1t is not generally known that on
an average about 500 messages are

between the hours Of 10 and II. AL
though half an hour is considered a
fair allowance for the delivery of a
message within the city, messages
are sent to London and replied to
within four minutes. The result of
this wonderful service is that the

Manufacture of Dxestnfrs,

Few instances of modern industrial
growth in any one speciality are more sur
prising than that of the manufacture of
artificial dyestutfs. In England, France,
Germany and some other countries, but es-
pecially in Germ any, this industry has OBJ
tanned such prodigious growth that in
some cases the extensive works resemble a
small town or village. This appears from
the published statistics of one of these
plants, where are employed some 1890
workmen, fifty foremen, nine engineers,
besides eighty-six clerks and fifty-seveu
chemists.
The works cover an area Of I26, 900 square
yards, and from one end of the works to
the other the distance is $500 feet. Besides
a great variety Of dyestuffs, the acids en-
ployed in their production are also manu-
featured, amounting in one year to %
10000 Kilograms of sulphuric acid, H..
10000 of other acids and 1924 600 of coal
tar products.-New York Telegram.

Contracts That Bind Minors.

There are certain contracts that minor
Is bound to Keep and which can be enforced
against him as against an adult. Certainly
1t would be n most unfortunate thing in q
moral aspect if young people were to feel
that the law lays no duties or responsible
ties upon them. 1t would be a bad thing
for society as well as for individuals.
There are for these reasons few con.
tracts binding upon minors. OF these the
two most important are, first, contracts for
necessaries, by which technical term of the
law is meant articles needful to sustain
the child in manner suitable to his social
station, and, second, his marriage contract
a child has no right to make purchases
for himself and have them charged to his
parent unless the parent has given him
permission to do so or unless the articles
are necessaries and the child was in actual
need of them. A dealer who sells n suit of
clothes to boy and charges them to the
father is bound to prove that it was done
by the fathers permission or else that the
boy was in actual want of the clothes and
that they were necessary and suitable
If child is wrongfully driven away from
home he is then Theoretically in actual
want and can buy necessaries and charge
them to his parents, but if he puts himself
IN the wrong by running away from home
his condition is then truly pitiable, for he
thus loses entirely his right to pledge his
fathers credit even for necessaries. -Chau-

He Loved Chickens,

Children always recognized their friend
in Professor Sophocles, late of Harvard uni.
versity. A group of curly heads usually
appeared in his window on Glass day. A
stray cat knew him at once. BY him spiders
were watched, and their thin wants sup
piled. But his solitary heart went out
most unreservedly and with the most pa
thetic devotion toward fragile chickens
and out of these uninteresting little birds
he ELECTED degree of responsive intelli-
gence which was startling to see.
One of his dearest friends, coming home
from journey, brought him couple of
bantam eggs When Matched and grown
they developed into little five inch bur.
nished cock, which shone like jewel or a
bird of paradise and more sober but ex-
quisite hen.
These two, Frank and Nina and all
their numerous progeny for many years.
Sophocles trained to the hand Each knew
its name, and would run from the flock
when its white haired keeper called, and
sitting upon his hand or shoulder. would
show queer signs of affection, not hesitat-
ing even to crow.
The same generous friend who gave the
eggs gave shelter also to the winged con.
sequences, and thus it happened that three
times day, as long as he was able to leave
his room, Sophocles went to that house
where the Harvard Annex is now sheltered
to attend his pets.
To eat chicken was kind of cannibal-
ism from which his whole nature shrank.

Lapsed policie. sometl,oe. Renewed.


Sometimes lapses of life insurance poll
cies are due to the financial disability of
the policy holders. Such a case recently
came before the renewal department of
one OF the big companies. A man who
held policy for 8 900 on the semitontine
plan allowed it to lapse, after having paid
premiums for eight years. According to
the rules, his heirs would receive all the
premiums that he had paid for three years,
but he would receive nothing. For two
years nothing was heard of him. but then
he applied to be reinstated. 1t appeared
that because of financial reyerses he had
been unable to meet his premiums, but his
health had remained unimpaired. His
finances had improved again, so that he
was able to pay all the back premiums
with interest. and as he passed the medical
examination satisfactorily he was restored
to the class in which he had started ten
years before. The others in this class lost
nothing by his reinstatement, whereas he
gained greatly.
There are no written rules to renewals of
lapsed policies, and frequently they depend
entirely upon the discretion of the officials.
The local companies rarely go into details
of cases outside of the city, but hold their
agents responsible for them. While there
would appear to be opportunity of fraud,
through collision between the applicants
for renewals and the agents, yet the Off
Gals here say that it is very rarely prac-
tlced. Persons who allow their policies to
lapse are seldom notified of that fact. 1t is
to their advantage to keep them secure,
and it is taken for granted when they fail
to pay the premiums that they have done
so Intentionally. Occasionally statements
are sent out just before the beginning of
the year to delinquents, and they have a
limited time in which to apply for rein
