BOGUS MONEY IN CIRCULATION.

poor imitation, being made of lead
and have not the sound or surface

An Buoy.

Man has long since succeeded In
pressing the running waters-the rush.
ing brook and the majestic stream
into his service, but he does not yet
avail himself of the unlimited power
wasted by the mighty, restless sea.
He still fails to gather any transmissi-
BILE power even from the Unreasonable
force Of the tides.
1t is therefore gratifying to hear Of
any successful effort in this direction.
Lately Herr NJ. Gehre, a German en-
gineer, has invented a buoy whose
merit consists In that wav action
lights 1t electrically. The apparatus
needs no attention for months at q
time. Even the lightest waves gener-
ate the light. while the heaviest storms
fail to put 1t out. Furthermore, in this
device wave action also operates q
large bell, three resembling strokes
being given before every fash Of the
light. These buoys are now being
largely employed in the shallow water
along the German coast.

A Berlin dispatch to the London
Post quotes Professor Schenk as say
ing In a lecture the other day that In

and, having little means to feed either
himself or his pets, they often hun
gered. He was struck with the fact
that the progeny Of the worms were
nearly all male. Carrying his lnvesti.
cations further, he came to the con-
clusion that diet exercised an enor-
nous influence on the formation Of
the sex. which, he maintains, is pre-
determined In the egg. To influence
sex. a dietary system must therefore
be pursued for some months.
