was even whispered around the camp.
That fact. however, of itself cuts no
big figure-several men in this regi-
ment have learned, as the result of
these months of soldier life, that the
officers of regiment have a good deal
of business of state" which no man in
the ranks is supposed to know anything
about. Certain officers and certain of
the men have learned this by expert
ence. and some Of them have been
harshly disciplined into the knowledge
of the fact that between officers and
men there is "a great gulf fixed"--and
so much the worse for the officer or
the private who ventures to cross that
gulf We must be mustered out be-
fore the time comes when. in this regi-
ment, the men are as good as the
officers"
1t is just about the same in regard to
politics, There were amusing efforts
to import large invoices of that into
regimental circles even before the Zea-
landia was up to the dock. Some of

Value of a Laugh.

From the Youths Companion.
The value of a good-natured laugh
may be rated low by some people, but
many writer's have attested it's worth
in no measured terms.
1t Is not surprising that the merry
Charles Lamb should have said: "A
laugh IS worth a hundred groans in any
market but from the lips, of the SOM
Der Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear, No man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or irreclaimably bad"
1t was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that what was talked of as the
golden chain of JoVe was nothing but
a succession of laughs, a chromatic
scale of merrment reaching from earth
to Olympus"
II am persuaded" wrote Lawrence
Sterne, that every time man smiles
but much more so when he laughs
it adds something to his fragment of
life"
Last of all comes the verdict of DR..
Holmes, given with his own inimitable
humor: THE riotous tumult of a
laugh ! take it, is the mob law of the
features. and propriety the magistrate
who reads the riot act.''

MARCONT THE WIZARD WORKS At PULLING WAR PROBLEMS
Special Correspondence of the Standard

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
New York. Oct. 1O,-The presence in
this country of Signor Marconi, the
wizard of wireless biography, has
aroused renewed interest in the sue
cessful new method of communicating
between two widely separated points
by means of air waves. He has given
an interesting outline of his life and
principal achievements in the world IF
science; leading from his first interest
in wireless telegraphy to the grand Sc
quel to which he has succeeded at las
in bringing it at the present time.
Il am a Florentine by BIRTH he said
though my mother was an English
woman. My early life was spent in
Florence and l early displayed predj-
lection for science, and soon after be-
came interested in the Herman Helm
rich-Hertz's practical demonstration of
the validity of Clerk Maxwell's theory
of wave propagation. Hertz was ap-
pointed by the German government 10
prove, or dsprove, this theory of Max
wells, and, though he started out with
soon concluded that it was correct, bur
he could discover no means of sending
or receiving ether waves more than a
hundred yards.
The theory of wave propagation eX-
planned simply. is that electric currents
discharged IN the ar Senu out waves,
or oscillations of ether through space.
| went to work upon the theory that If
waves of ether or electricity could be
sent hundred yards through the air.
there was no reason why they could not
be sent as many miles, so after much
experimenting and many disappoint-
ments I finally succeeded in pelfecting
an apparatus by which I could send
a message through the air a distance
of nearly hundred miles and feel sure
that in short space of time there will
be no limit of distance TO which mes
sage can be sent"
Some Practical Tests.
Sienor Marconi reviewed all of his
most important experiments. His de-
scription e the English fleet maneu
Ners was most interesting. A transport
bringing a food supply was sent out
from Canada to England and the Eng
lish naval department assigned two
fleets to vancouver; one to go out,
meet the incoming vessel and bring
it safely to port, the other, much
larger and faster one, to cut 1T off and
capture il.
AS the protecting fleet went out to
find and protect the transport, two of
its fastest vessels were sent on ahead
TO locate it. One of these two, the
Europa. Outsailed the other. the Juno,
by 40 miles. and when it had met the
transport, Marconi's assistant on the
Europa telegraphed through the air to
Marconi on the Juno. who in his turn

ALL HANDS ASKED To TURN
IN WHEN THE SOLDIERS COME

The soldiers welcome committee was
engaged yesterday in trying to arrange
with the restaurants for feeding the
soldiers ON the day of the reception and
the morning after. The ladies, it is
true, will lunch them in royal style at
the track on their arrival, but the men
are bound to get hungry again toward
evening, and it is the desire of the
committee that they shall pay nothing
for their meals on that day. 1t is pro-
posed to give them their suppers and
their breakfasts the next morning be-
fore their departure for their homes
in various parts of the state.
The problem,' the committee had in
hand was how to have the soldiers fed
at the restaurants without having
them charged. for it. They could not
be taken care of at any one restaurant
and could not be fed in a body, for no
one restaurant could begin to handle
them. There seems no feasible way OF
giving them a second public dinner. 1t
was finally decided to issue a form OF
coupon ticket and give them to the
soldiers, good at any one of certain
restaurants. The soldiers can give the
coupons to the restaurant man, eat
their fill and the restaurant can send
the coupons to the committee Tor set
tlement.
One restaurant yesterday offered TO
ed by soldiers. 1t is believed that otner
restaurants will be equally llperai. a
letter was sent yesterday to number
Of restaurant men ASKING tnell now
many soldiers they can feed and what
rate they will make. The committee
thinks the restaurant men should pc
willing to supply the soldiers at bare
cost. At any rate, it is Butte's de
termination that the soldiers shall pay
nothing for their meals for "a hours
after their arrival in the city.
Many of the soldiers who belong in
other cities WILL of course, be taken in
charge at once by the reception COM
mfttees of their respective towns. Most
of the soldiers will have friends who
will take care of them and dine them
TO their hearts content as soon as the
narade disbands. Others, however, may
have no friends to do this and the COM
mittee will therefore see that they are
taken care of at supper and breakfast
Another problem is to give the SOL
diers their breakfast on the morning
of their arrival. The programme con-
templates their arrival in Butte. at $50
on the morning of Monday, Oct. %. At
II o'clock the luncheon will be served
and it will be bounteous enough to suit
any one. But the soldiers should GER
tainly be fed before that time. AT

telegraphed the protecting fleet so
miles away, which being possessed of
this information as to the location of
the supply transport, easily. Outwitted
the opposing fleet of finer cruisers and
safely brought the transport to harbor,
thus proving the practical use of vine
less teleSraphy in naval warfare.
A still more recent demonstration of
the usefulness of wireless telegra ply
was at the meeting at Dover of the
British Society for the Advancement of
Science. On the request of the society
Signor Marcon rugged up an apparatus
right in the hail and telegraphed q
message of cOngratulation to the king
of Italy, who was then attending a
banquet a Como given on the occasion
of the centenary celebration of the
birth of Volta, the Italian scientist,
who practically discovered electricity
according to its modern Interpretation.
The message was sent by the wireless
method from Dover to Bologne, and
thence by wire to Como. Thus We're
the old and the new united, the cul-
tured hand of science reaching back
and clasping the hand of its infant self.
All in Name.
The inventor gave sample of his
dry wit when asked about the kind of
net which is popularity supposed to be

We'll" said he. we don't catch the
wave vibrations in net, and having
caught them, empty them on the floor
and assert them like fish; in fact, the
net now III use consists of two glass
tubes about an inch long with the mar
row passage betW cen them filled with
copper and silver filings, which we
have found are capable of resisting the
passage of an electric current from the
| local battery, but are sensitive to the
WaNe-like oscillations Which come
through the air and DOWN the wire af-
fixed TO the top Of the hisn pole
When asked concerning the future u
wireless teleSraphN in ti1e-iiall Of jour
nalism. Signor MarcOni said: Some
day all messages will be flashed with
, out wires, but that day Is a long way
off. In the meanwhile the invention is
of great use to the newspaper profess
sion in the reporting of such events as
the recent yacht race, where the car
ryins of wires to the scene of the oc-
currence is manifestly impossible"
Signor MarcOni exhibited with great
pride his wireless biography apparat-

direction a number of ethel waves,
which vary according as the key un-
der the hand of the operator is manip-
ulated and are finally received by the
wire on the end of the pole at the other
station and carried to the delicate re-
ceiver in the station, which reveals
their significance to the ear through
the medium of the relay, and which in
turn sets to work the ordinary tele-
graph ticker which writes off the mes
sage.
The Alphabet He Uses.
sThe English Morse alphabet, which
differs materially from the American
system, is used by Marconi in his
work. But if the English alphabet is
used, Marconi stated that some new
American instruments Were to be test
ed in his future experiments, and that
he expected marked results from their
adoption. A new idea was advanced
by Signor Marconi when asked if he
thought his wireless system could be
stated that he believed the balloon was
one of the greatest factors in the flu
ture development of wireless tele-
graphy, burt on account of his position
with the British government he re-
fused to say whether or not it was
intended to use it in the Transvaal
war. SignOr Marconi goes to Wash
ington, where, at the instance of the
United States government. he is to
demonstrate the practicability of his
system, looking to its adoption by the
army and navy. J. Il. G. >

not yet figured out the best way to do
this. They might be fed at Dillon, but
if the train~-iS fp reach Butte at $3.50 it
would have TO pass through Dillon too
early in the morning for breakfast. AT
Melrose there are not accommodations
for lunching so many men nor is there
any other place this side of Dillon large
enough to accommodate the men. 1t is
probable that the special committee APP
pointed to meet the soldiers will con-
clude to take along car of proVender
to refresh the soldiers in the morning
before their arrival in Butte.
1t has not yet been decided just when
this committee will start or where it
will meet the soldiers. Some are in IA
vor of meeting them at Dillon and 9TH
ers of meeting them at the state line
between Montana and Idaho. 1t has
not been decided either whether the
committee will start on Sunday evening
or at an early hour Monday morning.
Many are in favor of going to Dillon
Sunday and remaining there over night,
attaching the special car to the soldiers
train in the morning. The programme
of the day Will be sent to the soldiers
before they leave San Francisco. The
men will then know the outline of what
is before them and if they have any
amendments to offer these can be
known in ample time for change. The
programmes are elegant affairs and a
credit to 7. E. Butler, who got them

Especial pains will be taken to get
the regiment to Butte with full num-
