A short time ago the Italian colony
in New York gave banquet to Mar
conf the famous inventor. The formal
toasts were given and answered with
customary eloquence.
1t was pointed out that Marconi had
made one of the great inventions of the

Then the chairman said, amid perfect
silence:
"Only through self-sacrifice and love
of his mother did our distinguished
compatriot obtain the education and
the advantages which enabled him to
accomplish the feats which have made
him immortal Fellow countrymen, I
have the honor to propose as your
toast, Here's TO the Mother of the
Father of Wireless Telegraphy.'

Elements oil Cold Weather.

The present cold weather is giving the
loggers an opportunity to do good work
in the pineries, and judging by the num-
Der of men being sent to the camps daily,
they are taking advantage of it. The
swamps which were unfrozen until quite
recently are now. frozen solid, and It is
possible to shorten the roads. In some
localities Ioggers who lave large hauls
are wishing for more snow. Those who
have shorter hauls are making ice roads,
which serve as well as snow roads.
