LINKING RUSSIA WITH PARIS
Wireless Station on the Eiffel Tower
to Be Used to Communicate
With Cars Empire.

The wireless station at the EiffeI

with Russia from Paris. via British

of by way of German stations. But
the Eiffel tower, however, could easily
get its messages to Petrograd direct.
for il is the most powerful station on
the continent. The terrific sparkling"
from its antennae, nearly a thousand
feet above the ground, is so distinct
that those conversant with the Morse
code can read its time and weather
reports in the streets of Paris without
any instruments. But there Is no pow

USED THE ENEMY'S BULLETS
Shrewd Maori Warriors Played Neat
Trick on British Soldiers Whom
They Were Fighting.

An amusing Maori story is told of
the period when these natives were
at war with Great Britain. All sorts
of tricks went on, such as are not
only fair but commendable in war.
When the Maoris were in want Of
bullets they used to show a dummy
from behind a tree, and, Of course,
it was Immediately fired at A man
in the background at once pulled it
down by string.
oh" thought the British soldiers.
we've done for himi"
Up came the dummy again, cautious
ly. Bang. bangi went the British
rifles, Down fell the dummy; and
this went on until some worse marks
man than usual cut the dummy's rope.
No Maori had the courage to expose
himself to splice it, for that meant
certain death
The bullets were all taken out of
a little earth-bank which the Maoris
had made behind the tree where the
dummy appeared, and we're used
again.
1t was long before this artifice was
discovered.
