MANY FAIRIES IN GREEN ISLE
Idea That the Gnomes Have Dis-
appeared Is Declared to Re
Altogether Erroneous.
|
There still are fairies in Ireland, de-
clares the Ulster Folklore, which ex- |
plains by saying: To many, perhaps,
this statement will be really news. Of
course, anyone who has never taken
any interest in the matter at all knows |
ithat in the days gone by there were !
plenty of them from one end of the
green isle to the other—are not thelr
‘old haunts, the thorn bushes, thelr
raths, forts, coves and souterraines |
still to be found in every corner of
qreland just as they have existed |
since time out of mind?
But it has been the general belief
that the fairies themselves long ago,
in one fashion or another, had fer-
saken or been driven from their se-
cret places, the last hegira being
placed at as modern a period as the
‘middle of the nineteenth century—the
night of the big wind, in fact when
‘they were all supposed to have been
blown into the sea with the exception
of a few that landed in Scotland.
The error of that belief, however,
has been scientifically ascertained in a
series of Investigations pursued by
Miss Elizabeth Andrews, F. R. A. I,
for a decade or so.
“The belief is general,” Miss An-
drews says, “that these little people
were at one time very numerous '
throughout the country, but have now
disappeared from many of their for-
mer haunts. At Ballynahinch I ‘was
told they had been blown away 50
years ago by a great storm, and the
caretaker at Killevy said they had
gone to Scotland. They are, however,
‘supposed still to inhabit the more re-
‘mote parts of the country, and the old
People have many stories of fairy vis-
itors and of what happened in their
own youth and in the time of their
fathers and grandfathers.”
WAS PIONEER IN WIRELESS
James Bowman Lindsay, Scottish En-
gineer, Has Not Been Given the
Credit He Deserves.
Little is heard abeut James Bowman
‘Lindsay, and mueh about wireless te-
legraphy, yet the career of the one and
ithe history of the other are insepara-
ible, says the Christian Science Moni-
itor. Upwards of sixty.years ago Bow-
‘man Lindsay operated a system across
[the River Tay, a distance of one and a
‘half miles, just above the bridge the
‘construction of which ranks as one of
lthe most notable feats in engineering.
His efforts failed to attract attention
‘at the time, however, because of his
retiring disposition, but the history of
electrical research records few names
more deserving of respect than his. He
was a pioneer in the application of
electricity for heating and lighting
purposes and bespoke a great future
for it.
Apropos of Bowman Lindsay, as he
was familiarly known, it is interesting
to note that his energies were not
«wholly directed to the advancement of
4he mechanical arts. He was a lin-
‘guist and as such started out to trans-
late the Bible into many different lan-
‘guages. Seven years’ labor was ex-
pended on the task, and the work was

Dangerous Counterfeit.
| The most expert means of counter-
feiting American greenbacks has been
discovered by the state police in the
Adirondacks lumber camps, where $20,
: $50 and $100 notes were being dupli-
| cated. Banking experts have pro-
| nounced them the most clever counter-
i feits in existence.
The information now in the hands
of the state police is to be turned over
to the United States department of jus-
tice. The secret of the device is a ma-
chine which is capable of splitting the
thin note paper on which American
notes are engraved and permitting the
face and back of the néte to be
stripped from each other. Waxed pa-
per is then laid over each half of the
note and a solution applied to trans-
fer enough of the original ink to the
waxed paper to make an exact dupli-
cate of the note. The waxed sections
to which the ink has been transferred
are then pasted to the opposite half
! of the good note and in this way two
bank notes exactly alike are produced.
Malines Catillons Busy.
The carillons of Malines have never
been heard so much and to such splea-
did effect as of late. The truth is that
Malines has undertaken to get.together
a sufficient sum of money with which
te present to St. Quentin a new caril-
lon, the Germans having seized the
bells of the French town. So every
carillon of Malines has been ringing
and pealing. There have been carillen
concerts, one of the performers on the
:pells of the cathedral of St. Rombaut
| being the bell ringer of St. Quentin
himgelf. The hymn which he played
embodied the motifs of the “Marseil-
laise” and the “Brabanconne.

The packing business is noted for the
elimination of waste in manufacturing.
Swift & Company is equally effective
in saving waste in the distribution of
products.
From ranch or farm to your meat dealer
there is no loss of time, money, material,
or motion.
Four hundred branch sales houses in
large cities and towns, hundreds of regu-
lar refrigerator car routes reaching small
towns, all directed by wire from a central
point, bring meat products from our
packing plants located in producing areas,
to retailers in all parts of the country in
