Wireless Lighthouse Stations.

We have the horseless carriage,
wireless telegraph, smokeless powder,
ETC., and now we are having the light
less lighthouse. Should the wireless
lighthouse stations installed at Brest,
France, which automatically send out
warning messages to ships every few
seconds. without the help of man,
prove a success, as they are report
ed to be, it will mean that the old
system of lights, bells, horns and 9th
er danger warnings at sea will be rem
dered unnecessary. The lighthouse in
each case would act as an aerial mast.
By simple clockwork arrangement,
which only needs attention once a
week or so, distinctive messages are
sent out by each station every few
seconds. One set of signals are sent
out by each station every few seconds,
One set of signals are sent out every
ten seconds and another set every 80
seconds, so that ships may positively
identify the lighthouse that is talk.

How Mad She Was,

The limit of forgiveness was surely
reached by the woman who, after re-
ceiving 25 gashes from Ratchet and
having two ribs broken, refuses to
prosecute her husband, and asks:
What is the use of starting up lot
of trouble?" Perhaps it is as much
dependence as forgiveness, In Lon
don, where wife-beating is favorite
sport of the slums, the police find the
greatest difficulty in bringing the Of
tenders to book because women have
to choose between denying that they
were ill-used or starving while their
brute husbands are in Jail. One wom-
an was brought into court all bruised
and beaten up, but she denied that her
husband had done it and pleaded that
she had fallen downstairs. But" said
the judge, "a piece of your ear has
been bitten Off" Yes, l did that my
self; l was so mad."-San Francisco
Chronicle.

oldest of JaiIs.

One of the oldest of jails is that at
Clifton, Graham county, Ariz., which
lies in one of the copper mining GEN.
tiers of the new state This Jail COM
pTises four large apartments hewn in
the side of hill of solid quartz rock
The entrance is situated in a boXlike
vestibule built of heavy masonry and
the gates have three sets of steel bars.
At intervals in the rocky walls holes
to serve as windows have been blast
ed and in these apertures a series of
massive bars of steel has been fitted
firmly in the rock. The floor of this
rockbound Jail is of cement. The
prisoners are confined wholly in the
larger apartments. In certain places
the wall of quartz about the Jail is no
less than fifteen feet in thickness. So
solid and heavy are the barriers to
this institution that no prisoner has
ever attempted escape.-Harper'
Weekly.

An interesting story of a convict
and his two pet mice is told in the
report of Captain Hanson, the prison
commissioner of London.
Captain Hanson said the convict
who was imprisoned at Parkhurst, had
two pet mice, but was ordered to an
other prison, where he was unable to
take his pets. Captain Hanson prom
Used to have them cared for and him
self went to the cell for the mice.
Never shall l forget the parting
scene," continued the officer. THE
man took each of the mice, calling
them by name, kissed them, and then
put them in little box he had lined
with flannel, and with them a piece Of
bread and piece of cheese he had
saved"

"Cuss" Ii II HELPS.

The use of profanity, if it imparts
a feeling of satisfaction, is not con-
demned by learned professor of Eng
lish, H. c. Long, of the Carnegie In
stitute of Technology.
This form of expression is artistic,
according to the professor, who sub
stimulates his ideas by pointing to the
reputation of George Washington, who,
he says, was an artist in profanity.
Prof. Long is quoted by the Tartan,
the Carnegie tech paper, as follows:
ITO become profane on trivial &C.
casions is surely to deprive this rem
edy for human ills of it's virtue by de-
grading to inferior use. Washington
reputation as a perfect and secure ar
fist in the profane was gained on two
or three occasions only, when he felt
the frenzy of great provocation,"

Fed lane in France.

A curious little monument to French
red tape is to be seen at the Petit
Palais. The clock in the building has
marked the same hour for the last
10 years, although it is in perfect re-
pair. The explanation borders on the
ridiculous.
At the close of the Paris exhibition
Is years ago a busybody of an Of
fetal stopped the clock for no other
reason than that the exhibition was
closing it's gates. Since then it has
remained stationary, for the simple
reason that it does not appear on the
list of clocks which the official clock
winder to the municipal council has to
attend to, and until some particularly
energetic member of the council at
tends to the matter the present state
Of affairs is likely to continue.

Railroads Fun Like an Army.

mann SaNS Inv GIL SNlIIys
1t is we'll known that practically all
of the railway employees of Prussia
have served in the army. When they
enter the railway ranks from the army
certain credits are allowed for their
military service, and certain positions
are reserved for army men. This mil
itary experience shows it's influence
ON their department and discipline in
railway service. There is a noticeable
orderliness and precision about every
thing connected with German rail-
ways. In respect for authority and
strict observance of the rules the Ger
man railway employe has no superior
The traveller will not fail to notice
the red-capped station master stand
ing at attention on the station plat
form as the train passes through each
station. He will also find the senior
signalman, gateman and other en-
ployes connected with train service al
ways in evidence, standing like SEN
tries as the train passes. The operat-
ing official, while riding over the lie,
can thus take census of all employees
in positions of responsibility. When

once recognized. The station master
Immediately salutes and gives verbal
report of the situation at his station.
If the official goes into signal tower
the signalman in charge salutes and

Got Leo First.

Profting by past experience, Mrs.
Annie Boloski of Chester, Pa, saved
herself a severe beating at the hands
of her husband, she says, resorting to
tactics that had been used by Bolosh
on previous occasions.
When Mrs. Boloski was arraigned
before Alderman Carter on the charge
of assault and battery preferred by her
husband, John Boloski, she admitted
that she was guilty of the charge, but
she acted in self-defense.
IF she hadn't yanked off my wood
en- leg and beat me over the head with
it wouldn't have had her arrested"
Boolski declared.
Mrs. Boloski stated that her hus-
band had been il the habit of chastis-
ing her with his wooden leg, and that
on this occasion she simply beat him
to it."

LITTLE THINGS THAT KILL
Railroads Declare That Many En-
pIoyes Lose Lives Through Care
lessness Of Others.

1t is the little things that are kill
ing the men who run the engines and
work in the yards and on the trains
and in the shops; and this the railway
companies are also telling their men.
Here are some examples furnished by
the claims department of one of the
great railways of the West:
At Cape Girardeau, Mo-, the Frisco
railway has little turn-table in
stalled in a round house. Someone
about the roundhouse fixed a stick
with nail in the end of it, to be
used in hosting the night light over
the track running out on the table. ="
After the .happy-go-lucky fashion that
obtained there, the man who lit and
hoisted the light always threw down
the stick OF the deck of the turn
table" 1t so happened that hostler
jumped down from the running board
of an engine one night, lit on the stick
and rolled on over the deck into the
pit beneath, breaking both wrists and
otherwise damaging himself This
cost the railroad considerable money
and practically disabled the employee
for life. But the cases are legion.
At Garfield, Mo-, an accident &C.
Cured few months ago that resulted
from "over-caution' thoughtlessly ap-
piled. The night operator set his red
light against an oncoming passenger
train for which he had orders To
make doubly sure that the train
stopped he told his helper to step out
and place a torpedo on the track
The young man did so. He placed
it exactly in front of the station plat
form, instead of walking a few yards
down the track. A curious youth loung-
ing around on the platform when the
train pulled in was struck by a piece
of the torpedo when it exploded and
seriously injured. The injured young
man, of course, demanded damages.

toylike boiler and it's four. clumsily
built drive wheels. The engineer is
seen standing in plain view of the
observer and the little plaything of an
engine is hauling a train Of passenger
coaches that would not do for freight
cars in the present generation.
With much pomp and display the
poster advertises a fast" train from
La Crosse, Wis, to Chicago. The train
was announced to leave the Wiscon-
sin city at 2:15 a. m. and not arrive
here until $50 p. m, where, the poster
says, Trains leave Chicago on all
eastern roads at Z p. m. and 6 a. m"
The bill was the advertising me-
dunn employed by the Milwaukee &
Minnesota railroad. The train, which
il depicted with such graphic art, ran
over the lines of the Milwaukee G.
Minnesota formerly the La Crosse &
MiiWaukee) from La Crosse to Mil
waukee, where it connected with the
eastern express train of the Milwau-
kee & Chicago railroad line"
The fact was also exploited in large
black type that after arriving at Chi
cago at 81 80 p. m. the passenger could
find himself in Buffalo or Pittsburgh
the next afternoon and then-wonders
not ceasing-he could be in New York,
Boston or Philadelphia the next morn
ing after that. The announcement is
datod Doconobpr IN 1870
By way of comparison, it is strong
commentary on the progress that rail-
roads, particularly those running out
of Chicago to the west, have made in
the last half century.
At the time it was issued the Mil
waukee & Minnesota railroad had only
couple of hundred miles of crude
track over which the miniature trains
bumped and ratified in cloud of black
smoke. Today the line which might
be termed the great grandchild of this
old-time transportation line, reaches
across the continent from Chicago to
the Pacific coast, with total mileage
of over $500 miles, and it is spend
iuS dI TIC IdIS VI poO,OoO,VOo d year i'll
improving and increasing its trackage.
The development thus shown is
typical of what the great west has
done for the railroad and what the
railroads in turn have done for the
country. Back in 1859 when the Mil
waukee & Minnesota railroad was the
wonder of all those who rode upon it,
the line had not yet crossed the mis-
sissippi river and passengers desiring
to 60 to st. Paul were compelled to
| take the packet line up the river from
| La Crosse. But the railroads in the
years that have elapsed since that day
have reached out their arms of steel
across the plains and a vast empire
has sprung into being as if by magic.

INFANT MORTALITY is LOWER
Efforts Of Health officials During Last
Five Years Have Brought Down
Death List in Cities.

What the American cities are do
ing and can do toward preventing in
FAINT mortality and the high death
rate of children under five years of
age is the subject Of bulletin issued
by the children's bureau of the de-
partment of labor 1t is the purpose
of the bureau 10 issue a similar bull
letin annually and in time to make
1t complete manual for municipal
and philanthropic activities in the d.
rection of child welfare. Summer
campaigns for babies lives have been
waged with such marvelously good
effect in some cities, that it seems to
the bureau important to enlist the
energies of as many cities in this
work as possible. To this end it will
be helpful to collect and present for
the information of all, the little or
much that is being done by the vari-
Gus cities.
The efforts of city health officials
have resulted in the last ten years
in reducing the general death rate
in cities, below that of the rural dis
tricts and villages. This reduction in
the general death rate is an encourag-
ing indication Of what is possible of
accomplishment in efforts to reduce
the infant death rate. Babies die of
diseases which to large extent are
preventable, and thus when welfare
work is directed toward saving their
lives the response is immediate and
decided.
