Sad Amusements of the Rriton.

A certain invalid gentleman in the
neighborhood of Liverpool has hit on
device whereby he can amuse himself
without assistance, and can also obtain q
certain amount of Intellectual exercise
He reads Henry James latest novels
and keeps bridge marker meantime. IL
Mr.. James has a sentence which he I'M
derstands he gives a mark to himself; if.
on the contrary, he meets a sentence
which beats him, he gives a mark to Hen
ry James So far the game has been go
ing on couple of weeks, and Henry
James is far ahead of his admirer, but
of course, the tables may be turned when
the contest is concluded. The process is
tedious enough, since, in justice, every
sentence has to be analysed; but the in
valid declares that it is capital exer-
else and he is RECOGNIZES. ling it to his

ON THE PARIS 'cHANoE.
Three Million Francs Is the Cost Of
Place Among the Seventy
on the Bourse.

1t may be said that a seat among
the seventy (they call 1t a charge)
costs about 100000 francs (S600, 0O0)
or sometimes 100000, and a charge
earns from 5 to 10 per cent (net) a
year. so that the annual profits are
from 100000 to $4,000, or more in ex-
ceptional years, writes Cleveland Mof-
felt in THE Paris Bourse" in Cen
fury. But these are usually divided
among several associates, for It rare
ly happens that an agent is the sole
owner of his seat More often he has
paid for only half OF it. or a third Of
IL, and has three or four silent part
ners who own the rest and who may
again have subpartners, so that you
will hear OF person owning an eighth
or a sixteenth of seat. or even thr-
ty-second these being simple invest
ments that carry no rights or privi-
leges on the bourse.
AS TO procuring charge, the thing
has none OF the stock exchange sim
plicity, where the main requirement
for getting seat is TO be able to pay
for it, Here candidate must be a
Frenchman and at least % years old.
He must have served four years in GER
tain forms Of business. He must be
personally acceptable TO the agent
from whom he would purchase the
seat. and often TO his family, includ-
ing the ladies' He must be passed
upon by the seventy with formal vot-
ing. as II he were Joining some select
club, which ne is. There must be ~
stain on his business record, and no
slur on his personal character. A
candidate was rejected recently for bad
habits. and another for no fault OF his
own, but because his brother had been
concerned in questionable transactions.
With all this favorably settled, there
is still needed the approval Of the min
lister Of finances and the sanction of
the president. This makes 1t clear
enough why many of the ablest dealers
on the bourse have not been members
of the parquet but OF the coulisse.
They could not get into the parquet.

TELECRAMS WITHOUT WIRES.
Machine That Transmits and Receives
In Writing Messages from
q Distance.

The paragraph is the name bestowed
upon new mechanical and electrical de-
vice by means OF which messages by
wireless telegraph may be sent or re-
ceived and typewriter copies taken au-
tomatically. 1t is not a yankee notion,
but the invention OF an Englishman,
says a scientific exchange. In appear
anceit resembles an ordinary typewriter,
but it is of simpler construction, with a
keyboard figured with the signs OF the
letters and numerals, which can be
printed or telegraphed to any number OF
instruments. Each instrument, the in
yentor explains, is at once a receiver and.
a transmitter, enabling operators to con-
verse with one another In writing, and
thus obviating misunderstanding
which are apt to occur in telephone com
munications So far messages have been
sent only for short distance, but 1t Is
intended to experiment over wider
spaces, and 1t is hoped that messages
can be sent TO any distance that either
waves will carry. The machine is always
ready for immediate use, and as there is
no mechanism which requires to be
wound up In order to obtain synchron-
ism. the operator has both hands free
for manipulation.
Another advantage claimed for the
invention will be OF especial Importance
in military affairs Messages cannot be
picked up To quote the inventors own
words; I'm sending message you are
sending two ether waves which allow
you a choice of Sc signs, and these are
given direct print either as letters or
figures. Absolute secrecy is thus OBJ
tanned. The only way to intercept mes
sages would be to employ a similar in
strument which would have to be syn
chronized to The same degree as the
transmitting instrument. Lastly, these
machines will receive their messages
(which are given at present at a speed OF
25 words a minute) without anybody be-
ing present, and would thus be of great
advantage in signal box, as the signal
man will receive clearly printed instruc-
tions should he be absent at the time the
message is sent to him. Nor will the ma
chine work only without wires. gave
lecture in Paris before the Society Of
Civil Engineers of which am member,
during which l sent messages to Brus-
sells while telephone communication

have sent messages also between Ber-
lin and Frankfort"
The apparatus consists OF typewriter
which by depressing a key sends two inn
pulses. Each letter only requires two
impulses, and the different letters are OBJ
tanned by means of the time interval be-
tween these impulses For wireless pur-
poses these impulses operate a switch
connection with The induction coil, thus
making the sparks for sending the ether
waves. The induction coil is connected
with an aerial as we'll as an earth wire.
To turn the apparatus into a receiving
instrument 1t is only necessary to move
a switch which is placed beneath the
typewriter. This makes all the con-
nections to the receiving apparatus
which consists Of a coherer and very
sensitive relay.

Cutting Down Long Credit.

Several phases Of social revolution are
noticeable in England. The latest is the
tradesmen Of the wealthy middle class
against the arrogant demands of the no
bility for extended credit. In years gone
by earls and marquises have treated the
shopkeepers of London much as the
barons Of the middle ages did the Jew
money lenders. They have given orders
for goods of all kinds, extending over
years, and resented even the presenta-
ton of bill. The only result of such
a system was that the people who paid
promptly gave much more for their mer-
chandise than the longtime creditors.
The recent Introduction of American
methods by several Oxford and Bond
street dealers has shown, by contrast
in prices, the evils of the arbitrary credit
methods. The result is that an anti
credit league is forming and the count
esses and duchesses who have been ac-
eustomed to order what they pleased and
pay when they got ready are getting the
cold shoulder in the largest shops Of the
British metropolis Pittsburg Dis

STRANGE FATALITY.
GOVERNS CRIMINALS IN THEIR
VIOLATIONS OF LAW.
If Successful in One Kind of "Job"
the Malefactor Usually Sticks
to That One Line of
Business"


Criminals seem to be the strongest
kind of fatalists," remarked Judge Neff,
the other day. Judge Neff is widely
known as an authority on criminology,
and his long experience as prosecutor.
judge and lawyer has given him I'M
usual opportunity of studying scion
tifcally the causes and characteristics
of crime, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer
II have noticed that when a GRIM
inal is arrested after finishing one
sentence, the second charge is gener-
ally the result of a crime almost ex-
actly the same as the one which first
got him into trouble. II seems like a
strange kind Of fatality. I've known

arrested and punished FIVE or six
times on charges exactly the same

but | know Il to be the case 1t has
occurred to me, and possibly this is
the simplest explanation. that the
reason for a criminal adhering strictly
to one line Of work, despite his in
different success in it. is the same ss
the fascination which holds a gambler
to a table, although the luck is
against him. Each failure. or each
loss shows a victim point that he
has hitherto been ignorant of, and II
is easy to convince himself that, next
time, he Will escape that mistake.
"And SO it goes Ever the next
time. Just one more chance and then

"A man becomes a criminal in the
eyes of the law when he has commit

NARROW CHESTS ARE BAD.
Weak Constitutions and Lack of Pure
Air and Exercise Conduce to
Consumption.

While tuberculosis is spread through
infection, it must be remembered that
its predisposing cause is in the body
itself. If one could get rid OF narrow
chests and bring up children in healthy
surroundings we should resist the
sources of infection more successfully,
whatever they are says the London Sat
urday Review We are all in danger
from bacilli, but we do not all get con-
sumption, because many of us have con-
situations with a sufficient power of re-
sistance Good houses. good air, good
exercise must be brought to the help
of weak constitutions, and they are also
necessary il we are to have strong con-
situations and the weak are to be elm
iSated. BY so much hygiene as we have
already practiced and before any special
precautions began to be taken about con-
sumption. the mortality from ii has de-
creased since 1904 by So per cent II
is probably decreasing steadily, though
it accounts for a tenth of the annual
mortality if all the forms of tuberculosis
that appear in the registrar generals
report are reckoned. Bronchitis and
pneumonia are more fatal than phthisls,
In the army the death rate from tubercu-
losis has been reduced from 10 to 1.2 per
900 per annum since the Cremean war.
1t is a well-known story how commits
sion reported that consumption was
much more prevalent in the line regi-
ments where each man in barracks had
only $50 cubic feet Of space than in the
guards, where each man had 500, and
how the death rate began to fall when
the barracks became fit to live in.
