THE TELEPHONE
Alexander Graham Bell invented
the telephone (1876,) which instru- ment was rapidly developed. In 1877 Emil Berliner patented the micro- phone transmitter, based upon the principe discovered by Du Moncel of altering the resistance of two conduc- tors by pressure. In the same year Edison constructed his carbon tele- phone. To ,Berliner and Edison. says the Scientific American, belongs the credit of having made the telephone a commercial invention. '
The correct idea of the telephone
also occurred to Elisha. Gray, who, however, filed a caveat in the United States Patent Office only a few hours after Bell, with the result that all the commercial fruits of one of the great- cst discoveries in theworld slipped from his grasp. Bell’s patent has been called "the most valuable single _patent ever issued," in any country. ,That is probably true; for its claims cover not merely an instrument, but the whole art of transmitting speech over a wire. When the telephone was placed upon a business basis by Gar- diner Hubbard (to whoiu America owes very much indeed for the en- couragement which he gave Bell and for his business acumen, and broad iiilndedness) the Western Union Tele- graph Company realized that a form- idable competitor of the telegraph had appeared. It organized the Ameri- can Speaking Telephone Company, anti engaged Edison, Gray and Dol- bear as electrical engineers. These three men, as well as Berliner, Blake, I-luglies and others developed the tele- phone and made it a really practical commercial instrument. In 1877 Ber- liner invented the losse contact trans- mitter and applied .the induction coil between transmitter and receiver. These two inventions have ever since been applied in all practical telephony and iio other devices have taken their places in practice. Both of these are essential elements ot’ the telephone as we know it.

THE WATERED MILK CURE.
Seigncur Jacques de Teuzel of Am-
herst, in France, who lived in the fifteenth century, was evidently it pi- oneer of the pure fold movement. Ac- cording to the London Chronicle, he took drastic and novel measures against the adulterators of food in his domain. ln a decree issued in 1841 he directed the "a funnel shall be placed in the mouth of any man or woman convicted of having sold wat- ered milk shall be poured down the funnel until such time as a doctor shall declare that the culprit camiot be made to swallow any more without danger of death.”
The seller of impure butter was to
be put iii the pillory, “when tho butter shall be crushed upon his head, and shall remain there until the sun shall have melted it."
STRANGE CHINESE BELIEFS.
Among the many extraordinary
customs of the Chinese is that of banding years together in groups of twelve, called "cycles, and naming each year of the series after some animal. Thus, the first year of a new cycle is the year of the Rat. the sec- ond the year of the Ox, the third, the year of the Tiger. Every Chinese born in the year of the itat belongs to the Order of the Rat, and so on. The animal class of every Chinese man or woman is thus recorded, and is held to be of great importance in foretelling the future. Another curious fact about the Chinese reckoning of time is that Iii the Celestial Empire a child is held to be one year old as soon as it is born. With the absurd super- stition so dear to the Oriental mind, a baby boy is frequently given a girl‘s name in order to deceive the evil spir its, who, apparently, have an objec- tionable linbit of making it ns hard as possible to rear n male child success- fully.

The firing line is not the only
place where danger is"encountered; not only on the battlefield do ex- traordinary situations arise, de- manding quick thought and pres- ence of mind, as can be seen from the following story told by a. young lady nurse of Toronto. who was in Hamilton recently visiting friends:
The girl (she is only twenty-one)
had been stationed at a base hospi- tal in France'. One day she was standing at the door, talking to a patient. A shell exploded near, and when she _ regained consciousness they told her it had been necessary to cut oil three of her fingers; tlic patient had been instantly killed.
It was iiot, however, of this that
sho spoge, merely referring to it with an expressive shrug of the shoulder and the remark that such was an every day occurrence; that even she had become iiiiiiioved by scenes of death and blood. Leave of absence had been granted and she had” applied for passage over to her home in Caiiada. oii one of the (fana- dian liners. Uufortuiiately all thc state-rooms had been taken. Soon- er than cause her a_loiig wait tlll the next sailing, the captain pro- posed that she occupy a berth in a cabin that had been taken by a nun, WIIO had Signed her name on the re- gister as Sister Sohia, Sister of Mercy.
Though the nun objected. the cap-'
tain was ilrm in his request, ex- plaining the plight tho young nurse Wai ill. and finally she was allowed to share the cabin. For three days all went well. The nun was rather uncommunicatlve, spending her time
The night of the third day is dc-
scribed in the nurse’s words: “ln the early afternoon I had been at- tempting to do some fancy work, though it was hard with my muti- lated hand. I was, however, mak- ing great progress. There was a beautiful warm breeze; it evident- ly caused me to doze. When I awoke. my work was on the deck. I stooped to pick it up. and of course gave my hand a bang, causing the most excruciating pains, so severe that I retired at an early hour.
“Whether it was going to bed
early or because the pain was so ac- ute. I don’t know, but I woke up at three in the morning. The usual little light was burning. also I could seo a heavier reflection on the wall, W0llll0l‘lnl-Z what it could bc, I turned, and there was the nun shav- ing. using an electric torch to light the mirror.
“For a moment l felt powerless;
then I wanted to scream. Reason re- turned, howcvcr, in time to prevent, me and i decided to walt iiiitil morning. The next three hours were ones, that I will remeinbcr to the longest ti:-ty I live. Every few moments I expected “she” would no- tice I was not asleep. Try as l would my eyes refused to rcinalu shut.
When the hour had struck seven
llie nurse arose and dressed :is quickly as possible. The ‘nun' ful- lowed her and she was nimble to speak to the captain until afici- breakfast.
“I-Io mid two of his ofllcers went
to-thc cabin and though the dis- guised iiun put np a terrific battle, they finally overcame him and plac- ed Iilm in irons. Every possible pre- caution was used iii keeping the trouble from the passengers. The man, when searclied, again foiiglit. Two automatic revolvcrs of Ger- man make were taken from pockets under his arms, xi vial was found noiitainiiig poison with action simi- lar to strychnliic. Papers were found written in German. also it iiiiiiiber of maps, presuiiiably ot' English coast towns. it was sur- mised that he was on his way to Canada, thence to the United States and then home to Germany." 'l‘lic nurse was complimented on her bra- very, aiid the captain assured her that when lie turned the spy over to the proper authorities iii England, lie would tell how the capture was brought about. The work of that brave girl may have saved tliousuiids of lives.
THE LADS OF THE MAPLE LEAF.
Ripe for niiy adventure, sturdy, loyal
and game,
Quick to the call of the Motlior, the
young Caiiailimis came,
Eager to show their inettle, ready to
shed their blood,
'l‘liey bowed their neck to the collar
and trained iii the Wiltshire iiiud.
Sliipped, in the fullness of time, across to the other shore, Heard a deep hum in thc distance, the basso profuiido of war. Frettetl to get to the business, clinfed
for the firing lliic,
Forwartl-with throbbing pulses, like
pilgrims who near their shrliie.
Spoiled for a fight, and got it-lurid,
merciless, red-
Trifled with death ln the trenches,
braved and battled and bled.
Then, at n given order. gather to-
gether and backed-
Not because they were bending. but
to keep the line intact.
Four of their guns defcnceless-left
iii the enemy’s hand!
That was a bittor biiffet, more than
the lads could siaiid.
-Back charged the Men of the Maple, routed the jubilant Hans, Captured a pack of Germans and suv- » ed their beloved guns.
Rlpe»for any adventure, sturdy, loyal
in ways religious. ~

Quick to tho call of the Mother. the
keen Canadians came.

Cheer them with heart and voice.

At Various Points Of Prince Edward - Island
It seems to be necessary that at least a thousand
sticks of dynamite should be exploded at various points in Prince Edward Island in the same manner as is oc-
curing in other pvarts of Canada before the Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, ives and the young men of Prince Edward Island will realize that there is a War going on, in which they must take their part.
Every Citizen Must Back Us Up And Assist in the Work of Recruiting
That is common sense as well as doing your duty. In Prince Edward Is-
land our efforts have been entirely hap-hazard and we want you to realize that this is not a War to be played with on the hap-hazard principle. Major P. R. Hanson, speaking in Montreal recently. Says conscription will come in Canada. Are you
§oing topwait for it? or, are you coming with the Prince Edward Island Heavy
attery. .
Every Able-Bodied Man Here Will Un- doubtedly go to the War before the end
And going to the War is not pleasant even when conditions are such as they will be in the Heavy Battery I the best possible) but all you men should realize and your own common sense will force you to realize that when you are forced to go nobody is going to care very much about your conditions and you will not have there- spect of either yourself or your oliicers.
Enlist to-day don’t be a Coward
Many Heroes have already Volunteered WHERE ARE YOU ?
Yes Sir! many men t and many officers havealready volunteered for the
Heavy Battery, Why? because they-fully realize that with a full battery of 217 men and olhcers all from Prince Edward Island they will have someone always to look after them, friends in time of need, they wiil be trained together, sleep to- gether; eat together, fight together and for each other. One large family to whom the honor of P. E. Island is entrusted.
The Schools,the Colleges.the Churches of Our Land Must Pour Out Supplies of Soldiers
They are factories that produce the men, the country needs at this juncture
-men of character, conscience, seriousness, stern, set, determined men-men who hate War and fight all the harder because they hate it-men who go to the War not as an adventure but as the most solemn and instant of duties. This is the kind of men the Heavy Battery requires. ~
It Takes Six Months To Train A Heavy Battery Thoroughly
As soon as the required number of heroes are obtained this training will be
started in Charlottetown and will be continued there for some months, then it will be finished in Halifax or Valcartier and Petewawa, then the finishing touches will be done in England. This course of training will make every officer every non- commissioned officer and every gunner proficient and expert in his work.
The Great Question Is
Why Is He Not At The Front ?
Ask it of yourself, why ? WHY? You ought to bc, the (stacker) will have a
hard time in Prince Edward Island and he ought to have a hard time everywhere. Make your decision at once, come in and enlist in the l-leavy Battery we are organ- izing. Apply to the undersigned officers who are going to the front with you and who will not send you into any danger where they will not go themselves ahead of you. lt is up to you. God save the King.
