AN ANCIENT TELEGRAPH.
Used by Grecian Generals In the
Time of Aristotle.

Telography as a means of conveying
Information to Il distance by means Of
signals, etc, was used 10y the Grecian
generals In the time of Aristotle. This
early mode of tclegraphing consisted
of two or more carthen vessels, eX-
actly similar in shape and size and fill
ed with water These vessels were
each provided with faucets of exactly
the same caliber so that an equal
amount Of water could he discharged
from each IN a given time.
In these vessels several uprights
were fixed. each with disks attached,
on which were certain letters and sen
tcnccs. When all was in readiness
the party desiring to communicate
with another started Il signal, which
was continued until ii was answered
by another which Signified "go ahead.
When that signal was given both turn
ed the faucets. and the water com

ued to flow until the sender Of the
message rclightcd his torch, when the
outlet to both was instantly stopped.
The receiver then read the message on
the disk which was standing level with
the water. ana if everything had been
executed with cXacncSS it correspond

the the Columbia county auditors for
the years 1902. 1903, 1904 and 1905.
The position Of the board is that the
action Of the former commissioners in

Mifilinville bridge was Illegal, there
being no clause in the contract enter
ed into with Charles II Reimard which
exouerated him from finishing the
bridge before he received payment for

THE FACE ON THE CENT.
1t Is Not That of an Indian. but of a
HreftH Lille Girl

Mrs. Sarah Longacre Keen, who hv-
ed and died IN Philadelphia, came
nearer being the queen Of the Ameri-
can mint than any woman who ever
lived. With the exception Of Queen
Victoria, whose image was engraved
on every coin Of the British and In
dian empires, Mrs. Keen was first In
The number Of her metal photographs,
Her face as a girl Of twelve summers
Is to be seen on every American cent
issued since 1896 from Uncle Sans
coin factory
1t is usually assumed that the face
on the head side Of the copper is that
of an Indian, but a close look will re-
veal Saxon profile. Just borrow q
of an Indian.
Between 1928 and 1910 James Bar
ton Longacre was chief engraver in
the United States mint in Philadelphia.
In 1885 a competition was opened for
sketches and engravings for the new
copper cent that was to be issued and
which has since been in service. There
were over Il thousand designs offered.
The prize was a good one. Longacre
rackcd his brain for some original and
singular design that would strike the
Judges, but for months he failed to
satisfy himself.
One morning a number of Indians,
with their chief, who had been to pay
their respects TO the great white chief
in Washington, came to the city and
were shown through the mint They
were introduced to the white chiefs
picture maker, who was Just then
showing his young daughter Sarah the
great concern. The old chief was at
tracted by the sweet faced maiden and
her interest in his feathers and paint
She chldiShly wondered how she
would look in the feathered headgear
This was told the chief, who solemnly
divcStcd himself of his feathers and
had them placed on the girls head
The effect was so striking that the
father took time to make sketch Of
the picture finishing 1t afterward for
his own amusement.
At the last moment Of the period
given for sending In engravlngs he be-
thought himself of the possibility Of
the combination Of Indian feathers
and Saxon sweetness. He got 1t in,
and much sport was made Of the child
at the time In the city because of the
incident The sketch passed through
the seventh sitting and finally reached
the last round. BY one vote 1t won,
and ever since Sarah Longacre's young
face has served for the humblest of
coins, than which no single coin In the
world has such tremendous circula-

SPIDERS Or l.-YLON.
Their Golden E.en~ ,siu EnsnHrs
Birds aud L.irnrGS

Birds nuG LiEnrCS.
Far up i'm the mountains of Ceylon
there is u spider that spins web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
of which is five feet u diameter, while
the supporting lines or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes zen or
twelve feet The spider seldom bites
or stings, but should any one try to
catch him bite he will and though not
venomous, his jaws are as powerful as
& birds beak.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur.
So strong are the webs that birds the
size Of larks are frequently caught
therein, and even the small but pow
erful scaly lizard falls a victim. A
writer says that he has often sat and
watched the yellow monster measur-
ing, when waiting for his prey, with his
legs stretched out, fully six inches
striding across the middle of the net
and noted the rapid manner IN which
he winds his stout threads round the
unfortunate captive.
He usually throws the coils about the
head until the wretched victim is first
blinded and then chOlled. In many un-
frequented dark hooks of the jungle
you come across skeletons Of small
birds caught in these terrible snares.
