HIGH PLAY AT MONTE CARLO
Tables Always Full and Bank Doing
Well, Says Londoner Who Brought
Back Some Money.
Walter Martin, a Piccadilly cigar
dealer, has the distinction of having
broken the bank at Monte Carlo three
times in an hour recently and to have
returned to his home in London with
money in his pocket, according to the
London correspondence of the Sun and
New York Herald. To many persons
who have heard wonderful accounts of
winnings—and losses—at Monte Carlo,
"to break the bank," locks big. How
ever, Mr. Martin's winnings In that
one hour of play netted blin Just 15,000
francs, today worth about $9S3 in
American gold.
Mr. Martin aumits uiai uc >u
| luck." He said that be played with
j "j defensive system" of his own.
Two "sittings" stood out in his mem
ory. One of them was when he broke
the bank its related above. The other
was when he lost 500.000 francs. lie
played roulette.
"I was able to pay the living ex
penses of myself and a party of
friends off the tables, and also to come
borne 'In pocket' as a result of my
two months' visit," he said.
"In the whole of my experience at
Monte Carlo, and I am an oKl player,
I do not remember the tables so crowd-,
ed. It Is difficult to net a seat. British
and French are at Monte Carlo In
about equal numbers, and one thing
that struck me- was the number of
women players. I should say that
there are three of them to every man.
"I saw several well-known people
who were having bad luck and losing
a lot, but one young Frenchman had
done amazing well ntid in three months
had won £250,000. And, like a wis#
man, he had packed up and gone away
with It.
"The tables, however, are prospering
greatly, owing to the number of In
experienced and reckless players."
SAYS BEES HAVE LANGUAGE
University Professor Asserts That
They Also Have Some Sort of
Telegraphic System.
Bees have a language and a system
of telegraphy, according to Profes
sor Frauds Jager. chief of the divi
sion of bee culture at the University
of Minnesota farm. Wonderful prog
ress hns been made in bee cfilture. but
their means of communication still re
main a mystery, according to l'rofes
sor Jager.
Professor Jager has conducted many
experiments In an effort to learn some
thing of the bee's mysterious form of
communication. In one of them he took
the queen bee out of a hive, which
was four or five feet high. As soon
as the working bees discovered their
leader was missing they began crying.
The crying was audible four or five
feft from the hive. Within "fi sec
onds after the queen bee had been re
placed at the bottom of the hive the
crying subsided at the top of the hive,
and they showed their joy by standing
on their heads, according to Professor
Jager.—St. Paul Daily News.
Keep Life's Windows Open.
Life Is constantly* confronted with
new Ideas. Tlte.v must be examined be
fore being nrcepteil. In this as In
everything else there ma<t be the right
light In which to make the examina
tion. The bright light that makes the
diamond flash destroys the sensitized
plate. Each must have the light it
needs to meet the thing it was made
for. So each challenging thought must
have its setting nod life's windows are
the media through which we see them.
He who knows Jiow to use his win
dows can have just the kind of light
lie needs within, lie who closes his
windows to the light Is sure to settle
farther and farther into himself and
soar In his own stagnation. To live
sweet and fresh lives men must see.
It's a mat^r of opening the windows.
—Exchange.
Ludicrously Low Prices.
From a letter just received in New
Tork from Prague, Czecho-Slovakia:
"This city Is one of the most beau
tiful places I ever saw. And the
prices just now. If you have American
money, are simply ludicrous. My
room at the best hotel cost me 75 cents
a day. You can dine at the best res
taurants, with wine thrown In, for r>0
to 75 cents. 1 just sent out a pair of
shoes to be repaired by a cobbler, and
what do you think the profiteer
charged? Five cents! And you can
go downswirs to the so-called Amer
ican bar and get a champagne cobbler
for 25 cents and a Martini cocktail for
15 cents. Just got my week's bill from
my hotel. Seven days' lodging and
breakfasts—$»>! and it's the best hotel
In Prague!"
Jamaican Women Given Vote.

"Do you Intend to vote at the com

"Yes/' replied Miss Cayenne. "And
I shall wear my handsomest costume?
Having secured the right to vote,
every woman should feel it her patri

NOW WAREHOUSES ON WATER
Japanese Said to Have Evolved a
Scheme That Is IngenlAis and
Profitable as Well. ^
The time may probably come when
tlie land Is overcrowded and people
in-;;in to live on water. * Then we shall
be building floating skyscrapers and
aquatic parks At any rate, congenial
Japanese have already lnunched a
scheme which In the opinion of the
projectors hits many birds by one
mi one. The scheme Is the creation of
what is called floating warehouses.
1 Hiring the war Japan built ninny
good-sized wooden ships to aid in the
transportation of the allies' goods.
After the war these ships were dis
missed from the service, and since
then lay Idle In harbors unable to ob
tain cargoes due to post-war slumps In
shipping.
Taking advantage of this circum
stance. a group of men organized a
concern called the Marine Warehouse
company, with a capital of 10.000,000
yen; bought the wooden ships and
started a floating warehouse business.
The company Is now engaged in es
tablishing eight floating warehouses of
1,000 tons.ench In the harbor of Kobe.
The ships are to be attended by three
launches of 1,000 tons capacity each.
The aquatic warehouses, being exempt
ed from extortlonnte rent and taxes,
nnd largely free from the danger of
lire. In addition to many peculiar ad
vantages consequential to their mova
ble character shall be able, it Is
claimed, to carry on the business at a
much lower rate with greater facility,
providing a formidable enemy, In the
future, of tlieir terrestrial cousins.—

WAS MASTER OF PROFANITY
*
Intimate of Great Editor Declares
Swearing Was More Than a Bad
Habit With Him.
Joseph Pul'tzer, the famous blind
founder of the New York World, was
not, always a purist In language. At
least so writes Diaries Cliapin, who
was for 20 years eity editor of the
Evening World, in his autobiography,
called "Charles Oinpln's Story."
"Sometimes when I was reading to
him he would become explosively pro
fane." writes Chapln. "And how
shockingly tlml blind mnn could swear!
With him profanity was more of nn
art than a vice. Once when I had read
something to him that made him angry
with the writer's stupidity he swore so
passionately and so loud and grew so
choleric and red in the face that 1
feared something Inside of him might
snap.
"Suddenly lie checked himself and
pricked up his ears. There were angry
voices In an adjoining room. One of
his young sons was having a run-in
with his tutor and was forcibly telling
what lie thought of him. A peculiar
expression, a mixture of annoyance
and amusement came over my employ
er's countenance.
" 'Dear me.' he said, *1 wonder where
that boy learned to swear.' lie didn't
utter another oath during the remain
der of my visit."
Combustible's Many uses.
U tin* farmer can't make the old
horse go <>n straw nii'l corncobs per
hnps tie cun run his car. his tractor
and his stationary engine with gas
made from tliein. That's the problem
the department of agriculture is strug
gling with, says tlip Nation's Uuslness.
Already Its experimenters have run an
automobile with the new combustible
ami used It for lighting and cooking.
If the results of these tests warrant
further Investigation the experiments
will be extended to the problem of
plant equipment for producing the gas
on a scale sufficient to allow the farm
er to supply light and heat for his
housi1. power for stationary engines,
and possibly for his tractor from a
small individual outfit. If a suitable
unit can be constructed It seems likely
that the straw gas may have a certain
economic value In the sections of the
country where the raw material from
which the gas Is made Is now con
sidered as waste and burned or left
to rot.
Sentiment Rules.
Ponderous government machinery
gave way to sentiment when Maj. Gen.
John A. I.ejeune. commandant of the
marine corps, authorized thp re-enlist
ment In I.os Angeles of two Armenians
who served In the A. R. F., Peter
Mosgofian and Parseh Normaniau, for
the purpose of joining the marines on
the United Slates steamship Chatta
nooga, now at Constantinople, In or
der that they might locate their rela
tives in the Near East.
Both of these young men speak Ar
menian, Greek, Arabic. Bulgarian,
French and English, and understand
Russian. They will leave Philadelphia
this month, via the United States
steamship St. r.ouis, for Turkish wa
ters.
Philippine Coal.
Signs of Industrial expansion In the
Philippine islands are seen In the re
cent formation of a company which
Is developing the Cebu coal mines as
well as those In Mindanao. It is ex
pected that within a comparatively
short time the output of these two
Islands will be sufficient to supply
the needs of the whole archipelago as
regards good steam coal. The Min
danao product, which comes from
what is known as thp Silsbuguey coal
field, Is asserted on the one hand to
be superior to any other Philippine
coal or any coal Imported Into the
Islands, while on the other hand it Is
said to be liable to deteriorate If tot
used promptly.
