CLEVER SYSTEM OF SIGNALS

Herman war secrets are now being
uisciosed IN scientific literature. At

on secret-signal lights of spec,al

nothing would be present TO indicate
mat 'he light was sending out signals

optical device.
Different principles were empIoved
ior accomplishing this. In one of
them polarized light was to be sent
out by the signal, the character Of

with the dots and dashes of the code

method. glass screen containing com.

was arranged TO alternate in the beam
or light with another screen of suifable
shade. When the resulting light was
viewed with binoculars equipped with
prisms, black line would appear IN
the yellow region of the spectrum
formed whenever the didymium glass
was interposed. permitting the signals
to lie read. Another method consisted
IN nrst breaking up the light at the
source into spectrum across which
was placed one or more wires cutting

NEW TOY FINDS MUCH FAVOR
par'sIan Children Hail With Joy idsa
Which Has Been Imported
From Central Borneo.

The latest toy which Partisan chit
dren are buying, and which threatens
to diSplace the scooter In popular fu-
vor, is modern form of the old
"jumping stick"
The new jumping stick" which Is
called pogo" is more scientific than
Its predecessor, which was nothing
more elaborate than single silt with
two rests for the feet.
1t is made with an india rubber pad
and with strong spring. which ena-
bies its pOssesSor to take series of
leaps without jar.
The pogo was first found in use, in
a primitive form, among the Dyak na-
tives of central Borneo, who gave K
that name. 1t was a stick with a
cross-piece, on which certain favored
young men used to perform kind of
dance at sacrificial ceremonies.
AS the chiefs took charge of the
pogos after the ceremony, hiding them
until the next occasion for their use,
it was very difficult to obtain them,
but French traveller who saw the
dance in progress. described them on
his return to Paris. From his rough
sketch the new Paris toy has been
made.

"Mounties" In With Dominion Police

"Mounties" In With Dominion Police
Under an act of parliament the
Royal Northwest mounted police Of
Canada was merged with the Dominion
police May l, 1920, with Jurisdiction
throughout Canada, and known as the
Royal Canadian mounted police.
The Dominion police was small
body of men, the uniformed members
of which were employed largely in
guarding the parliament buildings, the
mint and other government structures
I'm Ottawa. To 1t was attached a
number Of highly trained experts,
skilled in dealing with international
criminals and their schemes, and hav-
ing knowledge of the finger print
system. These are now all members
of the Royal Canadian mounted
police, under the command Of Col. A.
Bowen Perry.
The force is now recruited to Its
prewar average of 1,200. Canadian
government officials hope soon to be
able to increase 1t far beyond that
number, but the domlnion's war debt
has to date made that impossible.
