SIGNALING BY MEANS Of KITES

Battledore and shuttlecock in Japan.
Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett tells of
the sports and pastimes of boys and
girls in her article on The Little JAP
anese at Home in May St. Nicholas.
Miss Hodnett says: Playing ball and
b%attledore and shutt1ecock, as we'll as
kite-f1ying, belong especially to the
first OF the year. The balls for little
girls are made Of cotton cord covered
with strands of bright-colored silk, and
the children become very skillful in
making these balls themselves. Some
times the ball is merely bounced by the
child as she kneels before it; some
times she stands, and, striking It to the
ground, whirls quickly around in time
to strike 1t again as 1t rises. Battle
dore and shuttlecock is played in the
streets not only by girls in twos and
threes and in circles, but also by a
whole family. Father, mother, sisters
and brothers, all Join In the game,
knocking the shuttlecock from one to
= another; and If one fails to hit it in
time to keep it from the ground, all
the other players rush to give that one
a light blow with the bat. Sometimes
the punishment for failure is having a
circle drawn round the eyes, Or the
face otherwise marked. The bat is of
wood with one side plain, the other or
namented with the picture OF some
well-known character Of history or ro-
nance, or a singing girl. The shuttle
cock consists of a small, round center
piece, painted or gilded, stuck round
with feathers, as petals are ranged
round the center of a flower.

wireless, Topography.

In the attempt to turn wireless tel
egraphy''to practical account and make
it a commercial success, Mr. WI. Clarke
of New York has produced an ap-
paratus for sending and receiving tel
egraphic signals without wires, which
is to be placed upon the market. Where
for any reason it is desired not to, use
Morse signals, a special receiver is
provided. which is furnished either
with a vibrating bell, Or with an in
candescent lamp, the latter enabling
the person who receives the message
TO read it visually. Inasmuch as Mar,
coni's experiments have shown that
Geographic signals can already be sent
ten miles, or more, without wires, il
is hoped that the new system will have
a rapid development. "

New York Sun: The skill displayed

landsman, who had a vague idea that
these things were supplied by govern

as the men get their sea legs and
begin to have some pride in their APP
pearance they get their uniforms made
by the tailors in the crew. and much

Cuban imports and exports were valued

trade had dropped off about one-half;
