TIME OF WILDCAT BANKS
Derived From Picture of Early
Day Notes.

The term "wildcats," today applied
to worthless securities of any descrip-
ton. was originally the name given
to certain banks in Michigan. Back
in 1887 there was a severe financial
panic, Many banks failed. The cur
rency which they had circulated be
came worthless, many bogus banks
started up and issued bank notes"
and the country was overrun with
swarm of counterfeiters. Banking and
business were demoralized and to
make matters worse, lax legislation
was passed in many states, permitting
almost any kind of financial robbery
in the name of banking.
Such was the case in Michigan,
where 40 banks were started under
law of fraudulent character. These
banks were called "wildcats' because
the bank notes issued by them bore
a picture of that animal. All but four
of these failed within two years. hence
the term wildcat" to denote a very
insecure financial obligation

VOICE WITH FIVE OCTAVES
Austrian Utters Notes Whose Vibra-
tons Range From az Up to
1,74O in a Second.

At a recent meeting of the Austrian
society of experimental phonetics in
Vienna, Doctor Rethi presented
Michael Prita, age fortyfour, whose
voice possesses the remarkable range
Of five complete Octaves.
The deepest note uttered by this sing
er was a bass f corresponding to AZ
vibrations per second and two octaves
lower, therefore, than the deepest note
which can be produced on the violin.
The only previous record of so low
a tone in the human voice is that Of
a bass singer named Fischer, who lived
in the early part Of the Eighteenth
century. Prita also rendered upper G
with it's full artistic value.
Beyond that the notes passed into
the head register and into a falsetto
resembling soprano, says the Eng
lish Mechanic quoted in the Scientific
American. The highest notes emitted
were the upper f (demi-semi-quaver)
and on exceptional occasions upper A
mi-semi-quaver) corresponding to
Ito vibrations per second which is
one note higher than the highest sung
by Patti.

An investigation is being made as to
the truth of an Arab assertion that
dogs cannot follow the trail Of a naked
person. A number of writer's vouched
for the correctness of the contention
and proffered the results of their own
experiences. One of the letters re-
ceived was from a French officer who
had spent many years among the
Arabs. He says in his letter: "Once.
when found myself with a moving
column in Morocco, a sentry of mine
was stabbed no farther than 80 feet
from my tent by three Arabs, who
came in the night, entirely naked,
wishing to steal gun. Two very
good watch dogs lay in my tent, but
neither moved; and there were other
dogs in the camp, but all were per
fectly still as the Arabs came and
went" The writer of the letter ar
CUES that this fact proves the point,
but adds that Arabs themselves de-
clare they are unable to explain it.

CONSCIENCE ON PHONE WIRE
How Philandering Employer Was
Rather Rudely Disturbed by an
Unexpected Call.

A New York lawyer, gazing idly out
of his window, saw the pretty stenog-
rapher across the street sitting in her

the lettered name on the window and
then searched in the telephone book.
Still keeping his eye upon the scene
across the street he called the gentle
man up, says Judge. In a few mo-
ments he saw him start violently and
take down the receiver. Yes" said
the lawyer through the phone, II
should think you would start"
The victim moved his arm from its
former position and began to stammer
something.
Eyes" continued the lawyer severe
ly 81 think you'd better take that
arm away. And while you're about it,

The victim brushed the lady from
his lap, rather roughly.

way?" he managed to splutter.

impressive tones, Jam your CON
science" and then he hung up.

BUOYS ALL HAVE A MEANING
About Forty Different Types Used to
Guide and Warn
Ships.

When you are at the seaside stand
on the beach and look out to sea- You
will, no doubt, notice a number of
buoys bobbing up and down in the wa
ter. In all there are about 40 different
types, and to the ordinary person they
all seem to mean the same, but if you
get hold Of an "old salt" and ask him
for their meanings, you will be sur
prised with the host Of interesting in
formation he will give you.
He will tell you that a green-painted
buoy marks a wreck. A deep-water
channel is often marked by 20 or more
buoys.
sounds d person can wish to hear Is
the mufiled tollirg Of bell buoy on
a wild night when the sea is very
rough. Stand on the shore, or at the
end of the pier, and you will hear it
quite distinctly wien the wind drops
for a moment.
Then there is the gas bell buoy.
Highly compressed gas is stored in
the base of the buoy, and is forced up
by pipes into lantern. There are
lenses that help to add briliance to
the light. which flashes out it's warn
ing day and night until all the gas is
used. The usual time of retilling Is
about a fortnight
There is also an anchor buoy which
looks like a barrel on the water. 1t is
filled with cork, and is anchored to the
sandy bed of the sea. This buoy is
intended to warn ships not to cast
anchor in the vicinity, there being a
cable laid near-London Tit-Bits.

Romance of Stolen Mail BAD.

The English post Office department
maintains an official of the nature of
a historian whose duty is, among 9th
er things, to collect and record vari-
GUS data about the service. One of
the most curious exhibits of the de-
partment is time-worn oil-canvas
mail bag-a Renaissance of daring
mail robbery. This bag is over 100
years old, and was forcibly taken 10y
an armed footpad one evening in Feb
ruary, 1898, from the pOstboy who
was carrying the mails between York
and Selby A reward was offered for
the apprehension of the robber, but no
trace of him or the mail bag was found
until nearly eighty years later The
discovery then came about in a most
singular manner. In 1876 an old way
side inn was being demolished at
Churchill near Selby and in the raft
ers the workmen found, among other
things, the long-lost mail bag, it hav-
ing evidently been hidden there by the
highwayman of 1893, after being de
spoiled of its contents.

The Mississippi river misbehaves in
spring, as residents near it know to
their cost. It's waters spread out
far and wide over the adjacent coun-
try, and millions of fish go with them.
Soon the stream subsidies, and these
fish are left to die, as the shallow
pools that are formed by the reced-
ing waters dry up or freeze The
service sends out SEEMING parties,
which follow down the diminishing
river and rescue the fish from the
pools and either restore them to the
stream or distribute them to other
waters. In 1919 more than 10O,0O0,OO0
fish were thus saved. Twenty fish
hatcheries could not produce fish
equal in number and size to those
rescued. Their cash value at the
rates charged by commercial hatch
cries exceeds the total appropriations
of the COVE; nment for the fish cul-
tural service. William c. RedGeld in
The Outlook.
