevenson alludes to it in his little book on Edinburgh. "There is a silly story." he writes, "of a subterranean passage between the castle of Holyrood and a bold highland piper Who volunteered to explore its windings. He made his entrance by the upper end. playing a strathspey. The curious footed it after him down the street, following his descent by the sound of the chanter from below, until all of a sudden, about the level of St Giles, the music came abruptly to an end and the people in the 6treet stood at fault with hands uplifted. Whether he was choked with gases or perished In a quag or was removed bodily by the evil one remains a point of doubt, but the piper bas never again been seen or heard of from that day to this." National Shortsightedness. "In this country. said the sociologist, "everything possible is done to discourage people from marrying." "How so?" inquired one of the listeners.

MODERN VIEWS ON WONDERS OF WORLD Scientists Vote Seven New Wonders to the List Made by the Ancients.

SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD MODERN. 1. Wireless. 2. Telephone. 3. Aeroplane. 4. Radium. 5. Antiseptics and antitoxins. 6. Spectrum " analysis. 7. X-ray. ANCIENT. 1. The Pyramids of Egypt. 2. Pharos of Alexandria. 3. Hanging Garden of Babylon. 4. Temple of Diana at Ephesus 5. Statue of Jupiter by Phidias. 6. Mausoleum of Artemesia. 7. Colossus of Rhodes. CHICAGO, July 18. When Antipater the epigrammatist of Sidon, wrote a guide book for western travelers in the eastern country, about two centuries before Christ, he prefaced it' with a list of Seven Wonders of the World. These, in Antipater's mind, no sightseer could afford to miss, or at least fail to hear about. The selection has come down in history. It represents the most glorious achievements of man in the ancient time. The publishers of Popular Mechanics recently sent out 1,000 letters to eminent scientists in Europe and America, and inclosed a ballot containing fifty-six subjects of scientific and mechanical achievement. The letter requested the learned men to cross off seven of the list which they thought were the "seven greatest wonders of the modern world," or supplement a list or partial list of their own. Here Is Standing in Vote. Seventy per cent of the letters gained responses. The ballots on the highest seven items stood this way: Wireless telegraphy, 244 votes; telephone, 185; aeroplane, 167; radium, 165; antiseptics and antitoxins, 140; spectrum analysis, 126; X-ray, 111. The three next highest achievements received this vote: Panama canal, 100; anesthesia, 94; synthetic chemistry, 81. Dr. Theodore Paul of the Royal university, Munich, Germany, checked the only ballot received marked for the seven titles which the total vote showed to have been selected. Six ballots, one from India, two from France, two from Germany, and one from he United States, showed the selection of six of the final seven. Poll Touches All Nations. The poll was of international extent. The voters represent a wide diversity of opinion, leaders of almost every branch of human achievement. Maxim. Marconi, Alexander Graham Bell, Mme. Curie, Edison Steinmetz, Albert Zahm, R. W. Wood, David Todd, Dr. E. H. Hyde, members of the French academy of scientists, of the Royal society of London, the American academy and the great German universities are represented in the list of voters. Among the Chicago men who voted are: B'on J. Arnold, James Bowland Angell, E. H. Moore, F. R. Moulton, H. Gideon Wells. E. A. Mlllikan, A. A. Michelsen, E. E. Barnard, John Parkhurst, and Edwin B. Frost of the University of Chicago, Dr. Frank Billings, J. C. Miller, and O. H. Basquin of Northwestern university. "Wonders" Named on Ballot. The ballot sent out contained the following list: Panama canal, wireless, linotype machine, printing press, camera, x-ray, locomotive, aeroplane, electric furnace, incandescent light, phonograph, colored motion pictures, skyscraper, automobile, hydroplane, turbine engine, spectrum analysis, antiseptics and anti-toxics, anesthesia, modern ocean liner, sewing machine, thrashing machine, reinforced transportation, submarine, battleship, electric transformer, discovery of north and south poles, telephone, telegraph, Eiffel tower, hydro-electric power, utilization of pneumatic power, typewriter, computing machine, color printing, steel, preventive medicine, synthetic chemistry, radium. Assuan dam, Simplon tunnel, ultra-microscope, artificial ice, modern telescope, international combustion engine, taking nitrogen from the air, Florida Key West railroad, Transslberian railroad, ore smelter, science of eugenics, C&tskill 'aqueduct, TransaDdean railroad, textile machinery, oxyaeetylene and oxy-hydrogen torches. Modem Men Prefer Practical. The contrast of the selections made by the Antipater of ancient times with the world's greatest scientists of mod-

ern times is marked. Among the ancient wonders only one was of practical utility the pharos lighthouse, 400 feet high, built at Alexandria. The hanging gardens o Babylon were built not for the people but for the sensual pleasure of the queen of Babylon. Two were sepulchres; another was an adornment for a polytheistic shrine; while ajiother, the Colossus of Rhodes, was a representation o fa man in cast metal less than half the height of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. The result of the vote, together with articles by eminent scientists on the "seven modern wonders," is contained in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, which will be Issued on July 20.

IN POLICE COURT Six men faced the charge of public intoxication before Mayor Zimmerman this morning in police court while one man was arraigned on the charge of defrauding a boarding house keeper. John Whalen. 810 North G street, pleaded guilty to the charge of drunk but was not fined, his case being postponed, pending an investigation. The police declare that Whalen is not of age and that they will make an attempt to ascertain where he secured his liquor. Whalen refused to tell his cge. He was arrested last night at Twelfth and Main streets by Patrol- ' man Edwards. Frank Davidson and August 'Venier were arrested by Patrolman Edwards and Supt. Gormon at the C. and O. passenger depot last . night on the charge of drunk. Each were fined $1 and costs in police court this morning. . Robert Corbet, and OUie Ruthlage were also fined $1 and costs each on the charge of public intoxication. John Gabriel, charged with drunk, was released upon his promise to pay his board bill and leave the city, not to return within two years. D. R. Ellman was arraigned on the charge of defrauding the Ridgeway restaurant on North E street. Ellman admitted that he owed a board bill of $10.50 but denied the charge that he had attempted to leave the city. He was fined $5 and costs. ELECTRIC LIGHTS. Their Effect In the First Theaters In Which They Were Used. The first theater in the world to use incandescent lamps was the Academy of Music, on Halstead street, Chicago, the plant being installed by the Western Edison Light company. The theater was wired for 150 sixteen candle power lamps. The lighting was confined to the auditorium. No electric lights were used on the stage, as dimmers had not been thought of at that time. On the opening night, after the new lights were installed, the actors struck, claiming that it was impossible to make up by gaslight and play their parts under the glare of the electric lights. It was with difficulty that they were persuaded to proceed with the second act. The first theater to be completely lighted with incandescent lamps wa the old Haverly theater, then located on Monroe street, where the Inter Ocean building now stands. This plant consisted of two dynamos with a capacity of 637 lamps. On the opening night only sufficient lights were started at first to enable the ushers to seat the audience. When the curtain rose every light was turned on, causing a tremendous sensation among the audience and eliciting applause that continued for fifteen minutes. The innovation was so successful that McVicker's theater and the Chicago Opera House immediately installed similar plants. W. C. Jenkins in National Magazine. TRUTH. Nothing but truth is ever ultimately victorious. Nothing but Ufe ever finally prevails. Nothing but God emerges in the end from the backward and forward swmg of the pendulum and the breaking of the waves that mark the tide upon the rocks of human ignorance and weak, ness and folly.

y TELLS OF PARKER CAMPAIGN Says that Approximately $100,000 Raised Trust Money Barred. WASHINGTON, July 18. One million dollars, approximately, financed the Alton B. Parker campaign for the presidency according to statements made today by William Sheehan, of New York, chairman of the executive committee in 1904. before the senate committee investigating campaign expenses. Mr. Sheehan was unable to give the names of any individuals who gave amounts greater than $5,000 and $10,000 except August Belmont. There was not a dollar directly or indirectly subscribed by the trusts. Mr. Sheehan said, who stated that a rule was adopted not to receive any money from them. Mr. Sheehan recalled that a check for $10,000 was sent to the New York state campaign committee by the American Sugar Refining company but the committee ordered that it be returned without being cashed. Mr. Sheehan gave It as his Impression that the total fond contributed airoximated a million dollars, which would not include money not handled by the committee, but which was contributed to the New York state campaign. Chairman Clapp endeavored v3 obtain certain information concerning the present residence of Assistant Chainrman Hall, who la supposed to have detailed knowledge of the contributions but Mr. Shehann could net supply the information. An Appropriate Hymn. A certain professor of divinity who was spending the summer in the Scottish highlands was Invited to baptize the infant son of the local minister. .When the time for the ceremony arrived the guest gave out for congregational singing a paraphrase much favored on such occasions. "Let us, said he, "sing from the fifth paraphrase, beginning at the second verse, As sparks in close .succession rise. To his consternstion, the congregation giggled audibly. Afterward, asking the clerk what he had done wrong, that functionary replied. "You must know, professor, the minister's name is Sparks, and yonder is his tenth bairn. A Parting Kick. The physicians in a certain, town had agreed that during their Chautauqua assembly they wonld employ a call boy, and each was to pay his share of the expense. This boy was to call any doctor who was wanted without disturbing the speaker, as it was embarrassing to him and looked as if tbey were doing it to advertise without expense So it all went well until the. afternoon, when Strickland W. Gilliland spoke. As he was talking away a certain doctor bad a call from the platform, and be walked out rather ostentatiously. Some of the people who knew of the arrangement laughed or snickered, and the speaker got ItHe said: "Don't laugh, folks. That is the way my brother got bis startAnd everybody roared. A Musical Recommendation. Herman Perlet. the musical director and composer, was recruiting a philharmonic orchestra and had enlisted the services of an Italian acquaintance. Among the instrumentalists he procured was n very old man with an antiquated flute from which he was able to get a wheezy tone now and then. "Take him away! ordered Perlet after the first rehearsal. "He can't play the flute." "What! Thata man can't playa da flute gasped the sponsor. "Not In this orchestra. Take him awayr "Maledettar He rolled his eyes heavenward.
