A Musical Christmas Tree.

The musical Christmas tree is the lat
est. You wind it up, and it revolves
slowly and plays a tune. 1t does it in
a dignified manner. 1t is no ragtime,
cakewalk affair, but a very CHEEKY, tink-
ling little melody that is sure to please
the youngsters and send them into &C.
stasies. The revolving Of the tree, too,
is a clever idea, for thus all sides are
brought around for inspection.
New ornaments for the Christmas tree
appear every season. Pretty little vases
come this year in bright colors, all till
sei-decked, and in them one can arrange
any manner Of gay decoration desired.

a good deal to do with getting demand

hard to pronounce it is undoubtedly a

The question Of employing swallows
instead of pigeons to carry dispatches
has been seriously considered in France;
according to the Journal des Sciences
Militaires. The aptitude of the swallow
for the work is by many held to be even
greater than that Of the pigeon. They
fly to greater height, and are therefore
less exposed to being shot, and they trav'
el faster, making good nearly eighty
miles an hour where pigeon would ge;
over fifty. 1t is also claimed for them
that they are more faithful, intelligent
and have not on long journeys to stop to
feed. as the pigeon has. 1t is also assert,
ed that the swallow can be more easily
and quickly trained. The only doubtful
point seems to be whether, on regaining
their liberty, they would not yield to
their migratory instincts and their de-
sire to seek warmer climes.

Quaint old Fraunce's tavern, one Of
the oldest landmarks of New York city,
was the scene the other afternoon of a
gathering of patriotic men and women.
They met to commemorate the one hun
dred and seventeenth anniversary Of
Gen. Washington's farewell to his OFF,
GERS, which was given in the tavern's
''long room" on December 4, 1888, and
to urge the city to take the necessary
steps to acquire and preserve the historic
inn. The affair was in charge Of the
Women's auxiliary to the Society for the
Preservation Of Scenic and Historic
Places and Objects that is an outgrowth
of the Martha Washington Colonial chap
ter, which has interested itself particu-
larly in urging the preservation Of the
Poe cottage, the Morris mansion and

have the city buy the. site, surround the
tavern by small park, restore it as near
as possible to its original semblance. and

The hero of the future is the captain of

whose merchant marine reach farthest

r. Fulton Cutting, president of the
New York Association for. Improving the
Condition of the Poor, in his annual re-
port, just issued, says: ''Of some 5000
cases investigated, cared for, passed up
on and closed during the year, the cause
of distress in 1911 instances is set down
as lack of work: in 119S instances as
sickness. The other causes operating
were shiftlessness in 245 cases, intem-
perance in 312, old age in 3O7, desertion
in 221. Five hundred and seyen-three
applicants We're not found at the ad-
dresses given, and 8O7 did not, in the
judgment of our staff, require aid. The
causes, as stated above, represent a fair
judgment of the cause Of distress at the
time, but too often, when we assign sick
ness, intemperance and desertion as
causes, we know that the tenement
house itself is the real underlying evil;
that herding large numbers of people in
contracted spaces has resulted in abnor-
NAL minds and unhealthy bodies, the log
ical consequence of which is burden

The exports of coal continue to grow
monthly, and in ten months this year
this country has shipped abroad coal and
coke to the value of almost $2O,OOO,OOO
In October the exports of coal were 5777,-
81 tons, valued at $1,626,585. Ir ten
months we have exported 6,572,381 tons
of coal, valued at .$17,842, ,749, and a
largely-increased quantity of coke. The
increase in the quantity of coal exported
this year is more than 100000 tons,
and the value has increased nearly $6,-
100000. For beginning, as the Phila-
delphia Press remarks, our foreign coal
trade is quite promising. We imported
this year coal valued at $4,OOO,O0O from
Nova Scotia into New England and from
British Columbia into the Pacific coast
states.

Fish Photographed in the Water.

Underwater photography has been con-
sidered hitherto a practical impossibility;
in fact, experiments made at the Brook
lyn navy yard by government experts
proved absolute failures. Now comes the
news that similar experiments have sue
ceeded admirably. NJ: Louis Boutan Of
Paris first accomplished the feat Of pho
tographing fish in their home element.
The great result obtained so far by Mons.
Boutan's experiments is the fact that it
is now established that, by means Of arti-
fetal light, photographs can be taken at
any depth in the water to which it is
possible for the operator to descend. So
far it has not been possible to reach Il
greater depth than 14O feet. 1t is also
established that it is possible to take
photographs at moderate depths by low
ering the apparatus, without having to
descend oneself, and by working the cam
era from the boat.-Pearson's Magazine.

plan is in operation in several European
cities Of smaller size, especially where
the garbage refuse Of local industries has

sufficient power can be generated to cover
the mere cost Of garbage collection, a
