WAR MEDALS NOT CLAIMED

few medals were issued. The first
the Elizabethan seamen who defeated
the Armada, and the earliest military
decoration was a silver badge issued
by Charles in 1913 for presentation
to soldiers who had distinguished
themselves in forlorn hopes.
Waterloo was the first occasion
when there was a general issue of
medals, and since hat time, instead
of issuing too few medals, England
has gone. perhaps to the other ex-
treme. Soldiers point out that the
same decoration is awarded 10 the
man who has been fighting at the
front and carrying his life in his
regiment which has never stirred
from the base of operations or SO
much as seen the enemy.
Every effort is made by the author
tiles to see that medals reach their
owners, and II the owner of medal
happens to be dead, the medal is for
warded 10 his next OF kin. Yet there
are still large numbers unclaimed,
and according to the regulations now
in force, at the end OF ten years
time the medals will be broken UP
and the silver debited to the mint.

and when they come in contact with
body the waves are reflected back
to the ship In the same manner that
sound would be reflected back, but
this echo would not be audible to the
human ear.
Il therefore provide an apparatus
which might be considered as an arti-
fetal ear. 1t is provided with a large
diaphragm tightly drawn over a
drum-shaped cylinder, and so ar
ranged that the atmospheric pressure
is always the Same on both sides,
quite irrespective of any air blast. 1t

freely in response TO the waves of the
echo, and its vibrations are made to
open and close certain electrical cir
scuits which ring a series OF bells of
various sizes. II. for example, the

distance from the ship. a very small

Collective Housekeeping.

An English paper tells of an expert
ment in collective housekeeping in
what Is known as Brent Garden vii
lage. The dwelling houses contain all
improvements except kitchen. Meals
for everybody are cooked at a CEN
trail hall, and may either be eaten
there or sent home. A four-course din
ner costs only shilling and pence.
Servants are supplied, when needed
from the central hall at cost OF
about ten cents an hour.

Briefly stated, he wishes TO provide
ships with sixth sense" repre-
scented by an apparatus that will send
out vibrations and record minutely
the echoes" caused by them II they
strike against any hard object near
the ship an iceberg, for example
Sir Hiram got his idea OF this sixth
sense from the bat, which. according
60 him and other scientists, possesses
such a sense, and is able by means OF
&C 20 find it's way about in the dark
With perfect ease.
The inventor explains his invention
IN pamphlet Just published by him
IN London. The wreck OF the Titantic
was a severe and painful shock to US
all" he writes. Il asked myself: Has
science reached the end of It's tether?
ia there no possible means of avoid
ing such a deplorable loss Of life and
property At tho end Of four hours
10 occurred to mo that ships could be
provided with what might be ap-
.propriately called a sixth sense, that
would detect large objects in their
immediate vicinity without the aid
OF a searchlight."
Then Sir Hiram set to work to
study the bats peculiar possession
-gn en- endeavor to apply it to prevent
ing marine collisions, and soon hit
upon the idea which he now makes
public. Before describi' the new
Maxim apparatus 1t is to set
down what he has 10 say cut that
which inspired II. the sixth sense OF
The bat.
Every naturalist that has either
Experimental on bats or writes on
The subject" he says, seems to ad-
NIT that the extraordinary append
ages attached to the bats face are
organs Of perception more or less
allied TO the sense Of feeling, but
not one Of them, so far as can learn,
has ever suggested that these organs
ere for the purpose Of receiving the
echo from the vibrations of the wings.
4 think l was the first 10 discover this.
yhe inventor gees on to show that
Che wings of the bat are extremely
sensitive and very we'll provided with
nerves, which is also true OF the va
riCus organs of the bats face. These
nerves, he maintains, are intimately
connected with each other and with
The brain. Thus a bat, flying about
In total darkness, seers out, by
means of its wings, a series of pulsa-
lions or wave-like sound waves, but
100 low TO be considered sound.
,-9l,Gas waves, striking against all
Surrounding objects. are reflected
back to their source, just as sound
and light are, and these reflections
OF the vibrations, being received by
the sensitive organs on the face OF
the bat, enable It to judge the dis
lance to any object by the lapse of
time between the sending out and
the receiving Of tho waves.
Coming, then, 10 his collision-pre-
vcuter, Sir Hiram says:
Suppose now that we construct an
apparatus that will produce atmo-
Sphere vibrations OF about the same
frequency as those produced by the
oct, but instead OF using the infini-
tesimal amount OF energy employed
Gy The bat. We use 200 or 300-horse-
Yower-that Is, We send cut waves
that have an amplitude and energy at
Feast 800, 900 times as great as those
sent cut by the bat. These vibra-
lions, although Of great energy, will
not be audible TO our ears, but they
will shake UP and agitate light OBJ

We are glad to print the reply OF a
reputable surgeon of this city in the
statement Of DR. Mackenzie of
johns Hopkins with regard to opera
tons upon the threats Of children.
The discussion of such topics in the
public press is useful anG to be wei
coined. More frank publicity than
ever before is being given to the
treatment of disease and the proven
ton of it, For this a good deal of
credit is due to such men as Dr.
Woods Hutchinson, who. orthodox
enough in his medical, surgical and
hygienic creeds, is shockingly I'M
orthodox in regard to the exposure
of the facts concerning the science
Of medicine, says the Syracuse Post
Standard In this he has given Of
Tense to a good many other practi-
TONERS by refusing, as one of the
spectators says, ito help them pre-
serve the illusion that medicine is
mystery, comprehensive only to the
initiate, and that revelation of its Sc
crets is, on the one hand, treason to
the medical hierarchy. and, on the
other, full of peril for the ignorant
recipients" The people can stand
good deal more information than the
tradition of the medical men allows
them and benefit by it, too. Ig-
norance isn't safety. Ignorance is
what keeps patients away from real
doctors and sends them to sham
ones.

p.sARMINe TIE BEE.

TIL" honey of commerce is the prod

work in the fore part of him and o
red-hot stiletto in the rear. He is in,
dustricus enough to be written down
in the books of the proverbs and he is
illtempered enough TO make even
children respect him. He might be
described as a cross between a steam
engine and a carpet tack. An Eng
liGh apiarist-which is society Ian

menting with bees for a number or
years with a view to producing a

man, that his labors have been crown
ed with success. He has developed
species of bee that will suck the nee
tar from every nodding flower as as
siduously as the old-fashioned bee.
But he will not get on the high horse.
He will not draw his knife on you.
He is as stingless as a Penrose in
vestigation OF the Oil Trust. We're
not certain whether we'd care to have
this unarmed bee supplant the pres
ent rough-rider style of bee. We've
come to have a fondness for the pic
lures of those beemen showing col
cnies swarming over their persons as
other folks permit their offspring to
swarm over them. And we're sure
the beeman would miss those pic
lures themselves.
