QUEER WIRELESS TELEGRAPhY.
Mysterious Ways of Communication
Used by the Southern Indians.


system of wireless telegraphy has been
practieed by South American Indians for
a great many years. Long before the
white man came to this Western Con-
tinent. before the tradition of the Indians
can trace the "malocca" was in use.
Among the Aymyra and Quichua Indians
1t is known, but among the Cataquinaun
Indians, on the Bolivian border, in South
eastern Bolivia, ii is today the prevalent
method of communicating at distance.
The "malocca' is used to communicate at
distances from ten 20 fifteen miles, and
when elevated points can be found, with
no intervening distractions, the distance
can be materially increased.
Like the boomerang, it is quite crude
affair, and yet constructed on scientific
principles The support of the "malocca"
is a special species of palm, followed out
and embedded In sand in hole in the
ground. This palm stem is half filled with
sand, firmly pressed down. The ma
locca'' is the trunk of the special variety
of palm, about three feet long and eigh-
teen inches thick, with large cavity
scooped out at each end.
The caciuue or chief, who does the COM
municating uses a series OF taps, some
thing like the Morse code, and the know1-
edge of this code is part of the require
ments of his Office. The taps upon the
"malocea" at the other station are repro
duced in reply; how this reproduction OF
the sound is effected, Dr. Jose Bach the
Argentine explorer, who reports it, could
not understand, as at a short distance
from the 'malocca" he could hear nothing
either OF the transmission or OF the origl-
nal. which was some ten miles away.
DR.. Bach says that standing right al
| the "malocca," he had no difficulty in
hearing the taps upon the other ma
locca" repeated upon the one before him
He adds that the wood of the palm was
peculiarly resonant, and may in some
measure account for the phenomena, bu
| that this alone would mot account for al
of the phenomena 1t is probably need
less to add that the Indians look upon il
rs of a supernatural charaeter and as par
of the Office of the cacique, or chief.

CECIL RHODES IDEA.
Declined to Drink i'm the Early Days
OF Kimberley.
(From IA New York snn. J


In connection with the foundation of Ce-
ell Rhodes colossal wealth, there is a
story told by an old fellow miner, himself
lately a colonial minister of finance which
illustrates al least one trait in the charac-
ter OF the great South African fnancier
and politician.
During the early days OF the Kimberley
diggings il was the custom when a miner
found particularly fine gem to invite
those about him to the ceremony of wet
payne at the finders expense, with the idea
that it would bring good luck in the dis
covery of another treasure In the ad-
joining claim TO that first taken up by Mr..
Rhodes, in the very centre OF the crater
holding the precious blue dirt, this invi-
tation had upon a certain occasion gone
forth, and the men were going their wa
mp 10 the hotel when IL was noticed tha;
Rhodes stood aloof.
'Hullo, Come on Rhodesr shouted tn
lucky finder Of the gem. Aren't you com
ing up TO wet the stone for good luck ??
TO which, however, Cecil Rhodes only
shook his head.
II say. come on: there's a good fellow. >
persisted his neighbor.
What are you going to do?" asked
Rhodes. looking up.
Wet the stone with champagne. OF
course"
Well" replied the future magnate, de
.isiyely. Il did not come our here 10 drinl
champagne, but TO make money" and tfeg

There is a positive drift in the religious

must certainly be in mental sympathy
with the religion of thought And the
nastor who announces series on the
great poets or religious teachers or the
moral lessons of the novel has felt the
current.
On the other hand is the exalting of
the service with removal of the SER
mon as the chief centre, the emphasis not
of the mental in religion, but of the de-
yotionaI. Do not make the error of think
ing that it is not the thinking man who
seeks this kind of a service. He may
be six davs out of seven, coping with
novel problems But that indestructible

osophy can deny. demands satisfaction

The Army of Song and Drums.

In Kansas City, where the Salvation Army has,
to use its military figures and phTaseology, 4
bas services on some corner every night in the
year Everybody knows the Army and the flag

56robrious and despiteful noises ceased IN most
localities long time ago: 1t was soon discovered

for coed. and to pelt people who want their
feIlow-men TO be saved. And so the persecution

idea of fair play which man in this country

high chiefs by sorcery, and petition was
made to the King to have his head cut off
as a dangerous character; hence the name
Kepoolele (the discovered head). Her sec

sion at Z o'clock this evening. The
whole meeting was calm and dispas-
sionate. 1t lasted four hours.

was evinced to have an end to the per

doctor expressed the hope that press re-
ports on questions raised by the Brit
ish authorities regarding the details of
the high commission would not prove
true, as the German and American au-
thorities seemed so near to a conclusion
of the difficulties that it was greatly to
be hoped that those details of a really
formal nature would not too long defer
full and satisfactory settlement.

A MARRIAGE OF MILLIONS.
The California Heiress Is Now the Wife
of w. X. Vanderbilt, Jr.

or w. n. vanderbilt, Jr.
New York, April 4.-William K. Van
derbilt, jr., took Virginia Fair as his
wife to-day at noon in the white marble
palace of Herman Oelrichs at Fifty
seventh street and Fifth avenue. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father Thomas P. Murphy Of the
Church of the Sacred Heart, Dobbs
Ferry, assisted by two acolytes. There
was no church ceremony, as the bride
and bridegroom are Of different faiths.
She Is Roman Catholic; he an Episco-
palian. A warm sun shone smilingly
throughout, not marred by a cloud-a
good omen.
In magniticence the details Of the we'd
ding equaled the Vanderbilt Marlbor-
ough union: in simplicity it might have
been performed in cottage. In lavish
display OF wealth and extravaganza it
easily rivaled the Could Castellane mar
riage; in quiet and serene joy it might
have been a modest country home we'd
ding. That is, except for the crowd
outside that filled the street and GRAINED
their necks for fieeting glimpse of
the bride, bridegroom or guests The
crowd was patient when men Of affairs

riages. 1t was impatient and eager
when women laden with fortunes in rare
and flashing gems glistened for a mo-
ment in the sunlight, then entered the
canvas lane leading to the house. But
it was wild, impetuous and uncontroll-
able when the bride ran from the house
with her husband in a shower of rice
and followed by the bridal slipper,
thrown by sure hand. Then the
crowd broke the police Gordon and
swarmed around the pair. There was
only scramble, jostling, then the
crowd fell back and made amends by
giving a hearty cheer for the lucky
young Americans.
Almost promptly at noon the single
