New Bit Brace.

Electricians especially experience
considerable difficulty in boring holes
in corners and other obscure points
through which to pass wires to con
meet with bells or incandescent lamps.
The ordinary bit and brace does not
suffice for this purpose, as II is impcs-
sibls to operate the handle OF the
brace when Il Is close TO the wall. An
exceedingly simple contrivance at
tached to the ordinary brace has been
patented by two Buffalo inventors
and is designed for effectively and
conveniently boring holes In hooks
and corners inaccessible to ordinary
braces At the top of the section of
the brace holding the bit is beyel
gearing meshing at right angles with
shaft extending through the con
Meeting arm. Al the end OF the shaft
is small handle and the operation
will be at once obvious. When II is
necessary to bore a hole in a place
where the ordinary brace cannot be
used the auxiliary handle is brought
into action, which can be fully turned
without coming in contact with the
walls or other distractions. The
mechanism is so arranged that the
bit and brace can be used for ordi.
nary purposes where there is ample
room and the auxiliary only brought
into use in case OF emergency.

Russian Jews Go to Egypt

Alexandria is becoming haven Of
refuge for the prosecuted Jews Of South
ern Russia and, as there is a good weekly
steamer service between Odessa and the
Egyptian port, this influx is attaining
considerable proportions. A committee
has been formed here to help these poor
people, and at fete held on Sunday
last IL 300 was obtained on their behalf.
This immigration of the Russian Jew is
by no means misfortune for the coun-
try, for, owing to the extraordinary
prosperity Of Egypt, the demand for
labor has far exceeded the supply, and
from all accounts these Jewish artisan
refugees are showing themselves to be
intelligent and industrious workmen.

Jews have taken in the development Of
civilization, art, literature, and com

Must Pay Communal Tax

A German superior court has decided
that Jew has to pay his communal tax
unless he has specifically withdrawn
from the congregation. A Jewish con-
gregation sued lawyer for neglecting
to pay his tax. The lawyer declared
that he was not member of the congre
cation, his father having withdrawn
twenty years ago. The court rejected
the lawyers plea, although it was estab
lished that his father had withdrawn
from the congregation, that act had no
force, as far as any other member of the
family was concerned. The son had
made no declaration of withdrawal for
himself, hence he must still be regarded
member Of the congregation. Accord
ing to law dating from 1S47, every
Jew belongs to the congregation Of the
place where he is an inhabitant. The
possibility of secession from Judaism
was first created by law of 1873. A
law of 1876 made it possible for a Jew
to withdraw from the religious COM
mrnity without abandoning Judaism.

Decrease of Jewish
Population at Hesse

The Jewish population of the grand
duchy of Hesse, according to pub
lished report has been on the decrease
since the year 1S49. In 1922 there were
10000 Jews in Hesse. This number rose
to $4,000 in 1849. In 1871, however,
there were only 25,373, and in 1900,
24,4S6. The decline is ascribed to three
causes: emigration, lowering Of the
birth-rate and mixed marriages. No
figures are at hand for the emigration
from Hesse. The Jewish births in the
years 186O7O averaged 800 annually.
This average has been declining since
1880. In the period 19O1-O4, 439 chill
dren were born annually. This is the
more remarkable in view of the fact that
the number of Jewish marriages has re-
mained pretty constantly 16O to ITO an
nually. The inference must be drawn
that the number of children per mar
riages has diminished. This phenome-
non appears in all parts Of Germany.
For instance during the period 1876-SO
the average number of births annually
per thousand inhabitants in Prussia was
324, in Bavaria 1873, in Hesse 81 6. But
in the period 1896-19OO the numbers
were in Prussia 214 in Bavaria 1910,
and in Hesse 1913. It should be OBJ
served that the birth-rate Of the Chris
tians has also somewhat declined.
The Jewish population suffers a con-
stant though slight diminution on ac-
count Of mixed marriages, which are in
creasing in number. The children of
such marriages are usually brought up
in the Ghrstia ra1ipion Rafora tho
year 1876 mixed marriages were very
exceptional. In the period 1860 the
average per year was 7. In 19O1-O4 the
average had risen to 13 annually.
