Hello Profanity.

The rule is strict against using pro-
fame language when talking over the
telephone. A telephone experiment
has proved a failure in Lynn. Mass.
The manager noticed that wrong
number" calls were frequent, and he or
dered the, hello" girls TO call each digit
separately and to insert the word
dash" after each one. The method
was slow, but the clirlax was reached
when a Lynn man was in hurry to
get a Boston newspaper office. He
called for Beach 5000" and heard a
sweet voice at central say: "Beach
three, dash. oh, dash, oh, dash, oh,
dash"
That netted the Lynn man and he
called out:
well, what are you cussing aboutT'
The order was abolished, and no
more dashes are being said by the
telephone girls at Lvnn.-Buffalo Com

A Swedish artist named Morlander
played funny joke on the Danes the
other day He bought what is techni-
cally called iron paper" on which he
was to paint a piece TO order. But
upon his return to Sweden from Co
penhagen he was told by the custom
house officials that the expectation Of
such paper was prohibited. For the
time being he could see no way out
of the difficulty. and he had to
leave the paper and take the ferry for
Sweden. When he landed in Sweden
he was so discouraged that he did not
think of catching the train for MS
home. While waiting for the next
train he set to thinking of some way
of getting the paper which he needed
SO badly for his trade. Yes, a new
idea came to him. He took the ferry
back to Denmark and asked for the
paper ito be used in the country"
This was perfectly legal, and the pa
per was handed back to him. Then he
sat down and painted some horrid Zig
ures on the paper. and by the time the
next ferry was ready TO leave he
presented himself with "a work of
art The customhouse official looked
at the paper a little while, and then
pronounced the verdict: Yes. now you

MUST NOT BOTHER EDISON
Visitors Not Permitted to Intrude on
Great Inventor When He is Busy
at His Experiments.

Thomas A.. Edison's favorite pur-
suit is chemistry. Even as a boy
telegraphist getting his first start to-
wards a career, this inclination was
manifest In his experiments with bat
teries and electric devices, and it still
remains his greatest pleasure, observes
an exchange.
His new laboratory is splendidly
equipped. Every known substance
ranging through all the Kingdoms of
matter from lanthanum to shark
teeth and including over 100000 speci-
mems, is kept on hand for immediate
availability. 1t IS a collection of over
80 years standing. encouraged from
time to time by prizes for new addi-
lions offered by the inventor to his
men.
His own laboratory table Is never,
In any circumstances, allowed to be
touched. A notice posted on the door
way reads to the effect that Mr.. Edi-
son is not to be disturbed in the course
of his experiments except for matter
of the utmost Importance. So fond is
he of his beloved pastime that he de-
clares his idea of heaven is to be able
to continue it. and his injunctions to
his staff are: when die l want my
table forwarded to me by wireless"

FINLAND.

Advices from PetrOgrad state that
another political crisis IS threatening
Finland, presumably as result of the
difficulties of the petrograd govern
ment, which. as in July, encouraged
the Bolsheviki majority TO press its
radical aims. The provisional govern
ment has received an intimation that
the speaker of the landtag has pub
lished a manifesto convoking the dis
solved house. One newspaper asserts
the government will not permit an I'M
lawful session and that If the social
lists assemble they win be expelled
from the landtag building by force of
arms. NJ. Nekrasov, the new governor
general of Finland, announces the pol
icy of the provisional government re-
mains unchanged.

NORWAY.

German conspiratOrs, spies and
propagandists, formerly so active in
the United States. seem to have trans
ferred their attention to Norway. A
series of supicious fires in steamships
and manufactures is blamed on the
plotters Others are charged with
helping interned German sailors TO
escape. Espionage is common and
some Germans have been caught and
sent to Jail. Propagandists for many
months have been trying to spread
thick layer of pro-Germanism over the
country. Every day plots or some as
sault against Norwegian institutions as
the Baron Rautenfels bomb plot
prove pernicious activity of the Ger
mans in a neutral country. The stu
alton has become such that patriotic
Norwegians have come TO look on every
German with more or less suspicion.
This feeling is the result, primarily, OF
the admission made by two German
spies. Captain Lowen and Petty Officer
Schwarz, who were tried, convicted
and sentenced TO FIVE and four years
respectively in the penitentiary. They
said no matter how they felt about the
matter. German must do anything he
was ordered to do by Berlin. The
newspapers have warned Norweglans
to distrust every German and the
warning in many eases is being needed.
Christiania Bushmen.-Partly on &C.
count of general room famine, partly

both sexes but whole families made
their homes In huts of sod. stone or
tar paper, tents, stone grottoes, caves
in the earth, or simply bowers made
of the twigs of trees. The "Bushmen'
were found by the hundred along the
Hoyin creek, In the Ekeberg forest,
the Bakkelag heights and Svartdalen,
by Mount Huldre. in the woods above
Skaadal, and at Vestum. The real

Crop reports from northern Norway
are very discouraging Up towards the
middle of July the weather was cold
and rainy. Not even the grass could

The potatoes were rotting in the

tatoes. The weather was so bad that
il even interfered with the work Of
putting up peat for fuel. The people
are preparing for hard time next
winter.
According to a copyrighted article
