We have heard much, hut what of that j

make a good servant and a reliable

travel In all weather, can carry a
heavy load 5. 10, 20 or 75 miles, brooks

Is a little short of an act of folly to

Every one Is familiar with the sys
tem of collecting and receipting cus
tomers' payments Jn big shopa. The
money Is put Into balls which roll
along skeleton tubes to the cashier's
desk, where they are unscrewed, the
money taken out and the ball sent roll

Here 1.8 an army of messengers, each
of whom Is a rolling ball. Do not
think thnt my suggestion that shMls
should bo used likewise Is altogether
new.
When a brigade Is "going over th?
top" one of the gun teams of the
Stokes mortar battery Is sometimes
told oft" for a "ins sterious purpose."
They havo been nttached, with their
gun, to headquarters, and supplied
with a strango-looktng kind of shell
that unscrews to receive messages,
which they lire to battalion headquar
ters across the barrage. The shell con
tains a smoke cartridge, and when It
falls the stream of smoke shows the
position so that the battalion signal
ers can dash from their covyr to pick
It up. 1
This method was Improvised to meet
certain 'contingencies; It contains, how-'
ever, the. possibilities of infinite exten
sion and elaboration. Instend of the
casual Stokes gun, Imagine that we
arc, going to use a 9.2 howitzer, which
is accurate to a yard in 12 miles? so
accurate Indeed that, a shell could be
depended upon to arrive at the ap
pointed spot without the aid of a
smoke stream to advertise its position

Air Current to Grade Coal.
An interesting method of grading
fine coal by means of an air current
Is In use at an English colliery. The
coal Is delivered to the wnshery by a
bucket elevator and discharged onto
shaking screens. Tfye grading appa
ratus Is fixed Immediately over the
delivery chute of the elevator, the
mixed coal allowed to flow over a
hinged weir plate. Immediately, under
this plat?. Js an orlfi'cd through which
a powerful current of" Air Is -drawn
by means of a centrifugal- fan. -The
size of the opening Is- capable of ad
justment by means of a sliding plate.
The -passing stream of coal is brought
nearer to or kept farther from the
section by adjusting the hinged weir
plate, so that any desired proportion
of small coal can be drawn off. A
deflecting plate is fitted into the re
ceiver, which serves to throw the
"larger pieces of coal to the bottom;
the fine dust, passing with the air
. through the fan, is finally collected In
cyclone separators.
Sir Douglas Halg's Popularity.
The prime factor in Sir Douglas
?-Haig's great popularity among the
British armies was undoubtedly the
interest he always showed in the boy
soldiers. During the many inspections
In France It was the invariable prac
tice of nearly all generals ? Kitchener
and French included ? to hurry along
the ranks until they came to the old
soldiers with the rows of campaign
"ribbons" on their breasts. Sir Douglas
Haig always singled out the youngest
boys for his attention. You could see
them flush and stammer and straight
en up with pride at being noticed by
the commander in chief. Nor did he
ever omit In these early days his spe
cial word of thanks "to all those who
have left their benches, shops, and
offices to help us professional soldiers
to see It through."
Incidence of Flu.
An Interesting example of the inci
dence of influenza was given by 8lr
St. Clair Thomson. In a sanitarium
for consumptives seven miles from
the nearest town there was an ont
break of influenza. There were 100
consumptives and about 100 on the do
mestic^ staff. Among those of the con*
sumptives who caught the disease none
had any complications, and none died;
several of the cases among the staff
proved fata). Sir St Clair Thomson
said that the consumptives probably
escape because the systems were
already organized to fight disease and
they could be considered in the same
position as vaccinated people.
