Experiments with Wireless relegre

Experiments are reported with wire less telegraphy during ten days be- tween Chamonix and the Vallot Ob- servatory, on Mont Blanc; the straight distance was seven and five one-hun- dredths miles and the difference in height two miles. After descrip> tion of the transmitting and receiving stations, the results are summed up as follows: The experiments were made every day during eleven hours. The signals were satisfactory only for distance between the oscillator spheres equal to eight one-hundredths of an inch. The absence of water in liquid form did not interfere, neither did the intervention of clouds. Although at- mosoheric electricity actuated the ap- naratus several times, it did not make communication impossible.

PACKING AMERICAN sARDlNEs.
How an Interesting and Important In-
 dustry Is Conducted.

How an Interesting and Important In-
 dustry Is Conducted.
 The packing of small herrings, or, as they are often called, American sardines," is an important industry in Maine. In that state there are fifty factories, which give employment to a large number of hands during four or five months of the year. The an- nual output is estimated to be of tn average value of $3,000,Oo0, and about half this amount finds its way into the pockets of the factory employees in the form of wages. The fish are caught in seines scattered all along the coast for distance of about hundred miles. After the fish are taken in sail boats to the factories they are thrown into strong brine, where they remain for some time. They are then laid on iron crates and conveyed to an im mense oven, where the crates are laid on revolving shelves. After twenty minutes cooking the fish are ready for packing. There are two methods of packing, one in oil, the other in mus tard. The ground mustard is mixed with vinegar; for oil packing cotton seed oil is used. About gill of oil is put into a can, and then the baked fish from the ovens are carefully packed into it and the cover snapped on. The pans then go to the sealer, who sits in front of a little furnace in which his soldering iron is plunged. Seizing the can, he runs the heated iron around the cover, holding the sol der just in front of it, and seals the can so rapidly that the eye can hardly follow his movements The sealed eans are thrown into bath of boiling water, in which they remain for two hours. If any of them leak, the tops will bulge out, and these go back to be resealed. After the cans are cleaned with sawdust they are packed into cases and put on the market as genuine American sardines in pure olive oil

THE STAGGERING PRICE"

The saying Of President Kruger. that
the Transvaal could be conquered only
'at a price to stagger humanity" Is
now remembered, on account OF the
published statistics Of British losses in
the war.
The number Of British soldiers put
out Of action up TO the eth OF April was
about $4,000 OF these III officers and
1850 men were killed In action: As Of
tcers and l65 men have died Of wounds;
l6s officers and s,722 men are prisoners
or missing; A. officers and LASS men
have died Of disease, while 2SS officers
and 1894 men have been sent home as
incapactated
This is staggering" enough, IN view
Of The fact that the British army Of oc-
oupation has as yet not entered the
Transyaal. and that an signs indicate
that the most stubborn and perhaps the
most sanguinary conflict is yet to come.
The war has now lasted few days
over six months. and what the cost Of
it in lives and money may be before
another six months are over, is i'm
possible 70 say.
sull, II these figures are compared
with statistics Of the casualties OF
former wars. the thought must strike
one. that modern implements Of war
are less staggering IN the results OBJ
talned than were the less perfect
weapons Of former struggles. When
armies met in the open and fought
with swords and spears. often half the
number engaged was killed. II is re-
corded that 100000 Persians were slain
in one day by the army Of Alexander
Hannibal at Cannae, slew $1,000 Ro-
mans OF an army Of $1,000. and during
the battle in the Valley OF the Marne
which ragged for three days II is esu-
mated that $4,000 men fell by the
hordes under the terrible Attlla, "the
scourge Of the Almighty" According to
Josephus It is estimated that over a
million lives were lost al the destruc-
ton Of Jerusalem, and Cmsar's wars are
said 10 have cost two million lives.
Compared TO these figures, or even
to the death lists OF the Napoleonic
wars, or the civil War Of this country
the casualties Of the South African
struggle seem insignificant But when
Kruger uttered his now famous predic-
ton he no doubt meant 10 say that
the Beers were determined 10 fight 10
the last man, and rather die than yield.
He meant TO convey the idea that when
the men gave put, the women and chill
dren would take up the arms and con-
tlnue the battle from hill 10 hill UNI
an the country became one vast grave
yard. II this forecast Is to be verified,
the price OF victory VIII be "stagger-
ing" FOR every fallen Boer win have
sold his life as dearly as possible.
The fact that the rehearsal Of the
casualties Of this unfortunate conflict
gives a shock to the civilized world, Is
a good sign. only a hundred years
ago they would have been considered
a bagatelle II is an assurance that
humanity Is progressing and that Sow
crelgnity IS within the reach Of civil
izatlon. Notwithstanding spasmodic

CREED REVISION,


The storm raised by the withdrawal
OF Prof. McGifert and Dr. Hills from
the Presbyterian denomination threat
ems 20 become a cyclone And now tho
demand is heard from all quarters for
a revision OF the creed. Among those
In favor Of something new Is Rev.
David Gregg, Of Brooklyn, who says;
THE Presbyterian church needs a new
and simple creed Though l am a con-
sentative Presbyterian, 7 say that some
OF the Items OF the Confession OF Faith,
on which the Presbyterian church
stands, are dead" Another pastor says
he "abhors some statements IN the Con-
fesslon," and believes "there are men
in the church today as competent to
formulate its expression Of faith as
were the men Of two hundred and fifty
years ago" OF course there is some OPP
position, and the question Is raised
whether truth can he revised, or wheth-
er the Presbyterian creed is not the
truth? And II the creed can be revised,
why cannot the Bible. too be revised.
so as 20 eliminate from 1t what some
consider Objectionable? At any rate
the Presbyterians now have enough
questions on hand to require them TO
leave other denominations alone.
