How to Seal Letters.

It is often very desirable to know
how to seal q letter so that it cannot
be opened without betraying the fact.
Steam or hot water will open envel-
opes closed with mucilage and even 4
wafer. A hot iron or a spirit lamp dis
solves the sealing wax, an impression
in plaster having been taken of the
seal. BY the combined use of wafer
and sealing wax, however, all attempts
to open the letter otherwise than "
force can be frustrated. All that is
necessary is to close the letter first
with small moist wafer and to pierce
the latter with coarse needle (the
same applies to mucilage), whereupon
sealing wax may be used IN the usual
manner. This seal can neither be
opened by dry heat nor by MOISTURE

FROM BRAIN TO BRAIN.
Hint Of the Possibilities of Comnuni.
eating Ideas Without the
Aid Of Sigma

A scientific writer looks forward tt
the time when ideas will be conveyed
from brain to brain without writing
speaking, or other mechanical proc
esses, says Cassel's.
He points out that writing and
speaking are simply methods by which
we signal thoughts one to another, in
what is really a slow and tedious
fashion compared with the speed Of
thought itself. ..:::.:ta
Experiments have shown that by
concentrating the mind upon some OBJ
ject for time man of clear ideas
can, in some cases, impress more or
less definite record of his thought uporl
the brain of another.
Here, then, is hint of the posi-
bilities of the future, when the hui
man brain, being more advanced than
1t now is, communication will be large
ly carried on by telepathy-a sort Of
wireless telegraphy between minds.

TREATIES ALL RATIFIED.
Senate. in Executive Session, Agrees
on Arbitration Treaties With Eight
European Governments.

Washington, February 1.-the Sem
ate in executive session today ratified
the arbitration treaties between the
United States and eight European gov
ernments. It required two sessions to
reach an agreement. At the first ses-
sion consideration was given to a COM
1nunicatiOn from the President to
Senator Cullom, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, in the form
of a protest against any amendment
being adopted; at the second session
the treaties were amended and ratified
with only nine votes against the
amendment made by the Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations. Fifty Sen
ators voted for the amendment.
The situation in the Senate over the
arbitration treaties has been strained
for severa! weeks. The first protests
against the treaties were made by Sen
ators from southern states who sought
an amendment which would preclude
the possibility of the arbitration of
claims against their states by reason
of "epudiated bonds. Later it was suS-
SeSted that an amendment should be
adopted which changed but one word,
that of agreement to treaty III ar
ticle ., making the articles read as fol-
lows:
I'm each Individual case the high con-
tracing parties, before appealing to
the permanent court of arbitration,
shall conclude a special treaty defin-
ing clearly the matter in dispute, the
scope of the powers of the arbitrators,
and the periods to be fixed for the ;or-
InatiOn Of the arbitral tribunal and the
several stages of the procedure
The amendment answered the pur-
nose Of the protests made by southern
Senators ard in addition to that estab-
1ished the principle that any matter
in the nature of treaty with a for
seigp government must be cOnsummated
by the President. with the consent II
the Senate" In this form the COM
rnttee reported the treaties to the Sem
ate. The treaties were considered yes
terday but no action taken beyond ar
irving at an agreement that they would
AGAIN be taken up today. The iirst
session of the Senate today was con-
fined almost entirely to defense by
balf dozen Senators, Of the Senate S
right to amend treaties. The President
was criticised sharply because of his
letter declaring it to be a step back
ward to ratify the treaties in the form
proposed by the Senate committee on
foreign relations.

GREENVII4LE NEWS LETTER.
Farmers Holding COttOn-A New
Paper.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The Messenger.)
Greenville, n. c., February 11.-Cold
weather has hindered the work on the
months or more before the electric
lights and water will be turned on. A
large and substantial plant is being put
in and it will be first class in all re-
spects. The piping for the water. ex-
cept q short connection, has been put
in, the machinery is about in pace
wires ere being put up, the stand pipe
(3C0,0tO gallon capacity will be finish
ed in a few days, and all other work
is progressing finely. The board of
improvements is devising plans by
which sewerage and paving the streets
can be had. These were not contem-
pfated in the first contracts for i'm
provements. They are needed to COM
plete the towns improvements UP to
date.
Farmers are holding cotton well,
though the last few days and the little
rise has brought more to market. The
farmers are determined to fight for bet
ter prices and the acreage will be ma
terially reduced next year. The low
price of tobacco has it's affect, and the
farmer will be compelled to look better
to his own interest this year and bet
ter farming in many respects will be
the result of the present conditions.
The average farmer is learning to lis
ten less to the man (generally another
farmer) who breaches decreasing acre
age, ETC., and than goes home and in
CreaSeS his acreage. Such is not ul-
known right here in Pitt county. Won
der if it is the same in others?
Greenville is to have a new up-to-
date and able paper at an early date.
The Greenville Printing House has
leased the plant of Henry T. King and
will replace the weekly" with per-
haps a tri-weekly. It will appear in
a week or ten days. The Greenviile
House is evil equipped to put out a
very good paper and nothing else is
expected. 1t w'll be ably edited and
keep thoroughly in touch with the
progress of the times. The name has
not teen given out.
Pitt county is now working seven
teen Convicts on it's public roads. They
are doing good work and other counties
not working convicts make a great
mistake.
This weather has been like hat
found by the late Bill Nye, always un
common for the country and farmers
have suffered to that extent that very
little farm work has been done.
The old favorite, the white shad, has
not yet put in appearance in these
ra9ts
