The Method Invented by the Grecian
General 1Gneas.
The ancient Greeks and Romans
practiced telegraphy with the help Of
pots filed with straw and twigs satu-
rated in oil, which, being placed in
rows, expressed certain letters accord
ing to the order in which they were
lighted. But the only one Of their con-
trlvances that merits detailed de-
scription was that invented by Gre
clan general named Eneas, who -four
ished in the time Of Aristotle, intended
for communication between the gen.
erals Of an army.
It consisted Of two exactly similar
earthen vessels filed with water, each
provided with a cock that would dis
charge an equal quantity Of water in a
given time, so that the whole or any
part Of the contents would escape in
precisely the same period from both
vessels.
On the surface Of each floated piece
Of cork supporting an upright marked
into divisions, each division having a
certain sentence inscribed upon it..
One of the vessels was placed at each
station, and when either party desired
to communicate he lighted a torch,
which he held aloft until the others did
the same. as sign that he was all at
tention.
On the sender Of the message lower
ing or extinguishing his torch each
party Immediately opened the cork Of
his vessel and so left it until the send
er relighted his torch, when it was at
once closed.
The receiver then read the sentence
on the division Of the upright that was
level with the mouth of the vessel and
which, if everything had been executed
with exactness, correspondent with that

NUMBERING THE PEOPLE.
DARK Predictions by Foes Of an Eng
limh Census Bill.

AMI Nen0u0
It was in 1853 that a proposal to
count the people was first made.
Thomas Potter, son Of the archbishop
OF Canterbury and member for st.
Germans, introduced in that year bill
"for taking and registering an annual
account Of the total number Of the
people and of the total number of
marriages, births and deaths and also
of the total number Of poor receiving
aims from every parish and extra paro-
chial place in Great Britain" It was
inevitable, Of course, that directly this
proposal was made the precedent Of
King David should be quoted. And
many We're the jeremiads as to the al
tentative evils which would befall the
country. Those submitted to David
were mild in comparison. Mr.. Thorn
ton, member for York city, said:
II Gid not believe that there was any
set of men or, indeed, any Individual
of the human species so presumptuous
and so abandoned as to make the pro-
posal we have just heard. hold
this subject to be totally subversive of
the last remains Of English liberty.
The new bill will direct the i'm
position Of new taxes, and, indeed, the
addition of very few words will make
it the most efectual engine Of rapac-
ity and oppression that was ever used
against all injured people. More
over, an annual register of our people
will acquaint our enemies abroad with
our Weakness"
Matthew Ridley, another opposing
member, added that his constituents
Cooked on the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol-
low the numbering" However, the
bill passed the commons, only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. Not
until 1900 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion it was
brought to a successful ISSUE The

The man grunted sullenly and moved
away to give place to a woman with a
baby in her arms.
She drew back the shawl that COW

''When he was born he was very

Paul glanced at her. She was quite
serious. She was looking at him with
a strange pride on her face. Paul nod

baby was staring at him with wise,
grave eyes, as if it could have told him
thing Or two if it had only been gift

knew that look. It meant starvation.

"It is only some little illness, is it

He did not add that no great illness

directs you, the baby will die-you I'M

away, nothing even to your husband"
The next patient was the man whose
voice had been heard from the safe re-
treat of the background. His dominant
malady was obvious. A shaky hand,
an unsteady eye and a bloated counte-

had other diseases more or less deyel-
