The history Of wireless telegraphy
would not be complete without some
mention of Joseph Henry, Americas
greatest scientist for it was he who
first, in 1912, discovered the oscillatory
character Of certain electric discharges
and who showed that these oscillations
produced disturbances which could by
suitable receivers be detected at dis
tances Of many rods and through in
tervening buildings, writes Professor
Joseph Ames in The Review Of Re-
views. He even arranged an apparatus
on this principle to respond to the
lightning discharges Of distant storms.
The great genius Of Henry was never
more apparent than in his investiga-
ton of electrical discharges and their
oscillatory nature. 1t Is lasting tes-
timony to the ignorance among Ameri-
cans of their own great men that the
name of Joseph Henry was not includ-
ed in the first so selected for the Hall
of Fame of the nation.

1t is a peculiar fact that but one
bunch of bananas grows on a tree.
After the fruit has been cut the tree is
then cut down to the ground, and from
the stump another tree sprouts which
bears another bunch the following
year. The greatest trouble Of farmers
is to keep the farms clear Of sprouts.
They shoot up from the roots Of the
tree for a radius Of ten feet and grow
like weeds.
AS the fruit is. cut from the trees 1t
Is placed on the backs Of little pack
donkeys and transported in this way
to the coast. One donkey can carry
from three to six punches, according to
the size of the punches and the dis
tance from the coast. In the season at
Baracoa there are more than 5000 don
keys that stretch along in line for
miles, plodding toward the coast with
their loads Of bananas.

How many people dine alone? The
restaurants all number solitary diners
among their regular clientage. How
many thousands Of people, men or wo-
men, will eat lone dinner or supper
tonight in the cities and towns and
hamlets of Christendom? The evil of
eating alone is the subject Of an ear,
nest although cheerful warning from
the London Lancet. The hygienic val
ue of gregarious dining Is insisted up
on. The necessity Of taking food in
social fashion is an inherent racial sort
Of thing, and those who go against II
for years usually have to pay for II
with some of the ills of indigestion
Breakfasting alone is not bad for q
busy generation. but dining alone is
not a habit to be long continued, in civ
ilization or out Of it. without disastrous
results.

AS regards facilities for bathing,
which every Filipino demands, there is
the open bay, with its miles Of clean
salt water, ready at any time Of the
day or year for a free bath. The genu-
inc Filipino is half amphibious, loving
the water and swimming like a fish.
An example of this may be seen in the
large tobacco factories of Binondo,
with their 10000 employees. When the
days labor is done, the thinly dressed
speed laughingly to the bay, plunge in
to the waiting waves and come out
clean, cool and refreshed. - Ledger

BAIT FOR SUNFISH.
One Mans Method of Going Fishing
With His Boots.

One Mans Method of Going Fishing
y With His Boots.
There is about as much sport in
catching the big sunfish as in lifting
out the crappie If you can get the
Peiker is a great CRATER on sunfish.
He has got dozen different kinds Of
bait, but he says that it is all nonsense
to trouble about digging worms. He
declares that beef run through ham,
burg steak grinder is just the proper
| caper for the sunfish at Creve C9ur
lake. The tougher the beef the better,
as it will cut in long strips like angle
worms.
"When the sunfish are biting right
| smart, 1t Is about all that can do to be
kept in the shop" said Peiker. II be-
lieve me and the sunfish are the most
cheering things out. Do you know,
have noticed old time fishermen at
Breese's lake wading around in the
shallow water, where the sunflsh are
found at spawning time, as carefully
as If they were fishing for trout. Now,
| 1t is different with me when I go out
with my hamburg steak to feed the
golden bellied beauties on. I just tie
the line to each leg of my boots, take a
little short rod in my hand and stride
into the water and go ahead. On the
bootleg lines use red flies. Why, the
sunfish come up and get stuck on my
| fly hooks three or four at time. That's
the way to catch a mess Of fish In a
| few hours.
II can catch crappie with crawfish
tails to beat the band If cannot get
minnows. Crickets are great sunfish
and bass bait, while the katydids will
make a crappie leave it's bed at mid
night. Just let your hook sing once
with green katy on, and If there
lis a crappie within a radius of
l1p or Is feet it will come like
Ia hound at a coursing match. If
I you get no bite, you can pull your
freight up few car lengths and try a
fneW place. caught all those big crap
! rrl d craw tails. Izcould
get no mfnnows for love or money, SO
I chased up some crawfish and went
in to win. When it comes to catfish
bait, just try tripe. 1t is tough and
cannot be pulled off the hook easily."-

YOUR WATCH.

In laying aside watch be sure that
it rests upon it's case.
A watch should be wound up every
day at the same hour.
Avoid putting it on a marble slab or
near anything excessively cold.
If suspended, the action Of the bal
ance may cause oscillation, which will
interfere with its going.
A sudden change of temperature, con-
tracing the metal, may sometimes
cause the handspring to break.
The cold also coagulates the oil, and
the pivots and wheels work less freely
and affect the regularity of the time
excepting. Aaas.a.s2.
To keep your watch clean take care
that the case fits closely and see that
the watch pocket is kept free from
fluff, which is so often given off by
Innings.
Avoid sudden Jars and falls, for even
If it does not seem to affect it at the
moment, a watch will resent rough
handling by becoming gradually "out
of order" without apparent cause.

Letter to Ill. 8. Abel.
STAFFORD Springs, Con

Stafford Springs, Conn.
Dear Sir: The usual pBint, lead and
oil, Is made more durable by the addition
of zinc; as the more Intelligent painters
know.
Lead and oil, they say, lasts three
years. Add zinc, and it lasts three years
with margin, they say; but painters
generally advise to paint once in three
years.
Devoe lead and zinc is nothing but lead
zinc color dryer and oil; but it lasts
about twice as long as painters reckon.
Mr.. Knox, an undertaken for fifty years
at Brewster, N. Y, painted Devoe nine
years ago. The paint Is said to be In
about as good condition as when 1t was
first put on.
Lead and oil don't last nine years.
Yours truly,

THE MAN BEHIND THE PEN.
And the Comment of the Man Who
Received His Letter.

And the Comment of the Man Who
Received His Letter.
knew 1t was a mean letter when
wrote it, but afterward l concluded
that must have written a good deal
meaner than l knew. I was counsel
for large manufacturing company.
One Of their customers, always an un-
satisfactory man to deal with on ac-
count Of his constant fault finding and
objections to paying his bills on vari-
GUS absurd pretexts, finally refused
point blank to settle a bill for some
$1,000 on the ground that the goods
were not just as ordered. The COM
pany then instructed me to write him
the worst letter that I could indite,
threatening him with all possible pains
and penalties, legal and otherwise, with
good measure of abuse thrown in, since
they had little hope that he would pay
and less desire for his custom in the
future. Accordingly 1 bent myself to
the task. 1 hope I'm an honest man,
but can't help saying that that letter
was a stinger. suspect that it was
the meanest thing that ever went into
mail bag.
A few days later a messenger from
the manufacturing firm called and ask
ed me to step over to their place of
business, as there was a man there who
wished to meet me. l am about feet
inches, and my weight averages 40
pounds.
When l reached the firms place,
was ushered into the private Office.
The first thing I saw, and about the
only thing visible, was big man who
must have weighed fully 800 pounds.
"Mr. Blank" said the president, ''this
is Mr.. Dash, who wrote you that let
ter"
Mr.. Blank arose, shutting off the
light from two windows. For full
minute he stood looking down at me
with open mouth and bulging eyes.
Then he turned to the others and with
an expression Of mingled astonishment
| and disgust on his face said:
"Well, smitten Caesar! If had known
it was such a little, insignificant, saw
ed off cricket who wrote me that letter,
l never would have paid that bill"'-

A Pot wallouer.

The parliamentary register for 1895
showed that there was then only one
pot walloper In all England. One see-
Ing the term for the first time might
easily imagine that pot walloper was
species Of ichthyosaurus or some 9TH
er reptile of past age. It will be dis
covered upon inquiry, however, that
the term 'pot walloper" is literally one
who boils pot and was applied to vot-
ers In certain boroughs Of England
where, before the passage Of the re-
form bill of 1882, the qualifications for
suffrage was to have boiled (walloped)
his own pot in the parish for six
months.

CHECKERS ON THE FARM.

The checkerboard is all worn out
From use each winter night;
The checkers have become begrimed,
Which once were shining bright,
But still the game goes straightway on,
Although the squares are blurs,
While Cynthy pens up Reuben's men
Or Reuben captures hers.
sometimes the old man takes hand
To show his practiced skill,
And then the farmhands circle round,
While every one is still.
They would not say single word
That would distract his play;
30 breathless they observe him drive
Young Reuben's men to bay.
All, what would winter evenings be
Without the checkerboard,
With double corners, jumps and moves
And fun which they affordi
Our dissipation oft consists
In too much checkers here,
Which makes the gossips tell about
Our checkered life's career.

Total, IL Total,
Next Saturday the team plays at Nor
wich. A one-club contest, with differ
ent club for each hole, between two teams
chosen by F. g. Sanford and r. H. Fisk,
is announced for Saturday afternoon for
all who wish to play.
A peculiar attempt was made to burn
the house of Oliver Cote on Westford
avenue early last Saturday morning. A
little after 2 o'clock team drove up to
the house and turned around. Several of
the neighbors who were awake heard the
team. Soon after bright light appear
ed, and the house was found to be on fire.
The Cote family were aroused by the
racket, and were much surprised to find
the condition that existed. The flames
| boards, and the line of fire extended to
the roof. In a short time at the rate it
was burning the building would have
been doomed. The fire was started in a
corner between the ell and the main
building. 1t Is evident that quantity
of sacking was saturated with oil and
placed in tin pail that happened to be
| standing outside. A double hook found
on the house showed that some inflamma-
BILE article, probably strip of the sack
ing, was used to form a connecting link
between the pail and the building. Every
thing was carefully planned. Before the
contents of the pail was ignited blind
was closed so that the light would not
shine into the room. The motive for the
act Is a subject of speculation, and the
Cote family are as much at sea as the
rest of the neighborhood. 1t seems too
carefully planned and executed to be the
work of late party of intoxicated indi-
viduals. The horse being turned around
at this point indicates that the houee was
carefully selected. The tracks made by
the men, seen the next morning, showed
that they wore the rubber soled variety of
shoes known as sneakers. AS far as they
can remember, the Cote family has no
enemies who would desire to do them In
jury. The damage done was not much
owing to the promptness with which the
fire was discovered and exterminated by
the neighbors, but the mystery that
shrouds the case seems impenetrable.
