Telephone CORRESPONDING.

1t Is common failing of human ma
ture to take too much interest in ether
peoples affairs, and curiosity some
times extends so far that one person
will listen to conversation betwee i
two others when they are all on the
same telephone line The growing
use of the telephone in the rural dis
tricts opens the way to new form Of
eavesdropping. 1t is difficult to in
dulge in this practice without detec-
tion, however. The Electrical Review
tells the following story:
A man in Ohio has been made by his
neighbors to pay fine Of $25 for
eavesdropping over the telephone.
Some time ago the farmers of a Ger.
tain town organized a telephone com.
pany and installed their instrument
on the party principle, by which ar
rangement all the bells on the circuit
ring when call is made. After a
while the subscribers became aware
that some one listened to their tele-
phonic conversations, and they deter
mined to find out who the eavesdrNp-
per was. Il was, however, entirely By
accident that the cuiprit was discov-
cred. One afternoon a week or two
ago two of the farmers were talking
over the line, when the unmistakable
sound of transmitter being removed
from its hook reached them. Instant
ly they ceased their conversation, and
in the momentary silence that fol-
lowed both distinctly heard the sharp,
clear chime of clock striking the
hour. The clock in question had a
chime whose peculiar tone when
struck was familiar to both men, who
at once knew who the listener was.-

Men of Unsound Minds.

To find a land where lunatics are
successful artisans, tillers of the soil
and builders of railways one needs to
Hospital for the Insane where inmates
make their own clothing and shoes,
manufacture brooms and tin-ware and
perform much of the ordinary labor
of the institution. They work the
farm of 1900 acres which is connected
with the institution and raise all the
food necessary for the hundreds of
patients there, besides putting up
enough canned fruit to supply all the
other late insane asylums. But the
greatest work performed by the
patients at Willard was the building
of the railroad which connects ii
with the Lehigh Valley Road, six
miles distant. Nearly all of the actual
work in the building of this railway
was done by the lunatics, and done
well. This idea of giving to the in
mates of the institution steady work
and as much of it as possible out of
doors has had beneficial effect upon
them.
In the Pennsylvania Hospital for
the Insane the inmates do some cred
table work in modelling in clay, pro-
ducing pottery and busts of really
good workmanship and artistic de-
sign. In Great Britain and some other
European countries a system of rea-
sonable work for the inmates of in
sane asylums has been introduced
with excellent results. The first in
stitution for the treatment of insanity
as disease was established in this
country through the efforts of Ben
jamin Franklin in 1851. England had
no such institution until forty-one
years later, and France followed
forty three years later. Great changes
have been made in the treatment of
the insane in the last fifty years. Half
a century ago 40 per cent. Of the
patients were under physical re-
straint Now it is said that there are
only about / per cent. so restrained

DRIVING Fous Away.

Professor Lodge, of Liverpool, has
devised a way to dispense fogs by
merely discharging FRACTIONAL electric
ity into them. He clears room of
smoke by means of the discharges
from small machine. When the
air is full of water dust, or fog, the
electricity discharged into it causes
the fog to coagulate into drops,
which fall as rain. The professor
has not worked out his system on
large scale, but argues that steamers
at sea having dynamos, can generate
all the electricity they need for clear.

has observed the heavy fall of rain in
thunderstorm just after a fash of
lightning near by. A static charge
of 10000 volts, such as a steamer
could produce, would produce a very
respectable thunderbolt.

The preparation of simple and

important German industry and like

four to six parts of the former to be-

LIGHT FROM UNKNOWN METAL.
Miners Puzzled to Account for a Curl.
Gus Phenomenon.

Gus phenomenon.
Residents of Boise City, Idaho, are
very much excited over the discov-
cry Of a mineral which has illuminat
ing power The discovery was made
by George f. Ayres, a well-known
mining man of Boise, several weeks
ago in one of his claims about sixty
miles from Boise. At the time he
did not think much of the matter, and
therefore, paid no attention to it. The
farther he went into the mine, how.
until, after a few feet had been work
ed, it was not necessary for him to
use lamp. 1t was then that he took
some of the mineral to Boise and had
it examined by an sssayer.
Terry l.. Williams OF Boise, who is
interested with Mr.. Ayres, was in
Tacoma, Wash, recently and had a
piece of the mineral with him. He
will have an assay of it made and ex-
poets that its true worth will be de-
termined.
so far we have not been able to
find any person who can tell what
kind of mineral it is" he. said when ex-
hibiting it, land it is for that purpose
| have brought it here. There is a
large body of it in the mine where this
was taken out, about sixty miles from
Boise City. Mr.. Ayres, owner of the
mine, found it four weeks ago at a
depth of 300 feet from the surface He
was running cross-cut tunnel to tap
his ledge at this depth when he struck
this deposit.
'At first it attracted his attention
by giving forth a dull light AS he
worked farther in the light became
brighter, and at the end Of three
days work he was able to go ahead
without the aid of lamp. Then the
mineral became curiosity and some
of it was taken to Boise. It was ex-
amined, but there is no one who has
been able to tell just what it is.
"Mr. Ayres took a piece OF it to his
cabin and after night tried to make it
show light, but it was not so bright
as it had been in the tunnel. This is
attributed to the atmospheric condi-
tons and is undoubtedly true. for In
the experiments that have been made
with 1t In Boise we have been able to
reproduce the atmospheric conditions
in water that prevail where the min
eral is found, and therefore it is not
thought that we will have any trouble
in getting the desired result
$50 far as we have been able to
learn this is the first of the mineral
ever found in the world. All assayers
to whom we have shown it say they
never heard Of it before and they are
not able to tell what 1t is. We will
go ahead and try to put it to some use,
and even at the present time are rea-
sonably sure of success. If it does
come out as we expect the mine will
be more valuable than we ever be-
lieved.
"Thre is large body of the deposit
and the farther we go in the stronger
becomes the light. Another thing that
we are convinced of is perpetual
light, for In the throwing off of it's
rays there does not appear TO be any
waste of the mineral. Since the dis
covery there has been large number
of visitors to the mine, and interest
in the outcome is being watched by all
in the vicinity of where the deposit
was uncovered. Northwest Maya.

IRELAND HAS NO WOLVES.
Passing of the Last of the Species
Was Notable Event.


Ireland vas much infested with
woles dtsn to period comparatively
recent. That noble dog, the Irish
wolf hound, has been bred from re-
mote times for their destruction.
Lord William Russell records in his
diary shat in 1896 he and Lady
Russell went wolf hunting at Xii.
mainham-quite close to the capital
In LILO, presentment was made =
County Cork for destroying the beasts,
and Macaulay quotes a poem pub
Ished in 1719 to prove that they vera
quite common in Munster at that time.
A writer in the Dublin Penny Maya
zine was acquainted with an old man
whose mother remember ed that many
i woles were slain in Wexford about
l73O-40; and he cites popular tradi-
ton that the last wolf was killed N
the Wicklow mountains in 100. The
same writer narrates some interest
ing circumstances relating to the
slaughter of the last wolves of Tyrone.
1t appears that the people of those
parts were much troubled by two
wolves, who committed great ravages
upon their flocks.
A reward was offered, and noted
hunter, Rory CarTash, sente for. He
agreed to attempt the destruction Of
the beasts. There was large stone
built sheepfold which the marauders
were accustomed to visit, and thither
Carragh repaired at midnight, ac-
companied only by boy IL years of
age and two wolf hounds. Now"
said Carragh TO the boy, "as the two
wolves usually enter the opposite ex-
tremities of the shepfold at the same
time, l must leave you and one of the
dogs to guard this one while 1 go to
the other. He steals with all the eau
ton Of cat; nor will you hear him,
but the dog will, and positively will
give him the first fall; If, therefore,
you are not active when he is down,
to rivet his neck to the ground with
this spear, he will rise up and kill
both you and the dog. So good
night"
III DO what | can" said the little
boy, as he took the spear from the
wolf hunters hand.
Carragh departed for his own sta
ton, and the boy, entering the in
closure, crouched down within the
gate with the dog beside him. The
cold and darkness affected the child
so much that soon, in spite of his
danger, he dozed off into stupor
He was reused by the roar of the
great dog as he bounded upon the wolf
that was stealing by. The hound
flung his enemy upon the ground and
so held him for an instant. Then the
boy drove his spear with a good will
through the VOLTS throat, just as
Carragh returned, bearing the head
OF the other.-London Spectator.
