with copper, from the neighborhood of
iron warships anchored in the harbor

nearly the whole of his time, according
to Electricity, to experiments with fly

is not only on the right track, but within

with planets of various . sizes and

When the eggs on the ostrich farms
of California are at the point of hatch
ing,, says. Charles F. Holder, a curious
tapping of the shells may be heard.
This the keepers call "telephoning."
The sound is caused by the chicks in

Those which cannot easily emerge are
assisted by the mother bird, which will
sometimes break an egg from which the
telephoning is heard by: pressing It
carefully, and will then aid the chick to
get out. . i At the Pasadena farm, the

NEW WAY OF STOPPING TRAINS.
Their Steam la Cut Off When Danger
ot Disaster la Ahead.
Judge Albion W. Tourgee, who Is now
consul at Bordeaux, France, writes to
the state department of a recent impro
vement open the "block system" on rail
roads designed by a French Inventor,
which, it is claimed, will greatly lessen
the danger of collisions on railways.
"The fact that the United States Is the
most profitable field for the exploitation
of useful Inventions," writes the judge,
"has taken a firm hold upon the inven
tive minds of other countries, and the
first thing a man does who has a novel
idea of any sort Is to seek to have it
patented in the United States. That
this is especially true of inventions
pertaining to railway appliances is only
natural when one contemplates the fact
that the United States, with its 183,000
miles of railway track, has six times
the mileage of any other country In the
world. ' ' "
- "French inventions are usually de
fective in the mechanical character of
the means by which tbe end sought to
be effected 1b attained. This is, no
doubt, due to the fact that so small i
proportion of the population have at'
practical mechanical knowledge. Al
most every man in the United States
knows the use of tools. Very many
who have no manual occupation are
fairly skilled workers, and those who
have - inventive tendencies are not
ashamed to devote their leisure time to
the acquirement of technical skill neces
sary to prepare their working models
and perfect their inventions. - In
France, on the contrary, such knowledge
Is considered derogatory to anyone in
the higher walks of life. A clerk will
not close a shutter nor dust off the top
of the desk at which he works, since
that Is the business of an 'ouvrier, nor
will a man who moves In good society
permit himself to be seen carrying a
package of any. sort along the street,
I "One result of this exclusive use . of
tools by laborers Is that French inven
tion usually has, . to an American, a
certain . sense of awkwardness in its
mechanical application. The idea may
be a good one, but there is very seldom
any of the handlness which one finds
in an American invention. In the many
eases of application for American pat
ents which come before me, I am almost
always struck by this lack of directness
of application, which leaves them open
to competition, thus destroying the value
of the invention " by improvement of
application of a principle. ;
. ."This does not apply to an Invention
by Pierre Taul Oulbert of Millau, depart
ineht of Aveyron, France, Intended to
prevent railway , collisions. ... It Is. in
effect, a simple and natural application
of the 'block system'; but. Instead of
merely displaying a signal at each end
of a section of track showing that tbe
same Is occupied, Mr. Guiberf s system
acts also on tbe engines - of the ' ap
proaching locomotives, and, by cutting
off steam automatically, brings the
train to a standstill.
' "As a preventive of head-on collisions
this invention would seem a positive
improvement on the block system,
through It Is quite possible that the In
creased cost of Installation may prevent
Its general adoption. .1 send inclosed a
set of drawings and a copy.of the speci
fications for his patent, which Mf .
Gulbert was kind enough to send me.
Whether his system is of practical im
portance or not; It serves to show how
the United States is regarded by the in
ventors of Europe, who make haste te
secure protection under our law, so as
to take advantage of the wonderful
market it opens to really meritorious
deklces." - "r C - ''
BREAD FOR HORSE FOOD. ' '
Liverymen in Mew York Find It Eco
nomical and Nourishing '
' . A delivery wagon of one of the big
breadbaking factories of York ville stop
ped in front of an uptown livery and
boarding stable yesterday morning and
two men at once unloaded barrels of
bread and carried them Into the stable.
The bread, looked good and was good.
There were all sorts and sizes of loaves
in the barrels "home-made," "rye,"
"Vienna," "potato," "graham" and "cot
tage." . -
The curiosity of a man who saw t'
bread being delivered to the stable w.
aroused and he ventured to ask . thi
proprietor of tbe stable what it ment.
"There's nothing remarkable about
It," said the proprietor, with a laugh.
"I simply buy it for horse feed. We
grind the bread up and mix it with
other feed and it makes first-class food
for horses.' It Is stale bread and costs
us 40 cents a barrel and there are fifty
or sixty loaves to the barrel, so you see
it comes pretty cheap. Some of the;
bread is only a day old and is good
enough for any man. to eat, but the
bread factories cannot sell it What
you see here are returned loaves from
the groceries. New York Pi-ess. . .. .
. God Needs the Help of Mother.-'
"The grave mistake of repressing
children," writes Barbetta Brown In the
Ladles' Home Journal, "is caused by
the mother's failure to be keen enough
to see where she may touch a child's
life and where she may not; where It la
for her to guide,' to help, to encourage,
and vwhere the chlld-llfe Is sacred tq
itself alone. That the child ,1s another?
Individual never occurs to some moth,
ers, nor that he has his own ? posslj
bilities for growth, not to be tampered
with; his-own. privacies, not to .be in.
vaded i his own 'holy of holies,'. to be
held holy. The Power that Is working
In the vast life of this universe Is work
ing in your son or daughter as part of
It; and it has Its own purpose in regard
to each child life as surely as for each,
planet In its orbit, God needs much
help from mothers, but God does not
intend to be effaced by 'mothers. . Co
operate, then, with the Power working
through your children, mothers. Do not
make the great mistake of attempting
to compete with It."
' Jews A Soldiers. .
The first wound inflicted during the
late Turco-Greek war was received by
a Jew. There are in the British army
700 Jews, 144 of them being officers.
France has 200 Jewish officers, amongst
whom are sereral brigadier-generals
and gen-r.iIo ofllviica; In Italy the
Jews hold high rank in the army.
Thus, the Commandant of the For
tress at Turin Is a Jew, Lieut-General
Ottolenghl. He is a persona gratissima
with King Humbert and was Chief of
the Italian Crown Prince's Brigade at
Naples. .

For peculiar marriage customs the
Negritos cannot be beaten. The young
man who seeks a bride first obtains the
favor of her parents and then pursues
her, catching her in his arms. She
breaks loose and runs, and does not
yield until he has caught her several
times. Finally he leads her in triumph
to her home. . Here the father drags
the youth up a ladder to the floor of
their hut. The mother drags up the
maiden. They are made to kneel, and
the father pours over them a cocoanut
shell full of water. He then bumps
their heads together, and the ceremony
is completed. They spend their honey
moon in the depths of the mountains;
and for five days and nights are lost to
sight, after which they come back to
everyday life. Then there is another
marriage custom. Instead of the
youth and maiden being dragged up
the hut ladder, they are made to
climb two sapplings that grow near
each other. Then an elder of the
group grasps the sapplings and draws
them together until the heads of the
young couple touch, with a kiss . or
bump, according to the force used.
This makes them man and wife. N.
Y. Press.
Perhaps the most trying experience
in the career of a maiden who has
passed the first blush of romantic girl
hood is when she braces herself to meet
the shock of a proposal of marriage
from some man, and the shock doesn't
come. Cincinnati Enquirer. '-

to which he has dedicated four years
of his life. ' Five years ago, when ' he
was 81, and in order to find an occu
