The necessary installations will, it is
stated, be then completed. Should
the experiment prove as successful as
anticipated, people will be able to
speak across the Atlantic between
these two cities without even raising
their voices.
The system of telephony adopted
for these experiments by the French
government is that of De Forest, an
American inventor, which was tried
last summer between the admiralty
offices at Whitehall and certain ships
stationed in the channel. Previously
to this the admiralty. at Portsmouth,
had been in communication with ships
in the channel fitted with De Forests
apparatus. and had been convinced
that in the case of a naval battle in
the channel the commander of yes
sci directing his ship could talk with
the admiralty from the bridge

space in the form of bends or distor-
tions caused in electromagnetic
waves emitted from an intensely

Let us be kind;
The way is long and lonely,
And human hearts are asking for this
blessing only
That we be kind.
We cannot know the grief that men
NAV borrow.
We cannot see the souls storm-swept
by sorrow,
But love can shine upon the way to-
day, tomorrow
Let us be kind.
Let us be kind;
This is wealth that has no measure,
This is of heaven and earth the high
est treasure
Let us be kind.
A tender word, smile of love in
meeting,
A song of hope and victory to those
entreating,
A glimpse of God and brotherhood
while life is fleeting-
Let us be kind.
Let us be kind,
are falling,
And for the loved and lost these hui
man hearts are calling
Let us be kind.
To age and youth let gracious words
be spoken,
Upon the wheels of pain so many
weary lives are broken,
We live in vain who give no tender
token
Let us be kind
Let us be kind
The sunset tints will soon be in the
west,
Too late the flowers are laid then
on the quiet breast
Let us be kind.
And when the angel guides have
sought and found us.
Their hands shall link the broken
ties of earth that bound us,
And heaven and home shall brighten
all around us
Let us be kind.

UNAPPROPRIATED THRTFT

Benjamin Franklin was fortunate in
possessing a very thrifty wife, but on
one occasion her saving ways shocked
instead Of pleased her husband. Mrs.
Franklin had accumulated her small
savings for a long time until she was
able to give her husband a fine china
cup and silver spoon for his special
use at breakfast.
When Benjamin Franklin saw these
unaccustomed luxuries he said reproV
ingly: You see how luxury creeps
into the families in spite Of princi-
PIES And directly the meal was over
he went to his warehouse and wheeled
a barrelful of papers home through
the streets for fear lest the neighbor5
might hear of the china cup and say
he was getting above his business.

RooTLEss TACTUs.

Curious among vegetable grOwths
and one which is seldom seen of men
is the roOtless cactus of the Cali
fornian desert. This plant, round.
compact growth. rolls about the level
floor of the desert for some eight or
nine months of the year, tossed hith-
er and thither By the winds which
blow with fierceness over all of CAL
ifornia's sand pleteaux during those
months.
AT the coming of the rains, or
rather the cloudbursts, which sweep
the desert in it's springtime this cac-
tus takes root wherever it happens to
have been dropped by the last wind
of which it was the plaything and
Immediately begins to put out all
around it small shoots, which in turn
became cacti, exactly like the parent
plant. The roots do not penetrate the
soil deeply, but spread often over a
circles whose radius is not less than

said:
Il say. John, how was it you didn't
bring home one?'

CORAL THAT SHOCKS.

On the coast of the West Indian lis
ands a curious kind of coral is found,
called "millepoca." Thas has most
extraordinary property which makes
the people who know it very shy Of
handling it. The moment you pick
up a piece a sort of electric thrill
runs through you and an agonizing
pain shoots through your jaws. You
feel as if every tooth and every nerve
and muscle connected with them was
burning
The acute pain lasts generally for
about half an hour and slowly passes
off, but the effects do not disappear
entirely for hours. The reason of this
curious shock or poisoning is a mys-
terry.

begin to compare with the town resi-

aires. 1t is, of course, not nearly as
vast as King Alfonso's huge palace at
Madrid. it is smaller than one wing
of the Hradcany at Prague, and
would go easily into the courtyard of
the Winter palace at st. Petersburg,
but as King George has a much
smaller income than that of Alfonso,
the kaiser or the cdar, he really can
not afford to maintain a larger pal
ace, and as he is known to be of very
economical habits. this fact has prob
ably something to do with his decision
not to ask for another residence, even
if many of his subjects would like to
see him living in greater splendor.
