having a retrospective sort of revival

only a few ideas have struck me,

a recent issue Of The 1noep.nosnt

A recent issue Of The I~ndepsndent
contains q statement made BY Sir WI
liam Henry Preece at a meeting Of the
British Association For the Advance
ment of Science concerning his new
system Of wireless telephony. He in
sists that his method is both simple
and practical and more effective than
the Marconi system Of wireless telegra-
ply. In his earlier experiments Sir
William grounded ordinary insulated
wires at both ends, but since then he
has found that better results are OBJ
tanned by placing the terminal plates
in the sea when 1t is desired to speak
across 81 large body of water. Upon
two occasions recently he has been en-
tirely successful. 1t being desirable to
connect the lighthouse on the rocks
known as the Skerries with the coast
guard station on Anglesey island,
where it is impossible to make cable
communication, n wire $50 yards long
was erected along the Skerries and one
3h miles long on Anglesey, both hav-
ing terminals in the sea. Conversation
is carried on with perfect ease, and the
line is now in practical use. Similar
experiments to connect Rathlin island,
OF the north coast Of Ireland. with the
mainland having been successful, wires
will shortly be erected. The discovercr
has been successful in communicating
over a distance of 10 miles. which will
bring lighthouses. lightships and near
ly all islands in speaking distance of
shore, and he is also certain that by the
same system vessels many miles apart
can speak with each other when in a
parallel position.

The Second Battle.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-This is the "Second
Battle"
That Rryan failed to carry his own
state and his own precinct, and that
Mckinley received an increased home
vote are points worth considering.
If Bryan is still disposed to Labor for
his fellow man, perhaps he could do
good this winter by going south and
lecturing on Government Without the
Consent Of the Governed"
Croker telegraphed Bryan, "We are
defeated but not discouraged" Evil
IDENTIFY Croker found Bryan so plastic
in his hands that he does not want to
part with him.
It will doubtless be some time before
Bryan will again charge the repub-
licans of coercing votes in New York
City.
Now for the next four years we can
watch Imperialism develop, as we
watchad the country's doom develop
the last four.
It seems that Bryan did not make
friends over in the enemy's country.
That Bryan received a smaller vote
in the country and an increased vote
in some of the larger cities indicates
that the farmers and the trusts really
did know who to support after all.
We wonder if Jones is not uneasy
now concerning his cotton bale trust.
It seems that Bryan's speech making
throughout the country did one good
thing; it helped to bring out a large
vote-against him.
We will doubtless hear more of Mark
Hanna's buying power. A great man
to buy, this Hanna. A great people to
sell, these democrats; judging by the
majorities and pluralities.
