Chinese Practise Polycamy.

The Chinese have their pecullaritles,
which do not impress the foreigners
fayorably; but Us class they are good
people. The children love and venerase
their elders, and 1t would be hard to
find Chinese boy who would not give
his life willingly to please or serve his
father. The young man is perfectly
satisfied to allow his mother to select
his wife-that Is, his first one. The
law recognizes only one wife, but
winks ut polygamy. When the wife
is of equal rank with her husband her
approval must be secured before the
additional wives are admitted, but If
she is lower in rank than her husband
she has no choice in the matter. The
children all call wife No. 1 mother
and if she should die No. 2 advances
to her place.

the ideal costume for school wear and

The Growing Demand for Automatic
N7athema IcIuus.

h7athematic CLANS.
There is unusual activity among Ia.
ventors at present In the effort to pro-
ducc machines for mathematical pur-
poses. and perhaps the largest number
Of applications received at the patent
office, Washington, for any one l;ne OF
invention these days are for patents
for improvements upon adding ma
chimes. The electric computers In use
ut the census Office have reached a
higher degree Of accuracy and speed
than any other automatic mathema
ticians, but there are many other de-
vices for making computations already
in use throughout the country which
are being rapidly improved, and even
in their imperfect state are great ad-
vantage where large calculations are
necessary.
"For many years many attempts,
more or less successful, have been
made by inventors to devise what are
known as adding machines" said
Commissioner of Patents Duell in Wash
ington the other day, "but not until
recently have such machines come into
general use for the double reason that
they are easily thrown out Of order
and cannot be repaired by the ordinary
mechanic, and secondly, because they
are not accurate. especially In carly
ing over from one denomination to
another, as from units to tens, tens
to hundreds, etc. Adding machines
are now coming into extensive use In
banks, counting houses and large busi-
ness concerns where long columns OF
figures are to be recorded and added,
and they serve to make an expert ac-
countant out of any one who can be-
come skilled In manipulating the keys,
for the machine, even in Its present
state of development. is less liable to
error than the human brain, because 1t
never gets tired.
"The adding machine upon which
inventors are now working with con-
siderable activity is one in which the
number Of unit types are set up by
means Of keys In position for printing.
Connected with these number types
are what are known as total-numDer
wheels, which when the number
types are restored to their position.
continue to move in the same direction
until all the numbers have been print
cd. These total-number wheels are
moved at each operation of the mo-
chine distance corresponding to the
key operated, 80 that as soon rs all
the separate numbers are printed one
may read Off from the total-number
wheels the sums Of MI the individually
recorded numbers, thus frequently
saving q long and arduous mental cal
culation.
"The earlier machines had many at
tachments that have been found to be
useless, and by emitting these invent
ors have made the present adding ma
chine comparatively simple. 1t is now,
their main effort to deyelop-a machine
tthut swill not make errors. This will
probably be accomplished by improv-
ing the apparatus that prevents the
inertia Of the overthrow movement ut
the end Of each operation, by keeping
the parts locked, except during the in-
slant of time that the operator Is
pressing the key, md by perfecting
the mechanism for transferring from
one denomination to another"

FIELD. .CADGE, WITH FALCONS AND sPANIELs.

block and roost, and the second part
of its education begins. The faleoner
takes the birds out separately and ex-
erclses them. A long string Is tied to
the Jess 10 leather strip about e'ght
irches long which always remains
around the falcons leg) and the BIRD
Is encouraged to fly In circles over the
falconer's head. When she gets TO
circling around pretty lively piece
of meat, or dead pigeon is thrown to
the ground, and, as the hawk has
not been fed, she stoops to 1t.
The falconer Is constantly with his
hawks, handling them and dissipating
their natural fear Of man, and every
effort is made to get them accustomed
to the presence Of strangers. This is
called "manning" G hawk.
Finally the education Of the hawk
Is so far advanced that she Is tried
afeld. The hawker, being IN the feld'
unhoods the falcon. which is sitting
on the gauntleted glove he wears on
his left hand, slips the leash from the
less, gives the bird o toss, and away
she scars in widening circles Until she
spies the quarry. when she swoops
down upon it and kills 1t. A piece OF
meat is given to the bird as q reward
and sheis taken up and hooded again.
When several hawks are taken out fol-
field work they are carried on a wood,
en- frame called a "cadge" until the
falconer gets ready to fly them. A
falconer after q successful day will
bring back home q bag Of pheasants,
hares, rabbits, quails, partridges, ETC.,
which will repay him for the trouble
he has had in training his falcons,even
If the sport itself did not-which II
does.
In North Africa falconry has been
for vast number of years q favorite
sport. Ancient Egyptian carvings
seem to show that 1t existed in the
days Of the Pharoahs. At this day
the Bedouins fly their falcons and 60
following them over the sandy plains
of Tunis and Tripoli on their feet
horses. The reintroduction Of falconry
as o sport into Europe has been Sc
successful that international meetings
are now held. In q recent contest OF
falcons at Spa, Belgium, several prizes
were taken by the hawks belonging to
@. e. Radcliffe, IN Englishman. who
devoted much time to the sport. His
hawks are especially well trained. and
were much admired Mt the meeting ir
Belgium. He has the advantage OF
an open country around his home al
Wareham, in Dorset, SO that whel
game is flushed the falcons have fail
chance Of striking their quarry. Il
should be observed that it Is the fe
male hawk which Is employed in fal
conry. Falcons are found in almost
all parts of the world. and peregrines
can be bought in this country ant
trained if the sport of hawking ever
crosses the ocean, and 1t Is likely to

can ayuany miles. they always re-
turn at; feeding time. This Is the most
anxious tire fer the falconer. He
must k5.ow just when to stop dRss
excurslons for his young hawks, for IL
lie gives them liberty too long the
natural instincts of the bird will as
sert themselves and she viii stoop to
some natural quarry, such as pheas-
ant or pigeon. If she begins to do
this she will feel her strength and
gradually desert her home and go for
aging FOR herself. Another danger
when the young hawks are flying free
is thats they may be shot by some
Gamekeeper, who takes the bird for
wild falcon. To obyiate such an un-
happy ending, bells are attached to
the hawks legs which, by their warn-
ing sound, give notice to the game

who had voted in the affirmative on that

Luton:
