Notwithstanding stories to the con-
trary, there is nothing official to indi
cate any immediate change in the head
of the Pension Bureau. Commissioner
Evans says he has not resigned, has
not been asked to resign, and does not
intend to resign. Senator's urton, of
Kansas, saw President Mckinley in
behalf of a new Commissioner of Pen
sions, but did not receive any assur-
ance of a change, although he predicts
that there will be one soon.
There is a feeling of quiet satisfac-
tion in official circles over the knowl-
edge that the government has now at
its disposal a system of wireless tele-
graphy that is considered superior to
that of Marconi, whose extortionate
charges were bar to the adoption of
| his system, and which does not in
fringe upon the Marconi system. The
inventor of the system is Lieutenant
Colonel Reber, a member of the staff
of General Miles, who has made a spe-
cialty Of electrical matters for some
years. The Signal Corps of the Army
has thoroughly tested the Reber system
and the officers are enthusiastic about
i its merits, but under orders from Gen.
Greeley, Chief Signal Officer, they de-
| cline to make public any details of it's
| workings, and Col Reber also declines
to make public anything about his sys-
TEN. The possession of this system is
very fortunate, now that the Navy De-
| partment has practically decided that
all our warships shall be equipped with
apparatus for wireless telegraphy.

years ago numbered all the people OF
Wessex, Kent and Sussex. and among
them the royal line Of Cerd1c, with Al

Do not call him the creator or the

foundations; he made the growth and
development of England possible; Ae
gave US OurNfeet, our army, our insd-

or founded these things. His brother
had a fleet:sthere were English armies
before his time; there was code Of
laws before. his own; there was a for
eign trade; sthere were arts before Al
fred lived.
But everything had been destroyed.
and Alfred, in restoring and rebuilding,
renewed the foundations and made
things stable which before were IN
stable; placed on the solid rock of re-
ligion what had previously rested on.
the shifting sands Of tradition. His.
secret was the entire absence Of per-

worked for his people, and In working
for them alone he established his own

BIG PHoToeRApH PLATE.
Largest Ever Made Now Under Wa

Largest Ever Made Now Under Way
at st. Louis.
The largest photograph plate ever
made is being manufactured by a dry
plate company Of st. Louis. 1t is feet
long by 4 feet and inches wide and
three-eighths OF an inch In thickness.
says the New York Times. 1t will be
used by George Lawrence Of Chicago,
who from a balloon will make photo
graph Of St Paul and Minneapolis.
To make the plate it was necessary
for the company to procure new appa-
ratus Of enlarged dimensions. A great
marble slab larger than the plate was
the first requirement. Upon this the
plate is resting while the coating is
being applied. Large blocks of Ice be-
meath IT keep it at a temperature that
will cool the emulsion as rapidly as II
is applied.
The making OF such large plates is an
experiment, but the company says that
1t can be carried on successfully and
probably will become a new feature OF
the business.
