Three Berliners, respectable men of
business, were promenading their
Broadway, "Unter den Linden" and
talking rather excitedly, when one OF
them, raising his voice, said, "That
fool, the Kaiserr' Instantly he was
touched on the shoulder by the omnl.
present policeman, who told him that
he was under arrest
Arrested! What forr asked the
citizen.
'For lese majestic. Did you not, Just
now, say, That fool the KaiserY"
The gentleman under arrest and his
friends argued with the conscientious
defender of his Kaiser's name, and
turned the matter of as q Joke, saying:
But there are other kaisers; there Is
the Kaiser of Austria, the Kaiser of
Russia, and the Kaiser Menelik, of
Abyssinia." But 1t was Of no avail,
With a wise and deprecating shake OF
his head, the policeman answered:
Eyes, yes! There are other kaisers,
but you could have meant no other,

and children out of his private purse
All these payments consume large
nronortion of the profits, so that the
Emperors income from MS estaIeS Il"
comparatively small.
Practically speaking, the German
Emperor is thus obliged to i've Oh LIS
royal income of 100000 per annum'
which Is altogether insufficient TOT MS
reouirements. The Kaiser has no per-
sonal extravagances, but lives Sill
nile and strenuous life Of hard WORK
and little luxury. He spends little
money on his table, for the cuisine ol
the German imperial residence Is no
torious for its inferiority.
The Kaiser Is not dandy. and
spends a comparatively small amount
every year on his clothes. The horses
he rides are not Of particularly
good breed, and not unusually expen-
sive. He is not a gambler, and does
not indulge in other designations when
would be excusable in his position.
He Ia, however, extravagant In one
respect, namely, in keeping up the
imperial sagniflcence Of his court on
scale never previously attempted by
King of Prussia. The support OF rel
atives forms a first charge on the
Kaiser's income. He has to provide
an annual allowance for his six sons
and has to maintain separate court
for several more distant relatives
Apart from his expenditure for pur"
poses Of royal display, the Kaiser de-
votes a large sum every year to the
encouragement Of art and OF the
drama. He is continually ordering
monuments to be erected at his own
expense, and buys pictures for presen-
tation to public galleries.
The Kaiser maintains the Royal
Opera House, the Royal Theater in
Berlin, and the Royal Theater AT
W1esbaden at his own expense. All
three theaters are conducted only par
TALLY as prof1t-making concerns.
With all these financial burdens the
Kaiser is unable to make both ends
meet on his income, and has been
obliged to borrow money from some
Of his wealthy subjects.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1905-10-14

The German Emperor, with an an
nual income of about four million dol
lars III a poor man, and has great diff
ficulty in making both ends meet, de-
clares the London Express. He does
not receive a farthing In his capacity
as German Emperor, but fulfls the
duties Of this honorary position free
Of charge to the federation Of German
States. The Kaiser draws his income,
first, as King of Prussia; and, second,
as a private landowner.
His income as King of Prussia
amounts approximately to $4,0OO,OOOr
per annum. The Emperor of Russia
receives an annual allowance Of ap-
prodmately $5,OOO,OOO, and the EN-
peror Of Austria an annual allowance
of more than $4,OO0,0OO. Both these
monarchs receive additional allowances
for certain definite purposes, and both
Of them own vast landed estates far
superior In acreage to the German
Emperor's possessions.
The Sultan of Turkey receives an
uAAuh1 allowance VA p1O9OOO1OOO, dnA
the King Of Italy draws over $3,00O,-
600 per annum; while the incomes OF
several monarchs Of smaller States are
nearly as large as that Of the King
Of Prussia.
The amount Of 100000 granted
annually to the German Emperor In
his capacity as King Of Prussia is not
taken from the national exchequer, bUl
from revenues from State dominions
which were formerly the private prop
erty of the Prussian royal house. The
| Grown lands were handed over to the
/ State, and in return the State pays q

The Kaiser owns eighty-three land,
ed estates, comprising total Of $50,
600 acres. He is the greatest land,
owner in Germany, and his posses
sions far exceed those of the three
landowners whose estates rank next
to his own in acreage. These are the
Prince Of Pless, who owns 125,OO0
acres; the Duke of Ujest, who owns
| 100000; and the Duke Of Ratibor, who
owns $4,000 acres. Some Of the land
Of the Kaiser's estates Is rented to

business on his own account in severa'
parts of the country.

Device by Which Any One Can Send a
Electric Message.

Device by Which Any One Can Send an
Electric Message.
A st. Louis man has invented a
telegraphy novelty for the teaching Of
telegraphy and the transmission Of
messages, says the st. Louis Star.
The entire invention hinges upon an
Ingeniously devised metallic plate, SO
grooved that when an electrically
charged stylus Is drawn across Its face
it repeats every letter of the Morse al
phabet with mechanical accuracy.
This little plate is imbedded In a
composition base, which Is attached to
one side Of folding box. The box
contains the battery. It also contains
key and sounder, with which the stu
dent repeats the telegraphlc letters as
they are made by the transmitter.
The inventor is Martin Armstrong,
an old telegraph operator, who lives
at 6A South Ewing avenue. The stu
dent simply takes the stylus In his
hand and places its point in the groove
and draws it down at uniform speed.
AS 1t passes over the electrical connec-
ton 1t causes the sounder to make dots
and dashes representing the various
letters Of the alphabet. The transmit
ter can also be attached to a type
writer, 30 that any one who can oper-
ate typewriter can send a message.
and at the same time keep d printed
copy Of 1t. No technical knowledge of
telegraphy would be necessary to send
message on this telegraphic type
writer. The keys Of the typewriter are
so constructed that they operate anoth-
er key, which causes a small metallic
point to pass over the surface Of the
transmitter, thus making distinctly
and with mechanical accuracy every
sound Of the letter corresponding with
the key touched by the operator. AS
the key falls back into place the con-
nection 1s broken. An expert telegra-
pher can send message very rapidly
on this machine.
Armstrong has been a telegraph
operator for many years. He claims
that telegraphy can be learned by
using this machine, and that it takes
the place Of teacher. 1t is a simple
device, which can be placed upon a
small table for use.

Recent Investigations of the region
about the head waters of the CONGO

FERROUS small folk who inhabit the for.
ests Of the island. Tiny denizens of
the deep, still woods, sparing of speech
and having either no form of religious
worship, or very crude one, they are
Of very low order Of intelligence.
But they know how to make fire, to
poison their little murderous darts, and
they have a language, although it Is
simple, and contains but few words
Although averaging only about four
feet in height they are nevertheless
not to be despised as foemen. They
are strange, uncanny looking creatures
Of lighter color than the average ne.
gro, and having rich hair which rolls
In tightly -curled spiral locks. This

The pygmy race was known to the
Rncients. Aristotle, Herodotus and
Homer wrote of the dwarfs, and prob.
ably many Of the legends Of gnomes

knowledge Of these small tribes. "A

aeshe which they kill in the woods
with Bowes and Dartes," wrote q sew,

The elation that IL shown by the
women Of America over Judge SLOW
er's pocket decision Is highly credita-
BILE to the sex because it 10 completely

What has been established is a princl-
pie, the 1ndefensibls right of the wife
as an equal partner to help herself to
anything that the pockets Of the hus-
band may contain. The exercise Of
the right lie another matter, and the in
ducements thereto are about as tempt
ing as the inventory in those youthful
compositions on "a Schoolgirls Pock-
ct" and "a Schoolboy's Pocket" If
memory serves the schoolboy's pocket
is likely to hold a top string, rusty
nail, marbles, an apple core, and per-
haps, II the boy lives in the country,

are not cash or convertible securities,
but they average up fairly we'll with
the possessions Of the boys father.

toothpicks, unreceipted bills, unused
street railway transfers, crumpled pa
pers OF divers sorts that should have
been thrown away week before last, q
bunch Of keys, handkerchief, a lean
poeketbook and a little loose change.
The pockets are a dozen mysteries to
the man himself and as bad as a gar
ret for the accumulation of rubbish.
If anything that ts really valuable gets
into them, like railroad ticket, for
example, we have the common gpecta-
Gle Of frenzled search with the hands
