Prison messages were mentlone< in a recent case at the Old Bailey, London. Talking is not allowed in prisons. There are, however, sereral ways in which convicts communicate with each other without talking. Most of these silent conversations take place during exercise, especially on morninKS after a session, when iifws of crimes and sentences Is soon ill! over tho yard. In a short while, relateii Tit-Bits, every newcomer, If he has been "in" l>efore, tells all the others of his of- fence and the length of his sentence. Those who know the Morse code send long mes-iages to each other even when they are in the workshops, where they hammer in such a way us to prodti'e lung and 8hort sounds. Generally, the Qrst signal a man iiiakc.s tells the crime he has been convicted of. He puts his hands lo his iiiouth and brings his jaw to- gether if he has been passing coun- tei felt money. If he has been picking I«nkets he crosses his wrists in front or his body; if be is "in" for bur- ;?l<iiy lie turns an imaginary key in a lock. If he h.is only been committed for irial am', is waiting his sentence, he counts off twelve on bis fingers, i liiiH me,"iiiug "jury." After a prisoner has told of his iiimc he .signals his sentence. A com- mon slang term for three months' imprisonment is a "carpet bag"; the pantomime of lifting a bag Is gone through t>y the sentenced one. "A moon" .signifies a month. The pris- oner will look up at the moon and extend as many fingers as months of confinement to be endured. The signs for any number of years are very simple. The news of one year's imprisonment is comnuinicated by iiulling the left tar; two years, pulling the right ear twice; five years, touching either ear with all the fingers of one hand extended; ten years, putting both hands to the sides of the face and drawing them downwards. "Have you any tobacco?" is asked by popping a finger into the mouth and Ihenr touching tlie side of the nose. One cough means "Listen!" Two coughs means "Look out!" .\ Lake of HihIiv. There is a lake in British East Africa, Lake Magadi, that is famous for its vast deposits of soda. Until wiiliin recent years few people knew of ihis lake, for it lies in the midst of a barren and waterless waste; but the railway that was started some time ago by an English company to transport the soda to tho coast Is now linished, thus opening a way to this curious itatural phenomenon. Ordinarily the lake looks as if it were frozen and covered with a coat- ing of snow partially thawed, then frozen again. Tlie temperature gives the lie to this appearance of rough- ened Ice, for the heat is extreme, and at mid-day almost unbearable. The soda burns one's feet e-ven through his shoes, and the sharp frosty spikes will pierce any except the thickest stile. After the raiii;< there is a layer of walvr over the greater pait of the lake, which has turned a beautiful shade of pink. Uy moonli,i;ht the Dcene is weirdly beautiful. The lake contains millions of tons of soda deposits, and Innh surface and undeiKround streams ot satiirat- od soda liquor conliniially feed it. Tlie present supply of soda is enor- mous and as fast as it is removed a lUMv surface, formed from the mother liquid beneatli, replaces II. Natives have collected soda from the same spot year after year without making I he slightest difference in the abund- ance of the supply. The company cx- pecl to remove at least 100. 000 tons a year. Ix>rd .Saye mid Sele. Among curious titles must be reckoned that of Lord Saye and Sele, which sound like a linn determina- tion to stand by what has been sftid, even to delivering a duly attested and sealed deed â€" an Irrevocable "wluU 1 bare said. I have said," in fact. Hut ttiis odd doufile tille has nothing to do with saying and seal- ing, suys an exdiange. It was in its origin (he Barojiy by Wril of Saye, created in 1311!. and extinct or In abeyance , by 1399. It was revived in 1447 iu favor of a Kienens ot Hurlsmonceaux. who look tho addi- tional title of "Sele". which comes from one of the Seals in Kent â€" per- haps the village of Seal, near Seven- oaks. The tille of ".<;aye" was assum- ed by reason of a descent from that family through the new peer's grand- moiher. Irish Wit. At a luncheon a bishop, resident In the west of lOnslaiul, lold Ihe fol- lowing story illuslrative of llie native wit ot the Irishman: Two ICnglish lourisls, iu the hope uf "taking a risi'" out of I'at. who was leaning over a gate, got into conversation with him. As (hey parteil they le- iiiarkod, "Have you heard, I'at, that the devil is dead?" This news excited no comment, but the tourists had not proceeded far when they were called back and solemnly presented each with a penny. On inquiring tho cause of this unexpected genenvsity they were met with (lie answer: "It's the uuslliom of (he counthry. We always help the orphans." "WAACS" l)«nu>l>llized. Queen Mury'.s Artuy Auxiliary Jorps, known ati the "Waacs," the khaki-clad army of intrepid women >who served in various capacities at he fnmt during Ihe war, (HNised to >xist as a niililary orgiiiiizalion with he eniling of the year. The Waacs iierformed a notable service for their flag and not a few of them were kill- >d or wounded in service. Uns> (JutH'u >li»i-y.
