DON'T TICKLE THE CELLIST
Happening at Detroit Shows the Un.
wisdom of That Particular
Form of Playfulness.
One should never tickle a cello play
er in the ribls, espelially if he Is a fa
titous one(- sich its lhillp Abbas (of the
Detroit Symphiony orchestra, remairkis
the Detroit News in a recent issue.
Graham iharris, second violinist, did.
and It almost cost liii a lot of trou
ble, to say noth-Ing of a new violin
bow.
The story came out when Hlarris
filed a suit for $100 In justice court
against Abbas. It was a story of ten
peraient and teinper and the trouble
arose ut rehearsal. Ossip Gubrilo
.witsch, director, was away for a few
inuinutes, and the temperamental ones
indulged In a few muoments of play
boy, not music. IHarris reached his
violin bow over and tickled Abbas, In
the ribs. Abbas does not care to be
tickled in his ribs and he swung a
wicked cello how to demonstrate that
he (d not care for tickling. There
w :1p and the second violInist's
best how was a mess and a wreckage.
"Ah, ha," shouited I Harris. "You
have broken my how. You shall pay."
"Shan't,' shouted Ahbas. "Your
own fault. You bud no business In
toy i-lbs." They gla red and then tle
director appeared and the light was
dropped. It was taken up again via
a justice court suit. It Is helieveid that
the suit never will be heard. The or
chestra manager heard about It first-.
Hle got tile toen together, scolded,
fumed, argued, coaxed and at last
won. They shook hands. The dai
age was settled. And harmony of
both sorts reignel.
RETURNING TO SAVAGE DAYS?
Feathers, Furs and Jewels, Now So
Popular, Are Reminiscent of Our
Early Ancestors.
Glimpses of present fashions and
views of sone shop windows lead to
the impression that the world is, after
all as some commentators say, revert
ing to the savage, remarks the New
York Evening Sun.
Women are wearing more and more
feathers in their hair and more and
more large and ornate Jewelry upon
their hands anild In their ears. Men are
showing a deilded Inclination to orna
ment themnselves to the linit of their
purses In these days of the high cost of
clothes, and altogether anthropologists
tell its it is not such a very far cry
from the adornments of present-day
civilization to that of the Nearanthaler
man or the Garden of Eden itself.
The fashions of last winter showed a
predilection toward furs such as the
world has never seen since the days
when they weire worn raw. Both mien
and wonmen wore them.
In milder ellinites women seen to
be wearing less and less. The stage is
noteworthy in respect to the unclothed
feminine back and certain sections of
society seeiin to follow the stage. Fish

MATERIAL THAT RESISTS ACID
New Substance, Duroprene, is Said to
Be Adapted to a Wide Range
of Uses.
'Recent acid-resisting materials in
clutde such notable products as silicia
ware, iron rich in silicon, inonel imetal
and various other alloyn. Not least
Interesting is duroprene, obtained by
the chlorinatiptn of rubber, and resist
ing reagents that readily attack rub
ber, such as o.one, nitrous and nitric
acids, hydrochloric acid, etc. Describ
lug it to the Liverpool section of the
Society of Chemical Industry, Mr. A.
LaMble stated that it can be ob
tained in the solid state as a white
amorphous powder. It is soluble in
benzine and coal tar naphtha, carbon
tetrachloride, and trichl orethylene, but
the ordinary varnish is a 10 per cent
solution in benzine and solvent naph
tha. This varnish dries quickly, leav
Ing a colorless, transparent flum. The
very thin film his been imersed for
days it caustic potash, caustic soda,
tamonia and the mineral aclds-hy
drochloric, nitric and sulphurle-with
out sign of decoinposition, and it is
quite insoluble in alcohol, ether, petro
leIum oils, and parnlin. Being also
highly Insulating and very adhesive.
<luroprene is adlapted for a wide range
of uses. It serves as anti-corrosive
varnish or paint, for lining steel pe
troliumin tanks, and woodei alcohol
vats, for hllIlling up electrical con
deonsers, as colorless lacquer for bright
metal work, nni( as a ga.tight cement.
