HAD TO STAND THE GHOSTS Frenchman Vainly Tried to Get Rel From His Unwelcome, Nolsy “fl Visitors. { Writing on the effect of ghosts on leaseholds, William W. Ackerly in Case and Comment tells of a cmb‘q fore the parliament of Paris less than four centuries ago. It appeared thad a house was- let in the suburbs ot; Tours, and that the tenant, being promptly disturbed by a “noise and routing of invisible spirits, which suffered neither himself nor his family, to sleep o’ nights,” as promptly went to law. The lower court broke the lease, the hauntings being considered insupportable nuisances. But this he did without letters royal, and the lessors appealed on the formal’ point.

Then the ghost was in for it. Tl;o“ learned counsel for the lessors laughed at the very idea of noisy spirits, and cited Joan of Arec, and, quoted from Plato, Philo, Judaeus, Empedocles, Marcus Aurelius, Ter} tullian, Quintilian and Dioscorides, as’ antighost authorities. He concluded! that the tenant and his family were| sutfe}'ing from nightmare, and nug-i gested that they should consult a phy-: sician and not a solicitor; or, granting: that the house was haunted, that theyi should appeal to the clergy, and not' to the law. Naturally the tenant’s ad-i vocate did not appreciate his adversary’s sense of humor, and told h!ml so. He, too, called upon the ancients for assistance, citing Pliny, Plutarch, Suetonius, Ovid, the Fathers, and whom else do you suppose? Why.f none other than the self-same Plato: whom his adversary had quoted 50, glibly to the contrary. Obviously that" philosophic one, like many of our, courts, either overlooked, or found: good reason for overruling, a tormprg decision; or else he was an equitable; soul and wished to satisfy both par-! ties! - Anyway, however, it seemsy that the lower court was reversed, and; the poor tenant, of course, had to en~l’ dure his unwelcome cotenant, or pay the full term’s rent and vacate. 3

FEATS OF CARRIER PIGEONS Since the Franco-Prussian War Their Value Has Been Recognized by | All Governments. : The famous performance of ca.rrlel\z pigeons during the siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian war, when the% carried upwards of 40,000 messages was the result of an inspiration rathex than of forethought. Private citizens who chanced to have pigeons ofterei them to the government. Their per{ formance was such a splendid success that France has ever since malntalned} large flocks in charge of the engineer corps. i The birds are carefully trained aé soon as they are able to fly and "fi then drilled daily for the rest of their useful-ljves. They are taught to fly an to :g]ight on signal. The first th Bism: did after the treaty of peac was signed was to establish pigeons lofts in Berlin and elsewhere through{ out the empire. Every other nation in Europe followed his example, and to day every government has thousands of pigeons, all ready to carry messages in time of war. . {

Signaling With Smoke. A simple and most ingenious methi od of signaling from an aeroplane !mq just been invented by a young Frenclq engineer named Means. It is a sys 4 tem of optical telegraph, the dots and dashes of the Morse code being writ; ten in the air by short and long puflg of smoke. : ' The apparatus for discharging thes puffs, as built by ‘Breguet, consists o a black receptacle for smoke, situateq below the aviator’s seat and projects ing downward. It is closed at its lows er end by a valve that can be opened and shut with a small lever. Accord: ing to the length or brevity of the opening the puff of smoke is a dash or a dot. The smoke trails horizontally behind the aeroplane and remains g long time in the air if this is still; even in a high wind it remains lonq enough to be read with a field-glass at a distance of several miles.
