OUTSIDE OF DIPLOMACY.
FmJ.ng no relief and no possibility
of rcliu to be ob.a.ned through diplo
matic chunnds, various merchants
and exporters of New York have a- I
bandomd any further reliance upon I
the state department at Washington |
and are endeavoring to effect direct
arrangements with the British gov
ernment, through which they hope to
secure guaranties of a lessened Inter
ference with their mails to neutra
countries and with their trade to sue),
countries.
The New York Post, which has sup
ported the administration at Wash
ington, confesses that "there Is some
thing peculiarly humiliating In th'
spectacle of an under-official of the
British ambassy at Washington
coming to New York to discuss with
our leading bankers the question ol
American mails and shipments.” The
Post adds:
"The di3cussion, it appears, had to
do with the expedition of American
mails and the parcel post and th
question of the blacklist. We thoughi
that those subjects naturally were the
sole province of the national govern
ment and the department of state.
We must admit, however, that the
lack of vigor in that branch of the
government in freeing our malls and
other means of communication from a
lawless foreign control has been so
marked as to make not suprising that
private indivduals have undertaken to
do what they can unofficially in order
to Improve conditions. Only recen'ly
It was reported that the British gov
ernment had graciously consented to
turn back to the American owners

taken from the mai)3 and carefully
examined. It was specifically stated
In the dispatch that nothing contra
band whatever was found In these
packages save such deadly articles hs
false hair, false teeth, souvenirs, gifts
etc., and It was added that none the
less Great Britlan will not permit the
sending of these packages to their
destinations. Of course, the owners
may have them for the asking. How

MOTOR CAR CLIMBS FAR UP
MT. HOOD ON CLEATS.
For the purpose of demonstrating
.he hlll-cllmbing abilities of a certain
motor car, a seven passenger machine
was recently driven three-fourths of
the distance up snow-capped ML
Hood in Oregon. The November Po
pular Mechanice Magazine gives an
account of the test, which In some
respects was as unusual as it was
spectacular and interesting. The ear
finally turned back at a point about
six miles from the base, where it Is
said more than a 50-per-cent grade
was encountered. Not far past this
place perpendicular crag3 ani (hep
chasms are barriers to all but mot
.ain climber3. In making the* trip
he car d.d not have to buck against
deep snows, as might be Inferred. It
raveled over u wooden track consist
ing of v'eated boards. As the tar
iscend<al, a gang of eight men p1 :ked
up the track sections over which it
ii.-d passed and placed them ahead
of the the front wheels.
Freim Weisman, a Cleveland shoe
maker. Cleveland, Ohio, argued with
Mrs. Rickie November, a woman of
ample proportions, over 25 cents an I
received a terrific blow on the Jaw for
his trouble. 1

ORCHESTRA IS CONDUCTED
BY MOVING PICTURES
—
At Chicago an orchestra is being i
conducted by means of motion pic
iures instead of a personal director.
While tho Innovation Is little more
than a novelty at present, the Idea
seems to hold splendid possibilities
and therefor* Is attracting attention
and comment. In practice the scheme
works out rnoet satisfactorily.
The system as It Is employed at
Orchestra Hall consists simply of ,
projecting on a screen. In full view
of the orchestra, animated pictures
of a conductor in the act of directing
the rendition of "William Tell," Men
delssohn's "Spring Song," or what
ever composition is to be played.
Obviously, the enlarged picture of
the director is more conspicuous to
the musicians than a man himsell
could be, and It is therefore more
easily followed. Since nearly all
projection machines are motor-driven
it is not difficult to time the reeling
perfectly so thut no trouble Is en
counter! d. In carrying out the plan,
the only change from usual practice
that must be made Is that the musi
cians shift their positions, for on the
screen the conductor faces the aud
ience Instead of turning his back to
it.
