Chicken Feeding by Telephone

Henry Myers, superintendent of
the Waseca telephone system. keeps
chickens aud feeds them by tele-
phone. He has fixed up box in
the chicken house with a drop door
in the bottom OF it. La this he
places feed. The catch that holds
the door in place is sensitive az
fair and is connected to tho tee-
phone system.
When Il. NJ. arrives Mr. Myers
sticks in plug and presses a but
ton the same way operators do when
they ring up your home or place Of

feed box moves back. the door drops
down, the feed falls 10 the floor and
the chickens are fed St. Louis Re

A Prehistoric Needle Factory.

Not so long ago much interest was
awakened in England by the discov-
cry OF q prehistoric lake village
near Glastonbury. The dwellings,
were placed on mounds OF clay rails
ed about the level OF the water. The
framework of a primitive loom was
found under one mound and the
number Of broken bone needles and
bone splinter discovered in another
mound lcd the. explorers to think
that it may have been the site OF an
ancient needle factory.
Very few human bones have been
discovered. but among the interest
ing fnds is blue grass bead with a
waving dark line running around it.
One Of the mounds contains 300 tons
OF clay, all Of which must have been
dug from the surrounding hills and
carried to the spot in boats.

The Bucket Shop Decision.

The advantage gained by the in
dicted bucket shop operators by reason
of the decision Of Justice Wright holding
the anu-bucket-shop law unconstitutional
will probably be only temporary. 1t may
be that the law passed by Congress for
the eradication of the bucket SHOP evil
in the District of Columbia does violate
the liberty of contract and penalize an
innocent customer. This judicial deter
mination does not finally dispose Of the
bucket shop question, the Court of APP
peals, purt of last resort in criminal
cases in the District. having already held
N the Wade case that a bucket shop is a
eaming device within the meaning of the
.aw. Should Justice Wrights decision be
upheld by the Court of Appeals, new in
dictments will lie against the bucket shop
proprietors under provisions of the law
prohibiting the setti1g up OF a gaming
table.
The overwhelming weight of opinion
regards the bucket shop as a gambling
evil. and it would long ago have been
suppressed but that the line separating
the bucket shop from the brokerage office
- often difficult to trace-some brokerage
Offices 'bucketing ORDERS and some
bucket shops having connection with
II brokerage house which might be used
IN an emergency.

Coronation Americans.

The exodus Of Americans to attend the
British coronation ceremonies promises to
make the festival population Of London
strongly American. There will be more
Americans in London than in some OF our
big American cities. There will be nu-
merous and spectacular representation Of
the American millionaire. To contribute
to the splendor and the glamour OF the
crowning of a king will give them in
describable pleasure. Attendance at the
coronation ceremonies-even the ceremony
of the royal progress through the streets
of London-is perhaps the next best thing
to being received at court and intoxicated
with a regal smile. There is also the
vast number of Americans forever search
ing for a fresh sensation. 1t will be a treat
to them especially to relate that they
attended the coronation of King George
and Queen Mary. It Is a happiness no
one should wish to deny them. The coro-
nation will be the biggest show OF the
summer, and Englishmen display their
usual hard sense in having the formal
inauguration during the gentle season OF
the year instead of on the 4th Of March.

with no assurance of being able to hold

In such circumstances Mr. Clark hears
nothing but compliments and good news.
Those who gather around him wish to be
agreeable. Democrats cheer him with
their rosiest views. Independents appear
to be coming over to him. Republicans
appear woe-begone for politeness sake.
Mr.. Bryan has three times had bit
ter taste of this. Wherever he went on
his campaign for the presidency he found
democratic news of the cheeriest. Demo-
cratic hopes were heaped up as high as
the moon. His election. he was assured,
was not in doubt. The only uncertain
thing was the size of the majority.
AS this was the sort of news Mr.
Bryan wanted to hear, it impressed him
deeply when it came to his ears. 1t sank

preme confidence. Then came the rude
awakening the night of election day, for
so decisively had he been beaten OH each
occasion he knew the result before bed
time.
Mr.. Clark is no novice In politics, but
even a veteran is liable to err under the
strain Of hearty Fluctuations long con-
tinued. His present frame of mind will
continue if his admirers and those seeking
favors at his hands can so order it. They
are going to charge themselves with only
the best reports for him. They will make

Loss of Records by Fire,

that cannot be replaced. Records of the

that no complete history Of the state has

from the library to fireproof vault in

correcting this condition was urged by

American Historical Association at its
conference In 1909. It Is reported on
authority Of the New York state his
torian that the place in which the state
archives were kept was comparable with
a finder box. and the result proves the
justice of the comparison.
The loss of the valuable New York
papers is deplorable. but it will not be

Precautionary measures against fire are

result of the New York waist factory

are demanding thorough examination of
fire escapes Of factories and tenements
and revision or enforcement Of the fire
safeguard laws.
Fire traps are being pointed out by
the thousand. The New York fire as a
lesson is having its effect, and escapes,
exits, life-saving appliances and fire.
fighting apparatus are being overhauled.

ways this, and some permanent good
follows. Though the IrOQuois Theater
fire is only a memory, theaters, on the
whole, are probably safer than before

insistent that nearly every new school,
