How Wireless Is "Jammed."

"Jamming" wireless apparatus is
q practice usually resorted to by weak
er ships trying to escape, and consists
In sending storm Of electric waves
through the air with such rapidity and
strength that the pursuing ships can
not get messages of warning through to
other vessels of their fleet This plan
was frequently resorted to by German
sea raiders in the early stages of the
war. The Goeben and Breslau, Ger
man cruisers, which We're thought
penned in the Adratic by British
fleet, jnmmed the messages of the YES
sells that sighted them. and succeeded
In getting out of the Straits of OF
rantO and into the shelter of the Oar
danelles. When the Karlsruhe ex-
changed shots with the British cruiser
Bristol during running fight In East
Indian waters 1t succeeded in jamming
radiograms so that other British cruis-
ers in the vicinity did not get the
Karlsruhe's location In time to come
up with her. AS result the German
vessel escaped into South American
waters, and continued to raid British
shipping for some months.

WHY
Liberia Deserves Common
dation for War Work

Among the enemies of Germany let
us not forget Liberia. This tiny Afri-
can republic entered the war In all
seriousness. has contributed to the
victory and bears some honorable
scars. 1t established compulsory mill
tary service and sent hundreds of la
borers into France for war work. 1t
expects seat somewhere near the
foot of the great peace table.
Some two hundred German citizens
controlled rs per cent OF Liberals
commercial activities before the war.
These two hundred are now informed
In France. and the government took
over their enterprises and sold them
at auction. 1t will be remembered
that the republics entire navy was
sunk by the Germans last April. 1t
consisted of one small vessel. and the
submarine that punctured Its hull also
shelled Monrovia. the Liberian capital,
and killed ten people.
Liberals military authorities estab-
lished basis for determining liability
to army duty which is the acme OF
simplicity. Natives without clothes
are not eligible for service, but as
soon as a man puts on shirt ana trou.
sers he automatically becomes liable
for enrolment and service. This Is
on the authority of Bishop Alexander
p. Camphor, head. of the Methodist
church in the republic. Though Ii
beria's part In the war has been small,
1t has been none the less creditable.

How to Test color.ellndne.s.

There are degrees or varieties in
color-blindness, and the United States
public health service finds that, while
SO per cent Of men and % per cent
Of women are affected to some extent,
1t can be regarded as dangerous TO
81 per cent OF men and OF per cent
Of women. These are persons who
cannot safely be intrusted with amy
service requiring the recognition Of

dangerously affected class are those
who are able to see less than four
cOlOrs In the spectrum those able to
see more than three cOlors but who
have the red end so shortened rs to
fail to detect red light two miles
away; and those with IN area In the
field Of vision that is wholly or partly
blind to red and green. In testing for
color-blindness, the Eldrldge-Green
color lantern is preferred to the old

HUNTED TO SOME PURPOSE
How Cat Made Scientific Discovery
While With Exploring Expedi-
tion in Australia.

While the cat has often served the
purposes of science. 1t has generally
been not to her own comfort and fire.
quently with the loss of her life. One
cat in Australia. however, proved her
usefulness i'm the advancement of hui
man knowledge without being COM
PEELED to sacrifice herself on the altar
of science.
This cat belonged to member Of
an expedition into the interior Of Aus
tralia. One day she brought to hen
master strange little animal which
she had captured among the rocks.
The man handed the animal over to
the naturalist of the party, who saw
at once that pussy had made an i'm
portant discovery. The animal she
had caught was new and apparently
rare species of the tribe of insect
eating marsupials belonging to the
great family of which the giant kan
karoo is the most conspicuous repre-
sentative.

Test Fish Preparation.

Testing of the most practical meth
DDS of preparing various fishery prod
ucts has recently been carried out in
the bureau of fisheries experimental
kitchen In Washington. Among the
fish experimental with were butter
fish, frozen tullibee, croakers. blue
fish, spot. bowfin. whiting, catfish.
sQueteague, carp and gizzard shad.
Particular attention was given to carp
and gizzard shad. as each possesses
characteristics when prepared by the
usual methods which tend to lessen
its attractiveness to the housewife.
Other products tested were fish but
ter, canned black drum, buck roe,
dehydrated squid and dehydrated fish
chowder. Since the closing Of the
demonstration work on the west
coast, the demonstrators have been
working with the California state 6sh
commission on some publications. In
tended to increase the. use Of fish and
fishery products. 1t now appears that
1t will be possible to renew the dem
constructions in the near future. and It
Is probable that the first will be given
at Stockton.

How Father Handicap. Himself.

II has been noticed that In many
cases of influenza the father succumbs
to the disease. while the rest Of the
family gets well.
II find that the father Is less care
full of his energy than the rest of the
family" said woman who has been
doing a great deal of volunteer nurs-
ing since the epidemic. "In the first
place, he thinks he has bad cold and
keeps on with his work. Then when
It Is absolutely necessary for him to
stay ut home he attends to the fur
mace and waits on the others who are
sick. If every man would go to bed
and stay there when ne is first III. 1t
would be much better for his family,
as he Is the wage Garner and the pro-
tectOr generally, and needs care that
he may conserve his own energy for
the purpose Of fighting the disease,
and getting well that he may take
care Of his family as long as they need
him."
