A New Telegraph.

The invention of new methods for
sending a number of messages stimuli
taneously over the same wire contin-
ues, and one Of the most recent OF
these is due to Professor Mercadier
of the French high school for Post
and Telegraph. In this method an al
ternating current is employed whose
frequency depends upon tuning fork
having a certain definite number of vi
brations. The current of such an in
terrupted circuit can be broken by an
ordinary key and signals transmitted
over the line wire by an induction
transmitter. On the line at the dis
tant station are a number of so-called
monotelephones which respond to cur
rent of one frequency, and are tuned
to the forks in the circuits at the
sending station.
Thus each particular circuit has its
own telephone, which is connected by
tubes with the ears of the receiving
operator, and responds to the signals
made at the sending station. In all,
IL transmission circuits are provided,
so that "a messages may be sent over
the line simultaneously. A double
line, or metallic circuit. is required,
but otherwise the apparatus is COM
paratively simple, and involves merely
the adjustment of the tuning-forks
and suitable condensers and Undue
lance coils. 1t has been tested on the
line between Paris and Dion, and also
between Toulouse and Bordeaux, and
has worked with marked success

Field for Explorers.

There is a popular notion that
every bit of the earth's surface has
been explored except it's poles" said
DR.. Cranch B. Young of Boston, at the
New Willard. Nothing could be fur
Their from the truth. Why, a. cur very
doors there are lands as much a mys-
terry as was the interior of Patagonia
half century ago. The waters of
the Gulf of ST. Lawrence, the gateway
to the ocean for large part of the
continent of North America, wash the
southern shores of Labrador, about
the interior of which almost absolute
ly nothing is known.
"The fishermen of the Northern
Banks know every inlet and headland
of it's bleak sea coast. but fishermen
are not explorers, and they do not
penetrate to it's interior. | have
heard of white men who went Is or
20 miles from the coast in search of
game, and nearly every one of them
told the same story; a story of op-
pressive wastes and barrenness that
inspired a nameless dread and terror
| don't believe there has ever been q
scientific exploration into the interior
Of Labrador. Who knows what treas
ures are hidden away in those bleak
and rocky mountains? Isn't the pros
pect one to stir the blood of youth? If
| were young man | should like TO
undertake such venture. There is
danger and hardship enough to tempt
the most strenuous, and the glamour
of a new land ought to furnish suffi-
cheney Of incentive. Why should not
gold fields be found in Labrador?
They would be easier to reach than
California was in the early days or
the Klondye is today."-Washing-

Royalty in Inches.

King Edward represents fully the
average height in British stature,
which is five feet seven and seven
eighths inches. his actual height in
his boots being five feet eight and a
half inches. The Emperor William
falls slightly below his royal uncle's,
but not below the average German
height. OF the elected rulers Presi-
dent Loubet represents the French
average, which is five feet six inches.
On the other hand. we find the EN-
peror of japan to be far above the
national standard of height. His Ma
jesty is a tall man for a japanese
five feet six inches. The tallest royal
parsonage is King Leopold, six feet
six inches. which places him next to
Peter the Great, who measured six
feet eight and half inches.-Philadel.

JAPANESE RAILROAD TRAINS.
The unkempt State Surprising in shs
Land of Cleanliness.

The railway traveller in Japan buys
a first, second or third class ticket /;
or if he wishes to go cheaper still, he
can get ticket emitting him sim
ply to stand on the platform Many
of the cars can be entered either from
the side or the end. The principal
difference between the first and sec
upholstery. None of the cars are very
clean. Many of the third class coach
es could serve, without much altera-
ton, as ordinary pigsties. This is all
the more remarkable when the incom-
parable cleanliness of the Japanese
home life, even of the humblest, is
taken into consideration.
An explanation of this may be that
the Japanese have little regard for
the cleanliness of any place where
they keep their shoes, or clogs, on.
The European room, for example,
which has been established in few
Japanese homes, is the only apartment
in the whole house that is not kept
scrupulously swept, busted, oiled and
FURNISHED. So, too, with the Japanese
inns. Those that are maintained in
native style are swept and clean;
those that have become European are
usually Uttered with cigarette stumps,
fruit Feelings and cores and other
debris.
An American Pullman. with it's

is decent and polite hermitage COM
pared with packed coach in Japan.
All sorts of unexpected things hap
pen. Daring additions are performed
and complete change of raiment is
frequently effected, the constantly re-
curing tunnels serving to screen the
astonishing character of these pro-
grams.
The floor of third class coaches is
an unswept riot of the floatsam and
jetsam that usually follow in the wake
of certain kinds of human craft the
world over. A Bowery picnic crowd,
abandoned to peanuts and bananas,
never marked more conspicuous trail
than a lot of Japanese peasants en-
route. Only, with the Japanese, it is
all very solemn affair. Travel seems
to afford fitting opportunity to discard
all kinds of personal wreckage. All
forms of abandoned odds and ends of
things begin to identify the itinerary
from the very start. Of course, the
foreign traveller who wades through
this car-strewn waste does so to gain
experience. 1t is not pursuit of hap

care, the employment Of more or bet

the cause may be, it appears from
statistics recently published by the
British home Office that the death-rate
from accidents in coal mines and quar-
ries is greater in the United States
and smaller in France than anywhere
else. The rate per 1000 persons is
1926 in the United States and only

the disease is not, as has sometimes

affects aanimals as well as human be-
ings, and fishes are not immune to it.
But it is not infectious and not trans

The old art of taxidermy has been
superseded in the American museum
of natural history by the new method
CT modelling the bodies of animals in
clay and fitting the skin over the mod
ell. This method is regarded as revolu-
tionary in its effects on the exhibition
of animal life in museums. The clay
models are made as carefully in all
their details as are the products of a
sculptor's studio, and the artist, de-
parting from the conventional ways of
the taxidermist, is able to impart to
the reconstructed animal such forms
and attitudes as best represents its
natural characteristics.
