ALMOST TOO QUICK TO ACT
Automatic Fire Alarm Does Not Give
Blaze Any Time to Get a Hold
on Building.
IN BUGv1ILE.

The owner Of an Office building in
San Francisco spends his spare time
in inventing devices for his own use.
One of the devices is an automatic
fire alarm which he has installed in
his building for protection at night.
These devices, which are distributed
throughout the building, cause bells
to ring upon any considerable rise
Of temperature. They are so con-
structed, in fact, that they are liable
to give false alarms, for the heat
from a lamp several feet distant
from the apparatus will set the in
struments off. The devices work
upon the principle Of the unequal
expansion Of metals, brass and steel
being used. Two strips of these
metals are Soldered together
throughout the length of the instru-
ment. Any variation of the tenn
perature causes the compound rib
bon to curve toward one side on ac-
count of the greater expansion Of
the metal on the other side. An
electrical connection is made at a
certain point and the bell rings.

SIAMESE TROOPS IN FRANCE
New Recruits for Allies Said to be
Particularly Useful In the
Aviation Service.

Reuters agency has received from
a well-informed Siamese source some
details of the first Siamese contin-
gent, which arrived in France just
ten days ago. The contingent con-
sists Of units Of Siamsse ambulance,
motor and aviation corps, and is I'M
der the command Of Maj. Gen. Phya
Bkijai Janridh, who was awarded
the K. G. M. G. some months ago
when he was head Of the Siamese
military mission to England. The
general, who has since been await
ing in France the arrival of the
Siamese contingent, was, some twen-
ty years ago, in the Belgian army,
and was educated in France.
The Siamese are peculiarly suited
to aviation work, on account of their
extraordinary keen eyesight, their
smallness and their daring. The
members of the aviation corps who
have arrived in France have had
good training in Siam, which win
be completed in France. They wear
khaki uniforms, much the same in
cut as that worn by the British
troops. Although there has been
compulsory service in force in Siam
for many years, the troops which are
now arriving are all volunteers.

HIGH COST WAS
EVEN HIGHER IN
CIVIL WAR ERA

Colonel Frank II. Rahm, Of Rich
err of war during his fight for the
Confederacy and VINO is now lieuten
ant colonel on the staff of General
J. Thompson Brown, commanding
the department of the army of north
ern Virginia, U. c. ", produces a
clipping from a Virginia paper of
1864 which he offers as comfort to
those who are suffering from the
high cost Of living Of today.
In that period during the war,
according to Virginia paper, eggs
were quoted at SO dozen. While
such ordinary things as onions
brought 81 piece.
tomatoes were held at only IS a
quart" runs the market story from
the old paper. Small green corn
nubbins, Sc a doze.. eggs, $40 a
dozen; collards, greens as grass and
tough as leather, SO a parcel; green
apples, So a quart; bacon hams, 50
pound chickens, much too small for
soup, So and $40 a piece; Irish pota-
toes, So per quart; onions, 81 a piece;
blackberries, So a quart; beef, SIS
pound; hog lights and livers, $40 and
$12."
Colonel Rahm, who has saved this
clipping, was a lieutenant in Mosbys
cavalry during most of the war. He
first enlisted, however, in 1861 in the
artillery and secured his transfer to
the cavalry by putting in the artil-
lery as his substitute Nicholas
kathleen Mavourneen." Colonel
Rahm paid $4,000 for this substitu-
ton and then joined the cavalry to
be under Colonel Mosby.
He was captured by the enemy
and sent to the prison at Fort Della
ware but feigned illness and was
exchanged. He then re-entered Col
onel Mosby's command and was cap
tured a second time and sent to
Capitol prison at Washington. When
he was moved from this prison to
Fort Delaware with eighty other
Confederate officers he escaped by
Jumping from the window of the
moving train. Although escaped he
had a difficult time to make his way
south again and was forced to ac-
complish this by crossing into Can
ada, thence to Halifax and by boat
to Cuba, from which place he finally
reached the coast ." Florida on the
Confederate sF'-1 Owl.
Colonel Rahm is author of book
on the war and so-Ae Of his expert
ences, which was written by the re
quest of his commanding officer, Col
onel Mosby, but this book was writ
| ten for distribution among his
friends and comrades and has never
been placed on the market. The Vir-
| ginia officer is one Of the promi-
nent visitors to the Confederate re-
union this week. He is the father
of Mrs. Hugh L. Cardoza, of Allan
ia, and is visiting Mr.. and Mrs.

man of her choice on the eve of the
great Civil war. Bulloch Hall, the
fine old colonial mansion in which
the ex-president's mother spent her
girlhood days, is one of the few sur
viving landmarks of the ante-bellum
period.
archibald Bulloch, an ancestor of
Mr.. Roosevelt, was president of the
executive council when Georgia be-
came a commonwealth in 1875. 1t
was likewise his rare privilege, first

ration of independence Immediately
following it's reception in Savannah.
Much of the sturdy Americanism
which characterized the public life
of Mr. Roosevelt was an inheritance
from this pioneer Georgia patriot.
1t also explains, in a degree, the
strong grip which Mr.. Roosevelt held
upon the popular imagination of
Georgians, and the warm place which
Georgia always occupied in his af-
fections.
Irrespective of political differ

Horse Climbs Hay Loft
And AmazeS Farmer

John Francis, farmer of Gen.
trail Village, Conn, received the sur
prise of his life the other day when
he went into the barn of his neigh
Dor, Mr.. Rock, and saw the latter's
horse up in the hayloft
The horse had been put in the
barn the night before with nice
bed of straw on which to sleep. The
next morning when the two men
went in to get the young horse he
was nowhere in sight. AS the barn
door had been locked it was certain
he had not been stolen, and the two
men could not imagine what had
become of him. A noise over their
heads caused them to look up III
the hayloft, and there was the miss
ing horse.
He rufused to venture down the
steep stairs, however, even if he had
climbed it the night before, so the
farmers had to take a block and
tackle, cut a hole in the side of the
barn and lift him down to the earth
once more.
