;dsa in The minds Of many young peo-
ple that there lives a man son rev. heIe
who will give 81, 600 for 1000, 10Y can i !,
celed postage stamps, In replying 70
a vouthfuf correspondent The syria,
c,se Herald says; This Cancelled
hostage stamp myth, for such 1t must
really be called, has been current
among American Juveniles for nearly
twenty years In many househoias
throughout the land it is believed 10
as unquestioningly as the Hindoo ae-
yotee believes in Brahma or as the
Mahometan in the prophet oil Allan,
Somewhere there is person eager r
and willing TO pay 81, 900 for ,O0o, 600
cancelled stamps, and in many places
Industrious collectors have been en-
gagged in the fond endeavor TO gather
IN the necessary 1000, 900. No one
has ever stopped TO inquire the mean
ing of /, 900, 600. or to figure for mo
ment how long time i would take axe
for one person to collect l,ooo.ooo
can enterprising youth in search
Of stamps would think If he got ahun-
bred q day he would be getting q
great prize, and yet at that rate y
would take him nearly twenty eight
years to gain the coveted million.
Suppose he could collect 1000 q day
every day In the year, il would still
occupy nearly three years OF his time,
and then it would take nearly as long
time TO count them out to the person
paving the money for them, and there
would be very little time left either for
eating or sleeping, much less dong
ANYTHING else in the way OF daily du'
ties. Thus it may be seen how foolish
the idea is that, with great industry, a
million stamps could be collected in
many years and then recounted TO a
purchaser. And yet it seems like
something that could be accom-
plished.
"a few years ago pleasant story
went the rounds of the papers telling
how some young person, eagerly de.
sirous of obtaining this 81, 900 for his
education, went the rounds OF the
business offices, told his needs and
gathered up all the stamps in innum
erable waste baskets. In this way he
obtained 1000, 600 of stamps, and, as
the story goes got the $1,000. But i
one critically examines the tale it will
be seen what an impossibility it is.
To sever the stamps from the envel,
opes, to count and bunch them would
take a very large amount of time. The
most Industrious worker could not
possibly do this work at the rate of one
stamp a minute, but supposing he did
do this, it would only be at the rate
of sixty an hour, or about 600 a day
for an ordinary days work. AT that
rate it would take nearly five years to
count them. Then, if they had to be
counted again to the purchaser, il
would take another five years.

Primitive Telegraphs.

As is well known the Indians of our
continent use rising smoke to give sig
mails to- distant friends. A small fire
is started, and, as soon as it burns
fairly well, grass and leaves are
heaped on top Of it. Thus large col
umn of steam and smoke rises. By
covering the fire with blanket the
rising of the smoke is interrupted at
regular intervals, and the successive
clouds are used for conveying mes
sages. Explorations in the Congo
basin have shown that the system of
drum signals prevails throughout cen
trail Africa. The Bakuba use large
wooden drums, on which different
tones are produced with two drum
sticks. Sometimes the natives ''con-
verse" in this way for hours, and from
the energy displayed by the drummers
and the rapidity of the successive
blows, it seemed that the conversation
was very animated. The Same use of
drums is found in New Guinea. From
the rhythm and rapidity of the blows,
the natives know at once whether an
attack, a death or a festival is an
nounced. The same tribe use columns
OF smoke or lat night fires to convey
messages to distant friends. The lat
ter are also used in Australia. Col.
umns of smoke Of different forms are
used for signals by the inhabitants of
Cape York and the neighboring isl.
ands; In Victoria hollow trees are
filled with fresh leaves which are
lighted. The signals thus made are
understood by their friends. In east
ern Australia the movements of a
traveller were made known by col
umns OF smoke, and SO was the discoy.
