MAcH1NE-MADE STATUES.
"A Process Tint Now Renders the Services of n High-Priced
 Sculptor Unnecessnry.

If you want bust or statue of your- self you need no longer feel obliged to go to high-priced sculptor and contract for it regardless of expense. You can have the thing done by me chanical process, says the Saturday Evening Post.
 The machine-scu1ptor will place you on pedestal which revolves, and will turn you slowly around while he takes a series of photographs of you with a fixed camera. As a result he will have views of yourself from every standpoint, and then it only remains to convert these pictures into the DOT trait in marble that is desired.
 There is no preliminary model in clay. A piece of marble of the neces. sary size is provided, and the outlines of the first photograph, with suitable enlargement, are traced upon the stone, process being used that makes accuracy certain. Then the stone is revolved a certain distance, so as to correspond automatically with the view taken in the second photograph, and the operation is repeated. This is done with all the photographs suc- cessively, the chisel doing it's work meanwhile, until replica of yourself is produced in the marble.
 Though the process is in the main mechanical, some artistic skill is re- quired. The outlines are well repro duced in the manner described, but such details as the ears and the hair must have treatment with the chisel.

HAS MADE PROGRESS
Marconi's Wireless Telegraph More
 Than an Experiment.
Young Inventor Claims That It Will Play an Important Part in the Industrial and Trade Life
 of the Future.

In recent lecture delivered before the British Society of Arts, Guglielmo Marconi, the perfecter of wireless te- legraphy, reported progress. Marconi has been actively at work for several years on the commercial installation of his system throughout the world and in developing, experimentally new devices and methods of transmitting signals through space without wires. An authoritative statement from him amounts to summary of what has been accomplished up to date with the new wonder.
 First reports of the work of the wireless telegraph indicated that, while it was extremely interesting from scientific standpoint, in prac- tice it possessed such important limi- tations as to make it of no great com mercial value, except in few places where conditions were peculiar. The reports of the failure of the system as tried during the operations of the British army in South Africa tended further to confirm the idea that the wireless telegraph would never reach position of great industrial value.
 To people possessing these ideas, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the statements of Marconi will carry great enlightenment. By number of most ingenious inventions and devices he has done away with the principal drawbacks at first experienced, and has developed a new system of wire less telegraphy which is as far ahead of the one used by him at the begin ming as his first work was in advance of the original experiments of Hertz and Henry. In fact, he states that the system and apparatus he first put in use are out of date and practically valueless, and are being rapidly super seded by his new inventions.
 The principal and vital objection ob- served in the first installations of the

 Though Mrs. Grover Cleveland is sell dom heard of nowadays, she does a great deal of charity work. Not long ago she quietly made a tour of the down part of New York city to person ally observe the workings of a relief society in which she is actively inter- ested.
 MT. Field, one of the Irish members of parliament, has suggested an in quiry into the causes of the enormous emigration from Ireland at present He states that S,665 persons left Irish ports last month, against 8, 105 for the corresponding month of the previous year, and that the total for the five months of the present year was 1s,- 197.
 George Gould, like his father, is a silent man. He divides his secrets with no one. Taught in a practical school, he has the ability, the wealth ana the experlence to develop his plans on scale of great magnitude. It is predicted he will make greater repu- tation as master financier than his father left, and that he will accumu- late, if he has not done so already, a much larger fortune.
 Walter Campbell, who has just pub lished a book of humorous poems, il- lustrated by Princess Louise, is said to be one of the best amateur reciters and Scotch story tellers in British so- ciety.

s'I win the SEQ. If it is missing the money is yours." Nt2 .
 Next morning Hawkins got up with the conviction that he was $20 better off than he was the day before. He met Elliott on the corner and they walked over to the scene of their ex- pertinent.
 eff I win," said Elliott, "of course I get the wheel as we'll as the $20. If you win there won't be any wheel"
 Hawkins, sure of winning, agreed to this proposition with smile.
 Sure" he said, ''you can have the wheel and I'll give you ten dollars extra for it.''
 A moment later they turned the corner and approached the vacant lot. the wheel.
 It was there still. Hawkins saw it first and said nothing. Elliott got his eyes on it.
 'Well,' he said, ''I win. ''I'll trouble you for that $20. And you may as we'll cough up the extra ten and take your old wheel away with you. l cer- tainly have no use for it."
 Hawkins, almost overcome, paid the money and, taking the bicycle by the handlebars, started to walk away with it. Elliott went with him.
 "Well, don't let's have any hard feelings about it, anyway" he said. 'Come in to Hineline's and have a drink on me-"
 Hineline's was the saloon on the cor ner, half block away. The two men walked down to the side entrance, near which Hawkins left the wheel, leaning it up against the wall while he went inside with Elliott. Hineline himself, whom Elliott knew, was on duty back of the bar, and he re- hearsed for the old mans benefit the story of his bet and how he had won it.
 ''It proves" he concluded, "that bi- cycling is so much on the bum now adays that you can't find thief that'H steal a wheel"
 Finally they finished their drink, had another lon the house." and Hawkins walking ahead. As he stepped out of the door he started to pick up the ill-omened wheel, but it was missing. He had left it within six inches of the side door and they had been inside not more than five minutes.
 "For. Heavens sake," broke out Hawkins. Somebody has pinched that wheel"
 They made a careful search of the vicinity, but the only clew they ever

wireless telegraph was that there was no way of protecting messages from the disturbances caused by other mes sages or by meteorological conditions. Privacy of messages was impossible, and too many stations caused hopeless confusion of signals. By the invention of an object which looks like a big cyl inder of copper, with a wire reaching from the ground up through it's center, Marconi has succeeded in making the messages sent at one station receiv- able only at the particular station in- tended. He has thus made it possible to increase greatly the number of sta- tions in given locality without caus- ing trouble. A fexibility of operation approaching that of the wire telegraph has been the result.
 Other great improvements recently developed in wireless telegraphy have reduced enormously the height of the wires necessary to transmit and re- ceive signals, and have increased the distance to which messages can be sent. A portable apparatus which can be attached to railroad car, and be ready for use even when the train is AlOfluS, AS dhOtnCA oCfO1ORluCAO O1 III terest. According to Marconi, the prob lems which proved too severe for wire less telegraphy in the Boer war in South Africa are now easy of solution.
 Marconi devoted large part of his address to refuting the statement that the wireless telegraph was not yet a commercial proposition. He named a score of places in various parts of the globe where public messages were be- ing handled at regular rates with profit. Over 35 ships of the British navy have been provided with the ap- paratus, and practically all lightships and detached lighthouses belonging to Great Britain have been fitted with it. Many lives and much property have been saved with it's assistance. The Borkum lightship, belonging to the German government, on Borkum riff, reports 565 commercial messages re- ceived from May to October, of which SIS came from ships. mostly the North German Lloyd steamers.
 If Improvements continue to be made in the next five years as in the last five it is safe to say that wireless telegraphy will play large part in the industrial and commercial life of the near future

 And praised him when they knew that he
