Resolved. That the thanks OF this committee
are due and are hereby extended to the American
National Red Gross. Miss Clara Barton President
for the substantial and cheerful assistance re-
eeived from that association through its able and
accommodating representative. Mr. Fred L. Ward
The honor and pleasure Of transmitting this
resolution vas bestowed upon the chairman of
the committee. Mrs. Rosine RYAN.
We have taken great pride in the action Of
the Legislature OF State, prompted by our
Governor and have read with pleasure Miss Bar
tons reply. but felt that in closing our
lief station. which has been kept continuously
open since September and before finally disbaud
ing we, too, should express heartfelt graft
tude.
The name of Clara Barton has ever been a
cherished one in our Southland and the Red
Gross the synonym of the most noble charity
But those Of who have modestly labored in
the same desolate field of the September storm
better appreciate the devotion to her holy
cause, the sacrifice to health and comfort. the
ever-srstaining strength given to the stunned and
heartbroken, the counsel. bonn of the wisdom OF
a wide experience, given to the brave people
of the stricken land by Clara Barton aud the
little band of men and women who came with
her. Those will never be forgotten by grateful
people.
At our station the assistance in the way Of
clothing and financial aid has been a tower Of
strength" during the winter. when other sources
of supplies. those of the Red Cross the
international sunshine Society. and the Houston
Post" had ceased
We therefore deem it fitting close to our labor
of love TO thus extend the grateful hand of fra
ternal love to the Red Cross of America.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY PLANS.
Weather bureau to Add n Third Ex-
pertinent station.

The wireless telegraphy experiments be-
ing conducted by the Weather Bureau on
the North Atlantic Coast have awakened
no little interest on the part of the gen.
eral public. and Chief Moore is called upon
daily for information in regard to the
work. However. the work as yet is in an
embryonic stage. and it will be some time
before results will be obtained.
There are to be three stations The two
now completed are at Hatteras and At
Roanoke Island. while one Will shortly
he erected at cape Henry. After con-
Quoting extensive Investigations the Gov
eminent experts found that the most eff
feCtive mode for the transmission was
by wire cylinders Each station viii be
equipped with cylinders of sixteen wires
each and 40 feet in length. These cylin-
ders 1t is expected will cover a magnetic
field of 500 miles When the stations are
completed ii is expected that they will be
able to signal ships at sea and warn them
of approaching storms This will not be
possible. however, unless the vessels are
equipped with receivers. and as ii will
doubtless be some time before merchant
ships are provided with these Instruments
their utility in this direction will not be
realized very soon.
