-WE PILFER THE Mill's'•
How: Traps. Are Set for American
Newspapers,
American newspaper men who set
out to "lift" paragraphs from rival
organs must needs be wary, for set-
ting traps for news stealers has be-
come almost a fine art across the line.
A good story in- this connection is
told by,. Melville E. Stone, the founder
of the American Associated Press, in
his book,, "Fifty Years a Journalist."
While he was editing the Chicago
Daily News, a rival newspaper, the
Chicago Post and Mail, owned by two
brothers named McMullen, made it-
seIt notorious for thefts of telegrams
from competitors.
So Mr, Stone concocted a bogus
press message, professing to come
from Serbia„ and dealing with an
alleged famine there. Thishe pub-
lished is. due course in the Daily
News, the conclusion of the message
being as follows:
"A few days ago the mayor of the
provincial town of Sovik issued a
proclamation ending with the men—
ons words. "Er us siht le Etsil iws
Helium emeht' (`cite municipality can-
not
The Post and Mail came out with
it intact, not noticing that the mys-
terlous foreign words, when read
backwards, became; "The lti;eMullens
will: steal this, sure,"
Another trap of a somewhat simi-
lar kind was set during the Spanish-
American war bt the editor of the
New York Journal, who suspected the
New York World of stealing his press
despatches from the front.
With a view to verifying his sus-
picions he took the words "We pilfer
tat news," arranged half the letters
backwards to read, "Baipe W. The -
ma," and saddled the name on a
mythical officer supposed to have
been serving in the Cuban army.
In the Journal's evening edition of
that day there appeared a notice to
the effect that 'Col, Reflipe W, The -
wiz" had been killed in action.
The World proatptly took the bait,
and after dreeslue the item up in the
form of a special cable despatch,
forging to it the name of one at Its
war correspondents, anddating it,
"On board the World's despatch
boat," announced boldly the next day
that "Colonel Reiiipe W. Thenus"
was dead.
On the morning following the
Journal took the public into its con-
fidence, and soon all New York was
el uckliag at the •eiscomfture of the
World, whose editor had been thus
;invade to deolare, in his own paper,
that "We pilfer the news."

Excitement Makes You Heavy.
At. Wimbledon a nianunoth grand
stand has been constructed around
the court where the Lawn Tennis
championships are decided every
year. This stand, which eclipses the
Albert Hall in siz a, will accommodate
t+bout 14,000 spectators.
When building a structure of this
..ieseription, the weight of 14,000 peo-
ple's excitement, in addition to the
actual weight of the spectators, las
to be taken into consideration. Such
a crowd would probably represent a
total weight of 850 tons; therefore,
the grand stand will be built to sup-
port a weight of at least 1,700 tons.
The reason for this is that when
people are excited, they weigh twice
as much as when sitting still. A man
crouching adds about 65 per cent. to
.ils weight in straightening himself
up; rising frbmn a sitting position adds
About 80 per Bent., and it is possible,
by rising with a sudden jerk, to mo-
:nenterily add over 150 per cent? to
„no's weight.
As people witnessing a tennis
championship contest cannot be relied
upon to sit still, the stand will be
prepared to bear double their weight,
thus allowing every person to rise
or sway in excitement without caus-
ing the structure to collapse.
Lohengrin.
Lohengrin, the knight of Swan, is
the hero of mediaeval German ro-
mances and of one of Wagner's mu-
sic dramas. In the drama the Prin-
cess Elsa of Brabant is falsely ac-
cused of the murder of her brother,
by h_ er guardian, Count Telramund,
and his wife, Orstrund. In response
to her prayer, Lohengrin, who is a
knight of the Holy Grail and a son
of Parsifal, comes in a boat, drawn
by a swan, to champion her cause.
His one stipulation is that Elsa shall
not ask his name. He fights and de-
feats Telramund and marries Elsa.
His foes, by trickery, induce her to
break her promise. Lohengrin reluc-
tantly tells his name and the swan'
appears to carry him off. The swan,
who is Elsa' brother, changes to his
original form, and a dove descends
and bears Lohengrin away in the
boat, Elsa fainting as he disappears.
Burglar Protection.
As a protection against burglary
or theft, an alarm signal, described .
in Popular Mechanics, has been de-
vised which is adaptable to: many
uses. In size, it is only a little larger
than a big watch, which it resembles.
It is loaded with ten blank cartridges;:
which are fired by a fuse on the in-
side of the device. In case of danger
it is only necessary to release a safe-
ty catch on the face of the device
and drop or throw the signal, keep-
ing hold 61 the finger ring, from
which the alarm is released' when
flung.
Cold Water.
Cold water, according to high au-
thority, is a valeable stimulant to
many, if not all, people. Its action on
the heart is said to be more stimulat-
ing than brandy. It has been known
to raise the pulse ,from 76 to more
than "100.
Too Big for Coppers- '
Son: "Father, give me a copper:"
Father: "Why, my boy; you're.,too
big to be begging for coppers."
"You're right; pa; make it a

Ants' Nests.
In' Australia there are ants which
build ,their nests along a north and
south line so ;accurately that a travel-
er may direct his course by their aid.
TSE FARM LOAN SYSTEM.
Government Plan for Leveio;jing
Farm Property.
Loans Limited to Specific Purposes
Reasonable date` of Interest for
Long Term Loans—Helps to
Straighten Estate Tangles—About
.Repayments.
(Contributed by Ontario .Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
On October 28th last the Agricul-
tural Development Board passed the
first loan under the long term farm,
loan legislation of the preelaus seep-
ston. Since that time loattoa to the.
'amount of about $800,000 heve been
passed,
In noting the progress as ehowe
by the figures quoted it is necessary
'to remember that the loans are limit-
ed to certain specific patrpeaes.
Acquiring land, erection of buildings,
straightening up an estate -- these
were the purposes in the original Act
and loans up to 66 per cent of the
value of the property could bis megde.,
To these purposes have now been
added the dtscharging et *ileum-
brancess where such enout ueea
do no, exceed 40 per cont, of the
value, and the cost of installing the`'
drains.
Three Features.
There are three leattvres of the
plan which have been comme.iied on'
favorably by applicants. 'lora are;
1. Mosley is available,
2. Rate of interest,
3. Amortization of remounts.
There has been a general 3snptss
sion that there was always plenty of
money available in rural Ontario to
Nuance all farm mortgage. otes'ed.
This is not as true now in slay ewe:
tion as formerly, and Is US Irne..atl,.
all in some sections. \restore bonds
attracted large sums of Mater from,
rural. Ontario and moreover dar►eaop-
ed an understmuding of bands and
their advantages for Inyeatraent
which did not previously' eat. Con-
sequently many applicant. far loans
have stated that there wee seer little
or no money available .in toner foam-
munity for farm 'mortgages,
Then the rate of interest at six per
cent. is regarded as reasonable for a
long term loan. It is, of course. two
or three per cent. leas than 'prevail-
ing rates in New Ontario, and there
is reason to believe that In old. On-
tario it has a stabilizing ineneetee.
But the feature which eppoars to
appeal to many is the baste of re-
payment. When the repayment Is
divided into annual instalments of
principal and interest and spread
over a period of twenty years it gives
a sense of permanence and esta,bles a
man. to make his plans accordingly.
A payment of 87.17 per thousand dol-
lars borrowed, will discharge the
entire loan in 20 years, and this is
not much more than the interest
payments which would be asked in
some cases otherwise. Most tserrow-
ers are looking forward to haying the
entire loan discharged long before
the maximum period, but ',when they
are told they can pay as muoh as they
like on dise'date after the third year
they are quite satisfied.
As to Reil Tape.
It is perhaps asking a good deal
to expect a skeptical pubiis to be-
lieve
elieve that any Government es se ui-
Government organization seer ates
without red tape. Certainly It iia the
aim of this Board to do so. To com-
ply with the Act and to sem t3nat the
interests of . the Province ate pro-
perly safeguarded there arm seine
conditions with must necessarily be
rigidly insisted upon. Within these
lines, however, the Board has en-
deavored to make the operatics of
the plan as simple as possible from
the standpoint of the beers* war .
Sometimes there is a slight slaw in
the title, making it necessary to get
the signature of someone now several
thousand miles away. It is in the
interests of the borrower, as well as
of the Board, that the title be made
absolutely clear, even if it takee
few weeks to do. so.
In this work it will be obvto*s that
inspection and valuing is a most im-
portant part. The Board is expected
and desires to serve the whole
Province. Covering such a large
territory with such a variety of con-
ditions is a big job and the Board
must .necessarily place reliance on
the information which -comes to it
from its inspectors.
Estates and Buildings.
One of the.,_.purposes fur whieh-
loans are authorized under the Act.
is for straightening up estates, and
this has been found an advantage
in a considerable number of eases;
for instance; where the property has
been left to the oldest son, with in-
structions to pay off obligations to
other members of the family.
in Old Ontario naturally the ap-
plications for loans to erect buildings
have not been numerous, but a num-
ber of such applications have been
passed. Here is a•case of a h amdred
acre farm with buildings, pact down
as worth $7,500, -free of debt. Yet
the house is only valued at $200
Hence the owner secures a loan of
$2,500, to build a new house and
spreading the payments over a period
of years will enjoy the additional
comfort while it is being paled for.
In other cases it has beea a stew
barn or improvements to some of the
existing ; buildings. Not many loans
have been granted on small holdings.
Repayments.
Repayments are probably the
final test of the success of any
loaning scheme. No repayments are
due under this, scheme until next.
fall, and hence no evidence on this,
point is available; Every precaution
has been taken, .however, do assure
repayment, and every borrower is.
given to understand that a loan is a
business proposi;cion and mutt be
treated.,on a strictly business basis.
