SUCCESSFUL BOY INVENTORS
One Lad of Fifteen Has Refused

One Lad of Fifteen Has Refused
 @IS,OOO for His Invention.
 Wireless telegraph and the conquest of the air have taken a firm hold on the youths of America, the hundreds of lads of tender years but advanced ideas devoting their talents to the in vention of construction of machines in both these lines.
 While these devices are largely for pleasure, young America has proved his ability to turn inventive genius into utilitarian channels. One of the most remarkable inventions made by boy is device for signaling on ele- vated roads, the Boston Herald says It is in use on part of the Brooklyn "'L" system and Is the work of Morris 5 Schaeffer, 15 years old, a public school boy. Morris was offered $1S,000 for his patent, but on the advice of friends refused it. The boy expects to be able to get $50,00O for the idea from the railroad company.
 Of quite different caliber is the ma chine invented by Donald H. Miller, a student at Columbia university. This, by the mere touching of keys, similar to those on a typewriter, translates Chinese into English. It can also be used to translate any other language. The contrivance resembles an adding machine.
 From darkest India comes the rec ord of the achievement of Claude Moore, the son of poor coal miner. Young Moore, who is 20 years old. was reduced to the sum of cents when he received word from the patent office that it had issued patent on corn husker. Thereupon Claude, who Is a thrifty youth, sold his patent to the harvester trust for considerable real money.
 A most ambitious piece of work has just been successfully finished by Fran cis Lee Herreshoff, the young nephew of the famous yacht designer. This is the construction of a high-power racing automobile with which has been developed the tremendous speed of eighty miles an hour.
 Herreshoff has also patented a de vice for subduing the glare of acety- lene lamps. The mechanism does away with the necessity of extinguish- ing the lamps, for it softens the glare, making it hardly more noticeable than an oil lamp.

COLLEGE GIRL AS FARMER.

Wellesley Student Intends to Raise
 "Truck' on Long Island.
 Miss Marjory Snyder, fair student at Wellesley College, has created a sen- sation among her classmates and col lege girl friends by issuing the an- nouncement that as soon as she leaves college she is to turn woman farmer in the real sense of the word and start a business of her own in truck and other kinds of gardening on Long Isl- and, in New York State.
 Further than this, according to the Boston Post, Miss Marjory's announced decision has caused several other Vel lesley girls to become interested in this unique woman's vocation, and 1t is now hinted that they, too. may follow Miss Snyder's footsteps.
 Miss Snyder is a tall, well-formed girl of a decidedly athletic build.
 Quiet and unassuming, she has spent her college days in hard study, win ming renown in the classroom and making hosts of friends among her col leagues.

Head of Firm Say. All Petty Graft
 Isn't in PittsburE.

Isn't i'm PittsburE.
 Petty stealing. cheap graft-it's not all in Pits0urg."
 The head of the firm was angry.
 Send for that collector" he said. The collector came.
 Seems to be tSo much work for you" the managing partner said. Probably you need help"
 The collector believed another man would be a valuable addition to the force. "H'm thought so," the manager said, and then. reading from slip: March 3-Left store S:30: went to home at 93476 East Steenth street re- turned to store at 11:25; 2:15 went to Orpheum. etc"
 He turned on the now amazed col lector Hard work, wasn't it?" he snapped Now, do you desire to work. help pay the expense of the de tective who trailed you and make good. or will you quit now?"
 "I believe I'd like to work it out,' the trembling collector replied.
 Well, get move on you. then" was the parting admonition of the manager. And the collector got it on.
 Cheap graft" the manager re- sumed. Often wonder how some men can stoop to such meanness. Not long ago l observed that a certain young man had long been ordering furnish ings, neckties. and such things by let ter and paying for them in stamps. That seemed queer. I don't care for business that's crooked. so I investi- gated that customer. Found he worked in bank; son of wealthy father just cheap graft He'd been stealing stamps for year
 We allow our outside men to turn car fare Often one man collects it for several to save making many ac counts. When I noticed one of these men charging us more car fare than believed he spent I looked him up. Discovered he'd aded figure to the 80 or 90-cent account every day and 90 got S18O or $2-cheap stealing for a dollar. Cost him his job.
 Nothing so detestable and so an moving in business as this form of dis honesty. There's stealing going on now in this store that I don't know how to touch. The question in the minds of employees is. Should tell the nrm. or is it any of my bnsinessg When we can get employees to under stand that the firms interests are theirs we'll have most of the graft controlled.

The annual report OF the state board

health condition existing in Florida.
During the past year there have been
practically no epidemics of communi-

follows:
Smallpox.
1T is gratifying also to note that
there have been no epidemics OF danger
ously communicable diseases-except
of measles in Tampa-during the past
year, nor has there been more than a
sprinkling of other contagious disor-
ders. For instance, cases of smallpox
have not exceeded twenty-four, which
number when compared with the expe-
rience of the board ten or fifteen years
ago is exceedingly low, and scarcely
worth mentioning in connection with a

A Poets Wit.

"Oliver Herford, the brilliant wit
and poet, was a guest at a country
house last winter when a children's
Valentine Day party was given"
The speaker was a novelist, says the
Philadelphia Record. He resumed:
"Mr. HEREFORD was slightly put out
by the children's noise-he was at
work, believe, on one of his splendid
alphabet books-and that night at
dinner, when asked to propose a toast
for the little ones, he rose and said:
Ito the much illuminated, the
good and wise King Herod.

the fact that smallpox will quite likely

happens within decade of the last
general prevalence. The people. how
ever, have the remedy and prevention
In their own hands for the mere asking
and are alone to blame for conse-
quences when refusing the advice of
the board and the generosity of the
state In this respect.
Scarlet Fever.
"A mild, and in some instances an
almost fnappreciable, prevalence of
scarlet fever occurred quite extensive
ly over the state during the autumn
months, but occasioned no fatalities so
far as the Office has learned, and but
little anxiety to the people.
Measles.
An epidemic of measles has pre-
vailed in Tampa since the early part
of October. when it is supposed the
disease was introduced from Havana.

of the state board of health for Hills
borough county, whose special report

terestingly gives an account of this
prevalence and intelligently discusses
