Press Comment Upon the Fighting

sion.

German press comments upon the
fighting on the western front are pc
culiarly interesting. Some journals
are frankly lachrymOse. while others
undertake the uphill task of cheering
up the disappointed German public.
The Koelnische Volks Zeitung is
angry and says there is no ground for
concealing the fact that in the ranks
Of the German troops were deserters
who utilized their knowledge for base
treachery to the fatherland."
But the newspaper endeavors to re-
assure it's readers by saying that fur
ther severe battles are impending. add
ing that not only in the region east of
( Rheims, but also on the Marne, the
Germans are confronted by new tasks.
Il urges them not to allow the small
tests made Of their patience to give
rise to all kinds of wrong conceptions.
In the VOssische Zeitung, which is
/ famous for its previous insistence that
/ England should be beaten to her knees,

say that the general prospects and the
enemys determination are such that
he can only shake his head mourntul-

Fur Farming.


 Fine furs have reached fabulous val ues on account of growing scarcity, and this gives financial importance to the conclusion of Ned Dearborn of the United States bureau of biological survey that the problem of future supply has only one solution-fur farming. Of the score or more of diff ferent fur-bearing animals native to North America, about a dozen seem to be suitable for domestication. The skunk, mink and silver fox have been successfully bred in captivity. and the marten, fisher, otter blue fox. raccoon and beaver have given promise in par tial tests. Minks first bred in Oneida county, New York, seem to have been the first wild fur bearers domesticat- ed In the United States, the breeding having begun 50 years ago. The skunk is the most easily and commonly do- mesticated. and has more breeders in the United States than all other fur bearers combined.

FIRST TELEGRAPH IN 1774
Wire Used for Each Letter of the AL phahet-Equipment Placed in
 Trough Underground.

The first electric telegraph of which we have historic record, and also that on which most writers and authorities agree, is that of George Louis Le Sage, a Frenchman living in Geneva, Switzerland, and who built his first telegraph in 1774, says the Electrical Experimenter. The Le Sage telegraph system employed A wires, placed in trough in the ground, the wires being suitably spaced and insulated by means Of glass partitions Ut frequent inter vals. Each wire represented 8 certain letter of the alphabet. As is known, gold leaf is extremely sensitive to mi mute electric impulses, and so we find that Le Sage placed small piece of gold leaf at the end of each wire. To send signal over any particular wire corresponding to certain letter of the alphabet, small static charge was sent through the wire by touching it at the transmitting station with glass rod which had previously been cleo trically excited by rubbing 1t with silk. This system was rather limited In its application, as 1t Is very difficult to insulate a static charge for any great distance.
