TELEGRAPHING WITHOUT WIRES

1t is reported that Thesla has at
length realized the hopes he has enter
tanned so fondly for these many
years-in other words he has practical
ly mastered the problem How to tel
egraph without the use of wires"
So many times have the expectations
of great inventors been disappointed,
however, that no one need marvel if
the project of the brilliant Hungarian
should prove to require further study
and experiment. But at all events he
seems to be on the right track.
In referring to the theory upon which
his new devices for world telegraphy
are based, the distinguished electrician
declares, according to the account Civ
en- of the matter in the New York Sun,
that he proposes to set the whole of the
static electricity of the earth in mo-
ton, for telegraphic purposes by TAX
ing advantage of the incompressibility
and elasticity of the electric fluid
Then he told of some of the interesting
results which he had accomplished in
studying the theory and effect of vi
brations, upon which he apparently de-
ponds for the success of his new ma
chine"
Curiously enough, Thesla says he
does not think his system will do away
with the use Of telegraph wires, but
will on the other hand make more
work for them. He adds: THE man
ner in which 1 conceived that the sys-
tenn should be used is this: Have a
machine at each commercial or politi-
cal centre and send out from each
place, under an international agree
ment, all the political, financial or
other news, to be read at every other
part of the world at the same moment.
The news could be distributed then
over the wire lines or otherwise
Altogether the world will await with
eager interest Tesla's further expert
ments in the line of transmitting cleo
trical power for indefinite distance
without wires. If we are ever to COM
municate with the possible inhabitants
of Mars, it must be under the Tesla
system, or some other based on the
same theory.-Boston Globe.

ception of the first inning the Bron-
chos failed to get more than hit an
game, having but two errors to their
credit, while they found "Red" Her
bert for nine hits, seven of which were
made at the proper time. 1t was San
Antonio's inability to hit that lost the
game. While Mr.. Partridge, Austin's
pitcher kept the Bronchos' hits scatter
ed, he struck out only two men, which
shows that San Antonio was only hit
ting in hard luck.

1t was a disastrous trip from an UNI
pirical standpoint and dissatisfaction
prevails on all sides. The first trouble
broke out at Houston and it was Jack
Phelan's misfortune to be in the midst
of it. Everybody that knows Phelan
will admit that he is we'll versed in
baseball. He is strictly up to date on
the rules and knows the habits of the
players, for he has associated with
them-from Old Man Arson down the
line. He is stocked with an inexhaust-
i've supply of baseball stories and sta
tistics taken from facts dating back
to the infancy of the game. He is an
authority on the game, but does not
parade himself as such.

But the people of Houston will not
believe this. They say they have been
robbed" and that Phelan robbed them
under instructions from President
Heuermann. That's what the Hous-
ton newspapers said-and they ought
to be the voice of the people. Mr.
Heuermann is one of San Antonio's
most popular young men and is too
well known for his fairness to need
any praise. He is lover of all manly
sports and is always ready to encour-
age them. He has been identified with
some of the leading athletic exhibitions
that have ever taken place in this city,
and he has never had anything to do
with an event that had the odor of a
fake about it. If so he was one of the
victims Mr.. Heuermann is young man

Phelan was appointed from San An
tonic, the league headquarters, and for
that reason should not have been
scheduled for game in which the San
Antonio team was a contestant. 1t
only gave the opposing team an ex-
cellent opportunity to cry, Robbed by
the umpire!" in the event that San
Antonio should win. But Mr.. Heuer-
mann knows that his 'umpires exercise
only their best judgment, for that is
one of his instructions, and knew that
the game would be decided on its mer-
its in the honest opinion of the UNI
pire, regardless as to the contesting
teams. He therefore ordered Phelan
to umpire the San Antonio series at
Houston.

President Heuermann, after giving
several men an opportunity to show
their fitness for the staff of umpires,
some of whom have proven dismal fail
ures, prevailed upon Jack Phelan to
try the position. Jack was appointed
and went to North Texas, where he
gave general satisfaction. But his
troubles began at Houston.

A gentleman who makes his home at

a fine st. Bernsrd which deserves a

a strong penchaut for stopping runa-
way horses, and the last time the stop
was accomplished just in time to ave
a party of ladies from serious injury
and perhaps worse. His master was

Saturday when he was startled by a
cry of 'Look out" He turned and

out Of the way of a runaway, which
was tearing down the avenue. just
ahead there was a party of ladies who
could not possibly escape what seemed
certain death to some of them, when
the dog, who had been following and
who seemed by instinct to comprehend
the impending tragedy, gave a leap
and caught the lines of the runaway
between his teeth, his great weight
bringing the frightened animal
to his launches just as he was about
to strike one OF the ladies, who seemed
too terrified to move.-Minneapolis
