BoMBAY,s PLAGUE.
TIE People Literally Running Away b,
Thousands.


BOMBAY, Jan. 16.-The plague con-
tinues as bad as ever, and there is lit
tie prospect of its abating for some
time. The panic has been renewed,
and the exodus from the city has COM
menced with a vengeance. Indeed, it
may fairly be stated that thousands
Of people are literally running away,
large crowds being seen running along
the road carrying bundles of their be-
lodgings and dragging their children
behind them. A few of them were
asked the reason of their haste, and
the answer was that they were going
off to their villages down the coast to
get away from the plague and the au-
thorities, who were anxious to secure
the lives of 10000 people for the recent
outrage of the queens statue.

MACHINERY and Men,

Since 1916 machinery has on an enor-
nous scale supplanted manual labor.
The Enotter of the self binder completes
q round, of mechanism which threatens
to make the farmer a man Of sedentary
habits. If the. cotton boil remains un,
picked by machinery it may be because
the sbotanist must first produce a plant
maturing all at once instead of at sue
cessive periods. In superseding the hand
the inventor often succeeds by feats far
removed from imitation. Merganthaler
replaces the; typesetter by arranging
matrices from which lines of solid metal
are cast. Lanston's macI:ine for a sim
liar purpose exemplifies a noteworthy
aim Of Observation-Disclosures by means
involving the slightest exertion possible.
An operator at a keyboard sembolizes a
manuscript as a series Of punctures i'll a
strip Of paper, the pinholes free pulses
Of compressed air which actuate the
machine. Initiation, however, reaches
its final form i'll electrical devices. A
clerk in New, York perforates successive
messages Oh a paper ribbon, which,
driven between electrical springs, trans
mits 3, OG0 words minute to Philadel-
phia. Intelligence in such feataas this
is given only that part of task for
which it is Indispensable. All else is
committed to mechanism actusted at a
speed and with force denied to nerve
or muscle. Self Culture.

The invisible radiations from a heated
body possess the power of effecting GER
tain chemical decompositions much after
the manner Of lights, as, for instance,
III photography. Among the substances
sensitive to weak radiations of heat may
be mentioned paper saturated with Gu
prlc bromide, OF a mixture of sulphate
of copper and potassium brorside, which
has a faint greenish tint that becomes
olive brown in radiant heat, and, if
green is used, a brown image can be OBJ
tanned i'll q minute by exposing to the
radlatlOns from a gas stove, and on
treatment with silver nitrate this image
becomes black by reason Of the reduction
Of the silver. Bichromated paper is af-
fected by radiant heat, as by light, and
paper impregnated simply with sulphate
OF copper yields a feeble image, which
becomes nearly black when treated with
silver nitrate. A mixture of sulphate of
copper and oxalic acid gives paper
which becomes brown on exposure.
Chlorate Of copper is also very sensitive,
the faint blue color becoming deep
green. Similarly used bromide Of tin
behaves as if exposed to light, but unex-
posed parts become very black when
treated with silver nitrate. Nitrate of
silver, which is 7narkedly acted upon by
light, is slightly Drowned when exposed
to heat radiation, and the tint is deep
ened by hydroquinone OF gallo acid

Army Marriages.

General Miles, as commanding gen
eral OF the army, has just been called
upon to decide on somewhat delicate
question in which military discipline
was mixed up with moral and senti-
mental considerations. AS is we'll
known, the army authorities regard q
soldier married as soldier married, ts-
pecially if the soldier is a private, and
commanding officers have often gone 50
fan as to refuse permission to wed tu
the men under them. Recently chap
lain out at Fort Assi1siboin, in Mon
tana, Joined in the bonds Of matrimony
q private stationed there and a Young
woman who was working as a domestic
servant for the family of one Of the off
GERS. No permission for the wedding
had been granted, and none had been
asked. Next day the post commander
reprimanded the chaplain severely, de-
claring that his act was unauthorized
and improper. The chaplain resented
this and appealed to the adjutant gen
eral, from whom the case went to Cen
eral Miles for final action. In rendering
his decision General Miles says: THE
course Of the chaplain appears to be
fully warranted by law and regulations.
While the objection to soldiers marry
ing is we'll recognized it is not prohib-
tied by law or regulations, and the mil
ltary authorities are not, therefore, war
ranted in intervening 8 New York

How Lover Worked.

The Century. Mrs. Schmid says: His
industry was such that in the busiest
years Of his life he did n EN- grant
himself time to look at tt. y papers,
or to read any new book that was much
talked of. His wife always read the pa
pers and the new books for him, giving
him in conversation resume of the

When Don Cameron is retired from
the senate of the United States on the
18th Of March, it will be the first time
in generation that the senate has been
without Cameron among its members.
His father, Simon Cameron, entered the
senate in 1915 and was a famous Wig
leader ten years before the Republican
party was born. His son was elected
largely through the fathers popularity
in Pennsy lyania. IF we leave out the
brief period during the Lincoln admin
istration, when Simon Cameron was
secretary Of war and minister to Russia.
and three years following, when he was
in retirement, the period Of Cameron
occupancy Of a senatorial chair will
have lasted for over half q century.

FIRE ALARM BOXES

The Mechanism That Summons Help In
Case of Fire.
Charles T. Hill contributes an article
entitled ''An Alarm of Fire by Tele-
graph to St. Nicholas, describing the
fire alarm system of New York. Con-
corning the fire alarm boxes Mr.. Hill
writes: This box forms part CT lamp
post, the post being SO constructed that
the boz is inserted in the middle. The
box is painted a bright red, and the
lamp at night shows q red light, thus
making it easily discernible either by
day OF Hight. The wires from the box
are conveyed down through the center
OF the post to conduits buried in the
street and thence on to fire headquarters
White letters on red pane of glass,
in the lamp over the box give directions
how to send an alarm. The same direc-
tions liz raised letters are found on the
face of the box. IF we turn the large
brass handle on the outside as far as it
will 60, a loud gong will ring inside
This is not the alarm, but simply a
warning bell to notify the policeman on
the beat that the box is being opened
and to prevent the sending in of mali
cious or false alarms of fire, an offense
that is punishable in New York state
by fine of $500 and one years impris-
onment. Turning this handle as far as
it will go opens the enter door, and we
find inside another door, with a slot at
the left hand side, and at the top of this
slot hook projecting By pulling down
this hook once and releasing it we set
at work certain clockwork mechanism
inside, and this sends in the alarm.
When the first officer arriving at a
fire discovers that it is of enough i'm
portance to warrant his sending fcr re-
endorsements, he opens this inner door
and with the Morse key sends in IA sec
ond, third, fourth, fifth or sixth alarm,
as the case may be, OF a call for any
special apparatus that he may need
The inspectors of boxes can also carry
on a conversation in the Morse alphabet

belongs to extemporaneous speaking,

of his argument were not felt until you
reflected upon it afterward He gesticu-
lated freely, equally we'll with both
arms. Nothing could be more beautiful

Mr.. A. Ulrich of Chicago, who once
lived in, New Orleans and is familiar
with the matter Of which he speaks,
sends in the, following very interesting
account of the way in which crawfsh
are taken by the men who fish for them.
He says: =. 3. Fl.
Around New Orleans there are
sWamps which are always being hunted
for crawfsh, and yet the supply is I'M
limited. So numerous are they that one
cannot leave fish on a, string in the wa
ter, for they will tear the fish into
Ehreds. :. .--.-.
80 small net about the, size Of a butt
terfy net, about ten cords, each two feet
long, and 5 cents worth of meat COM
plete the outfit for one person.
In the swamp there are small islands
and long necks Of land which intersect
one another in all directions and upon
which the catchers go.
'"The start is usually made in the
early morning, when the sun does not
shine SO fercely and walking is much
easier.
Arriving at their destination, they
cut their meat into small pieces about
two inches around. Each piece is now
attached to one Of the cords. After this
they are thrown into the water and the
other end of the cord is attached to a
stick which is stuck into the ground sc
that the crawfsh cannot pull the meat
away. One usually waits a few minutes,
and then when the cord is gently raised
the catcher will see about half a dozen
crawfish with their pinchers stuck into
the meat, eating ravenously.
"The net is now gently put into the
water directly under them, and with a
sudden jerk ohey are landed, for as soon
as they strike the air they will let loose
Of the meat.
"The crawfish are Of a large species.
The writer has caught some measuring
10 inches from tip to tip. These are by
no means uncommon.

is about an ordinary bucketful. The
meat when prepared right makes de.
