Alicia's s� Platonics. By BEATRICE BENNETT. Copyright, 1907, by P. C. Eastment. Deep down in her own heart every woman bas a pet.theory. It may have been exploded a number of times to her apparent satisfaction, but secretly and with feminine inconsistency she clings to it. Alicia had such a theory, but she did not keep it buried in so inaccessible dungeon as the bottom of her heart. Indeed, she wore it on her sleeve. it• was her favorite theme of discourse, and the more it was disproved the more persilltently did she revive it and champion it. And it must be admitted that Al men friends at least took particular light in discussing her theories wit her and promptly proceeding to di prove them, to that young woman' outward disgust and secret satisfac- tion. Her hobby was platonics—spe- cifically, platonic love. "It has been proved to me conclu- sively," argued Alicia. with delightful confidence. as flanked on one side by the ample person of Richard Corrigan and on the other by her squatty little dachshund Pretzel she strolled toward the great stone garden seat near the pndlal. Yes," her companion replied in doubtful acquiescence. "to you. But how about the other fellow? Was he convinced?" "Dick, how silly! Who ever heard of • platonic love that wasn't platonic on both sides? How little you know of the subject:" scoffed Alicia with a mirthful little laugh. "And yet I have known you—how long is it?" "Seven mouths," promptly. "And you ride your hobbyhorse at least every other time I see you," he said, not without marked intent. Alicia assumed a wholly unsuccess- ful air of hauteur. "Oh, I beg your pF•don. I'm very sorry I've bored you. • I shall avoid the topic in future," she said distantly. "Not at all, my dear Alicia. I as- sure you it rather amuses me," argued Corrigan. observing her aggrieved at- titude with little discomfort to him- self. "In fact, I don't know when any one subject has kept me interested for so long a time." "Indeed!" The comment was preg- nant with feeling. It was the first time Alicia's self styled philosophy had been so derided, and it nettled her. "I should be apt to accept that as a compliment," ventured Corrigan. He had been watching her pull a crimson rambler to pieces and scatter it over hey tiny white shoes. Apparently she had not heard. "I say, Alicia," he persisted. "When you are ready to open a sub- ject that may be of more interest than any I am able to suggest I shall be glad to talk to you," she said icily. Corrigan smiled broadly, but sur- • reptitiously, Had Alicia seen him thus amused he would have been left with only the crimson ramblers for compan- ions. "But, upon my word, Alicia, I amrin- terested," he said earnestly. "I've nev- er been so absorbed in a study in my life. Why, my dear girl, if It weren't for my -my belief in platonic love I might never have known you so ¶ell." Alicia confronted him with a half smile that, even in its semicompletion, was most attractive. "That's the Irish in you, Dick! You always manage to say something that will make the worst case of 'mad' turn to joy," she said, . removing her big droopy hat find dangling it by the strings. "That's one rea n why I love to be friends with yo ' "Then it is true that G is good to the Irish," he laughed, an , subtle,as it was, Alicia extracted th compliment and beamed good nature n him again. "You see. Dick," she began as if she were commencing a fairy story to an incredulous child, "it is so—well, it is such a tremendous comfort to be just friends with a man." "Yes," said Dick readily, "I'm friends with several." "Silly! I mean for a girl. She can go about with him. ask him to do this and that for her and feel that she la( not putting herself under obligation— if she's only friends with him, where- as, 1f he's in love with her, he expects her to marry him and—and It just spoils everything!" "I'm jolly glad I'm not sentimental," said Corrigan with a purpose if with- out veracity. "You'd have banished me long ago." "You can have sentiment without be- ing sentimental," she hastened to ex- plain." And for some reason or other a flush stained her cheeks, and ber eyes drooped. "It's just as clear as—as mud." Cor- rigan laughed in spite of his efforts to be serious. Alicia's eyes flashed. "See here. Dick Corrigan, I believe la's deo, shat' and secluded, brenjhinero• mance and the fragrance of roses, was ideal—tor platonics, "Alicia," repeated Dick when his first effort gained no response. With stndied reluctance she turned her head. "I'd like to ask a few questions," he said, still somewhat indifferently. "I'll be glad to answer them." The frigidity of her tone moved Cor- rigan almost to the point of turning up his coat collar, but Ms better judgment prevailed. "This old guy, Plato he was be. ginning as he walked toward her, "Dick!" Her glance and tone froze the words, "I'm sorry," he said contritely. "B Alicia, I wonder if he ever knew ost beautiful woman in the world? I wonder if he could have been with ber almost daily for seven Months? Aid yet, no, how could he? He lived B. G."- • • In spite of herself Alicia dimpled. "It was beauty of mind, mental excel- lencies, that he admired," she remark- ed wisely. "Perhaps that's what I admire Is you, but somehow I doubt it," "My mental powers are not wholly to be despised," pouted Alicia. "No. But an ordinary mortal cannot penetrate so dazzling an exterior," observed Corrigan. Alicia looked impatiently across the green. Somehow she was out of har- mony with the afternoon—disappointed in—in herself perhaps. • Corrigan turned to her quite sud- denly. "See here, Alicia, do you like platonic friends better than anything else?" "Yes," she said, but the syllable did not carry conviction. "Better than — husbands, for in- stance?" Alicia's color deepened. Things were more interesting after all. "I never had one," she laughed, and her voice was a little tremulous, "Then it's only theory?" Corrigan stepped closer. "Of course," she replied, looking up into his now earnest eyes. "Listen," he said softly. "Couldn't yon be platonic friends with every one else but me, Alicia?' She did not reply, but one by one the petals of her rose tumbled down her frock. "Couldn't you?" His big voice was vibrant with emotion. "I—I might," she admitted, "but first let me tell you I like you better than all the rest. I like you better than I could a mere friend. I—I just hoped and hoped you wouldn't agree with me, Dick." "It's with Plato I disagree." - Gambling In Metal. Gambling in metal is done by means of buying and selling warrants, these being the notes for specified quanti- ties of metal held in stock. The basis of the gambling is that in many businesses it is often necessary to buy ahead large quantities of metal. When things are slack large stocks ac- cumulate, while as soon as things be- come more brisk the metal Is taken out of the stores. An immense amount of gambling is done in connection with "pig," as pig iron is popularly known. Warrants for pig are made out in units of 500 tons, and payment is made for the warrants once a month. Should a man really want 600 tons of pig iron he obtains a warrant which authorizes him to take 500 tons out of store, and be will be re- quired to pay for the metal within the month. Supposing a man bays in the expec- . tation that he will be able to sell the pig iron at a higher price than is ruling, be buys warrants according to his means, and he has a month for things to mature. Should the price of pig go up during the month he is able to dell his bargain to another man, and he pockets the difference, although he has never laid down any money in real coin. Should things go wrong with him and prices go down, then he is obliged to pay the difference between the price at which he bought the pig and the price at which he Is able to sell it, and so he sustains a loss.—London An- swers. • you are makingn of me. Deep down in my own hear I know from your 1 own actions and your whole attitude toward me that you agree with me. but just to amuse yourself you make fun of me. I'm sure you like me," she went on, "just as I like you, or yon wouldn't seek me out and want to be • with me day after day, as you do. and that—that very fact proves to me that you are in sympathy with my own at- titude. We are friends, and you know it," she declared challengingly. Then she rose abruptly from .the stone seat and walked over to the balustrade with her back toward him. "Come, Pretzel," she said imperatively, as if calling her dog from a contaminating influence. Corrigan began to whistle very soft- ly to himself while the small Dutch dog eyed him accusingly. "Alicia," said Corrigan's -deep voice fondly from the depths of the great stone seat. He had not moved. And right here it might be observed 'that Alicia always selected picturesque set- tior her discourses. The old His Discovery. A one armed man sat down to his noonday luncheon in a little restaurant the other day, and seated on the right of him was a big, sympathetic individ- ual from the rural district. The big fellow noticed his neighbor's left sleeve and kept eying him in a sort of how - did -it -happen way. The one armed man failed to break the ice, but con- tinued to keep busy with his one hand supplying the inner man. At last the, inquisitive one on the right could stand it no longer. He changed hbs position a little,. cleared his throat and said, "I see, sir, you have lost an arm," whereupon the unfortunate man pick- ed up the empty sleeve with his right hand, peered into it, looked up with a sarpris�d expression and said, "By George,! sir,. you're right" Horses and Music. Regimental horses have been the subjects of musical tests, and nearly all enjoyed the experience, only a very small percentage of the animals re- maining indifferent to sweet harmo- nies, while equally few showed active -dislike. The great majority were soothed, inspirited or excited by music. Most of the horses, like the war char- gers one may suppose them to be, en- joyed the bugle above any other instru- ment and neighed gallantly when it was sounded, but thoroughbreds and colts generally were found to prefer the ahriIl treble of the fife, which roused them to great and sometimes unman- ageable enthusiasm. This was the more significant because the fife was an unfamiliar instrument to them, not being generally used, as is the bugle in the French army.—Paris Cor.

Among the types of motors employed In the logging industry are several in- tended especially for use in winter. The problem of transporting loads of loge from the forests in winter has been given much study by inventors, with the result that snow locomotives, as they might be termed, are now to successful use. Although as many as twenty-one loaded log' sledges have been hauled by a motor of this type, its total weight, including water supply, is less than twenty tons. It develops about 100 horsepower with 200 pounds steam .,- Q' 9'.--i Ili tat I_•,''• ..r > " ++" SNOW TRACTION MOTOR. pressure and on a fairly level surface will move a sleigh train at a speed of from three to five miles an hour. It can be utilized in a rough country, pro- vided the snow is well packed down so as to give a fairly smooth surface. There are fourcyinders, attached in pairs, two engines on each side of the boiler and fastened to frame and boil- er in an upright position, as shown. Each pair of engines is equipped with reversing link motion. The traction device consists of two heavy runners, one on either side of engine, carried on a four and a halt inch iron shaft. On each end of these runners is at- tached a pair of heavy boxes in which hammered iron shafts run. Each shaft has a heavy sprocket wheel. These sprocket wheels mesh into and carry the tread or log chains. When the engines are started, pow er is transmitted by a spur pinion on crank shafts to pinions on the front end of the driving shafts. On the rear end of these driving shafts are attach- ed bevel pinions which mesh in large bevel gears running on 4rass bushed quills on main bearing. These bevels also have spur gears attached to them, which carry the power through inter- mediate gears to another spur gear on the shaft to which the rear sprocket is keyed. These r ',Rs are in wide use in Min- nesota 8 L Wisconsin. where one will cover a distance of fifty miles a day. performing a service equal to that of twelve to eighteen tour -hose teams, ADVANCE OF SURGERY. Tranifor of Vital Organs From Lower Animals to Man a Possibility. Medical science is soon to accom- plish the transfer of sound vital or- gans and tissues from the lower ani- mals to man. The substitution of healthy organs for the diseased parts of the human body will be made possi- ble through the new experimental sur- gery and vivisection and will revolu- tionize modern medicine. The success- ful transplanting of arteries from one animal to another is the first step to- ward this end. These are the conclusions drawn by Professor Simon Flexner of the Rocke- feller Institute For Medical Research in a paper on 'Tendencies In Pathol- ogy" written by him for presentation to the American Association For the Advancement of Science and read be- fore the physiological section of the society at the University of Chicago by Professor Ludwig Kekteen of the university. Professor Flexner's paper also contain- ed accounts of a series of experiments 011 rats and mice performed by him• self and bis associates leading to im- portant discoveries concerning the bio- logical conditions of tumor growth. Pathological problems have been enor- mously affected by recent experiments to vivisection, according to the New York scientist - Operations on the/ Stomach. The science of surgery has made some remarkable advances during the past few years. Among other things it has become possible to successfully open the stomach and extract from it foreign bodies that have been purpose• ly or accidentally swallowed. In this operation a small opening is made in the abdomen, the stomach drawn out, an incision made and the foreign body removed, after which the openings are sewed up and recovery, follows with the same certainty as in external oper- ations. Such articles as knives and forks, bars of lead, false teeth, etc., have been so removed. Germany's Field Gun, Great pains are taken by the Ger- man military authorities to exclude all foreigners from obtaining any ac- quaintance with their new field artil- lery, but it has become known that its caliber is 77mm., or 2mm, higher than is usual for field guns. It is of course a breechloading quick firer, equipped with a hydro -pneumatic brake. The Martial Spirit. "When you go into battle," said the human analyst, "do you feel your heart surge with hostility toward the foe or anything that?" "Yes," answered the military ex- pert. "In time of war we feel even more resentful toward the foe than we feel toward our rival associates In time of peace."—Washington Star.

NEW CURE FOR BURNS, Excellent Results Produced by Hot Air Treatment. Baking a patient as a cure for burns is the new method now used in Roose- velt hospital, New York. ,For years sun baths and fresh air have been used with excellent results in eases of unusually had burns, but about four months ago the Roosevelt hospital doe - tors devised a scheme whereby the burned person is confined in a variety of oven and his body subjected to a continuous stream of hot air. This idea, which is a new one to the medical profession, has proved very successful, patients having been cared whose bodies were seared nearly half over, while as a rule when the surface of the . body is one-tblyd burned the case is deemed fatal. This oven contrivance is made of bed- clothes, which are stretched over lat- ticework to keep them from coming in contact with the patient. The heat Is furnished by a common gas stove, which stands by the bedside. On title stove is a specially contrived air cham- ber, much after the fashion of a bot air furnace. Frotn this air chamber a tube runs underneath the bed, sending a constant flow of heated air under the clothes. But as the air must be always fresh the blankets Ile loosely about the patient's neck, allowing ventilation. Fromtime to time the patient is moved to allow the beat to strike all burned parts of the body regularly, while at intervals a special salve is rubbed on the patient. As fast u this cakes from the beat It is removed and a fresh lotion is applied. • By this means many lives which otherwl6e would have been lost have been saved, UNIQUE BATH APPARATUS, Designed to Expel Poison and Im- pregnate Body With Medicaments. A novel bathing apparatus, the in- vention of an Oregon man, ls here- with shown. This portable apparatus was designed to be utilized for incas- ing all of the human body, applying a vacuum about it and supplying oxy- gen to the body from the lungs only. By this method poison can be driven out of the system. It is also designed for use as a thermal or sweat bath and for ltnpregnatlng the body with medicaments. The receptacle is In the form of a huge glass bowl sufficiently large to entirely Incase the human body when sitting and all of the body except the head when standing. It is made of two airtight sections. In the top is an opening for admitting air and another to allow the head to protrude. The patient inhales through the mouth tubes, and the operator, by working a pump and drawing off the air, creates a vacuum which cause* the pores of the patient to open. The poison is thus drawn off from the body through the pores, and the GLASS BATH/710 1ut7SISL system is at the game time filled with fresh oxygen. When it L desired to utilize the apparatus to Impregnate parts of the body with medicaments, all parts of the body are Incased ex- cept the head and the receptacle filled with the .liquid to be applied. Alf pressure is thus forced into the recep- tacle by the pump, which causes the medicaments contained in the liquid to penetrate the skin. The Nautical Knot In referring to the speed of vessels we speak of the number of knots trav- eled. A knot Is a measure of speed, not of distance, and the term comes from the old method of ending the speed of a vessel by means or a three cornered piece of wood with a weight attached to one side to hold It upright in the water. To each corner was fastened a cord, and to the junction of these cords was attached the log !the. This log and line, with a shall eandglass, com- pleted the apparatus for reckoning a vessel's speed. The log when dropped into the water remained where It fell. The log line was divided off by knots, the distance between the knots being the same fractional part of a nautical mile as the time mensured by the sand - glass was of au hour. Therefore the number of knots which ran out in the time measured try the sandglass rep- resented the number of nautical mUes an hour that the vessel was running. For example. if 0 kuots ran out during the time tbe vessel's speed was said to be 6 knots.—Sclentlfic American. Physique of Criminals.
