Another radical difference between this
system and the Marconi is that we con-
me the current to a particular zone, while
ne allows 1t to escape In any direction
ours sends the currents in straight lines
to the receiving station, and they cannot
be DETECTED
Another thing, we use an ordinary tel
ephone receiver to make the sounds in the
receiving station, so that no new appa-
ratus is required and any electrician can
make a receiver for this system as easily
as he can install an electric call box.
Ot course, IL is in the experimental
state as yet, and 1t viii be some time, per-

we use.

entirely practical The signals made by the

The electrical energy travels through
the air very much as do sound waves. AS
IS wen known, sound waves of frequent VI
bration die quicker than those of slower
vibration. A bell of high pitch cannot Do
heard as far as one of lower tone. A cor
net cannot be heard as far as bass norm
Therefore our system Of using slow vibra-
tons is capable of operating over greater
distances than a system using more Ire
quent vibrations.
AT present this system possesses many
advantages over the Marconi system, but a
still better system may be discovered, ahu
we hope 10 make the discovery right nero

Lexington, KY. Nov. 9O.-Prof. c. R.
Sturdevant, of the Kentucky State College
OF this city. when speaking tonight re-
garding the details of the new system OF
wireless teIegraphy being developed by this
college, said:
There is no such thing as wireless te

lead up to the instruments that transmit
the electrical energy. The system we are
trying 10 develop differs from that of Mar
conf in that il does not require a current
of high Potentially.
I'm the Marconi system the ordinary cur
rent has to be transformed into one of
great frequency of vibrations. Ours re-
quires only an ordinary dynamo or cell
battery. We use an ordinary current. and
the vibrations are much slower. than those
used in the Marconi system.
This makes our system suscentibla of
carrying the energy much further, and ac-

shown that signals can be Transmitted fen

Dewey's Portrait Dances.

Many of the manifestations renorted
about the old building are perfectly mean
inSiess and grotesque, and paradoxical as
1t may seem, they derive certain i'm
pressiveness from that very fact. The
theory to trickery presupposes more or less
TO coherent plan, and IL is hard to as
sociate it with things that have no appar-
ent purpose. For example, Mounted Officer
Jules Aucoin went to the Sergeant's room
at about II o'clock last Wednesday night
to make report. Glued to the wall above
the fireplace is barge colored lithograph
of Admiral Dewey, and as Aucoin entered
he was surprised beyond measure To see
the picture seemingly turning round and
round like a wheel. He called to some -nf
the others, but before they could get there
the Autograph was still again. Many kin
dred stories are told. In one corner of the
clerks office is a small ledge on which
several books are kept Lying on them

by grocers. A few nights ago the weights

crashing down on the floor. Several officers

BI6;SENSATION
In Local Undertaking Circles

The acceptance by the city council
last night of the bid of Emerson and
Berrien to bury the city psupers at 4c.
each, has created a big sensation
among local undertakers and was the
sole topic of convers alton among them
this morning.
None OF the others had any idea that
the Ell PasoCoffin and Casket company
would bid SO low and the unsuccessful
bidders were knocked completely off
their feet.
One undertaken said that had he be-
lieved the bidding would be so low he
would have offered to give the city
five cents for each pauper buried.
Many people are puzzled to know
why the undertakers are, so anxious to
bury the paupers, but it is explained
thai the cor tract with the city creates
sort of monopoly, as it we're, and oc-
casionally supposed pauper has
friends who see to it that he is given
an expensive funeral, and that's where
the undertaken comes in.
The excessive low rate for burying
paupers is no novelty, as it is said that
a firm in Kansas City buries them for
ten cents each and last year the paup-
ers who died in Denver cost the city
only l cent each for burial. One firm in
that city toffered cent each for the
burying them, but this bid
WAS rejected.
