British Military Authorities Forgot tho
Humble Printer In Deelre to Pre
serve War Secrets.
?
Tli?? marquis of Hartlngton tells no
episode from the war days when the
spy sea re whs at Its height, according
to a writer hi the Halifax Chronicle.
Certain confidential information that
the military authorltiea wanted to keep
absolutely secret was sent round by
trusted couriers In locked dispatch
boxes, with elaborate precautions of
algnlng and countersigning and check
ing every stage. No one below the
rank of major general was * entrusted
with the knowledge, and even these
were hound by tremendous oaths of
secrecy.
After a time It wan found that these
weighty documents, which were circu
lated in printed form, were being set
up by ordinary printers, who were un
der no obligation to preserve' 'secrecy,
and. In fact, took no precautions what
ever against leakage. However, noth
ing did leak out. but the military man
darins. it Is said, shuddered when they
realized the risks that had been run.
Getting Ready for Channel Tunnel.
The gigantic task of moving back
the railway station platforms through
out the Great Northern system to al
low the passage of continental trains
Alien the channel tunnel Is opened has
been begun, the Dally Mall Is In
formed.
'"Khc work of making the stations
to fit the trains will take several
years," said an otlicial. "It means tlrtit
every platform In both freight and'
passenger stations will have to be al
tered."
? The distance the platforms are be
ing set back Is two Inches. This will
allow a good clearance for the con
tinental sleeping cars, and also the
larne freight cars.
The "gauge" (the distance between
the falls) of the continental trains Is
roughly half an Inch wider than the
Rrltlsh standard, but the shaping of
the trend of the wheels makes It pos
sible for trains of both British and
continental system to run on the same
track without risk of accident.
When He Died, He Died All Over.
"Doggone!" said Jesse Ksehhnch,
chief examiner for the state board of
accounts, as he read one of the let ten
In his mall. "Here Is one."
The letter told of a man who had
paid his dog tnx to the township as.
sessor and the ungrateful cur had gon*

sessor bad turned In his books to the
county assessor and the Inquirer
wished to know whether there was any
way to get hack the dog tax. ?
' "The rrncl low," Mr. Kschbach will
reply, "states that taxes are paid on

"That'll raise a howl !" he added

pnrt unknown, and, unfortunately,
adroit thtfyes nil- im??. To dtfnid his
most costly treasures the native ruler
had to resort 10 some means In har
mony with the natural cinnmHiaiMca
of the country.
Armed guards he could not fully
truKt. Animal* do not steal money,
and nature had supplied The ruler with
a creature that could not he wheedled
nor killed except with u grout deal of
trouble. The crocodile la i?cb an ani
mal. The ruler would have the croco
dile guard hlti specie reserve. *
Yet to avail himself of the services
of the crocodile he must keep bis
money lu a place where crocodile* are
at home. Nothing wax more simple,
In the interior of his palace the ruler
caused to he const rueted a large tank
or basin, which he kept filled with
water. Then he took several teak logs.
Which he had bored with holes,' and
Into ihese he put his specie reservo of
gold and silver. The holes were closed
up and the logs put Into the tank.
Then some crocodiles of the largest
and fiercest description were Installed
In the tank and maintained there ? not
being fed, however, with such a super
fluity as to Interfere with their natu
ral ferocity. Any person who should,
undertake to reach the trensure-laden
logs woUld- surely be eaten by the
crocodiles. And any one* who should
undertake to put the sauriftns out of
the way would have to make noise
enough to attract the attention of the
human guards and of the ruler him
self. for he, by Autism custom, Is re
quired to remulft /very closely in his
palace.
At any rate the royal crocodile treas
ury has never been robbed ? and it
cannot biirn.
Woman "CalJSd" Enver Pacha. 0 !
Knyor Tasini, the most autocratic |
ami arrogant of the committee of un- |
Ion and progress, was obliged to listen \
to protests of Turkish women |
, against the large nutnber of casualties |
iu- the I>arfliinelles and llagdad cam- ,
palgns. He called together the be- j
re a veil mothers and reminded them j
that their sons were among the faith
ful in paradise, and that they should
be proud and pleased to be the moth
ers of such brave patriots.
One poor 'mother, lient with age and
beyond caring for herself, dared to cry
back to the man more feared by Turk
and Christian alike than anyone else In
the empire: "Mnrshallah, effendl (May
it please <?od, your excellency), that
your mother n^ay soon have this same
j pride and pleasure thiwt we have." ?
Harnett Miller, in Asia.
The Modern "Washlady."
The wash-woman problem Is a diffi
cult one these days, all housekeepers
will agree. Hut one Columbus family
has more to worry about than some of
the rest.
Several days ago their wash was
late in coming back from the "wash
lady" and when she finally did come
with the clothes, in answer to the
question as. to why she was late, she
stated: ?
"Wei/, you see we have a new au
tomobile and the weather has been
so nice that we have been taking mo
tor trips ever* day." .
Now the, housewife Is wondering
what will happen to her washing when
summer come'*. It Is of further Inter
est 'to explah'i that the j>oor woman,
who Is trying to have her washing
done owns no automobile. ? Columbus

Electricity to Thaw Ground.
The electric ground-thawing device
used iu Alaskan railroad building has
the form, of a hollow steel pile. This
has a sharpened steel point at one end
and a solid steel driving head nt the
other, and the hollow body contains
a suitable resistance coll. The point
ed tube is driven like any pile Inte
the frozen, ground to the required
depth. Connection Is then made with
a power transmission line through a
portable transformer mounted on a
sledge and a low-volt Current of high
amperage Is passed through the coll.
The heat soon thaws the surrounding
ground sufficiently for driving a wood
, en pile.
Utilizing Wood Wakte.
The utilization of wood waste la i
one way recommended to cut down
the high cost of living. Here are
some articles made from sawdust and
shingle waste which the New York
College of Forestry is exhibiting In
Its efforts to sho.w how the waste of
the sawmill can be utilized to cheap
en the cost of living. "Silk" socks,
sausage casings,,- phonograph records,
paper milk bottles and tanbark
shingles. The "silk" looks like silk
and feels like silk, but Is much cheap
! er than silk. The sausage casings are
; made by treating the wood with chem
l icals that turn it into \ iseose, and
I rolling this Into thin films.
