CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

Active preparations are now being
made by the post Office engineers for a.
most important experiment IN wireless
telegraphy. The reference is to the
scheme for connecting Sark with Guern-
sey by the new means OF communica-
tion. This has been talked about for
some time, so that anticipation Will
give an, added interest to the practical
experiment. 1T remains to be seen,
an official remarked TO me, "how thor
oughly the thing can be done. Neces-
sarily it will have to be proved in a
satisfactory way before permanent
apparatus is laid down"
There is not anywhere, at this mo-
ment, such a link OF the communica-
tlon as we shall find provided between
Sark and Guernsey, suppOsing that
everything goes well. The people OF
Sark, although they hardly form a large
community, are naturally anxious to be
placed in telegraphic communication
with the outside world. Now, as 1t
happens, the bottom of the sea between
the little island and its larger neighbor,
Guernsey is very rough and rocky.
This fact means that a marine cable
would be difficult to keep in repair, that
its maintenance would involve consid-
erable expense. Hence the idea of ap-
plying wireless telegraphy.
The name of W. II. Preece is very
familiar in relation to signaling
through space without wires His plan
is based on the utilization of electro
magnetic waves Of very low frequency,
and depends essentially on the rise and
fall of currents in the primary wire. on
the other hand, Signor Marconi utihzes
electric waves of very high frequency,
and his plan Is dependent upon the rise
and fall Of electric force in any given
sphere 1t may be taken for granted
that both methods will be tested during
the experiments between Guernsey and
Sark. The one thing that remains is to
fix a date for these, and that will be
done within the next week or two.
The past achievements of the G.. p. o.
engineers with wireless telegraphy
carry them a long way toward success
In the Channel Islands. Take one case.
Two years ago the cable between Oban
and the Isle of Null broke down, and
no ship was available to repair it. In
| the circumstances an effort was made
to establish communication by means
of parallel wires on each side Of the
strait. In other words, signals were
transmitted across the strait-for the
effcrt was entirely SUCCESSFULLY cleo
tro-magnetic waves On Salisbury Plain
| SignOr MarcOni has sent messages along
/ four miles of space. In the Bristol
/ Channel eight miles have been covered,
nor was that for a moment regarded as
a limit. The attention of many people
will soon be directed to the stretch of
sea which washes between. Guernsey

A LONDON IDEA.

On the subject of bicycling one of the
London weeklies recently told its read
ers that the custom in America was to
dress for wheeling to suit the time Of
day. "In the morning" it remarked,
"the costume is the ordinary riding
dress, but in the afternoon the women
wear toilettes of silk, or mOire, and the
men wear light trousers and cutaway
coats and tall collars In the evening
the women appear decollette, with
long gloves and dress as long as con-
venient, while the gentlemen wear
swallow tails, keeping them out of
harms way by means of convenient
hook and eye The entire idea is due to
an enterprising Woman's Club. and
though It is an excellent plan for hot
Summer evenings, she will have to
think up some sort Of amendment for
the Winter, unless she has murderous
intentions against the entire club"

which Relate to the Management OF
Children.
Fenelon, in his teachings, promul-
gates some excellent views for the guild
ance of mothers who have in hand the
training of the young. Some of his pre-
cepts are as follows:
If a child's disposition is good. it is
possible to make him docile, patient.
cheerful and quiet, while if he is neg
lected he may become irritable, nervoua
and restless for the rest of his life.
His body, which is supple. and his mind
which has not been fixed upon any par
ticular object. inclines toward evil, the
seed of dissipation develops in him
and becomes the source of innumerable
evils after he has reached manhood.
Children notice everything, but
speak little except as we encourage
them to talk. This should be avoided.
Too often the pleasure we take in the
company OF attractive children makes
us spoil them; they see they are looked
upon with favor; whatever they do
or say gives pleasure, consequently they
grow TO believe the world will be al
ways occupied with them.
Donot compel children to seem to like
people or things that repel them. Give
no lessons in deceit, but encourage
them to speak their thoughts with can
dor and righteousness.
Do not seem tired of a child's ques-
tions; they are the overtures which ma
ture gives you TO make instruction
easier.
1t is important to take care Of chill
dren without letting them see that one
thinks much about them. They should
be made 20 understand that we watch
their behavior in kindness. and because
they need to be corrected, not because
we admire them.
Never, unless absolutely necessary,
assume a severe and imperious man.
ner to frighten children. They are. as
n rule, timid and bashful. To frighten
them by severity is to close the heart
and take away the confidence without
which it is impossible to hope for any
good results of education. Make them
love you. let them be free with you. sc
that they win not fear to show you theil

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY

The ratification Of the treaty by the
Senate of Hawaii was announced in
our dispatches some days ago. There
was never any doubt that the Hawaiian
senators would approve il. They did
not give it more than two hours con-
sideration. They did not care partic-
ularly what it contained. They don't
represent the people Of Hawaii They
represent only thousand or two car
pet-baggers who grabbed Hawaii with
the assistance OF this country. II the
natives possessed courage and had a
leader they would run them out of the
country. No doubt many of them
have got possession of rich lands at
mere nominal prices, and wah't annex
alton with this country in order to feel
secure in their possessions.
If annexation is accomplished Ha-
waii will, in all probability, become a
source Of trouble to us. The population
is far from being a desirable one. Mixed
with the natives are many Japanese
and Chinese. No doubt the Americans
and Europeans are, as a rule, mere ad-
venturers.
President Cleveland understood the
situation in Hawaii fully. He did not
approve the method by which the ma
tives were deprived OF their govern
ment. II may be true that it always
has been the policy of the United States
that their influence should be in the
ascendancy in Hawaii. but they could
exercise control there without annex
ing the islands They would gain moth
ing by having Hawaii as a part OF
their territory. They now have all th'
benefits they could get by annexing the
islands. BY annexing them they would
gain practically nothing, and would as
sumo a burden that would become trou
blesome.-S News.
