A
now to Get a Good Service from Ship
to Shore.

w W NNGI u 1OOu service from ShlD
to Shore.
Captain John R. Bartlett, U. S. N,
retired, chief of the coast signal SER
vice during the war with Spain, has
reported to the department on the
value of carrier pigeons for signaling
purposes. The Baltimore Sun sum-
marizes the report as follows: That
experiments be made for the purpose
of training homing pigeons in connec-
ton with coast signaling, for the rea-
son that they offer a solution of the
problem of communication with YES
sells in the off-shore patrol fleet. These
vessels would most probably operate
in districts having established bases,
and at such distance from the coast
and from the inshore patrol that visual
signaling would be impossible. A
homing pigeon service cannot be i'm
provised and be of any real value.
The birds must be systematically and
patiently trained for a year or two,
not only to equip the cotes with train
ed carriers for that locality, but to
furni:h a stock of sea-bred breeders.
Experimental cotes should be located
at the base of naval coast defense dis
tricts, a small vessel provided with a
carrier pigeon outfit, and an officer de-
tailed to develop this means of COM
munication and superintend the sys-
tematic training of the birds. Unless
this is done with intelligence for at
least a year it would be useless to rely
upon 1t at all. Such a system could
be economically inaugurated and could
be maintained at a comparatively
slight cost. A simple routine of drills,
exercises and reports based upon our
recent experiences could be readily
put into operation, and small rewards
or appropriate rating would stimulate
proficiency. In times of peace such
service would be of constant conven-
fence to this department and to the
maritime interests Of the country, and
the constant practice would prepare
the men for the emergencies of war.
Attention is called to the fact that
every other maritime nation has such
a system, generally much more elabo-
rate than the one herein proposed, or
ganized and operated under it's naval
or maritime department.

SOCIETY IN LONDON.
RESTS ENTIRELY ON THE
GOLD BASIS. v
If a Person Has the Coin of the Realm,
Though He Is q Black Rascal I'm
other Respects, He May Purchase
Recognition OF Cheap Nobility"

According to the Daily Telegraph,
Indignantly denied the imputation that
they have allowed guests to come to
their parties on the understanding that
they should contribute something to
a charitable fund. In London, the
contributing guest Is a social institu-
ton. But he is generally expected to
contribute, not to charity, but either to
the entertainer or to the entertainers
friends, or, if the entertainer be in
terested in politics, to party funds. On
these conditions, any he or she may
SO far as going to parties Is concerned
have a very pleasant time in Lon
don as we'll as in country houses. The
personal contributions take the form
of doing something mysterious in the
city by which money is obtained, al
though it often happens that this is a
mere pretext for giving.
An acquaintance of mine, a pleasant
enough snob in his way, although he
would have robbed a church to make
money, and would have cheerfully paid
half the plumber to secure social rec
ognition, once explained to me the
whole process. l was surprised when
he told me the sums that he had paid.
Women" he said, "are never salts
fed" do they expect you to make
love to them?" l asked. ooh, no."
he replied, there is nothing of that
sort expected. What they want is
money against invitations. And as
they have something to sell that I
want to buy, the transaction is easily
settled. 1 generally say that l have
made it for them in the city, but l
don't think that they really believe it.
1t is only a civil way of explaining"
If my friend had not been married l
should have advised him to purchase
an aristocratic bride. AS it was, I rec
commended him to take a big house
and give parties himself, hiring some
lady of fashion to invite the guests.
This he did and he is now quite a shin
ing light among London entertainers,
many Of his guests even going Sc far
as to occasionally invite him in return
to their own houses.
He asked me about politics. 1t was
perfectly Indifferent to him, he said,
which party he joined, for his aspira-
lions were social rather than political.
Under these circumstances 1 recon-
mended the tory party. He might
stand, I explained, for some place
where money was wanted, and Wheth-
er he got in or not he might subscribe
to the party funds. This would Sc
cure his admission to a good tory club
and to all the tory political GRAMS.
Only the other day he thanked me for
my disinterested advice, which has
borne excellent fruit. have now sug-
gested to him a few race horses, a cot
tage at Newmarket, and a yacht. I
take the greatest interest in his career,
and I expect 1 shall soon see him a
baronet, if not a peer.-London Truth.

Railroad men report that the move
ment Of manufactures from the East
to the West is quite pronounced. Many
industries can be carried on more
cheaply than in the East and
manufacturers are alert to all
such advantages. One industry
which has emigrated from the
East to the West is the manufacture of
pearl buttons. The largest button fac
tories in the United States are at
Newark, N. j., but several have re-
Gently been established in Iowa. The
Eastern factories formerly used shells
imported from India and Australia, but
latterly these have given way to the
clam shells found in the Mississippi
river, in the Rock river, Illinois and in
the Cedar river, Ia. From these shells,
which were never before utilized, a, big
industry has arisen. The shells are
gathered in large quantities by wad-
ers, who receive from 1 to 8 cents a
pound for them. Some of the speci-
mems are four inches across, and for
all practical purposes they are as good
as the imported article, save in depth
of coloring. The price paid for the
domestic shell is remarkably low IS
compared with the cost of the i'm
ported shell, which sells in New York
for 40 or so cents a pound. Fifteen
pounds of buttons can be obtained
from 100 pounds of shells, and this
lact has led some of the Eastern manu-
facturers to establish button-blank
factories in the West. The machinery
in these punches out the disk which
makes up the button, and the manu-
facturer escapes the payment of
freight charges on So per cent of dead
material.

Steel has almost superseded iron in
the manufacture of pipe and tubing
until it is estimated hat almost rs
per cent Of the entire product of the
country is now made Of steel. Up to
a few years ago wrought iron was
used almost exclusively. The lapweld
joint proved a serious objection, and
the change to steel has been rapid and
complete. Steel pipe is stronger, has
longer life and is less liable to corro-
sion. Steel tubing has enabled the BIZ
cycle industry to become revolution
lied, and pipe forms a leading article
in tonnage of the steel industry in this
country and foreign markets.

trated in past years. Some Of the
bogus pieces are so cleverly executed
that it takes an expert to detect them,
and it is, therefore, not surprising that
they would deceive the average person.
Occasionally one sees a specimen made
of the proper metal and seemingly
genuine in every particular, but upon
closer examination it will be found
that the date has been tempered with,
and, under a powerful glass, is clearly
seen to have been altered. All sorts
of fake pieces bearing the date of 1904
are known to be in existence. and the
intending purchaser should think twice
and look sharp, or else get the opin-
ion of some one who is posted, before
he parts with his money.

The Wetternsee, in Switzerland, like
SO many other lakes, has long enjoyed
the local reputation of being a bot
tOmless pit. The Swedish scientists
have now destroyed the venerable le-
gend, says the Kleine Zeitung, for in
the measurements taken a few days
ago they have successfully demon
strated that the greatest depth of the
lake is only 119 meters. There still
remains, however, a series of mystic
ries which science must be content to
leave u~nsolved-at least, for a time.
1t is not only a legendary belief, but
there is a quasi-scientific ground for
the queer s%upposition that living crea-
lures, animal and vegetable, can and
do make journeys to and fro between
the high northern lake of Wettern
and the South German lake of Con-
stance. This bold conclusion has been
partly justified by the T learance Of
exactly the same fauna ard even of
the same animal life in the Swedish
and the Swabian inland seas. 1t is
even asserted that whenever there is
a storm on the Lake of Constance the
Lake of Wettern begins sympathetic
cally to roll and swell, and that the
southern lake is similarly moved by
any agitation in the distant northern
lake,

WHAT PRESIDENTS COST.
Much Less Than Those of Any Other
Nation.


1t costs the people of the United
States $114,S65 a year for a chief ex-
ecutivc. His salary is $4,000 and
found" as our Western neighbors
say. The presidents finding is rather
comprehensive, covering about every
possible requirement Of a family. His
private secretary, the clerks, door
keepers, messengers and steward, and
three other servants, cost us $33,S65 a
year. Then there is a contingent fund
of $4,000 a year which the president
may use according to his discretion.
In furniture and repairs to the
White House the sum of $4,000 more,
to be used by the direction of the
president, is provided by the nation,
and is always expended. For fuel
alone $4,000 is allowed, and for neces-
sary repairs to the greenhouse there
is $4,000.
Altogether the presidential finding
annually amounts to the snug surl Of
$64,S65 nearly $4,000 a year more
than his salary. The two aggregate
$114,865. This is an imposing aggre-
gate, but it is small compared with
other presidents. The president of the
French Republic receives as salary
1920, 900 a year, $32,4So for contingent
purposes, and a handsome house rent
free. So we get our president rather
cheaply after all.

The "new diplomacy" has been much
in mems mouths of late as a synonym
for honest, straightforward dealing be-
tween nations. 1t means, says Mr..
Chauncey Depew, that the liar has dis
appeared. The British ambassador to
France declared, in his recent disturb
ing speech, that it had been taught the
nations by the last three United States
ministers to Great Britain. OF one of
these, the late Thomas Bayard, the
Contemporary Review declares: HE
firmly believed that in telling the Eng
fish people what his W country
meant and what were it's genius, it's
duties and it's hopes, he was doing the
greatest good to mankind" Happily
the circumlocution Office of the ma
lions, as exemplified in Spain and
China, is going out of fashion.

Locomotive That Burns OIL.

The locomotives working through
the Arlberg tunnel, on the Austrian
State Railroad, now burn oil entirely.
They are specially designed heavy en-
gines, two-cylinder compounds, hay
ing cylinders $50 nm. and 800 nm. di-
ameter and 625 m. stroke. They have
eight wheels, all coupled, the wheels
being 1900 M. in diameter. The en-
gines formerly burned Bohemian coal,
but it was found almost impossible to
ventilate the tunnel. With the oil
fuel very little difficulty is experienced.
The oil burners used are of the type
devised by Mr.. Holden of the North
eastern Railway, in England.

To remember the names Of persons
is commonly regarded as the first
necessary qualification of politicians.
Oftentimes, however, they go too far
in trying to master this art, and so fall
into amusing blunders. Senator Vest
relates this story at the expense of
one of his senatorial associates. In
some way, he says, the senator, who
was usually good at remembering
names, had forgotten that of a county
chairman, and so bluntly asked it.
why" said the young chairman, in
offended dignity, I'm Jones! I thought
you knew me-" "Of course I do" re-
piled the senator, quickly, "but which
one of Mr.. Jones' sons are you? 1
knew your father well for years"
"And he had only n son." was the
unsympathetic reply.

The flag floating over the White
house in Washington indicates to all
who see it that the president is at
home. Whenever he is out of that city
the flag is carefully folded away. The
same custom prevails at the capitol.
Whenever either house of congress is
in session the flag flies over the wing
Of the building which that house occu-
pies. If there is an evening session a
bright light in the dome tells the story.
This is, in Washington, what might be
termed the Language of the flag"
