Part of the construction of the tele-
phone consists Of a pocket contain
Ing small quantity of granules of
-arbon through which the vibrations
pass. and the difficulty with this has
always been that It's full efficiency
has not been secured by reason Of
the fact that these particles become
packed In and are therefore nom
active. This condition is attributed
to the moisture Of the atmosphere.
To remedy this defect some French
inventors have made microphone In
which each individual grain of car
bon Is in coil by itself so that no
two grains can touch each other,
being In contact only with the walls
of the cell and diaphragm of the in
strument Experiments have shown
that the new microphone is remark
ably sensitive and gives a purer tone
than any constructed on the old prin-
ciple.-Indianapolis News.

LOOK TO FUTURE OF FOREST
Experts Point Out Folly OF Practices
Which Prevent the Reproduction
Of the Trees.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of AgrIculture.)
That young growth In the woods,
known popularity as "brJtsh," is some
thing to be rid of, is a prevalent but
mistaken conception since forest
cannot maintain itself long without re-
production. For the sake of getting a
scattering Of green grass in the spring
1t Is the short-sighted practice in hun
dreds Of localities to fire the woods
regularly. This results in killing thou
sands of small trees needed to con-
tinue the forest In the future, and also
Injuries large amount Of marketable
timber. Furthermore, such burning de-
stroys large amount of rich vegetable
fertilizer.
Cattle and hogs In hardwood stands,
and hogs in 1ong-leaf. pines, keep the
forest from being restocked. Damage
from insects can be reduced by cutting
timber at the proper time of year and
BY utilizing lightning killed trees with
out delay. since they harbor destruc-
tive pests. Cattle destroy the produc-
tive leaf mulch which keep the trees
growing during long. dry spells. All
large openings where light comes
through into the forest should be filled
with younger trees.

Coaches to Go in the Trossachs.

An epoch of more than local interest
was closed recently, when the four-in-
hand and other coaches formerly in
use ON the famous Trossachs route
we're brought under the auctioneer's
hammeS
For {ssre than 60 years the four-in-
hand COACH with its team of powerful
horses end its post-boy In scarlet coat
and wllte hat has been a familiar and
picturesque feature of the season on
the road between Callander and the
Trossachs.
The picturesque four-in-hand coach
Is being displaced by the utilitarian
motorcar, and a feet of them is be-
Ing put upon the road by the new
company which has taken over the
Trossachs hotel from the Blair fam
lily, In whose hands the famous hos
telry has been for more than half a
century.-Edinburgh Scotsman.

STUCK IN THEIR MEMORIES
American Slang Phrases That Became
Popular Among the FiIipinos
and Frenchmen.

"An right" was generally the first
English phrase the French picked up
from American troops. "All right" an
swers probably quarter of the ques-
tons that an American is called upon
to reply to. In the great mass Of jar
gon in strange tongue. it stood out
on account of constant repetition.
The poilus were wont to practice it,
over their cognac and win blanc
glasses, In place of their own ''tres
bien," and yell it ont to the Yankees
on the side of the cafe.
As the French mastered "all right"
so the Filipinos took up "gangway"
during the American occupation of the
Philippine islands 20 years ago. Pur-
suing rough-house tactics that were
not permitted during the last war in
France, the American troopers would
go down the streets of the island
towns. pushing the natives into the
gutter and yelling "gangway!" 1t be-
came so that whenever a native heard
"gangway" half a mile off, he imme-
diately began to make way for the
gang.
During the Instruction, at the
height of one Of the rebels "of-
fensives." the American troops were
astonished to see great swarm of
Aguinaldo's soldiers come rushing over
the top, waving bolos and spears and
yelling "Gangwayi Gangwayw
The Filipinos thought "gangway"
was vile American cuss word. They
later decided that Col. Fred Funston
and his Twentieth Kansas doughboys
didn't care even If they were sworn

Venice Art Being Restored.

Now that the war Is over and Ven
ice has recovered from the nightmare
Of having her wealth Of art destroyed
by shell fire. or, worse still, looted by
soldiers, one by one her treasures from
underground cellars or distant CALLER
les are being returned to their places.
One Of her most admired posses
sions, however. Titian's Assumption
of the Virgin" which Is counted
among the seven great masterpieces
in the world, the pride Of the Venetian
Academy Of Fine Arts, has been re-
turned. not to the gallery, but to Its
original home In the choir Of the
beautiful gothic Church of the Frari,
for which it was painted by Titan In
1916.
The magnificent frame Of carved
marble originally built round It now
shows off the glorious picture to ad-
vantage and the Venetians are delight
ed that 1t should be restored to the
position where It's donors and the
great genius who composed 1t intsnd-
ed 1t to remain.

The Good Heckisr.

Elihu Root said at a New York
luncheon:
II like to attend some radical meet
ings on account of the heckling that
goes on at them. Hecklers are much
cleverer than the speakers as q rule.
"A radical orator was being heckled
sthe other evening by broad
shouldered lad in brown cap. The
orator got the worst of 1t, and he lost
his temper. Finally he said in a voice
Of rage and hatred:
Take off your cap. young man, II
you want to question meI''
Take off your capt Take OF
your CAPT. yelled the orators support
ers on the platform.
'But the broad-shouldered youth
grinned and shouted:

The origin of the word Canada is
obscure, but it is now generally ac-
cepted that 1t is derived from 40 In
dian word. "Kannatha," meaning a
Village or collection of huts, and 1t is
supposed that Jacques Cartier. hear
Ing this word used by the Indians with
reference to their settlements, mistook
Its meaning. and applied 1t to the
whole country. Quebec is said to be
derived from the Indian word Kebec !"
meaning strait. and was given to
the site of the present city Of Quebec
from the peculiar configurafion of the
st. Lawrence river at that point, for
the river there grows narrow and from
its deep waters rises the bold height
On which the ancient city stands.

CITY HAS NO RUNNING WATER
vladivostol<, Political Capital Of the
Far East, Lacks What Ameri-
cans Consider Essential.

A city with some $4,000 inhab-
ftants and no running water-such is
vladivostok, as described by Phil Nor
ton I'm the columns Of Travel. Nor
is this lack Of an everyday convenience
made less pressing by the fact that
vladivostok jumped from a popula-
ton Of about 10000 people without
adding to the number of houses. The
Manchu water vender. with his hogs
head mounted on two wheels end
drawn by sturdy. Intoxicated Sibe-
rian horses. takes the place Of pipes
and faucets, filling his hogshead at 4
shallow well in some private or pub
lie yard, and retailing the commodity
at the rate Of two buckets a day for
month, for about 81 In American
money. He carries the buckets at the
end of pole over his shoulder. II one
can manage to live In reasonable COM
fort in Vladivostok, coolie boy can
be procured to bring water to ones
room, and heat 1t in the kitchen. Or
again, If the water vender has failed
to arrive, the coolie boy will gather
snow and melt 1t, and there is ones
morning bath. If one wants more gen.
erous ablution one goes to the public
baths; and IL one wants q drink Of
water one thoroughly boils the mer-
chandise Of the water vender before
drinking it. And this city Of the print
tive water supply is now the political
capital Of the far east.
