STAMPS IN VENDING MACHINE
Ingenious Mechanism Which Prints and
Arranges Them for Convenient
Distribution.

Probably you have bought stamps
occasionally from the automatic
vending machines. You punch the
button corresponding to the denomi-
nation you want and out comes a
postage stamp.
The stamps inside the machine
are arranged in coiled strips, a coil
for each denomination. Originally
the stamps are printed on a very
long, continuous sheet, ten stamps
wide. The sheet is then passed over
a roller that has rows of little holes
running lengthwise, each row sepa-
rated from the next by exactly the
width of a stamp. As the sheet
travels corresponding rows Of tiny
punches pop down into the holes,
p%erforating the sheet at the requisite
intervals.
Only crosswise pe~rforations are
needed, because the sheet when
taken into the machine will be cut
into ten strips one stamp wide, each
strip winding itself on a sort of bob
bin. When the bobbins are full the
coils thus made are removed, ready
to be put into the vending apparatus.

HAD THE VALET GUESSING
to Define Status Of "PenniiesS'
American Douphboy.

How an American serving in the
British army gave a London valet
the shock of his life was related by a
soldier returning from England. A
ragged, penniless American, worn by
a years fighting with the British in
France, wandered into Y. NJ. c. A.
Eagle hut, London, and seemed so
forlorn and needy that Mrs. Covers,
head of the Y. M. C. A. Hospitality
league, and wife of Lloyd Georges
secretary, took him into their home
for his leave.
After a good nights rest the
American put the valet "over the
jumps" ordering his uniform
pressed and generally bossing the
houseman in a manner far from
what that factotum thought .
humble soldier should assume.
Finally the servant went to Mr..
Covers to ask who the American
was. Mr.. Covers did not know why
the valet asked.
"Hif may say 80, sir, 'e's maxim
'mself very much at 'ome, sir, maxim
us all jump about a bit, and e told
me to send this c~ablegram," said the
valet, handing over a message which
read as follows:
dad, I'm busted. Send another
thousand. War is hell"

fornia millionaire's son.--Chamber-

PLAN TO SALVAGE MUCH COAL
Valuable Fuel Now at the Bottom Of
the Sea May Be Brought
to Surface.

Coal estimated at 1000, 900 tons
will be salvaged from the bottom Of
Long Island sound with five special.
ly constructed boats built by Simon
Lake, submarine inventor, according
to plans announced by the Lake En-
cheering company Of Bridgeport,
Conn. If first salvage operations
are successful, it is planned to SAL
wage coal all along the New England
coast.
The work promises to be one Of
the most interesting after-war indus
tries in that section of the country.
Simon Lake. who invented the Lake
submarine, now in extensive use by
the United States government, said
that the possibilities are unlimited.
A new era in national thrift and con-
%servation of wasted public utilities
heretofore overlooked or ignored is
heralded by Mr.. Lake.
Thousands of tons of coal are at
the bottom of the sound within $50
feet Of the surface, according TO Mr..
Lake. The amount of coal in the
sound is insignificant compared with
the vast tonnage at the bottom of the
Atlantic near the New England
coast, the result of hundreds of
wrecks.

GREATEST MEDICAL CENTER.

One hundred and fifty Of the most
prominent physicians and surgeons
of the city have combined to make
New York the greatest medical CEN
ter in the world. This fact was re-
vealed when it was announced that
already a campaign is being waged
by the recently organized New York
Association for the Advancement Of
Medical Education and Medical
Science for a fund of $50, 00O, 900 to
carry on the work. 1t was the dec
laration of those at the head Of the
movement that there is every indica-
ton that the effort to put New York
in the place Of Berlin and Vienna as
world medical centers will be
crowned with success.

MAY WIPE OUT ELEPHANTS
Decision Of South African Authorities,
It 10 Feared, viii Mean Their
Extinction There.

The life of the famous African
elephant seems to be in danger, for
the South African Cape provincial
council proposes to exterminate
those in the Aldo Bush forest, near
Port Elizabeth.
For generations past these ami
mails have been a great nuisance to
the farmers. They have damaged
crops and killed several persons.
The African elephant is noted for
its laziness-quite the reverse to its
Indian relative, who when called
upon c~heerfully and easily Shout
ders q burden of q ton or SO. How
ever, an effort is to be made to train
the young ones for log-hauling in
the Cape forests.
The rounding up Of the animals
has involved the erection Of a num-
Der of lofty observation towers, and
50 large are the numbers to be killed
that the shooting of the animals will
take over six months. The natives
enjoy elephant meat, and the pros
pect of an unlimited supply for sew
eral months is being eagerly looked
forward to.
The provisional councils an
nouncement has caused keen regret
among n~aturalists, some Of whom
say that should the threat be carried
into effect the elephant, like the
mastodon and the ichthyosaurus,
may become extinct.
