Inc canary industry.

For more than o century the breed
ing of canaries has been o thriving in
dustry in parts of Germany. In 1850
the German dealers began to ship TIL,
birds to New York, and then to South
America and Australia. The profits
arc small, but the. industry is q godsent
to tho poor, who make tho small woode;,
cagc0. 1t is estimated that about $50,
900 canary birds are raised every year
In Germany. The most importaa,
market is the United States, which
takes about 100, 600 birds per annum.
When the birds arc shipped to thi'
country they ore always accompanied
by an attendant. On tho return voy-
age these attendants take American
birds and animals to Europe.-New
York Sun.

Pigeon English.

Many persons do not know ana
many may be interested in learning
that for 100 years pigeon English has
been the recognized language of trade
and commerce for about 500, 900, 900
Asiatics and Africans in all their deal
ings with foreigners of all other Ma
tionalities. The English, Americans,
French, Italians, Russians, Germans
and Dutch must all use pigeon English
in order to transact business with the
natives. Pigeon English is more near
ly a universal language than any other
il the world, and if our alphabet could
be made "fonetik" would likely soon
become a special language for all Ma
tons, especially if aided by the 1OO,~
900, 900 speaking regular English and
it's dialects. What is Volapuk along

The Steam Siren.

The invention of that diabolical con.
trivanee, the steam siren, is commonly
attributed to Professor Henry. In
fact, however, he merely adopted the
idea from a French device for record
ing the vibrations of musical notes,
and applied it in a shape for use as o
fog signal. Of all the instruments for
making loud noises ever constructed,
this one is by far the most Internal.
Under favorable conditions il can be
heard forty miles at sea. Recently it
hes come into use to some extent in
cities Of o substitute for the factory
whistle, and at IL O'Clock and at 6
o'clock daily, peaceful neighbors are
disturbed by it's frightful believing.
The sounds are produced by projecting
8 jet of steam through a tube which ia
partly obstrHcted by a revolving
toothed wheel. The faster the wheel
goes round, the higher is the pitch OF
the shrek uttered by the machine, so
that it goes up note after note until the
listener feels as if a taot or two higher
would render him a raving lunatic,
Incidentally to studying the operation
of this kind of fog signal, Professor
Henry discovered the cause of certain
odd acoustic freaks which had been q
puzzle to navigators. It had often
been found that such q signal, though
clearly audible twenty miles from
land, could not be heard at ali
ten miles from shore. This, as he
learned, was due to the ~refraction of
the sound-waves occasioned by wind.
He also ~ascertained that the blowing of
the fog signal, thus rendered inaudi-
BILE on the deck of a vessel at sea, could
often be heard loudly by ascending to

QUEER FACTS ABOUT MONEY.

There are 119, 900, 900 old copper pen
MES somewhere. Nobody knows what
has become of them, except that once
in while a single specimen turns up
in a change. A few years ago 1906
900 bronze two cent pieces were set
afoat. = Three millions of these are
still outstanding. Three million three
cent nickel pieces are scattered over
the United States, but it is very rarely
that one is seen. Of SOC, 900 half cents
which correspond in value to English
farthings, not one has been returned
to the government for recoinage Or is
held by the treasury. Congress ap-
propriates from 100000 to $3.50, 900
yearly for recoining the uncurrent
silver coins now in possession of the
treasury. These are mostly half dol
lars, and are not circulated because
there is no demand for them. Not
long ago the stock of them amounted
to $26, 1000, 900, but it is only about half
that now. The money set aside for
recoining is not intended to pay for
the cost of the minting, but is required
to reimburse the treasury of the Unit
ed States on account of the loss in
weight which the silver pieces have
suffered by abrasion. = This loss
amounts to $50 on every 81 900, and it
has to be made in good order to set
the treasurers account straight.
