New Use for Seaweed.

From the Philadelphia Record.
a new use has been discovered for sea-
weed. vast quantities of which drift up and
down the coast. Hitherto it has gone to
waste, simply because il has been regarded
having value. But 1t has been found
to make Il good fertilizer Several factories
along the coast where oil is made from
mcnhaden will now manufacture fertilizer
by mixing seaweed with the refuse of fish
left from the oil making. New England
has already tried it. 1t is estimated that
the value of seaweed used in Rhode Island
alone during the present year is $65, 900.
Its use is necessarily confined to within
short distance of the coast. Some farms in
New England are fortified entirely by the
use of seaweed. 1t IS quite likely that men
haden fishing steamers will be used in
gathering the oceans crop, and that the

4 Drawback to Wireless Telegraphy.

From the Literary Digest
From the outset it has been pointed out
that wireless telegraphy, successful as it
has been has the disadvantages of lack
of privacy. Just as speaker is heard by
all within the sound of his voice so the
wireless transmitter sends its waves to
every appropriate receiver within the
sphere Of its influence. Much work has
been done toward the remedying of this
trouble, but apparently without practical
success. A device invented by Marconi to
isolate pairs of stations from other sta
lions surrounding them has been repre-
scented as nearly perfected, but, the Flee
trician LondOn) notes, it has not vet been
used in practice. During the recent expert
ments in England the best that could be
call to the desired station, all the others
receiving it. but taking no notice The
Electrician goes on tosay:
although we know of no really satisfac-
tory apparatus that would enable two sta
lions in a scattered group Of say twenty
or more stations to signal exclusively, there
are several Well-understoOd principles that
With skiIlful development might be applied
to that end. The simplest method would
seem to be that in which the ether waves
would be cut off by metallic screens from
every other direction than that straight to
the desired goal. Another conceivable but
yet impracticable. plan would be 10
focus the rays by means of ref1ectors or
refracting pitch lenses, after the manner of
a searchlight. 1t is by no means certain
however, that Mareoni waves once started
on well-defined straight course would
the Intervening objects of large dimensions
such as hill or large block of buildings
would probably exert an appreciable de-
Waiting influence.

Removal of Bridge Over CanaI-other
Local News.

| The small bridge across the Chesapeake
| and Ohio canal on 34th street, just below
! NJ street was this morning destroyed by
| the officials of the canal company. This
| step was made necessary by the rotten
condition of the structure, which, while it
remained in place. was danger and men
ace to life. The bridge was used by resi-
| dents of the neiehborhood. affording the
first outlet east of the Aqueduct bridge
from h to NJ street.
Several weeks ago the police reported that
the bridge was in d dangerous condition
The report was sent to the District build
ing and an investigation revealed the fact
that the complaint was well founded. The
officials of the canal company were noti-
he'd to remove the structure and erect a
new one in its place. This work was begun
today. Since the report of the police was
sent in the bridge settled much lower and
became more unsafe The canal company
not only owns the structure, but also the
land for a distance Of about ten feet on
either side, and by the terms of it's charter
it is said, is obliged to keep all the bridges
