ENGLISH SPEAKING GER
MANS ARE USED IN
SCHOOLS

BERLIN, May 25.-To provide en-
ployment for Germans possessing a
knowledge of French and English, who
fed to Germany at the outbreak of the
war, the minister of education has
empowered the authorities Of higher
schools and colleges to employ them
as instructors of language without
many of the usual formalities.
Educated women similarly in need
of employment can be taken into the
middle and lower classes of boys
schools, and may receive permission
TO teach privately without the usual
credentials. Men viii be required only
to furnish evidence of suitable char
acter, not of teaching ability. An in
creasing numbers of such men are
taking the places Of regular teachers
called to the front as part of the
"landsturm." The new rules apply
until the end of the war.

SOLID WALLS WON'T
HIDE SECRETS FROM
MARCONI INVENTION
DEVICE NOW so PERFECTED THAT
WOODEN WALLS ARE NO BAR
RIERS.

NEW YORW, May 25.-William Mar
conf, inventor of the wireless tele-
egraph, made it known today before
sailing for Italy, says the Evening
World, that he has invented an appa-
ratus by means of which it is possible
for a person standing beside solid
partition, such as a brick wall, to look
through it and observe what is hap
pening on the other side, just as if
there were no obstacle interposed to
the vision.
Mr.. Marconi is quoted as saying that
the device has been perfected to the
point where persons in a room can see
others in an adjoining room, looking
through the wall, if the persons viewed
are close to the wall, but that at dis
tance from the wall they become blur
red. Possibilities for evil involved in
the apparatus, it is asserted, have made
Mr.. Marconi reluctant to make known
his invention.

IT was Christmas Eve, or rather,
early Christmas morning. The
household was deep in slumber.
= Even the Little Lad for whom the
tree had been trimmed and the stock
ing hung was at last far away in the
Land of Nod, after hours and hours
of restless tossing about and listening
for the jingle of Santa Claus sleigh
bells, on the roof. A silence, deep
and mysterious, had settled upon the
home.
In the library, the very last of the
embers in the big fireplace were dying
out. From the mantel above the
chimney hung the boys stocking, fat
and bullying. with a great round
orange in the toe. Old Santa had
already been there. Over in the cor
ner stood the Christmas tree. all dec
GRATED and with small red and green
and yellow and white candles in their
little tin holders standing straight up
on the branches like soldiers on pa
rade.
Presently there came a rustling on
one of the branches and tiny pure
white candle began to tremble vio-
lently. Then. ever SO slowly, it began
to glow at the end and a tiny flame
appeared. Gradually, as one turns up
q lamp, but much more slowly and
steadily, the flame became brighter
and brighter. Soon it was burning
merrily
And then-a wonderful thing hap
pened. Out of the top of the flame
rose asshining golden head, followed
by the shoulders. wings and arms of
rs dainty little fairy as ever lived.
AS she emerged from the flame, it
died down, lower and lower, until
presently it was simply cushion to
support her tiny toes.
"Ho! Merry Christmas." cried the
little lady in voice as soft and sweet,
rs the chime of Christmas bells. "Ho,l
Merry Christmas!"
A great rustling of the tree and a
stirring among the Christmas pres
ents greeted her CALL
"Behold!" she trilled in her silver
sweet voice. Behold! I am the
