GAMBLE ON FIRE ALARMS.
False Calls, Marshal Thinks, May 30
 Traced to New Game.

Philadelpiia.-Fire Marshal G. w.. Elliott thinks he has traced the cause of the many recent false alarms of fire to a scheme to beat new gambling pool.
 In making his investigations he says he discovered the existence of club that operates in a manner similar to the old baseball score do and don't gamble. The members of the club, on the payment of 25 cents, are given a card with numbers corresponding to the numbers of five fire alarms. At the end of the month those members whose cards bear numbers correspond ing to those of boxes from which fire alarms have been sent in divide the pool.
 "The temptation to send in fake alarms by card holders is apparent" says the fire marshal.

It is nothing more than q mailing tube, Any kind of paper can be used, however, by simply rolling it into a tube and speaking into the end, letting the other rest against the ear of the deaf person. ttm about as deaf as they ever get and have spent hun dreds of dollars with specialists, but this simple roll of paper beats them all.

Heat at &he Persian Gulf.

. The Persian gulf and It's coasts are in summer about the hottest place on earth's surface, temperature of 120 degrees in the shade being not un- common, while a black bulb solar ther- mometer has registered 1S7 degrees in the sun.
 When one remembers that the hot test room in Turkish bath is usually kept at about 1GO degrees the appalling nature of this Persian heat will be better realized.
 The greatest heat ever known in England was on Aug. IS, 1893, when a shade temperature of 95 degrees was registered. But on this day the sun temperature did not quite equal that of July 2S, 1885, when 162 degrees F. was registered in the sun.

AVIATORS READY FOR
 COAST SIGNAL PATROL
In Flight of Two or Three Hours Land
 Forces Could Be Warned.

washingtou.-Nearly a quarter of million dollars has been spent by prt- yate individuals in the last three or four years % prepare skilled tliers for the work of instructing men to act as sky curtain of defense along the coast. Joseph 4. Steinmetz of West view and Wayne avenues, German town. president of the Aero Club of Pennsylvania, said that every event. uality had been foreSeen by more than 1Os men in the United States, who have been preparing steadily for such a crisis as may come to the country.
 At New York every day the Aero Club of America, with which the Phil adelphia organization Is affiliated, was In executive session waiting for word from the government to set It's machinery in motion. When the word comes from New York the ten skilled aviators of the Pennsylvania Aero club will begin training young men, prob ably at the recently purchased govern ment school at Essington, on the Dela- ware. There are ten machines owned by members of the Pennsylvania club, which represent half of those in the state. Other machines will be avail able for instruction at EssingtOn.
 Aviators would form coast signal patrol along the coast, being central lzed at strategic points, such as Sandy Hook and Cape May. A screen of ob- servation would be maintained by these ships, which would fly about POO or 300 miles from shore and could sight an enemy ship for 300 or 400 miles more. In a flight of two or three
 hours the land forces could be warned, and later the United States airboats
 could engage the enemy air fleet in
 case of an attack or attempt of the en- emv to land for purpose of observation.
