Wireless telegraphy is likely to be
the subject of litigation. Professor
Amos E. Dolbear of Tufts college de-
clares that he is the discoverer of wire
less telegraphy and he proposes tax
ing steps to prevent Marconi from in
ringing on his rights. Professor Dol
bear is prepared to show that he holds
and controls the United States patent
on the whole art of wireless telegraphy
and wireless telephony. His patent
was granted in 1886. According to-
Professor DoIbear's statement he was
sending messages for a distance of a
mile and a half without the use of a
wire when Marconi was only years
old.

The battleship Kearsarge on her off,
cial speed trial over the Cape Ann
course Sept. 25 averaged 1854 knots
an hour. On the outward run OF thirty
three knots she averaged 1882 knots,
with smooth sea and wind abeam. On
the return she averaged 1897 knots
against head wind. The contract re-
Quirement was sixteen knots. 1t is to.
the credit of the Kearsarge that her
relative speed, with 500 less horse
power, and $50 tons greater displace-
ment, was approximately equal TO that
of the Iowa, although the latter on her

A Large Number of Buildings Erected
This Year.
INDICATING AN IMPROVED CONDITION
What is Being Done in Various
Parts of the District.
NJ ATTE RS OF INT Z r f IS I

One of the effects of the recent financial
depression which this city experienced, in
common with the rest of the country, is
shown in the diminished volume of build
ing operations. A table which is appended,
and which was prepared by the direction
of Captain Lansing II. Beach, the Engi-
neer Commissioner, presents in graphic
shape the beginning, progress and, it is be-
lieved, the ending of this period of business
depression. 1t is quite evident, at least,
that a turning point has been reached, and
that the downward course has not only
been checked, but a decided move in the
upper direction has been begun. 1t is likely
that the local building record for the past
ten months would have shown a much
greater difference had it not been that the
increased cost of building materials has
served to temporarily check this tendency.
1t is, however, thought to be only tenn
pOrary, and that the increasing demand for
houses will turn the attention of those who
have money to this form of investment.
In spite of the fact that the apartment
house accommodations in this city have
increased remarkably during the past year
or so, 1t is the opinion of a good many who
familiar with the needs of the market
that there is a demand for houses which
will rent from SO to $50 per month, and
that while flats suit some people, they do
not suit all, and, therefore, separate houses
will always be needed. 1t is considered as
likely that a good many people who live in
flats would board if such facilities were
not available rather than occupy separate
houses, and if this is the case then the
market for houses has not been invaded to
the extent that some are inclined to be-
lieve.
Following is the statement, showing esti-
mated expenditures, etc, in building opera
lions for the fiscal years 1892 to 1899, inclu-
sive; also the number of buildings and the
estimated cost of same for the ten months
of 1890:

W. j. Palmer, architect is remodeling

erected In the latter part of the last century
or in the early portion of the present one
There were many quaint ideas and pecu lar
methods of construction about the house,
and while in process of demolition a num-
Der of old coins of small denomination were
found, also several silver-plated buttons
of continental style.
The improvements contemplate a three
story addition on the rear of the main
building and a general renovation of the
property, including modern system of
heating.
