STILL USE GOOSE QUILL PENS.
For Signing Marriage Contracts and
WiIis-SchooI Masters OCCUPATION.


WiIis-SchooI Masters Occupation.
1t seems queer that, considering the
abundance, excellence and especially
the cheapness of steel pens, anybody
should prefer the old goose quilts, but
there are some people who do.
They are mostly foreieners-Bohe-
mians, Fungarians and Russians-gen-
orally msn well along in years who
have been using quills all their lives
and have an idea that writing can
hardly be done at all except with
goose quill. Throughout Europe, es-
pec:a,ly in eastern Europe, the quill
hss lot Yet been displaced by the
steel pen, and even in England, in pub.
lie places, like the writing rooms OF
hotels, the quill and the steel pen are
seen lying side by side on the writing
tables for people to take their choice.
In official circles in England there was
until recently an idea that document
was not legal unless 1t was written
with the old fashioned quill pen,
though this notion is now dying out.
But among certain classes OF re-
ligionists in Russia the impression
still prevails, and marriage contracts,
wills, deeds and other important pa
pers are always written with goose
quill.
There is an old Russian, formerly a
schoolmaster. living on Wash street,
who makes pens for his countrymen,
and mends them too, for mending q
quill pen is about as important and
essential as the making, as very few
people can write with quill pen more
than an hour or two without getting
it out of order.

SEES DANGER IN
WOMEN'S RIGHTS
British Professor Says Truth of
Assertions Is Proved

WINNIPEG, Man, Aug. 26.-"The
most disquieting feature of the times
is the revolt of women against their
womanhood and their claim to be on
an equality with men in every way"
This statement was one of the salient
features in the address made by Prof.
M. e. Armstrong, Phi. D., LID, f. r. s.,
president of the chemical section of
the British Association for the Advance
ment of Science. which began its ses-
sions here today.
DR.. Armstrong declared his faith in
ing the problems of life and sex. He
found fault with present conditions of
society, which, he said, placed no him
drance in the way of the unfit.
They who presumably are the fit
test he said, are failing to contribute
in proper proportion to the perpetual
ton of their race. The condition of af-
fairs today affords almost striking eX-
emplification of the slowness with
which civilized nations are learning to
appreciate the lessons of science.

Property More Valuable

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-Wide inter-
est was evidenced here in the Wash
ington dispatches to the effect that the
war department was unable to acquire
fertilization sites at San Pedro within
the limit of the congressional appropria-
ton for that purpose. Inquiry devel-
oped the fact that since the govern
ment first decided to fortify the harbor
at San Pedro, property which was avail
able for that purpose has been sub
divided into business lots and conse-
quently become more valuable.
Annexation of San Pedro to Los An
geles having been accomplished, values
have risen also on that account.
Statements are made that the gov
eminent appropriation is not large
enough TO secure the amount of land
wanted. Officials and prominent citi-
yes of this city and San Pedro are
greatly in favor of the proposed fortif-
cations, and action is expected to be
taken looking to solution of the ques-
ton. 1t is not believed that the San
Pedro land owners have placed any ex-
cessive valuation on their property just
because the government wants it, but
efforts will be made at once to reach q
mutual agreement of some kind on the
subject.

BIBLE NOT ORIGINAL,

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The bible is not
original with its supposed compiIers
according to opinions expressed yes
terday by Prof. Gerald B. Smith of the
faculty of the divinity department of
the University of Chicago.
The story of creation and the del
uge appeared long before the bible
was written the speaker declared.
Both these stories were traditional in
the early literature of the Babylonians.
THE theologian Of today is acquaint-
ed. as theologians Of former days were
not, with the reality and vitality of
n-Christian religion, and in the in
vestigation of the Old Testament re-
ligion It has been found that many of
its elements were derived from Israeps
contact with Babylon. There are ele-
ments in every pagan religion which
every Christian is compelled to recog-
nize as truth"

PATENTS DEVICE TO
CHARGE BATTERIES
Santa Clara Professor Perfects
Apparatus to Utilize Low
Voltage Currents
Especial Dispatch to The Call

IOpcCtdt O5p0tCH 10 nc Autt
SAN JOSE, Aug. 2e.-Second only to
Thomas Edisons promised storage bat
terry for electric vehicles, which has
not yet put in an appearance, is the
invention of Prof. John j. Montgomery
of Santa Clara, who has applied for a
patent on a device by means OF which
storage batteries can be charged with
the common low voltage currents used
In residences.
The invention is more particularly
useful for users of automobiles and
power boats driven by electricity, but
is almost necessity for all users of
storage batteries.
Owners of electric automobiles are
at present forced to seek a garage
which possesses a mercury rectifier,
which costs something like 5000 1t is,
moreover, very delicate, and the ex-
pansion of the globe under the influence
of its own heat often breaks the glass,
rendering it useless. Hence, few gar
ages have rectifiers.
Professor Montgomery's apparatus
may be attached to an electric lighting
wire anywhere at night, and in the
morning the car will be ready for use.
The charging current may be turned
on whenever the car is not in use, in
surfing plenty of power for every
emergency.
Professor Montgomery is instructor
of electrical engineering at Santa Clara
college and was experimenting with
wireless telegraph and telephone ap-
paratus in the college laboratories
when he discovered the value of a
portion Of the instrument for recharg-
ing batteries.
