uopicked Grapes Go to the Poor.

A curious old law, which dates from
177s, has been used to sentence the
owner Of a vineyard at CapestanS,
near Beziers, France. to a fine ana
costs for picking her own grapes. she
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines In her vineyard after
the fall gathering, when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
ofrense against the law, as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property of the poor. the
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion, and the woman was
convicted.

telephone" FOR THE DEAF
Letters and Numbers to Be Flashed
on Buttons by an Electric Key
board, 10 the Idea.

An optical telegraph intended to fill
the place of the telephone for talking
with a deaf person has recently been
invented by a deaf and dumb married
couple Of Berlin, Germany. It consists
essentially of keyboard, as In type
writer. through whose keys single cleo
trio currents pass. In each circuit Is
included an incandescent lamp with a
fiat surface, bearing a letter Of the
alphabet or a Roman numeral. Press
ing any key causes the corresponding
lamp to glow. Thus words and SEN
fences are spelled out and numbers are
formed.
The keyboard can be operated as fast
as that of an ordinary typewriter, SO
that with practice communication be-
comes very smooth and rapid. Each
station, OF course, must contain both a
sender and a receiver and these may
be In different rooms or In houses a
long distance apart.
The instrument can be conveniently
used 70. conversation between deaf
person and a normal person who Ia ig-
norant OF the finger language. The
silence with which the device is oper-
ated is a very important point in Its
favor. This feature might make 1t
especially useful where quiet or Sc
crecy in transmitting information is
desirable, as in sending war news or
secret instructions in business houses.

SQUAD Farming a Poor Venture.

Of losing an investment.
Widely advertised In the east, and
to a certain extent In other sections
of the country. 1t has attracted a great
many people by its limitless POSSIBLE
tiles on paper. They have invested
money In breeding stock" houses and
pens. Most of that money Is still in
vested, but q wide acquaintance with
poultry men and conditions all over
this country has failed to bring the
writer In touch with a single squad
farmer who has made financial sue
cess of 1t, and the poultry papers do
not write about them, which Is pref
ty sure sign that this business has not
been followed successfully up to this

It is too bad, too, because 1t is such
fine way to make living, on paper.
You see the pigeons mate in pairs and
stay mated for life. They raise two
squads, as the young ones are called,
every month, the cock and the hen
taking turns in setting on the eggs.
This makes twenty-four squads to mar

pen 10 feet by 20 feet with 100 feet of

one man can look after not less than
10 pens, We easily determine that our
yearly income will amount to $3.50.
That Is the kind of figuring that
leads one to invest In the breeders
breeding stock at $3.50 a pair. II
Is sufficient to say that instead of get
ting twelve pairs of squads from each
pair Of pigeons. you will be lucky to
get an average Of four pairs, In large
numbers. They could not bring In
over 81. leaving a margin Of $3.50 a
year from each pair Of breeding
pigeons, or $1,000 gross profit from
500 pairs of breeders.
The cost Of suitable house for
these pigeons will not be less than
$3.50 and the breeding stock will
cost as much more. Interest, deprecia-
ton, non-productive stock, parasites
and diseases will all cut into the gross
profits and the squads will bring in
closer to rs cents pair than so
cents, unless they are extra fine.
We have had eighty-three adult
pigeons killed In one night by rats.
This loss involves the loss of thirty
six squads and over forty eggs, as
their parents were either killed or
their matings broken up
The squad farm is all right when
confined to small flock, and pigeons
are lots Of fun for the boys, but it Ia
a poor financial venture on a large
scale. Let it stay on paper, where It
thrives best.

WHITE WAYS NOT WELCOMED
Explorer Tells Of Dire Results Of "clv-
illxatlon" Among the Eskimos
That He Has Known.


Cold figures and facts presented by
Vilhajalmar Stefansson show why. he
wishes to protect his blond Eski-
mos" from contact with the whites.
He says In the Geographical Magazine
that according to records in the so
years up to 1910 the Mackenzie river
Eskimos have been civilized, Chris
tianized and reduced by white mems
diseases from over 1000 to less than
40 In 1911 there were at Cape
Bathurst about 40 civilized Eskimos,
partly Mackenzie river people and
partly emigrants, and out of that 40
a good 20 were seriously i'll, two Of
them permanently insane. while in an
uncivilized group (Which from the
very beginning has been isolated
from white men) we found only one
sick, an old man who had been blind
for something like eight years.
And not only were many Of the
civilized Mackenzie people chronical-
ly Ill, but they were also insufficient
ly clothed and insufficiently fed. There
was in 1911 probably not a single in
dividual in the Prince Albert sound
group who did not have at least two
complete suits Of warm skin clothing
and many had several suits, while
among the civilized Eskimos Of the
Mackenzie at any time between 1908
and 1912 a man who had even one
good suit was hard to find. Most Of
them are so poorly clad that they
are unable to hunt seal in winter
through being insufficiently protected
from the cold.
This insufficiency of clothing is the
result of two things: First, the in
PRODUCTION of rifles has destroyed the
caribou upon which they depended for
clothing, and, secondly, the multiplied
ton, Of new wants, such as the desire
for tea, tobacco, sugar and ammuni-
ton, forces them to barter for these
expensive Injuries the skins which
they might otherwise have used to
dress in for the cold.'

1Wheel1 Barometer.

What Is known as the wheel baro-
meter is an ingenious variation OF
Torricelli's idea. This barometer was
invented by Robert Hooke, probably
the greatest philosophical mechanic"
of his day. 1t is intended to indicate
the weather without observing the
mercury itself. There is the usual
tube, but 1t Is bent at the bottom into
a short leg. In this leg little glass
float rests upon the surface of the mer-
curry. A cord attached to the float
passes over the pulley. The pulley Is
furnished with pointer that moves
around the dial, the moving agency be-
ing the rising or falling mercury,
which lifts or lowers the float.
