From Europe to America.

The success of wireless telegraphy between France and England has awakened much speculation as to the practicability of using the same sys- tenn between Europe and America. Mir. Marconi is modestly noh-eommittal on the subject, but believes that it may ultimately be practicable. Towers from 1000 to 1,500 feet high, with eer- tain lengths of wire netting to catch the current and make the circuit, would be required, and even then he does not assert that success would be achieved. The next test of the sys- tem will be between New Haven Eng land, and Dieppe, France, distance of "A miles.

It is not surprising that the ear should desire to reach some ar engagements with the other nations which would permit him to partially disarm.

EVOLUTION OF WALLPAPER
It Took Time to Introduce Ii and Bring
 It to It's Present Perfection.

It to It's Present Perfection.
 From the Paper Trade: While va rious kinds of printed fabrics were known to the people Of most remote antiquity it was not till the eighteenth century that wallpaper anywhere near it's present form came into common use in Europe, though it appears to have been used much earlier in China. A few rare examples which may be as early as the sixteenth century exist in England, but these are limitations, gen. orally in flock of the old Florentine and Genoese cut velvets, and hence the style of the design in no way shows the date of the wallpaper, the same traditional patterns being reproduced with little or no change for many years. It was not till the end of the last century that the machinery to make paper in long strips was invent ed. Up to that time wallpapers were printed on small square pieces Of hand- made paper and were very expensive. On this account wallpaper was slow in superseding the older mural decora- tions, such as tapestry, stamped leather and paper cloth. A work printed in London in 1744 throws some light on the use of wallpapers of that time: "The method of printing Wall- papers of the better sort is probably the same now that it has ever been. Wooden blocks, with the design cut in relief, one for each color, are applied by hand. after being dipped in an elastic cloth sieve charged with wet tempera pigment, great care being taken to lay each block exactly on the right place, so that the various colors may register, or get together. In or der to suit the productions of the pa per mills these blocks are made in England twenty-one inches wide. and in France eighteen inches wide. The length of the block is limited to what the workman can easily lift with one hand-two feet being about the limit. as the blocks are necessarily thick and in many cases made heavier by being inlaid with copper, especially the thin outlines, which if made of wood, would not stand the wear and tear of printing. In flock and gold or silver printing the design is first printed in strong size, the flock (fneIy cut wool of the required eolor1 or metallic pow der is then sprinkled by hand over the paper: it adheres only to the wet size, and is easily shaken off the ground or unsized part If the pattern is re- quired to stand out in some relief the process is repeated several times and the whole paper then rolled to com press the flock. Cheaper sorts of paper are printed by machinery, the design being cut on the surface of wooden rollers, under which the paper passes. The chief drawback to this process is that all the eo1ors are applied rapidly, one after the other, without allowing each to dry separately as is done in hand printing. A somewhat blurred appearance is usually the result"

HE SAID GOLF WAS sHlNNEY
Justice, Who Doesn't Know Put" from
 "CaIIv Sits on the Game.

Justice, Who Doesn't Know Put from
 Call" Sits on the Game.
 Without regarding the feelings of deyotees of golf, Justice Potts Of Jer- sey City has brought the aristocratic game which cannot be played without cleeks, mashies, lofters, and drivers down to the level of "shinney," a game that only requires a crooked stick, any old thing that will serve as ball, tough shins, and an opponent whom the player does not like. Mrs. Pauline Seharff lives near the links of the Jer- sey City Golf club, and has filed objec- tions to having her children swatted on the head by golf balls driven in an ec- centric manner by beginners at the game. Despite the heat, Mrs. scharff also objects to having the windows of her home suddenly fall to pieces in most disquietfng way. It was to stop these annoyances that Mrs Scharff caused Albert L. Drayton, president of the club, to explain to Justice Potts not only how it happened, but also how he would stop it in the future. The elite of Jersey City crowded the courtroom yesterday, and listened to MT. Drayton explain that the organi- zation, through late recruits, had made some of the most wonderful strokes on record. He added that In a few days new course would be arranged, and the beginners quarantined nine miles from any sign of civilization. Mrs. Scharff was willing to compromise, and even went so far as to express her admira- tion of the game when played in an other state, and everything was set tied. But the game is 'shinney,' just the same,s was the decision given by Justice Potts, and which caused the elite to loft their noses and foozle their glances as they left the putting green bound for the next tee New York Press.
