THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Weaker, witt; Corn Firm and
Oats Somewhat Lower

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Whcat was weak
closing lac lower than last night
While there was more rain in the North
west. the prospects OF clearing weather
has more effect. The Northwestern adj
vices were that receipts were increasing
materially. Liverpool was comparatively
firm, only &c lower; Paris was lac
hlgheF. Primary receipts were about the
same as last year; clearances. AZ. 600
bushels. There was a good cash demand
$4,000 bushels taken here. The aenboard
reports twenty loads. Bradstreet's worlds
visible increases 4.624, 600 bushels.
The corn market was very firm with
out much trade. September was in de-
mand from scattered shorts and the good
cash demand helped the October. 450. 900
bushels taken here. The trade in the
other futures was very small. Primary
receipts were 1900 bushels against
l,529,O0O last year. Todays receipts here
were GO cars. with 40 for tomorrow.
Cats were heavy and lower under lioui
dalton by outside October longs. who seem
more inclined to sell than to transfer to
later months. Yesterdays shipments from
Chicago were unusually large, amounting
TO S29, 600 bushels. Cash oats were fairly
active at about yesterdays prices. To-
days car lots were $50, with 215 estimated
for Wednesday.
Hog receipts were again in excess OF
expectations, but this did not prevent a
firmer market for provisions, and a steady
close ut some advance. There was fairly
good trade, packers buying the nearby
months and selling January deliveries,
with commission houses doing the reverse.
The fact that the excellent constructive
demand continues to decrease stocks gives
this market strong undertone.

there had been gains of from a fraction

The specialties were not so well sup
ported, and several new low prices were
made by them, but before the close there
were general advances so that even in
these stocks the close was for the most

group. too, the influence of investment

buying is made without taking much into

what her mother would say upon see
ing her little daughter grown tall,
and her heart bounded with all the
sprightliness Of younger days when
her mother fastened out to hold her
head against her cheek. And that aged
Indian woman did just as any white
mother would do in the same circum-
stances.
She built a brisk fire on the ground
in the tepee and hung a blackened
coffee pot on one of the prongs Of a
forked pole which leaned over the
flames. Placing pan on a heap of red
embers, she baked some unleavened
bread. This light luncheon she brought
into the cabin and arranged on a table
covered with checkered oilcloth.
Primitive cookery, you say? True
but to Zitkala-Sa it was home cookery
and the cook was her mother. Follow
ing this simple meal comes a long chat
recalling days OF long ago. Her mother
has lostnone of her hatred for the pale
faces. To her the bronzed Dakota is
still the only real man. To her Taku
Iyotan Wasaka-the absolute power
remains the only hope of her race. And
then in the long twilight Ztkala-Sa's
thoughts run in this wise:
| had lost all consciousness for
the nature world about me. For
the white mans prayers | had
given up my faith in the
Great Spirit. For these same papers, |
had forgotten the healing in trees and
books. On account of my mothers
simple view of life, and my lack OF
any, gave her up also. Like a
slender tree, had been uprooted from
my mother, nature and God. The
natural coat of bark which had pro-
tected my oversensitive nature was
scraped off to the very quick.
But from this dream Zitkala-Sa
awakened with a new idea. She had
thought of another and better way of
trying to solve the problem OF Indian
education, and with this end in view
she is now taking a long course of
study in an eastern city. Need it be
said that those who have read these
simple sketches, Sc full of pathos and
beauty and longing, will await the re-
suit Of her further studies with far
from idle expectancy?

OF THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.
Msrconi's Device the Outcome of the
Work of Others.

Like most great inventions or I'M
provements in the arts and sciences,
wireless telegraphy is the outcome of
the labor, not of one man, but of seve-
raj. Let US see to what extent the
way had been marked out for Mar
conf. He studied Hertz, and Hertz
studied Maxwell, who had Michael
Faraday's experiments before him
showing some sort of relationship be-
tween electromagnetic waves and
light. Hertz could not have over
looked Professor Henry's discovery
forty years before of the effect Of an
electric spark upon distant needle.
James Clark Maxwell, in 1878, after
nearly ten years investigation, pub
lished his famous mathematical equa-
lions establishing the law of identity
of light and electromagnetic propaga-
ton through the other. Professor
Fitzgerald of Dublin had already af-
firmed his belief in the theory. Hertz
proved this by actual measurement Of
the waves.
Professor Lodge and others had ex-
perimented with wave transmission
before Marconi came on the scene. The
waves had been sent through walls
and other obstacles, but the idea of
using them for long-distanee tel
egraphy, if thought of at all was not
seriously considered. Professor Lodge
says that nothing but Stupidity" pre-
vented it.
Professor Hughes, the inventor of
the microphone, had discovered that
a high-tension spark affected certain
forms of mis- instrument at a distance,
and claims to have been quietly plan
ming wireless telegraph for years be-
fore Marconi was heard of. Onesti, an
Italian professor, had experimental
with copper filings as variable con-
ductor, but 1t remained for Professor
Brandy of the Catholic University of
Paris to produce the "coherer," a
working receiver for electromagnetic
waves transmitted through the ether,
In this simple little device, not larger
than two inches of lead pencil,
coupled with the Hertz oscillator, Mar
conf saw his wireless telegraph, and
proved the truth of Professor Lodges
rueful remark that nothing but
stupidity has delayed the wonderful
