MAROON! GOING HOME.
No Special Test of His system by the
Army Signal Corps.


Army Signal Corps.
WASHINGTON, Nov Z. - General
Greedy, chief signal officer, says there
will be no special demonstration of the
Marconi system of wireless telegraphy
in connection with the signal service of
the army. It is understood that the in
struments brought by Marconi to this
country are unsuited to greater distances
than 10 miles by land and 80 miles by
water. The signal corps, which oper-
ates system of its own at distance
of ~ miles, was unwilling to have dem
onstrations made unless their could be
assurances of great er distances than
those promised. This concluded the
negoti ations which have been in prog
ress for some time.
It is understood Marconi will sail at
once for England in connection with
the use of the wireless telegraphy in
South Africa.

The Arab Horse,

An Arab cannot dispense with food
altogether, like the legendary camel Of
travellers tales, but his needs are few,
and he will maintain his health aud
spirits under conditions which other
horses would never be able to endure.
Indeed, not only can he put up with
hardships at pinch, but he actually
deteriorates under the generous regts

other horses TtlS has been proved

have refused to believe the usual three

A Family Fault.

DR.. William F.. Clarke of River For

Grace Greenwood, the writer, and had
as ready wit as his celebrated sister.
The doctor had great heartand a host
of friends. The only man whom he
cordially detested in the whole world
was a certain President of the United
States, whom DR.. Clarke thought was
recreant to his party trust. One day
he was freeing his mind OF its opinions
about the particular federal executive
to a friend who was calling. He wound
up some pretty condemnatory SEN
fences with, well, there now, what
have you got to say to that?"
