Scientists in Europe are talking a
good deal just now about a curious
new machine, to which the name tele-
scriptor has been given. AS the name
indicates, the object of the machine is
to write down words spoken or sent
from a distance. The telephone, as
at present constructed, enables, one
person to hear another who is talking
perhaps leagues away; the telescriptor,
it is claimed, will enable any person to
send q written message to another
person over telephone. The tele-
scriptor has been invented by a German
scientist, and in his words, "its object
is to fix telephone transmissions." +"
His machine is described as simply a
combination of the typewriter and the
telegraph, and without it the inventor
claims that the telephone cannot be
regarded as complete. The manipula-
ton of the machine is not more diff
cult than that of the typewriter, and,
like the typewriter, the new instru-
ment has a keyboard, above which is
placed the box containing the ma
chinery. The same wire which is used
for telephone communication is con-
nected with the telescriptor, and by
means of simple manipulation the
current can be directed either into the
telescriptOr or into the telephone
Thus, when n person wishes to use a
telephone, after it has been furnished
with this new machine, all he will
have to do will be to turn on the cur
rent and then write his message on
the typewriter. According rs it is
written the message will be flashed
across the wire and an answer will be
sent to him in the same manner.

WHOLE NUMBER 1923.
"PICK up FOR UNCLE SAM,
Millions OF Dollars Of Unclaimed d
Money I'm the Treasury.

There are millions upon millions of
dollars in the Treasury paid in from
different sources which belong to citi-
zens of the United States. To this
wealth the Postoffice Department De-
partment, through the money order
office, contributes largely. A few
years back the Postmaster General de-
posted with tho Treasurer nearly 49,
100000, the money from uncashed
orders which had accumulated since
the office was started in 1868. At
first no effort was made to restore this
unclaimed money to its rightful own
ers, but the letters of advice, turned in
as unpaid by the postmasters from all
over the country were kept, in case
demand should be made for their pay
ment. This money remained to the
credit of the money order Office, show
ing large profit for the service. This
policy was subsequently changed, and
now the Office endeavors to refund the
money to the remitters by a draft
drawn on the treasury. This rule OBJ
tains in case of money orders less than
ten years old. Letters of advice older
than this are destroyed.
Every year about per cent of the
money orders issued are not cashed,
leaving from $4,000 to 100000 un-
claimed, which is deposited in the
treasury. There are many reasons to
account for this large number Of
money orders not being cashed. In
some instances orders are filed away
with other papers and forgotten.
More frequently the letter containing
the order is lost or stolen, and the Or
der never reaches the addressee. This
is true of the orders made out to the
large shops which do not receive the
order or the accompanying letter con-
tanning orders for goods to be shipped,
owing generally to the dishonesty of
employees. There are cases, too, where
men have used the money order Office
as bank and have made out orders
to themselves which, owing to sudden
death or other cause, have never been
claimed.
1t is difficult, however, to explain
why such large sums remain un-
claimed, for in case an order is lost a
duplicate is easily obtained. Applica-
tion is made by either the remitter,
the payee or the Office of payment,
and duplicate is issued with only the
delay necessary to comply with the
forms. A year ago the department
made ruling that duplicate money
orders could not be issued in less than
three months from the time when an
application was filed, but this was
found inconvenient, and this order
was rescinded.

ANOTHER IRISH FAMINE,
The Island Threatened With the
Gravest Distress This Winter.
New York SIM

The everlasting Irish question is
coming up i'll an acute form through
an Irish famine. The correspondent
OF the Manchester Guardian, one of
the most trustworthy and least sensa-
tional papers in England, declares
that no such appalling prospect has
presented itself during the present
generation. Concurring reports show
that the prolonged and continuous
rains OF the autumn have ruined the
crops from north to south.
The rich lower lands have been
flooded for weeks at time when the
harvest ought to have been proceeding.
Corn and hay stacks have been sub
merged, and potatoes are rotting in
the fields. In the poorer hill lands
the small farmer and cotter popula-
tion are again face to face with one
of those failures of the potato crop
which have too often brought the ut
most horrors of starvation and fa-
mine and disease among them.
As usual, the government is doing
nothing. The Irish Secretary's tour
in the west and northwest occurred
before the bad weather set in and ut
time when little could be predicted of
the harvests. Since then he has OBJ
tained reports from official sources
from landlord sources-which can
only be described as misleading.
Thefarmers on many of the large
estates have informed their landlords
agents that no rent can be paid this
year because no rent has been earned.
But the landlords have entered into
combination for wholesale pressure on
the tenants. Using their utmost
privileges under the land act, they are
applying for ejectment DEGREES by the
thouohiiu, uiiu All CNltliolI CaIl lttlSll
such as rarely has been witnessed even
in Ireland is now in progress in many
districts.
AS soon as the rigors of winter set
in the demand for relief will be
clamorous. The government will be
compelled to intervene before parlia-
ment opens or face an accusation of
reckless Indifference to suffering such
as ought to overwhelm any English
ministry.
With this famine impending, COM
bined with the revelations of the finan-
cial relations commission, showing
how Ireland is annually bled of mil
lions OF money to the advantage of
Great Britain, it will be no wonder if
Irish discomfort assumes more ac-
tive form than mere talk over legisla-
ton for home rule.

In these seven states alone there was
an increase of S77,l24 votes. At the
usual ratio of computation this would
mean a gain of 4,3S5,630 inhabitants,
and there has not been anything like
such gain.
1t is MYSTERY which may be cleared
up after awhile. The explanation Of
it may turn out to be all right. Let
us hope so. For if there be not some
natural explanation-if a third of the
voters have not hitherto stayed away
from the polls at all elections, and the
ratio of voters to inhabitants has not
been always incorrectly fxed-there
has been gigantic fraud. Yet, how
could there be? How could so extern
sive and bold plan of stealing States
be carried out without detection some
where? 1t seems impossible.

A Pocket Bicycle.

A Frenchman named Leguir, who is
an enthusiastic bicyclist, and has had
untold trouble with train guards and
baggage men when transporting his
wheel on the railways, has invented for
his own convenience a pocket bicycle.
This name is not to be taken literally
the bicycle cannot be folded so closely
as to go into mans pocket. How
ever, each wheel, after the rubber tiring
has been removed, may be taken apart
in four sections, and these sections
clapped together as fan would be, SO
that the whole machine goes into a
case of about the size required for five
or six umbrellas. NJ. Leguir carries
the package with shawl strap.

While it is true that variety is the
spice of life" the best line of careful
students is in the line of simplicity in
the matter of food. Have an ede-
quate supply, have it thoroughly and
intelligently cooked, but let it be plain,
simple, digestible. In this direction a
Western health journal pertinently. if
not very elegantly, remarks: "Never
have a great variety at one meal, but
make the variety from one meal to the
next. Did you ever stop to think what
a conglomerate mass your stomach
contained after eating great variety
at one meal? II not, imagine all you
have eaten and drank mixed up in one
bowl, and then ask yourself the
question whether it is any wonder that
people have dyspepsia"

The Mystery of November.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat mem
tions with boastfulness that every vote
cast for other candidates than Nc
Kinley might have been combined
against him and still his majority
would be over 100000. 1t is true. 1t
is strange, also. There is perplex-
ing popularity about the last election
which no one has yet been able to ex-
plain. The Cleveland Recorder makes
these comparisons: Cleveland car
ried California by 147; yet Bryan lost
that State though he polled 24,OOO
more than Cleveland did. Cleveland
carried Illinois by 10000; yet Bryan
lost the State, though he polled A.
600 more votes than Cleveland did.
Cleveland carried Indiana by 1925

President Cleveland when he retires
from Office on the 4th of next March
will be the richest President that ever
left the executive mansion. He will
carry an ample fortune with him into
private life, all of which he has accu-
mulated during the past twelve years.
Mr.. Cleveland has made the office
of President "pay" in a way that
would open the eyes of most of his
predecessors. Although many Presi-
dents have lived much more simply
and inexpensively than Mr.. Cleveland,
they had practically little or nothing
when they retired to private life. The
reason for this is that up to the Sec
ond term of General Grant the salary
of the President was only $4,000 n
year, and the President was obliged to
pay many expenses of the White
House that are now charged to the
cost of its maintenance by the govern
ment,

polled 1900 more votes than Clcve-
land did. Cleveland carried Ken
tucky by 10000; yet Bryan lost the
State though he pollcd over 10000
more votes than Cleveland did.
Where did all these votes come
from? No ordinary increase of popu-
lation accounts for them. In States
where there was little contest the
gain in votes WAS very much less. In
New York it was only 10000 over
1892; in Kansas, 10000; Texas, 49,
600; Massachusetts, 1000. In the
pivotal States, however, the gain was
enormous. The New York World has
made a comparison. Look at these
figures:
