SPARK TELEGRAPHY.
Almost Limitless Possibilities of the
Method of TcleEraphfng WITH
out the Use of Wires.

Privy Counsellor DR.. slaby, of Char
lottenburg, Germany, contributes an
article on "The New Telegraphy." DR..
Slaby conducted series of experiments
in telegraphing without the use OF
wires before the German emperor. He
says, in concluding his article:
II have often been asked in what d.
rections and in what field the use of
spark telegraphy might be employed.
Our knowledge of the phenomenon in
question is, so far, very modest thing;
we are really in the very opening chap
tiers. Who would care to say to-day how
far, and whittier, the path will lead us?
do not purpose to paint pictures Of the
future, but 1 believe can state with
emphasis that for certain purposes the
new telegraphy is ripe to-day, and
well worthy of consideration. The most
important appear to me to lie in the
military field. Besieged fortresses, and
advancing armies which have the en-
envy between them, could make use of
spark telegraphy to-day as method of
communication. The system works
just as surely on bright day as by
night and in fog, though, to be sure,
only in cases where balloons can be
employed, since the distances reached
when towers, masts and high trees were
used would hardly suffice in cases of
this kind.
"Quite as important is the usefulness
of the discovery for the navy. Expert
ments OF last summer have made per-
fectly certain the possibility of using
captive balloons on the high sea. In
place of balloons, without doubt, one
might use the modern kites, brought
to such a pitch of perfection in America,
as those of Hargrave and others.
owe it to the kindness of an acquaint-
ance in New York that know some
thing of these excellent kites, and
few experiments have already shown
me that they are perfectly adapted to
the carrying of thin wires.
''There is a future for the use of
spark telegraphy for lighthouses and
lightships. The receiving apparatus
can easily be made in handy form,
not bulkier than a chronometer. On
the approach to lighthouse it would
not only give signs, but would tick out
the name of the lighthouse; it appears
even possible to provide the receiving
apparatus with regulator, to be adj
justed at will according to whether
greater or smaller sensitiveness is de-
sired, whereby the distance of the light
house can be read off.
An undeniable weakness of spark tel
egraphy is this: Every telegram is i'm
parted to the whole world; every re-
ceiver can take it up. Owing to this
reason, for the present it's application
will have to be confined to particular
cases. For practical purposes, if one
desires to protect ones self from hav-
ing dispatches read by others, there re-
mains only the use of signs arranged
beforehand. In war, to be sure, teleg-
raphy would become impossible as soon
as a~hostile spark generator should
cause permanent disturbance of the
characters. A very interesting battle
might occur in the waves of ether."-

to wander about hopelessly until he
starves to death.
Although the Alaska summer is short,
two broods of mosquitoes hatch out
each year and are ready for business
from one to ten seconds after they leave
the water. It rains good deal along
the Yukon, and rain is welcomed, for
it drives the mosquitoes to cover. They
hide under leaves and branches until
the shower is over; then they come out
boiling with rage at the time they have
been forced to spend in idleness, and
the miner has a harder time than ever
after his respite.
Mosquitoes and snowfakes are not
contemporaries in the states, but in
Alaska it is different. Snow does not
bother them so much as rain, and an
early snow may fall while they are still
on the wing. Fog does not choke them,
either. They appear to like it. They
float about in it as in ambush, and take
the unwary prospector by surprise.

In village in the west of Ireland a
few weeks ago child wandered away
into the country and was lost. Its anx-
ious parents, after weary and unavail-
ing search, reported the matter to the
constable in charge of the village. After
carefully questioning them he told
them that any further search for the
child would be useless without certain
prellminaries, because it was clear to
him that the poor child had been car
rled off by the fairies, according to
their welltknown custom. The consta-
BILE told them to make a fire and burn
in 1t as much of a certain herb as they
could find. They did so at once. Then,
according to his instructions, they went
again in search of the child. He had de.
clared that the smoke of the burning
herb would force the fairies to bring
the child back, and, sure enough, on
