Habits Of thrift are generally com

cause for amusement without the per

rhis was the case recently with a well

NEW DISCOVERY.
4 Annihllates Distance In Wireless
Teieu aphv.


Bold researches by Prof Reginald
A. Fessenden and 1is assistant. Prof
Kintner. in the es sctrical laboratory
of the Western University Of Penn
sylvania, have resu tied in the produc-
tion of a receiver for wireless teleg-
raphy that is 1000 times more sensi-
tive than the first made and several
hundred times moro sensitive than the
so-called MarcOni "coherers." The
stupendous importance of this discov-
cry lies In the fact that it demon
strates that MESSAGES can be sent the
80 miles distance the Italian has GOV.
cred in his English Squadron expert
ments, plus the number of times the
Fessenden receiver is more sensitive
than the "cOherer," or in effect, around
the world.
Although we have improved the
receiver so that 1t is 5000 times as
sensitive as the original one, we real
ize that we have not begun to see
the limit. No further changes will
be made along this line for the pres
ent, as we now work with a spark SO
small as to be a lmost invisible.
'Marconi, in his brilliant expert
ments. has demonstrated that mes
our receiver is several hundred times
more sensitive, it is clear that the
messages can be sent by our method
very much further, though just what
he limit is | would not like to say It
at least should be possible to send
messages across the Atlantic with
poles less than two hundred feet high.
The ultimate distance must be checked

comes a scientific fact in the strictest
sense.
Energetic work will be commenced
on long distances as soon as we have
settled all of the purely scientific ques-
lions involved in wireless telegraphy.
II is matter of infinitely greater i'm
portance, from the standpoint of sci
ence, to discover the exact shape of
he waves, how they change in their
progress outward, how the energy is
lost when we increase the distance
and how they vary under varying con-
litions.
by means of our instruments, the
first ever discovered capable of giving
Hxast measurements of waves, we
have succeeded in discovering some
very interesting facts. For example,
we have proved definitely that the
waves are not Hertz waves travelling
through space, but that they are sim
lar to those which travel over the sur
lace of conductors, and which were
irst investigated by Lodge. We have
also discovered that the waves in
crease regularly in height as they
progress outward.
Work is being pushed, and as soon
rs possible we shall begin on long dis
lances, Our present course will en-
able us to go on with little loss Of
line. While the present investiga-
ions are slow, they are preparing the
way for rapid and more certain tests
over large areas later. ."-Pittsburg

Stage Heroes Are Scarce.

"The making of actresses is easier
than the making of actors" writes
Franklin Fyles of "The Theatre and
Its People" in the December Ladies'
Home Journal. "The young women
are by nature more apt and pliable.
Their faces are most mobile, their
manners more graceful their habits
of speech and bearing more variable.
When the roundup of talent comes
and the the graduates are turned out
for the professional service there are
half a dozen proficient actresses to
every actor Of equal ability. This Is
shown at the matinee trial perform
ances, in which the female roles are
generally well played, while the male
ones are not If promising actresses
are more numerous, six to one. than
actors, the same ratio operates in
favor of young men in getting work.
A good-looking fellow finds himself in
no such glutted market as discour-
ages his sister aspirant. If he is cleY-
er he will readily get an opening, even
though he is ugly The masculine
roles in plays predominate largely.
OF eomely intelligent and tolerable
faciie actresses the supply is far in
excess of the demand. Heroes are
scarce. Heroines are plenty"

Hospitality there is different, and
ends to be swamped by numbers, and
sven chilled into an apparent indiffer-
snce that is really compelled by cir
,umstances. Often it makes a brave
light and never wholly gives up, but

Ieldom it happens that the enormous
lggravation of social and intellectual
opportunities that confront country
,eople who come to live in New York
10 discourage them that they end in
living narrower lives in the great city
md seeing fewer people than in the
smaller town from which they came
And if it does not discourage them it
IS apt to drive them too hard. A New
Yorker who always had a house in
town and another in the country near
by, excused himself for building a

He stood bx His Mistake.

When old Jacob Willoughby died
Kensington lost one of its unique char.
acters. Previous to the Centennial
Exposition of 1876 Mr.. Willoughby
was seized with a fear that the mil
lions of visitors who were expected in
the city would deplete the food mar
kets of Philadelphia, and that fam
inc would ensue. So firmly did he be-
come convinced of the truth of his
prediction that he Immediately laid in
an enormous stock of edibles, mostly
canned goods. The cellar of his
house was piled high with preserves,
potted meats, canned vegetables and
nearly every other article Of non-per-
ishable foods.
OF course, the anticipated famine
did not materialize, and Mr. Willough-
by was left with his stores on his
hands. He might have disposed of
them, but that would have meant ad-
mitting his mistake, and so he kept
them. For twenty-three years, ac-
cording to well authenticated reports,
he has fed his family and his guests
on the aftermath of his Centennial
stock, and when company came there
was great rejoicing in the family, for
then the stuff went faster At the

political leader in New York is more

about this time that very young

among the veteran political reporters

Every one was expecting an import

there was nothing to give out. There

Mr. Platt, who is tall, slender and
gray bearded, with a style of humor
that can only be characterized as
grim, disengaged his arm from that
of his young friend and looked at him.
He was astonished for the first time
in years.

threaten to demolish the greatest en-

CleVerness With Which the Victim
Walked Out of the Loop.
81 witnessed a really astonishing
exhibition of GOODNESS and presence of
mind this afternoon" said a New Or
leans insurance man a few days ago.
"Some workmen were removing an
overhead wire on upper Prytanian
street, when one end of it broke loose
and dropped down to the pavement.
1t doubled into a sort of loop as it
fell, and, by singular chance, it COM
pletely encircled a young man who
was passing, without, however, touch
ing him anywhere.
Some people were standing in a
nearby doorway, and Immediately
yelled Live wirel" Nine men out of
ten would have lost their heads COM
pletely under such circumstances, but
this young man was as calm as a sum-
mer's morning. The wire was wrig
Cling all around him like an immense
snake, and threatened every moment
to strike him on the legs, but he made
no effort to jump. On the contrary,
he stood perfectly still, putting away
at a cigar he had been smoking as he
came along. Presently, when he saw
an opportunity, he sauntered quietly
out of the open end of the loop, as un.
concerned to all appearances, as a
man walking out of a drawing room.
81 was on the opposite side of the
street at the time the thing occurred,
and | must confess it made my hair
bristle on my head. l ran across and
could not help remarking to the young
man that | admired his pluck. He
laughed. oh, that's all on the sur
face!' he said. I'm dripping with
sweat and am really scared half to
death l would like to round off this
story by saying that the wire was
carrying enough current to kill an ele-
phant, but the truth is that it was not
connected at the time and was as
harmless as a piece of clothes line.

knew for half an hour, and | insist
that it has no bearing on the real
