Emery of the board of health has made
the discovery that Chinese are record
ing their certificates of birth in the re-
cofder Office many years after the
births occurred. whereas the law re-
quires that they shall be recorded
within 30 days. Mr.. Emery sees in this
violation of the law chance for the
Celestials to evade the seclusion act by
sending the certificates to Chinese in
the Orient who are DESTROYS of quitting

cumVent the provisions of the act.

Vacancy On Court Not Yet FILLED. .Schiey's
Counsel Hard n Work.

Washington, Aug. l.-Formal action
in the matter of the Schley court of in
uuiry. today. was confined to the dis
patch of a letter TO Admiral Dewey
stating that the department herewith
transmits copies OF letters dated July
q and Aug. l. respecting the precept
under which the court of inquiry in the
case of Rear Admiral Schley is to be
convened
The court through Admiral Dewey
had already been supplied with a new
ly printed copy of the precept itself.
The correspondence referred to is Adj
miral Schley's letter suggesting the
omission of the departments express
sion of opinion, touching his alleged
disobedience of orders. and the reply
from Acting Secretary Hackett. de-
clining to make this modification.
The vacancy in the court caused by
Rear Admiral Kimberly's application
to be relieved has not yet been filled.
1t is believed that the department is
communicating by wire and letter with
some of the retired rear admrals who
are regarded as on the eligible list. 1t
has no desire to make public any de-
clinatiOns, and ii is understood that
the name of the person chosen will not
be published until he has finally ac-
cepted the assignment.
Capt Parker of counsel for Admiral
Schley continued his work at the navy
department. today. scanning the log
books and other records bearing upon
the operations of the West Indian fleet.
He hopes to finish this week.
The following are the letters that
have passed between Admiral Schley
and the navy department respecting
the precept:

A Costly job of Painting.

Eighteen years ago, says the Kenne-
bee (N1e) Journal, a Northeast Harbor
man wanted to paint his house. lie ap-
preached an Ellsworth man and told
him if he would let him have $50 to
paint his house he would give him the
deed to a piece of land which he owned
at Northeast HarbOr. 1t wasn't much
good for farming land, but might be
worth something some day. The ELS
worth man gave him $50 and took q
deed Of the land. \ short time after.
ward he sold half interest in the piece
TO another Ellsworth man for 81 200. \
few years ago they were asked for an
option on the land at $4,000, Of which
81 800 was paid down, TO be forfeited
IL the land was not bought. The pUr-
chase was not made and the Ellsworth
men pocketed the s., 500 forfeit. \ year
or two later they sold onc-quarter Of
the piece for $500 They still own
three-quartprS of the original piece, and
it would take something like $4,000 to
buy it. How that Northeast HarbOr
man must wish he hadn't painted his
house,

LEARNING TELEGRAPHY.
A Novel Device That should Aid
WnmIh BE OncrnInrs.

1t takes the ordinary telegraph pupil
a long time to read infallibly the tick
ing of the Souuder An instrument has
appeared. says a writer in the Chicago
Record Herald which is designed 10
simplify instructions in tclcgraphy and
to give in a comparatively short time "A
complete knowledge of the Morse al
phabct.
The omnigraph as this instrument is
called. consists of a base board on
which are an ordinary key and sounder
and a toothcd disk. \ spring contact
adjacent to the wheel engages the pc
riphcral teeth of the disk. If the disk
be rotated, the spring contact is forced
outwardly by the teeth but drops back
automatically and thus makes and
breaks the circuit. The experienced
telegraph operator detecting these
makes and breaks Of the sounder rec
ognizcs them as the dots and dashes Of
the Morse alphabet.
A close inspection Of the disk reveals
the fact that the teeth are so arranged
as to spell the sentence John quickly
.extcmporiZed five tow bags" If the
disk be turned in a forward direction,
this sentence, thus oddly worded to in
clude every letter Of the alphabet, is
licked off at the soUuder If rotated in
the opposite direction, the sentence will
be tclegraphcd backward.
This disk. which is completely under
tho central Of tho Stu1put can bp tUru-
ed at any desired speed. thus giving
him an admirable opportunity of try
ing himself at all gaits. If he is not a
quick reader, the practice can be taken
AT slow rate and gradually worked up
until it reaches a speed that would try
the most skillful operator. When the
student has learned TO receive mes
sagcs ut all grades of speed, ne can
take up the transmission Of messages
in the regular way by means Of the
key which forms part Of the apparatus.
