An exchange says a man was re-
Gently arrested and fined $50 for lis
tening to a telephone message passing
over a line in which he owned phone
3 and telling what he overheard. The
theory was that messages or CONVEX
sations over the wires are confidential
and the fact that he owned a phone
gave him no right to anything he
might have heard by accident or 9TH
wise. If you have phone you will
agree that this is a good law although
you sometimes happen to hear some
amusing and interesting things which
were not intended for your ears.
An Atkinson woman has habit
of eating too much and she invented
a method of knowing when she had
enough and will have her discovery
patented. An ingeniously made lit
tie alarm bell is set in her corset and
when the pressure of the corset from
eating amounts to so many pounds to
the square inch the alarm is set off
and the woman must quit. Some
times she is in the midst of a Juicy
steak. or she may be just tasting a
delicious dish of ice cream or she may
have Just reached her coffee, when the
pressure set the alarm off, then she
quits. When visitors are at the house
the alarm startles them a little at
first. but they soon get used to the
gong. The inventor SAYS that the
alarm has been of more benefit to her
than a score of doctors.
