icasin9 from ship 20 Land. y

The steamship Georgia, which has
arrived at New York from Liverpool,
had on board as a passenger Mr.. X.
w. Sherman. who had charge of the
experiments with wireless telegraphy
on the Georgia off Brow Head. MIR.
Sherman said that he sent messages
to Brow Head from distance of over
13 miles and received replies, but could
not receive messages farther than
that owing to the fact that the roll
ing of the ship somewhat disarranged
his instruments. He does not use the
Marconi, but system invented by
Col. Henry Montague Hosier. secre-
tary of Lloyd's, London, and Mr.. NevTI
Maskelyne. OF the Egyptian hall. Pic.
cadilly, London. The instrument on
the vessel was attached to the metal
of the ship and connected with wires
which were attached to fore and aft
stays of the steamer. The influence
which conveys the message in wireless
telegraphy is able to pass readily
through insulators, such as in a glass,
but is absorbed to very great extent
by all conductive mater ials. especially
by sheet metals.

MOUNTAIN SLIDES INTO SEA.
Earthquake Causes Disturbance on
the British Columbia
Coast.

The whole crest of mountain over
mile in circumference slipped into
Coughborough inlet, 100 miles from
Vancouver, b. c., up the rocky Brit
ish ColuRbia coast. the other day
just before noon. The great slide
was the result of an earthquake,
which shook the surrounding district
for several seconds, and the resulting
shock of the falling mountain top
was apparent for long distance. In
stead of crunbling as it fell. the huge
mass of rock turned over and flung
itself far out into the bay The
splash caused a heavy sea for a
mile.
A tidal wave was formed which
would have meant destruction to any
vessel in its way; as it was, several
boats three miles away were piled
up on the beach and two booms of
logs ready to be sent to Vancouver
were thrown out of the water and
practically wrecked.

HARD TO ENTER JAIL.
Frenchman spends Twenty Four
Hosvs In an Effort to Ne
Arrested.

Charles Montoussy spent "a hours in
wing to get arrested at Paris the
other day and almost failed to succeed.
He had just left the Tenon hospital,
where he had had a leg cut off. He had
no i'll feeling against society which
places it's surgeons and its gendarmes
at the disposal of the socially disinher-
tied. Encouraged by his reception in
the hospital, he decided to continue his
inspection of social institutions by GO
ing to prison.
But how to get arrested? He took a
cab by the hour, drove about the Bois
de Boulogne for four hours, and then
said to the coachman: 81 have nc
money. Take me to the commissary of
police" But the cabman replied
-Four hours lost with you, and another
at the commissary of police-that will
make ive." and drove off.
Night was coming, and still Mon.
toussy had not been arrested He then
broke some glass which a glazier had
deposited outside the door of wine.
shop. The glazier left his drink and
came out to discuss the matter with
Montoussy. whom he pounded thor.
oughly. At last however. he was taken
to the police station.
In this he was in luck for if the
glazier had been stronger or more
evilly disposed it is probable that he
would have been taken back to the hos
pital. and his study of the prison
regime might have begun with the
amputation of his other leg. which
would have been a pity.

SILK FOR THE WORLD

Article on SILK Isaustry Of worla
Recently Published In French
Trade Paper Declares America
Will soon Lead the world.

According to Consul Covert at
Lyons, an article published in French
trade paper shows that the United
States is likely to take the lead among
the silk producers Of the world. Dur.
ing the last three years the consump-
tion Of raw silk in the United States
has exceeded that of France. The
trade paper says that the producing
power of the United States has equaled
that of France since 1897, land Amer.
ican mapufacture has q power Of ex-
pansion that ours does not possess"
Statistics show that the silk industry
is growing and extending and that
more people are wearing silk than ever
before. According to the French au-
thority already referred to, France
heads the list Of producers and the
United States OF America is pressing
hard for the first place.
In a report to the state department
on the ribbon trade of st. Etienne. Con-
sui Brunot says: "Just as surely as
American iron products-bridges ma
chinery, etc.-have found permanent
market in Europe. so will American
silks and other textile goods; and the
time has almost arrived"
limitations of American goods in
Sweden are doing great harm to the
American trade, says Consul Bergh. at
Gothenberg. in a report to the state de-
partment. He says that inferior forks
are sold by wholesale in Gothenberg as
American products, at price much
lower than the genuine American fork.
of which it is poor imitation, is Of
fered. That is only one sample of the
many German limitations offered for
sale in Sweden and represented to be
BEST American goods" The effect is
that the buyers soon discover that they
have bought articles not worth the
money. and blame the American manu-
facturers. The consul says that the
practice causes prejudice against
everything of American make. Sweden
has no law compelling the mark OF
origin to be placed on imported goods
The Swedish law says simply that for
eign-made imported goods shall not be
marked. stamped or branded so as to
make the purchaser believe that the
goods were manufactured in Sweden
