Perfection Of Tuning.


"a receiver will only take a message

Next Experiment at Sen.
Halifax, n. S., Dec. 27.-The steamer
Bruce, with Mr.. Marconi on board, has
arrived at North sydney Mr.. Marconi
was met by Mr.. Smith OH behalf of the
Canadian government, Premier Murray
of the Nova Scotia government ana
Mayor Mckenzie of North sydney. Mr..
Marconi and the government represent
rtives held Il short conference, and Mr..
Marconi afterward expressed desire
to place on record his appreciation OF
the courtesy shown him by the Cana
dian government and Its desires to
further his experiments.
He thinks 1t probable that spot in
Cape Breton will be selected for a
permanent station and says the point
chosen must be from 1919 to 200 feet
above the sea line. Premier Murray
thinks Louisburg, Mira or the Sydneys
would be suitable places.
Mr.. Marconi will remain in Cape Bre-
ton few days and then proceed to OF
tawa. Manager MoXham has offered
the inventor the use of his estate at
Sydney. Mr.. Marconi said it was not
probable that he would resume experi-
ments in Newfoundland.
As to the present stage of his experi-
ments in telegraphing across the ATTAIN
tie, Mr.. Marconi stated that up to the
present only one letter, continuously
repeated, had been received

Mr. Givins, believes that the central
portion OF the city should have asphalt

laying asphalt pavements would be un.
bearably great believing that the work
would necessitate the tearing up Of all
the streets paved with cObblc stones.
In some cities asphalt has been laid on
cObble stones with satisfactory results.

1t Is with pleasure that we call the
attention OF the trade, ana private fam
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter Of undoubted purity and of the
finest quality, we are now bOttling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants ana
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture of malt liquors has re-
suited in an inquiry for an article of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything Of harmful or deleter!-
Gus nature, ana ut q price that would
commend Its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers TO purchase imported
goods nj high price.
Therefore We are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
uneXcelled in quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, at much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops in the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
TO offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty Of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods Of

cipal hotels. restaurants and druggists.
