WRITE STORIES
FOR MOVING
PICTURE PLAYS

Owing TO the large number Of
new motion picture theatres which
are being opened throughout the
country, there is offered to the
men and Women of to-day, a new
profession, namely, that of writing
moving picture plays. Producers
are paying from S25 to Sl5O for
each scenario accepted, upon
which they can build photo play
$500 in Six Months
As it only requires IA few hours
time to construct a complete play,
you can readily see the immense
possibilities in this work. One
man, who gave the idea a tryout,
writes that he earned $500 in six
months. 1t is possible for an in
telligent person to meet with
equal success.
One feature of the business
which should appeal to everyone,
is that the work may be done at
home in spare time. No literary
ability is required and women
Rave as great an opportunity as
men. Ideas for plots are constantly
turning up, and may be put in
scenario form and sold for good
price.

TORPEDoEs FOUND BY MAGNETS.

4 TUBE of radium worth a thousand pounds
was left overnight in q ward Of the Liver
pool Royal Infrmary.
In the morning it was gone, and the hos.
pltal authorizes were panic-stricken. The
patient upon whom the tube had been used
was X-rayed 10 see if he had swallowed it,
but it was soon clear that he had not.
The secretary suggested that it might have
fallen on the floor and been swept out with
the dust. But the dust was already ia the
dust-cart, which was just about to drive
away.
1t was stopped, and Professor Wherefore
was asked TO bring an electroseope from the
university. The electroacope is an instrument
which contains inside a glass flask two leaves
Of fine gold and these, if brought near to any
object capable Of electrifyiug them, at once
fly apart. As soon as it was brought near
to the cart it showed, beyond doubt, that
the radium was in the rubbish, and bucket
by bucket the stuff was removed and sorted.
The radium was found IN the twelfth bucket

IS a detective. Some years ago a metal tar
get. weighing nearly o ton, was left on the
beach at AldebuIgh. In the night came o
very high tide, and next morning the target
had vanished, covered by hundreds Of tons
Of single.
All attempts to discover it failed, until a
local schooimaster conceived the idea of
working with a prismatic compass, taking
hundreds Of readings, and drawing the lines
of magnetic force upon a squared sheet Of
paper.
He and his pupils worked for a couple of
hours and, at last, found indications Of a
magnetic disturbance si1ty-three fest away
from the targets original position. Men dug
and, four feet down, there was the missing
target.
A torpedo lost in practise off the Isle Of
Wight was discovered in somewhat similar
fashion after divers had hunted for it in vain.

ed which allowed the water to flow out from
the ram cylinders. thus relieving the pressure
and permitting the restraining triggers to.
fall back and release the ship, which was.
then free to slide down the sloping WAYS
under the influence of gravity. Hydraulic
rams had been provided at the bows to give
her an initial push had she failed to start Of
her own accord, but these were not brought
into requisition. Slowly the huge mass,
which by subsequent measurement of the
amount Of the water displaced was found TO,
weigh 24,800 tons, began to move, aud
slowly she continued ner majestic cour- IN
til, in 81 seconds, her bow dropped from the
ways and she was entirely water-borne. A
launch is always an impressive sight, but the
present one was even more impressive thmn
usual, because of the slowness with which
the ship travelled throughout. The maxi
mum speed was only 81 knots, whereas IN
the case Of tie Olympic, which had q launch
ing weight of 200 tons less. the maximum
speed was 124 kuots, and the time only 62
seconds.

them to come into coufict with the preacher

Any foreign employer who dislAisses a
peon is in danger from that moment, for the
discharged workman will nurse his griey-
ance, whether real or imaginary, and plot q
revenge which may be put into. effect several
months later, when suspicion is less likely
to fall upon him.
Wiped Out a Whole Force.
Accidents to the heads of departments
are frequent. Some time ago, in Valardenio,
al unpopular chief electrician was discovered
electrocuted inside his own power house.
The workmen had 'inadvertently" brought
a live wire carrying a high voltage into con-
tact with his neck. Again, in the same
district, an American a%nalyst, soon after
dismissing some of his workmen, was blown
to pieces whilst mixing some chemicals that
bad been tempered with.
The red haired Yakkn Indian is another
dangerous man, though be is found only
near the west coast. President G.. ?. Diaz,
the only man who has successfully governed
Mexico, once sent Il detachment OF troops
to subdue this tribe, with the result that the
the outlaws massacred his entire force and
returned their uniforms to the President.
Since that day a member OF this tribe is
shot Oh sight, and his body is hung on a
tree as a warning.
Curiously enough, mules can mel q
Yakkn Indian IN the distance, and immedi-
ately they detect one they viii stop or turn

body of one.
Amongst the Yakka Indians many meth

THE BRITANNIA,
Successful Launch At Belfast.

Principally at the appointed time the new
White Star liner Britannia was launched
from the yard Of Messrs. Harlond and Wolff
at Belfast this morning.
The launching of Il large ship is always an
anxious task for all concerned, and Lord
Pirrie, the chairman Of Messrs. Harland and
Wolff, was himself in the yard at 5 O'Clock
in the morning experimenting the final pre-
parations. These consisted in removing the
keel blocks SO as to permit the weight OF the
vessel to come gradually upon the sliding
ways. The launch was fixed for Ills, and
rockets announced the final stage 10 minutes
past the hour, when a loud noise Of hammer
ing arose, indicating that workmen were
knocking away the remaining keel blocks.
The whole weight of the vessel was then
carried on the sliding ways, which we're pre-
rented from moving down the fixed ways
only by a pair of steel triggers held in place
by hydraulic pressure. BY this time the
ship had already crept down over ga inch
towards the sea, and the guage showed that
the pressure which the rams attached to the
triggers had to sustain in order to prevent
further movement amounted to $50 tons.

MERRY, MURDEROUS MEXICO,
BY q Britisher Who Spent Some Years in
the West.

Foreigners of any nationality are seldom
popular in Mexico. The English and Amer
leans are cordially detested by the lower
classes, or poems, and the murder Of MIR.
w. S. Benton, the Scottish ranch owner,
will cause no surprise to those familiar with
the country.
The typical Mexican peon is a short, black
haired, unprecedented man, witt high
cheek bones of the American Indian type.
His principal industry is sleeping, and his
highest ambition is to gamble and make
love. He is a regular attendant at church,
but the only lesson he appears to take to
heart is, "Take no thought for Tomorrow
for he lives from hand to mouth.
His person is u~nclean, and with regard
to dress his chief concern is his hat, or
sombrero, and his blanket. This hat must
he ut least three feet in diameter. In win
ter his feet and legs may be bare, but his
head and shoulders are wrapped round and
round with a blanket, topped by his enor-
mous hat.
If he wears trousers they are tightly fitted,
and fastened dow the outside seam. He
is passionately fond Of music and dancing.
In connection with the latter pastime there
are certain customs which it is as we'll to
know.
A Bottle Hit Him in the Mouth.
II you desire to dance with a lady, it is
advisable to ask permission of her sweetheart
or mother. A friend of mine neglected this
precaution, with the result that as he left
The dancing hall he heard a scream, turned
suddenly to ascertain the cause, and received
a flying bottle full in the mouth, MS q result
of which he lost three teeth and a consideIa-
BILE quantity of blood.
The poems hut is a patchwork Of old tins,
scraps of corrugated iron, gunuy bags, and
any material he can obtain that will lend
itself to his purpose. Better-class houses
are built of adobe, or sun-baked brick, plas-
tered over with wet clay. His staple food
is ''tortilla,' a cake Of maize cooked on a
hot iron plate.

and Durango, human life is held cheap,

INSECTS AND DISEASE.
The Imperial Bureau Of Entomology.

----
Very quietly and very unostentatiousIy
the Imperial chronological Bureau, which
was started a few years ago under the aus
plces Of the Colonial Office, is now effectively
graphing with the various problems caused
by insects all over the Empire.
All his Maiesty's Domiuions beyond the
seas have come into line; even qnite small
Islands like the Seychelles and FIJI subscribe
for the purposes the Bureau has at hear;
Altogether the funds at the disposal OF the
executive officers now amount to- between
$4,000 and 96, 900.
The Bureau has in 1913 busted itself IN
collecting q complete set Of the laws and
regulations against injurious insects which
have been promulgated in the British Do
minions and Colonies. They will now be
correlated and summarized.
PANAMA CANAL AND YELLOW FEVER.
Those responsible tor the government of
India have been watching With anxious
eyes the opening of the Panama Canal. The
readjustment of trade routes which Will
inevitably ensue will defect q considerable
amount Of traffic from the yellow-fever
haunted American countries to the West Of
Asia, and should the yellow fever mosquito,
SteQOAYG fdSC'alt0, q WelI-knoWn freequen-
ter of ships, be bought with the detected
traffic, it is possible that IN outbreak Of
yellow fever might appear in India, a per-
fectly appalling outlook. 1t is believed that
yellow fever has already occurred in New
Caledonia There IS further a great want
of knowledge as to whether Siegom4 ia
8c"te}afis, a very widely distributed and
abundant species Of mosquito, especially in
Africa. carries yellow fever or not, and again
on this point the Bureau is making active
inquiries. Though the Foreign Office they
have been able to command the help of other
European countries Will Colonial posses
sions in the Far East, Holland, Germany,
France, are all helping. In Hong kong q
careful mosquito survey has already been
nearly completed.
The Bureau have further secured the
service of Mr., w. F. Fiske, one Of the most
capable American entomologists, to carry
ont at the expense of the Government Of
Nyasaland a thorough investigation into the
Economies of the Tsetse fly, Giossina morse
tans, which conveys Sleeping Sickness.
During the past year $4,000 specimens of
insects have been received by the Bureaus,
of which $4,000 were blood sucking insects,

MT. Ives has been making an active campaign for the place and it is said he has excellent chances of landing it. This will not be particu- Iar1y good news to some Republican workers.
 MT. Ives first had his eye on the place Of paymaster-g the in- cumbent of which ranks as colonel and gets paid for his services. The appointment to this place is usually made through the adjutant general and MT. Ives cfancesi Of getting this portfolio were not very good.

WILL BOXING BE
 DOOMED IN CALIFORNIA ]?
CFro1nl T. s, Andrewa.l

Will the boxing game be doomed in California? That is question that is agitating the minds of promoters on the coast since the election of last Tuesday. A vote was taken as to whether the people wanted to continue boxing under the present law, or oth- erwise. There seems to have been a joker" somewhere, for no one knows just what was meant by the wording in the measure voted on. It may re- suit in another vote being taken and if so, the followers of the game will probably wake up and take more inter- est in the same than they have done in the past. It only proves again that a national organization for the protec- ton of the boxing game is badly needed. Every league of sport or la bor union has an organization of some kind so they can fight those who are always trying to harm them, but in boxing the game Is permitted to wor- ry along the best it can There is no head to 1t, the same as there is in France and Australia, and it. behooves the promoters in this country to get
