INSTRUMENTATION
Unique Instrun emit Now in Use at
q Colorado Pay Sta
sion.

A public telephone pay station of
unusual interest is at Colorado
Springs. The instrument is connect
ed with the system of the Colorado
Telephone company and is mounted
on a substantial wooden box on a
pole at a convenient height for pass
crsby.
The box is supplied with the usual
telephone directory, and the instru-
ment is equipped with the familiar
slot and cashbox used in nickel
service"
The interesting feature of the in
stallation, says the Electrical Review,
is the small megaph2ne trumpet of
tin. The telephone station primarily
constitutes the local substation of a
news stand about 90 foet away, and
me object of the megaphone is to en-
able the newsman to hear the ring
ing of the telephone bell amid the
noises of the street-a matter of no
small difficulty otherwise when the
box door happens to be cloEed.

The pretty girl whom the drug

approached the clerk with the air
of one about to ask a favor, relates
the Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

asked, appealingly.

accommodating" he replied. What
do you want to eXchange?"
She brought forth a bottle, which
she handed him.

said, and I'd like to return it."
This was a bottle of peroxide of
hydrogen, and the girls hair was still
brown.
Certainly we'll take it back" said
the clerk. What do you want in
stead?"
She thought a minute and looked
around at all the mysterious glass
bottles and jars. Then an inspiration
lit up her pretty face.
You are SO kind" she said. "T1l

.OBSTERS' BAD CHARACTER.
jurly, Suspicious and Ursociable
and Regards Everything
as Foe.

The Scotch fishery board in its
Growing as the characteristics of the
obster, says American Shipping. 1t
5 an essentially surly, suspicious and
insociable fish, and regards anything
nat ONE near it as it's >foe. The
main motive of its activity is defense,
md in defending itself it manifests a
lind and unreasonable vengeance. 1t
)rocures a hole in which to wait for
is prey, and to which to retire aft
n a fight, and it is then unsafe fol
my animal to approach it.
The keennes5 of attack and relent-
less hold when once it has gripped
It's antagonist are due to its want of
sight. The eye of the lobster is 50
sensitive that strong light blinds it.
Although it possesses keen sight
when first Matched, the lobster Is
practically blind later in life. It see.
nothing properly, but simply has the
sensation of light and shadow. Ii
tests a shadow with its %antennae, and
sometimes, when a strong shadow is
cast on it, the lobster will leap at il
on the o%ff-chance that it is a foe.
The lighting tendency makes it diff
ticult to keep Holsters in confinement
When once they have settled down
however, they will live at peace with
one another, but it is only an armed
neutrality, and if one of the fish ever
loses its fighting power it is at once
attacked by the others.
