10000 WORDS AN HOUR.
Marvellous Telephone Machine the Talk
of Europe.

Joseph /. Britain, u. S. consul at
Prague, Austria, reports that the Flu.
ropean newspapers have been giving
space to the invention of a Hungarian,
by which, it is said 10000 words an
hour may be transmitted over the tele-
phone. The consul furnishes the follow
ing descriptions:
The machine consists of three parts, n
perforator, transmitter, and receiver. The
first may be worked by a typewriter.
while the other two are automatic, work
ing through the agencies of electricity
and photography, aud the instrument
may be connected by an ordinary tele-
phone line
Through operating the keys of the
perforator. the operator writes messages
upon a long paper ribbon. BY touching
the keys a series of holes are punched
in the ribbon each set Of holes repre-
senting a letter.
After taking the ribbon from the per-
foratoF, the inventor places it in n small
cylinder in the transmitter, and a touch
of the switch sets the cylinder revolving
and the ribbon with it. Before the rib
bon has completely passed through the
transmitter, a second broader strip of
sensitized paper issues from the receiver,
and upon it is written in plain. legible
character the actual message which the
inventor or operator has written on the
typewriter. 1t is claimed that messages
may be thus transmitted hundreds Of
miles, as well as short distances.
1t is said the inventor has discoveries
n means of Harvesting light to electricity,
by which a tiny spot of light hundreds Of
miles away is controlled as readily as
when close by"

QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES.
Made of Adobe in Bolivia-Growirg
Trees in Africa Support Wires

The most original telegraph line in the
world once extended from the capital of
Bolivia. La Paz to the town of Oruro.
La this part of Boliyin there are no
growing trees, and wood is 50 difficult to
find that even the ordinary household
Furniture of the native Is invariably
made not Of wood but Of dried mud or
adobe.
so when the war broke ont between
Chile and Bolivia aud telegraph line
became urgent it was adobe that was
chosen Tor the queerest telegraph poles
in existence. These pillars were built on
stone foundations aud measured about
feet square at the base, with height of
about Is feet
There were placed ut intervals Of
about 1861 feet and thus held the wire
a. n height sufficient To clear the only
animals Of the country, the llama and
the donkey. The total length of the line
was 1876 miles.
Among other curious telegraph Ines
is the growing pole line erected In Ugan-
da by an English engineer, who could
Withstand the white ants and hit upon
the idea of transporting growing bark
cloth trees 10 the side Of the roads and
using them as poles This system has
been used for ten years or more.
In the Dutch East Indies growing
trees are turned Ia account also but
there a wire Is stretched across the roud
between the trees on either side. and the
line Is thus over the road aud clear

COMING OF AGE IN AFRICA.
Initiating the Young as Full Pledged
Members of a Tribe.


All the peoples in the world have been
given to marking the coming Of are of
their young folk with some kind of cere-
monial In central Africa this is quite
q serious business. A few Of the customs
in use among certain tribes are horrible :
but in the main they show kind Of
good sense.
Among the Yao people. the principal
figure in all the limitations or coming Of
age mysteries is a man called the rat
tier of the tails. He makes play with
ing creatures which play leading part
in the witch doctors medicines, This
official communicates all kinds Of knOWl-
edge to the young ideas Of the tribe dur
ing the couple Of months devoted TO their
initiation ceremonies. He lectures on
the customs Of the tribe and on morals
He teaches unselfishness, for instance
and among these tribes the man who
refuses to share his food with another
il jeered at as "unintiated.'
During these ceremonies the boys re-
ceIye new names. and If you want to in
suit them past all forgiveness you have
merely to address them by their child
hoods names after they have passed
through the initiation ceremonies.
The unyagO, or period Of initiation
with girls, lasts only one month, and in
cudes all kinds Of practical teaching as

grinding Of corn and the like. Many Of
the ceremonies in Use are purely sym

Hot Water Heating.

Hot water heat is more uniform than
that from either steam or hot air. The
first cost of a hot water heater, however,
is about double that of hot air furnace
but the heater has the advantage of be.
ing almost indestructible; it will last as
long as the house, provided it is given
proper care, while the life Of a hot air
furnace is about fifteen to eighteen
years.
A house heated by radiators which are
in front of the windows never has cold
drafts and the floors are always warm.
The wCter in a hot water heater com
mences 10 circulate almost as soon as
the fire is started and continues for
hours after the fire is out. This is an
advantage, for there are times when
from one cause or another the fire does
go out. At such times the house does
not cool off rapidly, as it does If any
other method of heating is used.
| believe that almost any heater that
you can install will give satisfaction
but it should be one which can be readily
cleaned. Be sure Of that, because SCOT
collecting in the passages through which
the gases must go to the chimney will
prevent the water from absorbing the
heat. The ideal boiler to have is ane in
which the gases going through the ,moke
pipe into the chimney are OF the same
temperature as the water in the low
pipes, but this is seldom obtained be-
cause Of mechanical difficulties. A boiler
50 constructed usually has so much to
1t that the draft is impeded.

NOTES OF INTEREST

The Torrens land title act which was
passed by the California Legislature two
years ago has Just become effective.
Owing to the strict wording Of the law.
1t Is nor likely that the new system will
come into general use for some time. In
fact It will be necessary to amend the
law before il can be of much use. Be
cause of the destruction of real estate
records of San Francisco in the big fire
1t was necessary 10 provide some means
of restoring titles. This was done BY
means of special act of the Legisla-
ture called the McEnerney act. But little
requirements for proof of title under
this law are much less strict than those
of the Torrens act, aud in consequence
McEnerney titles cannot be registered
under the Torrens law. Until change is
made in the latter law. there is no meth
cd by which land holders can furnish
the evidence demanded for the registra-
ton of titles.
