Italy's Queen Establishes One to
Benefit Earthquake Sufferers.
BUSY HIVE OF INDUSTRY.

brian Children—Storief of the Dis
aster.
It is impossible to enumerate the re
lief committees of all kinds, each with
a practical object, whicb have been
formed in Rome for the benefit of the
earthquake sufferers in southern Italy
and Sicily. Queen Helena, who is per
haps the most useful of all the agen
ties of relief, has had the heavy furnl
ture removed from three big rooms ot
the royal palace, putting in tables, sew
ing machines, forty or fifty work bas
kets, chairs and nothing else. Here la
dles of the oldest aristocracy and work
girls are gathered together in friendly
Intimacy, cutting out and sevftng as
though their lives depended upon fin
ishing.
The queen Is as busy as the rest ad
vising and directing, even giving les
sons and taking a hand herself. This
goes on practically all day until 5
o'clock, when tea is served for an hour.
At these divertisements the great lady
and the modest sewing girl associate
as equals, says a special cable dispatch
from Rome to the New York Times.
Indeed, they almost change places in
giving Instruction.

WE ENDEAVOR TO
LEAD WITH
Fof
OUR generations
American scien­
tists, technicians, men
of affairs, men of leisure,
have chosen the HOWARD watch.
The first HOWARD was brought
out in 1842—the only American
watch. It had to prove itself the
finest practical watch in the world
—had to stand comparison with
the work of the foremost European
watchmakers.
Every How aid it adjusted in iit tate, priced
at (he factory, and printed ticket attached—
from $ .oo to 150.00.

i ner, delighted. busy and important,
rutting out and making dolls' clothes
for the poor 111 tie Calabrian children.
They have been promised that if they
do these well lljey shall soon be pro
noted to mak':r?r baby clothes. Then
their cup of pride will be full.
The way in which the queen came to
establish this ^live of industry was
quaint. She called a little dressmaker
that her maid patronizes to order some
children's clothes and saw her person
ally. In the midst of the conversation
the dressmaker remarkjed that it was
difficult to carry out so large an order,
as she had joined a society of sewing
girls, established to devote a certain
number of hours every day to making
clothes for the refugees, buying the
material out of their own pockets.
The queen was impressed and in
vlted them to the Qulrtnal, promising
the material if they would give the
Idea, which was enlarged into the
present organization. The queen 1b
righ^ In her element and was heard
to observe, "If the cause were not so
awful these would be very happy days
for me."
No wonder she was at. Messina "oar
lady of mercy."
During the sewing in the royal work
room many stories are told about the
earthquake. The little princesses
were particularly interested in follow
ing that of on old woman, appearing
about 100 :.vir.4 old. who refused to
leave the ruin* without her little treas
ure and was no obstinate that she
had to I.-?ft to her fate. Another

keep them both alive. At last all be
came so weak that they could not lift
their (leads, but they were all alive
when rescued, having given warmth
to one another.
Several children taken from the ruins
on the first day. when hunger was
not so pressing, cried and kicked until
their favorite dolls of toys were found
One youngster was fund still clasping
a Teddy bear in her arms.
Queen Helena in describing some of
the pathetic incidents of bar visit to
Regglo said:
"In one sunny street not a single
building remained Intact, though the
facades of the buildings remained
standing. In these houses the living
and the dead wefe mingled. In them
were hunureds of corpses, besides
many Injured persons who were pen
ned in small spaces under the debris
or held down by timbers or stones
that rested upon legs or arms. Yet
upon the standing walls in many
places were cages containing canaries
entirely uninjured, which sang and
warbled joyously. The contrast pre
sented was terrible.
"The very day that I saw these ca
narles and heard the cries of impris
oned persons under the ruins I visited
MeSSlna, where a young woman bereft
of her reason stood upon a heap of
ruins singing and bowing to an au
dience composed of corpses. The wo
man proved to be the singer Gemma
Perugia, who had gone mad from grief
and who imagined herself at a cafe
chantant."
Send Them Home at 1.
A new club recently opened on Eu
clid avenue, In Cleveland, O., has a
house rule that all members must be
out of the building nat later than 1
o'clock and the place closed up at that
hour, excepting, of course, special oc
casions.
"And what's the reason for a 1
o'clock closing ordinance?" somebody
asked.
"Reason enough," replied a member
of the houHe committee. "No man has
aiy license to be away from his fam
ily any later than 1 o'elock."

Woman Said She Visited Wales Thrioe
While Remaining In St. Louie.
Mrs. Jordan W. Lambert, wife of the
millionaire chemical manufacturer of
St. Louis, recently related one of the
most remarkable stories of psychic
phenomena ever told. She said she
i journeyed to Wales from her own
home three times to bind up the in
jnred arm of a boy hurt In the slate
mines there. She also gave him money
for the relief of his needs. This was
In United States coin, and the boy ex
changed it at the steamship offices in
London for English coin. The ex
change was proved in London later,
i All of this time Mrs. Lambert was
in her own home and she thinks en
tirely conscious throughout. She her
self relates the experience, prefaced by

Kansas Professor Experimenting
With Explosive Gases.
ONE CAUSE OF EXPLOSIONS.
Mine Disasters Can Be Prevented,
Erasmus Haworth Believes, by
Eliminating Carbon Monoxide, a
Deadly Deoxidized Gas—Most Ex
plosions Due to It, He Says.
What causes explosions iq, mines
that have been tested and are suppos
ed to be absolutely safe? Professof
Erasmus Haworth, head of the geo»
logical department of the University
of Kansas aud state geologist, lias
|een experimenting for the last three
months in Kansas mines and has
reached many interesting conclusions.
To aid In farther experiments a bill
appropriating $3,000 wa$ recently iti
troduced In the Kansas legislature
Professor Haworth believed It would
be passed.
"It's the big problem cf the coun
try," Professor Haworth said the other
night at the Union depot in Kansas
City. mine explosion has become
so common that a hundred or more
lives have to be sacrificed before the
public will pay any attention to it. It
Is noticed, too. that (lie ^plosion gen
erally occurs in mines that have been
carefully inspected.
"Lust summer I came "io the conclu
sion that we could make experiments
in Kansas just as well as elsewhere.
The laboratories at Lawrence offered
excellent opportunities for currying on
the work. We have been experiment
ing as to every conceivable way that
an explosion could possibly occur, aud
the results of our experiments will be
received with interest all over the
United States."
The problem of financing the experi
ments caused the Kansas professor
some worry at first But mine owners
became interested. The Central Coal
and Coke company of Kansas City
alone contributed $500 for the experi
ments when Professor Haworth ex
plained his plans. Then some funds
which had been appropriated for geo
logical experiments were added to the
subscriptions of the c^al companies.
That made enough to \pet utloiis.
Professor C. Young of the geological
department was sent to the Pittsburg
coal fields. He collected coql dust,
coal gas In bags, marsh gas, natural
gas and all forms of gas that contain
ed explosive elements. Experiments
demonstrated beyond doubt that car
bon monoxide is the cause of most ex
plosions.
"The queer thing about It," said
Professor Haworth, "Is the fact that
no one has noticed the effects of this
deadly gas in mines. At the mining
congress in Pittsburg last December I
was unable to find any scientist who
realized that carbon monoxide might
be the cause of the great disasters.
Carbon monoxide is a deoxidized gas.
At I-awreine we have found that the
gas will explode when a current of air
strikes the cavity in which it is con
fined.
"The importance of the discovery
cannot be overestimated, for I'm con
fident that fully two-thirds of the ex
plosions are due to this gas."—Kansas
City Times.
Medals For Canat Workers.
Medals of bronze manufactured from
the old scrap left by Ferdinand de
Lesseps In his unsuccessful effort to
dig a canal across the isthmus of Pan
ama are soon to be struck in the mint
in Philadelphia to be presented to all
American workmen on the present
canal operations who can show a serv
ice record extending over two years.
Correspondence toward this end has
been conducted for some time, and it
Is expected the medals of honor will
be ready for presentation In 1909. The
