TOLL GATES ARE
BELIEVED DOOMED
Likely To Be Abolished in
Montgomery County, Md.
State May Take Road.

ROCKVILLE. Nd. Oct. 23.-There is
believed TO be Il strong probability that
all toll gates in Montgomery county will
coon be abolished. This will be made
oSSible if a plan now on foot for the
taking over by the State Roads Com
iSSionerS of the twenty-siX miles of
like of the Upion Turnpike COMPANY.
Representatives of the turnpike com
I any appeared before the county com
nIissioners here, and proposed to sell TO
the county the nine miles of the pike
extending from Olney to Brookeville
and from Sandy Spring to Ednor for
$4,000, il being explained that if the
county would take over that portion Of
the turnpikeS roads the State Roads
Commission would buy for $4,000 the
sixteen miles from the District line to
Olney and from Olney to Ashton by way
of Sandy Spring.
The commissioners decided to set
aside day to hear objections, if any,
against a special levy of 10 cents against
ulney and Wheaton districts to raise
the $4,000.
The plan is for the Good Roads Com
mission to buy, improve and maintain
the sixteen miles, and the county to take
similar action in regard to the other
nine miles. There is said to be little
doubt about the success of the project

| TO MAKE SEA SAFE
Remarkable New Invention Is
Wireless Long Distance Mirror.
Its Purpose Is to Convey an Image In
the Same Manner That Sounds Are
Now Communicated to Dis
tant Points.

New York.--A remarkable invention
pregnant with useful possibilities is
the wireless long-distance mirror. Its
purpose, in brief is to convey an inn
age in the same manner that sounds
are now communicated
1t is a radical Improvement on the
old-time camera obscura, a structure
in which the real image of an object
is projected upon white table or 9TH
er plane surface. Not only does the
new apparatus reflect on a mirror all
objects located and all happenings oc-
curing within a much greater area
than the camera obscura, but il oper-
ates at night.
Just how the machine works has not
yet been revealed, but the machine is
known to consist of web of wires at
tached to a tall mast, and it is this
web of wires which receives the i'm
pressions and projects them on the
mirror located at the base of the
mast
The principal value of the new ap-
paratus will be in its application to
ships. 1t is expected to prevent col
lisions with other ships, icebergs or
derelicts by disclosing the where
abouts of such dangers to the lookout
long before the vessel comes within

New Yorker Sues Ledger in State Su-

All S4,009.55.

New York.-Joscph James Hughes
mas brought suit in the Supreme court
for the recovery OF S4,009.55 from
George H. Robinson. A big board bill
figures in the action. The complain
ant says that Robinson agreed on
August %, 1909, to board with him
in an apartment on Central Park
West and TO pay him $50 week. His
board bill now amounts to S2,929, ac-
cording to Hughes.
In addition Robinson. Hughes says,
became dissatisfied with life in New

South Orange, agreeing to pay for the
unexpired lease. This, he says, adds

FASCINATION OF THE POPPY
Has Effect on Bees and Animals the
Same as II Has on the
Human Race.

The direful effects Of opium upon
animals and the fearful temptation IL
is to some of them are set forth in a
recent number of the French Gazette
des Hopitaux. which quotes some
strange evidences gathered by Francis
GARNER in China in 1878.
The culture OF the poppy" writes
GARNER, has caused n most important
article-wax-to disappear from the
market OF Yunnan. According TO the
natives, the bees, formerly very nu-
merous in this part of China. have
experienced for the poppy flower the
same morbid liking that the Chinese
feel for the juice that is drawn from
its fruit. In the season when the
poppy fields are in bloom these insects
come In crowds to ransack them. but
their taste for other food, and they
perish after two successive seasons.
Another example of this singular
attraction that the poppy exerts upon
animals as well as upon men was
called TO our attention. In an opium
refinery in the city it was noticed that
the rats came every evening in great
numbers TO snuff the fumes that arose
from the furnaces. Following the sud-
den occupation of Yunnan by the Mo-
hammedans the refinery was closed
down and was abandoned for a time.
When a new owner took possession he
found upon the Waiting that remained
in place many dead rats. These had
died of hunger while waiting for the
pleasure they had been accustomed to
enjoy in breathing the opium fumes"

Before describing the progress
which has been made during the past
few years, some reference to the his
tory Of the undertaking is essential.
Indeed, 1t is safe to say that no enter
prise has caused European statesmen
so much anxiety as the Bagdad pro-
ject. Here il should be explained that
the railway is being built by the Ger
mans, with German material. and by
German engineers on Turkish terri
tory. with the full sanction and APP
proval OF the Ottoman government
The money to carry on the work has
been advanced by German banks up
on guarantees being given by the
Turkish government. So far about
6 10,000,000 has been sunk in the en-
terprise; but ii is clear that another
C 10,000,000 will be needed to carry
the rails into Bagdad, which, if the
present rate of progress is main
tanned. should be reached within the
next three years.
