Movies In State Prisons.

State prisons are installing motion
picture machines. Among recent in
stallations of Powers cameragraPh
projecting machines was one in the
Auburn prison Of Auburn, N. Y. An
other Powers projecting machine has
been Installed in the Clinton prison
at Dannemora, and the prisoners look
with eager interest for Sunday, so they
can see what is going on in the outside
world. The pictures shown are of the
regular film releases, but the pictures
most liked are those showing current
events. At the same time it may be
noted that projecting machines have
been installed in the ST. James Meth
odist church of New York city and the
Church Of st. Rose of Lima Of Fiat

None loo Proud.

Secretary of War Garrison, apro
pos of the revival in navy and army
of vice admirals and lieutenant gen
erals, said at a luncheon in Washing
ton:
This is largely a matter Of diplo
matte etiquette, matter of elegance
Much goes by elegance nowadays

millionaire who had risen from a
plumbers apprentice to I don't know
how many bank presidencies and in
terlocking directorates:
"'Your women folks must be proud
of you, since you are self-made.'
"Yes,' he answered grimly. "Yes
they're about as proud Of me as they'd
be of homemade Dress"

Blind Girls Memory Feat.

One of the most wonderful blind
girls in London is Miss Mabel Green,
who lives in Gloucester road, Regent s
Park. Blind since birth, she is clev,
er shorthand writer and typist, but her
greatest gift Is her extraordinary mem.
ory.
An instance of her remarkable pow.
er was forthcoming the other day
when, returning home after hearing a
sermon by the Rev. F. B. Meyer, she
wrote out, without notes, the whole OF
the discourse in shorthand Every
Sunday it is her custom thus to report
the morning sermon, and her report
is always accurate and complete.

There were Sikhs, Singalese, Arabs,
Afghans, Bagdaddies. Burmese and
Jews. There were a few women, too,
with rings in their noses and fancy

Of stockings. It was rare assort-

once there was a noisy row, and the

Of the trouble, one man disappeared;
he fell overheard, his companions
said. OF to one side of the mass OF
men that Uttered, the deck I saw a
small band of Shia Musselmans bound
for the shrines near Bagdad. They
went through the movements Of their
prayers, kneeling and touching their
foreheads to the deck, over and over
again, and murmuring to themselves
in the chant. Everyone seemed to
have food and cookfng-pots; some car
ried a live sheep, coop Of chickens,
or q skin or dates. The Hindus got
their food ready off in one corner,
where it might not be "def1led" by
contact with unbelievers. All around

Barren, Dusty Town.
Two days out of Bombay-sailing
northward along the fat, malarial In
dian coast, past the Gulf of Clutch, we
anchored at Karachee, the most i'm
portant town in northwest India.
From here the railway takes OF to
distant Quetta, On the northwest
frontier; from here England flirts
with the Ameer of Afghanistan safe
in his forbidden retreat ut Kabul-or
keeps her ear to the ground to find
out what Russia is doing on the north
Karachee itself is a barren, dusty

head to tail, filed through the wide
streets bearing bales Of goods for

Seattle. Railroads and the export OF
grain have made it a city in few
years time.

b,oxtes Supply Much Labor.

Electricians and electrical engineers,
of course, builders, painters. carpen-
ters and their allies, upholsterers, car
pet makers, photographers, lens max
4rs, tin workers, costumers, printers,
process-block engravers, photographers
and musicians have all benefited by
moving pictures. Owing to the de-
mand for colored posters to exhibit
outside cinemas there is work for
practically every Hthographic artist
in the world. The dark side OF this
is the number of amusement caterers
touring actors, show people and SO
on-whose income has diminished
owing to the cinema's popularity.

Fatigue Museum.

Mr.. Frank B. Gilbreth, the well.
known efficiency engineer, has started
museum of devices for eliminating
fatigue in industry. The museum is
in Providence, R.. l. Among the ex-
hibits to be found in the museum are
factory stools and chairs of many
kinds adapted to many lines of work
for both men and women employees.
Ultimately the museum will contain
permanent exhibit of all kinds of
factory devices that affect the physi-
cal well-being Of the worker. 1t is
not limited to machine safeguards or

whale factory" on the Labrador
coast A single filthy steamer car
ries passengers up these bleak shores
beyond Battle Harbor, which Is the
first port of call after one has crossed
the Straits of Belle Isle and left New
fOundland behind.
Killed in the sea the monster
whales are towed to the factory and
there, If time for cutting up be in
opportune, the whale is pumped full
Of air and allowed to float out in the
bay until the men can find opportun-
ity to get at him. Then, by aid Of
windlass and cable, he Is slowly but
steadily drawn up the wide platform
to the station which runs with gentle
slope to the sea-
Many-Sided Subject.
The background to the scene pre-
sented at the whaling stations of New
foundland and Labrador is practically
the same for all. One has the harbor,
with the great islands Of pinkish
rocks and on the land behind, the
white-painted main building or whale
factory. Smaller buildings nestle be-
side this on the rocks. At one end
of the dock are the warehouses; be-
hind these a series Of vats flank each
side the dock
In these vats, if one visits at the
lucky moment, he finds boiling the
greenish mass which is what remains
Of the black hunks Of the whale meat
after continued boiling. Over the
watts there extends a bridge out over
the rocks to little coves, In whose wa
ter one sees the huge jaw bones of
whales slowly washed clean by the
tides.
Then in another bowl, or pocket,
formed by the rocks there lies, jum-
bled together, a mass of gills Of the
whale, consecutive series of slight
ly-curved black plates, each and all
edged with grayish-white bristles and
running out from heavy, bloody
bone-form. These are the gills that
permit the whale draining off water
when it engulfs bit Of sea thus leav-
Scattered over the granite rocks,
too, are the messy remains of the
whale. Cleaning a whale, however, is
a many-sided subject Once the great
mammal has been brought ON the
beach, the fat is removed and carried
off in buckets, mounted on an endless
chain. It's destination is the cutter
and in this the fat is cut into square
chunks, which, in turn, make their
way down to tanks, to be boiled for
perhaps a day. AS a result one has
the oil as clear as water and ready
to be put into casks and exported as
the whale oil of commerce.
What is left after the oil is taken
out, the "pitchings," so-called, is sent
away to be worked up into fertilizer.
This is done very largely at Savannah,
Ga. The bone, too, is boiled until per-
fectly clean, when it, in its turn, is
exported to Boston. The upper jaw
bone of fair-sized whale will aver
age five feet in length. The thick
black gills, too, must be cleaned and
cut up for sending away.
1t takes perhaps a day in all to cut
up whale, 20 men being employed.
One station, that at Hawks Harbor,
cut up 60 whales in one summer and
what this means may be surmised
when it is recalled that an average
whale will yield from 25 to 80 barrels.
A single sperm whale is on record
there as yielding 80 barrels.

Be0inninu of Oblivion.

1t is pleasant to learn that r. L.
Stevenson's grave in Samoa has not
been neglected. The German authori
ties, as it appears, remember his ge
MUS and take care Of his last abode
They will continue to do so for a
time, but ultimately Stevenson's grave
will be neglected and forgotten like
all others. Oblivion has her poppy
laid up for great names as for little
ones. When Cicero visited Archim

Circulation of the Blood.

The circulation Of the blood through
the lungs was known to Servetus, a
Spanish physician, in 1853. Cesal-
pinus published an account of the
general circulation, Of which he had
some confusing ideas, and his treatise
was later on added to by others in
1869. The great Sarpi Of Venice dis
covered the valves which serve for
the circulation; but there is no doubt
that the real honor of positive discov.
cry Of the circulation of the blood be-
longs to William Harvey, between
1859 and 1923. The ideas of the an
clients were too confused to be called
a discovery. or even a theory.

The next day a colored pastor
wrote to the editor making a Wig

that even colored people had feel

as white people. Truth publish
