shown that the common tumbler or
other receptacle used for such pur-
poses is a frequent and dangerous
source of Infection. To employ such
a vessel on train, at street fountain
or elsewhere is to take serious risk.
A drinking cup which had been used
for several months without washing
In high school was lined with a
brownish deposit which when viewed
under the microscope was seen to be
composed largely of particles of mud,
with thousands of bits of dead skin
and millions of bacteria. When a
small quantity Of this sediment was
injected under the skin of healthy
guinea pig the animal died in 4S
hours, the post-mortem examination
showing that death was due to blood
poisoning. A second guinea pig, un-
der similar circumstances, developed
tuberculosis. and inquiry proved that
several of the pupils in the high
school were afflicted with the dread
-malady.
The rim of another drinking cup
used in a school bore no fewer than
100000 germs, while vastly greater
number fingered deeper in the vessel
where saliva had dripped down.
The conclusions drawn from all OBJ
servations are to the effect that the
common drinking vessel is one of the
most fruitful sources of the spread of
infectious diseases. Such mouth-to-
mouth Infection, furthermore, is espe-
cially dangerous because OF the moist
state in which the germ cultures pass
from person to person. Peril fingers

side the drinking place at school, and
which still hangs near the kitchen

of the greatest boons Of the age, but from the
standpoint of our public officials, and particularly
our army and navy officers, their value will be
tremendously enhanced If way can be found to
transmit messages with surety that they will
reach nobody save the individual for whom they
are intended. Under present conditions many
military and naval wireless messages picked
up" by private operators and of course this would
not do at all in time of war 1t is believed, how

to send and receive messages that cannot be

bride of Jay Gould. the youngest son
of George Gould.
The former Queen Of Hawaii, Liliou-
kalan1, whose name is rarely mention
ed now in the newspapers, is living
at Honolulu, where she still keeps a
little court. For years she made Pc
r1odlcal visits to Washington to press
her claims against the government for
the value of the old crown lands
which formerly were invested in her
and which now form the public do
main. But Washington would not be
convinced that she had any rights in
this particular and apparently she has
given up the fight and will probably
never again leave her island home.
The native Hawaiians are still deep
ly attached to their former queen. On
her birthday all Hawaii flocks to the
ex-Queen's home in washington place
: and pays court to her in that pretty
home in the old, old way, with the
al11s, or mobiles, wearing the ahuulas
about their shoulders and the, khilis
standing solemnly in the corner in
token of royal dignity.
Lilioukalani was dethroned in the
revolution Of 1893, when a provisional
government was declared, with San
ford B. Dole at it's president. Annex
alton to the United States was then
sought, but upon the refusal of Presi-
dent Cleveland to sanction it the re-
public of Hawaii was proclaimed an
independent state in 1894. In 1898
during the administration of President
Mckinley Hawaii was annexed to the
United States.

them at this point) the chief magistrate has one
medium for absolutely secret communication This
is an exclusive telephone system that centers at
the executive Offices, and whereas it's radius does
not extend beyond the limits of the national capi-

his place in his specially constructed sound-proof

any member of his cabinet or any high official

third person has had an inkling of what he has
said Similarly the president can command at
any time an exclusive line 20 the capitol building
at the other end of Pennsylvania avenue and can
hold a confidential confab with any senator or
representative without anybody being the wiser
as to what has passed between them
Uncle Sans secret methods of communication
have been improved within the past few years
through the introduction of several important new
Inventions. One of these is the dictograph which
has been hailed as the successor of the telephone
ana which consists of master station in the
private office of official and a sub-station In
stalled in a separate room The advantage of this
Invention is found in the fact that the dctograph

which as 1t stands on desk would never arouse
a visitors suspicious as to its character These
qualifications give hint as to the manner in
which It has proven valuable to certain govern
ment officials. as for instance the officials of the
secret service. A criminal supposedly talking in
private may find that not only has his confession
been overheard, but that it has been taken down
word for word by stenographer seated at her
desk in room distance away.

missfve bearers is the invention known as the

the findings of the United States Supreme court
in the cases of the tobacco combine and other
trusts.
But, after all, the gravest responsibilities that
are imposed upon Uncle Sans secret methods of
communication come in connection with inter-
national complications of any kind-especially in
the event of crisis that threatens war One of
the best Illustrations of record of how close
mouthed Uncle Sam can be occasion was given
when large portion of the regular army was
mobilized on the Mexican frontier. That move
ment required much planning and preparation on
the part of the president and the high officials of
the army and navy and yet quietly did the
preparations go forward that one-third Of our
standing army was hurrying to the Rio Grande
ere the public had hint what was happening
This performance proved that the White house
is, as 1t indeed ought to be, the nerve center of
a very effective system for secret communication
The president has his own special telegraph and
telephone operators stationed at the executive
offices, but for bng distance work they must be
dependent upons the regular commercial lines
and for all that a direct line to anywhere can be
set aside for the exclusive use of the White house
almost at moments notice; there is, of course,
some danger that outsiders somewhere along the
line might overhear the messages that are clicked
over it. To get around this difficulty the White
house teegraphers send most of the highly con-
feentia messages in secret code or cipher
which means that message is translated into
