GRILLS THE VIVISECTIONISTS.j. |Advocates of Regulating Animal Ex-periments Ask Operators Some Per*tinent Questions.Protesting against attempts to misrepresentthe nttitude of the Society

For the Prevention of Abuse In AnimalExperimentation, Mr. F. V. Bellamy,counsel for the society, denies thatIt ever proposed the prohibition ofvivisection. The society stands, he

says, upon precisely the platform'where Herbert Spencer, the greatest»'f English scientists, stood when In

| 1S9"« he, with nearly 200 of the most

prominent physicians in England andin this country, signed a statement inwhich lie said:"We believe, therefore, that the

common Interests of humanity and,science demand that vivisection, likethe study of human anatomy in thedissecting room, should be brought underthe direct supervision and controlof the state. The practice, whether innnV»Hf» nr in nrivntp Rhr.nlri hn rpstrW-*"*'. - .

ed by law to certain definite objectsand surrounded by every possible safeguardagainst license or abuse."Mr. Bellamy insists that these questionscall for a frank answer from

those who oppose any such safeguards:Queries For the Doctors.

How can legitimate scientific workby competent men be injured by a lawwhich will limit all vivisection to competentpersons?How can legitimate scientific work

be injured by a law which will compelthe use of anaesthetics in all cases

where the success of the experimentdoes not make the use of anaestheticsimpracticable?If our proposed legislation does not

fully protect legitimate scientific work,why do not our opponents who criticiseit accept our often repeated invitationand suggest some amendmentwhir>h -will fnllv nrotect scientific re-

search?Why the secrecy with which vivisectionis surrounded? Has the disembowelingof living animals, in order to

experiment with their vital organs, or

the amputation of limbs from one animaland attaching them to anotherbecome so painless that the publichas no interest to know what effort Ismade to save unnecessary suffering?Or is the brutality of the whole

thing so hideous or so unnecessarythat the operators do not dare to let inthe light of investigation upon it?We again challenge them to open

the doors of their star chamber laboratoriesand let the truth be known. Inno other way can they quiet the publicapprehension or avert the legislationof which they have such dread.

PIONEER AMERICAN LINENMILLS BRANCHING OUT.

Huge Plant Now Planned Made Neceaaaryby One Year'a Development ofNew Industry.Impressive evidence of the progress

of the pioneer American Linen millsestablished at North Brookfield, Mass.,about a year ago Is found in the plansJust completed for extending the plantBeginning with limited capacity in a

mill that had to be adapted by degreesto the requirements of the Oxford LlneDmills, the business has grown to suchan extent that plans have been drawnfor half a dozen new buildings, ulllarger than the present main mill.The plans call for an addition doublethe size of the present main mill,

a new stock, storage and shippingbuilding, weave shed, "oxolint" factory,bleach house and fiber preparinghouse. The two latter buildings willbe in the center of a quadrangle formedby the other buildings mentioned.All the buildings will be of re-enforcedconcrete. The new weave shed

is to be a two story building, providedwith overhead lighting by means of a

saw tooth roof containing 375 skylights.The power plant will be locatedwell away from the mill buildingproper, all the machinery in whichwill be. electrically operated. A stock

nection with the beginning of theseextensions was aU taken within a

week, largely by original shareholdersIn the mills.The Oxford mill was the first establishmentin the United States to

undertake the manufacture of linenproducts from fiber prepared by theMudge process. This accomplishes in

a few hours the work that abroad requiresmany weeks. Judging fromthe extensions to be carried out by theOxford mills, there seems to be no

further reason to question the immensesuccess of the undertaking.

Turbine Fans For American Dreadnoughts.For the forced draft equipment of

the United States battleships Dela-ware and JNortn juaiiora rweuty-eiguiturbine fans, each 'with a capacity of24,000 cubic feet a minute, have beenbuilt at the Troy works of the Sirocco

i! Engineering company.11 Although only twenty-seven inches

in diameter, the fourteen Sirocco tur|bine fans to be installed on each of

| the United States Dreadnoughts supply336,000 cubic feet of air everyminute to keep the fires roaring under

the boilers of these monster war vessels.It is an enormous output for

J their small size that has led to the1adoption of this type of fan on all the

principal transatlantic liners, In Euro-1pean navies and now by the UnitedStates naval authorities. The fansare built on the same principle as a

steam turbine and consist of a!"squirrel cage" drum surrounded by

j 6ixtj* or more narrow blades.

HE FOUND THE MAN.In my early days I was a reporter os

The Clarion Call. Only a dislike to own

mysulf beaten and the occasional fascinivtlonwhich compensated for the more frequentdiscomfort kept me in the office.But rill this was before tho day I was sentto interview ti-<6 wifo and daughter of theman who bad just disturbed socloty bjdisappearing from it.

Mr. Grey, so It had been learned fromIhe notices concerning his disappearance,had ono evening after dinner gone out fora stroll around the block. Ho had neverMae back. His family was of course

prostrated after the manner of families onsuch gad occasions. Aftor giving himtime to come back, sending to his cluba,his olfico and tho houses of his friends hiawifo had finally told his lawyers, and systematicscarch was begun. The familyhud retire from public lffe and doniedthemselves to every one, consequentlymy chances for an Interview with Mr*.Grey did not see hopeful, but tho city editor'sair of granting me the opportunity1 had been longing for made me loath toadmit my fears.I took the train for the Greys' .they

lived a little way out of town.and preparedmyself to meet the servants' scornand tho other attendant evils of suoh an

assignment. The coaoh was an ordinaryone, and there were several laboring menin it, evidently traveling to some suburbwhoro they were to work upon the ro-ids,for they carried pickaxes and shovels.Thero Bat opposite mo and slightly forwarda peculiar type of man to whom 1

found my gaze wandering overy few minutes.Ills iron gray hair was thick andvery unevonly out. His face was coveredwith a stubbly growth of gray beard. Ht>looked unwashed, unkempt and gonerallyunpleasant. H)9 blue overalls were stainedwith red day and his red flannel shirtopened at the front In a way that revealedanything but a beautiful neok, burnedand blistered. But the man's twitchinglips and convulsive movements of the jawtattracted my attention, and his deep aet,steely blue eyes that burned in cavernoussockets fascinated me. He did not talk totho other men, bu«. «<** with his head sunkQpon his breast, onl> Tc^asionally raisingIt to cast a look about hi.. He, with theother laborers, left the train *. ''orestville,where the Greys lived, and 1 soon saw

them, under the direction of a foreman,assigned to make various road repairs.Of course Mrs. Grey would not see ma

I sat in the library while tho servant tookmy card to her, for thero were other callenin tho drawing room. Over the mantelhung a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey,done in olL She was as beautiful as a

cameo and as hard. Opposite her was theportrait of a clean shaven man, with fineIron gray hair brushed on His forehead.amore plebeian oast of countenance, butstrong and interesting. The face seemedfamiliar. I stared at it until the serfantreturned."Mrs. Grey is sorry, iuies, bub she can

tee no one, and has nothing to say foxpublication.""Very well," said I. Then I rose to go."Is that Mr. Grey?" I asked, nodding

toward the pioture."Yes, miss," was the reply, and suddenlyit flashed upon me where I had seen

those deep set, curiously shaped, keen blueeyes. My heart leaped almost Into mymouth. I took one long look at the por*trait and left the house.The men were repairing the road, and 1

noticed one of the workmen whose faoestartled me. The resemblance to the portraitI had seen of Mr. Grey was remarkable.He worked with a fierce delight Inihe severe labor. Els faoe 6eemed moremad than ever, with tbe exultation of motionand strength deepening the gleam inhis eyes.There was a telegraph office at tbe end

of tbe stroet. I sent a message to the cltjeditor. "Send a man to Forestville atonce," was my command. Then while Ipaced the street and walked about thesquare I reflected upon the welcome Iwould receive if I had made a mistake.Every minute I became mo e and moreconvinced that I had made the most colossal blunder on record. By the time Mr.Ellington Ellsworth, the only man whohappened to be available when my telegramwas receired. had arrived I was

nearly hysterical. I told Mr. Ellsworthmy theory, and ho was properly skeptical.He discouraged me thoroughly in abouttwo minutes, but I suddenly rallied."Well," I remarked, taking command,

*'I want you to keep that man in sight. Ishall go to town and get his lawyer. Findout what train they go in on, and I'llmoet you."Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to aot upon

that suggestion, but ho Anally consentedto do so. I went in, summoned Mr.Grey's lawyer and with him met theworkingmen'8 train. Mr. Ellsworth, look*Ing bored and unhappy, got out and pointedout our suspected "disappearance" tohis lawyer. My heart stood in my mouth.Was I to be forever disgraced or made famous forever?"Mr. Grey," said the lawyer, stepping

forward, "what does this mean?"And when I saw the man start wildly 1

knew that I was not forever disgraced.*

"Well," said the city editor Jovially,riifl tJipv fiflv?"

"Thoy didn't Bay anything. They didn'tsee me."

''So yon didn't get tho intcrviewf" Midthe city editor shortly."No," I replied meekly, "but I foond

tho missing man."And now, such 1b the Irony of fate, the

olty editor, instead of letting me rest on

my laurels, is always exhorting me to livsup to the roputatlon I made In the Grojcase, when I found tho missing man,learned how overwork had worn out bitbrain and bow in bis half crazod conditionhe wandered away and returned tcbia original occupation in life, to the horrorof his wlfo with the cameollke face.
