MYSTERY or THE BLACK cow



A particularly ingenious example
Of the methods employed by German
scouts in France for communicating
information to their troops has been
reported from France. II appears
that the German intelligence depart
ment took an idea or two from the
gypsies, who have code of signs
that they write on walls and fences
as they pass along, for the Informal
ton Of other members Of their clan.
A favorite sign with the Germans
has been a black COW. That animal,
roughly sketched in black crayon on
walls, gates and fences, was fire.
Gsently noticed by the French as,
they passed, and was so crudely
drawn that at first it aroused no sus-
picion. Sometimes it was small,
sometimes large, now rampant, now
couchant, and often the horns were
ridiculously long in comparison with
the rest of the animal. But it was
not case of bad drawing. The only
things that mattered we're the size
and the direction in which it faced.
The French officers discovered the
secret OF this system of signals.
A little COW signifed that the road
was only weakly defended moder-
ate-sized COW, meant that the allied
troops were in the neighborhood; a
large COW, was a warning that there
were earthworks or trenches near by.
The direction in which the cows
head pointed indicated where the
danger lay. If it pointed into the
air, that meant that the Germans
had better reconnoiter the ground b
aeroplane before advancing. :

SEVERE TEST FOR WATCHES
During Competition at Royal observa
tory, Greenwich, chronometers
Given Turn In Oven.

Only the best-made chronometet
would ever survive the tests made at
the Royal observatory, Greenwich.
Usually there are about two hundred
watches under examination for use
in the royal navy. On certain occa-
sions there is a complete trial of
chronometers open to all makers
who have sufficient confidence in
their watches being able to withstand
the severity of the tests.
During the competition the watches
are exposed to every possible varia-
ton of temperature. They are baked
in furnaces sufficiently hot to cook Q
joint.
In fact, so great is the heat that a
badly made watch has been known
to tumble to pieces during the bak-
ing test. The moment a watch is
taken out of the oven it is plunged
into mixtures registering 40 degrees
of frost.
To such perfection has the manu.
facture of some chronometers at
tanned that even the most stringent
tests fail to cause the slightest varia-
ton.

New Safety Device.

A clever device to insure that not
more than ten men at once shall ride
on the mine cages is in use at the
colliery of Jermyn & Company at
Rendham. II consists of a turnstile
with four spaces, which will revolve
exactly two and a half times in one
direction, thus admitting ten men. The
turnstile revolves on a screw thread,
of which there is Just enough to per-
init the two and half revolutions.
Then the gate to that shaft is closed,
and that TO the adjoining shaft opened
and ten men are admitted by the
turnstile revolving in the opposite d.
rection to the cage in that shaft, The
device stands between the two shafts.
II is the invention of Supt. John Cor
coran, and has been In use long
enough for a thorough test. The only
way to load more than ten men on
either cage is for the extra man to
climb over the turnstile or gate, and,
of course, the headman will not per
init that.

The people, like ourselves, belong to

portion Of them occupy a mountain
ops country, and the men are usu-

Their country was civilized and
prosperous in the time of Christ, and
there can be no doubt that the gen.
eral average intelligence Of Armeni-
ans is due to the fact that they are
the descendants of parents who have
been civilized for centuries. Arme-
mia was the first country to establish
Christianity as the religion of the
state. Their great Christian teacher
and national saint is Gregory the IL
luminator. 1t is rare to visit the
house of an Armenian in a fairly
prosperous condition where there is
not evidence of artistic and musical
taste; pictures OF a piano, or Other
musical instruments.
