MESSAGE SENT AS WRITTEN
Transfer Original Handwriting
Over Cable System.

A wire and cable system. has been
invented, in Christiania. Norway. by
which 1t is possible to transfer pic
ture or a message In original hand
writing over q practically unlimited
distance. The device was publicly
tested recently between two 80O-mile
points, and was reported successful.
The manuscript to be transferred Is
placed on metallic cylinder-sOme-
what resembling an original wax
phonograph cyllnder-cOvered with a
Photographic film and exposed to
strong arc light. The manuscript is
copied on the cylinder film, developed
and chrOnographically etched into the
metal The cylinder is then placed on
the sending apparatus, to which Is
transmitted an electric current going
to the receiving apparatus. When the
cylinder rotates Il needle moves on 1t,
touching every point on the cylinder.
Whenever 1t touches the copied letters
OF the manuscript it causes short
circuit, which is transmitted to the
receiving apparatus with its photo
graphic paper on which the copy Is
reproduced.

How Ocean 10 RobbIns River.

curious result Of study Of the
Blue Ridge mountain region in North
Carolina and Virginia Is the showing
that the Atlantic la slowly gaining
some Of the waters that have hereto
fore flowed toward the Mississippi.
This arises from the fact that the
Blue Ridge, instead Of being acrest,
with strong slopes on each side, Is nm
escarpment separating a mountainous
upland on the southeast and the high
level headwaters of the streams that
flow toward the Mississippi are con-
tinually losing length by the retreat Of
the escarpment, through the retro
gresslve erosion OF the low-level head
waters of the Misunderstanding streams.
From practical point OF view, Of
course, the change is very slow.

FARMER AND GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Make Farm Only a
Suburb and Land Has lnereased
Greatly in Value.

The biggest booster for good roads
in the country today is the farmer.
A few years ago he felt that the por-
ton of his taxes used in the construc-
ton of permanent highways repre-
sented benefit only to the motoring
tourist and the city automobile owner.
The farmer argued that he was pay
Ing for their pleasures, and the result
was superstition against the good
roads movement, which. unfortunately,
has not as yet been entirely overcome
In some sections of the country.
Now, however, when the farmer
finds that his land has trebled In val
ue; when the merchandise for which
he has telephoned In the morning can
be delivered by noon Of the same day /;
when the market for his own produce
10 brought hours nearer; when the
winter and its following spring thaw
possess no terrors for him-all this
because of the improved highway
which makes his farm only n suburb.
as II were, of the nearest city-he
naturally becomes Woodworking
and hard-voting enthusiast for good
roads.-Leslie's.

How French Combat House Shortage

Parisians were startled recently
when they saw a small. two-story
house on wheels being hauled through
the city streets by motor car, the
Scientific American states. And they
were still more startled when the in
ventor invited them to inspect the in
terror, thus revealing surprisingly
large range OF accommodations for so
small domicile.
The house mounted on wheels while
being transported, consists Of four
rooms, including kitchen, heating
equipment. miniature staircase and
modern conveniences. The home is
eight feet wide and fifteen feet high,
but by means of telescoping walls, 1t
can be brought down to 91a feet In
height to facilitate transportation The
French government has ordered a CON
siderable number Of these portable
houses for the inhabitants of the dew
astated regions, inasmuch as they are
being turned out for 1895 complete.

Consider the Sun Dial.

At the very bottom of the rubbish
pile since April "a is the sun dial.
There was time when the sun dial
regulated the comings and the goings
OF mankind. The clock was new
idea which changed the worlds ideal,
and the sun dial was merely tolerated.
But the latest idea, daylight saving,
has wiped the sun dial from the pic
ture. No matter how 1t tries, it can
not bring itself into step with today.
II the sun dial could voice its pro-
test 1t would proclaim that 1t repre-
sents all that is stable In the universe.
The sun has marked the course for
ages. 1t would warn, and to deviate
from this must lead to destruction. It
would demand respect for its vested
right. Because the world would not
listen It would call the world awry.
The sun dial Is q standpatter.-MIl-

exceeded the total cars registered in
the whole OF the United States in 1910.
Furthermore. the revenues derived
from registra ion in the state of New
York In 1920 were about equal to the
entire registration revenues Of the
United States for 1913.
The use made of revenues has
changed with the passing Of years. In
1906 the total registrations were ap-
proximately $4,000 cars, paying n gross
revenue of about $4,000 (Arlzona in
1920 paid approximately this amount.)
In 1905 the gross registration revenues
were equal to less than three-tenths of
i per cent OF the total rural road and
bridge expenditures for that year.
The registration revenues in 1920
were equal to about 25 per cent Of the
total rural road and bridge eXpendi-
lures for the calendar year 1919. In
1906 practically none of the motor
vehicle revenues was applied to road
maintenance Or construction, while in
1920 So per cent, or u total of S9T ,997,-
1900. was used for this purpose. The
remaining 4 per cent not appsed to
road work was expended very largely
for number plates and in carrying out
the provisions of the motor vehicle
registration laws In the several states.
OF the total amount applied to road
work 10 per cent, or ST., 531 ,5S2.57
was expended under the control or
supervision of the several state high
way departments.
