1t may not be generally known that the
delicious figs which we see so plentiful
in the fruit stores and market places are
brought here in large quantities from
Italy, Greece, Smyrna and Algeria
There are large, growing industries here
in California, but the figs have never
been brought to the same perfection as
those we import from the countries
named. The fig blossoms are known in
botany as pistillate and staminate. The
flowers of the former will not form per-
feet fruit without the pollen of the stami-
nate commingling with that of the pistil-
late. For many ages-as long ago as
Herodotus, in asa B. Ca family of in
sects known as blastophoga were used by
fig growers to help perfect the fruit of fig
trees, just as many insects do the same
today in our fields and orchards as have
these little blastophago been doing since
the beginning of time. Aristotle gave an
excellent description of them as long ago
as $40 B. c. 1t now has fallen to the lot
of Prof. Howard, chief entomologist of
the Department of Agriculture, to immor-
talize himself by importing half a million
of these wonderful insects for the fig in
dustry in Fresno, Cal, whittier he has
taken them with the expectation of in
creasing the fig crop enormously.

A few evenings ago young lady was
reading chapter on ventriloquism at
home. Pressing her upper teeth against
the lower, she successfully made hiss
ing sound, similar, as the chapter states,
to the noise made by a saltwater foun-
tain. She forgot that the house dog, a
large and powerful animal, was lying
beside the table on which the lamp was
standing. Aroused by the noise, the
animal jumped up, overthrowiDg the
table and lamp, setting fire to the rug
and draperies around the mantel-piece.
In a few minutes the interior of the room
was in blaze An alarm of fire was
turned in, the engines arriving in time to
deluge the room with water and thereby
save the house. She says she never will
again practice ventriloquism at home, but
follow the advice of a friend and take
to the woods.
ANNIE NEVIN CUNNINGHAM,
Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1899-11-11

A week ago last Monday came the first
announcement that wireless telegraphy
was in successful operation in the United
States Navy. This is the practical work.
ing out of plan started six months ago
by the United States Government. Signor
Guglielmo Marconi. the young Italian
who invented wireless telegraphy and has
successfully installed it in the Italian and
English Navies, was engaged to do the
same thing for the American Navy. Hav-
ing fitted up the two war ships Massa-
chusetts and New York with the necessa-
nv apparatus, he gave a satisfactory proof
of his invention on Monday, October 30.
1t has been found that the higher the
wires can be extended the further a mes
sage can be sent, for the same reason that
the higher a lighthouse is built the
further its beams will extend over the
navies. In other words, the electric
waves which carry messages through the
air without wires travel on nearly straight
lines. For this reason the top nlasts
of the New York and Massachu-
sets we're heightened by an extra
spar, so that their tops we're $50 feet
above the water. This height has been
found to enable ships to exchange mes
sages when forty or fifty miles
apart. The theory of carrying
wires up to mastheads and high
points on shore for wireless telegraphy is
described as follows by the New York
World: The message, which is licked out
on an instrument below is conveyed up
ward by the wire TO the little brass ball
at the top. 1t is then shot off by the
electric vibrations, which, like invisible
sparks, are quivering between that point
and some receiving station with CORE
spending apparatus many miles away.
The energy which is thus transmitted
through miles of space is furnished by
simple battery similar to those seen in
any telegraph Office. This peculiar kind
of electricity, almost as subtle as thought,
is communicated by what is called Hertz
ian rays. Their medium is the intangible
sther, the same medium that brings the
suns rays to the earth
