MANY FAIRIES IN GREEN ISLE Idea That the Gnomes Have Di*> appeared Is Declared to Be Altogether erroneous. Tnere still are fairies in Ireland, de clares the Ulster Folklore, which ex plains by saying: To many, perjoaps. this statement will,be really news. Of coarse, anyone who has never taken any interest in the matter at al< kn>*ws that, in the days gone by there were plenty of them from one end of the - green isle to the other?are not their old haunts, the thorn bushes. t)mr rathst, forts, coves and souterrnines still to be found in every corner of Ireland just as they have existed since time out of mind? But it has been the general belief that the fairies themselves lone ago. In one fashion or another, had for saken or been driven from their se cret places, the last hegira being placed at as modern a period as the m'ddle of the nineteenth century?the night of the big wind, in fact when they were all .supposed Jlo have been blown into the sea with the exception of a few that landed in Scotland. The error of that belief, however, has been scientifically ascertained in a series of investigations pursued by Miss Elizabeth Andrews, F. R. A. L, for a decade or so. ? "The belief is general." Miss An drews says, "that these littie people were at one time very numerous ? throughout the country, but have now disappeared from many of their for mer haunts. At Ballrnahinch I was told they had been blown away 50 years ago by a great storm, and the caretaker at Killevy said they had gone to Scotland. They are, however, supposed still to inhabit the more re-! mote parts of the country, and the old \ people have many stories of fairy vis itors and of what happened in their own youth and in the time of their fathers and grandfathers." . - WAS PIONEER IN WIRELESS James Bowman Lindsay, Scottish En gineer, Has Not Been Given the Credit He Deserv es? - j Little is heard about James Bowman Lindsay, and much about wijeless te legraphy, yet the career of the one and the history of the other are. insepara ble, says the Christian Science Moni tor. Upwards of sixty years ago Bow man Lindsay operated ? system across the River; Tay, a distance ef~one and a half miles, just above the bridge the construction of which ranks as one of the most notable feats in engineering. His efforts failed to attract attention at the time, however, because of his retiring disposition, but the history of electrical research records few names j more deserving of respect than his. He "^ifras"'TV pioneer in the application of electricity for heating and lighting purposes and bespoke a, great future for it . Apropos of Bowman Lindsay, as he was familiarly known, it is interesting to note that" his energies Were not wholly directed to the advancement of the mechanical,arts. He was a lin guist and;as such started out to trans late the Bible into many different Ian v guages. Seven years' labor was ex pended on the task, ?net the work was far from being finished when it had to be abandoned. The" B|hlet. in incom plete form, may: still be seen in the *..

It lies open in a glass case and shows that the method employed was.to'di- i ' vide the book into the requisite num- j ber of columns Jand in- each column place the words in English and tfieir j equivalent in each language into which | they were translates Dangerous Counterfeit. The most expert means of counter feiting American greenbacks has been discovered by the state police in the Adirondacks lumber camps, where 5201, $50 and $100 n!>tes were beinz dupli ' '' cated. Banking experts have pro nounced them the most clever counter feits in existence. The information now in the hands of the state police is to be turned over to the United States department of jus tice. The secret of the device is a ma chine which is capable of splitting, the thin note paper on which American notes are engraved and permitting the , face and back of the note to be. stripped fr<?m each other. JVaxed pa- i per is then laid over each half of th.ej note and a solution applied to trans- j fer enough of rhe. original ink to the J waxed paper to make an exact dupllS cate of the note. The waxed sections to which '.he ink has been transferred are then pasted to Tlrv opposite half of'the good note and in this way two' bank notes exactly alike are produced, j Malines Carillons Busy.

ANOTHER OF WAR'S RESULTS Direct Connection Traced Between Great Conflict and the Annoyii^j Scarcity of Laundresses. This is from Alexandria, our neigh boring city down the Potomac. Housekeepers there are having quite a time getting "help," especially some one to do the faniily wash. The ne j cessity for clean clothes is one which i devolves upon civilized beings. Wars I may come and wars may go, but the I washtub and washboard go on forever. But it has been hard to get a laun dress .in Alexandria. War-time condi tions have enabled many who earned their living at the tub to turn to less arduous pursuits, with the result that there.is a scarcity, of "wash ladies." The condition is one paralleled in many other cities. "Aunt Lucy," said one Alexandrian woman, addressing a colored woman whom she had known for many years, "don't you know some one who can do my washing?" "No, ma'am I don't know, no one," she said. The woman made a last attempt. "Won't you do it for me, Aunt Lucy?" she asked, with a winning I smile, "'Deed, chile," said. Aunt Lucy, "I don't have to do no washing no more." "Why?" asked the woman. 1 "Well, honey, hit is jes like this," explained. Aunt Lucy with a nice dis tinction: "De Civil war made us free And dis here wort' war has made us 1 independent."?Washington Star. EAGER TO SEE ELEPHANT First One That Was Brought to the United States Aroused the Ut most Curiosity. Nowadays, when snmmer, in the ? United States would hardly seem itself without -the coming of a" circus, it is difficult to realize the excitement aroused by the first exhibition of an elephant. A nownforgotten showman, Hackaliah Bailey, is said to have im ported the first elephant nearly a hun dred years ago, and the animal was a whole shpw in himself. The circus tent had not yet come into being, and the elephant was shown in barns in the Eastern states that then held the bulk of the population. To prevent the public from seeing the show without charge, the elephant traveled from place to place in the night ; but even so, the public refused to be wholly* cir cumvented, and small companies gath ered with bonfires ready to light when the strange creature came lumbering past on his way to the next town.. Sometimes, however, the management defeated this intention by sending along the road a horse built up to look like an elephant in the dark, and when the bonfire had been lighted and had burned out, the real elephant followed. ?Christian Monitor. The Way to the Pole. Service with the American air forces in France adds weight to thv opinion of'Donald B. MacMMlan, Arc tic explorer and leader of the Crocker land expedition, that the airplane ,is not adapted for a ^ dash to the pole, and that the cost of such a trip by dirigible/would be prohibitive. In his own future explorations, Mr. MacMil lan says, he expects to depend on the "ever-faithful dogs,'' for conveyance. The airplane is, in his judgment, im practicable for several reasens, one of which is, he says, sufficient to dis count the idea of successful Arctic exploration by hardy airmen. The frozen north offers no smooth fields of ice on which the explorer could make a landing. A dirigible might start from a properly eouipped hangar in Labrador and hope to return, hut the total cost of fhe.-expedition would probably be about $1,000,000'. In Apple Blossom" Time. A wedding I attended was held in an orchard in apple blossom'time. One7 of the women wore a red shirtwaist; In the midst of the sen-ice a hull in a pasture in the next field rushed in at the red shirtwaisted' woman, who climbed a tree before the bull arrived. The rest of The party and myself did likewise. The bride's veil fell off, which embarrassed her exceedingly. The shirtwaist was thrown over the fenro and the bull subdued, and the wedding continued in pf?a<*o. The woman .hastened home after a now ?shirtwaist, wearing her husband's ; frock coat?Exchange. - Replanting Forests.

NEWSPAPERS B?NT JELL ALL As a Matter of Fact, World Must Not Be Judr-d by What One May See In Print Through all civilized countries folks j spend a lot of their time Just read ! Ing the papers. And It is all right, too. Ertrybody .eads the papers. But oi# must he careful to keep one's equt?brium at the same time. We must not make the mistake of sup j posing that there is nothing else going ' on in the world except that which the papers print. The papers publish only the news tbat Is startling or sensational. Nat urally, that's all they publish. What ever is unusual, out of the ordinary, something that astoni*hes one?these things are what the papers, print. If you were to go into a. newspa per olb.ce with an item, say, about a ! man who had roared his family care fully, sent them to school and bad paid, the mortgage off his home, the editor wouh'u't put that piece in the { paper because there is nothing unusual about it. I But if the item were about a man ! who refused to work to support his j family, and who beat his wife over the ; head with a club, and who chased them I all out in the middle of the j night in the rain, then the editor would J say it was "news." i So, you see. if is mostly the trou | bies of the world, its seamy side, its j crime and suffering and squalor that > get into the papers.. !
