Electric signals for Army scouts.

Briefly. the scheme is this. The scouts
or signal officers carry in their knapsacks
six small iucandescent lights Of the diff
ferent primary colors. These are con-
nected by very fine wire with q small
battery in the knapsack. Attached 10 the
small globes that inclose the lights is
very small oval electric motor, operated
by an independent battery. When one
scout wishes to communicate with an
other he sends one globe high into the air
and then turns on the electric fluid that
illuminates it. BY the use Of the differ
ent colored globes and by combinations
conversation Of any length can be carried
on at night at long distances. The inven.
ton will be patented in Europe, and an
effort will be made to introduce Ii into
the difference European armies, as well ak
into this country. Philadelphia Press.
CONTRAST IN Business Methods.
Americans commonly have a mistaken
idea as to English business methods. The
typical American, alert, enterprising, full
Of snap and 20 is apt to try al things by
his own standard; and that fest leads him
to consider the average Englishman slow,
unprogressiye and sluggish, satisfied with
prevailing conditions, whatever they may
be, and not to be reused TO any attempt
to change them-not, indeed, perceiving
any reason for changing them. The diff
ference, however, is one Of methods and
not Of results The conservatism Of the
Englishman is not unprogressiyeness, FOR
he aims at the same point that the Ameri.
can does, and, to use slang expression,
she gets there just the same Indeed, he
gets there in better form, for although
not so rapid, English methods are safer,
qnite as sure, and their results more per-
manent than those developed under Amer
team high pressure. The Haberdasher

Strawberries AND SOCIABILITY

STRAWBERRIES AND S0CIABlLlT1
The summer meeting of the Eastern
Ohio Horticultural Society was held up
or the fair grounds at Barnesville on sat
urday afternoon last. The attendance
was not as large as usual, from the fact
that the berry growers were in the midst
of fruit picking, which is just now at
high tide. and for the further reason that
the Pleasant Hill Farmers Club was in
session at the same hour in the Bundy
neighborhood. However, quite goodly
number Of the best farmers and fruit
men, with their families, assembled in the
FloralHall and partook of a sumptuous re-
past of strawberries of every variety and
in seemingly inexhaustible quantities
accompanied by ice cream and cake.
The feast at an end, the audience col
lected in the grand stand and were ad-
dressed briefly by the invited guests
Capt. Farrar, of Cambridge, expressing
thanks for the courteous invitation and
kindly welcome, and Hon. A. L. Nickel
vey, of st. Clairsville, presented some
practical thoughts suggested by the meet
ing. He urged upon the society the i'm
portance of making display of our hor-
ticultural products at the Columbus Cen
tennial Exposition that would be eredlta-
bic alike to the society and the county at
large. Hon. Samuel Hilles spoke approx
ingly of the proposition, and thought with
the cooperation of active and successful
fruit growers IN other townships dis
play could be made that would not be ex-
celled by any county in the State. Where
upon a committee consisting of James
Edgerton. Hon. Samuel Hilles, Samuel A.
Lewis, c. H. Arick, and Judge John ).
Cochran were appointed to arrange for
the horticultural display of Belmont coun-
ty. A valuable paper upon Progress IN
Horticulture" was prepared by the Presi-
dent. James Edgerton, read with good
effect by Miss Taylor, of Barnesville, af-
ter which the meeting adjourned.
Among the distinguished visitors from
abroad was ex-Representative Lyman, OF
Medina county.

THE case of Leavitt cS. Hanlon & Co.
libel. was tried in the Common Pleas last
week The plaintiff recovered $3.50
The action grew out of a publication il
a newspaper of defendants, accusing the
plaintiff of driving up to saloon in the
town of Hendrysburg, with young lady
of Barnesville, and having beer brought
out to them, which they drank.
A cloud of witnesses were in attend
ance, and considerable bad feeling engen
dered. The publication was a mistake
and the bringing of suit another.
