.«ture’. DOROTHY' DENE, HISMODEL. ' Sir Frederic ‘Leighton’s . Inspiring and Beautiful Subject. . Sir Frederic Leighton, the famous English artist and President of the Reyal Academy, . who died not long ago, had one distinguishing quality. It was the classical parity with which he re- presented the human figure. It is certain that he owed much of his inspiration to Dorothy Dene, ‘a youthful English actress of remarkable beauty of, face and figure, who' long acted as his model. In her he found the best living example of the ideal which he had formed from long study of the antique. A story was current in London that Leighton loved his model and would have married her but for some, obstacle , which was not made public. The as- sociation of a handsome, distinguished, and slightly melancholy man with a model of extraordinary beauty is 'a tempting foundation on which to build a romance. It is very slight, however. Dorothy Dene is as perfect a type of Greek beauty as could be found today. Her form and features would not be out of place in a gallery 'of antique. .sculp 4 She is tall, with long, lithe_limbs,5_ and an exquisitely moulded bust. Her hair is abundant and golden and her eyes a deep violet. Her complexion is of an exquisite smoothness and trw' parent whiteness. Her head, set on a long, but strongly made neck, is almost like that of a hand- some youth. But this impressionis re- moved when you" look into the large and tender eyes. The description of' Hypatia in Kings- ley‘s novel applies with considerable closeness to Dorothy Dene. Her beauty is as perfect in its way as Leighton’s tenchnique‘. . It was un- doubtedly of the greatest value in as- sisting him to perfect the I? Um‘ ~ —v-.

Wandered from His Home in .Kansas and Found by Chance in Philadelphia.‘ His Memory Returning by Slow Degrees. Bis Intelligence Remained. Is it possible for a man to forget his identity, and yet in other ways be rational? . Such a calamity happened to Her- bert 0. Spencer, the son of Selden P. Spencer, of Lawrence, Kan. For four months he "Was in a Philadelphia "hos- pital, where ' he was known as “George Brandt.” 'He did not believe that this was his real name, and yet he was unable to remember who he was, where he had formerly lived, or any single incident in his past life His identity‘was a. secret until Dr Ernest Robinson, who had known him for years, and had sat by his side in school, met him and recognized him. When he went to the hospital the young man, who was well dressed and appeared intelligent, said that he did not know his name, nor did he know where he came from. Two pawn tickets from a New York estab- lishment were found in‘his pockets. They were issued in, the name of George Brandt, andby that name the young man‘Was known. He remained in the hospital contin; uously. For a time the authorities believed that he was shamming, but as time wore on and he was carefully watched this idea was abandoned: The newspapers printed pictures of the young man and told his queer story, but he was unidentified, and it Seemed that he was doomed-to go through life without knowing his real name or any further facts about his youth. Dr. Robinson went to the Philadel- phia hospital for the purpose of tak-~ He met Brandt and at ing a course. He relates the once recognized him. circumstances: , ‘ . “I said, in much astonishment, 'Hello, Ben. What are you doing here?’ “As he looked at me in amazement, I turned and asked what he was do- ing there. They told me he was the unknown man called George Brandt. All this time Bert had not said a word, but great astonishment and in- terest was shown in his face.. He at last said: ‘ don’t know who you are. I never saw you before, but your face does somehow look familiar.’ ‘fI then hadhim take off his glasses, and I recognized the slightest squint he had in his left eye. I also recog- nized his handwriting and his voice. Fortunately I remembered I had a picture of Bert, taken about two years ago, in my trunk. This I got, and ,every one immediately recognized it as George’s picture. Dr. Hughes then came in. He was intensely interested. rBhere could be no doubt of his iden- tity. Dr. Hughes has been so much interested in this strangest of strange cases that he reported the case be- fore the Neurological Society some weeks ago.” Before the father reached Philadel~ phia~ young Spencer had regained traces of his memory. He was able to quote Latin, and said that he could dimly remember“ having “studied it at He said that Dr. Robinson’s face seemed fa- miliar, but he could not remember where he had seen it. He could re- member nothing of his wanderings after he left home last winter until he appealed to the Philadelphia police in March. He had certainly been in New York and pawned' the watch and revolver, and a mark on the necktie he was wearing indicated that he had been in New Orleans. Since he has been taken back to his home in Lawrence the young man has improved rapidly“ Associations with his own family and old friends have had a beneficial efiect on him, and al- most every day flashes of memory come back to him, and it is believed that in time his memory will’be en- tirely restored. FIGHTING SNAPPING T‘URTLES. They Are Long-winded Fighters and They ' Hang on Like Bulldogs; “Fight?” said an old fisherman, speaking of snapping turtles, “well, I should say they do; they fight like bulldogs. 'Sometimes one big snap- ping turtle will sneak up to another, - as close as it can get, raise itself on all four feet, and then snap at the other turtle, getting it wherever it can, by the tail, or- a leg, or by the neck. The snapping turtle has stout, sharp claws, and it has a sharp 'beak, bent over at the end, that looks some- thing like the beak of an eagle. The turtles struggle in a clumsy sort of way, and sometimes they lose their hold and bite for one another. It might ‘be that one turtle would get turned over in the fight,‘ and that you’d see the other one holding him down, with his beak fastened in his throat. ‘ ' “I’ve seen two big snapping turtles fighting in soft mud where a man would sink in up to his knees. The tur- tles had fought and tumbled about and rolled over in, this Soft mud until they were plastered'with it all over. They’d get a grip on one another that neither of ’em would let go, and they’d settle down into the mud, leaving only I. part of their shells above, and they’d men there in this way so long that he mud on'that part’of thelr’shells lad caked hard and dry in the sun. “Sometimes one turtle gets enough, 1nd turns and runs with the other one Tier it. If the one following over- akes the other.lt snaps at it, and if -. gets it, the other turns and they go o fighting again. They tear and .ound. each other desperately, but I .v'r'tfl' knew of one snapping turtle’s mung another. .5 lougll and hard to klll.’,’.. . . :.

ANew Yorker‘s Amazing Combination of Electrical Devices.~ Elevators, Doors and Lights that Act in Response to Dis- tant Hands. ‘ . The nearest approach to falryland exists in New York city. It is the ' home of the President of one of the large exchanges and it is situated on West Seventy-fifth street.‘ ’ In this house it is almost impossible to do a stroke of work or perform a series of concerted actions. Everything is done for you, apparently by magic, though really by electricity. It is probably the most elaborate electrically equip- ped residence in the country, if not in the world. ‘ . The occupants of the house seldom or never walk up stairs. An electric elevator carries them flrom floor to floor andcven up to the private roof garden fitted out with electrical de. vices. No attendant is required .to work this elevator. ‘ It is the perfection of automatic action. A single push button on each landing controls it. Such a thing as the ordinary opening and shutting of a door never occurs in this house. Near every door there is a- push button. Press this and the door slides into the" wall or vice versa. The pressure of another button locks or unlocks the door. Sometimes it is not necessary to be near the dour in order to open or close it. Hanging down beside the beds arewhat is known in electrical circles as “flexi- ble"—bifurcated cords with wooden knobs or handles on the ends. In each handle are four buttons, marked successively Asleep, Awake, S’hut. and Locked.” the first two-buttons sends- a signal to various parts .of the house that the master or mistress is asleep or awake. The bedroom is approached by a long ball or entry way. Lying lubed the occupant of the house can shut and lock or unlock and open the door at the end of a fifty foot passage by merely pressing the proper flexible buttons. Hanging near the bed is another flexible button whiCh'means all kinds of qualified summons to the house servants. ' There is no such thing as groping'in the dark in this house. Every room can-be lighted before entering by press ing a butt-on in the 1:;zll approaching It. Furthermore, you Can light at will _ one or a dozen or every light. in the room and there is also one switch which enables every lamp in the house to be lighted at once. In the kitchen all the cooking is done by the current, and so much of it is done according to new methods that the cook would be practically use- less in an old-fashioned kitchen. When a chick< 1.: has been prepared and placed - in an' cl .‘tric oven it is only necessary to press a button and watch the clock. As the heat is obtained from over- charged wires it is distributed evenly all arOund the bird. Busting is, there- fore, not necessary, and the expert- ness of cooking becomes a more question of time allowance. A leg of lamb, for instance, will require just one hour and ten minutes to cook. Left in the oven three minutes longer than this and it would be overdone. It is not necessary to look in mean-‘ time. The dining room of this house is ex- quisite in tone, the lights shedding a gentle radiance down from the cell- ing. It issaid that the owner even contemplated an electric table which would sink out of sight and its place be rtaken by another after each course had been eaten, much after the R0- man fashion of table removal. The nearest approach in this case, however, is an electric dumbwaiter, large enough to carry a whole dinner course. It is but one remove from the other idea. The dining table abounds in call bells. The master of the house can give a private signal through the floor by means of a foot push button. The ov‘vner has tried rto enjoy some of the delights of ordinary activity by becoming a‘photograp'h fiend, but here the modern destiny of “the mansion has pursued him and his private studio is “electric.” Arc concentrat- ing lamps enable the owner to take pictures day and night, and there are electric developing processes on which he experiments.‘ He, has even had Wires run underground from his cellar. , plant to the houses of his business partners and for "his father-in-law on the next street. He supplies them with lightning current. Itis not apparent that there are any electric hair curl- ers or electric cigar lighters in the house, but there. is no reason ‘why they should not have been concealed in some out of the way corner. In short, if there is a genius ‘Of domestic- electrlcity abroad it would "probably select this house 'forjits residence. The Means-of Victory. K The party of. _hlgh~'browed women was singing gladsomely, when a man who had the appearance of nothing to do. approached the street corner on which they stood. _ ' “Might -I inquire the occasion, miss?” he asked of the first woman whose attention he could attract. “We have just erected a fountain with‘free ice water,” she said. “We are trying to overthrow the rum- seller.” ‘- “Miss,” said the seedy man, in a voice that was fairly husky in its earnestness, “the way to git away wit’ the rumseller is not by free ice water, but by openln’ a free beer fountain; That will kill ’im deader’n a mack- erel, an’ don’t y‘ou forgit it.” ' v.‘ Miss Scruggs—Yes, ongge.~ when ‘I was out alone on a dark night I. saw a man, and,-oh, how I ranl-r, 7, Little, Willie—And did-you catch him, Miss‘ScraggsZ . . , . i .
