New relenranh Code.

A new form of code chart for sim
plifying the teaching of the Conti-
mental telegraph code has been
evolved by a Chicago inventor In
place of the usual method of repre-
senting the different telegraphic equiv
alents for letters and figures in the
form of dots and dashes, the charac-
ters are indicated by small and large
letters or figures; the former repre-
senting the dots and the latter the
dashes. For instance, the letter "a"
is represented as "a A" meaning dot
dash The letter "B" is shown as "B
bib" oP dash dot dot dot Thus, by
this simple method, the inventor has
eliminated the great confusion arising
from the dash-dot representations OF
the various characters. The letters
and figures are fixed in the memory
of the student as large and small
characters instead of in the form of
complicated mass of letters, figures
and combinations of dots and dashes.
It is stated that this chart has greatly
simplified the learning of the code.

~ praotioe Of kicklnn.

Kicking, like charity, should begin
at home. 1t ought to be the duty or
everybody at home to object, per-
sistently and effectively, to the spe-
cific overcrowded street car, the badly
paved road, the encroaching doorstep
the neglected yard, the malodorous
cesspool, the irresponsible motor car
and the reckless railroad-especially
if he have any personal part in the
maintenance of similar abuses. If the
tendency of these evils were rightly
spprehended, if part only of the ef-
fort that is expended, presumably, in
objecting to generalized, foreign and
futile subjects were bestowed on spe-
cific and tangible details, if we would
forego the emotional pleasure of the

evil at our very feet-especially II

New subterranean Fauna.

Deep mines present conditions like
ly to evolve a new subterranean fauna
from animals accidentally imprisoned
and having sufficient endurance to sur
vive the change At a depth of 75O
feet in a mine of the Midlothian Coal
field, Scotland, DR.. James Richie has
found 13 animal forms, and he con
cludes that many others may be car
ried into deep underground workings.
These animals we're away from any
ventilating shaft reaching the surface,
the main shaft being a quarter of a
mile distant. They are supposed to
have been introduced mostly on the
props of Norwegian fir and with the
horse fodder, but some may have been
drawn in by the suction of the venti-
lating fans. The species noted were
the common mouse, the brown rat, the
bouse sparrow, the great slug, a small
spider, two beetles, two flies, the
springtail or pit flea, two earthworms
and mycetozoon on the pit props.

also that publicity there, as in Wall

right with public opinion. The story
is we'll worth recalling, for it has an
obvious moral which should never be

CORDIAL WELCOME FOR MULE
British Army Authorities Recognize
the Good Qualities of the
Unhandsome Animal.

II would appear from the quality Of
the latest arrivals of mules here that
they are to be used for cavalry pur-
poses The lot at Epson are declared
by experts to be as clean as polo
ponies, able to gallop, and quite big
enough for the purpose-they are
about fourteen hands two inches high.
They would outrun any of the heavy
stamp of horse, Of which there are
plenty left, whilst horses suitable for
cavalry purposes are scarce all over
the world. Mules, OF course, are used
by Spanish and Mexican cavalry, but
they have not hitherto been used in
the British army except for transport
and for mountain batteries. The like
lihood is that there will be a revival Of
the mounted infantry idea, to take
light cavalry men who are now work
ing in the trenches from place to place
where motor traffic is impossible. Sir
Garnet Wolseley in 1872 foretold some
thing of the kind in his Wellington
Essay" where he said that mounted
infantry on mules or even IN carts, ac-
companied by a small proportion Of
real cavalry, would be OF signal use in
days to come. The mules and ponies
that formed the whole of Sir Fred
erick Rogers transport from Kabul
to Kandaher-he had no oxen or
camels-carried two "maunds, which
is about one hundred and sixty pounds,
but were capable of carrying much
more. A mountain battery mules load
runs up to 220 pounds, but he is never
as big as even fourteen hands.-Man-
