Embarrassing Position. '
Washington.?The War Department
officials have been placed In an em-1
barrasslng position, It became known
recently, by a request from agents of
' the French Government for assistance
of the Department's Ordinance Bureau
in perfecting the smokeless powder
now used by the French Army
and Navy. A series of unexplained,
disastrous explosions In the French 1
magazines aboard ship and ashore 1s
said to have led to this request, which
is quite unusual in view of the consistent
efforts made by most Nations
to protest the secret of their powder j
preparations.

was caused by a terriffic storm which

Mexico City.?The American ambassador,

protested to the minister of foreien j
affairs against further anti-American |
demonstrations, but as vet no answer

Italy Swept By Storm.
Rome. ? A terrific storm raged;
throughout Italy and in many places i
the country devastated and crops de-1
etroyed. It is accompanied by remarkably
cold weather for the time I
of the year, the temperature in Rome
falling below sixty degrees. Such
weather in the middle of July has not
been recorded in Italy since the year
1313, when superstitious people attributed
it to the repetition of No. 13.

NO GAY WIDOWS LIVE HERE
When Husband Dies In Madagascar
His Wife Is Subjected to Many
Cruel Treatments.
There are no gay widows In Madar
gascar?not, at least, for one year
after tbe husband has died. In Madagascar,
on the death of any man of
position, on the day of the funeral the
wife Is placed In the house dressed all
In her best clothes and wearing her
silver ornaments, of which In general
she possesses a considerable quantity.
There Bhe remains until the rest of
the house have returned from the funeral
As eoon as her relatives return they
begin to revile her In most abusive
language and tell her tliat it is ner
fault that she hg# been stronger than
her husband and that she is really the
cause of his death. They proceed to
tear the ornaments from her ears arid
neck and arms and give her a cloth
and a spoon with a broken handle and
a dish with the foot broken off. Her
hair is disheveled and she ie covered
with a coarse mat, under which she
remains all day long and can only
leave at night. And she may not speak
to anyone who goes into the house.
Neither is she allowed to wash her
face or hands, but only the tips of
her Angers.
All this the Madagascar widow endures
for a year, or at least for eight
monthe, and even when this is over
her time for mourning is not ended
for a considerable period.
Tho last straw consists of the fact
that she Is not allowed to go home to
her own relations until she has been
Arst divorced by her husband's family.
Florence.?The annual report of the
Florence city schools has just been
published, and in accordance with a
resolution of the public meeting. Superintendent

paper.

TRULY A VALUABLE HOUND
Visitor From Costa Rica Telia 8tory
Which Some People Might Find [
It Hard to Believe.
At last the existence of the banana)
hound has been shown to be a fact!
not only knows all about the banana!
hound, but has a drove of them himself.
The gentleman Is Hezeklahj
Spottiswood, and for many years the
owner of a banana plantation In Coeta.
Rica.
"Is the banana hound a new discovery
up here?" he asked in surprise.,
"My word, how singular! Why, we at*
1 ways have them. They are a very essential
adjunct to a banana plantation;
Indispensable almost, I should]
1 say. What Is the breed? They ar?

American tapir.
"It's a very necessary thing to know
when to pick the bananas from the*
trees, you know. When they have attained
a certain shade of green, then
is the time. Now it's very difficult tohave
a man so thoroughly up in color
that he can determine this matter.
That is where the banana hound:
comes in. He trots the groves with'
a man behind him, and scentc th?
bunches which should be picked. H?

a long moan, which sounds familiar to
the siren at Sandy Hook. Then h?

tail.
"The scent of the hound Is unerring.,
It has never been known to fail.

1 DEATH FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
Cessation of Life Is Due to Contraotion
of the Fibrils or Muscular
Fibers of the Heart.
WTjilo every one knows that an electric
shock, if powerful enough, will
cause death, there are very few who
I know exactly the cause, and from a
, description given in a recent English
( magazine, quoting an authority on the
subject, the whole matter is simple.
Death produced from electric shock,
, says this magazine, usually is the result
of contraction of the fibrils or
muscular fibers of the heart, or of
| paralysis of the respiratory organs.
While doctors have been unable to
find any treatment that will cure the
former, artificial respiration often
overcomes the respitatory paralysis.
The effects of direct and alternating
currents vary with the current
strength, the duration of contact and
the path through the body; and with
alternating currents low frequency
usually Is more dangerous than high.
The lower animals are more susceptlble
to electric shock than man, dogs
1 often being killed by a direct current
of 70 volts. In the average man a direct
current of 100 volts is scarcely
felt, 200 or 300 volts give rise to muscular
cramps, while 520 volts will stop
. respiration suddenly. _ ,
