Find for Autograph Fiends. The visitors' book at the Hotel Ma jestic or the Hotel Astoria, nt Paris, Is an Interesting record of the signature? of well-known men. Nearly everyone who Is anyone has written his name Id one or the other and besides being e proof positive of the universal Illegibil ity of the writing of celebrities the books would he worth their weight In fold to autograph fiends. It has been suggested that when the conference Is over and the various Tirltlsh, French, United States, Italian, Siamese, Jap anese, Itusslnn, O.oolio-Slovnk, Polish, and other celebrities scatter to their own places, the hojjka might be put to auction, a page nt a time, to help to defray the expenses. There's no such thing as a Jinx to Americans. TRUTH OF CLOCK'S SOUNDS Real Reasons Why Large Timepiece la Always Considered to Be Saying "Tick, Took." Why do we always regard a clock ns saying "tick, tock," and not "tick, tick," like a watch? Is thene really uny distinction between the alternate sounds, or Is It a mutter of psychol ogy? Attention to the problem has heen given by an Investigator, whose conclusions ure most Interesting. The general opinion, according to him, has always been that It was mere ly a matter of chance whether the "tick" accompanied the left and the "tock" the right bent of the pendu lum or vice versa. The first Impor tant discovery this authority made was that the "tick" always marks the mo ment when the pendulum reaches tho extreme point of detonation itpm the perpendicular on Its beat to tp,rlght. while the reaching of Its swing' limit to the left Is marked by tho "tock" In pendulums of all lengths. He found that owing to the fnct that the anchor of the escapement mechanism Is above the rotating escapement wheel and In tho some plane with It, the conditions under whleh Its arms strike the cogs of the wheel nro not the same for both nrms. Ono of the nrms of the nnchor strikes n cog of the wheel moving up ward, In a direction opposed to that of the anchor, while the other arm strikes against the cog while It is moving downward, nearly In tho same direction as the anchor. The result of the unequal conditions under which the two arms of (he anchor engage tne cogs or tne eseapenieiir wneei is naturally an acoustic difference In tho sounds produced by the contact of the parts. To Thick somewhere around l&'tfl a mini culled M. fhahert. better l.i as "the fire king." and those n of the things he did to prove lift Inhuman and a marvel in T,nnlm begin with; he swallowed 4(1 grn'ns of phosphorus, which Is quite enough to kill two good-sized men, nttd after that he sipped oil at itflO degrees, and lived long enough to rub a red-hot fire shovel over his tongue, face und hair, and then lived some more. Some few years later, on a cballeae of $2.10, he repeated the feat, won the wager and threw In a few aiore like stunts for good measure, lie swallow ed a piece of burning torch, for In stance, and then, costumed In course woolen, entered an oven nt 880 de grees, sang a song and cooked two dish es of beefsteak. Standard Theatre Saturday, July 12 New Delicious Fruits. There have been found In the Phil ippines two fruits entirely unknown to Europe nnd even to America. One of these Is the durlnn, which grows on n lofty tree somewhnt resembling nn elm, Is about as large as a coconut, has n slitny shell nnd contains a creamy pulp which combines some of the flavors of delicious custard with I those of n flue cheese. American sol- dlers In the Philippines have dubbed ! the durlnn the "vegetable llmburger." The other rare fruit Is the nuuiKosteen.

Salad making is an art and through the combination of vegetables, fruits and other foods one may express artistic effects. We all have a natural longing to find some new nnd (ttchlng way to serve the ordinary foods. Almost any thing may be combined to make a salad, yet we would avoid the foods that do not harmonize as we avoid inviting to our tables those we know are not congenial to our friends. Carrots, potatoes, turnips and such vegetables lire usually cooked before ualng In a salad, yet a most appetiz ing dish is one with fresh grated ear rots ..mixed in on ordinary vegetable 'satydyiud served with French dress Infjstlf o stomachs are able to dis pose of the cellulose In vegetables fleli is uncooked, we need not wor-rj- about uncooked starch, for that Is Taken care of without trouble, our dietitians tell us. Where a salad is to provide the main dish, food value should be the first consideration. The arrangement of a salnd Is a most important feature as well as garniture. Who has not refused a good and wholesome salnd because of lis unattractive appearance? The per fection of . combination and flavor amount to little If tfle snlnd has been carelessly prepared. When such linn vegetables as po tatoes ore used in n snlnd the dish Is much better seasoned when marinated for an hour or two with some simple snlnd dressing which will penetrate the food. Green plants such as lettuce, cress and parsley whose charm lies In its erlspness should be kept well chilled nnd served nt once after the dress ing has been added. The small red radish Is one of the most charming of garnishes to use, thinly sliced or In the form of a tulip by cutting through the skin to form the petals. Robert Burns. Burns Is the singer of songs as Im mortal as love, pure as the dew of the morning, nnd sweet ns Its breath; songs with which the lover woos his bride and the mother soothes her child, and the heart of a people bents with patriotic exultation; songs that cheer human endeavor and console hu man sorrow and exalt human life. We cannot find out the secret of their pow er. Until we know why the rose Is sweet or the dew-drop puret or the rainbow beautful. we cannot know why the poet f the best benefactor of humaulty.
