14 PULSE AND POETRY. RELATION OF VERSE TO HUMAN ORGANISM. Experiments Being Conducted to Dis cover Law of Connection Between Stress in Metrical Compo sition and Heartbeat. Berkeley, Cal. —A remarkable set of experiments to determine the relation of poetry to human organism is being conducted in the experimental psy chology department of the University of California by Prof. James Main Dixon and Dr. \V. S. Wrtneh. These experiments, which were begun some time ago, are i;. a field heretofore un explored by psychologists. They are al' an exceedingly delicate nature, and the university at. Berkeley is one of the few institutions in the United States which possess apparatus sen sitive enough to record the results of the work. Prof. Dixon has already discovered an emotional curve in poems like Tennyson's "The Bridge." Experi ments are now being conducted to dis cover a law as to the relation between stress in poetry and the beat of the human heart, and the relation be tween the lines of poetry and the respiration. A large number of tests have already been made, and some provisional conclusions have been ar rived at, but before the law is fully determined Prof. Dixon thinks it. will be necessary to record the singing of the Doxology or some other song by a whole congregation. In securing the records to be used In drawing this general conclusion, Prof. Dixon and Dr. Wrinch use an exceedingly complicated machine that records the "pulse beat of the person receiving the poetry, the stress, the number of lines, the respirations and the time taken. All these results are recorded on a smoked record and can be preserved. Prof. Dixon, who is a noted English j scholar and author, and who is here i doing research work, will present a: thesis on his work for a doctor's de- | gree. A great deal of interest is be- I ing taken by scholars in the outcome j of his researches, and his technical ! lecture before the Philological club giving the results obtained thus far. In speaking of the experiments, Prof, i Dixon said: "The work we are doing now deals ! with the expansion and contraction of lines of poetry, according to the sub ject matter, whether it is happy or sad. An emotional curve has been discovered in poems like Browning's 'Abt Vogier' and Tennyson's 'The Bridge.' Perhaps the most remarkable manifestation of the law discovered was found in Tennyson's 'May Queen.' It was shown that the three divisions into which the poem is divided vary in a most decided manner. The first, giving a mood of heightened happi ness, uses 11 per cent, more syllables than the second, which is in a mood of utter depression. The third divi sion is in a mood of resignation or sorrow, and uses three per cent, less j syllables than the second." J The results thus far obtained have been sent by Prof. Dixon to the Royal j society, at Edinburgh, of which he is a fellow. A further examination to find aj norm in all poetry—that is, why some lines should have eight syllables and I others 15, and why the lines of 151 should break in the middle with a caesura—has been undertaken. It is ! also Prof. Dixon's purpose to deter- i mine what a line of poetry is psycho logically. Experiments with the pulse and throat seem to show that a tetra meter verse of our common hymn "Doxology" gives a norm. For every pulse means a stress and every line means the time between respiration. An experiment with the hymn, "Rock j of Ages." comes out regularly l(i pulse beats and 10 stresses, four res pirations and four lines. Before he finishes, however. Prof. Dixon intends to record the singing of a whole congregation on a phono graphic record, and see if the law iiolds for great audiences, as well as for individuals. By these experiments f'rof. Dixon will seek to draw sharp ly the line between poetry and prose At present it is almost impossible t tell the real difference between the poetry and prose. If poetry is a di rect appeal to organism, it has a di rect connection with breathing and the heart action, and the connection ts to be minutely determined. EATS 73 BUCKWHEAT CAKES Winner of a Unique Contest at Sharon, Pa., Rewarded with a Fine Bit of Pastry. Sharon. Pa.—What is undoubtedly the long-distance record in the buck wheat cake-eating line is held by As sistant Postmaster Joseph L. Roberts, who won by one cake in a contest re cently conducted under auspices of Dr. S. S. Gilbert. Roberts defeated Paul Gilbert, secre tary of the York (Pa.) Wall Paper com pany. His record was 73. while Gilbert was able to stow away only 72. The contest was held at Dr. Gilbert's home, and it kept two cooks busy pre paring the cakes. Dr. Gilbert dropped out of the con test after he had eaten 48. and his son, Joseph, fainted when he tackled No. 50. This left but the two contestants, and the tournament ended as stated above. The cake, a big prize, was awarded to Roberts. A Close Second. With a record of 13 killed and near ly 300 injured, the football season passes into history as a good second to the late Fourth of July. TRANSPORTATION OF MAILS Annual Report of Assistant Post master General Shows Large In crease in the Service. The annual report of W. S. Shallen burger, second assistant postmaster gen eral, shows that the annual rate of ex penditure lor all inland mail transpor tation service during the last fiscal year was $07,931,430. Tot his i« added $2,510,- 053 for foreign mails. The largest items in i he postal transportation figures are the star routes, which number 18,74:!, ag gregating 233.392 miles and an annual rate of expenditure of $39,177,377; rail way post office car routes, numbering 284. with an aggregate of 52,037 miles ami an annual rate of expenditure ot° $5,518,234. and railway mail service (of ficers ami clerks), 11,444 in number, in volving an expenditure of $12,095,437. The number of miles traveled per an num by all classes of routes of mail transportation in this country, among which are star routes, railroad routes, siwcial office routes, mail messenger routes, etc., aggregates 505,585.520. In Hawaii thestar route and mail mes senger service at the various ports is now so arranged as to connect mail steamers at any time, whether thesteam ers are running on regular schedule or at irregular intervals. To indicate the large increase in the volume of mails carried by the railroads it. is pointed out that the expenditures for railroad transportation and railway post office cars during the four-year period 1902-05 was $42,458,140, an in crease of over 17 per cent, over the previ ous four-year period, while the revenue of the postal service was $139,781,794. an increase of over 40 per cent, over the previous four-year period. The report says it is evidently the de sire, of the American people to send parcels of small average weight abroad, and that our rates of postage favor this practice. SACRED EVEN IF DRUNK. Queer Privilege Claimed by German Officers—Privates Punished for Protecting a Girl. Berlin. —A German soldier does not possess the right of self-defense against attack by his superior. This aihazing decision has been handed down in a case just ended at Dessau. The facts in the case follow: Sergt. Heine, who was drunk, entered a public dancing saloon and insulted two girls who were in the company of two soldiers named Guenther and Voiglit. The girls appealed to their companions for protection, and the sol diers protested to Heine, who drew his sword. He made a drunken lunge with the weapon and slightly wounded one of the girls. A violent scuffle ensued, during which Heine was disarmed and felled to the floor. Guenther and Voight were arrested for striking their superior officer. In the trial the prisoners' counsel contend ed they acted in self-defense. He de clared it permissible for soldiers to de fend their honor and life, even against a superior. "Nothing of the sort," responded the prosecuting counsel. "Self-defense is a conception that does not exist in the relations between soldiers and their superiors." Counsel for the defense asked: "Must a soldier allow himself to be unresist ingly slaughtered by a superior officer?" "Yes," the prosecutor replied. The court, however, partially dis sented from this view. A soldier wheae life is endangered mijihi parry, although he must not strike a counter blow. The prisoners each were sentenced to five years' hard labor, in addition to which they were dismissed from the army and deprived of their civil rights. Heine was sentenced to three months' im prisonment for assault. HINDOO MEDAL TALISMANIC Brings an American Doctor Costly Presents and a Lucrative Position. Kittaning. I'a. —Dr. G. A. Flower, of this place, lias returned from St. Louis mystified, but covered with presents. He has also proposed to move to Ir.dia within a year to become a private physician to Rajah Tipo Sahib—a dig nitary of whose existence Dr. Flower was in complete ignorance until some days ago, when he was confronted with the rajah's courier in St. Louis. Eleven years ago, while at Chicago attending the world's fair, Dr. Flower was instrumental in saving the foot of a young foreigner who had been trampled on by a camel. The lad, who appeared to be a Hindoo, pressed on the physician a medal and took iu exchange the physician's card. Some weeks ago Dr. Flower was sent a copy of a western paper, in which his name was mentioned. Would he call at the Indian embassy at St. Louis, bringing with him a medal which was given him lor services at Chicago in 189:'. by a young native of India? The doctor hunted up the medal and hur ried to St. Louis, Ihe advertisement re quiring that he should be there be fore November 24. The Kittaning physician was at once handed presents from the new rajali Tipo Sahib, who. it seems, was the lad whose foot he saved at Chicago. The Indian digni tary proposed thai the American doc tor would accept his poor presents, and would come to India to live as his prl vate physician. The presents amount tw about SIO,OOO. Dr. Flower will go to India in April. Remedy Worse Than Disease.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1904. A SKKIILKSS APPLE. GROWN BY COLORADO MAN AND EXHIBITED AT FAIR. Much Like the Jonathan But as Solid as a Potato —Trees Said to Be Almost Immune to Frosts and Insects. St. Louis. Mo. —That it is just as easy to grow an apple without seeds as it is to grow an orange is demonstrated by John K. Spencer, of Grand Junction, Col., who had an exhibit of seedless ap ples in the Horticultural building al the world's fair. The variety, as yet not technically named, is much like the Jonathan. Experts have examined the apple and have pronounced it a wondei. 11 has been the desire of apple raisers for years to produce a variety without seeds. The core of an apple takes up a goodly portion of the bulk, and the husks surrounding the seeds are disa greeable when taken into the mouth, not being easily dislodged if caught in the throat. The strange thing about the Spencer apple is thai it is absolutely without seeds or even cells. All the way through the meat is of the same firm ness and Juicy quality. Placed in another orchard, however, i where bees are gatheri-ig stores, it is sometimes the case that a speck of • pollen from blossoms in the orchard | containing the "seed" apples may be I deposited by an insect in one of (he "seedless" buds. | The result is a solitary seed in the j heart of the new wonder in pomology. I This is without core or even the usual husk, proving that the seed of an ap | pie has no relation to the fruit, ex j cept from the standpoint of germina tion. neither the flavor nor texture be ing in the least affected. Nobody knows exactly how Spencer perfected his seedless apple. It was j done by a series of grafting or bud i ding, the intermingling of varieties, j until the desired result was attained, j All that anyone has been able to find : out from the originator is that varie ; tics were crossed and recrossed, the ones containing the least number of seeds being used in experimenting. But why apples containing a mini mum number of seeds, should, by be ; itig budded, produce a variety absolute ly seedless is what is puzzling •pomol ogists. A peculiar feature of the Spencer pomological wonder is that the trees do not blossom. A conical-shaped bud, dark green and very compact, makes its appearance, assuming shape of the apple without opening. This. It Is claimed, renders it almost immune to frost or ice and makes it impossible for moths or other insects to deposit their e?gs. as is easily done when the ordi nary tree is in bloom. WILL DISCOURAGE TRAMPS. Authorities of New York Town Will Endeavor to Keep City Free from Road Wanderers. Hornellsville, N. Y—Chief of Police 1 Mickey has adopted what he intends to be effective methods to prevent tramps making this city one of their stopping off points. has issued a request to all resi- I dents to refuse all requests for assist- 1 ance unless they know the applicant personally and to be deserving. The po- j lice have been ordered to arrest at once all men found on the streets who can not give a satisfactory account of themselves. The railroad officers are watching all freight trains coming into the city and the hoboes coming in are not allowed - to leave the railroad property and go ! into Ihe city. The police will temper this severity with reason and unfortunates who reach the city at night and are without funds to receive a night's lodging will be cared for at police headquarters and allowed to continue on their way the following morning. Should they return the second night 1 for lodgings they are considered 1 vagrants and sentenced the next morn- : ing as such. LEASES CHILD FOR $5 A YEAR Resident of Rock Grove, 11l. r Turns Over Daughter to Learn House keeping- for Seven Years. Freeport, 111. Grace A. Bolander, a nine-year-old girl, binds herself to i serve a seven-year apprenticeship to : the housekeeping art. and will take her j lessons from Jacob Lauck, according j lo a unique paper thai has been filed I with the recorder of Stephenson coun- j t.v. Grace is the daughter of Frann ! J. and HaU.e E. Bolanuer. All the parties to the agreements are residents ! of Rock Grove. In the paper that has been placed \ on record the girl binds herself to I serve in the Lauck household until she i is 1t; years old. During that time she > is to "serve her master faithfully, hon- ; estl.v and industriously, to keep his ' secrets and obey his< command."

SOCIETY GIRL A HOUSEMAID Philadelphia Heiress Takes a Place as Servant to Cook and Do Other Menial Work. Philadelphia.—Miss Marion Honey man Wood, a member of the city's j most exclusive social circles, a former j hospital nurse and actress, is at pres | ent engaged in a new venture, and the | set in which she moves has been given | a new theme for conversation. She is donned the costume of a housemaid, j and is serving in that capacity for ; wages at the house of her cousin. Miss j Louise Wood, an artist. She has held j this place for the last five weeks, and | the matter has been kept, secret from [ most of her friends. Members of her family—she is a daughter of Edward Randolph Wood, declined to give any , information about Miss Wood's pres i ent venture. Miss Wood spent the summer with i a theatrical company in Canada. This organization failed, and the young woman who had aspired to histrionic honors, returned to her home. While serving as a. trained nurse in the | Pennsylvania hospital she learned to j cook, and this work is included in her I duties at the Kittenhouse street home. ; She wears the usual black, tight-fit | ting costume with'a small apron and cap of white. She has light hair and blue eyes. On every afternoon ex ! cept Thursday she acts as hallmaid and lakes Ihe cards of callers at the door. She also makes herself otherwise useful about the house. She says she likes the place, and, although the pay is not so good as that received by stars on the stage, she intends to con tinue as a maid until she has an op portunity again to take up the life of an actress. Miss Wood says she is very happy, and is not thinking of giving up her place in spite of family pre/tests. She grants, however, that with all its drawbacks, stage life is preferable. BLIND BOYS PLAY FOOTBALL Three Members of Kentucky Team En tirely Sightless—Opposing Play ers Required to Yell. Louisville, Kv. —The latest addition i to ihe list of things that the blind can | enjoy is football. Last summer the sightless wards of the state of Ken tucky organized a baseball team and played many exciting games. This year football was "adapted" for the blind boys, and the other morning they played a tie game of 10 to 10 at straight football against a team that could see. The game was taken up about a month ago and soon the students had perfect ed a code of signals and mastered the principle of guards, back tackles and buck formation. For their backs they selected the boys with the best vision, including several who have a fair measure of sight in one eye. Their quarter backs soon acquired such apti tude in passing the ball that fumbles were reduced to a minimum of fre quency. The center, two guards and one of the tackles of the institute team are en tirely blind. Most of the members of the team can distinguish an opponent by the color of his sweater The only regulation laid upon the opposing team is that the quarter back shall call "pass" when he puts the bail in play. At the cpeniug tne iull back of ihe opposing team kicked off deep into the territory of the blind asylum team. Kognen, captain of the blind boys, caught the ball, called to his men to form their interference about him, and plunged 20 yards down the field, run ning low, swiftly and with utter fear lessness. FISHES WITH ELECTRICITY. Pole Seeks Patent on New Time-Sav ing Device —Bell Rings on Ap proach of Fish. Berlin. —The Berlin patent ofiiee has had some strange propositions pre sented to it, but never a more eccen tric one than that just handed in by a Polish inventor living here, who lias already invented a number ol useful machines or modifications of others al ready existing. This time Poienvsky, the Pole in question, asks for a patent on an apparatus which he nas just per fected. It consists of what he calls a tele phone fishing device. A microphone and detonator are submerged, but at tached by wire to the ordinary tele phone in the house of the person who desires to do his fishing in this way. A group of fish pajs at a certain dis tance from the microphone, which, un der the influence of the water's mo tion, causes a ring at the telephone bell in the house. Thus warned of the presence of fish, the "fisher" leisurely turns on the detonator by pressing an electric button, whereupon the iish, suddenly electrocuted, rise dead to the surface. Poienvsky explains that he does not mean this to replace the sport, of fish - ing: it is intended for purely commer cial use in seaside cities, where res taurants will find it saves time and is more convenient than the old-fash ioned method of fishing immortalized I by Izaak Walton.

NEW YORK BOY MAY BECOME WORLD S GREATEST TENOR. Is Nineteen Years Old and the Son of a Saratoga Blacksmith Lad Can Reach High C With out Effort. New York. —At the Metropolitan Opera House singing school there is a young American pupil, and neither | Heinrich Conried, manager of the i opera house, nor Mine. Jaager, di rector of the school, will be greatly I surprised if in a few years the world i recognizes the pupil as the greatest ! tenor of the time. I The voice belongs to a husky, hand j some boy of ID, Romeo Fenton. He I comes from Saratoga. The lad's brief j history reads like fiction rather than : fact. He is me son and grandson of j a blacksmith. His mother is a devout | woman and an excellent housewife. So far as anyone knows the boy harks back to no musical genius. When he reached high school he caught the attention of the singing master and became the show boy singer at the school entertainments. He grew rapidly and in cnildhood his bulk distributed itself over a big frame. He stands six feet in his socks, has shoulders as broad as Pol Plancon, and a chest as deep as Edouard de Reszke. He has big. deep blue eyes, wavy brown hair and a complexion of the kind women sometimes try to buy in shops. If he attends to business, and doesn't get a swelled head, he will probably be chosen as one of the six or eight picked from the school each spring to go abroad with Mme. Jaager, visiting France, Italy and Germany, and spend- I ing the summer in study at Mine. Jaa j ger's home in the Austrian Tyrol, j Mme. Jaager's son said about young | Fenton: "The boy has an unusual voice. It is a most, natural young voice and of beautiful quality. When he opens his mouth a stream of melody seems to flow from his throat. He sings B flat now, and is sure togo above high C with training, and that note is as high as the greatest tenors sing. I have known the beginnings of some of the greatest tenors, and young Fenton has a much better voice fo begin with than they. I "It is literally true that he starts with no bad singing faults. If he keeps his head and devotes himself to hard, conscientious, intelligent work he has a great future. But all the singing possibilities of the future do not appeal much to the boy's father. When anything like a career is men tioned to him he replies: 'That's all very well. The boy can try it.for awhile down there in New York, but the place for him is at home.'" THIS MULE BIGGEST EVER. Comes from Missouri, of Course, and Bears the Weil-Known Name of Folk. Philadelphia, Pa. —For an hour the other day Broad street was all but blocked by a crowd of several hundred men that had gathered about a mule thai stood in front of the Betz build ing, placidly gazing over the heads of ' iho turong. The mule, which had jusi been pur- i chased by Yare Bros., is believed to I be the largest animal of its kind in the ! world. It was born in Missouri seven years I ago, weighs 1,900 pounds, and stands j l'J hands, or 7 feet 11 inches, high, and has been on exhibition at ihe world's fair in St. Louis. It was there that Senator George Yare first saw the animal, and it did not take the senator long to decide that Folk, as the mule is called, in honor of the governor-elect of Mis souri, was just what he wanted for work on the South Philadelphia boule vard. Folk had won blue ribbons at the fair l'or size, weight, strength and gen eral conformation, and came high, but Senator Yare had made up his mind to have him and the purchase was made. The mule reached here, and about noon the other day it was driven up Broad street as far as Ihe Betz build ing. where it was admired by hundreds of Senator Vare's friends and ac quaintances. The mule is so large it cannot get between the shafts of any ordinary vehicle, so it will be used as a "lead" for the horses that are working on the boulevard. Tails in Disuse. Columbus.—The state board of char ities makes a commendatory report upon the morals of the villages of Hollansburg and Webster. Darke county, as secured from information given by the board of visitors of that county. When the members of the Hollansburg jail wanted to inspect that prison the town constable was unable to open the lock, as it had be come so rusty from long disuse. At Webster the key to the "lock-up" could not he found, and the oldeFt In habitant did not l.now who kept it. Had Better Save It.

KEEPS COW IN HER PARLOR Buffalo Woman's Home Also Houses Her Pigs, Goats, Bogs, Chick ens and Children. Buffalo, N. Y.—Dr. William B May, an inspector l'or the health depart ment, and Detectives Condon and Shook, under orders from Capt. Ward and Health Commissioner Greene, in vestigated a case of unsanitary living the other day, which they say is be yond belief in this age of unlimited soap and water and rigid sanitary reg ulations. The case was at the seawall at the foot of Michigan street, in the house of one Ludwig Staronski. The house is a small frame dwelling of three rooms. Dr. May's report am the conditions in substance is as follows: "The premises were in the most unsanitary condition possible. Adjoining the house on the rear is a small summer kitchen. In that apartment was a closet in which a pig was quartered. The improvised sty was so narrow that the animal was unable to turn around. In the front room, what might be termed the front parlor, was a cow. "While we were on our tour of inspection," said Dr. May, "two goats dropped into see what was going on. The stench was unbearable. Four dogs comprise the rest of the menag erie, not to mention the numerous chickens which were allowed to roam at will around the house. We were informed that eight persons, includ ing some small children, lived in the small rooms, along with the cow, the pig, the goats, the dogs and the chickens. "As it was a violation of the health ordinances to keep a cow within the city limits without a license," said Dr. May, "I informed Mrs. Staronska that she would have to dispose of the animal. That she promised to do. She also said she would kill the pig within a few weeks, it could not be learned that the Staronskis sold any of the cow's milk." PENSION LIST INCREASING. More Than a Million Names Added to the Roll, and More in Prospect. Washington.—-The pension roll ot the United States has reached the high water mark, now containing 1,000,81 names, an increase of more than 4,000 since June 30. In his last annual report Commissioner Ware stated that the pension rolls then car ried more than 997,000 names. That was in June of this year. For the first time in history the pension roll is above the 1,000,000 mark, and it will be further enlarged as a result of the operation of order No. 78, the issuance of which precipitated a par tisan debate in congress last winter. Adding to the rolls thousands of vet erans who were previously ineligible is not the only effect of the rule pro viding for old age pensions. An nouncement is made unofficially that on account of the falling off in work in the pension bureau, due to order No. 78, it will soon become necessary to dispense with about 500 clerks. Many of these will be dismissed, and some given appointments in other departments by transfer. The age rule will have another eftect more l'ar reaching and widespread. There is a pension board of medical examiners in nearly every county in the United States. Under order No. 78 a veteran is placed upon the rolls immediately upon application when he reaches the age of 02 years. This, of course, ob viates the necessity of medical exam ination, and hence will result in a re duction in the number of boards. HEADSTONE FOR HORSE. > Lover of Steeds at Le Sueur, Minn., Erects Marble Shaft Over Grave of Pet Animal. Le Sueur, Minn.—George M. Tons ley, of Le Sueur, is a great lover of horses, and his love for them takes a different trend than is usually the case with horsemen. He cares not particularly to use or drive them, but merely to have them in his owner ship, and see that they have a good time. He has a very large farm adjoining Le Sueur, and on the farm he has a drove of horses that roam about the broad acres practically in a state of nature, wild and untrammeled. They never do any work, and are not even broken. He has about 18 of them in this condition, and several of them are seven years old, but never had a strap on them. For several years he had a favor ite horse, old Prince, who lived to be 25 years old, was raised by Mr. Tousley from a colt, and died in har ness one day. Mr. Tousley buried the faithful old horse not far from his house and set up a marble headstone over the grave. Tramp Is Wealthy. Detroit, Mich. —Otto Ganz, a trani?>, was arrested for begging on Grand River avenue the other day. Police men went through his clothing and nearly fainted when they found 1.400 shares of western mining stock, tiOO shares in a salt works, deeds to 13 lots in New York city, and $11.G5 in cash. Ganz claims he came to De troit from Columbus, 0., but declined to give a history of himself. He was sent to jail. It is believed he is mentally unbalanced, and may have wandered away from home.
