Wireless Telephones.

Several German coal mines are
equipped with wireless telephone sys-
TENS, and Yorkshire, England, mine
has recently been similarly equipped.
Each instrument is connected by two
wires, either with water pipes or iron
rails, or with piece of metal buried
in the ground. In the Yorkshire mine,
the instruments are both fixed and
portable; the two fixed instruments
are situated, one in the transformer
house near the pit bottom, and the
other over half mile away. 1t is pos
sible to talk between the two stations
as easily as If the telephones were con-
nected by wire. The portable instru-
ments, which weigh about 20 pounds
apiece, are carried by the miners to
the points where active work is going
on. BY means of them the miners can
communicate with the fixed stations
from any part of the mine. Moreover,
they will enable men overtaken by dis
aster to summon help from other parts
Of the mine and to direct the rescuers

A Gigantic Neptune.

At Monterosso, near Spezia, Italy,
there Is an architectural curiosity-a
gigantic figure of Neptune constructed
of cement and used to support the ex-
treme end of terrace for a seaside
villa. The house is the Villa Pastine,
and the statue is the work of Signor
Arrige Minerbi, talented sculptor of
Rome. The small promontory on
which the villa is built presented
many difficulties to the architect, but
he finally succeeded in building there
a very commodious and comfortable
residence. The statue, which is won
derfully lifelike, is II meters in height.
The body, which, like the head, is
built of reinforced cement. is hollow,
and contains spiral staircase. Con-
sidering the nature of the material
with which Signor Minerbi had to
work, he is to be congratulated on the
result Of his labors.-Wide World

Suicides In Cars Army.

The Razvedchik, the semi-official or
gan of the Russian army, publishes
some startling figures about the ex-
tent of the suicide mania among Rus
sian troops, quoting a report recently
presented to a Moscow learned society
by well-known military surgeon, Doc
tor Prozoroff.
1t appears that in 1905 no fewer
than IA cases of suicide occurred in
the Russian army. In the following
year the number rose to 1872. Since
then it steadily kept on growing, be-
ing 210 in 1907, 242 in 1908, 263 in
1909, 268 in 1910, BAT in 1911 and 4C5
in 1912. Within seven years, there
fore, the number of suicides increased
about one hundred and fifty per cent
The figures for 1913 have not yet been
published, but, according to Doctor
Prozoroff, the first eight months OF
last year showed 377 cases of suicide
and 1879 cases of attempts at suicide
and for 1914 the high mark continues
Out of the 377 cases just mentioned II
occurred among officers.

SPOILED BY LIFE IN EAST
veyors Miss Native Servants
When They Return Home.

One Of the members of the staff of
army engineers who has Just been re-.
lieved from duty on the Panama canal
called attention the other day 20 an
aspect of life on the isthmus which
has received little attention In this
country.
II was born in the South" he said,
"and | can just remember the perfect
servants that my father had when |
was boy. | was too young to remem-
Der much about the conditions that
prevailed on the big plantations be-
fore the conflict, but though my par
ents and most of their neighbors
were ruined by 1t and had to curtail
their establishments. the negroes who

ton of ante-bellum days for many
years after the war.

me to the isthmus. A Jamaica negro

depths of domestic contentment that

THAT man, | am certain, stayed
awake nights to think up little atten-
tions with which to surprise me.

the canal SO hot and tired that Christy
did not succeed after q few minutes
In nursing me into good humor.
The amazing thing about him, as
about all good servants, was the per-
feet tact he displayed. His knowl-
edge of my moods was almost uncan-
ny, and seemingly he took delight
In anticipating the vagaries of my
temper. Sometimes | thought he re-
garded 1t as sort of game in which
he matched his powers of pleasing
against my bad disposition.
"Old naval officers tell of man

patton of good times. At last q letter
gave the date of his arrival. The
newspapers reported that his ship had
made port. but the expatriate didn't
turn up to greet his expectant friends
Instead one of his acquaintance got

How Do You Talk?

Are you in the habit of making
many gestures when you talk? An
Italian Psychologist maintains that as
an orators gestures are involuntary,
they afford a test of his sincerity. For
instance, If the speaker plays with his
watch chain, he Is on his guard, and
his utterances are not entirely frank.
Should he sway his body from side to
side, it is sign of versatility and OF
an active mind; while a constant repe,
tition Of the same gesture is held to
Indicate that his heart is In the sub
ject and that he is sincere.

ORDER OF "S0NS OF REST"
Possibility That English Writer Has
Drawn Upon His Imagination In
the Following.

It is an age of societies and unions,
all of which are supposed to exist for
the betterment of those who join; but
1t comes as shock to learn that the
tramping fraternity have organized a
union. We gather this from a card
which was found by the police in the
pocket OF a workshy wayfarer, and
which purported to give the rules of
1.-THE Ancient and Grand Order Of
the Unwashed Sons of Rest and
General Layabouts," the president
being Lord Neverwork, the secretary
Tired Tim, and the vice-president
Dusty Rhodes. The rules include:
That this society be called 1.-THE
Ancient and Grand Order of the I'm
washed Sons of Rest and General
Layabouts." The password will be
"Anti-Sunlight."
Any brother talking about work
will be fined 3D., or in default COM
PEELED to pawn his shirt (if any,.
Any brother who wilfully contracts
any illness through watching other
people work will not receive any
benefits from this society, and should
he have the misfortune to get a job his
hours will be lin accordance with this
society's rules): Start work at 70,
one hour for dinner and knock off at
one.
| All brothers have the right of sleep
ing on haystacks, doorsteps, park
seats etc, but thew are strictly for

Anyone is eligible to join this society
who has been out of work since birth
and has not had wash since.

or any other modern invention for
fastening his coat or holding up his
unmentionables in preference to

There are grounds for believing that
