new milestone planted when pic
~ .ure of the first gun fired at Manila
was telegraphed from New York to
Chicago, ct. Louis, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton simultaneously over single wire by
the Herald.
And then. after this miracle, other pic
lures were flashed back by telegraph from
those cities over the single circuit to New
York.
1t was no experiment, but the practical
commencement of the Herald's new bust
ness enterprise of telegraphing pictures,
drawings, autographs and designs of all
kinds by wire as if but ordinary tele-
graphic messages.
The machines had been tested and found
to be in perfect order when o'clock, the
hour set for the long distance picture tele-

win Sands lightships off the southeast
coast Of England and the South Foreland
lighthouse, several miles away.
These lightships and the South FOreland
lighthouse were fortunately equipped
with the necessary apparatus for the
transmission of messages through the
air over the space of waters between
them when the time Of need came. They.
with WimereuX, near BOulogne, on the
French coast opposite, formed the sys-
tenn of stations which had been estab-
lished by Marconi and his co-workers a
short time before the accident for their
public tests. These tests were still going
on between the two mainland stations,
and at times with the lightship. In the
absence of the scientists they were being
conducted by members of the crew, who
had become more or less proficient in
transmitting and receiving messages
The crew little thought that the curious

new apparatus was soon to be the means
Of saving their lives.
In the fog of April 2S last passing YES
sci struck the lightship and continued on
her way. After a time the crew of the
lghtship discovered that the blow was a
serious one, and that their ship was sink
ing.
What was to be done? Make for the
distant shore as fast as they could, with
the risk of being carried out on the
North Sea on the one hand, or being
dashed TO pieces on whatever part of the
dangerous, rOck-bound and reef-girt
shore they might chance to reach? No

expected to do. From the wire another
medium, invisible and immaterial to the
human sense as 1t may be, takes the mes
sage signals.
With each electric wave from the in
strument below charging the wire there
is set up in the air about 1t series of
undulations akin to those by which sound
and light are propagated through space,
and these, moving away in concentric
waves in every direction from the wire,
carry the signals to the point desired.
There a cunningly devised and skillfully
constructed, delicate instrument will re-
spond to their impulse and make known
their presence to listening ears.
First the manipulation sends out by the
Morse system of signals, South Foreland's
call" WV WV:
ARE YOU THERE, SOUTH FORE
LAND?"
No answer. Repeated again and again,
each time with increasing fearful anx-
iety. Awful suspense. Seconds seem in

HELP. WE HAVE BEEN STRUCK;
ARE SINKING"
South Foreland received the call for help
all right and in a few minutes had dis
patched swift tugboats to the rescue of
the sinking lightship sinking in the sea
and fog ten miles away.
And that's the way wireless telegraphy
demonstrated its success and introduced
itself to the workaday world last week
Why is this more practical test and
what does it prove more than the demon
strations conducted by Marconi himself?
For several weeks past scientists have
been carrying on regular communications
between the stations on either side of the
English Channel some thirty-four miles
apart, at all hours of the day and night,
during sunshine, fog, rain, snow and
hailstorms with entire satisfaction, even
when the wires of land lines refused to
work
Marconi even won the approval of row.

THAT thing? Good enough for expert

I'VE can try it. We have spoken with

Anxious faces group around the table
on which stand the receiver and trans
mitter Of the wonderful new system Of
telegraphing without wires, in which lay
the only hope of safety for the crew.
A hand touches the commutator of the
big Ruhmkorff coil. The primary current
is turned on and at once the long ten
inch spark. leaping between the poles Of
the secondary wire, shows it to be in or

spark oscillator is connected and adjusted
and the signaling begins.

application of the typewriter to the cleo

The production of gold is increasing
1t a rapid rate. From the Transvaal
alone the yield is about $4,000, 600 worth
annually. Australia does nearly as
well, and the United States, which used
to lead, has, in spite Of a largely ex-
tended output, fallen to third place,
with an annual production of $63 000,-
600. The total product for the world
for the current year is estimated at
$340.000,000 while in 1900 it is expected
that the aggregate yield will have risen
to s400, 100000, double what it was three
years ago, and equal to the product in
1896 of silver and gold combined
VIII this thing keep on? 1t seems
likely. New sources of supply are be-
ing steadily opened up, while the pro-
ductiveness of those now being worked
is very far from approaching exhaus-
ton. At the Transvaal alone it Is COM
puted that gold to the value of three
billions is in sight, while at all the
other principal gold producing centers
in Australia, in Colorado, in the Klon-
dike-the indica tons are for more raj
er than less. The discovery of other
fields is also likely. There is known
to be an abundance of gold in Siberia,
where mining of a primitive character
has long been carried on with lucrative
results. The application of modern
methods Is certain to work great in
crease of the product and with the
completion within the next five years of
the TranS-Siberian railroad a hitherto
inaccessible region will be opened up.

New York, June 5.-The professional
traders on the stock exchange made in
dustrious attempts all day to get into the
current of speculation. But, as matter
of fact, there was almost no current 10
speak of, so that the board room traders
found themselves drifting and FOUNDER
ing in stagnant waters. They changed
sides several times in the dull market and
the net changes on the day were conse-
auently unimportant outside of few of
the specialties, though the general aver
age of prices is notably lower.
The opening showed declines under the
influence Of the heayiness in the foreign
market on account Of the disturbed state
OF affairs in France. Sugar and a number
of other specialties were attacked and the
bears also had on their side falling off
in the eastbound freight tonnage from
Chicago. a decrease in Rock Islands net
earnings for April and renewed strength
in the wheat market.
The manifest disposition of bull party
to take up group of iron and steel stocks
on account of the extraordinary prosper
ity in those stocks served to check the
declire.
The large receipts of wheat at interior
points offset the fears of crop damage,
and a series of good returns on current
traffic of various railroads also helped to
strengthen the stocks of those proper
ties, The local stocks showed a DISPOSE
ton to advance and 1t looked like the IN
auguration of a bull movement when the
break in Sugar awakened upeasiness,
There was nothing notable in the trading
thereafter. The extreme break in sugar
was points and the rally on covering
caused some hardening in the general list.
The recovery in Sugar amounted to 3&,
the net loss being 2A.
There was a spread in the American
Smelling stocks, the common weakening

CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.

Chicago, June 5.--The start in wheat
rather favored the bulls. Foreign markets
showed good advances. There was the
usual selling by longs satisfied with their
profits. but the strength of foreign mar
kets was influential enough to create a
good buying demand and for the first half
hour trading was quite active. After that
however, new factors came into the mar
ket of distinctly bearish color and
prices suffered in consequence.
Crop reports throughout the West and
Northwest were in the main decidedly IA
vorable, those from the Northwest pre-
dieting the largest crop in years. Wealth
er conditions were also more favorable.
The severest blows have come from the
visible supply figures. These showed an
increase of 900 bushels. AS a sub
stantiai decrease had been looked for the
announcement brought large quantities of
long wheat into the market. Final prices
were but shade above the lowest of the
day. July opened at 7sAc, compared with
H%s@77Sc, the closing price OH Saturday
1t sold Immediately at 7S1ac, then gradu-
ally declined to 765sc, closing at 76s.c.
Corn was moderately active. The market
was affected by the exceptionally favora-
BILE crop reports and ruled weak almost
from the start, closing at &c decline.
Oats were fairly active and weak. The
market like corn, was influenced by the
favorable crop conditions and the wheat
weakness, the good cash demand not hay
ing enough influence to sustain prices.

Provisions were dull and steady. There
was some selling, influenced by the grain
weakness. Shorts absorbed all offerings
