having as its main object the encouragement oi
home manufacture and the development or the
export trade for American goods INTO those
countries where the American market has not
been adequately represented.
For several years the Philadelphia CONNER
cial Museum has been working on the same
lines by extensive correspondence at home and
abroad and by exhibiting for the beneht OF
American manufacturers the goods which are
manufactured in other countries and the raw
materials from which they produced, to-
eether with the prices which are realized for
these goods These exhibits have given the
American producers an idea as to what goods arc
wanted in the various markets OF the world and
what can be realized for them, and they placed
the manufacturer in position to judge whether
he was capable of competing with foreign manu-
facturers and entering the race for the prize
which is the reward Of commercial superiority

THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have
Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.

Women who have suffered severely
and been relieved of their ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine are
constantly urging publication of their
statements for the benefit of other wo-
men. Here are two such letters:
Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 25s Merrimac
St., Lowell, Mass, writes:

all suffering women of the benefit have

land in England, consisting Of a chalky
cliff about 200 feet In hight projecting
into the North sea- and having two light
houses, with an elevation of S72 feet. Mar
conf whose system of wireless telegraphy
has been in practical operation off the
English coast for several months between
the South Foreland lighthouse and the
East Goodwin lightship, a distance of
twelve miles, had considerable difficulty in
obtaining the consent of the French gov
eminent to his proposal to establish com
munication of this nature between the
English and French coasts. About a
month ago, however M. Lockroy, the
French minister of marine consented to a
test to be made between Dover and Calais
or Folkestone and Cape Girls Nez, the dis
tances in each case being about twenty
miles
The distance from South Foreland light
house to Boulogne-sur-M er is thirty-two
miles, the greatest previous distance COW
cred having been the eighteen miles be-
tween Poole and Bournemouth in Eng
land. An experience of fourteen months
had shown to Marconi that no kind of
weather in England would stop the work
ing of his apparatus. The vertical con-
ductor he uses is the main feature of his
system, and he has found that the dis
lance to which signals may be sent varies
according to the square of the length of
this conductor. For signalling eighteen
miles he used a conductor eighty feet
high, and in his application to NJ. Lockroy
he contended that wzBtlI a. conductor ia
feet high he could establish comrhunica-
ton between points on opposite sides of
the Strait Of Dover, and even ten miles
further.
His experiments have already proved
that when such vertical WIRE or con-
ductor, is employed no hindrance TO sig
mailing is caused by hills or other obsta-
Giles or by the curvature of the earth. One
of his most interesting and valuable ex-
periments was the apparatus fitted up last
autumn between Osborne House, Isle of
Wight, and the royal yacht on which the
Prince of Wales was recuperating after
his accident. This gave an opportunity
to study the effect of intervening hills, and
as the yacht moved about to various posi-
tions, doubts were set at rest as 10 the
possibility of telegraphing across long
stretches of land
Communication between lightships and
shore is a matter of great Importance and
the wireless system between South Fore
land lighthouse and East Goodwin light
ship worked all through the fierce storms
of the latter part of February without in
terruDtion. -.
Marcon is now &c years old He is an
Italian, and it was in Italy that he began
this special work. The italian govern
ment paid to him large sum for his in
venton TO be used on warships From
Italy he went to England, and his sue
cess there has already interested Emperor
William. who has instructed German ex-
perts to experiment with the wireless sys-
tenn for the benefit of the German army
and navy.
He recently. in the course of lecture
on the system, illustrated it's principle by
likenins it to that upon which tuning
fork will respond to vibrations caused by
striking another tuning fork near it.

Chicago, March 25.-Willie Holman IL
only years old, but has become famous
in day Willie was playing with an
other little boy to-day. They each had
a small tin whistle, and the backyard Of
Wnlie's home was ringing with shrill
notes. Suddenly, without any warning.
WiIIie's whistle disappeared and he began
coughing violently.
"Wheres 90 whistler asked Willies
companion.
Willie swallowed hard several times be-
fore he said: II thollowed it." Then, as
he took breath, a weird. mufiied. whis-
Ting sound came from his midst.
At this time Willle'e mother came to
the door to see why the boys were so
quiet. Willie explained laboriously. the Sc

breath he drew.

Mrs. Holman slapped Willie on the
back and at every slap '"root' went the
whistle, defiantly, but refused to come
up. So Willie's father marched him off
to the doctor. Willie, with his concealed

AS Willie and his father walked up the
street to the doctors all the dogs In the

tie. although he could hear It, so he sent
them to the x-ray laboratory in the Schil-
Ter building.
The manager of the laboratory, Mr..
Fuchs made a skiagraph, and the whistle
was found in the food passage between
the first and second ribs. Then the at
tending physician put a small hooked wire
down Wille's throat and caught the toy.
Willie drew a long breath, and from the
imprisoned instrument came what sounded
like Whoa, Enmap'
Then the whistle came out with a last
despairing yell, and the chances for a new

to fight in the Philippines In warm

fighting now does not differ materially
