Wireless Telcgraphy.

Electricians used to the older meth
DDS of telegraphy, and business men
interested in them, are somewhat re-
luctant to acknowledge the possibili-
ties Of wireless telegraphy," just as
gas engineers were slow to believe in
electric lighting. 1t Is human nature.
Unable to deny that Marconi has been
successful in measure, some tele-
graph engineers are disposed to limit
the wireless telegraph to short dis
tances OF a few miles, and say 1t will
only be useful for coast communication
to lightships, etc. Professor r. A.
Fessenden. however, in the "Transac-
tions OF the American Institute OF
Electrical Engineers" shows that Mar
coni's law for the range OF signalling,
namely, that 1t is proportional to the
product Of the heights of the vertical
wires used at the sending and receiv-
ing stations, has a rational basis. and,
therefore. with high enough sending
and receiving wires, as well as power
full sparks, and slight improvements in
the apparatus, the range might be car
ried to a thousand miles or more

HE GAVE UP DUCKS.

They Liked the water Too Well and
SWAN Away.
On the regular day Of the week the
customary rap was heard on the back
door, and when 1t was opened the pic
turesque farmer, in bedtick trousers.
tucked into rubber boots, stood on the
sill smiling. and gently stroking the
scarf Of chin whiskers that hung down
and lightly swept his wishbone. When
he had counted out the usual number
OF eggs with which he supplied us and
had put the money into the antique
wallet which he held together and In
shape with about yard Of cord and
a safety pin, the small boy Of the
household said: why don't you
bring duck eggs for a change once in
a while?" Il can't bring you duck
eggs because / can't keep ducks"
When he paused the small boy afore-
said, who is simply a storehouse Of
questions, each Of which Is forever
struggling to escape, asked. Cant
keep ducks, why not?" Because I
have tried" replied the farmer. Il
last year bought lot Of pekins and
muscovas, and 1t was no CO." When he
lapsed into silence once moro the
small boy ag' in went at him with q
question. Didn't you have water?"
That's just what was the matter"
said the farmer. II couldn't keep the
ducks because I had water, and not
because l hadn't water. I have fine
stream right beside the house." And
wouldn't the ducks get into IT." asked
the boy. They would and did," said
the farmer, "and that is Just where the
trouble came In. II they had kept out
of the water they would have been all
right" why, what did the water do
to them" asked the boy, with the per-
sistency Of a washerwoman who car
ries news budgets from house to
house. What did 1t do to them?" said
the farmer, rising and jumping upon
his wagon, because he was so mad he
couldn't keep still. What did 1t do
to them?" he repeated as he made a
crack at the horse with the whip.
This is what 1t did to them: 1t took
them down the current. Five minutes
after | had turned them loose they
were on the stream, and they shot out
Of sight on the tide as II they'd been
fired out OF cannon. and amt saw
them since. Chickens is all right
around place where there's water,
but when l want to keep ducks again
guess Ill go off somewhere where
there amt no streams, and then. II the
ducks has got to have water, I'll put
up n shower bath in the barn for them.
Gee up" then he shouted with vim at
the recalcitrant horse, and was soon
| out OF sight.-New York Herald.

She Died a Recluse.

Valparaiso, Ind, Oct. IA
lone and friendless, in poverty and
q ,cheerless, unclean old house,
Sophia Choate died in this city. a
few feet from the tumbled-down
bedstead in warping trunks lay de-
caying gowns and garments of
rich and costly material, in the
fashions of thirty years ago.
Upon sagging book shelves
stood rotting volumes of classic
literature, now well nigh priceless
because of their antiquity. Yet
the entire financial store of the
lonely old woman amounted to s
cents in cash.
Sophia Choate was an old and
well known resident of this city.
OF distinguished lineage, she was
cousin of Honorable Joseph III
Choate present Ambassador to the
Court of st. James, and a close
relative of the late Horace Greeley
She was woman of culture ant
refinement, a graduate of Mount
Holyoke Seminary in Massachu
sets, and at one time a teacher il
the public schools here.
Twenty-Five years ago she alb
ruptly withdrew from the worlt
about her. Retiring to large
barn-like house on a downtown
street, she henccforth lived tn
cherries and taciturn life of a re
cluse.
Ncighbors were not welcome,
within the forbidding portals o
the grim old home. She was sci
dom seen and had absolutely N
friends. How she lived is a mys
terry.
The house, for want of repairs
has been decaying. 1t is misera
bly, furnished. A few days ag
the strange spinster was found ly
ing helpless upon her floor. Chair
table townspeople cared for her
but want and hunger had don
their work.

An Open Letter to Teachers

Dear Teacher: AS an enter
prising teacher, you are surely
ready to undertake anything that
will contribute to the efficiency of
your school and to the permanent
good of the youth of your district.
Perhaps the best thing that can be
done for country school today is
to supply it with working libra
ry of interesting and instructive
books, such as will aid in the use
of the course of study for rural and
village schools. On pages 124 and
125 of the new school law are elias
sified lists of books for this pur-
pose. These books will be espec-
tally helpful in the mature Stud
"" history and literature work as
outlined in the course. Can you
not procure some of them for your
SCHOOL, Will you not make the
effortf October and November
have been named as library months
Every teacher in Missouri is urg.
emily requested to take up the
work at once and push it vigorous
ly. Various ways of raising funds
have been suggested-entertain
ments, suppers, book receptions
popular subscriptions, appropria
ton of district incidental funds
etc, etc. The best method is tn,
method you can use most success
fully. The Missouri School Journ
al for October will contain som,
suggestions, the November mum
Der will contain a program for ;
library entertainment. Many 10
calities are becoming interested
and are establishing libraries
What of your district? Make al
honest persistent effort and repor
to us for publication in the Mis-

Logic of Land Values.

Ex-senator j. b. Henderson,
writing to n Kansas City friend
from Durant, n. Y, discusses
land values interestingly and
points out the difference between
real and artificial prosperity. He
writes:
II agree with YOU that lands
take value from the value of their
products. The value of their pro-
duets depends on the demand for
them. For four years the foreign
demand for agricultural products
has been enormous, while the
home demand has been doubled.
The foreign demand brought gold
into this country, and the abund-
ance of that gold has increased
prices of everything at home.
That increase of prices of agricult-
ural products has equally increas-
ed the price of farming lands. But
in increasing the value of farm
products, the same cause has great
ly increased the price of all COM
moditics that enter into the living
of those who are and who are not
farmers.
"This forces economy on the
artisan, the merchant and the day
laborer. This economy tends to
decrease consumption. That de-
crease of consumption lessons the
home demand. And in that con-
dition of things, if it should hap
pen that large crops are produced
abroad, agricultural products be-
gin to decline, and once beginning
the decline goes on, for, without
doubt, there are cycles of good and
bad crops, both at home aud IL
broad. And when the demand
reaches the lowest level, then the
lands themselves sympathize in
value with the value of their prod
ucts. If the products sell for half
their former value, the lands al
once, or very soon, assume tn,
lower level.
II have, in my own experience
seen lands decline more than hall
the preceding value. And | agree
with Solomon, that there is moth.
ing new under the sun. What
has been will be again, in spite OF
all that man can door, at least
in spite of all he will do. In pros
pcrity his greed is augmented. He
becomes rapacious and arrogant
He lavishcs his means and seeks
to recuperate by imprudent specu.
lations or by schemes of war and
aggression upon the rights of 9th
ers. In this way he scatters his
riches and incurs debt and taxes
to be discharged in poverty and
misery. This latter condition i.
what the world calls hard times.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., Is heir to
more millions than any young man In
the country today. He Is not yet rs,
and his whole life has been a prepara-
ton for the enormous task Of caring
for the estate. Young Alfred Wander
bilt, who inherited the bulk of his ia
theirs fortune over his brother Cor
nelius, because the latter's marriage
did not suit his father, is %. He has
graduated from college and has seen a

Vanderbilt, Jr., will never have to
worry over bills, for he is the pros
pective heir to his fathers 100000 900.
He is born business man, rather than
a student. He left college before grad
uation and married Virginia Fair. The
son OF William Waldorf Aston, who
lives in England, is 10, and will get the
bulk OF his fathers fortune. At the
present time It Is estimated that for
tune is 100000 000 John Jacob Aston

brother, has over $4,000, 000 most Of

OF age, he is the manager OF his IA

Shipping Lamps to Bagdad.

An enterprising New York manufac-
turer is shipping lamps to Bagdad, the
home OF Aladdin. He had made lamp
that seems to have captured the whole
Orient. and princes and potentates are
clamoring for his goods. Missionaries
were responsible for the introduction
OF the lamps. Many of the buyers are
exalted personages. The lamps go to
the Emperor OF Slams palace at Bang
kok, to the Sultan Of Morocco's palace
Morocco, and to a number of caliphs
at Damascus and viziers at Bagdad
These lamps burn kerosene oil, but
they have no chimneys. BY a me-
chanical device air Is forced into the
flame, which gives clear white light
equal to twenty-candle power.-New

DnOw MINI ~ SEA.
Experiments Showing How 1t Can DO
Avoided.

Avoided.
Anatomical experiments have shown
that the weight of the body Is about
equal to the same bulk OF seawater, so
that persons falling overheard who
cannot swim, II they do not attempt
to keep more than their mouth oIt Of
water, can sustain themselves for a
considerable length OF time. Most per-
sons who fall into the water lose their
presence of mind, and either draw
their hands up or wildly dash them
through the air and water. OF course,
the instant the weight OF the arms Is
added to the weight OF the head above
the water the body sinks, and few
repetitions OF this ends in another ac-
cidental drowning" The same strug-
giles with the hands and feet under
the water would have preserved life.
What all persons should impress upon
their minds is this: That in case they
should fall overheard they must retain
control OF their senses, the hands and
arms must be kept under water, and
the feet and hands in motion to sus-
tain the head out of water. So long
as the mouth and nostrils do not get
submerged there is no danger.-Cin-
CAnnati Enquirer.

War Makes for Piety.

Corporal l.. Flaxman, Second North
amptons, writes to Northampton as
follows: War is the most SOLDERING
influence | know. Not only does 1t
keep men compulsorily sober from a
teetotal point OF view. but 1t sobers
their every day by reflections and
thoughts OF their possible fate. They
listen more attentively to the religious
services. and you will find many who
in times Of peace may be the worst
blasphemers now studying their b.
bles and turning their thoughts more
toward God. There is plenty OF SCOT
fing in barracks. but man who says
his prayers has n respectful and even
reverent audience In his tent. Some
times | wish for the sake OF the NOR
ais Of our army that We were always
at war. II 1t brings evils It brings
the blessing OF impressing soldiers
with their duties TO their God as we'll
as their queen and Countrywide

insurance companies of inserting a

cremation of persons insured after
death. 1t is claimed that crema-
ton destroys all the evidence of

several cases fraud was perpetrat-
ed on the companies carrying poll
cies of insurance.
