The submarine signaling is a close
rival to the wireless telegraph in the
great increase that it has made in the
safety of travel on the sea. One re-
ceiver is placed on each side Of the
ship, with separate wires from each.
and by the use Of telephones the off,
Ger is able to hear bell that is being
struck at point many miles distant
from the ship and determine it's direc-
ton. The officer of the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse states that on the last
trip over, when the ship was four
miles distant from the River Weser.
he plainly made out the signals con-
veyed from the lightship there. Fur
thermOre, as the vessel neared Nam
tucket, and when she was about four
miles distant from the hghtship. he
heard through the telephone the signal
So" This consists of six strokes Of
the bell, a pause and then six moro
strokes Of the bell, which is the Nam
tucket lightship code signal. At about
the same distance from Sandy Hook
lightship the respective signals were
distinctly audible. The value of this
device in preventing collisions be-
tween approaching ships is evident,
for it has this advantage over the fog
horn, that the direction of the ap-
preaching vessel, whether from port or
starboard, is determined at once by the
fact that the sounds are audible to the
port or starbOard telephone.

Sam Story, who worked at the B. R.
Lewis company camp, No. 2, on Occur
d'Alene lake, met death by a falling
tree striking him on the head. No
one knows whether he has a family

ger there.
1t has been decided by the supreme
court in the case of J. J. Raaf of
HALEY that there is no appeal from
the decision of the state board of
medical examiners in refusing to
grant a license for the practice of
medicine. The person aggrieved may
proceed by writ of certiorari in the
district court to determine whether
the board has exceeded it's powers.

All, but he was alive now, with the life
of stars and suns and wild meteoric
flames. All the great vitalizing forces of
the unseen were gathered into him. Pro-
metheus, indeed, he was, and no apostle
-Prometheus. with the stolen fire stored
in his own slender body, a reed that had
been shaken by the wind.
His glowing eyes devoured her. She
could feel the tinging touch Of his Won
derful hands, although he did not stir.
Now, | will be strong in this she
heard him say. His voice thrilled her
through and through. Never in all her
life of many passionate wooings had she

He sprang to open the door for her The
gesture was one of alteration. She left
the room on wings.
1t was RELIEF to feel the mouths of the
spirited horses champing the bit at the
other end of the rein. Some tangible,
outward grasp of life that strove and

pulse of the universe, she journeyed like

Everything had been revealed to him. in

He knew the past, its doubts and ques-

Rice and Peas.

To take the place of meat there is
nothing more satisfactory than rice and
peas. Both are boiled separately and
then the two are put together and
cooked with a bit Of pork, butter and
pepper. An entire dinner may be made
of curried chicken If 1t is served after
the West and East Indian mode. A
little grated fresh cocoanut, a bit OF
thinly sliced smoked salmon, gherkins
chutney and picked beet root give a
distinct flavor and relish to it and take
the place Of vegetables and salad.

Representatives when Speaker Reed
had all doors locked to prevent the mi
nority from leaving the floor and thus
escape vote, was noted for his indif.
ference to forms and rules. Speaker
Reed, annoyed by members bringing
lighted cigars upon the floor of the
House just before opening time, had
signs conspicuously poted as follows:
mo smoking on the floor Of the
House."
One day just before convening the
House his eagle eye detected Kilgore
nonchalantly putting away at fat ci-
gar. Calling page, he told him to give
his compliments to the gentleman from
Texas and ask him If he had not seen
the signs. After a while the page re-
turned and seated himself without re-
porting to the Speaker and Mr.. Reed
was irritated to see the gentleman from
Texas continue his smoke. With a
frown he summoned the page and ask
ed:
did you tell the gentleman from
