Signaling Under Water.


The cause OF three-fourths of the ship
wrecks and loss of life at sea seems about
to be removed. 1t is not a wire or even the
air, but the water this time that is used
to transmit sound vibrations. For some
weeks there has been installed on the
steamers of the Metropolitan Company of
Boston an apparatus which may yet make
1t possible for the vessel beating about the
coast in a storm to know where the rocks
and shoals are when the fog will not permit
the light to be seen and the noise of the
wind browns the sound of the beH-buoy
or the siren; for battleShip to know of
the approach of a submarine and fishing
smack Of the approach of q liner off the
Banks of Newfoundland.
The apparatus is extremely simple. 1t
amounts to nothing more or less than ring
ing bell under water, which the pilot Or
captain can hear telephonical1y. Screwed
on both sides of the vessels hull are two
receivers, which are connected by wires
with the wheel house; These receive the
vibrations from the bell hanging in the
water on the side of the lightship The
navigator has only to put the ear-piece to
his ear and ascertain on which side the
vibra tons are the louder. In order to know
the direction of the lighthouse and his own
position in the fog with comparative ac-
curacy.
For fishing vessels ball receiver has
been provided. and this is used also to get
more delicate intonations aboard a steel
vessel The value of the apparatus was
put to good test recently. when the
steamer James s. Whitney was approach

New York. The lighthouse was obscured

paratus the captain immediat ely heard the
bell and got his direction. 1t was not until
five minutes after that he heard the light
ships whistle for the first time.

Hobos Great Readers.
From tho Chicago Inter-oeean.


Most tramps are omnivorous readers, and
they are posted upon wide range of top
les In speaking of tramp readers a man
who has had chance to study these peri
patetic students said the other day:
You hardly ever find a genuine hobo
that Is an ignoramus. You find lots of men
who are tramping who are doing SO because
they haven't intelligence enough to earn a
living. but am speaking of the real hobo,

fellows are pretty wise, I can tell YOU
They can tell you more about what is going
on in European politics than college pro-
lessor can, and they know almost every-
thing that Is coming Off in our own coun-
try for the next six months. When YOU
travelling you will notice the hobos
sitting along the railroad track reading a
frayed and soiled newspaper. Often you
will see them picking up the loose pages
lying in the streets, and / do not believe I
ever saw traces of tramps campfire
around which there were not left one or
east aside after reading. Then the tramps
have sort of travelling library, too, that
few people have ever heard of. If one tramp
finds an old magazine he will read 1t and
then pass 1t to some other tramp. 1t keeps
going the rounds In this way until il Is

Insects and Disease.

tablished that the mosquito Is the common
carrier of the microbes OF malaria. In
Hong Kong the plague breaks out each
spring in scattered sections, some of which
have had no cases before. This led to the
investigation which showed that not only
rats. but also heas cockroaches and spiders
carry the germs. and that the bite of these

THE TURK AND HIS WIFE
Only One Woman in Most of the Mos
lem Harems Nowadays.
From the Century.

FROM the Century.
Although OF late years, among Turks
highly placed, it has come to be considered
as far more chic to have only one wife.
yet this laudable increase in the practice
OF monogamy does not tend to a complete
emancipation from certain well-established
Moslem traditions. The mention of ones
wife to foreigner is nowadays made the
easier when one may truthfuly speak of
her in the singular number
A Turk may. after some months Of semi
intimacy. talk somewhat freely, indeed, of
his domestic life, provided always his
household is modelled after the European
plan of life. The social line is drawn at
the point of asking even a lady to CALL FIRE.
quent visiting between European and Turk
fsh wives, when these are in the singular
number, is possible only after a somewhat
prolonged residence and much friendly In
tercourse.
To the casual visitor there is an unex-
pected embarrassment in finding almost all
the Turks one meets in society married to
one lady only. The singularity Of this sin
gleness Is as trying, apparently, to the
Turks, on certain occasions, as 1t is emf
nently disappointing to the European.
Il do so hope the minister of - may
grant me the honor of visiting his harem,'
an American lady remarks with the char m
ing aplomb characteristic Of the American
woman.
"F- Pasha would be too delighted, L
am sure: only, as it happens, his excellency
has no harem in the sense in which, pre-
sumo. most foreigners understand our
word" was the courteous reply Of the
minor official to whom this remark was adj
dressed. He has but one wife, as. indeed,
we mostly all have"
Hasn't any one a harem?" The cry was
almost fearful. 'F- PaSha has a great
many children" continued this dsappoint-
ed investigator of Turkish customs.
Eyes, he has eleven children living His
wife is very fond of children.
Els she Turk.sh?'
mo; she is a Circassian lady Of very
good family"
"Ah-h, circass,an! She must be very
beautiful; the boys are so handsome" the
pretty American remarked in a Modified
tone From romantic travellers point of
view, If Turks persist in marrying as virtu-
ously and duly as every one else, at least
to find them marrying a Circassian slave
was trifie more soiacing than to have
found the single wife Of correct Turkish
descent.
The young aid-de-camp smiled as he
made answer: Yes. you are quite right; we
mostly marry Circassians, and almost all
our children are beautiful"
There are still enough harems throughout
Turkey sufficiently equipped with plural
ity of wives to satisfy the most exacting OF
travellers in search of a sensation. Even in
Constantinople there are rashas and eff
fendis rich enough to keep up the old
standard of Mosism marital pomp The

Two weeks ago my sister, who lives
in Washington, sent me bottle OF
Paw-Paw for him, and, strange to
say. it not only cured his stomach
trouble, but has taken away all de-

Surely this mother has reason to
feel grateful, and it is my opinion.
previously expressed, that the
clergymen in this country could do
no greater service to the cause of
temperance than to advocate the
general use of my Paw-Paw, for by
its use drunkenness would be les
sened and the morals and health OF
the community greatly improved.
A wife whose husband is addicted
to drinking can do nothing better
for herself or family than to get
bottle of this Paw-Paw, and when
ever her husband feels the need of
a tonic give him tablespoonful Of
Paw-Paw. She will find that he will
soon lose all craving for strong
drink. that his appetite will soon
become natural, that his nervous
ness and longing for excitements
will disappear and he will be per-
fectly satisfied without alcoholic
stimulants and harmful beverages.
Almost every human being some
time requires stimulant, NOT AN
ALCOHOLIC STIMULANT, not
stimulant that will buoy up for
moment and then cast down to
lower depths of depression, but a
stimulant that will give an abiding
strength and lasting force.
Ny Paw-Paw aids the stomach to
digest hearty foods and to make
good, rich blood, which again in
turn strengthens the nerves, vitaliz-
ing all the tissues, and soon pro-
duces muscles, tissues and bone.

His Last Hope Realized.

In the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1859, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encoun-
tered much. bad water, which together
with the severe heat. gave him q very
severe diarrhoes which it seemed al
most impossible TO check, and along
in June the case became SO bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
A big dose was given him while he
was rolling about ON the ground in
great agony, and in a few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect
of the medicine was soop noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for fortnight.
That one little bottle worked COM
