WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.


Wireless telegraphy has been success
fully introduced in San Francisco.
When Professor Albert Van Naillen res
turned from Europe two months ago
he brought information which years of
study had given 10 Signor Marconi and
Lieutenant Della Riccia, OF tne Italian
engineering corps. Taking into con
sultation his son R Leo Vsn der Nailien,
ne began to construct his apparatus. a,
last complete set Of instruments $1,000
upon his work table, snd iA5 lr3e lof

pressed, and the receiver produced
distinct reply, showing that the workers
had brought the experiment Go suc-
cessful issue. Message after message
was ratified oil, each cash and cot o =

creased, and still waves OF tosting cleo

destination. Walis were interposcd oa-
tween the instruments. Through these
oiies OF brick ana mortar the current
made its way recording on me souod5i
each movement made by the trans

acements, LAST Thursday was set lol

to be interposed between the sending

This gave such q distance as would
prove the utility of the discovery, anG
the instrument clicked of dots snd
dashes that were transmitted through
hundreds of feet of space.

ODD Items of Food,

The Digger Indians are not the only
people in the world who eat dirt. III
Sweden tons of earth are eaten annually.
while in Finland clay is sometimes mixed
with bread. In fact, clay eaters are
found IN all parts of the world, espe-
cially in the neighborhood of the EQUATOR.
The custom is not SO odd, when one
knows that in some parts of the West
Indies great delicacy is a caterpillar
found on the palm tree. Equally good is
the Chinese taste for cats, dogs, rats and
serpents; the Hindoo pariah's love for
putrid carrion. as well as the more general
appetite for elephant meat But none of
these queer tastes come up to that of the
people of Cochin China. who much pre-
fer rotten eggs to fresh ones.

Thoroughbred horses, except in mo-

perfect sight. cool nerve and trained to
making quick decisions, frequently be-
come quite as deXterous drivers as men,
and are often able to control as many

While four-in-hand driving, or coaching
among American women is somewhat I'M
usual, there are a number who have re-
Gently taken it up and have become we'll
skilled in the art. As & sport it is in the
first rank, for few are insensible to the
pleasure OF travelling through a pictur-
esQue country and handling the ribbons
over four well-matched and spirited
horses. One seldom sees women driving
four-in-hand through the city parks or
streets. for there is little or no public road
coaching in this country. What is done
Is due to private enterprise, a fact de-
plored by enthusiasts of the whip, for a
good deal of the spirit of the sport is
lost through the lack of the public coach,
which gives the greatest impetus to four
finland driving in general.
To be a good fouT:Ii-hand driver, or
whip, one must either take a course of
instruction under some good master or
learn through the hardy school of expert
ence. A number of our best whips are
pupils of the celebrated Hewlett of Paris,
