MEETS HUSBAND IN COURT
AFTER THIRTY YAERS
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.—A
man and his wife met in a Brook
lyn court for the first time in
thirty years and probably for the
last time, as Supreme Court Jus
tice Maddox announced that he
would grant an annulment to the
man, Isaac Levy of Brooklyn. Le
vy’s W'ife had come from Worces
ter, Mass., to testify. She was
living there under the name of
Eleanor Moore.
Levy related that in 1886 he
went to Atlantic City with his bride
a young woman known to him as
Mary Evans. In the corridor of
the hotel he mentioned his hap
piness to a chance acquaintance, W.
H. Pollock. The latter recollected
he had a wife in Worcester who
to his way of thinking had not
treated him properly.
With further confidence the two
men became aware that they were
wedded to the same woman. Levy
left without saying good-by, but
wrote his bride a letter by way
of explanation. Pollock died a
few years later in Texas.
Mrs. Levy offered no opposition
to the suit. She admitted marry
ing Pollock in 1884, but thought
he was dead when she married
Levy.

HOW THE WALL PAPER
AFFECTS .AIR WE BREATHE
Surprising as it may seem, the
condition of the walls,, whether co
vered with paper or whitewashed,
has an important effect on a room
and its ventilation.
This was proved by some recent
interesting experiments with two
rooms. The walls of one room
were covered with a light paper
which had become somewhat soiled
by the lapse of time. Those of the
other were whitewashed.
The results of the experiments
showed that the proportion of car
bonic acid remaining in the air was
appreciably less in the room with
the whitewashed walls. Taking in
to consideration not only this, but
the amount of humidity and all the
other factors, the ventilation of
the whitewashed room was found to
be 17 per cent better than that the
one with paper on the walls.
Other parrallel experiments were
made to ascertain the effect of dif
ferent methods of ventilation. One
pair of experiments shows the ef
fect of opening wide and closing
the door once every half hour dur
ing a seven-hour period. The ven
tilation was improved about 10 per
cent by this periodical opening of
the door.
Other sets of tests compared the
effect of taking the air supply to
the gas stove from the corridor
with taking it from the room itself.
The supply of air to the gas stove
from the room itself was tried,
improved the ventilation by about
20 per cent.
.In other tests the effect of open
ing the window flap while the gas
stove took its air supply from the
room itself was tried, with the re
sult that it was found that the ven
tilation was thus increased by
74 per cent.
Finally, a series of tests was
made in which the vent pipe in the
ceiling was opened. This was
most effective, the ventilation be
ing increased two and one-half to
two and three-quarters time and in
one case even five times. Obviously,
this increased ventilation must af
fect the humidity of, and propor
tion of carbonic acid in, the room.
Scientists believe, however, that
these tests with the open vent pipe
have not much pratical significan
ce, as there is usually no provision
for ceiling ventilation in living
rooms.

GIRLS TRYING TO BE “MAINLY”
(Pittsburg Dispatch’
“One of the hardest jobs in my
life" said a stage manager who is
drilling a chorus to wear men’s
clothes, “is teaching girls to act
like men. The first thing a girl
does, when she gets into men's at
tire is to put her hands into her
troi^sers pockets. She thinks it
looks manly. And so it would, if
she did it naturally. First of ail she
thrusts her hands down as far as
they will go, and she proceeds to
spread out the pockets of her tro
esrs until it looks as thouh she had
a four-pound loaf in each.. She
thinks that is pust what a man
would do, though I’ll bet she has
never seen him do it. Well, when
I have drummed into their heads
that men don’t go about showing
the size of their pockets, but let it
be known occasionally that they
possess hands. I have got to teach
' them how to walk. For some rea
son or other girls when they get a
pair of trousers on they never get
tired of admiring their feet, which
look smaller, somehow, than when
peeping beneath a skirt. Having
informed them that a man doesn’t
spend all his time looking at his
toes, I beg and implore them to
walk across the stage ‘just like the
men do’ Is there anything easier?
You’d soon find out if you watchr
ed those girls. A doezn or so will
start as though they were enter
i ing from a footrace, crossing the
| stage in about 10 strides. Others
| will do the same distance in 20, 30
I or evn 40. One will take short
jerky steps averaging three to the
yard; another long strides; a third
something between a hop and a
skip. Not one of - them can walk
like her brother or her father, or
like any man that was ever known.
I get them to follow me about the
stage and endeavor to imitate my
walk, but it's a tough job. They
can’t get out of walking with a
wiggle, and it's my belief they
think it adds to the attractiveness
of pedestrian exercise.”

NARROW ESCAPE
OP LATOUCHE MEN
(From Valdez Prospector)
Passengers on the Northwestern
from Seward this morning report
that two Latouche men had a nar
row escape from drowning or per
ishing of cold and starvation as a
result of the storm which swept
this section of the coast recently.
It appears that a fox rancher,
J. W. Flemming, had left his Is
land in company with a native, to
take a number of foxes to the
Green Island ranch, when their
little boat was caught in a storm.
They were unable to breast the
waves and were carried out to sea.
After being at the mercy of the
cltmems for nearly twenty-four
hours their boat was carried by
the tide to Montague island where
it was thrown on the beach and
smashed.
Flemming and his companion
were without food or means of
Making a fire and lived on clams
and whatever they could find on
the beach fomearly a month. In
their search they came across the
wreckage of another boat from
which they constructed a raft and
when the storm moderated they
hoisted a sail and crossed to La
touche island and reached home a
few days ago after their friends
and relatives had given them up as
lost.
The men are reported to have
been frosted and otherwise show
that they suffered intensely from
their hardships.
