magazines on all of the battleships
belonging to the navios of the world
may be destroyed by an operator In
a wireless telegraph station miles
away from the ships.
Folk, who is quite young man,
is an adept student Of the wireless
system which Marcont started. but
It has only been during he last three
or four months that he has found
the way in which the protected ma

A Quaint Cookbook.

Amid the horrors OF the siege of
Paris in 1871 ono CadoI found time to
issue book of recipes for the prepara-
ton OF the strange fare TO which the
city was reduced. "our stomachs are
turned into natural history museums, :
he wrote. but we must make the best
of circumstances and render our food
as palatable as we can" So house
wives were Instructed how to disguise
the flesh of dogs. horses, asses. rats
and mice and were shown that, despite
the old adage. one can make an omelct
without breaking eggs. The recipe
for IN eSSless omelet was rs follows:
Soak an army biscuit in sugared wa
ter favored with orange flower. chop
finely and spread on hot dish. pow
der well with sugar and then pour over
and set light TO 4 liberal helping OF
rum" With eggs at sc dozen and
rum At but little more than its normal
price. this palatable imitation of an
"omelette au rhum" became a most
popular dish.

Why TaiIors Sit crossIossed.


a tailor making dress coat sat

why do tailors always work in that
uncomfortable positlon:" asked VS.
itor.
-womcn's tailors don't. Only mems
do was the reply. and for mems
tailors 1t IS the most comfortable and
the most convenient position possible.
You see, the sewing on mems clothes
is very finc. The work must be held
up close to the eyes. Well, in this
position I lean the work on my elevat-
ed knees, and thus 1t Is nearer my
eyes. while at the same time my back
remains straight. Analysed. the posi-
tor is a fre one. 1t Keeps the back
straight and the chest out, the knees
make tabie close up to the face. and
eye strain Is avoided.
..Tailors for women sit on chairs.
For one thing. the sewing on women's
clothes is less fine than on mems. For
another. the woman's tailor has to get
up every few minutes to so 10 the
manillin, and all that rising. If he sat
crosslessed on the floor. would tire
him too much in the days run."-Ncw
