TWO DOGS VS.. G

Corenlius K. G. Billings. of Chicago is
the millionaire owner of the English
yacht Surf. The Surf was struck by a
railroad f1oa last Tuesday night and
is now undergoing repairs in a South
Brooklyn shipyardd. Just before this &C.
cident Mr.. Billings had been on a cruise
up the sound. While on this trip the
Surf's sailors captured a large bird that
proved to he an American eagle. The
sailors feared that their American skip

captivity and hid the bird in the hold UNI
til they returned to this city.
The bird was placed in the cellar of
Henry Meyers grocery store at Twenty
sixth street and First avenue. John
Meyer, son of the groceryman, was de-
tailed to look after the bird until the Eng
lishmen sailed for home next week. The
boy fastened a chain to one of the birds

AN APE AS SENTRY.
Gave Warning of Boer Attacks at
Mafeking.

London Telegraph: Mafeking's ape,
who displayed so much intelligence dur.
ing the famous siege as to merit q
claim to be the missing link" and so
much antipathy to the nefarious prac-
tees of the Beers as to entitle him to the
benefits of civilization, has been brought
to this country by the officer who train
ed him. and has proved an object of cur
iosity to the camp at Salisbury Plain. Its
principal duty in the b~eleaguered town
was to ring the alarm bell the moment
the Beers commenced firing. and it per-
formed this work in SO indefatigable and
conscientious a manner as to merit the
approval Of all the residents. Having
sounded the tocsin and warned the inha-
bitants. the ape scurried off to it's under
ground bomb-proof hole. thus proving
that it thoroughly realized the danger to
itself as we'll as to others. 1t is reported
that the animal is shortly to be offered
for sale. Surely a comfortable home will
be provided for it after difficult duties
well performed.

THE FASCINATION OF CRIME.

1t is said that burglary exercises such
q fascination that, once the delirium of
ets danger Is tasted, a man can never put
chat fatal wine away. An old and dis
tinguished lawyer once old me that one
of the most brilliant young lawyers he
ever knew said to him. at the conclusion
of a legal duel in which he had resorted
TO the sharpest kind Of practice and
won:
THAT was the most delicious expert
ence of my life"
Yes, and DIT was the most fatal. He
became, and is, an attorney Of uncom j.,
uon resource, ability and success, with
many cases and heavy fees; nevertheless
his life ds a failure, for his profession
and even his clients know him for a
dealer in tricks.
Senator Mcdonald, an ideal lawyer in
Wle ethics, learning and practice of his
profession, told me that one of our JUS
rices once said to him of a certain great
corporation lawyer Of acknowledged
power and almost unrivaled learning:
Mr.. - would be the greatest law.
Yer in the world if he We're not a scoun-
drel. AS it is, I brace myself to resist

CARRIED IN THE POCKET.
Possibilities of the Marvellous New
Wireless Telegraph.

If, in the near future. an electric bell
concealed about the person of a man in
the street is heard to ing. and he draws
from his pocket a small case, listens to
it and then hurries off, it must not hasti-
ly be assumed that he is mad, say the
London Telegraph. The probability will
be that he has just received a message
by wireless biography. In wireless tele-
graphy there are several Richnnonds in
the field. Best known is, Of course, Mar
coni's system. But Sir William Preece
described to the British association a
system which he claims to be both earlier
and similar and which may be used for
telephone as well as telegraphy. At the
Cafe Chantant of the Crystal Palace re-
Gently there was an exhibition Of Mr..
Rosenberg's system. The chief point Of
difference between this and Marconi's
method is in a slight but important al
teration in the construction of the CO.
herer. which arrests, as they travel
through the air, the Hertzian waves on
which all wireless biography depends.
Otherwise the apparatus is much the
same. Mr.. Rosenberg uses an induction
coil, supplied with electricity from an
accunulator: a Morse keyboard is fitted
to enable him to make or break the cur
rem at will. and the message is sent as
usual by means Of an oscillator. 1t is
taken at the required spot by an instru-
ment containing the coherer,; a small
brass tube filled with nickel filings, and a
receiver. from which the message may
he printed on a tape in the usual way.
Mr.. Rosenberg further claims that he has
provided a practical system which >
clear Of Marconi's patents and which can
be made much cheaper. The apparatus
used has no vertical poles, ana he MAIN
tains that he can telegraph two miles;
with poles he can send messages forty
miles. and is engaged on an automatic
repeating device which shall enable them
to be sent on indefinitely. But in course
Of conversation ne mentioned an inter-
esting fact. When he leaves his Office to
lunch in a restaurant, a couple of hun
dred yards off, he takes With him the lit
tie box containing the receiving appara-
tus. This he sets on the table beside
him, and if the bell rings he knows that
he is wanted at the office, even though
his clerks might not be aware where he
was, and he can receive a message from
them. Whether this introduces a new
boon or a new terror to life cannot be
hastily decided. 1t is not too much to sup
pose that before long the receiving APP
paratus might be improved and reduced
in size, SO that a man could easily carry
it in his pocket; and the range of the
message may be increased up to, say.
half a dozen miles. Then the business
man nay carry his receiver about with
him and be in QUO with his office all
day. Again, the system would be very
useful for issuing instructions to en-
ployes and others away from headquar-
tiers.

as a paper-knife, n will enough to need
shooting when they are wanted. The
conference teaches how much better it is
to keep hogs shut up in a pen of rails
and have the children gather acorns on
which to feed them. "A great many set
enents have hog unions" To join one
of these, a man must own at least one
hog, which he keeps shut up and fed, and
then fattens and kills for hume use. One
great trouble with the farmers is that
they will plant only cotton and then buy
bacon n meat at ruinous prices. The
conference argues against this. Ais one
delegate put it: Don't put all you
ground into cotton. Raise your own
vittles. That will help kill off the mort
