BEFORE DAYS OF LINOTYPE Detroit’s First “Newspaper" Used Town Crier to Make Public the Events of the Day. — An Item that appeared in this column recently to the effect that a certain Swiss village still retained its “spoken newspaper” for the dissemination of hews instead of the modern ■ method of die printed page, recalls to mind the fact that Detroit once had a “spoken newspaper," too, and that here the “spoken newspaper” probably reached its highest development in the United States. The Rev. Fr. Gabriel Richard, a priest of the Order of the Sulplce, who came to Detroit as resident pastor of the Roman Catholic church of Ste. Anne in 1789, was its conductor, and it was the precursor of journalism in Michigan. To arouse the public and awaken an Interest in the as- ’ fairs of the government, Father Richard appointed a town crier, who every Sunday at the doors of his church, told the public in general, and the congre- j gallon In particular, all the news thatl was Ct to speak. In addition to this, the public crier mentioned the auction | sales and related other advertising announcements. I.ater, to supplement: the "spoken newspaper,” a written edl- j tfon was posted at a convenient place j near the church. Father Richard was assisted In his news enterprise by Thopolls Meets, the sacristan of Ste. Anae's church, but later a printer aad publisher.—Detroit News. BY NO MEANS BARREN WASTE Group of Islands Known ae Spitzber gen Has Been Found to Ba Rich In Minerals. Spitsbergen, 400 miles northwest of North Cape in Norway, has been leoked upon for centuries as a great ice-beund waste not worth the trouble •f exploration. It was discovered in 1533 by Willoughby, a British navigator, «ad nearly fifty years later was visitor by the Dutch explorer Barents. It had been kaown to tho Russians and te the old Norsemen years before but they had taken no interest in the place. It« shores have been visited during recent centuries by the crews of whaling ships, and Arctic explorers have used it us a base of operations. It was not until Sir W. Martin Conway of Great Britain made a tour of } exploration in 1890 and 1897 that anything definite was known concerning the interior of Spitsbergen. He made a comparatively complete tour of the six islands constituting the group, but ■ seemed more interested in the glacial aspects of the country than in looking for coal and iron, which are now known ’ to be there in vast quantities. But he j established effectively the claim of his country to sovereignty, which seems to be about to develop into a very valu- j able asset. Destructive Crows, Crows are destructive to the melons, pecking holes in them and causing them to rot on tM vines. It is no uncommon sight to see small cotton cords encircling and across the melon fields of the south —stretched to keepaway the crows, because the crows fear a trap where they see the white strings. They pull young rabbits from their nest, destroy young birds and chickens and even sometimes young pigs. They are very destructive to the pecan groves, and men are employed on some of the big pecan plantations to keep the crows away. ~ o ; UNCLE HEZEKIAH OBSERVES “Nuthin’ looks an’ probably tastes more like lemons than, little round kisses sent un a postcard, viewin’ 'em sum yeres afterurds,” reminisced 010 M’ Lickiticut, who hez soured on th’ wurld, as she looked over sum of; her ole postcard albums.
