The Dianemoloqo.

This singular name is given by the
inventor, Eduardo Torresty Quevedo,
Spaniard, to an apparatus intended
to take the place of stenography in
reporting speeches. The apparatus
which consists simply of a series of
little bells, requires the cooperation Of
eight or ten writer's. Each writer
takes single phrase from the speak
er's mouth. At the tinkle of bell on
his left he begins to write what he
hears. The bell on his right arrests
him and sets his neighbor at work.
BY the time the circuit is made the
first writer is ready for another
phrase Afterward the phrases, which
are numbered in their order of taking,
are reunited to form the entire report.
Tried at the Athenee, in Madrid, the
dianemologo is said to have given sat
isfactory resuIts.-W Washington Star.

You will perhaps remember that
when Dewey got through with the
Spanish warships in Manila bay, about
the only one left of any value was the
Isla De Luzon, small gunboat which
the navy refitted and used effectively
in the archipelago for some sears. Last
winter / saw her in one of the shall
low harbors of the West Indies The

song to some skipper who had refitted
her as a wrecking boat and was living
on her with his family among a small

treasury as there are, it would be nom

ment, but 1 felt something of a pang

NAMED BY EARLY voYAGERS
Venezuela So Called Because spanlards
Saw Certain Degree OF Re-
semblance to Venice.

Columbus while cruising in the Gulf
of Paria, on the coast of Venezuela,
during his third voyage, caught
glimpse for the first time of the west
ern hemisphere Since he was i'll with
the govt, and his eyes troubled hira,
he did not go ashore; but as he lay
in his cabin his mind was full of great
imaginings. He was convinced that he
had discovered the Garden of Eden.
At the first opportunity, says an Eng
fish writer he sent a messenger to
Spain, announcing the great news. Ctle
effect of the dispatch was to cause an
old cOmrade, AlOnzo de 0jeda, to set
out at once for the new land. He did
not go with a hallowed wish to gaze
upon the tree of life, but to make
money; for Columbus had said that
pearls were to be found in the region,
and perhaps seeds of the apple that
Eve had eaten.
With 0jeda sailed Amerigo Vespuc-
ci. Skirting the coast of the mainland
upon their arrival in the gulf, they
reached placid bay where the natives
had built their huts on piling in the
water Their little village reminded
Vespucci of Venice; so they called the
place Venezuela or little Venice, and
the name gradually came to be applied
not merely to the village but to the
whole region, and became the name Of
the country.

RIVER III PLACE OF A SWAMP
Remarkable uPheaval Said to Be With
out Precedent in History Of
British East Africa.

The bursting Of a swamp 90 miles
from Nairobi. writes the London Daily
Mail correspondent, is without preet-
dent in the history of the British oe-
cupation of Kenya colony, formerly
British East Africa. Where once was
placid swamp covered with papyrus
grass, there is now a permanent valley
with turbulent river, flowing down
the center.
In the swamp was floating papy-
rus mattress many feet thick and with
about 20 feet of water beneath. EN-
bankments were made and bridge
erected carrying the road across the
swamp, and when the Thika railroad
was constructed a substantial bridge
was also erected across this swamp
at a point a few hundred yards below
tie road bridge.
Now many srdare miles of swamp
water have been released. The effect
was hreak-up Of the papyrus like the
smashing of log jam. The weight Of
the water wiped out the main and
minor road bridges and seriously dam
aged the railway bridge, cutting off
from civilization the whole of the huge
agricultural area of the Kenya prov
ince around Mount Kenya.
Earthquake shocks We're experienced
In this district recently, and the theory
of the government officials is that these
caused the sudden collapse of the
support of the swamp, that support
probably taking the form of rocky
roof of huge underground caverns.
No floods below the valley are re-
ported, and the volume of water must,
therefore, have gone underground leay-
ing behind a new and unexplored
declivity many miles long, which may
be the resting place Of minerals or re-
mains of scientific Importance.

indian EmeraId MInes located.

The Conquistadores, when they
seized the rich emerald mines of Co
lombia, forcing the native Indians
to work them, suspected the existence
of other mines. After q search of
three years In Colombia, Christopher
Dixon, engineer for the Colombian En-
erald syndicate, says he has located
some of the ancient mines hidden from
the profteering Spaniards by the ma
tiyes.
The emeralds OF Colombia are the
finest, but not the biggest, in the world,
and the country produces more than
all the rest Of the world combined.
The recently rediscovered mines, Mr..
Dixon said, are about two ard half
days journey from Bogota.

TO STUDY FLIGHT or BIRDS
Students Of Aviation Seek to solve
Riddle of the Aibatross snd
Other "Soarers"

Students of aviation are trying to
solve the riddle of how the albarross
and other great e'soarers make EFFORT
less flight without wing beats.
Special investigation of this phe-
noinenon will be made during the mo-
torless flying carnivais in France, Ger
many and Switzerland.
All birds which have this wonderful
power of gliding here and there with
motionless outstretched wings are
alike in one respect Underneath their
widespread wings, as they extend them
II soaring, are clearly marked trans
verse ridges.
what purpose those underneath-wing
rays or ridges serve is, at present, a
mystery; but the significant fact is
that all great soarers have them.
whereas birds which do noe soar, but
move only by constant wing beats,
have no such ridges.
An ingenious theory is that by means
of these ridges the birds focus, or
compress, wind eddies as they sweep
beneath the wings, and so manage to
extract not only an upward lift" but
also a propulsiye effort from them.
Another explanation is that the bird
is able TO vibrate its apparently mo-
tionless wing, so that the transverse
rays accelerate the wind aow under
the wing and obtain a reaction which
drives the bird forward without any
visible wing effort.

PRACTICAL PEACE PROGRAMS

It is possible that success of the
Central American conference called
to meet in Washington early in De-
cember may lead to a plan for cuts
in the worlds armies. Invitations
have been sent to the five Central
American republics to discuss the
limitations resulting from the arma-
ments conference Of last November.
They have accepted, and the admin
istration is confident that substan-
tial progress will be made toward
permanent peace on the western hem-
isphere. With the conference as an
example fresh in the minds of the
world, it is considered likely that the
United States will take the initiative
in calling a similar meeting of old
world governments. 1t may be that
eventually a world association for the
settlement of disputes by arbitration
with consequent reduction of land
ornaments, may be realized.

MEXICO ITS HOME
Domestic Species of Turkey Had
Origin There.
Thanksgiving Bird, So Well and "a.
vorabiy Known To-day, Never Of
the Wild Speclea

At this time Of the year when the
feasting holidays are here, almost
everyone thinks of turkey, which also
took an important part in the first
Thanksgiving Of the Puritans, the
founders Of Thanksgiving as we know
1t today. Little is known Of the early
history of the domestic turkey. Writers
of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth cen
turtles seem to have been ignorant
about 1t, and to have regarded it as
the %guineafowl OF pintadO of the an
clients, a mistake which was not
cleared up until the middle of the last
century, says q writer in the New
York Sun.
The name it now bears, and which
1t received in England where it is re-
puted to have been introduced in. 1541,
was given 1t from the superstition that
it came originally from Turkey. AS
far back as 1873 we read of it as
having been the Christmas fare of the
sturdy British yeOmanry.
Came From Mexican Fowl.
Audubon, n of the early pioneers
Of American OrnithOlogy, supposed OuI
common barnyard turkey to have orig
mated in the wild bird so prevalent
in the eastern half of the United
States. But it has always been a mat
ter of surprise to naturalIsts that thu
latter did not assimilate, by inter
breeding and reversiOn, more intimate
~ in color and habits to the domestic
form. No suspicion, until recently
appears to have been entertained tina
the two birds might belong to differ
ent species.
Our common wild turkey, once 81
plentiful in Pennsylvania and New
York, is now restricted to the NOR
eastern and southern portions of tn
