Science Notes.

Telegraph and telephone lines OF the
Belgian Kongo region in Africa show
some interesting peculiarities. Where
the lines run through the forests the
wires are placed as much as possible
upon trees and IN other cases upon
iron poles. The wire, which is Of
phosphorbronze. Is painted black so as
not to attract the attention OF the na-
tives. who lay hands upon all the COP
per they can find. A cutting thirty
feet wide is made through the forest for
the line. The first hours aftcr sunset
are the best for telephone. After 10
o'clock in the morning the heat makes
it impossible TO use the telephone.
especially i'm the rainy season.
A safety device for the protection or
persons from the electric current upon
the rupture Of trolley wire has been
invented recently. BY the employ
ment OF this arrangement the current
is cut on and the wire rendered harm
less. The device is fitted to each sec
tion OF the wire and consists OF an
Ordinary connecting ear held i'm its

trolley wire. the current is Immediately

A Norwegian engineer has recently
invented n new apparatus for sea
sounding by which it is not necessary
to touch bottom. This is accomplished
by an acoustic method. The depths are
also registered graphically upon a re-
.volvine drum. The operation OF the de-
vice depends upon the time which
sound takes to travel TO the bottom and
return, and the measurement OF the

Some SERIOUS skirmlshes.

Toxic. Feb. 6.-There were a num-
ber OF serious skirmishes along the
Shakhe and Hun rivers Friday night
and Saturday. The Russians shelled
portions Of the Japanese lines Friday
night, and small bodies Of Russians
attacked Waitao and Tiu mountains
and places in those vicinities. Reports
received from Japanese Manchurian
headquarters say that all the attacks
we're repulsed.
Friday afternoon Russian batteries
stationed at Liuchientun and Wanpao
mountain, north of the Shakhe river,
and at other places shelled the Japa-
nese positions. Saturday morning

two companies Of infantry and one

garrison at Chitaitse was defending
the place when the report Of the at
tack was forwarded.

Diamonds

while a diamond weighing 5000

ports by cable, from 100000 TO

trica, yet 1t is much i'm keeping with
e wonderful weaith-producing history

ew something OF diamonds saw the
Iildren of Boer farmer playing with
stone that caught his attention. He

one afterwand sold in Paris for $500.

8D1 the DeBeers company received

Rare Old Bibles.

Among the effects OF the late Duke Of
Cambridge sold at auction recently was
Vinegar Bible" The edition gets its
name from blundcr which Il contains.
Printed at the Clarendon press in 17l7, IT
has the word Vinegar" instead OF wine
yard" in the headline OF Luke XIII There
is always a market for Bibles which con-
tain slips Of this sort and 1t is not at all
improbable that IN the old days unscru-
pulous printers deliberately mutilated the
text ia setting Il up. University under
graduates broke into the Clarendon office
one night, SO the story runs. and subsu-
tuted tho letter *" for "" in one OF
the type cases. II made the marriage cer-
emony in the prayer book read: wilt
thou have this woman 10 be thy wife
and keep thee unto her as long as ye
both shall likeT The same change was
made in the question put to the bride.

LODI, Feb. G. - The situation here
has reached a critical stage. and it will
be decided today whether the conflict
shall end or the strike be continued.
The employers met on Saturday and
decided to reopen all their facto-
ries today, when men reporting for
work will be re-engaged and the re-
mainder discharged. A large number
OF workmen are disposed to resume,
but fear that the malcontents will en-
ploy coercion.
The strikers are demanding an eight

cept a compromise. The masters de-
clare that il is impossible. in the face
Of existing competition. to either in
crease wages or decrease the hours Of
work unless It is made general

The state Of siege Is still maintained
here, and the streets are being pa

Men puIled the hearse.

Columbia, s. c.. Feb. 6.-The un-
usual spectacle OF men drawing a
hearse containing a cropse was Wit
messed here. This was made neces-
sary by sleet storm which has pre-
vailed for "a hours, making It almost
impossible for horses TO keep their
footing. After several futile attempts
to draw the hearse with horses. 60
negroes. members Of fraternal orders
to which George McFee, the dead man.
had belonged. procured ropes, which
they fastened TO the tongue OF the

Committee Trying to Save Woman
Has 10000 SIGNATURES.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 6.-'T think we
have secured $4,000 signatures to our
petition in the last "a hours" said Carl
G. Muller, Of the committee which is
circulating the Kate Edwards pardon
petition. "All told, we now have 150-
900 signatures. The petition we will
present to Governor Pennypacker will
be half a mile long"
The committee is endeavoring to
classify signatures. School teachers,
lawyers. doctors, etc, will each have
a special petition.
The committee has decided not to
ask Governor Herrick to sign the pc
tition or to write Governor Penny
packer. AS an Official of the state, It
will be felt that such a request would
place him in rather a delicate position.
