THE wINE-KEEPER IN HIS LOFT.
Rare vintages Not for Sale, as the
World Has Nothing So Precious.

World Has Nothing So Precious.
From the New York Evening Post
Not far from the hurly-burly of the
Stock Exchange is a wine-merchant
whose business has been handed down
like title of nobility. Almost a CEN
fury ago, some of his family had a
warehouse on this spot, and when they
were gone the father of the present wine
merchant took it up, and after him his
son. Thus he came into a knowledge of
all the choice vintages of the last one
hundred years, and many of the CEN
fury before that, and proved that al
though a man may not live to see one
hundred years of a ravens life, he may
by having the right kind of father keep
a oask of wine for more than that length
of time. The wine-keeper Is up two
flights of stairs in one Of those low,
dimly lighted buildings that are still left
over from old New York. His office is
scarcely bigger than a hall bedroom. but
he has also two interior rooms, with a
soft. understanding atmosphere. where
he keeps his private collection, and many
bottles of rare old wines that he Is
treating" for patrons. His speciality, as
has been intimated,, is caring for wines.
and in this connection his business might
almost be called wine hospital.
This" said he the other day, point
ing to huge glass demijohn, contains

say that this is bad habit. and some don't
mind it long the questions are not foolish
or mpolite.
Now, James Henry has grandfather who is
a disagreeable man. He is isagrecablc because
he is one of those men who always want to tell
people things. The things that he tells are
usually true. and often he tells them to people
who ought to know them. but that does not
make him any more agreeable: some say 1t
makes him even less so.
But James Henry and his Grandfat ather get on
very well together because James Henry wants
to know about things and he is kind enough
to his grandfather to let him tell him about
them. That helps them both along and saves
them from troubling other people a good deal
All their friends glad that it happens so.
For instance, James Henry gave his grand
father a beautiful chance the other day. He
owned right up to him that he didn't how
Mr.. Marconi could telegraph without wires,
especially across the Atlantic Ocean. do you
know just how they telegraph with wires?" his
grandfather asked
Asking questions like that is another Of James
Henry's grandfathers disagreeable habits, but
James Henry doesn't mind it He has discov-
cred that he has to go through about so much of
that sort of thing to find out what he wants to
know. NO" said he. mot quite, but I've always
known they could do that
Yes, you've known that good while haven't
your said his grandfather Well the most of
us are 50 used to seeing good many machines
do a good many things that don't bother
about just how they do them: we know that
they do do them. and that is enough for us.
Now. do you know what ether is?"
'"The stuff that puts you to sleep" said James
Henry.
Il don't mean that kind The kind / mean is
quite different, and l don't think that any body
understands it very well. 1t is a substance
which is everywhere; it is in the air and above
the air. and IT reaches to the sun and to the
stars, and it is all through all other things in
the earth and the water and all solid bodies
When We move about and when the earth and
the planets move they pass through it, as if it
were kind OF jelly. No. of course we don't
understand it, but it is the only way that men
OF science account for a good many things
"Wel. Mr.. Marconi has made a machine-I
can't tell you all about ii, and 1t isn't necessary
but the prettiest part Of 1t is where he makes
great electric sparks leap across from one brass
knob to another. with quite display Of fire
works. He can make the sparks jump or stop

Dr. Bradwell. the principal. or, as the boys
called him Familiarity, THE Deacon" Strange
to say. the Deacon smiling, and had not
the customary frown he put on when the boys
were caught skylarking after lights OUT had
been rung.
"Ahem," said the Deacon slowly. "Ahem,"
he coughed again. apparently trying to keep
from laughing, while every mothers son OF the
boys looked and acted very sheepish-
Boys allow to introduce to you the new
tutor, Mr. Shipley. who came too late to meet
you after supper"
The boys Strengthened up and peered back OF
the Deacon to see the tutor. for ii was
an unwritten law in the school that all new in
structors greeted with the best of good
will and the utmost respect.
The new boy stepped out in front of them all,
still hushing and looking uncomfortable
I'm sorry to meet you in this way, boys, he
said. but | was unable to respect my own
wishes in the matter. Perhaps, however. We
shall be the better friends for unceremOnious

James Henry" said his grandfather, you
viii be the death of me- you think of many
things. How do you know they don't spread
down through the water from where the stone
strikes it, and up from where it touches the
bottom? Well, then. these waves from Mr.. Mar
coni's machine spread out. not in a circle but in
the form OF a ban. The first wave widens and
widcns in all directions. and while il is doing il
another starts in the way. and 50 they all
20 out ana out. ore after another. There are a
good many of them, too perhaps one hundred
million a minute. more or less. Now remember
whenever Mr. Marconi presses his key off go
thcs" waves. and whenever he lets go the key
thy stop. Wei. tn "a. an that is needed is some
machine which can feel these vibrations a long
way of, when they come. ana max, a record of
them. and then Mr Maicoui can tick out any
message he likes just as hr would ON an ordi-
nary telegraph machine.
"Now. attached t. the machine which makes
the sparks there is a wire, which is hung as
high up in the air they can get it. | don't
think that anybody knows. even Mr. Marconi
himself. just how much this wire is good for, or
just what it is good for; but it does seem some
now to help those waves To get off, and To help
them to go further when they are off. Then
somewhere away of. there is another wire hung
up. and that helps t. catch the waves and
H.
tick and tells what Mr. Marconi has to say
Mr.. Marconi thought for 4 while that the
higher he could hang his wire the further he
could send his waves. but he about gave that IN
the other day. when he sent them right across
the Atlantic He used to think toe. that the
waves went through the air, but he doubted
that when he found that few houses or even n
big hill in the way did not seem To trouble his
waves at all. So perhaps they go through the
earth instead of the air And then when they
sent the waves from Cornwall. in England to
Newfoundland and Mr.. Marconi held the wire
by a KITE string, the earth curved so much thar
there was a piece of it more than n hundred
miles thick between the two places So as Ions,
as we don't know just what the waves Jo -,
through, we say that they go through tb.

1ou don't seem to know much about il any
way. do YOU? said James Henry
There is certainly good deal of euess,vorl,

DONE AND is TRYING TO DO.

James Henry is boy who wants to know
about things. He is not big hoy. and he
doesn't like to be called little boy. but it might
be fair to cali him a middle sized boy. This
habit of wanting to know about things gives
him another habit of asking questions Some
