Useless.

f proceedings.
“Over In Trenton a few weeks age
I fixed up a horsewhipping scene.
The first part of the set was easy
enough to get. It was a scene in a
restaurant, in which a pretty girl,
seated at a table a little distance away
from another table at which a frolic
some man with a homely wife is din
ing, falls to making goo-goo eyes at
the man.
“The second scene, In which I ar
ranged to have the horsewhipping take
place, took place outside the restau
rant. We’d got police permission to
take the pictures, and I had two or
three men stationed in front of the
restaurant to keep tire crowd back
while the phony horsewhipping was in
progress. ■
“Wheu everything was ail set and
the machine was snaDoinz awav at the
homely wife laying the lash across
the face and shoulders of the flirta
tious girl—the lash looked like ratian,
but it was a phony, and didn’t hurt
at all—our troubles began.
"First a big vannigan of a man
•lammed In and grabbed my homely
woman by her lash-wielding arm,
bawling that he didn't believe in see
ing no woman stinging another wom
an like that, and that queered one set
• of fllma. The machine had to be
stopped while the big buttinski was
being informed that the thing was
only a tableau, and that he didn't
belong to the picture.
"He took the gibes of the crowd sour
ly, at that, and looked to be in so
much of a mind to kick our gear to
pieces that I had to get a cop to walk
him down the street
"When we got all set again and the
horsewhipping of the flirtatious girl
was once more going on a scrawny
hatchet-faced woman, who had just
Joined the outer circle of the crowd,
and who wasn’t up to what was com
ing off, rushed into the scene with a
shriek, grabbed my two acting women
by ftie hair, and started in to rough
house them both for their ‘indecency
in fighting on the street,’ as she yelled
at them. The machine had to be
stopped again.
"The incident as f Ira.i framed It
up didn’t call for anything like that.
I had it arranged that after the whip
ping had proceeded for a space the
guilty husband of the homely wife
was to rush in and attempt to sep
arate the cwo women, when his wife
was to turn on him with the lash, caus
ing him to skiddoo down the street.
The girl with the goo-goo eyes was tc
seize the whip from the other wom
an's hands and start in to get hunk
for the cutting she’d received, the
scene ending up that way."
DETHRONING OF ALCOHOL.
Being Brought About by the Mod
ern Spirit of Scientific
Research.
Another potent factor in the dethron
ing of alcohol haa been the spirit oi
Bcientia.' research of recent years, says
an Open Letter, in Century. In the
gr£at laboratories scientists have been
carefully studying the effects of alco
holic liquors upon the various organs
of the body, and, although they differ in
their conclusions upon some points, the
result is that those physicians who lire,
most closely followed these inv -stiga
tions have, almost or entirely, abjured
alcoholics as a necessary part of their
therapeutic outfit. These elaborate
studies of alcohol have convinced main
that the nourishing and strengthening
properties formerly (scribed to alcohol
ics existed only in the. imagination, and
belong to the errors of an age which had
no facilities for accurate observation.
The food qualities of the grains and
fruits, it is now believed by many au
thorities, are destroyed in the process of
making alcoholic drinks. Even the
"■ ^ stimulating qualities ascribed to alcohol
are denied by many, who class it among
the narcotics because of its depressant
effect.

was little fishing, not nearly so good

the early days and penned up in a

MADE APOLLO COME DOWN
Didn’t Belong- to the Union and the
Household Help Was “Sym
pathetic.”
The cook had struck. The coach

The maid had struck. Everybody had
struck, relates the Chicago Record

, great inau heard a confused murmur
. j outside. It become louder, Increasing
; to a horrible din like unto that pro

j his name shouted above the awful roar,

i ventured to a window,
j ' “People.” he cried, “why have you
! struck? What do you want? I have
i tried to deal fairly with you. What is
j your grievance?”
i The coachman, who was acting as
; leader of the crowd, stepped forward,
i saying:
i “We were ordered out by the head
i of the Teamsters’ union.”
“What has the Teamsters’ union
to do with me or the way my house
is run?”
"You have a statue of Apollo in yohr
hall.”
, “Yes. It is one of my choicest pos
j sessions'. It is a great work of art.
; I am very proud of it.”
j “You must pull it down and have
i it thrown out of your house before we
can return to work. We have our
orders from the president of the
Teamsters’ union.”
j “This is preposterous. What has
my statue of Apollo to do with you
l or your duties? And where does the
Teamsters’ union come in?”
“It seems,” the coachman replied
“that Apollo and Phoebus were the
same party, and it’s reported on good

non-union driver. We’ve got our or

MAN WHO WASHES CLOCKS
\ .
One of a Few Engaged in This Sin
gular Business in United
States.
"I’ve been washing the faces of the
city clocks nigh on to ten years. I
guess," said a pleasant Scotch-Irish
American, according to the New York
Post, ‘‘and before that I did it in tha
old country. There aren’t many face
washers in this land.and the few who
know the business do well at it.” He
looked prosperous iu his tweed suit
and derby hat.
"Is your work anything like that of
the steeple-climber?” he was asked.
"Bless you, no,” he replied, with
twinkling eyes, much amused. "Only
in one thing, and that is that mostly
sailors take up with the trade. That’s
because we’re good climbers, you know.
I’ve w'ashed the faces of city and
church clocks that were 180 feet from
the ground, and it took me tw’o and
three weeks to do it. I'm a practical
clock repairer, too—have to be, you
know'—and do my w'ork in a huge
wooden cradle made for the purpose.
Some clocks get their faces dirty in
a year or so; others remain clean ten
years, and so on. Old Ben, West
minster's great clock, is expected to
keep clean 15 years.
“In the old days the trade was more
dangerous. We used to work from
scaffolds and got many dangerous falls
Now' wre have the cradles, and all the
fixings and comforts, and if a man
keeps his head he can work as well

that’s hard to figure, for we work by
the job. We don’t cleau clock faces

summer to last the year around. Of
course, sometimes the clocks are taken
out of their cases and repaired in the
shops. Last year I cleaned 2,000, and
visited only two other cities. Chicago
and Boston. This year I'll make more
because the building operations have
grimed the clocks and given our trade
an increased demand.”
Gases Penetrate Glass.
With liquid air performing feats and
doing jobs for the scientific and in
dustrial worlds, gaseous glass is per
haps not amazing. Glass, the renown
ed experimentalist, M. Berthelot, has
roved permeable to gases at nigh
temperature. At. temperatures below
its melting point glass has been as
sumed impenetrable by oxygen, nitro
gen and carbon monoxide and dioxide,
but between 5S0 and 800 Centigrade
glass tubing has shown itself permea
ble. This passage of gases through
slightly softened glass is compared to
the gaseous exchanges taking place at
the ordinary temperatures through the
walls of India rubber tubing and the
Importance is emphasized of this prop
erty of glass hitherto unsuspected in
many chemical and physical investiga
tions at high temperature.
