I'" LINDSAY'S WIRELESS. A Scotch Genius Who Anticipated th;' Work of Marconi. James Bowman T.lmlsny. n Scotch- j man. began experimenting with eleetrinity in IS2O. In a few years he pro dtwed a ‘‘eonstar.t stream of light.’’ which was the admiration of scientists lie sent messages over wires anil de llvercd many lectures on an electric I telegraph. Then in 1852 lie invented n system of wireless telegraphy and submitted it to a public test, regarding which a Dundee paper of April 12. 1853, said: "The exia-riment removes all doubt of the practicability of Mr. Lindsay’s invention, and there Is every reason to think that it will soon con noct continent with continent, and Island with Island. In one unbroken line of eoinnninlcalinn.'’ Lindsay's lectures wore advertised under the tilte of “Telegraphing With out Wires.” so that the familiar "wire less’’ itself was anticipated. Hut he was more than a scientific experimentalist. He projected a dictionary in fifty languages and labored on it for a quarter of a ccntnry. It. was too huge it task, and the I'enteeontaglossal 1 »i<tionary exists in an unfinished state only in manuscript. He also compiled with more success a sot of astronomical tables for the Use of chfonologlsts. Yet tills astonishing man never onjoyed more than an income of $250 a year ns a teacher until the eve of his death, when the prime minister granted him a pension of S3OO "in recogni tl >n of his great learning ami extraordinary attainments "—Exchange. BRASS ROD MONEY. Currency That Used to Be Very Popular With African Natives. The annual “bullion letter” of Messrs. Bamuol Montagu A <’<>. of London suggests that the phrase expressive of t\> :Ith. "plenty of brass,” was introi lu<-ed into England by sailors trading I onh towns at the months of the great | African rivers, though the brass rods | u-t 1 by tin* natives me now passing I into the limbo of things obsolete. A brass r<>d at Momsemb was fifteen inclies long and not quite so thick as a slate pencil. Everything had its price in brass rods—one egg equaled one brass rod; a fowl, ten brass rods; two vards of cloth, twenty brass rods; a I male slave, duo brass rods, and a female slaveX2.3oo brass rods. The brass for these rods was origll i ally melted down for their brass ornai uients anklets, necklaces, armlets, leg ! rings, hafts of spears, paddles ami I h.-ruHos of knives, etc. It was using i the_ bra for b's purpose that first I gave it : . r<- .1 value to them. In IStsi the brass rods still retained their value. It is quite possible that the rods I changed hands in fathom lengths, and | those who came into possession of - ; (i j s« Itnmtlx* each cot off a little piece j to procure a little bit of brass for nothI lug, and hence the length was gradualI ly shorteinvl until in IMIO it was fifteen ii he- The process of shortening continued. and In 1905 the standard length I wa» only eleven inehi'S. Ii There a “Born Criminal?” Is it to lie wondered that most nu- ; ttiorities are inclining more and more ' to find In a faulty •■nvlroninent rather I tlisin In a bad heredity the explanation iof the boy who goi>s wrong? Not that it ! is .is yet possible and perhaps it never I wiil lie possible to rule out entirely the | Id. .t of the “born criminal." A small i projMtrtioii of deliuquetits unquMtionai !>ly do show almost from infancy an ■ Irresistible and aeemlngly institutive ! imou'se to evil, but to Just what exj t> . this |h actually due to inheritw! I and irrennMllable conditions remains to ■ lie ascertained. Medical progress, in j fact, is constantly making it clearer that many supposed instances of “in j mite depravity" are in reality the re- - suit of curable physical detect* ami i smuetitucs of defects that are compar- • atlvely slight - 11.

Needless Advice. “How are you getting on nt your I new place?" naked a Indy of a girl whom she had ns-ommended for a sit 1 tuition. "Very well, thank you," answered i tie* girl. "I'm Bind to hrnr it," an Id the lady, j "Your employer is a very nice person, I and you cannot do too much for her.” "I don’t menu to, mn’atu," wne the ' Innocent reply.—London Answers. Out of His Mouth. His ymtiigest grandchild had mnn- , ngisl to got po-scsslon of a primer and | was trying to ent it. “Pnrdon me for taking the words out of your mouth, little one," said the I |.rofi->*.or. hastily Interposing,—Chicago Tribune.

France and the Frenchman. The I rein-li are probably the most I patriotic people in tbo world. The i average half educated Frenchman Is firmly persuaded that bls country is I an oasis of civilization surrounded with Illimitable stretches of barbarism Tills is what ho believes, but his courtesy prevents him from being offensive about it. in his estimation the rest of the world simply does not count. Ho knows that there are other parts of the world, but they are not worth his while to visit or to Inquire about. That is why the Frenchman rarely travel* and never emigrates. Ho will ask you with surprise why he should travel, seeing that he is already in Franco and that lie lias no taste for savages or wild beasts. And ns for its government, it is notoriously the best in the world, with a future so glorious us to defy the imagination. He will say all this with a disarming charm. He pities you for being a foreigner, but he docs not hate you on that account, for, of course, you cannot help it.—Argonaut. Colors and Tints.

Italians easily take the lead in this tr.iflle, the main source of their supply being obtained from the peasant women of Italy, Dalmatia and Switzerland. Several times a year these human hair merchants send their agents around to collect supplies, which are usually immense, for hair growing is cultivated on a very large scale by these women and yields a good renin nerntlon to the producer. Two crops of hair a year nnd looking none the worse for the loss is not extraordinary among the peasant women. Half the hair nt the buck of the hend is shorn off. the remaining half being drawn over the exposed part nnd dressed in such a manner as only to lie detectef! on very close scrutiny and by those experienced In the trade. * —I 11.

Naval uniforms nil the world over pretty well are navy blue The British fashion In this matter tins tx-eu the rule with maritime people In general. That blue was ever selected for the king's naval service was a fortuitous happen Ing. When In 1717 the question of uni i form was l>eliig considered the color selected had very like to have been French gray laced with silver. While the king was still not quite decides) be saw the Duchess of Bedford In a riding habit of blue faced with white nnd en livened with gold lace. It was n retention. Here, the king declared, was the uniform for bls sen sen Ice otib-ers. and no more was heard of French gray. The navy took to blue, and every 1 other navy hns taken to It since. Tail I Mall Gazette.
