TELEGRAPHY WITHOUT WIRES.

The Wonderful Electrical Possibilities of
the Future Discussed.
Last night at the third annual dinner Of
the Institution of Electrical Engineers
Prof. William Crookes, in proposing the
toast of the evening. Electricity in Rela-
ton to Science said that they had nap
PLY outgrown the preposterous notion that
research in any department. of science was
mere waste of time. says the Pail Mail Ga
Zette. The facts of elactrolysis were by no
means either completely detected or co-or-
dinated. They pointed to the great proba-
biiity that electricity WAS atomic; that an
electrical atom was as definite a quantity as
a hemic atom.
1t had been computed that in a single
cubic foot of the ether which filled all space
there were locked up 10, OC0 foot tons of en-
ergy which had hitherto escaped notice. To
unlock this adj store and subdue it
to the service of man was a task which
awaited the electrician of the future. The
latest researches gave well-founded hopes
that this vast store-house of power was not
hof elessly inaccessible.
Up to the present time they had been ac-
qualnted with only q very narrow range of
ethereal vibrations, but the researches of
Lodge in England and Hertz in Germany
gave an almost infinite range of ethereal
vibrations or electrical rays from wave-
lengths of thousands of miles down to a
few feet. Here was unfolded a new and
astonishing universe-one which it was
hard to conceive should be powerless to
Transmit and impart intelligence. Prof.
Nlkola Tesla had lighted q room by pro-
ducing in it such a condition that an illu-
minatiEg appliance might be placed any
where and lighted without being electric
ally connected with anything. He sus-
pended two sheets of metal, each connected
with one Of the terminals OF the coil.
If an exhausted tube was carried any
where between these sheets, and placed
anywhere, it remained always luminous.
The extent to which this method of illumi-
nation might be practically available ex-
pertinent alone could decide. From Tesla's
researches it appeared that q true flame
could now be produced without chemical
aid. The slower vibrations to which he
(the speaker) had referred revealed the be-
wildering possibility of teleRraphy without
wires, posts, cables, or any of our present
costly appliances. 1t was vain to attempt
to picture the marvels of the future. Prog
ress, as Dean Swift observed, might be too
fast for endurance. Sufficient for this gen
Grafton were the wonders thereof.

Frew's Socks.

Samuel d. Frew came to this country
from Belfast, North Ireland, six years ago.
He lik. the American climate and The
American people, but he could not endure
American stockings. He loneed for the
comfortable, home-knit hosiery Of old Ire
land. And SO finally he wrote to his
ings. She was glad to please her boy, and
so she knitted six pairs of Irish stockings
and sent them TO her son.
But she didn'b write about them, for she
wanted them to be q surprise, Ind the first
young Frew knew about the matter was
when a bulky document arrived from the
custom house. 1t was as follows:
Samuel d. Frew to the Morris European
and American Express company, custom
house brokers and forwarding agents,
Dr.:
10 specific duty on l pound manufact-
ured wool at 49114 cents. ............. so

Reirnbursements, charges and freight. so
United States bonded stoi age and labor 81
Carriage, shipping or delivery .......... .25
POSTAGE, %
Custom house, entries, etc............. 30
6J.IG
When Frew looked at the bill be thought
the custom house WAS at fault, 30 he went
home and hunted up q tariff book and fig
ured out just what the tariff ought to be.
Here is the way he made it:
AID valorem duty on articles valued at
81, at ~ per cent, i. 80
Specific duty on ! pound manufactured
wool ut 35 cents ,35
Iotal $l. 10
Frew went back to the express office in
dignant at the thought of being SO imposed
upon, and handed the clerk the bill as he
mace it out. The clerk looked at it and
laughed. "Oh, that was under the old
tariff BILL" said he. This other bill is
made out according to Mr.. McKinley's new
tariff laws.''
"You won't accept my bill, then?' said
Frew.
NO." answered the official.
Frew thought for q moment. Then he
called the clerk aside and whispered con-
identially:
"You tell that id Mckinley that he
can have my stockings"
The stocking are still at the custom
house, and after the expiration of tho re-
CURED time they will be sold at public
auction.-The Tariff.

Gov. RUSSELL, in a temperate discus
sion Of the political outlook in Massa-
chusettp, expresses the opinion that
while the state has not gone over to the
democracy to a certainty there is strong
possibility that it could be carried on
the tariff reform issue by his party.
There is no doubt that the Massa-
chusetts manufacturers, who have been
9 potent in the politics Of that state,
have been hard hit by the Mckinley
bill. They are working under conditions
which make it absolutely necessary that
they should have free raw materials.
Special investigation by Bradstreet's of
the conditions and prospects of the
leading industries Of New England
show continued continued depression in
the leather, boot and shoe and wooden
goods trades. The only industry that is
prosperous is that Of rubber manufac-
turing, which is controlled by a trust.
For two successive years the democrats
OF Massachusetts have made a vigorous
fight for the relief Of the industries of
that state, and they have won. The
state now has seven congressman out of
twelve who are pledged to vote for the
repeal or modification Of the Mckinley
law. The revolution in the politics of
the state is not likely to go backward.
The oppressed industries will not rest
until they have obtained the legislation
they need. Stranger things have hap
pened in politics than that the casting
Of the electoral vote Of the state for the
democratic presidential candidate next
year.

what they were ordered not to do in the

that it was . poor rule that did not work
both ways. They proceeded precisely on

In his mandamus in the Peck case. They

THE Hon. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., is a re-
publican in whom there is no guile. In
an interview in the Washington Post he
says: mckinley is the logical candidate
OF the party for the presidency next
year. He represents and embodies the
idea Of protection in its pure and un-
diluted form. To nominate Mr.. Blaine
would be to forsake the line Of policy
laid down in the Mckinley bill, and to
venture in the doubtful and debatable
field of international dicker in the mat
ter Of tariff"
MI. Nimmo might have added that
Mr.. Blaine is unsound on another cardi-
nal principle of republicanism. He is
opposed 70 the Force bill, which is also
favored by Maj. Mckinley and Benjamin
Harrison. In fact, Mr.. Blaine's nomina.
ton is generally desired by those repub-
lioans who are willing to confess that
their party is wrong on all the great
questions of the day.
