CARRY WIRELESS IN POCKET
Utility Brlnss Absolutely Correct
Time in Reach Of All.

When the time signal is flashed
nom the Eiffel tower, in Paris, the cit
ken, wherever he may live in France,
can take out his wireless receiver and
set his watch by absolutely correct
time. The value of the French "ondo-
phone" detector for receiving wireless
signals lies In its very small size and
compact makeup. The whole affair
can be carried in the vest pocket. At
90 miles from Paris all that is needed
u an open umbrella held as high aa
the arm can reach, while a small
metal contact piece attached to cord
lies upon the ground and makes the
earth connection. At so miles one
plants knife In a tree, preferably a
pine tree, or gimlet will answer as
well. One OF the cords with its metal
clip is Joined to this "antenna," while
the other clip Is placed on the ground.
The entire receiver weighs but IS
ounces and yet, In spite of its small
size, 1t is carefully made and is an ap-
paratus of great precision. For long
distances, to the extreme borders of
France, for instance, and even farther.
one clip Is joined to a telephone line,
which serves as an antenna, and the
other goes to gas or water pipes for
the ground. But within 120 miles all
that is needed for the antenna Is
kitchen stove or range, balcony, metal
bed and the like.
The operator may use his body for
the ground by attaching the metal clip
to his finger, while the other clip goes
to the telephone wire. In this way sig.
nails were received from Paris at dis
lance Of 270 miles.

VOYAGER NATIVE OF CORSICA7
Paris Newspaper Claims to Have Proof
That Columbus Was Born In
That Island.

The Eclair of Paris states that it
has received a number of documents
tending to prove the Corsican origin
Of Columbus.
In the first place, 1t was only in
1874 that the well-known statue of the
discoverer of America was erected in
Genoa, whereas since 1880 there has
been abundant evidence relating to
the Colombo family at Calvi, including
numerous notarial acts and deeds.
A street there, called Colombo, for
merly was named Del Flo, and it is
historical fact that Columbus father

To explain his detestation of the
population Of Calvi the celebrated Cor
sican leader Paoli always used to say
that it was because he had abandoned
his respect for Columbus, and the
Able Casanova declares that he fears
no contradiction when he says that
Napoleon, like Paoli, knew perfectly
well the origin of Columbus.

Corsicans, habitually used the expires.

NOT THE SAME SWEET ALICE
Probably Ben Bolt Would Find II Hard
to Recognize His Sweetheart
In Modern Maid.

Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice,
Ben Bolt, when her hair was a beau
tiful brown? You never in the world
would know her as she looks today
with a cane and a trouserette gown.
Her Paris-made curls are the new pur-
pie tint; when l called l could scarce
trust my eyes, for she wore a little
nightcap, the fastest Paris hint, with
rosebuds and pink ribbon ties.
Sweet Alice is now on the stage,
Ben Bolt; she began at the end of the
row. She smiled with delight at the
public each night, and now she's the
hit of the show. She dances tango
that sets them a-whirl, with dip and
q kick and a glide. You'd never be-
lieve twas the same little girl that the
song wrongly stated had died.
She's cigarette case on the end of
a chain, where the old fashioned one
wore fan; has fat and maid and
Pomeranian pup; her motor is olive
and tan. And down at the theater
place where she plays, her pictures
are hung by the score, and they've
fitted slab with about a thousand
electric lights and sweet Alices name
up over the door.-Kate Masterson, in

that egg then is to eat 1t. 1t sounds
funny, but the moment you give an

"A good, healthy hen-not speaking
of any particular star breed, but just

she has accomplished 600 eggs-50

up the hen to do in the way of just

years to do it in.
THE hen divides the 80 dozen stunt
up among those eight years. Some

WHEN THE EYES NEED AID
Natures Methods Of Warning Are
Many and They Should Not Be
Long Disregarded.

Symptoms of eye strain are pain In
the temple, pain in the back Of the
head and neck, red eyelids and in
ability to see at a great distance or
to read long at time. The eyes be-
come tired and vision blurred; there
Is strabismus or cast in the eye and
tendency to avoid light. The eyes are
partly closed; there are twitchings of
the lids, sick headache and dizziness.
1t brings on neuralgia and headache
that medicines fail to cure.
Nearly every condition recited
above, if brought about by defective
vision or an abnormal state of the
ocular muscles, can be relieved by
glasses. says a writer in the Family
Doctor" The fitting of glasses is, at
times. q very difficult task, and should
be entrusted only to one who thor.
oughly understands the different de-
fects and diseases of the eye, and is
skilful with the appliances used for
the scientific selection Of proper
lenses.

Pine Pillows.

Genuine pine pillows" is the legend
which appears in more than one drug
store window-over pile of spruce
tips. The sign makes a country boy
smile, but he Ia quite aware that the
great majority of city people do not
know the difference between a pine
tree and a spruce or fir or henlock
tree; all coniferous trees are pines"
to them-even tamaracks.
In the matter of perfume there is
not much choice between a pine and
Z spruce, but fir pillow Is more
pleasantly aromatic than one either
of pine or spruce. Pine tips or leaves
are seldom used for pillows. The hem
lock makes a good pillow, but 1t is
better to use the boughs of it, quite
green, for a whole bed; break them
small, spread them out good and thick
and put your blanket right on top OF
them. To make use of this kind of =
bed, however, you must be In thu
woods.
Tima was when the lumberjacks
slept on beds of hemlock boughs-and
they were healthier and happier than
they are now in stuffy hunks.

Fruits In England.

By far the greatest achievement OF
Cardinal Wolsey was combining straw
berries and cream. A world benefac-
tor, his failings may well be forgotten
and forgiven!
How long have Britishers been, at
least, partial fruitarians? Apples,
pears, gooseberries and plums appear
to have been grown in England for a
very long time, but cultivated rasp
berries did not arrive until the six.
teenth century.
Rhubarb was introduced from Rus.
STA in 1873, but did not become pop.
ular until the nineteenth century. II
is recorded that Deptford gardener
in 1910 sent few sticks to the Lon.
don market, but was unable to find a
customer.
Cherries were brought over by the
Romans, but ceased to be cultivated
until one Of Henry Wis gardeners re-
introduced them.

Scotch Not to Blame.

The harp was the Highlander's in
strument before the bagpipe. That
point was insisted upon by Scotch
man Of fifty years ago, the lord ad-
vocate Of the time, who was anxious
to disclaim his country's responsible
ity for the bagpipes, and to show that
they were English, essentially Eng
lish." He appealed to Shakespeare,
who often mentions the pipes, but not
once in Macbeth" his only Scottish
drama; it is in Lincolnshire and York
shire that he Localities the instrument.
James Tvs accounts contain an item
for "Inglis pyparis." while our Edward
I had his court pipers, and from his
time on to Elizabeth's mention of such
officials constantly recurs. Most Eng.
lishmen are thankful to have given
the pipes safe conduct across the Dor
der-London Chronicle.

FOR THE WIFE'S PROTECTION
French Laws Make Drawing Up Of
Ante-Nuptial Contract Matter
Of Highest Importance.

II an American girl marries
Frenchman, or vice versa, and they go
to live in France, let there always be
an ante-nuptial contract. But let 1t
be remembered that if no contract has
been signed the consorts, after they
have returned to France, will find
themselves under the community
regime. Every married couple is sup
posed to make marriage contract In
France, and if they have not done so
the law gives them contract, which
is the legal community, Case and Com
ment says.
The legal community may be likened
to partnership, but partnership of
a special kind, in which the husband
is the sole manager and absolute mas
ter, and the wife has no voice in the
management. Consequently the hus-
band may dispose of all community
property without any hinderance. By
community property you must under
stand all personal property belonging
to the spouses before and after the
marriage. The husband has full and
untrammeled right to cash and squan-
der all interest and dividends, to draw
checks against the community funds,
to incumber or sell at pleasure all real
estate belonging to the community.
He is the lord and master.
Now, let US take it for granted that
the French husband is sterling char
acter, that he is possessed of high
business ability. But he may be I'M
successful in the management of the
community. He may have debts, and
still be the best man on earth. Pre-
cisely in the case Of debts or unsuc-
cessful management, and because
there Is no fraud, the creditors of the
community will have the right to at
tach the community property, even if
it belongs exclusively to the wife, thus
leaving her penniless.
Enough has been said, we believe, to
demonstrate that it is wise precau-
ton to carefully draw an ante-nuptial
contract, infinitely describing and re-
citing what property belongs to the
wife, and it is not to be included in
the regime of the community.

sifflnu the Rathtub.

1t comes as a shock to the innumer-
able hosts who believe that ''cleanli-
ness Is akin to goodness" when, as is
now the case, a health reformer de-
clares that the bathtub is insanitary.
1t was bad enough when the public
drinking cup, the public towel, and
other things of common usage were
put under ban, but the attack on
that sacred institution, the bathtub, is
the most outrageous of all the out
RACES that have been perpetrated by
the health faddists. II it had hap
pened in England, where the lord ard
master of the household would sooner
do without his breakfast than his
every morning tub" there would be
an outbreak as desperate as those in
which the militant suffragettes figure,
but as 1t is an American who makes
the attack, his countrymen vent their
fury in hurting epithets and jeers at
him.

RULE THAT HAS EXCEPTIONS
Stone as Experts Have Agreed
1t Should Be.

In modern masonry it is, generally
speaking, the rule that stone used in
building should be SO placed that it
will be as it lay in its natural bed
when quarried. This rule is not, how
ever, always to be depended upon and
in many cases needs to be supplement-
cd with other precautions.
There are three planes of fracture
known to quarrymene The rift" is
the direction in which the stone splits
most easily; the grain" that which is
next easiest; the head that which Of
fers greatest resistance. In paving
block the two sides represent the rift
fracture, the top and bottom the grain,
and ends the head. But in a quarry
the natural bed is sometimes consider
ably inclined to the plane of the rift;
hence the imperfection of the ordinary
rule for placing stone in building

Monastery at Disentis.

The Alpine monastery of Disentis
was founded by an Irishman. But
British mountaineers know 1t chiefly
as the home of Father Placidus a
Speacha, an eighteenth century pion-
Ger at climbing, whose great ambition
was to ascend the highest local peak.
the Todi .(11,SS7 feet). His brother
monks suspected him as an atheist be-
cause of his scientific tastes, as a
French spy because of his climbs and
maps. When the invading French de-
manded 100000 francs from them and
Placidus secured a reduction Of 10000
they held his Jacobinism proved. The
French burned the monastery, and his
MSS. persisted. The Austrians impris-
,oned him. Finally, aged seventy-two
and no longer able to climb SO high
himself, he wistfully watched the
chamois hunters conquer the Todi for
him.

Butter BY the Yard.

In Cambridge, England, butter is
sold by the yard, not by the pound
The dairymen of that town have for
many years rolled their butter into
lengths, a length being a yard and
weighing one pound. Neatly wrapped
In strips of clean white cloth, the
cylindrical rolls Of butter are packed
in long, narrow baskets made for the
purpose and SO taken to market. The
Cambridge butter dealers have, there
fore, no need Of weights or scales for
determining the quantity of their
wares. Constant practice and an ex-
perienced eye enable them with a
stroke of the knife to divide the but
ter into halves or quarters with almost
mathematical precision.
This yard-long butter finds its chief
purchasers among the people of the
university. 1t appears that this but
ter is peculiarly adapted to the spe-
cial needs of the students in the daily
commons Cut into conveniently sized
pieces and accompanied by a loaf of
wheaton bread, stated portion is sent
every morning to the rooms of the un-
dergraduates for use at breakfast
and tea.

WATCH SHOULDERS OF CHILD
Life the Condition Is Hard to
Remedy Later.

The general appearance Of one at
ficted with round shoulders and fiat
chest is quite familiar to the observer.
The head projects forward, the shout
ders droop and the chest Is narrow
and fat. The shoulder blades stick
out prominently and the abdomen pro-
trudes. Children with round shout
in muscular development and lack
vigor, are clumsy In their movements,
and walk heavily.
There are three kinds of round
shoulders, the ordinary round back,
the round hollow back and the round
back due to forward displacement Of
the shoulders. During the years Of
growth, posture will usually take care
Of itself, If constant changes are al
lowed Change is instructive and auto
matte in the child and the varied activ-
tiles are sufficient to lead 1t along nor
NAL lines. If, from inherent weakness
or the confinement of school life with
out the relief Of games and play, this
normal development be hindered, the
result will soon show in the spine.
The causes of round shoulders are
those general conditions which pro-
duce muscular or constitutional weak
ness, like rapid growth, overwork. bad
air In schools or the home, acute i'll
ness, unhygienic surroundings, or gen.
eral lack of exercise. 1t Is probable
that weakness of the will Is a more
important cause than weakness of
the muscles.

be outgrown, as the victims usually
become permanently and structurally
set in the faulty position, with fat
tened chest walls and distorted figure

How a Vampire Works.

The vampires Of New Guinea are
fairly large bats, and alight on any
projecting part of the body, in pref
erence the toes, into which they bite
a small hole, from which they pro-
coed to suck the blood. They fan the
wound with their wings-to deaden
the pain, the natives say-and the VIC
is done. These horrible creatures
suck as much blood as they can, fly
away and disgorge It, and then return
for more. l have several times, says

Mans First Wjnos.

The first effort to equip man with
wings that he might fly through the
air, says the American Boy, seems to
have been made by Watson E. Quin.
by, Delaware inventor, who patented
flying machine many years ago. The
inventor used the bat as the model tn
designing the wings. Previous flying
machines had been constructed, on the
balloon principle, but Quinby's appara-
tus consisted of wings IL feet in d.
ameter and semi-circular in form. The
wings were attached to the limbs of
the person flying, and the motions
used were very similar to those used
in swimming. The wings refused to
work, however, and no one ever suo.
ceeded in flying with their aid.
