Germs Hide for so Years,

A fatality which has strangely re-
peated itself after the passage OF "a
half century in Raymond Millers'
Fawn Grove house was attributed by
health authorities aud attending ply
sicians to diphtheria germs which had
lurked in the walls during the long
interval.
Fifty years ago diphtheria broke out
in family which previously owned
the property and caused several
deaths Shortly before the present
outbreaks Miller decided to have the
walls of the house papered. and a
hGavy coating OF whitewash was
scraped away and this refuse thrown
in heap outside. Warm. damp weather
followed and supposedly revived germs
from the previous epidemic, which had
been imprisoned under the white
wash.-York tPa.) Dispatch to the.

TRYING OUT ELECTRIC WAITER
Away With the Employment Of
Man ard Woman Servitors.

An electrical invention which. II Is
claimed. will do away with walters in
restaurants and hotels is being expert
mented with. Each table in the res
taurant is to be fitted with a frame
bearing the menu and a series of cleo
trical press buttons corresponding
with each item in the menu. The Gus
toner sits down before the already
laid table, with a neat pile OF glisten-
ing silver on one side. chooses the
dishes which he prefers. and presses
the corresponding buttons in turn.
In the kitchen of the restaurant the
number of the table and the number
OF the course required are signaled on
a screen to the chefs and their as
sistants, and in a few seconds steam
ing hot dish appears in little lift at
the side of the diners table.
The customer helps himself. presses
button. and the dish disappears
as silently as il came. leaving at the
side OF the plate a little aluminium
ticket indicating the sum to be paid.

Five Years Of Boy Scouts.

The Boy Scout movement in Amer
lea is only five years old. Yet so COM
mon is the sight OF the scout uniform.
so far-reaching is the scout service
and SO deep is its impression ON the
American imagination that it is hard
not to think that Boy Scouts have
always been.
There are times when all Of US de
spair of the future of the race. so
rampant seems evil. so triumphant and
arrogant seem vice ami sel6shness.
We know OF nothing that can so
swiftly restore faith for humanity as
the sight OF haif-dozen boys in scout

HAS TO DRAW ON ENGLAND
France Feeling the Scarcity Of Coal
Consequent on the German Con-
troll of the Mines.

France Is now compelled to call on
England for coal. which was formerly
mined in the north of France. Practi-
cally all the mines in that district have
either been destroyed by the German
artillery or are being operated by Ger
mans. At LEVIN and Courrieres the
German army is carrying on extern
sive mining operations and producing
great quantities of coal, which are
being shipped into Belgium for the
use of the German military forces.
France is no longer able to draw
coal from Mons and Charleroi. which
formerly supplied large quantities for
expectation. Consequently. the resi-
dents OF northern France are largely
dependent upon English mines for
coal. which has become very scarce.
Frequently towns and villages near
the fighting lines are entirely with
out coal for week. This works
great hardship on hospitals. sadly in
need of the fuel for hundreds of thou
sands of wounded and the sick SOL
diers of the allies who are being cared
for in French towns.

Ever since the war broke out ex-
periments have been made with q

horses. but simple as il may seem to
the uninitiated a satisfactory result
has not yet been obtained Enn crQus
inventors came forward with Wanted
dyes. but after the preliminary tests
only one liquid seemed to resist the
rain satisfactorily. A battery OF "a
white horses was consequently treat
ed. and sent out on duty in all wealth
ers When they returned after week
or ten days all the beasts were of Il
beautiful bottle green. and are ex-
pected to retain that hue for some
time to come.

Hospital Barqes.

Northern France is rich in water
ways. and hospital barges are already
running between Paris and the battle
front. under the auspices of the Union
dcs F'emmes de France. The hold is
enameled white and fitted with 40
beds, and at the end is the nurses
retiring-room. The bargemaster j
cabin is converted into living-room
for two surgeons. There is an operat-
ing-room. too. with washing gear, an
electric plant. and perfect system OF
heating. To convert a Seine barge
into a gondola Of this kind costs a
bare $500 and the results are beyond
praise-especially to fracture cases,
to whom the iolting road is agony.
The wounded are hoisted in by
means OF small cranes, and the barge
is then towed by steam or motor
yachts lent by wealthy persons. who
are more than glad not only to lend
their boats free of charge. but to navi-
gate them in person.. thus sharing in
the work OF mercy.
