WOMANS SPHERE.
An Incident OF the Days of Anti.
Slavery Agitation I'm
Connecticut.

During the days of the anti-slavery
agitation the women took a rather
prominent part in the work. Once, aft
er Abbey Kelly, the talented young
Quakeress, had spoken publicly at Tor
ringford, Conn, a local minister de-
nounced her as a ..Jezebel,'' and called
a meeting in the town han to protest
against the outrage on public decency.
The Listener tells what happened as
follows:
"A large crowd attended, the women
filing one side Of the hall, facing their
lords and masters, who were marshaled
on the other side. The minister read
the chapter of st. Paul which applies
to the subject, laying especial stress on
the text: Wives. obey your ISLANDS,
Then he detained long and loudly on
the proper sphere Of women, and de-
nounced all those who departed from
1t to obtain educations which were not
adapted to their modest duties in life,
or to become public teachers or speak
ers. He had just finished his discourse.
having clinched it with final rhetoric
al flourish about woman's sphere, when
suddenly the floor timbers on the wom-
ems side of the house gave way, and
every woman and girl was dropped into
the cellar. And there, from amidst the
tangle Of bruised women and rotten
timbers, an elderly woman S voice was
heard rising: Well! j hope we've
reached our proper sphere now! un-
derstand that Torringf ford is a strong
hold Of advanced views on the subject
OF woman's education to this day. Such
is the irony OF TAFT = s.Ss#

THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Young EngIishman Improves on
the Marconi system

London, July 9.-Progress in the devel-
opment of wireless telegraphy does not
seem to wait solely upon the fertile brain
of Marconi G. H. Smith, young man en-
ployed in the works at Cardiff Point, has
submitted a proposal, with full particulars,
to the Postmaster General. by which he
proposes TO establish telegraphic and tele-
phonic communication between the Chan
mel Islands and the south coast of England.
He has also proposed to the President of
the Board of Trade to introduce his sys-
TEN in any lighthouses and put them into
communication with the shore.
The principal points in which Smith has
been able to improve upon Marconi's sys-
TEN are in perfecting the transmitter and
using a more sensitive receiver. He has
also succeeded in focusing the rays in Or
der to reduce TO a minimum the chance of
their being intercepted. Smith has dis
pensed with the necessity of having a high
vertical wire, which by Marconi's system.
sometimes exceeds in height over a hum
dred feet Absolute secrecy, Mr.. Smith de-
clares, is secured by his improvements, and
a telegraphic communication of from 400 to
500 words a minute is possible.

Iowa City, Iowa, July 9.-onee there

there were forms of reptile life that might

body, furthermore, was covered with
