From the Ladies' Home Journal
Great social reforms belong to Queen
Victoria's reign. The degrading practice of
fiogging has been abolished in the armies
and navies of America and England Chill
dren are no longer permitted to work in
the mines OF Britain. Press gangs no
longer force men into the service of the
queens navy. The Red Cross Society, ap-
proved by forty-nine nations. has softened
the horror Of war. The transportation of
criminals. with its many evils. has been
suppressed Executions are no longer con-
Quoted in public. The treatment of GRIM
iEals has become humane. Factory laws
and building acts make life easier for the
poor.
Inventive science has made marvellous
progress In every department during VIC

bridges have surprised the world. Travel
has been wonderfully Quickened by street
cars. cabs. trolleys. cable cars, elevated
In 1887 there were no typewriters. no pas
senger elevators. no modern bicycles. no
soda water fountains, no horseless car
riages, no chemical fire extinguishers, no
ironclads, no perfecting presses. Fully
chronicling the inventive progress of the
last six decades would make II seem az
IL nothing of real consequence to mans
comfort had been done before 1887.
When Victoria was called to the throne
the United Kingdom contained 5000 900
people. Today II has over $1,000. .000 The
wise men OF the time said the nation

800, ,316 square miles. covering n per cent
of the land Of the world. The United
States at the time OF Victoria's coronation
had only 1000, 600 people: today IL has S0.-

officer of the day put sudden end to their con-
lectures. Only a moment did the commander
listen. Then, quick and startling, came the
order, Sound to armsi' and within the min
ute the stirring peal of the cavalry trumpet
was answered by the hoarse thunder of the
snare-drum, beating the long roll. Out from
their dog tents and half-fin:shed log huts
came the bewildered men. Often as the alarm
had sounded on the frontier there was thrill
and ring about III this time that told Of action
close at hand.
Out from their little huts, hurrying into
their frock coatsyands betting on their swords
as they glared about them for the cause OF
the uproar, came the officers, old and young
fields of the war days-one two, only,
youngsters fresh from the Point. At many
a doorway and unglaZed window appeared
the pallid faces Of women and children, some
OF them weeping in mingled fright and DIS
tress. In front of the log guardhouse the
sergeant quickly formed the two reliefs not
on post On their designated parades the
companies rapidly fell in, while sCern-voiced
non commissioned officers rebuked the lag
CARDS and aided them into their belts, and
each first sergeant took rapid note OF his
men. No need to call the roll, skulker
would have been detected and kicked into
the ranks at the instant. Over under the
rough board shelter of the quartermaster g
employees the workmen came tumbling out
in shirt sleeves, many Of them running to
the nearest officer and begging for a gun
and a place in the fight, for now the firing
was loud and lively. Down by the swift
flowing stream the tethered horses OF the
cavalry plunged and neighed in excitement
and the mules in the quartermaster's corral
set up their irrepressible bray. For five
minutes there was clamor, but no confusion
Then disciplined silence reigned again. all

suddenly the prairie seemed to Jet fire. The
foremost horse reared plunged and went
rolling over and over. They saw-plainly
saw through their glasses, and shrek OF
agony and horror went up from among the
women at the sight-half a dozen painted
sayages spring out from behind the ledge,
some pony back, some afoot, and bear
down on the stricken form OF the slender
young rider now feebly striving to rise from
the turf; saw the empty hand outstretched,
brandished war clubs pinning the helpless
boy to earth and beating in the barred, de-
fenseless head; saw the orderly dragged
from under his struggling horse and butch
knives at work tearing away the hot red
scalps, then ripping off the blood-soaked
clothing, and to the music of savage shouts
of glee and triumph, hacking, hewing, mutt
lating the poor remains, reckless of the
bullets that came buZzing along the turf from

when the distances are short and the
receiving and transmitting devices are
! in sight of each other, it being, of course,
understood that the receiver must be
tuned to the transmitter When the
distance to be traversed is great or if
there are obstructions to be overcome,
one of the wings of the receiver is re-
placed by kite covered with tinfOil, or
metal plate at the top of high pole.
In this case the other side of the CO.
herer is grounded as is also the second
ary of the transmitter. It was discov
cred that mirrors help the action of this
device, probably by greatly concentrat-
! ing the waves.
While the scientists are of the opinion
that there is no insuperable obstacle to
the increasing of the power of Marconi's
apparatus so that it may be able to
transmit signals for a much greater
distance than is now possible, neverthe-
less the impression is that the apparatus
will be commercially available almost
Immediately for the transmission of sig
nails between ships, fleets, garrisons and
for other short distance uses.
In Great Britain there is far more in
terest in Marconi's apparatus than in
/
the work which Tesla has been doing.
This is not wholly due to the fact that
Marconi is an English citizen, and that
his labors have been fostered by the
ablest scientists of that country. He
made no preliminary announcement Of
what he proposed to do, as Tesla Gid
some years ago. Marconi worked in
secret, almost in mystery, always in sill

his apparatus and secured the protec-
tion of the British Patent Office for it.
Tesla works in secret and in something
of romantic mystery, but he has been
willing to take his friends somewhat
into his confidence, and to say that he
believed that he was well on the road to
the discovery of the secret of instantan-
eous transmission of intelligence by
natural media,
Scientists say that even in this latest
demonstration which Tesla has made
he simply reaffirms what he has so often
said he believed to be within the possi-
bilities of his intellectual power, the dis
covery of method of transmission
without wire, but we do not know what
his apparatus is, excepting that it is one
which requires an enormous voltage, and
one which will cause such disturbance
of the earth's electrical conditions as
will enable the apparatus TO do its ap-

A Relic of Mendelssohn.

Those who visit Burnham Beeches-
\ and there is no more enjoyable outing
for a summers afternoon-should not
forget to see an interesting relic Of
MendelssOhn that is preserved in the
garden of the little villa opposite the
White House, once the home of the
historian Grote. The relic consists of
broken tombstone, which was erected
by Mrs. GrOte to commemorate a spot
in the garden where Mendelssohn loved
to sit and compose when staying at
the Beeckes. The stone is defaced not
so much by time as by the mischievous
village urchin, but the following lines
can still be read:
To mark the cherished spot which once he
prest
A humble mouvners hand hath raised a
stone,
For he has sunk to his eternal rest
Untimely parted from his young renown
Ere his rich gifts and inspiration bore
Their perfect fruit in his creative mind
The lines are somewhat stilted, but
as an excuse for their perpetuation,
Mrs. Grote declared that Mendelssohn
gained many inspirations from the
spot.-Westminste Gazette

the raindrops evaporate during their

Mr.. Saville is likely also to pay a
visit to Sonora, in Northwestern Mexi-
CO, where a supposed Chinese inscrip-
ton has been found on a bowlder. He
believes it not at all unlikely the Chi

set OF trade currents would carry their
vessels thither. and it is recorded their
junks have been wrecked upon that
coast in the last century.
The expedition will leave in a few
weeks and will be in the field in Sep
tember and continue through the winter.
Some of the fruits of Mr.. Saville's pre-
vious research in Mexico are already
in the American Museum. Parallel re-
searches in chronological problems are
now being conducted for the museum
by other expeditions, which may be
noted here Dr. LumholtZ has returned
from Mexico, after three years spent
among the Indian tribes, and is now
preparing his report.
DR.. A. F. Vandelier is at work upon
the civilization of the IncaS, and fifty
cases of material from the borderland
of Bolivia and Peru are on their way
hither. His memoir giving an account
of the first results of his expedition
will be published this winter. He IS
now exploring the ruins of TTahuanaco,
where stands the monolithic gateway,
the most celebrated ruin of South
America.
This is near Lake Titicaca, whence
came the civilization of the Incas. Only
in the highlands of Thibet has a civili-
zation Subsisted at so lofty an eleva-
ton as on the shores of this mountain
lake 10000 feet above the sea. DR..
Vandelier will work northWard during
the winter into Peru visiting the ruins
of Cuzco, the great City of the Sun.
The last expedition, that conducted by
George H. Pepper under the auspices
of the Messrs. Hyde of this city, is
also among the ruins of a vanished
race. 1t has been searching those
strange cities of refuge where the cliff
dwellers found safety from the fiercer
tribes of the plain. It's first year was
spent in lower Colorado and Utah. 1t
