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
*.. Albert institute, Dundee, Scotland. It
lies open in a glass case and shows
that the method employed was.to'di- i

Dangerous Counterfeit.
The most expert means of counter

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.

waxed paper to make an exact dupllS

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

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

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.

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

I however, these were cut down to sup

The papers publish only the news

urally, that's all they publish. What

things are what the papers, print.
If you were to go into a. newspa

! 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

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."

j crime and suffering and squalor that
