Up-to-date convicts In the Maryland pemitentiary have been caught using an electrical apparatus to light cigarettes which they were forbidden to smoke. They had somehow procured two pieces of copper wire and attached them to the electric light wires in the prison. By using lead pencil between the two wires as carbon, they obtained sparks which sufflced to light the cigarettes.

Of MT. Winans, the American million aire, who died the other day, London Figaro says: He had curious mania for a millionaire. He made it a rule to pay no bills except once every six years, when he had general settling up to satisfy the law of prescription. If any tradesman insisted on being paid sooner, Winans declined to deal with him again. Most of the tradesmen sub mitted, because they knew their money was safe enough and that they would be paid all they asked lavishly in the end. But sometimes they served writs upon him, which made him very angry indeed. Unlike some nlillionaires. he had no reluctance about parting with his money, but he always said that he thought it ought to be the privilege of millionaire never to have to think about money.

Boys, do not steal watermelons. A negro farmer in Fairfield county, South Carolina, who had been pestered by watermelon thieves cut the plugs out of two particularly fine melons and put strychnine in them. Two colored boys ate of these melons and both are now dead. The farmer will not be prose cuted probably because 1t would be diff ficult to convict him of any crime, though his action was undoubtedly the cause of the death of two boys.

They Were An Outgrowth of the Beacon
Fires on Headlands.
When ships are sailing upon the
ocean the lights of heaven are their
guides. Even in the dark ages, when
the compass and se&tant were UNI
known instruments, the seemingly mo-
tionless pole-star hung like beacon
light in the northern heavens, and the
rising and setting Of the sun and
stars distinguished the east from the
west, says the st. Nicholas. When,
however, ships come near the land the
lights Of heaven are not sufficient safe
~ to guide them. Rocks lie in their
paths unseen in the night; reefs and
shoals spread under the water; while
unsupported currents sweep the frail
craft all blindly upon these dangers.
nevertheless, ships were sailed along
dangerous coasts for centuries before
plain system of marking dangerous
places was invented The early ma
rlnes were bold ana reckless rovers,
more than half pirates, who seldom
owned rood of the coasts along which
they sailed. and could not have estab-
lished lights and landmarks on them
mad they. cared to do so. The rude
beginning, then. of system of light
houses was when the merchants with
whom the reckless mariners traded in
those dark ages built beacons near the
harbor mouths to guide the ships into
port by day, and lighted fires for
their guidance at night. AS such a
harbor-guide had to be a sure land
mark in the day time and light by
night, 1t soon took on settled shape
"a tower on which could be built q
fire; and such a tower was usually
built of stone. This method of guiding
ships into the ports which they sought
was scarcely established before human
wickedness, used it as means of their
destruction. Bands Of robbers, or, as
they came to be called, "wreckers,"
would hide themselves somewhere near
the haven sought by a richly laden
vessel, and after overpowering the
hre-keepers would extinguish the bea-
con-fre on the night on which the ship
was expected. Then they would Light
another fire near some I treacherous
reef. The mariner sailing boldly to.
ward the false light, would dash his
vessel to destruction on the reef,
whereupon the robber band would
plumber the wreck and make off with
the booty.

capillary circulation was tested by
plethysmograph attached to the right

showed diminution of pulsation. Thi'
diminution was occasioned by thu
sound of single notes, chords or dis
cords. In sad melodies, especially
minor ones, there was almost no di'

In 1900 not only was the field of
usiness enterprise restricted, but the
transaction of business within that
field was slow and difficult. says the
Atlantic. The merchant kept his own
books, or, as we would have said, his
own accounts; wrote all his letters
with quill and when they were writ

with sand. There were then no en-
velopes, no postage stamps, no letter
boxes in the streets, no collection of
the mail. The letter written, the paper
carefully folded. sealed with wax or
wafer, addressed and carried to the
postoffice, where postage was prepaid
at rates which would now seem extor-
tionate. To send letter which was
single sheet of paper, large or small,
from Boston to New York or Phila-
delphia cost 1871 cents and to Wash
ington 25 cents; and this when the
purchasing power of a cent was five
times what it is at present. To carry
a letter from Philadelphia, then the
capital of the United States, to Boston
and bring back an answer by return
mail would have consumed from
twelve to eighteen days, according to
the season of the year and the
weather.

Elaborate experiments on Texas fe-
yer have been conducted at Columbia
during the past year by the Missouri
authorities, cooperating with the Tex
as Experiment Station. Bulletin No. 81
by Dr. j. w. Connaway, just issued, re-
ports the results Of these tests. 1t
was clearly demonstrated that the Tex
as tick is the natural means of COM
municating the disease from one ami
NAL to another. Ticks Matched In the
laboratory when put on Missouri
Shorthorn cows In lots free from any
possible infection, produced fatal cases
OF Texas fever in every instance with
In from thirteen to eighteen days after
the young ticks were placed on the
animal. The Texas Station dipped a
car load Of Texan cattle. all Of which
were covered with the Texas fever
tick, and shipped the dipped cattle to
the Missouri Experiment Station.
These cattle were dipped in West
Virginia mineral oil at cost OF less
than cents per head. The Missouri
Station confined these dipped Texan
cattle In small lot with number OF
shorthorn cows from the 18th OF Au-
gust until the LIST of November, and
made careful daily observations and
temperature records, with the result
that no Texas fever was communicated.
II subsequent experiments confirm
these results, the dipping process will
be entirely practicable and feasible, and
can be easily and cheaply done on
commercial scale, and would enable the
farmers of the Mississippi valley to
purchase and bring to their farms with
perfect safety at any season of the
year, cheap range cattle to eat their
surplus corn and grass. An attempt
was made to inoculate cattle 30 that
they would be proof against this dis
ease, with very promising results.
These results are also in measure
confirmed by experiments that DR..
Connaway has just concluded in Miss
issippi, on car load of dairy
cattle shipped there from Kansas.
Twelve of these cattle had died OF
Texas fever before the animals
were injected; none died after
wards. The method is neither ex-
pensive nor difficult, and If 1t proves
to be successful as it now promises, the
entire Texas fever district, comprising
a dozen states will be opened as
market for the thoroughbred stock OF
the north and west, inasmuch as these
animals may then be shipped to these
states with entire safety from loss. Ex-
