He will hunt all day without eating anything but the mango, or banana, that he may seize as he gushes by. If the dogs are scarce for any reason, women are pressed into service, and these go loping through the brush yelping in imitation of the canines for whom they are substituted. Some times a beater will emerge from the brush carrying a pig he has encoun- tered and killed or, more important still, bringing news of the sihgting Of a python.

INDIAN TRIBE HAS
 WIRELESS SYSTEM

In these days O. wireless telegraphy it may be interesting to learn that as long ago a 5 1898 there was recorded the discovery of wireless telegraphic ap paratus in use among the Catuquinaru, ar Indian tribe of the Amazon valley in South America, says a writer in the Geographical Journal
 The apparatus. called cambarysu. consists of d hole in the ground about half filled with coarse sand; above this layers of fine sand. fra gments of wood and bone and powdered mica fill il al most to the surface of the ground. These materials are surrounded by d case of hard palm wood. which extends above the surface. The upper part Of the apparatus consists of layers of hide, wood and hard rubber.
 Between the upper layers and the lower layers there is 9 hollow space. With club, much like the stick used to play the bass drum, the native strikes the layer of rubber that forms the top of the instrument.
 One of these instruments is concealed in each hamlet of the tribe. The will lages are not more than a mile apart and are placed in direct north and south line. Although person stand ing outside the building in which the apparatus is kept cannot hear a blow of the stick on the rubber top, il is quite distinct in a similar building a mile to the north and south echo the blow The Indian stationed at each one of the posts answers the signal, and by | means of code messages a long conver- ation may be carried on.

Back to Old Days

l.
 The grandfathers or great grand fathers of many of Us, if living in the country, lived for time in log tractor If in the city they climber stairs to their offices and to their hotel rooms; their homes were heated with stoges and lighted by candles or oii lamps: they carried water for their baths. The requirement of each person in those days was very small in comparison with what We now consider the actual, bare necessities of life.
 Within the last fifteen years, which is as far back as there seems to be much attempt at building statistics, we have seen the farmers build new and substantial houses or improve the old ones, installing heating, lighting and water systems, with outside ad ditions of silos and garages, unknown 6 few years ago.
 In the villages we see high schools, fire houses, police stations, banks and office buildings where formerly none existed.
 Coming to the smaller cities we find improved hospitals, asylums and other public buildings; better stores factories and residences.
 In the big cities we have a wilder ness Of skyscrapers all filled and tenants clamoring for more space office and loft buildings, hotels and apartment houses, equipped in mod eln and expensive way. Even the tenement house dwellers are quaI ter ed in manner unthought of twenty years ago. By taking the statistical line of popula tion increase and comparing it 1 with the line of cost Of new building l t is easy to prove that the country l is so overbuilt that tenants must 1 be lacking for a large part of the 1 business and residence buildings. Such figures are disconcerting, but when we turn from them to a con- i temptation of the facts as visible to the eye, we perceive the unsoundness of the prior companion.
 If man who used to live in Q l $2,000 house now lives in one cost Ing $10000 that does not signify oVerbuiiding. The same when an olo office building or store is replaced
 a modern one; the figures of build ;rg operations are increased out o1 all proportion to the growth of popu- lation and yet no overlooking i: thereby indicated.
 For q sound knowledge of the ex- isting demand we must resort to the reports of observers and to sucl special information as ymay be q nlt disposal.
 In order to reach the bottom facts

 Iected reports from the Builders Ex

SORGHUM WHISKY
 OF HIGHLAND MAKE
GOndOn IdeaS.)

There are two methods of distilling spirits. namely, the ''pot-stilP' and the patent -still' The pot-still is the old CT. But the patent still, invented by | Coffey, has the recommendation of producing a pure spirit in one com plete operation.
 PotStill spirit on the other hand, | takes q long time to make, and is not | drinkable for at least five years. In fact is poisonous. This is due to the preponderance of such noxious ele- i nents as fusel oil and aldehydes which i it holds in the solution. Yet it is these poisons which give whisky its charac- teristic flavor. But when the whisky has been matured for several years they are greatly modified and practi- caAy harmless
 Alcohol may be manufactured from anything which contains starch or sugar Such materials as molasses. rotten potatoes, timber and certain vegetables have been used Patent spirit is principally made from maize raw grain and a small proportion of malt. The best pot-still whisky is made from malt. raw oats barley and rye.
 In the highlands of Scotland and on the isolated islands of the western sea board the illicit distillation of spirits is not by any means a lost art. The dis tillers are, as rule, "gillies" thrown out of employment at the end of the shooting season; and distressed gentle men farmers have been known to re- trieve their fallen fortunes by erecting ! 2 still in some outlandish part of their farms.
 In Ireland numerous districts of Connemara and the wilder parts of Ul- ster and Munster are devoted to the l making of ''potheen.' The "distillers are very rarely caught notwithstanding tlIe vigilance of the police and the rev. enue officials
 But such illicit whisky is Of very 1 poor quality, It is principally made from molasses, as the distillers have not the time to go through the elabor- ate process of malting and mashing.
 The greatest difficulty is also expe-
 rienced in maturing the spirits In
 fact it is easier to hide a keg from the
 police than it is from ones own neigh
 bors.

AGED POIU TAKING
VENGEANCE FOR SON
Fills Vacancy Caused by Youths
DEATH and Wins Five Medals.
BY w. F. FORREST.

PARIS, April 20-(by mail).-If the
world war drags on until American
youths have fought and fallen in
France, American fathers can listen
to the example set for them by Sergt
Jean Gaglio, the sIxty-two-year-old
poiIu of the Third Zouaves.
His gray hair showing under the
tasseled red fez OF the famous African
regiment which has fought from the
campaign of Tunis to Verdun, Ser
geant Gaglio is today somewhere in
France still getting vengeance from
the enemy for the death OF his TWEEN
ty-one-year-old son.
When the war commenced the son
marched away with his fathers old
regiment, the Third Zouaves. Before
q month had passed the son occupied
q soldiers grave in Belgium. The
news soon reached the father.
Without hesitation the red pants
and the red fez OF the Zouaves were
donned by the aged Gaglio and he
hurried direct to the old regiment to
NIL the very place left vacant by the
German bullet which took his only
boy.
Five war medals today hang on the
OAA man NCAg luG
and death hundreds OF times, GaKlio
has taken toll for his loss and his
medals are evidence He never takes
them off. Seriously wounded in the
French assault at Tracy-le-VaI he was
carried to a hospital. Surgeons shook
their heads and ordered his immedI-
ate discharge from the army. But
the old poilu mastered his wounds
and demanded the privilege OF retak-
ing his place in the line.
Gaglio reJoined his regiment when
the German hordes OF the crown
prince were throwing their full force
toward Verdun. He Is one OF those
men who names will live immortal in
France for having stemmed the Ger
man tide.
After Fort VauK had fallen the old
soldiers regiment was transferred to
the defense Of the works OF ThIau-
mont and the village OF Fleury. The
furious struggle here for days was
the talk OF the world. Gagllo was in
It all. II won him the rank OF ser
Eeant 1t also gave him the Medaille
Ailitaire, the NTH evidence of brav-
cry to grace his tunic. Here is how
the army order spoke OF Gaglio:
Engaged In the regiment to re-
place his son who has been killed by
the enemy. Has never ceased to give
the greatest example OF courage and
abnegation and to show his white
hair in the FIRST ranks. Wounded, he
has gained the rank of corporal in
February at LouvemOnt and that OF
sergeant in the heavy fighting at
Fleury."
Gaglio IL still at the Germans get
ting more revenge for the death OF
that son.

HIGHWAY BARRED TO FOWL

NEW YORK, May 11.-If any fowl
bird, or animal Is killed by an auto
mobile on q public road the owner OF
the machine Is not liable for damages
because he has a right to be on a
public road and the deceased has no
right 10 be there. This question, that
has caused so much had feeling
among neiEhbors in rural communI-
ties, has been settled in a suit brought
by Charles II. Park for IS, the alleged
value OF a turkey which Almon NJ
Farnsworth ran over. while he was
travelling in his machine through the
town Of Camden, N. Y. A justice of
the peace awarded Mr.. Park IS, and
on appeal the Judgment was reversed
in an opinion written by County Judge
Hazard. Part of the opinion read:
Highways are not built or main

upon the defendant the duty OF slow

1t became known recently that Jap
anese interests have been heavy buy
ers OF future cotton contracts, both in
the New Orleans and New York mar
kets. These buying orders have been
distributed among various brokerage
houses and are said to have amounted
to about $4,000 to $4,000 bales. The
comparison between the amount OF
raw cotton exported to Japan and
China thus far this season, 40 900
bales, and the amount exported in
the same period last year, 369, 900
bales, shows that Eastern interests
have also bought heavily of spot cot
ton. Japan already has driven Brit
ish and American manufacturers of
cotton goods out of many OF the far
Eastern markets, and IL Is evident
that this progressive nation contem-
plates the Rnnihilation OF her bust
ness rivals in this field. and is taking
advantage OF the more favorable ex-
change situation with this country to
stock up on raw materials.
