Lip READING Detectives.

In a Vienna school for the deaf and
dumb, where lip reading is taught, a
course has been established for the spe-
cial purpose Of teaching the art to de-
tectives. The possibilities Of lip read
ing, says the author of the account in
the Volta Review, have been exagger-
ated. But they are sufficient to cause
authorities to think the instruction Of
detectives worth while. When de-
tective becomes proficient, he is able
to learn something of the conversation
between people who are visible, but out
of earshot. The article says that at
from so to 100 feet it is possible for an
expert to get the general run Of con-
yersation. Some reading has been done
with glasses at a distance of 125 feet
Instruction and practice in the art
must be very thorough if the detective
is to use 1t to real advantage in his
work.

JULIUS h. BLOCK is DEAD
State Treasurer From January 1908
to January 1907, Succumbs to
Bright's Disease

Duluth, Sept. 26.-Julius HI. Block,
former state treasurer died of Brights
disease at st. Mary's hospital here
this morning.
Mr.. Block is survived by his widow,
sister and two brothers, Robert and
Arthur B.
Mr.. Block was born at Gallon, O.,
March 80, 1860. He came to Mime
sofa with his parents in 1870, settling
in LeSueur county. He afterwards
removed to Nicollet county and his
political career began with his cleo
ton as sheriff of Nicollet county. He
was elected state treasurer on the Re
publican ticket in 1902 and 1904. His
term of service as treasurer was from
January, 1908, to January, 1907.
Following his retirement from state
office Block engaged in business. His
last entrance into politics was as a
candidate in 1914 for the Republican
nomination for auditor against j. A
o. Preus and Henry Rines. Without
an organization and without any cam
paign funds worth mentioning he pol
led more than 10000 votes.

Mistakes In Use of Words.

If use can make authority in the en-
ployment of words it is high time that
certain etymologically misused phrases
of our English tongue should be adopt
ed into the family of orthodoxy. The
word necessity is habitually used as
the equivalent Of necessary" instead
of being its direct opposite. A man
says: Il do not care for the Injuries of
life if have the necessities" when
probably he has the necessities" in
clamorous abundance. Quite as com
mon a blunder is the confusion be,
tween the words expect and "sus-
pect." A man says: There is a knock
at the door. l expect that is the tax
collector" He should say, 81 have been
expecting the tax collector and suspect
that is he."-BostOn Transcript

LIGHTNING RODS.
Why They End In Sharp Point and
Not In q Knob.

Not In Knob.
The reason a lightning rod has a
sharp point Is because a fine point Of
fers no resistance to the discharge of
electricity and in order that cloud
may be emptied of it noiselessly and
harmlessly.
The degree Of resistance is in proper
ton to the surface of the object. If
the rod were surmounted by a knob,
for instance, the discharge would be
violent. But many lightning rod has
received an electrical discharge when
the people in the building below were
calmly unconscious of the fact. Non
corrosive metal is used for the point of
the rod, as corrosion makes resistance.
The difference between point and a
ball is shown in discharging battery.
The full charge from a large battery
would be received quietly on metal
point, while moderate charge from a
small one would explode violently on a
ball.
1t is said that full charge may be
passed harmlessly through a persons
body if received on the point of nee
die, whereas the same charge received
on discharger with ball or knob on
the end would mean instant death

TRAPPED A sEAGULL.
Queer Contest of Strength Between a
Bird and a BivaIve.

Queer Contest Of Strength Between a
Bird and 6ivaIve.
At first thought it is hard to imagine
how clam could endanger the life of
a bird. That such strange circum,
stance is not impossible is shown by
the following incident:
A settler on one of the small islands
near Vancouver was returning to his
home by way of beach of hard sand
when he beheld an unusually large
flock of seagulls gathered in compact
mass and beating with beaks and
wings upon the sand. Evidently they
were attacking some enemy. Over,
head dozens of gulls wheeled and
screamed in evident excitement.
The settler was almost upon the
fighting birds before they burst apart
and few, chattering, toward the clouds
One, however, lay Tapping upon the
ground, and the man saw that mon
ster clam held the CULTS beak in wise,
like grip. 1t was too heavy for the
bird to fly away with, and for all the
CULTS frantic struggles it could not
loosen the CLAIMS tenacious grip.
With his hunting knife the man
pried open the shells and freed the cap
tive. The gull was exhausted from its
desperate efforts and at first could only
stagger like a drunken sailor toward
the water. Finally, however, it few
away and soon returned in the van OF
a cloud of gulls come to inspect the en-,
envy that had trapped one of theil
tribe.-St. Andrews Beacon.

Transforming clothesline Posts.

A suburban resident grew tired of
the wooden clothesline posts in his
back yard. He incased them in chicken
wire netting and planted sprouts Of
honeysuckle around the posts. He then
nailed little bird house to the top of
each. In short time the honeysuckle
had completely covered the unsightly
posts and pair of bluebirds built a
nest in one of the houses. Many of
this mans neighbors took up the idea,
and honeysuckle vines and bird houses
now make the clothesline posts of his
locality pride to their owners.-House

lection that they have this winter. At
a showing of coats and wraps at the
Ritz, short time ago, these fur cloths
were used exclusively. There were
baby-lamb cloths, monkey skin, and
any number of Others bearing the
manufacturers trade names. These
materials are especially well suited to
evening wraps, and the more dressy
day coats. They are warm, light of
weight, richly colored, and generally
satisfactory.
These fabrics are attractive, too,
for trimmings, collars, cuffs, and trim
ming bands, on coats of other mater
ials. An African brown baby-cloth is
especially beautiful for the last men

A PAIR OF sHoEsTRINGs.
The Matter Of Length and How to Tie
a Bowknot That Will Hold.

The Matter of Length and How to Tie
a Bowl<not That Will Hold.
A shoestring is "six-fourths'' long
when one does not specify the length
required. .'Six-fourths Of what" Is
likely to be the question put by the
layman.
When a man buys new pair of
shoes the strings in them are just long
enough. When he buys the next pair
of shoestrings they are too long. The
strings that come with the shoes are
four-fourths long, the next pair will
be six-fourths unless the purchaser
asks for and can get four-fourths.
These lengths have to do with mems
high shoes. There Is not the same
trouble in the case of low shoes.
Some shoestrings will wear a long
time, but they will become brown. 9th
ers will not wear so long, but will
retain their original blackness. The
strong strings that turn brown are of
linen or very strong cotton. The 9th
ers are of mixed fibers that hold their
color.
Many people prefer the less durable
shoestring, not only because it holds
its color, but because being of less
hard fiber it stays tied better than
the other. A few of the millions of
shoestring wearers know how to tie a
bowknot that won't come united. The
method can be explained without dia-
gram.
Instead Of tucking the bow once
over before drawing the knot tight,
tuck it twice over. A fiddle string used
for a shoestring would not come un-
tied if the knot were made in that
way. This knot can be united in the
same way as the other, by pulling at
the ends.-Philadelph Record.

Where Once the Ancient Romans Ruled

1t is not generally realized that dur

The fall Of Carthage in LAG B. C.

to see that the Phoenician city was not
rebuilt. Ere long they themselves,
however, reoccupied the site and built
on 1t city that became the third in
the empire.
The gradual extension of their rule
was forced on the somewhat unwilling
Romans. To protect their settlement
against the predatory Phoenicians,
Libyans. and Berbers they found 1t
necessary to push their conquests along
the littoral to the west and the south,

able pockets concealed in his volu-

little Jade cup, or Tibetan coffee
pot, or gold copper and precious
stones, or perhaps a huge lump of
rough turquoise hewn to look like a
couch with tiny gold Buddha reclin-
ing on it.
Then comes the bargaining. in which
he and all his friends take part against

It can all be done by signs and
smiles and patience and in the long
run you will get some things well
worth having at very reasonable
price.
But you must have no false pride
about bargaining. 1t is an elementary
