DANGER IN TELEPHONES

That a telephone may. cause a mine explosion has been determined by experiments conducted by the bu- reau of mines. It is not the small current of electricity carried by the phone wires that does the mischief. The magneto is responsible. Gas enters the telephone box and the ringing of the magneto is liable to cause its ignition. Officials of the bureau of mines rigged a telephone inside of a closed chamber filled with a mixture of air and gas, and made an arrangement whereby the ringer could be operated from the outside. Tn a series of trials a number of explosions were produced. The first turn of the crank did it in one instance.

MEASURING SEA DEPTH

The destroyer Stewart, equipped with the sonic range finder, used for sounding st sea, has made prac- tical test trip from Newport to Gibraltar. The new method is close ly related to radio, depending on the transmission of sound waves through water, and is employed to measure depths of the ocean. Soundings are made by measuring the length of time required for sound oscillations sent out from the ship to travel to the bottom of ths ocean and back again.
 soundings were taken at regular intervals without stopping the ship, and indicated depths from 90 ta 2,500 fathoms.

PARlSIAN HAS ARREST STAMP
Issued by British Guiana in Emer- gency, 1t Has Long Been Sought
 by Collectors.

The rarest stamp in the world, ac- cording to philatelists, is the one- cent British Guiana of 1856, recent ly put up for sale in Paris by the French government for liquidation of sequestrated property. Wealthy stamp lovers of many nationalities vied with each other for possession of the unique specimen.
 It was produced in the colony to meet an emergency demand brought about by the nonarrival of an ex- pected consignment of the regular series from England. It is com posed of ordinary printers type with the figure of a sailing ship in the center. Above and below this device is set in type the motto of British Guiana: "Damsuus Petimus- que Vicissim." The whole is in- closed in a rectangular frame with the inscription, British Guiana Postage" and the value in words on the outside. For better security each stamp was personally initialed by the postmaster, and was printed on surface colored paper.
 Not until IF years later was this present solitary specimen brought to light by a London collector and he. failed to appreciate its impor- tance so much that he sold it for few shillings. Eventually it reached the famous collection of Baron van FerrarY, its last owner.

BAD BACK TODAY?

Backache is usually kidney ache and makes you dull, nervous and tired. Use Doan's Kidney Pills for weak kidneys-the rem edy recommended by your friends and neighbors. ASK your neigh Dor!
 Chas. A. Mulvenon, GurIey 6 Granite Sts., Prescott, Arizona, says: Il was a railroad man for several years and being continu- ally shaken up on the trains put my kidneys outof order. My back was so lame, could hardly go. Bending over was impossible and when tried it. sharp pains would catch me in my back. My kid. neys were badly disordered. They acted unnaturally. l certainly felt out of sorts when began us- ing Doan's Kidney Pills, but they soon fixed me up in good shape. 1 always can recommend Doan's, because 1 know they are all right. :"

were tho life insurance policies. In
