lately set about to overcome these dis

Mason's version he has done so to n

the whole story with technical details:

point is that without increase of cost

strong as glaSs-so strong it can be
used on railway trains--and which
lasts much longer than the thoria -ceria

Our consul general at Frankfort tells
of an automatic system of signals for
the purpose Df warning vessels in
stormy weather against the proximity
of reefs and rocks. which has been
brought to the attention of the German
marine experts. The automatic part
of the apparatus is said to consist of a
wheel with number of cogs arranged
at suitable intervals, which slide over
d Morse apparatus. The latter is con.
neCted with a ladder placed vertically
on rising ground on shore or on a
lighthouse. The electric waves en-.
anating are taken up by receiving ap-
paratus on vessels having such within
a radius of seven miles. a bell sounds
and the receiver notes the spot agains

indefinitely. No better news service

that kind. just pass on, please, but IL
you're only the common. every day sort
of fellers who amt afraid of being n
little shocked, jest walk right in; only
25 cents" The way they walk right
in and the harvest of quarters that
canny Snowman is reaping is said to be
startling. Oddly enough, there are APP
parently no good Y. NJ. G. A. boys and
no preachers or Sunday school teach
ers in the crowds who mind be-
ing trine shocked, for they go in pro-
miscuously. once in, it is declared that
the only attraction presented is a dare
ing girl, known by the interesting
name of Little Egypt" and the dance
she does is so decorous that the crowd
goes out about as fast as 1t goes in.
ltut with the pervcrsity of mankind,
those who have been sold prefer to hold
their peace and not enlightcn the other
victims who throng the doors.
There was a vast concourse OF peo-
pie, as they say at Ocean Grove, the

that the Midway people probably know

very respectable by the Board of Di-
rectors They endcavor to be severely
correct with regard to everything, and
it is true that Il man need not heSi-
tate to take his family into almost
anything on the famous street. To
my mind the Philippine village is the
most interesting thing on the Mid
way: not alone because of ones eN-
pansonist principles, but from the ac-
| tual attractiveness of the charming
people and their queer little habita-
tions. The village, which is a repro
duction of native street in Manila,
seems like IA series of play houses,
so frail and slight are these bamboo

would no more trust yourself upon

rooms than you would swing on Il
spiders web or try to walk on a
clothesline. But they are so eXquis-
itely neat, these little people. The
houses are white and speckless within
and the queer little brown house
mothers are most dainty in their per-
|
sweet and clean as the most fastidious
could demand, and in their scanty
"pinOs" apparel they are the prettiest
creatures imaginable, their skin be-
ing such a lovely cafe-au-lait color
and so Satiny soft. In chat with

1t was IA small ball, scarcely the size

the ball in motion by hitting it with
his feet. 1t did not at all matter

he could pitch it in any direction with
