New York Sun: In view, Of the possl-
bIlity of war between England and the
Transvaal, possibility Which seems to
be growing greater askstch OF the
last campaign of the British troops In
the Boer republic will be u Interest. A
few preliminary details 81 Transvaal
history are necessary foTaitull compre-
henslon of the causes d rthe present
dispute. non
The South African Republic, as the
state of which President Kruger is at
present the head is officially known, was
founded in 1910 by body of Beers from
Natal on lts annexation byqthe British
government, They were pdFt Of those
who had trellked out Of Cape Colony in
1885 to escape from under the British
flag and found free state OF their own
on the eastern slope Of the Drakens-
berg mountains. iu
The independence of NE Transvaal
was recognized by the British govern
ment in 1859. During the quarter of a
century that followed thsH Beers were
engaged in organizing the country and
consolidating their power oyer the ma
tlves. with whom they wsEs frequently
in conflict. In a war with the Zulus In
1877 over question of boundary they
met with a partial defeat, which the
British government took advantage of,
and sent Sir TheophIlus shepstone into
the country with instructions to pro-
claim 1t British territory, In order. as
was stated, to avert a general rising of
the natives. Then followed the Zulu
war, with the British dIS6Stsr of Isan-
dula and the victory of udnhi, brought
on by the British claiming from Cete-
wayo the same boundary ffOr which he
and the Beers had beenlhGhttng.

age was II years and eight months and
she was born in Hamilton, n. Y. She
was member Of the junior class of the
Jackson High school, and was preparing
for Smith college, her aim being to become
an instructor in Greek and Latin in some
institution of learning. She was a superb
or student, and indeed was accredited by
the faculty as being the most brilliant in
the High school. Her last recitation on
Friday was in physics, and so marked was
its rendition, that the professor called the
special attention of the class to it. But
not only as an able student was she so
highly esteemed, for among her school
mates her conscientious, Christian charac-
ter was a strong influence for good.

the pole up which the wire was led was l2O
feet high at first, but later it was found
feasible to reduce the height to 50 feet.
The wire on the royal yacht ran up the
funnel, and attained an elevation Of 50
feet. The East Goodwin lightship sus-
tains the wire at height of so feet, on
mast. The South Foreland pole for com
munication with the lightship is only
about so or 90 feet high, but for the
Boulogne service pole $50 feet high is
employed. The elevation to which the
wire is carried bears definite relation to
the distance to be covered, although the
latter is also dependent upon the "induc-
ton COLI of the telegraphic apparatus. If
this be powerful enough to compel spark
to leap across a gap of twelve or fifteen
inches, it will transmit Hertzian waves for
thirty miles or more.
A curious feature of the system is that
the electric impulse passes directly through
all obstacles, however formidable, such as
rocks, hills, cliffs, wood or water. This
was demonstrated when messages were
sent through four miles Of cliffs between
Dover and South Foreland.
On the day of Marconis departure from
England, Sept. IA, the British association
of science was meeting at Dover, the
French at Boulogne, and the Italian at
Como. The English body flashed a wire
less message across the channel to the
nnlN l.
the King of Italy, who was presiding over
the Italian scientists, congratulating Italy
on having produced another man whose
work in electrical science is destined TO
make his country proud of her son, as she
i, is of the achievements of that other great
Italian, Volta, first in electrical expert
ments.
The work of reporting the yacht races is
only preliminary to the more important
WORK which Marconi will undertake for
the United States government. He will
conduct experiments with the navy and
the signal service, and the lighthouse ser
vice, and it is possible that connection may
be made between Key West and Cuba in a
similar manner to that over the English
channel.
1t is said that the wireless telegraph
system may be best illustrated by means
of tuning forks. Two forks of the same
key will respond alphabetically each to
the other, if either be set in motion. Forks
of dissimilar keys will not affect each 9th
er, even though they be brought almost
into contact. So it is with the MarcOni
instruments. Arranged by the masters
hand, a score may be stationed about and
each will respond to any signal from any
of the others. But by a simple reversal
the apparatus may be individualized and
signals exchanged between two, while
none of the other eighteen respond

clared off Yesterday on account of a lack of
wind. In the run before the wind the Co
lumbia beat the Shamrock nearly six min

have been a beat but which, owing to
shift of the wind, was a broad reach, the
white flyer sailed away from her like
witch. When the race was declared on.
about ten minutes before the expiration OF
the time limit, the Columbia was leading
by about three miles. She was then four
miles from the finish. Had the race ended
the challenger would have been ignoml-
mously beaten by at least 20 minutes.

Death Of Mrs. Marin VI. bacon.

Mrs. Maria NJ. Bacon died suddenly of
heart disease Tuesday evening, Oct. II, at
the residence of her son, H. c. Bacon of
this place. She had been in feeble health
about two weeks but was slowly recovering,
and her friends expected that she would
soon be in her usual health. But on Tues
day evening she was suddenly stricken
down.
She was born in Canaan, y. H., Janu-
airy, 1920. Her parents moved TO Haver-
hill, n. H., when she was child. She
was educated at Haverhill academy and
at New Hampton seminary, from which
institution she graduated. For several
years she taught in the public schools of
Haverhill. In 1S43 she married VIM c..
Bacon, and after living in Haverhill about
three years they moved to Putney, VT.
Her husband died in 1868, but she contin-
ued to live in Putney until 1887, when she
moved to this village which has since been
her home. She was the mother of five
children, two sons, Henry c. and George
Bacon, residents of this place. and three
daughters, Jennie L.. wife of Rev. j o.
Bergh of New Haven, Conn, Ella, wife of
DR.. g. E. Clark of Saltwater, Mimi, and
Miss Emma Bacon, who has lived with, and
cared for her during her last years Be-
sides her children she leaves one brother
Justin H. Blaisdell Of Barre.
Mrs. Bacon had a large circle of friends,
and was among the leaders in all good
works; was always found among the sick
and suffering until the infrmities of age
prevented. She was a member of the Bap-
fist church from her childhood.
The funeral was held ON Thursday at 8
P. NJ, the interment being in Oak Hill
