A startling discovery was once made by British post office engineers. It was that every message sent over a certain telegraph wire connected with the Stock Exchange could be tapped by the user of an adjacent telephone line, provided he under- stood the Morse alphabet. In this way, it was believed, some rascals had obtained information which they had turned to good account. Similar "leakages," brought about by .accident or design, are not un- common. When a telephone operator pushes back a certain key on her switchboard, she can listen to every word which passes between sender and receiver. For a perfectly legitimate reason, a telephone operator one morning pushed back this key, and overheard two people whom she knew make an appointment. A day or two later she mentioned this fact quite innocently to a third party, with the result that there was a sensational divorce suit. In another case the sub-editor of an evening newspaper, while at the telephone, heard the proprietor of a local morning paper sending to his office particulars of a serious acci- dent which he had just witnessed. Jotting down the details, the eaves- dropper "wrote up' the occurrence, and less than an hour afterwards papers contalning an account of the disaster were on sale. Mr. Lloyd George, when at the Peace Conference in Paris, was for a time victimized in a similar manner. After communicating with London by telephone, he discovered that the line was being "tapped." This was awk- ward; but he was equal to the oeca- slon. A Welshman was installed at the London end of the wire, and sub- sequent conversations were carried on in Welsh. The wrong delivery of telegrams Is another prolific cause of "'leak- ages." A manufacturer sent to an agent in Scotland a "wire" concern- ing certain goods, addressing it, "Macduff, Haggisville." The agent's customer was also named Macduff, and as he was the most prominent man in Hagglsville, the telegram was delivered to him. That did it. Away went the agent's most cherished se- cret--the name of the manufacturer of the goods. Letters may get into the wron hands and cause endless mischief. In a certain building in Glasgow were two young women of the same name, and one of them, who, unfortunately for her, lived at the top, had a sweet- heart, a sallor, While he WAS away on a voyage he wrote to her. The postman, having no number to guide him, delivered his letters to the young woman dn the ground floor, who opened>them and circulated the contents. / ) . Naturally, fhe other girl was fur- fous;" and coniplained to the post- master; but, as the actual recipient of the letters declared that they were intended for her, and it was impos- sible to communicate at once with the sender, the true position was not discovered for a long time. There is one other great source of "leakages," and that is the rural post Office. Many villagers who use the Podt Ofce Savings Bank always make deposits and withdrawals tn the town to which they go to market. If, more- over, they have to receive a communi- cation, they never have it sent to their own address. Is their suspicion -- for obviously they are suspicious that their affairs might be talked about locally -- un- reasonable? No. Not that rural post office officials often betray. their trust deliberately. The trouble is that in villages everybody knows everybody, and gossip is the staple time-killer. teen The Land of Promise, "There is a tract of land within the Empire which is probably the richest in mineral wealth on the earth's surface," says Robert M. Macdonald in the Cormhill Magazine. "That tract of land stretches across the neck of the Cape York Peninsula, and is in North Queensland. The writer knows from experience that most minerals of value exist in that tableland, and if any metallic sub- stance were suddenly to become in demand which he does not already know, he would go thére to look for it with every confidence in his find- ing it. 'The people, who live a nomadic life amidst such surfoundings, wrest- fog gold, silver, tin, lead, molybde- nite, woltram, and other materials of unknown name from where nature placed them, are a happy-go-lucky lot of men gathered from all parts of the world, and of all callings, orig- inally. Whatever they may have been in the past, their previous Joys and sorrows are forgotten in this great upside-down land of al- most untouched wealth, "And to the prospector every day is a gamble, in which he puts his time and labor against his chances of striking a reef of gold or molybde' nite or something else which will at- ford him all his requirements for the rest of his lite." ' S------------ Origin of Manx Cate. The origin of Manx cats is mow attributed to the arrival of these cats on the Isle of Man from shipe belonging to the Spanish Armada that were wrecked there. They we:e probably brought from Japan or eastern Asia. They are a distinct Species with short forelegs and ele- vated hindquarters, and er from other cats somew and character, People who have owned them for long periods say they are not good mousers or hunters, In character they are rather similar to a dog, being highly companionable and having some of the qualities of a guardian.
