The Monteneqrins.

1t is only in recent years that Monte
negrins have begun TO appreciate the
services of the hospital. Hulme Bea-
man, after visiting the country in 1889,
wrote that the people take very little
care of their children, and only the
sound and strong grow up. In after
life, too, they are extremely averse to
sanitary precautions or medical treat
ment, and a sick Montenegrin is almost
synonymous with dead man. At least
he at once gives himself up and, if he
RECEIVERS, looks upon it as a curious
freak in natures laws. The few who
reluctantly submit to losing an arm or
a leg invariably refuse anaesthetics
and converse with their friends, smok-
ing a cigarette while the knife and
saw are at work"

SHE WAS A CREOLE.
Her Visitor Was Sorry For That Until
He Was Enlightened.


1t was showing in the north, but in
New Orleans the air was as soft as
May, and in a garden brilliant with
flowers and sunshine the winter Wis

creole coffee
How good this creole coffee isr'

you know. a creole"
The young man looked shocked. hurt.
Well, after ALL" he said in low voice,
you can't help that, and I'm sure no
sensible person thinks any the worse of
you"
His hostess. who was very beautiful,
with hair and eyes like night, laughed
merrily.
"Define the word creole" she said.
And the young man replied. "A creole
is a descendant Of French or Spanish
immigrants, with touch of negro
blood in his or her veins
And the word means Just the oppo-
site?' the woman cried. "a creole is a
descendant of French or Spanish immi-
grants whose veins hold not a drop of
negro blood"
''Well, well! didn't know that"
mol! she said. Nobody from the
north does. The word creole is prob
ably the unique word of the dictionary,
word that is universally misunder-
stood. Why, it is as though you thought
up there in the north that white meant
black. New York Tribune.

People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tor
lures of an aching back, relief is
eagerly sought for. There are many
remedies today that relieve, but not
permanently. Doan's Kidney Pills
have brought lasting results to thou
sands. Here is proof of merit from
this vicinity.
Mrs. William Charley, Grape
street, Medford, Ore, says: THE
public statement | gave in praise of
Doan's Kidney Pills in 1907 still
holds good. ! occasionally take this
remedy and find that it keeps my
kidneys in proper working order. A
fall was the cause of kidney COM
plant in my case. The kidney secre-
tions were unnatural and sometimes
| had such acute pains in my back
that l could hardly bend over. / did
not sleep well and despite the use of
plasters, liniments and remedies of
various kinds, | continued to suffer.
While in that condition, Doan's Kid
ney Pills were brought to my atten-
tion and, procuring a box, | COM
menced taking them. In about two
weeks l felt better and the contents
of four boxes made me well. | have
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to
many other people"

CAREFUL OF THEIR COWS.
Isle of Jersey Sees to Il That the Breed
Is Kept Absolutely Pure.

Undoubtedly the little island Of Jer-
sey has been enriched by the profit of
its COWS. In modern days potato rails
ing and fruit culture have helped, but
it is the solid, continual profit of the
cattle that has made the island rich.
So carefully do they tend them there
and so frugal are they of waste in
trOdden pastures, says Our Dumb Ami
mails, that they actually tether their
animals, and the children or indoor
servants shift them at morn, noon and
night.
Gentleness is their cue in handling
the calf. which. after a dose of moth
er's milk, has to be content with skim
milk, or skillegalee. She Is haltered
and fed by hand and becomes docie
and gentle and when two years old
yields indoors or out her bountiful
bucketful of frOthy. rich milk to the
quiet women folk who milk her.
The Jersey breed is kept pure by
stringent laws against the importation
of foreign stock. The summer pastur-
age is very rich, and cattle remain out
from May till October, but during the
winter they are always comfortably
housed
The milk is used almost exclusively
in making butter. A good Jersey will
make an average of pound Of butter
every day in the year. The Jersey is
beautiful in form, and her abounding
dairy products make her a favOrite
with the household, an ornament to
] any farm or estate and a source of
| great profit to her owner

been exploded at a distance by infra-
red or ultraviolet rays, and that a Brit
ish battle ship had been used in test of
this kind, which proved successful. The
dispatches gave great opportunity to sem
sational speculation, but the truth is that
there was no novelty whatever in what
was done.
"A mine or magazine may have been
blown up, but this was accomplished in
a well-known manner through the appli-
cation of a kind of electrical waves
which are now generally adopted in the
transmission of signals without wires.
Similar experiments were performed In
this country many years ago by myself
and others, and quite recently John Hays
Hammond, Jr.. has done creditable work
in this direction through the application
of an art which has been named 'Telau-
tomatoes or wireless control of moving
mechanism at a distance.
''By means of such telautomatic ves
sells, surface, submarine or aerial, per
feet system of coast defense can be es-
tablished. Torpedoes on this plan also
can be controlled from battle ships, and
there is no doubt they sooner or later
will be adopted and their introduction will
have a revolutionary effect on the
methods of warfare.
1.-THE results described are, however,
not impossible. 1t is quite practicable
to explode by rays of light mine at
distance. as by acting on a mixture of
chlorine and hydrogen. Certain dark
rays also can be employed to produce de-
structive effects. AS far back as 1897
disclosed before the New York Academy
of sciences the discovery that Roentgen,
or X-rays. projected from certain bulbs
have the property of strongly charging
an electrical condenser at a distance.
The energy so accumulated readily can
be discharged and cause the ignition of
some explosive compound.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1913-12-15

wave lengths and cannot penetrate steel
shells, while the longer and more pene-
trating waves of the infra-red rays are
chemically much less active. There is
no doubt in my mind that we soon shall
be able to project energy at a distance
not only in small. but in large amounts,
and what the effect of such an achieve
ment will be on existing conditions words
cannot express.
"As regards the determination of lati-
tude and longitude of a vessel at sea by
wireless, there is nothing in use as yet
which would make such direct observa-
tion possible. Some suggestions. how
ever, which have since many years ad-
vocated, have been adopted. They are
the flashing of TIME signals over a wide
area and the employment of an instru-
ment known as wireless compass.
"These means enable an expert on
vessel to ascertain the exact hour at any
sending station within reach, and also,
in an imperfect manner. the direction
in which it is situated. and from these
data it is possible to get a rough idea of
the position of the ship relative to the
points of reference.
"a perfect means for determining not
only such and other data important to
the navigator already is available, but it
may require years to apply it. l refer
to the use of the stationary waves,
which were discovered by me IA years
ago The subject is too technical to be
explained in detail, but the average
reader can be made to understand the
general principle.
The earth is conductor of electricity,
and as such has its own electrical period
of vibration. The time, of one complete
swing is about one-twefth of one second.
In other words. this is the interval the
current requires in passing to and re-
turning from the Numerically opposite
point of the globe.
Now, the wonderful fact is that not
withstanding it's immense size, the earth
responds to a great number of vibrations
and can be resonantly excited just like
wire of limited dimensions. When this
takes place there are formed on its sur
face stationary parallel circles of equal
electrical activity, which can be revealed
by properly attuned instruments
Imagine that a transmitter capable
of exciting the earth were placed at one
of the poles. Then the chests and hol-
lows of the stationary waves would be
In parallel circles with their planes at
right angles to the axis of the earth,
and from reading of properly graduat-
ed instrument the distance of a vessel
carrying the same from the pole could
be at once read, giving accurately the
geographical latitude.
I'm like manner, if a transmitter were
placed at a point on the equator the
longitude could be precisely determined
by the same means But the best plan
would be to place three transmitters at
properly chosen points on the globe 50
as to establish thre non-interferable sys-
TENS of stationary waves at right angles
to one another. If this were done in
Vulnerable results of the greatest prac.
teal value could be realized.--New iorf
