More Ingenious Scheme Than That Contemplated by Germans Probably Never Was Devised.
Gorman war secrets art* now being -disclosed In scientific literature. At the close of the conflict ibe Germans in their laboratories were working «m secret-signal lights of special character. To the ordinary observer nothing would be present to indicate that the light was sending out signals, but changes would be going on which would be apparent to an observer equipped to view it with a suitable
optical device.
Different principles were employed for accomplishing lids. In one of them polarized light was to lie sent out by the signal, the character of which would change in accordance with the dots and dashes of the code. When viewed through properly fitted binoculars, the color would no longer he white but would alternate between red and green, in another method, a glass screen containing coinpounds of tlic rare element didymlum was arranged to alternate in the beam of light with another screen of suitable shade. When the resulting light was viewed with binoculars equipped with prisms, a black line would appear in the yellow region of the sped ruin formed whenever the didytnium glass was interposed, permitting the signals to he read. Another method consisted in first breaking tip the light at the source into a spectrum across which *as placed one or more wires cutting out narrow regions of color, and these were arranged to be moved bnek and forth a short distance along the spectrum in signaling. The colors were Hum recombined Into white light and transmitted. With binoculars provided with suitable prisms to re-form the spectrum, the signal was perceived In the motion of dark hands hack and forlli along the spectrum, corresponding to the movement of the wires at the transmitting station. One important upplieulion of tills method of aigiinling would lie at sea.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

County Agricultural Ag:nt Assist* Farmers to Install System at Cost of Less Than $20 Each. iPrtpHTfrd by the I'nittwl Siatee Department of Akt if-ulture.) Washington.—There are 'till many rural homes that do not have telephones and, ns at present economy in all lines is imperative, interest is rev iving in the "barbed-wire system," which was more or less common iu parts of the West 20 years ago. In <"arson county. South Dakota, tiie ooun .v agricultural agent lias assisted farmers to install such a system at an average cost of material per farmer of less than $20. Carson County is S7 miles long and very sparsely settled, although the agricultural lands are fenced. Standard telephone lines appeared to he too expensive, yet there was a great need of facilitating communication. The county agent furitlslied information regarding the cost of installing the line, using |>oreelalu nail knobs for insulation, vvhioh eost about $f> per mile. These knobs work satisfactorily when the barbed wire is tied to them with a short piece of
wire.
In order further to reduee the cost some farmers tried pieces of rubber cut from automobile inner tubes as Insulators. Pieces of the tubing ijjj inches square were wound around the barbed wire and fastened to the post with staples. The eouuty agent reports thut tlds insulation is giving satisfaction, although, of course, the rubber will deteriorate in time. Tiie fanners were able to ultra in sec-ond-hand phones at from $5 to $20 each and 50 cents bought s lightning arrester, so that the total cost per farmer was comparatively nominal. Each farmer has his own special ring, so there is no ex|s*nse for a central. It is possible with a system like this to connect various parts of
tiie farm or distant hams with the rainfall to grow a food crop under our house, or the tenant liouso vvilli the general farming methods, which means farm home, at a very low cost.

Washington. D. —“Kuln might he looked upon as the oil which lubricates i lie wood's economic machinery.’’ says a bulletin issued from tiie Washington, D. headquarters of the National Geographic society in connection with recent reports of world-wide
drought damage to crops.
“With the smallest estimated cotton crop since 18P3,” continues the bulletin, “with spring wheat in poor condition at home as well as in many of the other wheat countries of the world, with other important crops below their average, and with drought cast ns the villain, or at least as an accomplice, in each case, the difference that a few showers make in humanity's scheme of tilings is strongly emphasized.
Depends on Rainfall.
“While everybody realizes in a general way that the world depends on rainfall and fertility for food, there are very few, perhaps, who even approximately appreciate how comparatively little the farmer actually does in the great process of crop-growing. To plow millions of acres furrow by furrow, to spend millions of dollars on fertilizers, and to reap and gather and thresh, is no mean task. And yet compared with tiie part that nature plays in the proeess, man’s work seems a very slight labor. For instance, it takes about 20 Inches of

SECRETED HIS LITTLE HOARD Indiana Man Evidently Had Littls Confidence in the Wearers of th# Cloth. After much persuasion, .Mrs. Housewife, in Connersville, finally prevailed «m her husband to let two ministers use their spare bedroom during u church conference. A day or two later tiie telephone rang in tiie ottice of the factory where he worked and Mrs. Housewife insisted on talking to him. She was informed that he could be called lo tiie telephone only on matters of sick- | ness or death or of the gravest im- i porta rice. She said it was all three combined, or words to tlml effect, and he was summoned. Having difficulty iu hearing on tiie telephone, the superintendent repealed the message. “She says it is gone," said the superintendent. “What's goueV” asked the puzzled husband. “She says the money's gone," rel>eu!ed the superintendent, after inquiring of ilio woman. “What moneyV" inquired the puzzled husband. “Why, tiie money in the spare bedroom,” she explained, through the superintendent. “Oh,” he said, his face clearing, “don't worry about that, i took the money out of there and put It in tiie cowshed. 1 took no chances with them two fellers." — Indianapolis

It is a commonplace saying tbnr milk is a perfect food. This may l>e taken to mean, say specialists of the t uited States Department of Agriculture, thut it contains, first, materials that children need for growth; second, materials that young ami old alike f m ed for the upkeep and repair of their body machinery; and, third, materinls Unit till need for fuel, to provide them will) heat and will) the energy necessary for work. Such a statement should mu lie understood lo mean that milk has iliese ingredients in such proportions I hat it can serve satisfactorily n> aii exclusive food for a grown person or even for a child. To the growing child, however, no other food can satisfactorily replace milk as a part of the diet. Kuril child should take a full quart of milk each day if possible, or at least a pint without fail. While a health} adult could live on milk alone for a considerable lime, Hie digestive organs do their work better with sit leasi some solid food. Ton large a quantity of milk alone—at least four or five quarts a day—would he required. Nevertheless, milk is much more titan a beverage.

ground must have to give him a good crop, and that the distance and freight rate were the same as the average railroad haul and rate in the United States. On that basis St would cost him more than $4,000 an acre to water Ids place. “But not only would his water hill he nearly halt a million dollars on a 100-acre farm, but his fertilizer hill, also, would amount to a neat little sum. It Is estimated that in the process of normal evaporation, soil water presents the rootlets of its neighborhood with about fourteen pounds of ammonia a year to the acre. Also. it gives them some 57 pounds of potash. With sulphate of ammonia costing only 2 cents a pound (It cost f»j4 during the war) and a hundred pounds of Hie sulphate required to contribute 17 pounds of ammonia, It will bt' seen that the process of evaporation gives the rootlets $1.(55 worth of ammonia to the acre. Automatic Fertilization. “When the World war cut off German supplies of potash and it soared to $-40ti a ton, geologists scoured the United States for the priceless fertilizer with little success. Yet the process of evaporation generously hands out more than half a hundredweight to the acre, in war and peace. This automatic fertilization is worth an additional $2.50 an acre to the farmer at present prices, and would have cost him $10 mi acre at war prices. "From this it will he seen that the $12 to $25 an acre that It costs the average farmer to grow wheat is a small figure indeed, compared to wtiat lie saves by having nature as Ids water wagon and fertilizer source.” EASTERN DIPLOMACY A JOKE Envoy Is Well Paid for Job That Doesn’t Exist, According to Prince Furetenberg.

GUTS OUT SLANG PHRASES
National Advisory Committee on Aero nautics Compile# Standard Terms— “Aircraft" Is Any Form of Craft That Navigates the Air. , Washington.—Standard aeronaiiiiCal terms, devised and compiled by the national advisory committee for aeronautics, have been officially prescribed for use iu the army and navy. Hereafter, the new order states, the officers of the two air services will use the regulation nomenclature. For some time, aerial experts point out, laymen have been calling anything that traverses the air an “airship," whereas the word “aircraft” should he employed. They say that ail balloons, rigid and nonrigid airships, or lighter-than-alr craft, are constantly being termed “blimps.” a slang word, now obsolete, but originally used to designate a nonrigid airplane fuselage slung beneath the ga'
bag.
“Seaplane,” Not "Hydroplane.” The word "hydroplane" has often been misused in referring to a seaplane; “hydroplane” designates a sea sled, which planes on the surface of the water, but does not take the air. An airplane has been called an "aero,” which, it is explained, is as wrong as calling a boat a “water." The words “aeroplane,” “hydro-aeroplane” and “dirigible," have been done away with and "airplane,” “seaplane" and "airship” have taken their places. According to the recent published report of Hie national advisory committee. “aircraft” constitutes any form of craft designed to navigate the air and is divided into “aerostats” and “airplanes.” Aerostats comprise ligliler-than-air craft, embodying a container filled with a gas lighter than air, such as hydrogen, and sustained by its buoyancy. They include “airships" and “balloons.” The word “airplane” is now used to designate craft heavier than air, obtaining support from tiie action of the air on the wings, and driven through the air by screw propellers. Airplanes equipped for alighting on water are termed “seaplanes.” "Airships," as the craft formerly known as lighter-than-air are nowcalled, are divided into three types; “rigid,” whose form is maintained by a metallic frame within the gas bag or envelope; “nonrigid," ’whose envelope is kept taut by the pressure of the contained gas, and “semirigid," maintained by a rigid or jointed keel and also by gas pressure. These three types are all propelled by gas engines located in a hull or car, or iu individual engine houstes suspended below the supporting envelope, and controlled by means of rudders and tins. Some New Terms. Among the new aud often misunderstood terms are the following: Aeronaut—Tiie pilot of an aerostat (airship or balloon). Airdrome—A landing field equipped witli hangars and shops. Aviator—The operator or pilot of heavier-than-air craft, such as airplanes and seaplanes. Fuselage—Body of an airplane, including engine and passenger seats. Glider—An airplane without a power plant. Heliocopter—An aircraft deriving its support not from wings hut the vertical thrust of propellers. Ornlthopter—An aircraft deriving its support and power from flapping wings. Pancake—To land by an airplane by leveling off higher from the ground than normal, causing it to stall and descend nearly vertically. Soar—To fly on a level without power. Spin—An aerial maneuver in which the airplane descends nearly vertically while turning rapidly in the form of a helix or a “corkscrew.” Taxi—To run an airplane over the ground or seaplane over the water under its own power, without taking the air. Zoom—To- climb rapidly at a very steep angle.
