wash of the Atlantic, her deck just
above the water and without masts or
other warning to approaching vessels
Five other derelicts have been re-
ported as seen this year, and the dan
ger from possible collision in night
or fog weighs heavily on the shippers
mind. With more Americans than
English concerned in the safety of the
getaways, it would be more fitting
that the United States government
should take the il tiative in an expedi-
ton for their destruction. With all
the varying moods of the sea and all
the dangers to the landsman so appar-
emily great, the passengers on an ocean
liner can always feel assured that his
chances of safety are greater than if he
was travelling like distance upon
land. 1t is the unknown that inspires
fear, and the sea never admits even
familiars to compete confidence. To
those who are most familiar the
moods and lenses of the wind and
water are disconcertingly capricious.

NOVEMBER WORK.

November should have no idle DAYS
As opportunity offers, it will be well to
hurry the husking, in order to have it
over in case long wet spell should ap-
pear. In this, as in most farm work. il
is better to keep on the safe side of
chances. After the corn is husked and
stored in dry cribs, take time to look
after the stalks. If stacked properly
and conveniently much work will be
saved, as well as much value in fodder
At odd times give the farm a general
cleaning up, and burn litter or use if
for mulching shrubbery and fruit that
need protection. Prick out the cab
bage and caulihower plants in cold
frames, made by inclosing shallow pits
with frames covered with window sash.
A very slight protection is sufficient
for cabbage plants are not affected by
frost or even by ordinary freezing.
Now that the leaves have fallen, we
can see how to shape the trees and
vines, and they can be trimmed now as
well as at any time. 1t is one of the
things that can be put off, and for this
reason is rarely done properly or at
the right time. Cut back the rasp-
berry and blackberry vines to new
wood, and even trim them severely:
prune the grapes to three or four
buds, and insert the cuttings of both
grapes and currants into moist soil for
new stock. They root easily and are
always convenient for new paintings or
to replenish old stock that dies from
age or other causes. After the ground
is well frozen mulch such trees and
shrubs as need protection. Finely
composted manure is best for this mr.
pose. In the spring this should ba
spaded into the ground. Cover the
plants with clean straw or
marsh hay, which can be raked he
tween the rows in April and used as a
mulch. Choice grape vines
and any doubtfully hardy plants can
be laid down to the ground. or in
trenches, and covered with litter or
slight coating of earth. Clean out and
whitewash the poultry house. and pro-
vide it with oyster shells and gravel
and dust bath at one end. Cover the
main floor with leaves, and every dav
scatter some wheat and corn among
them. This will keep the hens busy
and the exercise will not
only keep them warm, but will make
them lay.-F. H. Sweet in Agricultural
Epitomist.

MARCONI ONLY % YEARS OLD.
Brief But Brilliant Career of the
Italian Inventor.

A few details as to the career of the
young Italian who has achieved so
much fame by his invention of a sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy will be read
with interest.
Guglielmo Marconi was born at
Griffore, near Bologna, Italy, April 25
1874, so he is now but 25 years of age.
From a boy he was keenly interested
in electricity and during the period
that he was receiving education at a
school at Leghorn and at the Univer-
sity of Bologna he showed great apti-
tude for scientific work.
1t was in 1895 that he first interested
himself in the subject of wireless
biography, and during this year sue
ceeded in telegraphing without con-
Meeting wires up to a distance of about
two miles between two stations on his
fathers estate near Bologna
In July, 1896, he left for England and
at the outset met with an unfortunate
occurrence. His instruments were
mistaken by the Custom House author
tiles for bombs and Internal machines;
they accordingly broke them up. 1t
was bad beginning, and had Mr..
Marconi been superstitious he might
have taken it as bad omen for the
future. However, he had another set
OF instruments prepared after time
and trouble, and made his first expert
ments in London at Westbourne Park.
Mr. Marconi was introduced to Mr..
Preece, then chief engineer to the Lon
don G. P. o., and at his request made
some experiments between st. Mar
tins lie Grand and the Thames en-
bankment. These proved highly salts
factory. Mr.. Marconi was asked to
make further trials on Salisbury
Plain. In May, 1897, the apparatus was
tried in the Bristol channel, and sig
nails were easily transmitted through
space between Lavernock Point and the
Flat Holm, and afterward between
Lavernock Point and Brean Down, a
distance of nine miles.
Subsequently Mr.. Marconi went to
Rome at the invitation of the italian
Government, and gave series of exhi-
billions of his system at the Quirinal
before the King and Queen of Italy and
high Italian officials. 1t was deter
mined to put the method into practical
use at Spezzia. A station was erected
on land at the arsenal, and two Italian
battle ships were kept in constant
telegraphic communication with land
up to II miles from the place where
the apparatus was fixed.
Mr.. Marconi says his system has
been in use in the Italian navy for two
years. A number :, of installations
have been erected and are working
along the coast, two of these being at
Spezzia.
The Italian government, anxious to
show that the saying "A prophet is not
without honor save in his own coun-
try" does not apply in this case, has
conferred upon Mr.. Marconi the honor
of knighthood.

ear and great flexibility of the vocal
organs. Even the most faithful effort
fails to enable many foreigners to
speak Chinese correctly.
Chester Holeomb, for many years in
terpreter to the United States legation
at Picking, from whose interesting
book, The Real Chinaman,' we have
copied relates several anecdotes illus
trative of a foreigners almost newt
able blunders in speaking Chinese.
Mr.. Holcomb once heard a venerable
missionary address the diety in prayer,
before a crowded Chinese audience, as
"Oh, Thou; pmniverous God" He meant
to say "onniscient," but used an as
pirated instead of an unaspirated Oh.
Another Missionary saw with aston
ishment the audience hurriedly leave
his chapel, in response to what he
thought was an invitation from his
lips to be seated. An aspirated ST. had
turned the supposed speech of welcome
into the information that they had
made mistake in entering the chapel.
In Chinese the tone in which word
is spoken determines its meaning as
much as the sound does. For instance:
In Chinese a man ceases to be man II
you change the tone of the voice in ut
tering the word, and may become a
disease, a nightingale, or a carrot
One tone, and on5 only expresses man.
There are four of these tones in stand
ard or mandarin dialect-a high
curving infection and a falling inflec-
ton.
The sound "man," if uttered in the
first tone, means brazen-faced; in the
second, to hide; in the third full and
in the fourth slow. These four tones
are the occasions of absurd blunders
A missionary once informed his
audience that the Savior, when on
earth, went about eating cake He in
tended to say healing the SICK" but
an aspirate wrongly placed changed
the healing into eating, while an error
in tone made cake out of the sick.
On one occasion, when Mr.. Holcomb
was the host of a large dinner party,
he ordered his Chinese butler to sup
ply some small article that was not on
the table. The man seemed puzzled
then went out and returned with the
kitchen upon a tray. The host had
placed an aspirate wher it did not be-
long.
At another time the cook was told
to buy hundred ladies fingers" for
an evening party. Two hours later he
entered the courtyard of the American
legation riding upon the shaft of a
Chinese cart, and reported that he had
been able to buy in Picking only six
teen ladies fingers" why did you
hire a cart?" he was asked. "To bring
them home-they weigh five or six
pounds each"
Instead of tiny strips of SPONGE cake
to be served with ice cream he had
bought sixtyfour fresh OK tongues. A
wrong tone of his masters voice had
done the mischief-Youth's Com
panion.

OLDEST OF LIVING TONGUES.
Some of the Difficulties of Learning to
Speak Good Chinese.

The oldest spoken language now in
existence upon the earth is the Chinese.
1t has an enormous list of words-the
estimate of the number of characters
ranges from $4,000 to 100000. The
language has no alphabet. Each char
aeter represents a complete idea, and
corresponds, practically, to the Eng
lish word. 1t is written in columns
from top to bottom of the page and
from right to left. A Chinese book
ends where an English book begins.
Writing is done with a fine camels-
hair brush and in india ink
The lack of an alphabet and the
number of characters make learning
to read Chinese burdensome. Each
character must be learned by itself.
When the student has mastered 5000
characters the succeeding thousands
must be learned in the same way.
Those which he has mastered furnish
no assistance to learning the others.
save rs practice may have given him a
certain quickness in perceiving the
peculiar form which distinguishes each
character from it's fellows.
The grammar of the language is so
simple as to be almost nonexistent
The same word serves indifferently as
noun. verb. adverb or adjective
Moods, lenses, persons. gender
and number are lacking; there
are neither conjugations nor
declensions, nor auxiliary verbs.
The few Chinese who have
attempted TO master the English
tongue regard its grammatical con-
struction as clumsy and full of pitfalls
The Chinese characters give no clue
to the pronunciation. and no amount
of book study will enable a foreigner to
speak the language. That ability must
be acquired by months of drill. a quick

A WRINKLE IN RIDING HABITS.

Many women in this country who
are given to horseback riding are
adopting the English practice of hav-
ing their habits made with the selv-
edge of the cloth as a skirt finish. II
was found that in case of an accident
the skirt would tear easily to the hem
with its rows Of stitching. but that
more than once proved strong enough
to hold the unseated rider in a peril
Gus position New habits are made
perfectly plain. and those who own
skirts finished with stitching are bav-
ing the latter taken out.

CHAPTER VI.

The anger of Lord Carlswood, when

was something terrible to witness.

novelty. ignoring the terrible conse-
uuencss that might sollow-telling him
