BLOW TO THE DIME NOVEL.
No Detective of the secret-service Bu-
 reau Disguises Himself.

''No such things as disguises are used by men of the secret-service bu- reau," said Chief Wilkie of that or ganization to Washington Star man. ''The boy who reads the 10-cent lit erature describing the many lightning changes and disguises made by alleged sleuths of the government and other services fmagines these stories to be true, and the impressions he receives remain with him for long time. As matter of fact, no detective is known, and do not know of such thing as disguise for a secret-serv- ice case ever worked by an operator of tae h1ra2u in which false faces or otae. ;tieles of this kind have ever been used. I do not know of reput- able detective in any city or state who uses disguises. They are not effective, and the best-informed men in the run- hing down of criminals believe that they do harm and quickly expose the man who is attempting to operate a case. The men of the secret-servfce of the government frequently clothe themselves to suit the vicinity and the people among whom they are at work. For instance, if man is at work in an agricultural vicinity and among people who would suspect the attire of well-dressed person. he does not wear the best clothes or linen which has been finished by a Chinaman or steam laundry. His attire is in keep ing with his situation and circum- stances. He may let his beard grow long and become careless in keeping his clothes dusted. If he is at work in a city among Italians, for instance, he deports himself in such way as to keep from advertising himself as a detective of the government If he did not he would be unable to acquire in- formation from the class of people who were perpetrating the violations of the laws of the United States. Everything depends on the necessities of the case, but under no circumstances would we permit an operator of the bureau to bother with such cheap articles as wigs, false faces, mustaehes and the like"

nIiilet,a "Anee1us.n

There are few pictures which have so stirred the heart of humanity as Millet's sAngelus.' The girl who sup piled the model for the woman's figure was Adele Marier. who constantly re- appears in the famous French artists pictures. It is stated that she retained no resemblance of the man who posed with her. He was mere ..Waif and stray, who probably little suspected that his assumed attitude of prayer was to be thus immortalized.

Experiments with Wireless Telegraphs

Experiments with Wireless Telegraphy
 Experiments are reported with wire less telegraphy during ten days be- tween Chamonix and the Vallot Ob- servatory on Mont Blanc; the straight distance was seven and five one-hun- dredths miles and the difference in height two miles. After a deserip- tion of the transmitting and receiving stations, the results are summed up as follows: The experiments were made every day during eleven hours. The signals were satisfactory only for a distance between the osci1lator spheres equal to eight one-hundredths of an inch. The absence of water in liquid form did not interfere, neither did the intervention of clouds. Although at mospheric electricity actuated the ap- paratus several times. it did not make communication impossible.

WINTER AND HEALTH.
tue of Cold as Tonic to Repair the
 Injuries of Summer.

nod
 Injuries of Summer.
 em Many persons regard the winter sea- son as an unfortunate visitation. It is considered both uncomfortable to the body and harmful to health. This is an error. Cold is most potent agent for canr the restoration and preservation of normal activity on the part of the or U 4Q gans of the human body. It is wise plan of Providence which gives us a change of seasons. The winter cold comes as tonic to repair the injuries u. done by the enervating heat of sum- nler. Summer, it is true, has many wise uses in the matter of health. It induces outdoor life, rlds the system of poisons through copious precipitation, and through the seorehing rays of the sun a,4 destroys germ life. Winter is the great
 TT bracer of the system. It stimulates nos Ayity in every organ When cold Ssfacks the surface of the body, the blood is set into more free circulation as means of bodily warmth It is through the circulation of the blood that the human anatomy is kept in a ss state of repair When the food has X been digested and converted into lfq- gisE uid form, 1t is taken up by the blood and carried the rounds of the system for the purpose of repairing the waste places. When the cold causes increased cireulation, it also brings about more perfect nutrition. Through the exces- -& sive demand for nutrient matter which quiekened circulation causes there is . improved digestion. The entire repair machinery is stimulated to renewed in- dustry. The Wintry air, as is we'll known, brings with 1t sense of re-
 newed strength and vitality. The re- Asorative power of cold is well illus 1Ased in the case of the dash of cold
 sssr in the face of fainting person. When person is in faint there is 8 practical suspense of life for the time. yet an application of cold water to the face promptly restores circulation and reneWs life. This same fact is illus ? trated by the cold face bath on rising from bed in the morning.. Indians who, if not now, in former days roamed 2 our western borders, practically with out clothing to shelter their bodies, be- came, through long exposure, so inured to the cold that it gave them but little diseomfort-st.

Think the War Balloon Is New Deity.

Think the War BaIIoOh IS Nsw 7teIty.
 The war is responsible for increas- Ing the number of fetishes and sink ing the natives still more deeply in the mire of supers tition. The natives in the neighborhood of Ladysmith have come to the conclusion that the war balloon is new and unusually potent deity They thought the same of the bag-pipers in the last Zulu war, and one old warrior thus expressed him. self: White man carry his god under his arm pinch him and then he squeal for black mans blood. Very bad that" But the balloon must seem even more incontestably supernatural than the piper.

SiCILiAN BRlGANDS
Have Been rerrorizing the Islands Dur.
 ing the Past Year.


 Rome Correspondence of the Chi eago Record: Public security is at a low ebb in Sicily. Energetic measures have been adopted to stamp out brig. andage in the island, but unless these are persisted in there are slight hopes of definitely wiping away this standing disgrace of Italy I am glad to say that in the continental kingdom life ajaa property are comparatively secure. TSAgrams from Catania announce that ths# brigand chiefs Santangelo and Destefano have been killed and their followers dispersed in an encounter with the cara biniers, but they will as.
 semble again under some other blood thirsty villain. Santangelo was only 21 and he entered on his lawless ca reer in the mountains early in 1928, after having fired on policeman who was trying to arrest one of his friends. In September of that year he murdered a field labofer who had refused his supplies. He joined Destefano's band in the forests around Mount Etna, In January last the two descended to the smiling Piana di Catania and entered a farm where several laborers were at work. They beeloned to one of them "a man named Puleo, who was said to be in relations with the poliee-and told the others to stand aside. Puleo came up and was foully murdered. In May, in an attempt to capture them, one carabinier was killed and another wounded The brigands Manzelea and Castiglione were surprised by the po- lice in a house at Castellamare, near Palermo. They were wounded and ar rested after a severe conflict. In the same district other freebooters seized
 thAs of well-to-do notary, took hiR up to the hills and obtained S4,00O for his ransom. The police, while III search of the scoundrels, came upon another band of marauders and sue ceeded in a running fight in killing one of them and recovering much stolen
 property. The latest statistics give 27.9 murders per 100000 inhabitants in Sicily, while in Tuscany and upper Italy the average is about per 100000.
