Male Stenographers And Type
writers in Demand.

The United States Civil Ser
vice Commission announces
that while it has no difficulty in
securing sufficient female steno-
graphers and typewriters to meet
the needs of the departments at
Washington, the supply of male
eliglbles has not been equal to
the demand. Young men who
are at least 1S years of age who
are willing to accept the usual
entrance salaries, which are SS4O
and 5000 year, have excellent
opportunities for appointment.
While the entrance salaries are
low, advancement is reasonably
rapid to those merifing it. The
examinations, which any compe-
tent stenographer should be able
to pass, are held each month in
the year, except December, at
the principal cities of the United
States.

DO Not Pull Fodder.

MIR. S. P. Coker, of Hartsville
writing in the Progressive Far
mer, gives the following sensi
BILE advice about the time-honor
ed custom of pulling fodder:
The practice of fodder pullin.
which has been followed in the
South so long, and which is still
prevalent today on many farms
is a practice destined to decrease
the corn yields of any given
year and to lower the vitality ot
inc seed for the following year
twill not take much expert
mentlng on the part of any far
mer to prove to his entire salts
faction that fodder pulling does
not pay. [ know when you talk
OF not pulling fodder you touch
a tender spot with the majority
OF farmers, for many of them
believe it is the thing to do, but
let me urge every farmer TO fol-
low out the advice of our agri.
cultural papers, ''to think more
for himself" and experiment to
lind out whether or not a thing
pays, If he cannot be convinced
by the experience of others.
The results of our experiments
for the past four years show con-
clusively where fodder is pulled
when the bottom leaves begin to
turn, there is loss of at least "a
per cent in yield of corn. If pull
ed when three-fourths of the
leaves are dry, there is about 10
per cent decrease in yield.
AT first thought one might
think this "a per cent decrease
IN yield was the only loss from
fodder pulling but, the fact is,
this presents only part of the
loss since much of the loss comes
through the effect on the Weld
OF the next years crop. Seed
corn taken from a fodder pulled
I'D is much lower in vitality
.'--Seed corn --taksa--fror,-
eld properly matured and de- =
eloped, and consequently when
lch seed is planted a decrease
crop yields must necessarily
esult. Not only will the yield
e lowered but the quality of the
orn also, for anything which
ends to lower the yield will, in =
lost cases, cause more inferior 6
nd wasty corn.
Let me insist that every far
Ter grow more hay and stop
ulling fodder, but to those e
lrmers who still feel that they : :
lust pull fodder, let me say this;
ave at least two or three acres
your crop unpulled from
'hlch to select your seed corn =
'r the following year, so that
ou may keep up the quality of Z
our seed and not suffer the Sec !
nd loss which comes through
lanting inferior seed. :

The annihilation of space by
Ethe wonders of modern science

Fpy the latest scientific discovery.
What the telephone has done in
Eihe transmission of sound is now
tequalled by an invention for the
transmission of light by wire.
The new invention enables
Itne image of any object to be
transmitted and reproduced be-
tore the eyes of a spectator miles
away,Just as the telephone trans
mlts and reproduces the tones of
the voice.
Inc inventor, DR.. M. A. Low.
a London consulting engineer,
mas given a short description of
the apparatus and method of the
new wonder. The transmitter
is screen composed of cells of
selenlum, the electrical resis-
tance of which varies according
to the light that touches it. Over
this screen there passes a synch-
ronously running roller consist
Ing OF a number of pieces which
are alternating conductors and
insulators.
The roller is driven by a motor
OF 5000 revolutions a minute,
and the resulting variataions of
light are transmitted along an
ordinary conducting wire. The
receiver is made up of a series
OF cells operated by the passage
OF polarized light through thin
Stats of steel and at this receiver
the object which is before the
transmitter is reproduced as a
flickering image.
The process is described as q
klnematographic application of

The tones of the human voice

phony. The gradations of light
are far simpler than those of

to devise wireless means of
transmission. | will commit my
self to the prophecy that in so
years people will look back with
wonder at the days when it was
necessary to be at a persons side
IN order to see him. When this
day arrives consider how it will
change the conditions of war
fare. Imagine the altered meth
DDS of military operations when
you can see what is happening

AT presentthe image reproudc-
ed is of the size which the eve of
a camera would take. 1t shows
variations of light and shade
somewhat in the degree of a
halftone block, but it does not
reproduce color.
DR.. Low is we'll known in Lon
don as a consulting engineer
and has engaged in laboratory
research for the government. A
number of inventions stand to
his credit, including the low
high pressure motor and a high
pressure petrol engine. The ex-
periments in connection with
light by wire have extended
over five years.
In the transmitting screen sell

OF the apparatus is considerable
as the conductive sections of the
roller are made of platinum.
