CRUDE. BUT DOES THE WORK
Primitive System Of wireless Teleg'
raphy" In Use Among Tribes
of Amazon Region.

In the Juamara region of the Anna
zon the natives use crude system OF
wireless telegraphy, which, it lie
claimed, has been in operation fol
thousands of years. The transmitteI
found by an explorer was followed
trunk of tree suspended from a hori
zontal pole stretched between two
stumps. Inside the transmtter had
been arranged much like violin, and
it was explained that when the in
strument was struck smartly with a
small rubber hammer vibration was
created that carried for miles over the
hills. The receiver is very similar tc
the transmitter, except that it Is placed
on a hardwood platform, the base OF
the followed tree trunk being ground
ed on the platform. When the mes
sage is struck in the neighboring vii
lage, sometimes thirty miles away
this receiver catches the vibrations,
causing a jerky, singing sound. The
sound system, it is said, can be read
by the members of the tribe, and in
this way news of victories and other
happenings are told throughout the
countryside.

his FOOTBALL STORY
EY HAYDEN CARRUTH.

Our rules were few, though they
started out boldly enough under the
head of Constitution and Bylaws Of
the Corncob Club" and began and
ended as follows:
Section First, Article First-lt shall
be the duty of each member through
out every session to smoke a cob pipe
with due diligence.
Section First, Article Second
Members who do not smoke shall not
be required to smoke"
The parson was the only member
who proiited by article second, and
the doctor used to charge him with
quietly electioneering to have 1t re-
pealGd, so that he might return to his
former bad practises, but this was
slander on the good man.
Not being burdened with a cob pipe
in constant state of conllagration the
parson was left with more time for
conversational efforts. We suspected
he sometimes took advantage of our
nicotinized condition to fcst tales

story inspectors would have counte-
nanced; but of this there was no direct
proof. The parson certainly always
had most truthful and benign aspect,
and never more so than one evening,
when, the talk turning on football, he
leaned forward and said:

she could not live in a house any

thought, needed plenty of room to flap
his wings and to practice his archery;

salon, hostess to brilliant coterie of
people who would help her social am.
bition and her husbands business.
A school friend of hers came to see
her year and a half after she had
married and found her in a little frame
house on a side street, ridiculously
happy with her husband and her baby.
The back yard was just about big
enough to hold whirling clothes
frame and narrow flower bed against
the fence; the piazza was as snug as
a sailors hammock; the largest room
was about the size of the vestibule OF
the brides girhood home.

the size of the heart, and the biggest
