TAKEN OVER BY GOVERNMENT
Telephone Business In Great Britain
10 No Longer In the Hands Of
the Corporations.

For many years the telephone
business of Great. Britain has been
N the process of passing from pri-
yate hands into those of the govern
ment, and at the beginning of the
present year the business was taken
over entirely by the government au-
thorities. An act passed in 1869
turned the postal business over to
the postmaster general, and later the
courts interpreted this to also en-
brace the telephone business, but the
government, instead of buying up
the patents and taking the telephone
service into its own hands, granted
licenses to the existing telephone
companies. At first the companies
were restricted in their operations to
limited areas, but from 1884 onward
the licenses were applicable over the
entire kingdom. This led to the or
ganization of large companies, and
by 1892 practically all the business
was in the hands Of the National
Telephone company, limited. In
1896 the government took over the
operation of all the trunk lines con-
Meeting one town with another, pay
ing the company upward of $2,233,-
723. The latter continued to operate
the local lines, but all its business
was turned over to the government
at the beginning of the present year.

PREcAUTIoN AGAINST THE SPY
Foreign Offices Of European Countries
Ever on the Watch for Possible
Leakage.

Every foreign office in all the Eu-
ropean capitals acts on the theory
that an army of spies is constantly
on the alert to steal its secrets, and
infinite precautions are taken to baf-
file their efforts. Very shortly after
the first use of blotting paper it was
discovered that it was possible to
cause.a blotting pad to give up jeal-
ously guarded secrets by simply hold
ing it in front of mirror. Long
after all the commercial world had
forgotten the existence of such a
thing the British foreign Office used
sand shaker to dry its important
written documents. Then specially
manufactured ink blotting paper was
used, but this was found to be not
absolutely spyproof, and return to
the sand shaker was contemplated,
when some one suggested the simple
expedient of small absorbent roll
er. These rollers have since beer
used.

THINGS THAT ARE PRACTICAL
Matters Of Real Use That Are Being
Taught Women In the City
Of London.

A school instructing women in the
practical details of everyday life hac
just been established in London.
Students are taught how to open a
window and put up a shade in q
railway carriage, how to get off and
on street car, the proper method of
doing up umbrellas, how to fill a
fountain pen and trim lamp. Other
courses taught include opening pack
ing cases and tin cans, how to drive
nails, how to fold clothes, how to
pull corks, how to light fire and
the kind of shoe to wear to conserve
health, and when to wear them. A
specially is made of the feeding and
care of dogs and other animals, and
the theories of sanitation. Lectures
are given on the prices of food, mate
rials for clothing and the quantities
needed for stated number of per-
sons.

MORTALITY IN WAR.

War, called by the great Erasmus,
'the malady of princess y has had SO
many victims we will never be able
to reckon them up. However, it is
computed that up to the middle of
the nineteenth century no less than
6,S6o,o0O,000 men perished on the
field of battle. In all probability
the estimate is under, rather than
over, the mark. You may be correct
in thinking that ''wars are practical
ly over" among civilized people, but
from the present-day armaments of
the so-called civilized peoples it
would look as though those in au-
thority had not yet gotten over the
fear of the old terror.

CARNATIONS FROM THE BODY
Students of Photography Have for
Some Time Recoonized Them as
to Be Guarded Against.

Major D'Anget's reported discov-
cry of the Photographic powers of
the human body, or of supposed
emanations from it, may contain new
details of interest, but the general
principle will not appear startling to
those who have had experience in
photography. Many photographers
have learned from experience that it
is not well to handle extremely sem
sitive dry plates more than is abso-
lutely necessary-that, indeed, it is
best while developing them to keep
them at arms length from their
bodies, and even to screen them with
some nonconducting substance; and
they have found now and then on
plates strange marks and blurs and
fogs which were inexplicable save on
the theory of actinic emanations
from the body. The French discov-
erer may add some interesting infor-
nation to what has thus long been
known in general way.-New York
Tribune.

ARE THESE ciRcAssIAN7

Two quaint daggers-the pair be-
long in one sheath, and are worn
slung across the body from the right
shoulder-are believed to be Circas-
sian, and are owned by George W..
Rhoades. The bone-handled wea-
pons have keen blades, eight inches
long. One handle is wrapped with
brass wire, and the other with cop
per.
Circassian, or Tcherkesses, is a
general term applied to the north
western group of peoples inhabiting
the region of the Caucasus, now in
cluded in Prussian territory. There
are many tribes and the blood is
much mixed. They have few manu-
factures, but they have skill in max
ing rugs, weapons and the like.
Many of their women have decided
beauty. Circassians are brave and
hospitable, but vindictive.
Their subjugation was completed
in 1864, when many thousands of
them emigrated to Turkey.

SUN AS THE LAMPLIGHTER
Novel System Of Illumination That Is
to Be Employed on the Panama
Canal.

The Panama canal, which is now
nearing completion, is to have a
novel system of illumination for its
lighthouses. The gas used for the
flame is acetylene, but the sun is to
be the lamplighter! These lamps
will be lit by lamplighter nearly a
hundred million miles away! The
lamps will be fitted with copper
cylinders exposed to the air. When
the sun rises in the morning its rays
will cause the cylinders to expand,
and SO close valves which admit gas
to the burners. AS the sun goes
down and the air cools the copper
cylinders will contract, so opening
the valves and admitting gas to the
burners, where it will be lighted by
small pilot-jets resembling the or
binary bypass.

IsTHmus NOT DEADLY ROUTE
Figures Explode Idea That Strip
Across Continent Was a Thing
to Be Dreaded

One of the most potent arguments
against the construction Of the
canal at Panama, in the days when
the building Of this work by the
United States was under discussion,
was the frightful number of fatali-
ties which were supposed to have at
tended the construction of the Pana-
ma railroad in the middle Of the
ninereenth century. "a dead man
for each cross tie" was favorite
theme with the magazine writer and
the politician. Gen. George W. Da-
Wis, u. S. A., first governor of the
canal zone, has exploded this time
honorcd story by showing that
whereas the number of ties amount
ed to 100000, the road never en-
ployed, during its five years Of con-.
struction, more than 1000 laborers.
In its first four years of operation
the railroad carried 10000 passen-
gers, not one Of whom contracted
illness as the result of crossing the
isthmus.

HONOR ST. PATRICK.

Thousands of people from many
parts of Ireland and other countries
went, recent Sunday, on the an
nusl pilgrimage to Croagh's Patrick,
the mountain to the south of Clew
Bay, which is associated with the life
of st. Patrick. 1t is the subject of
"a striking legend concerning the
saints banishing of toads and adders
and other noxious creatures by the
ringing of his bell. The railway
company ran special excursion trains
for the pilgrims to Westport,
whence it is an excursion of about
eight miles to the SACRED noun
tain" which has always been a place
of pilgrimage for religious exercises,
the chief of these being held at the
little oratory on the summit.

BABY SEA ELEPHANT.

A baby sea elephant weighing 500
pounds and valued at $4,000 was
seized by the customs officers at San
Diego, CAL, short time ago, when
it was brought there on the schooner
Santa Barbara from Guadalupe Isl
and, off Lower California. The man.
NAL is owned by John Ramsey of
Los Angeles. Ramsey protested
payment of duty and had given or
ders to leave the sea elephant in
charge of the government when a
compromise was effected. The man.
NAL was captured after a hard battle
with its mother on the shores of
Guadalupe.

RESPECT THE MAIL CARRIER
LawIess Men Refrain From Moiestina
OfficiaI Known to Be on Inn

Many strange means are en-
ployed in the carriage of the mails
in remote corners of the globe. The

who figures on the handsome post

upon swift dromedary. clad in a

ALWAYS WORTH THE LIVING
Dependency Only Of the Moment, and
Life 10 Bound to Resume lts
cheerfuiness.

OF course we have all heard the
query, 'Is life worth living?"
Perhaps we've asked it of our
selves many times, in moments of
discouragement, when all things
seemed to be working for the darker
side, and the sunlight of hope was
for the time being obscured by heavy
clouds.
Many are the answers-in fact, all
humanity from the very beginning
has been responding to the great
challenge-and we are today the liy-
ing exponents of the problem.
If my life, your life and the life
of our neighbor has been 1ived" and
holds the power to keep on doing SO,
then yes, thousand times, our lives
are worth livingl
But if, for some or many reasons,
these lives have been spent in days
of idleness, or worse, the answer is
to be found on the face of the undc-
niable failures which arc the out
come of such waste.
People who are il earnest about
whatever they are engaged in doing
seldom have time to stop and ask
such questions; they are too busy
making their own and the lives of
those with whom they are associated
really worth while to withdraw from
life's great army of -a-orkers think
ers and '1ivers"-merely to stand by
the roadside and say, '1s it all worth
while?"
Some people remind us of 'insu-
lated" bodies; they are wholly unre-
sponsive, cut off-as it were-from
the influence of anything good, true
and beautiful, seemingly surrounded
by their own narrowness of mind
and smallness of soul.
And they are the ones who ask,
els life worth living ?"-Exchanage.

ROOF GARDEN ON CHURCH.

The first church in America to
have a roof garden, to be used as a
playhouse for children during the
day and for open-air services in the
evening, will be in Boston. 1t will
be on the site of the Clarendon Bap-
tist church. The church was badly
burned last winter, and the trustees
will build church up to date in
every detail to take its place. The
roof of the church will be fiat and
the conventional steeple will be
omitted. The roof will have cren-
ellated borders and steel girders,
making it safe place for children
to play. Services will be held there
in the summer time when the wealth.
er permits. Moving pictures will be
utilized to increase the interest in
Bible study.

PRACTICAL MEN ON FACULTY
Educators In South American Univer.
stiles Have More Than knowI-
edge of Written Lore.

Professors in the universities
throughout South America are often
men who practice their professions
at the same time as they teach. Law
yers, doctors, engineers, architects,
newspaper men, publishers and edi-
tors make up the faculty, says DR..
Edgar E. Brandon, who has just re-
turned to Washington after a year
spent in the study of educational in
stitutions in South America. These
men teach probably only three or
four hours week, but they come
right in from the actual practice of
their profession to do this. They
are all men of considerable learning
and high regulations in their COM
munities. The best physicians, the
best lawyers, and even the high state
officials all willingly accept profes-
sorships in any of the colleges. This
lends certain dignity to the insti-
tutions which is sometimes lacking
in the United States in spite of our
better teaching methods. These
men, of course, cnnot make a liv-
ing from teaching alone, but they
combine their own profession with
teaching in order to supplement
their income. In proportion to the
time given to teaching, professors
are better paid in Latin America
than in this country.
