NO GAY WIDOWS LIVE HERE

There are no gay widows IN Hada-

after the husband has died. In NADIA

position, on the day of the funeral the
wife is placed In the house dressed all
In her best clothes and wearing her
silver Ornamental. OF which In general
e'he possesses q considerable quantity.
There she remains until the Rest Of
the house have returned nom ~ r..

AS coon as her relatives return they
begin to revile her IN most abusive
language and tell her that II u her
fault that she has been stronger than
her husband and that she Ii really tho
cause Of his death They proceed to
tear the ornaments from her ears and
neck and arms and give her a cloth
and spoon with broken handle and
a dish with the foot broken or Her
hair is disheveled and she Is covered
with a coarse mat. under which she
remains all day long and can only
leave at night. And she may not speak
to anyone who goes into the house.
Neither is she allowed to wash her
face or hands. but onYy the tips Of
her fingers
All this the Madagascar widow en-
dures for year. or at least for eight
months. and even when this Il over
her time for mourning Is not ended
for a considerable period.
The last straw consists of the fact
that she Is not allowed to go home to
her own relations until she has been
first divorced by her husbands family.

Carmen sylvia, queen Of Roumania. 10
the latest to answer that ancient
question, What would you do II you
were a millionaire!" She would build
. vast cathedral with chapels in It
tor every religion. and abe would also
build an art school. Az It Is only .
very small minority Of people who
ever go to church or chapel. and those
Mat do go are usually Of the more
comfortable classes, it Is to be feared
that Carmen Sylva's million would not
go very far to lessen human misery.
Most people have asked themselves
what they would do II they were mil
lionaires, but the wiser among them
have contented themselves with say

board, 10 tho Idea.

An optical telegraph intended to Ill
the place Of the telephone for talking
with a deaf person has recently been
invented by q deaf and dumb married
couple of Berlin. Germany. 1t consists
essentially of a 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 letter of the
alphabet or 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 q receiver and these may
be in different rooms or In houses q
long distance apart.
The instrument can be conveniently
used for conversation between deaf
person and a normal person who Is ig-
ncrant of the finger language. The
silence with which the device Is oper-
ated Is q very important point In its
favor This feature might make it
especially useful where quiet or Sc
crecy In transmitting information Is
desirable. as In sending war news or
secret instructions in business houses.

WHITE WAYS NOT WELCOMED
Explorer Tells Of Dire Results of "civ-
nIzation" 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 60
years up to 1910 the Mackenzie river
Eskimos have been civilized, Chris
tianized and reduced by white mems
diseases from over 1900 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
q 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 III, but they were also insufficient
ly clothed and insufaciently fed. There
was in 1911 probably not 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 . man who had even one
good suit was hard to find. Mort Of
them are 30 poorly clad that they
are unable to hunt seal in winter
through being insuficiently protected
from the cold.
This insuficiency Of clothing is the
result Of two things: First. the m-
PRODUCTION of rifles has destroyed the
caribou upon which they depended for
clothing. and, secondly. the multiplica-
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"
