The letters of the alphabet were ar ranged In live columns, so that any letter could be designated by stating In what column It was contained and Its number In that column. To convey this Inrormntlmi to a distance two men. each having five torches, wero stationed behind two barricades; tho llrst. by holding up the necessary uuin her of torches, Indlcutcd' the number of the column that contained the let ter he was sending and the second In illcateil similarly the actual numerical plnce of the letter In that column.

Without stopping to exploro a pos sible connection between Mr. Km dak's experience nml the fact that he had Just been to Philadelphia, let us consider the enso of Itnymond Ilont ley, recently reported from Omaha.

Hut setting out for the church ho camu to another church where ii wedding was In progress.

TOO MUCH EVEM FOR IMAGES Statues on -British Parliament Build ings Unable to 8tand Awful Climate of London. Tho outer walls of the houses of parliament In Loiidon aro crumbling. Hundreds of carved Images, mostly of Imnglnnry royal figures, have been un able to withstand the ravages of the weather, combined with the smoke laden London ntmosphere. They suffer also from the lack of respect shown them by hundreds of pigeons which roost on the scepter and sharpen their beaks on the noses of kings.

Sir John Qllmour, who represents tho government department that looks after public buildings, Is of tho opinion that none of the kings or other ulstin gulshcd folk will bo allowed to stick It out much longer on tho outer walls of parliament.

Thomas I. Bayard. Daifay and Joan, "Darby and Joan" was first applied to a very happily married couple who lived In the Eighteenth century and bore those names. They ware John Darby, printer, of Bartholomew's Close, London, England, and his wife, Joan. The constancy and deyotlon to ono another of this old-fashioned, sim ple, and virtuous couple so impressed Henry Woodfall, who had served his apprenticeship with the printer, that he wroto a poem, "Darby aad Joan," in commemoration. This poem was printed In the London Oentleruun's Magazine, and received a good deal of notice. The expression then passed Into the Kngltsh language as symbolis ing the eventide of happy wedlock. Big Demand for Radluii. The principal use for radium In the commercial world Is as a luminous material on watch and clock dials and o on.
