Telephones in BED.

One of the most ingenious applica-
lions of the telephone is the portable
form, which is known as the Portable
Hospital Telephone. Its particular use
Is to enable people in a sick room, IN
which an infectious disease is being
nursed, to communicate with the peo-
ole in the rest of the house. In nos
pitfalls this simple adaptation OF the tel
sphone to the requirements OF the Sit
cation will be found invaluable; but an
even greater field for its utility will
be the private house. The irksomeness
of having some of the infectious dis
eases in a mild form is multiplied ten
fold by the enforced seclusion of the
patient, who is suddenly cut off from
intercourse with the rest OF the fam
fly. Now. by the mere addition of this
little instrument to the furniture of the
apartment, it is possible for SICK per-
son to keep up a conversation with
any member of the rest of the family,
and in this way the tedium, which Is
inseparable from the compulsory $50
lation. may be relieved. Furthermore,
the nurse will by its means be saved
good many journeys, even In non-ln-
fictitious cases, for she can ask for
things TO be brought to her at odd
times. which. in the ordinary course,
she would have to go for, or at least
ring a bell, and have someone come TO
the door to ask what she required.

a Dog with a Cork Leg.

A dog with cork leg may sound
like a curiosity, but is nevertheless a
fact. Such a dog is known to the
writer. She is little white fox ter
rier who was chasing a rat in the
street when she was run over. AS she
was a great pet, instead of having her
destroyed her master took her to a
friendly surgeon, who gave her an an
aesthetic and amputated the leg above
the first joint. During the time of her
convalescence, when she suffered a
good deal of pain, she was nursed as
tenderly as if she were a human being.
After tone the wound healed and her
master had little cork leg made for
her, and instead of going round uncom-
fortably on three legs, she is now able,
by practice, to get along splendidly on
all tours.

A onick Firing Pistol.

The principle of a self-loading, self
firing gun has recently been applied to
pistols by a famous maker Of firearms
in GermEny, Herr Mauser. 1t is his
rifle that che Belgian army has carried
for the last few years. The Mauser
pistol has a magazine that will take
ten cartridges at a time, although the
inventor has made one that will hold
twenty. The operation of loading the
magazine is so easy that when firing
has begun the discharge can be main
tanned at the rate of eighty shots a min
ute, or faster than one second. No
attempt is made to cool the Mauser pis-
toll, as is done with the Maxim gun.
Twenty-Five hundred shots have been
fired from the former without a pause
for either cooling of cleaning.

man. These have powers great@r
than any other state railway commits
sion. 1t has powers to fix rates. order
the construction of passenger stationS.
and has authority to regulate railway
schedules and say when a train must
arrive and depart from a given point.
Every transaction made by the rail-
roads in the course of their business
must be reported to the commission,
which shall have the right to examine
the books at any time. The effect or
the law is to practically make the COM
mission assume management OF the
railroads. An unusual feature is that
there has been no talk Of the laws be-
ing unconstitutional. Lawyers are
practically agreed that 1t will stand any
ter in the courts, as it was drawn with
the greatest possible care by men well
acquainted with the intricacies of con-
stitutional law, both state AID federal.

The Spirit Collar.

One of the features of the well-known
"spiritualistic" cabinet trick has been
exposed by a writer in the Scientific
American. This is the spirit collar
with which the medium is sometimes
fastened in the cabinet. The collar Is
made of brass and fits closely about the
performers neck. Through the open
ing in the ends of the collar is passed
a chain, after the collar is on the per-
formers neck, and this chain is passed
around a post, carried back ard
through the paddock which is used to
lock the collar. By this arrangement
the performer is fastened securely TO a
postal least it appears SO to the au-
dience. AS seen by the cut the collar
is decorated with a number OF small
bolts, which impart to it an additional
appearance of strength.
These bolts are all false. with one

Some facts as to the conduct Of the
management of public lighthouses in
Europe are given in the current month
ly bulletin of the department Of labor.
1t shows that the movement to provide
bath and washhouse facilities, which
originated in England in 1912, has
spread widely in Great Britain and on
the continent, and has not yet spent
its force. 1t notes that the establish
ment of public washhouses in connec-
tion with lighthouses of the combined
swimming and cleanliness type is not
so common as In the early years Of the
movement. The success of the move
ment in Germany in establishing
workmen's baths of the shower bath
type is cited as evidence that the sim
pier and less expensive forms can be
most proftably introduced by Ameri-
can cities in their first attempts to pro-
vide working classes with adequate
baths for cleansing and refreshment.

The Iowa Transmississippi and In
dustrial Exposition commission which
has charge of the exhibit to be made
by that state at the exposition to be
held at Omaha next summer has just
issued a stirring appeal to THE people
of Iowa not only to advertise their ag-
ricultural wealth but also to show the
possibilities of developing great man
ufacturing state. The legislature has
appropriated only $4,000 for the Iowa
exhibit, but the commissioners call
upon the farmers and stockmen to raise
$780, more as a matter of state inter-
est as we'll as state pride. At the Phil
adelphia Centennial exposition Iowa
took the gold medal for farm and dairy
products, and its splendid exhibit at the
Chicago Worlds Fair will be we'll re-
membered. It's people ought to re-
turn a favorable and enthusiastic an
swer to the appeal of their commission
ers, raise the required sum of money,
and come to the front at Omaha.

A pretty woman must first of all
have clearly-cut, regular features. She
must have full, clear eyes. She must
have a skin that is above reproach,
untouched by rouge or powder. She
must have glossy hair that has never
known the touch of bleach or dye. She
must have a good figure, plump enough
yet slender enough, though never sug-
gestive of an angle. She must have a
white, expressive hand, preferably a
small one, but not of necessity, if it is
we'll kept and white. She must have
small ears and a throat that is like
a marble column for her head. She
must know how to put on her clothes,
or she loses half her beauty. She must
fully understand what best suits her IN
the way of hair dressing, and cling
closely to that.

Spurious Coins in France.

The police Of France recently dis
covered a regularly organized market
place for the sale of spurious coins of
France. 1t was extensively patronized
by walters, who lay in supply of the
false coins to work them off on tour
lists. The large stock of false coins
seized was found to be of quality su-
perior to that generally uttered by
counterfeiters. The idea seemed to be
to safely insure small profits. For in
stance, lot Of 5-franc pieces were
found to have an almost bullion value
OF francs each. They were sold to
the waiter customers for francs each.
allowing the dishonest purchaser a
clear profit Of l franc. Few people
look closely at a franc piece and a
very bad imitation can be successfully
uttered in four cases out of five. The
average price paid at this exchange for
franc pieces was 25 centimes, or 2B
cents. European continental walters
are past masters in the art of passing
counterfeit or demonetized coins. for
eigners being their victims.-Philadel-
phia Record.

One evidence of the soundness Of the
English language appears in the ease
with which it casts off colloquial ad-
ditions when the need for them passes
away. Already the Klondike gold craze
has given us the colloquial klondiker,
or one who is mining there. Other
words Of the sort will be sure to follow.
We may read of klondikess, who has
gone to join her husband in that re-
gion; of klondikal wealth; of person
who has the craze fully developed as
klondikized. When the mines are ex-
hausted the words will die out, and
the English tongue will be as pure as
ever.

QUEER FABRICS.

There is a firm in Venice which is
turning out glass bonnets by the thou
sand and several other European fac
tories are showing remarkable results
in this particular industry. The In
fanta Mercedes, sister of the little king
of Spain, recently received from the
Venetian factory white ball dress Of
spun glass as pliable as silk. Many
society women with a within for the
curious have similar gowns.
Queen Victoria owns a more marvel
GUS robe. In 1877 the empress of Bra
I'll sent her gown woven from a GER
tain spiders web which for fineness of
texture and beauty surpasses the love-
lest silk. A drachm of web reaches 200
miles and is proportionately stronger
than a bar of tempered steel A web
of equal thickness would support sew
enty-four tons, while steel would
break at fifty tons. These spiders when
at work eat seventy-eight times their
own weight every day and produce on
ly half grain of silk.
Louis XIV. has a coat made of spi-
ders' web which was a great curiosity
in those days. lie Bon, great beau
of Languedoc, had, some 200 years ago,
webs woven into gloves and stockings.
In one of Gilbert's funny bah Bal
lads" there is story of two noted
dukes, one of whom wore silver I'M

ly crisped and grained This is cut,
sewed together as cloth would be, and
where buttonholes are necessary linen
is used for strengthening the paper.
The material is strong and flexible
and light, weighing about ninety grains
to the square foot. The Japanese also
make umbrellas of paper which even
after it has become wet is hard to
tear.

An expert in the matters of inks and
papers says that the books of the pres
ent period are printed with such poor
ink on such perishable paper that flu
ture generations will not have an OPP
portunity of reading them. No doubt
in the case OF some contemporary
books our grandchildren will thus suf-
fer loss; but the total disappearance
of much that passes for journalism in
these days will be so great gain that
it may we'll be held that the balance
is on the right side.

Many ignorant people, and some not
so ignorant, have supposed that usury
was not regarded with disfavor by the
Jewish religion. And yet Isaac Cor

has been expelled from the synagogue
for usury. and Hebrew religious or
charitable institutions have been
warned to accept no money from one
whose dealing offends against Jewish
morality, and brings ill-fame upon the

Tho self.Tacklng Yacht.

Mr.. Herbert Consterdine, the famous
English engineer. has been exhibiting
a very clever invention which does
away with manual aid IN the lacking
and steering of model and workaday
yachts. The idea is worked on a mo-
del cutter yacht, which measures over
all about nine feet. Hitherto with
such a yacht it has only been possible
to run before the wind or set the boat
on a single tack, which will carry her
in a straight line from one side of a
lake to the other. But with Mr.. Con-
sterdine's mechanism 1t is now possible
as has been demonstrated to the salts
faction of experts, to set a yacht off
from a lee shore and make her reach
the windward side by automatically
lacking against the wind. The prin-
ciple of Mr.. Consterdine's invention Is
such that the beating to windward may
be continued indefinitely, of course
given a continuous wind and suffl-
GENTLY large sheet of water. If the
yacht is not required to reach the
weather shore she can be set to go a
definite number of tacks, after the COM
pletion of which she will Of herself
cease lacking and return to the lee
shore, running before the wind. To do

exception. The genuine bolt can be
removed by the performer when the
