An Ofiicial Delicacy

When the president ate 'possum and sweet potatoes down south, he set a precedent that is to be followed in Punxsutawney. That town in Penn sylvania, of unique name, is to have an Old Home Week, and among other dis tinguished guests, its 5000 citizens will extend cordial welcome to Governor Stuart. Among the homemade gusta- tory products that are to be set before the governor is Arctonys monax. Per haps only scientist would identify at first glance that item upon the menu What that Latin term means, being translated, is groundhog, otherwise woodchuck, otherwise American mar mot, otherwise mountain rat. That sounds more oriental than west of the Susquehanna. But the governor, who is known as good liver, is undismayed
 He will advance upon the feast with unruffled front, and PunXsutawney will continue to annoy the compositor.

OLD DEVICES SURVIVE

The bicycle, the electric car, and the automo- bile have not lessened the trade of the horse shoer. This is another example of mechanical inventions only increasing the uses of good handiwork. Horseshoers are getting higher wages for shorter work day than ever before. Nevertheless, good horseshoers are becoming rare. This is all in accordance with economic theory New devices do not reduce and may ex- tend the market for the old. Thus the utilitar- ian uses of the bicycle increase while its cost and price have fallen. In Europe, the develop ment of the bicycle in this direction is notice ably large, probably because the working people there are more keen on saving their pennies than here, and with their excellent roads and low price of the wheel it offers a practical way of getting over space. Some people even pre- diet that the day of the maximum use of the bicycle is in the future rather than in the past

Discoveries in Colombia

An English explorer, Captain Whif fen, has finished a years iourneying in the southeastern districts of Colombia South America. He has gained vast amount of valuable information on the habits and manners of the Indians and on their religious ideas. The people among whom he travelled are cannibals eating the bodies of the members of hostile tribes, but burying their own dead. Among the discoveries Captain Whiffen made is the secret of the sys tenn of telegraphy employed by the natives. Sound is the medium used Hollow trees are selected, and these being of various thickness, are able to give out high and low notes when struck. The sound travels immense dis tances through the bush-some thirty or forty miles. A code is not employed but from the different musical notes the native is able actually to recognize the words that are intended.

Of Passing Interest
Fresh Water Terrapin Farms

They are going to have terrapin farms in Pennsylvania. They will not be for the raising of the Maryland dia- mond back, but for the fresh water ter rapin, which now brings good price in the market, and is, in fact, often sold for the diamond back. Even the fresh water product has begun to be scarce. The state fish commissioner se- lected lake near Philadelphia, and be- gan to experiment with the propaga ton of green-leg terrapin. But he made the mistake of surrounding the lake with sand, and green legs dislike sand. Consequently, that years work was Il failure. But this summer he found another lake. It seems that red legs are more heady than green legs and more easily procured, and they taste about as much like the expensive dia- mond back as green legs do This year he eliminated the sand and accepted nature 's handiwork as boundary for the lake, which was yellow clay and grass. The experiment is an unquali- fled success. The red legs have laid and he will be able to know whether or not they have matched next year, as the young have such fondness for the depths of the pond that they refuse to come to the surface even for a sun bath.
 He hopes that this experiment viii demonstrate that it is possible to raise red-leg terrapin, and once it is demon strated, any farmer can dig lake and become a producer of a product quoted at $2 dozen.

Americans in Paris

Paris is without a statue of Colum- bus He discovered America, but America discovered Paris. It would need but small contribution from each American visitor to bestow upon Paris this lacking memorial. The American tourist means much to the City of Light. The twenty-five leading hotels of Paris between June l and July 3l lodged 21,343 American visitors. 1t is a low estimate to average the number of American visitors in the remaining hotels at 10000, thus reaching total of 37 ,343 for the sixty days. At mod crate estimate these probably paid aa average of 200 francs head for hotel bills, thus leaving in the hands of the Paris hotel proprietors the handsome sum of II POP 900 francs. The sums ex- pended otherwise for theaters, coutur- ieres, automobiles, cab hiring, etc, probably far exceeds this sum.

ELECTRIC FIRE ALARMS

Electricity is the agent of modern fire alarms. There were in 1907 but two cities in the United States, of more than 100000 population, that did not use electric fire alarm systems Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo. The cities of Belle vile and Galesburg, H.. Ashtabula, Ohio Guthrie Okla, and Austin, Texas, depended on the telephone as means of reporting fires. In general, more than 90 per cent of the cities hay ing at least 10000 inhabitants were found to be provided with electric fire alarm systems. Electric police patrol systems have been in- stalled in thirty-fve out of thirty-eight cities of 100000 inhabitants and over and in thirty three out of forty cities between 50000 and 100000 The fire and police alarm systems comprise TO- SIP miles of single wire, of which one city, Phil adelphia, has 4,2Sl.

Drainage in Philadelphia

Surface drainage continues to be a source of dirt and disease in some of the older parts of Philadelphia, even though the housing in that city repre- sents high average of comfort and health. But there is an outcry for the removal of the remaining nests of un- sanitay conditions. There remain some 1000 cesspeols mclosed. 1t is these plague spots which still have surface drainage, single yard hydrant for a dozen families, and appointments dan gerors 10 health and destructive to all decency These houses endanger all about them. Local legislation is need ed to compel every dwelling to have its own water and sewer connections.

An Electric Aim

A Colorado homesteader has devised what may be termed fiashlight gun. It is revolver provided with brass cylinder underneath. This cylinder con tains small ineandeseent light at tached to battery, and lens so ar. ranged as to project two lines of light which form cross on any object at any distance up to hundred feet. The cross of light is so adjusted with the revolver that the bullet strikes in the middle of the cross. With this device or any kind of gun, the necessity of taking aim is obviated. All that k necessary is to get the cross of light on the object you desire {. shoot and pull the trigger

STUDIED INDIFFERENCE

Having passed the giddy age, we are glad to learn that back in Chicago a class has been formed to teach young girls how to behave to- ward men that is, young girls who have to work to keep ahead of their meal tickets. The qualification is hardly necessary, since we have never heard of similar instructions to any other sort of girls.
 This school gives diplomas in several depart ments, known as: How to treat street ear con- ductor, how to treat an elevator starter, how to act in the presence of a handsome f1oorwalk CT, how to conduct oneself toward man so lacking in understanding as to advertise for a bright girl" and how to cut an employer SO cialIy without losing one's job. The curri- culum has already been survived by twelve girls, but they were graduated so recently that the record of cut employers and crimped floor walkers has not yet been compiled. Undoubted- ly when the casualties are reported they will make grewsome list.
 Apparently the male defendants in this case have no competent come back. Girls have al- ways had the cocktail faculty of raising frost on the outside with little shaking. But if they are really going to get together this way and compare notes and arrive at concerted plan of action, what are the men going to do about 1t? If there is any answer at al it must be this: They must form protective association for the side stepping of social cuts and crmps. They too, must meet and discuss the situation honestly and craftily if they would survive the undertow of feminine acidty.
 For instance, the street car conductor must have some jolly, mirth-provoking rejoinder handy when he leans over the shoulder of a girl Iuit inL bap f,nUa md xt-l,ic hair shines like the dome of the Capitol at sun. set, and she comes back with, "Wipe off your chin' The elevator boy who asks softly if his passenger with petticoats is going to room 657 when he knows she has been making that port for the last fourteen months, will have to have something under his tongue when he is told to get into long trousers before he gets gay wit the airy persifage. The wellfed employer vii
 have to wear a stiff shirt to keep him from sinking into his waist line if the lady at the glove counter is going to stare at the bald spot on the top of his head when he slips the infor nation to her that they have a fresh consign ment of live Holsters over at Ferdy's. And the handsome foorwaker will need something snapper than a wing collar and favicomous vest if his languorous gIances are to beat theil wings on the cool white of an eye.
 The girls class should be encouraged. Sc should the mems. When they are both running smoothly, they ought to get together, hold ; dual meet, and see which can mix the best socia lfrappe. When the snow has collected abou three inches deep, the men will begin to fee that they are not as warm boys as they thought they were, and the girls will discover that thert l is not much to get hot about, after all.
