Lnterf Coli Machine.

Golf enthusiasts Will be glad to learn
of the invention of 4 new machine
which will enable them TO keep their
skill in driving up to the top notch
during the winter. says the Chicago
Tribune. The new device consists OF a
ball at the end Of an arm, attached to
an upright. When the ball, which,
when in its normal position, rests two
inches above the surface of the floor, is
struck, IL flies around az the end OF the
arm and registers the number of hun
dreds of yards il would have gone if il
bad been driven from a tee" on the
links. In this way one may even i'm
prove in driving during the winter
months and go out next spring ready
TO surprise the experts.

KANSAS SOLDIERS PIE.
Biggest Ever Baked Greeted a Young
Kansas Warrior.

Probably the biggest pie ever baked
was tie big feature at a reception to
Artie Phillips, & member of the TWEEN
tieth Kansas, on his return home to
Mulvane. Kan. This soldier boy. in
one Of his letters from Manila. said he
would give four years of his life for
one OF those apple pies such as his
mother used to make, says the St
Louis Post-Dispa tch.
At the reception rendered him by the
people of Aulvane he was presented
with a pie. square in form, measuring
five feet one way by two feet the other.
In the pie were ola bushels OF apples,
ten pounds OF -four, ten pounds of
sugar, six pounds of lard, two pounds
of butter and 4 commensurate amount
of other truck which goes in this kind
Of pastry The pie was cut and serv-
ed. and ''it didn't last longer than q

Teala,n Colorado Den.

While Marconi, the italian, is tele-
graphing to Calico without wires.
Nikola Tesla is working away at his
puncheon den at the foot of the Rocky
mountains. surrounded by miles OF
wire coils which catch messages fash
ed into the air from the lofty top of
Pixies peak The Pittsburg Dispatch
had a few days ago a highly interest
ing account of a visit that Mr.. Robert
c. Hall paid Tesla, who told him, BE
fore another year wireless telegraphy
will be in actual use between New
York and Paris" The Montenegrin is
located 1000 feet above sea level
while Immediately back of him the
mountains rise to a height of 1900
feet. He went to Colorado Springs to
get room and clear atmosphere.
Tesla's previous inventions must afford
him sufficient income for his present
work, as he has refused large offerings
from his admirers. Mrs. Phoebe Hearst
is said to have placed a large part of
her fortune at his disposal, but it was
declined with thanks.

TO ADOPT NEW TELEGRAPHY
Plan For Uniting Our Island Colo
nies by Wireless System.


1t is probable that before the begin
ming of the new year the Marconi sys-
TEN of wireless telegraphy will be in
stalled by the signal corps of the army
in connection with our island colonies,
says n Washington dispatch to the
Philadelphia Press. Captain SQuier of
the signal corps is convinced of the
practicability OF the system.
In Il few days" said Captain Squier,
'Marconi will come to Washington.
During his visit we expect to make
some valuable experiments TO test his
system over long distances. Marconi is
confident he can send messages fully
100 miles. We are preparing to in
stall the system in connection with
our colonial telegraph. The longest
stretch will be between Key West and
Cuba, but 1 have no doubt of the new
systems ability to cover that.
The intention is then to connect
the eastern end OF Cuba with Haiti and
the eastern end of Santo Domingo with
Porto Rico. We will also connect the
two important islands of the Hawaiian
group and such islands of the Philip
pine archipelago as may be necessary.
1 believe wireless telegraphy will be OF
inestimable advantage to this govern
ment in covering the short distances
that separate these islands" -r.

Beers STILL GOOD SHOTS.
Timely Information About the Afri-
Handlers and Their Country.

Handlers and Their Country.
w. ii. Forbes Townsend of Liver
| pool, who is travelling with Mr.. Keith,
from his own accounts seems to be the
English globe trotter of whom so much
has been written, for, judging from his
talk. he has been in all countries. He
spoke most interestingly of the Trans
vaal recently to q New York Tribune re-
porter, saying: Il spent eight months
there Just prior to Jameson's famous
raid and became thoroughly familiar
with the country and its inhabitants,
although / cannot say l ever became
intimate with any of them, as the
Beers are absolutely the most Uncom-
munfcative people l have ever seen. I
spent n large part of my time there in
Johannesburg, which is a typical min
ing town, although it has been largely
built up and has some very handsome
buildings.
The Beers themselves are very dull
mentally, nonprogressive and phleg-
matte. This last, however. tells in
their favor. as they do not become in
the least excited when under fire. 1t is
mistake to think that they have lost
their ability rs shots, for they prac-
mountaineering
the most expert shots l have ever seen.
1 myself constantly saw the small
Boer boys practicing shooting on the
veldt, and some of them couldn't have
been over G years old.
''I also trekked pronounced treeh-
ked up to the Limpopo river. which is
the boundary line between the Trans
vaal and Matabeleland, for the shoot
ing, which is the finest for both bird
and beast 1 have ever had. 1 got a
pretty good idea of the lay of the
country, and it has the most perfect
natural defenses in the world. On the
Natal border the few passes there are
so narrow and of such character that
40 men can with ease hold themselves
against 1000. and the same is true of
all their other frontiers. Then the
country, from its nature. affords natu-
raj second lines of defense, for it is
made up Of successive ranges of noun
tains. with level plains, or veldts, be-
tween, and all the mountains can only
be crossed by passes of so difficult a
nature as to render it possible for
few men TO stand off a large number.
1T is also a mistake to think that
the Beers are unable to handle artil-
leTy. 1OuLS DUETS are sent dDFOdu LOT
their education, and large numbers Of
them have studied in the military
schools of France, Germany and even
England itself. AS in the past, in each
company of Boer soldiery a number of
sharpshooters are told off whose sole
duty it will be TO pick off the officers
of the enemy. These companies num-
Der about 100 men each. When we
were in San Francisco. we met n num-
Der of prominent mining men there
who have been in the Transvaal and
were thoroughly acquainted with the
country and the Beers and their char
acteristics, and while we all knew that
in the end Great Britain would I'M
doubtedly conquer. we all agreed that
it would nevertheless take her a long
time to do it and that the nut she has
set herself to crack is likely to prove
far more difficult than most people at
present realize

able to outfoot the Columbia sufficiently
to tack across her bow, a little later gave
her a good rap full. The green boat re-
sponded nobly, and to some it appeared
that she was passing the Columbia very
fast. So she was, but she was losing out
ward ground every minute When the
Shamrock tackled to port at 11:15 and the
Columbia thirty seconds later 1t was seen
that Barr had so placed his boat on the
weather bow of the Shamrock as to spill
the back wind into the Shamrock's s sails:
about thirty seconds to get out from
under the Columbia's lee. BY l:20 the
Bristol boat was quite an eighth of
mile to windward ana n th 3utt9otng t}on ana out
Captain Hogarth. finding that the
Shamrock would not point as high as the
Columbia, fattened down his sheets as
hard as he dared and had to be contented
her go at that. The Shamrock went about
to starboard at u:33:30 and the Columbia
five seconds later. At 11:45:30, when the
Shamrock again tackled to port, the Colum-
bia was fully a quarter of a mile to wind
ward of her. The latter tackled five sec
onds later Captain Hogarth was getting
short tacking tactics, in the hope that
his boat would forereach sufficiently TO
make material gain to windward. At
the conclusion of the struggle Hogarth
ever, the Columbia having been, If any
thing quicker in stays and better fore
reacher. AT Z.0U.l0, WUeU lIle oudulIOCh
settled down again to business on the
port tack and the Columbia, after stand
Ing on two minutes longer. came about to
the same tack, 1t was found that the
Bristol boat was half mile dead to
windward of her rival. In three more
tacks the Columbia still increased, her
windward lead. The Shamrock people at
1925 took in her baby jib topsail, hoping
that she might point better, but 1t was in
vain, for in ten minutes they set the sail
again. 1t was taken in twenty minutes
later for a few minutes. Each yacht
made twelve tacks in the windward work
and in all these the Shamrock took the
initiative. Captain Barr waited for Ho-
garth to tack, and with but one or two
within thirty seconds of the other boat.
The last half-dozen tacks made were
longer than the others. The outer mark,
which had been obscured by fog, was Wis
ible TO the yachts soon after 1:30. The
wind became lighter as they approached
it, but it increased a little in force as the
Columbia made her last tack. She looked
very handsome as she approached the
mark on the port before she had fairly
made the turn and as she squared away
on her homeward course the great sail
was broken out from stops The same
moment the main boom swung far off to
starboard. They were exactly eighty-five
rocks men beat them only five seconds in
this work.
The official time at the turn was: CO.
lumbia, 1:4S19; Shamrock, 1:5S:0s
This shows that the Columbia was 9:49
