MAKES THE BEST WATcHMAN
Metal With Peculiar Qualities Never
Sleeps and May Be Relied on Not
TO Leave Premises.

BY taking advantage of the pecul-
lar properties of the rare metal sele-
MUM it is possible to do some great
wonders. A "selenium CELL" as it
lis called, is a means of translating
light into electric current, as it
were; that is, the electrical conduc-
ltivity of the selenium varies with
the amount of light it receives. Thus
a selenium cell may be made to turn
lights on at night and shut them off
in the morning.
A Frenchman has now designed
a burglar alarm on this principle. 1t
is kind of automatic "eye," which
keeps on watch all night. If bur-
glar comes in and opens his dark
lantern or even strikes match the
selenium "eye" viii see the light
and will cause a bell to ring in any
desired place.. twill also see and
report fire. Thus it can take the
place of human Waterman, and il
never goes to sleep. Presumably il
would have to be turned off before
daylight else it would ring every
body up.-The Pathfinder.

HALF-MAsr HIGH.

One of the most universal of Gus
toms when a prominent man dies is
the. hosting of flags ON public build
ings only part of the way up the
f1ag-poles. This is known at ''half-
mast y but how many know what
the custom means or how it origina-
ted?
To begin with this practice was a
military one. Ever since flags were
used in war it has been the custom
to have the flag of the superior or
conquering nation above that of the
inferior or vanquished. When an
army found itself hopelessly beaten
it hauled its flag down far enough
for the flag of the victors to be
placed above it on the same pole.
This was a token, not only of sub
mission, but of respect. In like man.
ner when a famous soldier died, flags
were lowered not only to indicate re-
spect to his memory, but to show
that he had succumbed to the great
conquerer of all, death-for whose
flag space was metaphorically left at
the top of the flagstaff.

ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE
Professors WelLMeant Apology Could

"What a beautiful woman Mrs.
Raymond is !" he exclaimed. 81 have
just had such a pleasant talk With
her in the book store"
His wife looked up from her sew
ing.
"John y she exclaimed, "where is
your collar?"
The professor of philosophy put
his hand to his throat. 81 must have
left it at the barber shop. Yes, that's
it. l went to the barber shop; then
to the book store. 'Why," he ended
lamely, ''Mrs. Raymond would think
it very careless of me to appear in
public without my collar, wouldn't
she?"I
Rather" said his wife. "Perhaps
you'd better call her up and tell her
just how it happened
Exactly" said the professor.
The professor went to his tele-
phone.
"Hello, central, hello. Hello-is
this Mrs. Raymond? Yes? Well,
really, it was very stupid of me, Mrs
Raymond; but, you know, had been
thinking of something very impor-
tant, and l quite forgot to put on
my collar. Lob !-ah l-goodby.'
The professor suddenly hung up
the receiver. He gave utterance tC
a mild exclamation.

'She says she hasn't been out Of
the house today" groaned the pro-
fessor.

NEW ENGLAND GUM HUNTING


Not the least of the fun about the
New Hampshire logging camps was
the cumming" You, of course
have to go on snowshoes, equipped
with a long pole from six to nine
feet long, with a galvanized square
tin arranged on the end to form a
cup, the edges being left very sharp
to loosen the gum from the tree
when it was beyond the reach Of
hands.
Much falls to the ground, but
can be easily picked up from the
snow, says the Hartford Courant.
The gum is found in globules, in
riffs and seams of the spruce tree,
and is a highly priced as well as
highly priced product. The lumber
men have little time to gather it ex-
cept Sundays, but there are now
many professional gummers."
In Boston this gum brings 20
cents an ounce, and the choice, white,
clear specimens bring So to $3.50 a
pounds Thus good GUNNER on
good territory can easily make from
$500 to $500 in a few months; al
though it is hard work, and very
often there are days so cold and
stormy that he cannot work at all.
so altogether the work is not allur-
ing from professional standpoint,
but it is good sport for a while.

SEARCH SAND EOS scARAss
rsIftlno" Parties Of English Girls oo.
caslonalIy Find TrIfes Of Artistic
Worth IN Egypt.

There are several hundred Eng
lish girls In Cairo and lower Egypt
engaged by the Egyptian govern
ment as teachers in the system Of ma
tive education that has been devel-
oped within the last five years.
These women live together in colo
MES, and outside Of working hours
they find great deal to interest
them in the strange country.
One of their chief recreations is
the @sifting' picnic. 1t is like any
other picnic, except that it is held
in the desert near the scene of some
scientific excavation, with which the
vicinity Of Cairo itself abounds.
Also, in addition to her lunch, each
girl carries a sieve.
The ancient Egyptians were no
where so luxurious as in their deco
rations Of the trappings of their
dead. The vicinity of scientific ex-
plorations and excavations is fertile
of scarabs and other roughly cut or
naments.
1t is not unusual for a picnicking
teacher to sift a pint or two of rude
ornaments out of the sand, on these
"sifting" picnics. And, while most
of the finds are of little intrinsic
value, occasionally some rare trife Of
ancient art is unearthed from the
desert sand.

their trouble but were stopped by a
special policeman on their promise
to go home quietly. They had got
ten nearly to Seventeenth street
when they began yelling and firing
a pistol. John Thomas had gone out
into the yard and was standing near
his auto. He was going to run it
into his garage When the boisterous
negroes passed. Mr.. Thomas told
his next door neighbor. Col. Jouett

he would come down after them if

the bridge on the Cox Mill road. The
distance covered was ABOUT two
miles.
In the buggy was found a pistol
with four empty chambers. but one
of the negroes had lot of empty
shells of another calibre, and it is
thought that he threw the pistol in
the bushes when he realized that he
was about to be arrested.
One negro was brought to town in
the buggy and the other in the auto.
They told conflicting stories coming
into town, as the officers very wisely
kept them from getting up story

Beaumont got S21 for disorderly
