A patent has been granted to Carl
Zickler of Brunn. Austria, says the
Telegraph Age, on a system OF teleg-
raphy by means Of electric light. In
this method Of wireless telegraphy sig
mails are transmitted by mea Of rays
emitted from an arc lamp, the rays OF
short wave length mostly ultraviolet
rays) being the ones made use OF.
These rays are sem out from the
sending station at intervals corre-
spending to those Of telegraphic sig
mails and In the direction Of the re-
ceiving station, where they produce
weak electric waves, by which the
signals are made visible as sparks. or
are made audible by telephone or cleo
trio bell, or. II preferred, may be print
ed by Morse apparatus. The most Sc
rious objection. however, to the new
system is the lack Of speed, for so far
II has been impracticable to arrange
transmitters and receivers to accom-
plish more than s to IL words a

New wealth In Michigan

AT the latest annual meeting OF the
Geological Society Of America, Prof. l..
G. Russell called attention to the re-
cent discovery that many of the
swamps and lakes in the southern
peninsula Of Michigan are rich in cal
careous mari. suitable for making
Portland cement. Although partly
composed Of shells, the Michigan mari
is principally a chemical precipitate
which is still being formed. The pre-
else method Of It's formation Is not yet
understood. The supply is practically
~inexhaustible. Large cement works
have lately been constructed. others
are In contemplation, and Prof. Rus
sell says that Michigan can easily take
a leading place in that industry.

Our Cooking SCHOOL.

Anchovy canapes-Spread thin pieces
of toast an inch and a half wide and
three long with anchovy paste, sprin-
kle with finely chopped hard boiled
egg. Allow two pieces for each per-
son. and serve with a quarter OF Q
lemon.
Calves brains a la poulette-Soak
the brains for an hour In cold water;
then simmer in water containing a
tablespoonful Of vinegar for twenty
minutes; place again In cold water to
blanch; remove the fbers. Cut the
brains in small pieces and pour over
them a poulette sauce which Is made
of a pint Of white sauce made with
white stock. Beat four yolks with a
cupful of cream. Remove the sauce
from the fire and add 1t slowly to the
eggs and cream, stirring all the time.
Put it again on the fire a moment to
thicken, but do not let 1t boil. Add
one tablespoonful Of butter slowly, a
small piece at a time, the Juice Of half
a lemon, a dash Of cayenne. Fill in
dividual paper cases with the mixture
and place on the top n large broiled
mushroom.
Asparagus soup-Two bundles OF
green asparagus, n quart OF white
stock, one pint OF cream, three table,
spoonfuls Of butter, three of -four, n
onion, salt and pepper. Cut the tops
from one bunch OF the asparagus and
cook twenty minutes in sailed water
to cover. The remainder OF the as
paragus cook twenty minutes In the
quart of stock. Cut the onion into
thin slices and fry in the butter ten
minutes, being careful not to burn;
then add the asparagus that has been
boiled in tie stock. Cook five min
utes, stirring constantly: then add
-four, and cook Ave minutes longer.
Turn this mixture into the boiling
stock and boil gently twenty minutes.

City, Okla. Ter, who is an editor and
electrician, and who during the past
year. has conducted a series OF ex-
periments in wireless telegraphy along
his own lines, by means of his inven-
ton, claims to have transmitted a mes
sage over 1000 miles. Last summer
he frequently talked with persons in
Arkansas City, Topeka and Oklahoma
points. His theory Is that distance
makes NO difference. and that when his
system is properly understood intelli-
gence a be conveyed $4,000 miles a.

public no idea Of his methods. and he

snake Rite Ia India.

Fully twenty thousand Of the popu-
lation Of India are annually killed by
snake bites. The most deadly Of all
Indian reptiles appears to be the CO.
bra di capeiio, which Is greatly dread
cd by the bare-legged Hindoos. With
a view TO reducing the mortality, the
government tried the effect of offer
ing a reward for snakes heads: but,
instead OF diminishing the number of
these reptiles. 1t only increased IL, as
1t was discovered that the natives were
breeding the snakes in order 10 secure
the reward.

Curious Origin Of Flavors.

Among the most remarkable
glimpses into hidden corners OF nature
that recent scientific advance has az
forded are the FREQUENT discoveries OF
micro-organisms In unexpected places,
where they produce phenomena here
tofore supposed to arise from other
causes For instance, DR.. A. PETER
son Of Upsala. Sweden, has ascer-
tanned that In preparations OF meat
and fish containing, for purposes OF
preservation, salt to the amount OF
IL per cent. Heterogeneous grow
luxuriantly, and he concludes that the
fiavors and odors that are peculiar to
various salt conserves are due to the
Heterogeneous with which they are
crowded.

handle. In order to make 1t effective
the vaporizing fluid has to he fed to
the burner In very small quantities,
and this is accomplished by means of
a needle valve operated by a rod pro-
jecting through the handle, so as to
be conveniently opened and closed by
the operator. The advantage OF hav-
ing an iron that never grows cold, in
that it enables the workman to do
more rapid and effective work. Is so
apparent as to require mere mention to
be appreciated. William c. Herbert.

Fighting Hail Win ARTILLERY.

In Syria, and in the country around
Brescia in northern Italy, the vine
Yards are protected against hailstorms
in a most warlike manner About
three years ago Burgomaster Moritz
Stiger Of Syria invented a small can
non, having a funnel fixed upon its
mouth, which was discharged at the
clouds when hail threatened to fall.
The charge used was two or three
ounces Of black powder, and the effect
produced was the prevention Of the
formation of hail. Now a new style
Of breech loading, rapid-fre gun has
been substituted for Stiger's pattern Of
cannon. and those guns are being
placed at 500 stations in the n%eighbor-
hood of Brescia for the protection OF
the vineyards. The vortex OF air shot
from the gun rises about a mile and a
quarter from the ground, and its Whis-
thing sound is heard for a quarter OF a
minute after the discharge.

BENWOOD LUTHERAN CHURCH
Was Rededicated With Appropriate
Services Yesterday.


The seating capacity of St. Mat
thew's Church at Benwood, was
taxed to the utmost during
yesterdays dedicatory services.
Members and friends from Benwood,
Wheeling and Martins Ferry, Ohio,
attended in large numbers, eager to
witness the impressive ceremonies and
ever ready to admire the grand i'm
~provements wrought during the last
month.
The pastor, Rev. P. G. Metzenthin,
OBLIGATED at both services. In the fore
noon he preached on Genesis xviii.
IT: This is none other but the house
of God, and this is the gate of heaven"
The full morning service was used,
supplemented by appropriate music,
rendered by the choir.
Members of the choir and Sunday
school rendered a special programme in
the evening, consisting principally of the
full vesper service, the beauty of which
was yet enhanced by the introduction
of spirited hymns. The pastor again
addressed the congregation. He had
naught to offer but praise and prayer.
He thanked all the members and
friends for the sacrifices they had
made in behalf of the church.
The ten new art windows and the
decorations of the ceiling and altar are
the source of particularly great pride
to pastor and people. The whole edi-
flee, however, and especially the in
terror, present a very creditable ap-
pearance. The striking feature about
it is the churchliness of the arrange
ment and the harmony of colorings.
Messrs. Oscar Schad and Edward
Hepe had very artistically decorated
the church with flowers and plants.
Nearly all the necessary funds have
already been raised. The Ladies' Aid
Society, Mrs. H. w. Schrebe, president,
has been commercially active. Messrs.
Chas. Schad, Chas, Seabright and Rev.
Metzenthin have been a very efficient
committee, soliciting contributions out
side of the congregation. The mem
bers of st. Matthews Church are unan
imously of the opinion that they have
not indeed the largest nor yet an ex-
cessively expensive ediice, but one of
the neatest and most satisfactory
church houses in the city.
