Tho Inventor of automatic signalling on railways got Ws idea of track-cir- cuiting from a splrit-^'apping seance. He found that the table stood on two brass rails running across the stage, and Immediately suspected the use of electricity. Taking a piece of insul- ated wire, the ends of which were open, he laid it across the two ralla and the spirit ceased to "rap." Years afterwards, when he was a signal engineer, this early experiment recurred to his mind, and he used the Idea for tho protection of mlUione of railway passengers. The First Teleacope. A traveller through tho Yellowstone Park stumbled on n dead horse. The animal had been lying there for a- long time, but was wonderfully pre- served. On c-xamining the carcase it wa;i found to l)e covered with borax, blthorU) iwed only in glazing linen, but destined to become one of the moat useful chemical compounds in InduBlj-y through this accidental dis- covery of Its preservative qualities. The placing together of two spec- tacle glaasea by the children of a Dutch optician led to Galileo's con- struction of tho first tele.scopo, and a more accident helped Senefelder to the Invention of lithography. One day, when he was polishing off a B-tone for etching, his mother asked him to write out ii list of the linen that tha laundre.w was waiting to car- ry away. No paper being available one \rao has stood up to life has felt its worry, stress and strain. But the way out from worry doee not lie along tho line of e«cape from work.

Germany's rye crop this year is the largest since the war, being estimated at 301,873,000 bushe'.s, against 225,- 573,000 busliela last year. Pre-war production in the same territory was 368,000,000 bushels. The German wheat crop is placed at 107,000,000 bushels, against 89,- 000,000 bu.shcls last year; bar'.ey, 112,- 000,000 bushels, against 110,000,000 bushels, and oats, 378,000,000 bushel*, against 389,000,000 bushels. Although estimates for iK)tatoes and sugar beets in Germany are not yet available, iiicrcases in acreage of both crops and favorable conditions are re- ported. . «i Via Caucasian Passes.

All wash- able articles of clothing and linen should be collected in a separate bag and sterilized by boiling before being sent to the laundry. Clothes which can not be washed should be sterilized by steam whenever possible. If thle can not be done they should be thor- oughly aired in the sunlight. The dishes used by the patient should be boiled. Such articles as bed rubbers, ice caps, hot water bags and ther- mometers should be soaked in live per cent, carbolic acid. The sputum should be gathered in covered paper cups. If these are not available, the sputum should be disinfected with five per cent carbolic In the container and the cup should be thoroughly boiled. Gauze should be used for handker- chiefs and should be collected In paper bags and burned. Body wastes from the bowels and tho bladder need not be sterilized hocauso the germs of pneumonia are spread in tho secre- tions of the mouth, nose and throat. While attending a case of pneu- monia the doctor aud nurse should each wear a gauge mask and gown. ' Their hands should be thoroughly washed after leaving the bedside. Visitors should be provided with ixfuXx gauze masks and gowns and warned not to come into too close coutnct with tho patient. These precautions should be maintained during convales- cence and until the patient Is ab'e to leave the hospital or his home. After the patient has recovered, the mat- tress, pillows and blankets should be sterilized. If this Is not possible they should be given a thorough airing in tho sun. All room utensils used In tho care of the patient should be dis- infected by boiling or with a five per cent, carbolic, or 1-1000 bichloride so- lution. Tho room should finally be given a thorough cleaning. A healthy person may carry pneu- monia gorms in the nose and throat aud pass them on to others, who may catch the disease. A Dangerous Habit.

Look for tracks under overhanging banks, and runways near rocks in the water. Examine all hollow logs near streams. There are. In fact, so many likely spots to catch minlis that one ought constantly to keep watch' for them near water, no matter whether tho place Is but a tiny stream from a drain or spri.ng, or a large lake or pond.

Walking on Springs. Leaping through the air like a kan- garoo is the exciting sensation offered to children by the recent invention o' shoes with springs. These novel exercis-ing toys are strapped to the feet In the same man- ner as roller skates, and the wearer can walk, run, Jump, or dance on them.' The steel springs, whl'.e of unusual strength, are extremely elastic. The effect produced is said to-be. like walk- ing on air. Bach shoe has two spiral springs (says a writer in "Popular Science"), and the lower, end of each is fastened to a sole that prevents tho springs from Injuring carpets or polished floors.
