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

In the Juamara region of the ANA
zon the natives use crude system oil
wireless telegraphy, which, it is
claimed has been in operation fol-
thousands of years. The transmitter
found by an explorer was followed
trunk of tree suspended from hori'
zontal pole stretched between two
stumps. Inside the transmitter had
been arranged much like violin, and
it was explained that when the in
strument was struck smartly with
small rubber hammer a vibration was
created that carried for miles over the
hills. The receiver is very similar to
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.

duce, the difference in the results de-
pending on the bond Of sympathy es'
tablished between the animal and the
mixer. Good food and equanimity
then, are essential factors to an abun.
dant milk supply. Inasmuch as all
animal life is subject to the same
laws it Is reasonable to assume that
as the human being is more intellec-
tual than the cow, mental irritation
and anxiety may exert proportionately
even a greater influence on the nu-
man milk secretion. But however that
may be, obviously the full action OF
these two factors will not be attained
by telephone conversations or py
means of a written order on a drug
store; on the contrary results can De
expected only from careful, compre'
hensive preparation and training Oh
the part of the mother.
The absence of this training IN INC
individual home constitutes one OF the
fundamental weaknesses in our CIVIL
cation and is, to no small degree re-
sponsible for our weaklings and the
serious problems of intemperance ano
social unrest now confronting us.

lmpromptu Solo.

Pierre Carat, the singer and exquis
ito of Napoleonic France, was not
merely a glass of fashion and a won.
derful, self.instructed singer, but an
artist devoted to his art. But is the
following, asks Mr.. Bernard Mall in
his biography, an example Of sincerity
in art, or of love of attracting atten.
ton?
Coupigny had supplied him with a
romance" to be set to music. When.
ever the two met, Carat replied, Il
have not hit upon an idea as yet"
One day Coupigny was walking down
the Rue Neuve-des.Pet Champs.
Hearing sound of some one running
behind him, he turned; it was Carat,
who seized him by the arm, dragged
him up the stairs of neighboring
house, and, hating on the first landing,
exclaimed, I've got it," At once he
began to sing the romance through at
the top of his voice. The inhabitants
of the house began to open their doors;
heads were projected over the BAN
listers; finally they began to approach;
but Carat, having finished, tore down
the stairs like a monkey, dragging the
bewildered poet with him.-Youth's
Companion.

COMETS AND SOLAR SYSTEM
New Suggestion Has Stirred UP Sci
entists-Existence Of Gaseous
Masses Now Believed.

It is suggested that some OF the
striking changes manifested by Ger
tain comets in executing their orbits
are due to the fact that they encoun'
ter masses of gas in interplanetary
space, and that they are not moving
in vacuum, says a writer IN the oci'
entific American. If there are such
gaseous masses, then in view or the
inclinations and extent of their orbits
comets are peculiarly fitted to act as
explorers, and there Is every proDa'
bility that they will sooner or later en-
counter such masses. The planets
move in a narrow zone near the plane
of the ecliptic, while the inclination
of the cometary orbits is sometimes
considerable, varying for the perlodlc
comets from three degrees to 162 de-
grees. AS a consequence, comets at
tain regions Of the solar system, where
no other bodies pentrate. Many phe'
nomena seem to receive satisfactory
explanation if the existence of gaseous
masses scattered through the solar
system be admitted. These gaseous
masses, probably Of different chemical
constitution, may be considered as the
residue of the initial nebula, having es'
capped the phenomena of combustion
which gave rise to the other members
Of the solar system.

"Onca when / was singing in MINI

EARLY TRAVEL ON THE LINE
Rules and Regulations That Made
Passengers Toe the Mark Were
in Force.

AS contrast to the travelling facili.
ties which are now so universal, it is
interesting to read Copy Of the Rules
for Travellers on the First Railway" a
document still preserved among the
archives of the company of the Man
chester to Liverpool railroad, and
which has been sent by A. S. White
field to Notes and Queries. The rules
are as follows:
l. Any person desiring to travel
from Liverpool to Manchester, or vice
versa, or any portion of the journey
thereof, must, "a hours beforehand,
make application to the station agent
at the place of departure, giving his
name, address, place of birth, age, oc.
cupation and reason for desiring to
travel.
2. The station agent upon assuring
himself that the applicant desires to
travel for just and lawful cause,
shall thereupon issue a ticket to the
applicant, who shall travel by the train
named thereon.
3. Trains will start at their point OF
departure as near schedule times as
possible, but the company does not
| guarantee when they will reach their
| destination.
4. Trains not reaching their destina'
ton before dark will put up at one OF
the several stopping places along the
route for the night, and passengers
must pay, and provide for, their own
lodging during the night.
s. Luggage will be carried on the
roof of the carriages. If such lug
gage gets wet the company will not be
responsible for any loss attaching
| thereto.

ONE CAUSE OF EYESTRAIN
c,,..v papsr Exceedingly HARMFUL
croam and Pale Blue 7int' sa'o
to Be the Best.

II ia said that the reflection OF ilene
from glossy paper is particularly halu
m the ewes. Some persons have gone
an far as to recommend that no car
endered or coated paper be used IN any
schoolbooks, since glossy paper re-
fleets light rays directly without oii'
fusing them, to save the eyes. inc
nnhlic and tho printers, on the other
hand have been demanding more nigh
" glazed paper on account of its rlch'
ness and fitness for half-tone WORK ~
nrove their point, the antiglare socle'
.,os have printed a number OF pampll-
lets on mat and even bond paler'
While the half-tone work Is not so
oood beautiful results can be op-
tained with the Offset process, ana the
HIGHER cost of the paper is compen-
seted for by it's lightness. From rough
surfaced paper the study has been car
.ried to tinted paper. Cream and pale
blua tints seem to involve less eye
strain than white paper, and If the
tints are alternated throughout a BOOK
each page brings a restful cfsnge 10
tho ewes. The thickness of the paper
and the presence of too much wood
min has been considered, along with
the question of size and leglblllty Vi
TYNE. The whole discussion has been
brought about by the increase IN eye
tronhle among school children.

Credit for Lord Lister.

Sir Frederick Treves is said to have
stated that Lord Lister won the Russo
Japanese war, and certainly the sta
tistics revealed surgical triumph
over wounds and inflammations that
was all-important when small nation
was fighting large one. AS an ex-
ample of the aseptic and antiseptic
plans followed it is reported that when
any Japanese battleship was going
into action the men were ordered to
take a bath In disinfectant and to
wear clean boiled underclothing, thus
insuring the cleanliness and easy
healing of possible wounds, and a
quick return Of healthy men to active
service.
