exciting questions which had been before
the country in years, had concluded with
a recommendation so ambiguous that it
could be the occasion of controversy.
Other portions of the message showed
that the President was a master of clear
and lucid English, yet in presenting his
commentators he had done so In words
that taxed the ingenuity of the gentleman
from Ohio to make clear what ne meant.

independence of Cuba why had he not
said so?

WAVE SOUNDS THROUGH STONE.
A Wireless Telegraph From War
Ships to Shore.
From the philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
Lawrence, Kan, April 9.-Prof. l.. /.
Blake of Kansas University has success
fully conducted his wireless telegraphy
experiments with a receiver similar to that
of telephone. The receiver is a sensil
tive apparatus operated by the striking
of the sound waves against it, which in
turn operates the telegraph instrument as
perfectly as can be done by wire. The
sound waves will pass through brick or
stone walls wood, iron and any other sub
stance and sill operate the receiver
Prof. Blake says he does not believe the
new discovery will ever take the place of
the present method of biography, but Il
can be made of great value by signaling
from the shore to ships ten of fifteen miles
from the coast when the view Is oJscured
by fog or violent atmospheric disturbances.
and Will be of inestimable service in coast
defense work
With wire running up the mast of the
vessel and a receiving machine In the hold
Of a ship sound waves sent from the shore
in striking the wire would make the com
munication as perfect as could be desired
While conducting some sea signaling ex-
periments off Sandy Hook two years ago
the government lent it's aid, and Commo-
dofe Schley, now IN charge or the flying
squadron was the officer associated with
Prof. Blake. n0
Schley watched the success of the ex-
pertinent with much interest. and reported
to the government what had been done,
and It was the knowledge thus gained that
has caused the government 10 open com
muuications with Blake at this time.
Capt. Wilde, OF the ram Katahdin, was
also associated with him in the work, as
was also Fighting Bobby Evans, both
now in the naval service.
