struments for that purpose. The instru-
ments used in transmitting the messages
require no more space than sewing ma

be carried in the hand. The storage bat

These waves resemble in length the
waves of sound rather than those of light.
A vertical wire and sphere receive the
impulses and convey them to the coherer.
This instrument is the essential one in the
wireless system. 1t consists of a glass
tube a few inches in length, the ends Of
which are closed with adjustable brass
plugs. The space between these plugs is

Tabor was born in Vermont in 1880
and went to Kansas, where he served
one term in the Legislature. After
fighting grasshoppers and drought for
some years he packed his wife and
some things to eat and some tools to
dig with into prairie schooner and
started to find gold. Sometimes he
kept store in mining camps, selling
-four for $50 per 100 pounds and bacon
for 80 cents n pound. Again he would
test fortune in placer claim, and then
set up forge and sharpen tools for the
miners.

cles reduces the resistance sufficiently to
cause the relay to operate. The normal re-.
sistance OF the coherer in Prof. Green's
trials was 10000 ohms; when affected by
the impulses it was reduced to between
ten and fifty ohms. The power of trans.
mission is increased fourfold by doubling
the height of the vertical wire. The waves

power, charge the vertical wire and pro-
ject into ether a volume of magnetic
waves that flashed unguided through
space with the velocity Of a ray of light
and descended with their message into the
tick of the coherer.
A brief description of the apparatus
used in wireless telegraphy will aid to an
understanding of the principles involved
There is a marked analogy between Mar
coni's system and the system of telegraphy
now in use that was invented by Morse.
Each has an instrument called the trans
mitter, so adjusted as to produce electric
phenomena, and each has an instrument
called the receiver, to reproduce the
sounds. But while the Morse system is
dependent on an electric current to con-
duct the signals, the Marconi system uses
the ether as a conductor, and propagates
the signals by electric waves.
The transmitter consists of an eight
inch induction coil, which is operated by
storage battery of twenty-five volts. From
one of the binding posts of the induction
coil wire runs to a galvanized iron ball
that is suspended from some object that
rises above surrounding buildings. Ground
wires complete the circuit. Electric dis
turDance is produced by forcing sparks
across the space intervening between the
discharging knobs on the induction coil.
These knobs are adjusted and can be ar
ranged so as to produce spark of varying
length, depending on the capacity of the
metal ball and vertical wire which is at
tached to one terminal of the induction
coil.
The rapid-oscillating, h-frequency
sometimes 200,000) between the knobs
on the induction coil affect the ether in
the vicinity of the vertical wire and metal
ball so that electric waves are propagated
in every direction. These electric waves
continue until they reach a ball and wire
similar to those connected with the induc-
ton coil. This ball and wire intercepts
the waves, and conducts them to the re-
ceiver. The receiver consists of an instru-
ment, called the coherer, which is con-
nected with a high-resistance relay, such
as may be seen in any telegraph office.
This relay actuates an ordinary telegraph
sounder.
Prof. Green became interested in the
work after reading Marconis paper read
before the Institute of Electrical Engi-
neers in London. When the successful
experiments were made in transmitting
messages across the English channel he
determined to make an experiment for his
electrical classes.
A number of visiting college presidents
called at the laboratory during the expert
ment and witnessed the first working of
the system. Among them were President
Whitney and Vice-President Conway of
Georgetown University, Washington;
President O'Hara of Mount Saint Mary's
College, Emmetsburg, Nd. President
Lehy of Holy Cross College, Worcester,
Mass; President Fox of Saint Johns Col
lege, Fordham, n. Y, and the president

material Of the apparatus used was taken
entirely from the physical laboratory of
the university. A storage battery that is
common to any electrical workshop, a re-
lay and key from the telegraph room, an
induction coil from the X-ray apparatus
and coherer and choking coil made by
students under Prof Green's instruction
constituted the paraphernalia. These
were all that was needed to generate the

of the Ottawa University, Canada. This
trial was made between two rooms in Sci
ence hall and the instantaneous click Of
the coherer made known the success Of
the experiment.
The receiving station was then moved to
machinery hall, distance of 200 feet. The
doors and windows of both buildings were
closed and here it was seen that walls
were no barrier to these magnetic waves.
Whether the waves penetrate or go around
a building is not known. The next day
the coherer was removed to the various
buildings on the campus with success
equal to the first days trial.
Prof. Green then suspended the verti-
cal wire from the flagstaff on the campus,
a height of 135 feet. The instruments
were more accurately adjusted and a trial
was made at st. Mary's academy, a mile
and a half away. Here again the tappings
came as accurately as when single wall

a 1EFFnRsoNIAN DINNER.

The refusal of Col. Bryan 10 eat $40
dinner with the Democratic Club on the
anniversary of the birthday of Thomas
jefferson. and his acceptance of an invita-
ton to eat 81 dinner with another fac
ton of the Democracy of New York in
honor of the birthday of jefferson, has
very naturally led 10 inquiries as to the
kind OF dinners jefferson preferred. Mr..
Jefferson Levy, a congressman. and the
owner Of Monticello, the home of Jeffer-
son, has been appealed to for information
on the subject.
Mr.. Levy appears to be competent to
instruct the public. He says that although
Jefferson was exceedingly simple in his
manners he liked a good dinner, and kept
a table that was noted for its excellent
viands and fine wines. And his dinners
were not served on common table ware.
but on silver. Almost every day he had
distinguished guests at his table, and he
did not give them hog and hominy and
coffee with long sweetening. He gave
them the very best his large plantation
and the markets afforded. In fact he
was noted for his fine dinners. He had
lived in the best society of Europe, and
he knew what a good dinner was.
Mr.. Levy is Of the opinion that if Jeffer-
son were alive to-day he would prefer the
$40 dinner which Mr. Bryan declined to
the 81 dinner which he has accepted but,
then, Mr.. Levy may be mistaken. His
judgment may be influenced by his own
preference in the matter,
Just at this time IL is of more import
ance to know whether jefferson, If alive.

NO PHILIPPINE POLICY.

The Hon. Joseph w. Bailey Of Texas,
who led the minority IN the Fiftyhfth
Congress, but who will not lead it in the
Fifty-sxth Congress, and who is now
booming himself for a place in the United
States Senate, says that the President has
no Philippine policy, and that the Presi-
dent was strongly opposed to the retention
of the Philippines until he heard some
rumbnngs from the West which he inter-
preted to mean that the people wanted the
Philippines. Mr.. Bailey is not telling his
Texas friends anything new. The Pfesi-
dent announced in his Home Market
speech in Boston that he had no policy
in respect 10 the Philippine Islands, and 1t
is well known that until he visited the
West he had not made up his mind to de-
mand the cession of all of the Philippines.
1t may be that Mr.. Bailey is under the
impression that the people Of Texas do
not read the papers. and therefore he must
teach them ancient history when he visits
them. II would not be surprising If they
could tell him almost as much about his
own doings in Congress as he knows him
se.e
But Notwithstanding the announcement
the President made in his Boston speech
about his not having a policy in respect
to the Philippines, and the fassertion Of
Mr. Bailey that the President is working
in the dark as far as the Philippines are
concerned, it seems that our affairs there
are being conducted in accordance with
some clearly defined plan. A Washington
dispatch contains the Information that our
commissioners now at Manila are instruct
ed to say to the Filipinos that If they will
lay down their arms and recognize the au-
thority of the United, States they SHAH
have self government, or so near il that
they will hardly know the difference be-
tween it and absolute independence. The
commissioners have very great powers,
and if Aguinaldo and those who are act
ing with him want peace. they can have 1t
upon terms which ought TO be more ac-
ceptable 10 them than actual independ-
ence, because il guarantees the islands a
good government and a stable one, and,
that too, practically under the administra-
ton of the Filipinos. While therefore the
President has no Philippine policy and is
waiting for Congress 10 provide policy,
the Filipinos have been informed of the
terms on which they can have peace and
everything is ready for puttinginto opera
ton government for the islands. This
may not be policy for the Philippines but
if the Filpinos should accept the terms
which our commissioners are authorized to
offer them Congress would not have much
to do in the way of providing a Philippine
policy.
