THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.

They say the wireless telegraph,
The wise folk in their grating jargon
Is half of Hertzian waves and half,
think, Of Roentgen rays or argon;
They talk to US of molecules,
OF currents, coils, and oscillation,
And we might understand (poor fools
Could they explain their explanation.
The wireless telegraph they VOW
The rarest use of natures forces;
Their gods are all Marconis now,
And all their demigods are Morses.
And still it's praises day by day
The press Chat is, the wise folk)
utters,
And in its figurative way,
ut takes the cake" the public NUT
ters.
Yet we are not surprised, my own,
It cannot rouse us twain to wonder,
To long have we been glad and prone
To use it when we are asunder.
If table, ballroom, stairs, or street
Divide US, by the swans of Venus,
Fair wireless messages, my sweet,
Fast as Marconi's fly between us.
Oh, love, our wireless telegraph
(And what for lovers use is fitter?)
Needs no machinery, no staff,
No batteries, bobbins, or transmitter
When signals flash, love, from our eyes,
Swift, eloquent, yet unsupported
There should the wise folk recognize
The wireless telegraph perfected,

tanned merely a pen-and-ink portrait

The letter was promptly delivered by
the hotel clerk end reporter to whom
the wag confded his joke followed to
learn the effect.
"A-a-a-hi" unused the actor, "this de-
serves an answer
Thereupon he seated himself at his
desk and indited an ironical letter OF
thanks and inclosed it in an envelope.
you don't know the address?''
1T does not matter returned Sir
Henry. II think this will reach him
