Hub of Three Nations.

An Alpine point of curious interest
just now, as the meeting place of two
hostile nations and an anxiously OBJ
servant neutral, is the Dreisprachen
Spite (9,32S feet) near the Stelvic
pass. AS the name implies, this height
is the spot where not only three ma
tions-Switzerland, Italy and Austria
meet, but three languages-German
Italian and the Latin of eastern
Switzerland. Two similarly named
peaks in the Alps have lost political
significance, since the Hapsburgs
now own, in the one case, all three
countries, in the other, two of the
three-the Dreiherrenspitze, junction
Of Tyrol, Salzburg and Goerz, and the
Dreilaenderspitze, junction Of Tyrol
the Voralberg and Switzerland.-Lon.

Uses of Coke Growing.

The tremendously increased impor-
tance of by-products of coke ovens
and gas works since the war started
has led to efforts to increase the use
of coke by concerns that heretofore
have used only coal. The government
has led the way by mixing certain
proportions of coke with other fuel
on it's railways and In its buildings,
and the manufacturers are following
this example. The coke ovens and
gas works are now depended on to
furnish three vitality important prod
ucts-explosive material, motor fuel
and nitrogenous fertilizer-and it is
deemed imperative that the production
of these by-products be stimulated by
an increased demand for the coke.

Corrected His Age.

A well-known textile union official
who is on recruiting committee tells
a story of man aged forty-four
years, who was anxious to join the
army.
At the recruiting Office he put his
foot In 1t by telling his true age, and
was rejected.
Going to the union man he COM

that kept him out of the army.

and say you made mistake, and that
your real age is thirty-six."
Away went the would-be soldier, and
putting on a bold front, told the re-
cru1ter that he was only thirty-six
years of age.
And why on earth did you say you
were forty-four?" asked the sergeant.

Unstable Moon.

The celebrated observatory c.
Greenwich, the place from which we
reckon longitude, was founded by
Charles II in 1875 mainly for the pur-
pose of investigating the movements
Of the moon in the interests of naviga-
ton. Although in the intervening two
and half centuries astronomers have
worked at the problem, the moon has
not yet become entirely amenable
to their mathematics. The astrono-
mer-royal of Great Britain, in his re-
port of the work at Greenwich during
the past year, calls attention to the in
creasing deviation between the cal.
culated position Of the moon in the
sky and it's real position as shown by
the Greenwich observations. The de-
Walton has lately been growing In
serious manner. The error last year
was more than twelve times as large
as the error twenty years ago, and the
average annual increase during the
two decades has amounted to half
second of arc in longitude. The rea.
son that astronomers have failed in
getting exact results from calculations
based on dynamical laws of gravita.
tion is possibly the existence of some
attractive force that they have not
yet discovered, although the result
may also be affected by the true shape
Of the earth, which still awaits accu.

The average velocity of stars ranges
from about six kilometers, or between

Well, Here 1t Is at Last
the Telephone "SiIencer" for
Which the World Has Waited

A "silencer" for telephones has
been in urgent demand for many
years and many inventors have exer-
cised their ingenuity on such devices.
The patent Office records show that
about eighteen of them actually have
been patented. Many of these sue
ceeded admirably in the object they
sought-namely, to make the voice of
the talker inaudible to those around
him, but succeeding in that they made
the voice inaudible also to the listen
er at the other end.
pany will not permit any device, good
or bad, to be attached to it's instru-
ments.
One of these inventions that effectu-
ally silenced the speakers voice was
that of Macmillan We'll, electrical en-
gineer of New York. When put into
actual practice it was found that this
so dulled the voice that the listener
at the other end could not hear him.
And it had the further disadvantage
of being attached to the mouthpiece of
the telephone. When Mr.. We'll found
his invention impracticable he set to
work to overcome both the aforemen-
toned defects. This he has just sue
ceeded in doing with an invention he
calls the 'privaphone." The man
using it cannot be heard by those sit
ting alongside Of him, but he is heard
distinctly at the other end Of the line.
And the instrument is not attached
to the telephone, which it does not
even touch. Therefore, the telephone
company cannot object to it's use.
The person using the privaphone
puts it to his mouth and talks into it
in the usual way, holding it directly
forward and few inches away from
the telephone mouthpiece, says the
New York World. His voice is lnaudi-
BILE a foot away, but the telephone
picks it up and transmits it clearly
as if he were talking directly into it.
The instrument is so small that it can
be carried in the pocket, enabling ev-
cry person to have his individual
mouthpiece that is unused by anyone
else and that can be used with any
telephone, thus making not merely for
privacy, but for sanitation.
The principle upon which this in
strument works cannot yet be told, as
Mr.. We'll has only just applied for a

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful 2"
Why do women write such letters +"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
