CLEVER SYSTEM OF SIGNALS
Mere IngSniOus Scheme Than That cSntsmpIAtsd by Germans Prsh-
 ably Never Was Devised.

German war EeeE6fS are now being disclosed in scientific literature. At the close of the conflict the Germans ip their laboratories were working on secret-BiKnal lights of special character. To the ordinary observer nothing would be present to indicate that the light was sending out signals, but changes would be going on which would be apparent to an, observer equipped to view it with a suitable optical device.
 Different principles were employed for accomplishing this. In one of them polarized light was to be sent out by the signal, the character of which would change in accordance with the dots and dsshes of the code. When viewed through properly ft- red binoculars, the color would no longer be white but would alternate between red and green. In another method, . glass screen containing com pounds of the rare element didymium was arranged to alternate in the beam of light with another screen of suitable shade. When the resulting light was viewed with binoculars equipped with prisms, 8 black line would appear in the yellow region of the spectrum formed whenever the didymlum glass was interposed, permitting the signals to be read. Another method consisted in first breaking up the light at the source into a spectrum across which was placed one or more wires cutting out narrow regions of color, and these were arranged to be moved back and forth a short distance along the spec rum in signaling. The colOrs were then recombined into white light and transmitted. With binoculars provided with suitable prisms to reform the spectrum, the signal was perceived in the motion of dark bands back and forth along the spectrum, correspond ing to the movement of the wires at the transmitting station. One inn pOrtant application of this method of signaling would be at sea.-PopulRr Mechanics Magazine.

A pin-mOney career, for one Phila- delphia woman, was the outcome of her refusal to drill some children for an Easter program. On previous &C., casiOns she had thrust upon her" the responsibility of planning and prepar- ing various kinds of entertainments, home-talent plays, cantatas, etc., fer different organizations. As this work required much time and strength, she was offered remuneration for her Serv- ices and accepted the, money. Now
 she has work ahead in that line all the year round. She assumes the reSponsi- hility of miscellaneous programs, plays. etc, for Sll ages, for Sunday schools. lodges, clubs, etc. She Arranges time and place of practice, and assigns parts to each one in drills. plays, dia- lsEues, cantata, solo, duet, quartette, chorus, etc. Superintendent in the schools often call on her to help in such lines, and various organizations of the city. Much of the work, as the practicing, iB done in her own home. She receives from 20 to 40 cents an hour.

The cut in appropriations, made nscOs- sary by the decreased contributions means that twenty-five thousand equal ly helpless children now on our door step must be refused admission and turned into the streets to perish of cold and hunger. There can be no other fate than that awaiting them. We are their only help and support.
