burglar Alarm Designed to Warn OFF
Chicken Thieves.
You might Think said an electri-
clan, that burglar alarms are made
only for houses and stores and banks
and that sort Of thing, but they have
nowadays electric burglar alarms made
Tor chicken coops to circumvent the
chicken thief. The chicken house is so
wired with the help Of simple contri-
Vances designed for that purpose that
the opening OF any door or window in
its sets ringing a gong in the owners
house, which is connected with the
chicken coop by wire, and the thief
cant stop the gong's ringing by shut
ting the door or window again; it can be
shut off in the house only.
whats to hinder the thief cutting
the wire? Why, nothing, suppose, II
he could find it in the dark, but while
these alarms are set up with overhead
wires from the coop to the house they
may be connected by wires under
ground, suitable insulated wire being
provided for this purpose For that
matter there is one system in which
the alarm is started by the breaking
of a wire. 1t is a more or less familiar
fact that the chicken thief sometimes
avoids all doors and windows, for fear
Of trap guns and that sort of thing, az
just lifts a board off the roof to get i
the chickens, this being handy way
also, because from there he can pick
the chickens off the roost conveniently.
But nowadays there runs across every
board on the under side Of the roof a
light, easily broken wire, which is,
however, sufficient to carry the required
current. 1t is impossible to lift a board
in the roof without breaking the slender
wire, and, in this case, by means Of
suitable contriyances the breaking of
the wire starts the bell to ringing.
1.-THE cost Of q chicken coop burglar
alarm for a single chicken coop, wire
connections with the house and all,
would be very small, few dollars.
The cost of setting up complete bur
glar alarm system for a big chicken
ranch, with many coops and buildings,
would of course be considerable,
amounting to $500 or $500, more or
less.'-Chicago Chronicle.

vantage in his mission, as more liable
to attract the attention and respect of
the population in the different places
he visited. In fact, no effort was needed
to get an audience together, for great
crowds usually collected about him,
anxious to learn what the tall stranger

Tired of these continual interrupt

the curiosity of his listeners from the

DID AS SHE WAS TOLD.
But the Footpad Was Much Surprised
az a CONSEQUENCES.

But the Footpad Was Much Surprised
as consequences.
1t happened out on suburban boule-
ward the other night and the heroine
is an athletic girl out Of high school
only year. The girl was returning to
her home little later than is custom
airy for young women to be on the
streets, and when she was within a
block Of her house d man sprang out
from behind a tree and demanded her
pocketbook. Upon the girls hesitation
to give up her money the man stepped
nearer and growled:
Hand me your pocketbook, and be
quick about it, and don't make any
FUSS"
Now the pocketbook that the girl
carried was the kind that has a strap
which slips over the owners hand, and
when it is worn it lies over the back OF
the fingers.
When the man made a second de-
mand for the pocketbook, the girl STEP
ped close to him and ''handed' it to
him, but not in the manner expected.
She just landed one on the jaw with
the hand that carried the pocketbook.
The leather spread out over the little
fist, and as there was considerable sill
yer in it, the blow was vicious. The
robber went down in heap.
He was on his feet in a second and
came back at the girl with a look of
the greatest surprise on his face.
"Hand me that pocketbook," he
growled.
GAIL right answered the girl, strik-
ing him again on the side of the Jaw.
This time the man did not get up SO
quickly, but lay moment grooming on
the ground. This was the advantage
the girl was looking for, and she took
to her heels and was soon within her
home. And here follows another queer
part of this true tale. When she flew
through the doors of her home and was
met by her mother and sisters, this
strange girl didn't faint, but she just
sat down and laughed loud, ringing,
wholesome laugh, and made light of
her adventure, thus further SCATTERING
the traditions of her sex.-Kansas City

GIVE UP THEIRLIVES.
DOCTORS SOMETIMES DIE FOR
THEIR PATIENTS.
Heroic Physicians Whose Devotion tn
Their Profession and to Humanity
Lead Then, to the Performance of Su.
preme Acts of Sacrifice.

A young girl who lived in the little
village near Cork, Ireland, broke an
artery in her chest and lost almost ey-
cry drop Of blood in her body. The
doctor who was called had only been
qualified year and was not out of his
twenties. He injected salt into his pa
TENTS veins to bring her around, then,
turning to her naturally anxious par
ents, he said: II can save her life il
anyone will allow me to inject a quart
Of their blood into her system"
Although there were two strong sons
in the room, neither said a word, but
their mother, a delicate woman, volun-
teered to give the required quantity.
The doctor saw at once that she re-
quired every drop she had in her body,
and without another word he barred his
arm, cut vessel and allowed the blood
to run into the veins of his patient. He
saved the young lady's life, but he was
never able to make good the blood he
had lost, and about six months later he
died.
Another case somewhat similar oc-
CURED in Salem, Mass. A wealthy mer-
chant, as q result Of an accident, lost
large quantity of blood and when the
doctor arrived he was lying in bed,
white and apparently dead. The un-
fortunate man had only just been mar
rled, and his wife prayed to the doctor
to save her husbands life. The doctor
felt sure that If he gave his own blood
to bring back the patients life it would
take him weeks to make good the loss,
and that possibly he might never make
it good at all. He would not allow the
wife to make the sacrifice, but gave
nearly quart of his own blood. The
merchant recovered, but the doctor
who gave him back his strength and
life is feeble, pale-faced man, unable
to work or follow his profession. He
lives with the merchant and his wife,
who look after him as if he were their
own brother.
A country doctor died Of typhus fever
early in the year. He was called to at
tend a young man who was infected
with the disease, and he went into the
room where the patient lay and care
fully examined the body At the time
the doctor was in a low state of health,
and he caught the dreaded fever and
died within a fortnight.
A young French doctor some time ago
inoculated himself with cholera germs
and suffered many weeks of serious ILL.,
ness in order to experiment with new
medicinal discovery which was be-
lleVed to cure all germ Diseases Unfor-
tunately, the medicine refused to act,
and the plucky doctor died of the fever
he had given himself.
When Koch's fluid was first discov-
cred half a dozen German students
were the first persons to have it inject
ed into them. No one knew whether
the fluid was not as deadly a poison as
dose Of strychnine, and the men who
allowed the drug to be injected into
their systems are worthy of the highest
praise. The dose given to them was
far too powerful, and two of the num-
Der were nearly killed outright.

Gun to Fire 10000 Bullets Minute.

Oun ~ Flfc s1O,OOO Bullets a Minute.
1t is reported that James Judge,
managing partner of the Walker En-
cheering and Galvanizing Company,
has patented a gun which he believes,
when perfected, will discharge the
enormous number Of 10000 bullets per
minute. The gun discharges it's mis-
siles by centrifugal force" being, in
fact, a wonderful development of the
ancient sling. It has 4 disc working
within case at $4,000 revolutions per
minute, speed which has already
been obtained in practice. From the
circumference of the disc project two
hands. The bullets are poured into the
case from hopper, and as they fall are
caught by the hands, which in coming
rain them out in a continuous stream
through an orifce. They are guided
into a sleeve which may be elevated
or depressed and sighted like the muz-
zle of rifle. The disc of the gun is
about 3 feet in diameter, and as it
travels at the rate of $4,000 revolutions
per minute the circumferential rate is
$4,000 feet. This would impel bullets
with tremendous muzzle velocity, and
at close range would, Mr.. Judge
declares, mean absolute humiliation to
an enemy.

BIRD SUPERSTlTlONS.
Some of the Quaint Rhymes That Used
To Be Believed.

SO"e Oh the quaint HnyudeS 1HaC OSeu
To Be Believed.
To dream of the lark is good aug
ury for future wealth, health and
riches won by industry. 1t is somewhat
doubtful if search among old lore and
records Of the past would reveal a sim
gle omen, legend or proverb disrespect"
full to this merry bird. We are told, IF
larks fly high and sing long, expect fine
weather." and another representation
is evidenced if they rise before they
sing at dawn, with an overcast sky,
when rain may be looked for, but when
they fly very high, singing as they rise,
a fine day is to be expected. If field
larks congregate in flocks severe cold is
indicated. Regarding finches, the plain
tive note of this bird is by many taken
as indicating rain, and in Scotland the
following jingle is common:
''Weetweet
Dreep-dreepv'
The feathered denizens Of the farm
proverbs, such as "Children and chick
en- must always be pickin'," Courses,
like chickens, come home to roost,"
"A laying hen is better than standing
mill, - "Sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander,' '"The fool puts his last hen
in the pot '"The growing cock loves
his own music" and "Geese follow
their leader, if he's a big enough
goose OF fowls there is rhyme thus:
If fowls roll in the sand.
Rain is at hand,'
And when they look toward the sky, or
roost in the daytime, rain may be ex-
pected; but if they trim their feathers
during a storm the rain is about to
cease, while their standing on one leg
is considered a sign Of cold weather.
With regard to ducks and geese, we
are told:
''When ducks are driving through the
burn
That night the weather takes turn"
In the Morayshire there is a rhyme
thus:
"Wild geese, wild geese, ganging to the
sea,
Good weather it will be;
Wild geese, wild geese, ganging to the
hill,
The weather it will spill.'
The Whiteness of goose's breast
bone is supposed to indicate or fore
shadow the quantity Of snow during
the coming winter, as shown in the fol-
lowing lines:
''lf the November goosebone be thick,
So will the winter weather be;
If the November goosebone be thin,

When turkeys perch on trees and re-
