Radiotelegraphy.

The development of radiotelegraphy is still in its primary stages. When we are all strolling about with our private wireless apparatus in neat pocket form it will be time to talk of the perfection of the system. This sounds rather visionary; but, in fact, pocket reaving stations have already' been perfrcted which have worked successfully In all tests. The dispatching is attended with more difficulties and the device for sending messages from the pocket has not yet been developed. The possibilities of such a personal system of private Intercommunication are enormous and can be ■peculated upon to the limit of the Imaginary i faculties.—Chicago Tribune.

Whitby Jet.

Whitby, on the North sea coast near Leeds, England, has been the home of the jet industry of England. Jet is still mined there and made up into ornaments for personal wear, but only to a limited extent. Fifty years ago it was a flourishing industry, giving direct employment to 1,500 people in ■Whitby. Now not over thirty are engaged in its production, generally old people, and no others are taking it up. The price of rough jet has fallen in that time from 25 cents an ounce to from 75 cents to $2.90 a pound.—Consularlßeports.

The Veteran’s Story

A Southern Girl Tricked Him. and the Result

By JAMES D. MOREHOUSE

My meeting with my wife is a curious story in itself, and illustrates the fact that there is no rule whatever .for love.

When I was in the service, with that force which was opposing Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah valley, I was sent down to an outpost stationed at a little town some twenty miles south of our main army with a message to the colonel commanding there. While waiting for some written communications the colonel was getting ready for me to take back a young girl came into his beadquarters and asked for a pass. She was as trim a little body as I ever saw. bright red cheeks and auburn hair—something one seldom sees in the south. She struck my fancy the moment I looked at her. I was standing behind the colonel, who was writing at a pine table. The girl said she wished to go north to relatives in Harrisburg, Pa. The colonel wouldn’t give her a pass to do so. She was about to turn away disappointed when I tipped her a wink. You must forget I’m an old duffer and picture me as a boy of twenty, full of the old scratch. 1 thought what a pleasing episode it would be for me to escort the girl north. When I winked at her it was to convey information of a plan I had conceived to help her out. Then 1 rushed forward and throwing my arms about her neck gave her a smack. She didn’t resent it. “Why. Mag!" I cried. “How in the world came you here?” She caught on at once. “I came down just before the war opened, and I’ve been trying to get back north ever since." “How’s the folks?” “Pretty well. Mother’s in poor health.” “Why do you wish to go north?” “To do something to make a living. A girl can’t earn anything down here.” “Colonel,” I said, “I wish to introduce my cousin, Maggie Allen.” Luckily she had not given any name. The colonel shook her hand and told her that since she was my cousin he would most certainly give her a pass, I vouching for her. I told him that we had been brought up together as children, and I knew that every njember of her family were strong Union sympathizers. He wrote the pass and in a little while gave me the dispatches, then the girl and I started northward on a twenty mile ride on horseback. She was the most delighted girl at the trick I had played you ever saw. Her eyes fairly danced with mischief. She couldn’t talk about anything else. We rode along for a matter of ten miles, when, coming to a fork in the road, she said that if I didn’t mind waiting for her she would like to go and say goodby to an aunt of hers who lived half a mile up the diverging road. I had been riding twenty miles south and still had ten miles to go on my return. So T told her that if she would excuse me I would wait for her under a big tree at the fork. She said she wouldn’t be gone long and startedI dismounted, lay down at the foot of the tree, lit my pipe and pretty soon fell asleep. When I awoke I looked into the face of “my cousin” standing in the midst of a dozen or more Confederate soldiers. She smiled at me and said: “I’m sorry to return evil for good, but the truth is I’d been trying for some time to get up into this region with certain Information I’d been gathering about your army movements for General Jackson. These gentlemen have been waiting for me near here and I just rode over to deliver my information and tell them that you were here with some more of the same kind. Please let me have your dispatches.” I never was so completely done up in my life. I couldn’t do anything but give her the documents, which she handed to an officer. They debated what to do with me and Anally concluded that as a prisoner I would only be an encumbrance, so after holding me for a while they let me go on. I left them, vowing .inwardly that some day I would make that girl pay for the way she had treated me. But some day didn’t come till after the close of the war. I was retained in the service and In Virginia for a while in 1865, and one day, getting a leave of absence, I went over into the Shenandoah valley to hunt her up. I found her at her home on a tobacco plantation. The most satisfactory vengeance ■ man can vent upon a woman is to make her love him, then jilt her. I was quite full enough of bitterness toward her to play that game on her if I could. I pretended to think her action toward me very bright and declared that instead of making me hate her It had only drawn me toward her. This had a good effect, and she seemed to feel sorry for what she had done, though it was in the line of her duty. I played my game so well that I succeeded completely; not at once, for I made several trips to see her. Then when the pear was ripe I prepared to take my revenge. After some deliberation I concluded simply to drop her without a word of farewell. I dropped her for four days; then rode over to see her and told her that I loved her, and if she wouldn’t marry me I would blow out my brains. She consented, and for twenty years I never knew an unhappy moment. She is watting for me and I am impatient to go to hoc. . ...

HE WAS HIGH PRICED.

The Grafter Got Whet Ho Demanded and Thon a Shock. This Is a little story of New York graft, according to the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati TimesStar. Unfortunately the names may not be used. But It has been the custom of a corporation in this city to pay a sort of retaining fee to the holder of a certain political office just to be let alone. The corporation heads did not ask anything else from the officeholder. They merely did not want to be prodded by crusades which presumably had an origin in a desire for reform. The graft payment for years had been >10,900. “We’ll likely have to pay more now that So-and-so is in office,” said they when a certain man was elected. “He has the name of being very grasping.”

So they sent an intermediary to the newly elected officeholder, with power to negotiate. They were willing to pay >15,000 if necessary, but not a penny more. The usual preliminaries were gone through. “Your company will have to come over,” said the officeholder. “I’m no cheap man. I know you’ve been paying right along, and you’ll have to pay me more than you have been giving up to this office in the past. When I go grafting I go right” The intermediary was frightened. He asked very humbly how much the officeholder would demand. “Not a penny less than SSOO a year,” said the officeholder sternly. The sum was paid, and it was not until the officeholder had been out of office for months that be learned the scale on which previous payments had been made. The Information actually sent him into a decline. He grieved so over it that he really lost his health. If one mentions a large sum of money in his presence nowadays he’s apt to burst into tears.

COTTON PICKING MACHINE.

A Remarkable Invention and the Wonderful Work It Does. “Mechanism has at last been invented which appears to solve the problem of harvesting cotton by machinery, as the harvester operated by steam, gasoline and horse power performs the work on the wheat farms of the west, one of them doing the work of a hundred or Inore human laborers,” says the Scientific American. “There is an Important difference between picking cotton and harvesting the grain. The grain harvester goes over the field cutting down every stock. The cotton machine is so adjusted that it picks only the bolls that are ripe or fit for harvesting and leaves those which are not'matured. “In one field a month or more may elapse before all of the plants are ready for picking, and for this reason It Is necessary to cover the ground at least twice by the machine. It operates, so rapidly and is so efficient that the percentage of ripe cotton left after the machine has done its work is insignificant as compared with the great waste which results from careless picking by the negroes. “The machine picks about ten pounds of seed cotton a minute, or 6,000 pounds a day of ten hours, if kept running continuously, or 5,400 pounds a day, allowing 10 per cent for stoppage. On the first trip it gathers 90 per cent of the ripe cotton, and the remaining 10 per cent is picked on the second trip. “This remarkable invention may be called the life work of Angus Campbell, a Scotch Inventor, who for many years has lived in Texas and has made a study of plans to economize the gathering of cotton by portable machinery.”

Fighting the Flying Machine.

A prominent Chicago expert when asked hypothetical questions by lawyers in court often answered, “There are no limitations to the possible.” This was always a poser and seemed to suit judge and jury. So it seems barely possible there may be a grain of truth in the report of a new patent. by the Krupps, an invention which promises easy destruction of war balloons and military aeroplanes. It Is maintained that some form of gun or cannon fires a peculiar- projectile' which explodes immediately it touches even the softest silk gas bag of a balloon or the lightest canvas covering of a flying machine. Honestly, ' this sounds much like dreams of pro-; jective science.—New York Press.

A Mighty Atlas.

More than one-third of the area of the United States has been surveyed and mapped by topographers of the United States geological survey in connection with the preparation of a detailed topographic atlas of the country. The maps are on a scale of about one inch to the mile, and the big atlas when completed will contain more than 8,000 sheets. Every year during the open field season the government topographers survey in very accurate detail from 25,000 to 30,000 square miles. During the winter the topographers prepare the sheets, which are later engraved In the survey’s engraving plant.
