MARCONI RECEIVES SIGNALS
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN

81. Johns. y. F.. Dec. 15.-William
Marconi announced the mos, wonder
full scientific discovery of modern
times last night. in stating that had
received electric signals across the AT
lantic ecean from his station in Corn
wall England He explains that be
fore leaving England he made plans
for accomplishing this result, for while
his primary object was To communi-
cate with oean liners in mid-ocean, he
hoped also TO succeed in attaining the
wonderful scientific telegraphy across
the Atlantic
Si-nor Marconi's station in Cornwall
Is very powerful. He possesses an
electric force. generated there. a hun
dred times greater than his ordinary
stations. Before he left England he
arranged with the electrician in charge
of the station. which is located a;
Poldhu. that signals should be sent
daily after a certain date which Signor
Marconia would cable him afSer hay-
ing perfected his arrangements here.
Signor Marconii arrived here week
ago Friday. selected Signal hill, at the
entrance of the harbor, as an expert
mentinc station and moved his equip
ment there. Last Monday he cablei 10
the Poldhu station 10 begin sending
signals at 3 p. In. daily, and to con-
tinue them until 6 p. H.. these hours
being respectively IL 80 4. m and 253O
p. m, St Johns time. During these
hours Wednesday Signor Marconi ele-
vated a kite with an aerial wire, by
means of which signals are sent or re
ceived.
He remained at the recorder at
tached to the receiving apparatus, and
to his profound satisfaction signals
were received by him at intervals, ac-
cording to the program arranged pre-
viously with the operator al Poldhu.
These signals consisted of repeating al
intervals the letter So which, in Mar
coni's code. is made by three dots or
quick strokes.
This signal was repeated so fire.

COMMITTEE FINISHES
NEW RESERVOIR BILL

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 15.-(Denver
Republican Special)-The committee
which has been working since the
opening OF Congress on an irrigation
bill completed n measure yesterday
which will be submitted Wednesday
to meeting of western members.
when, if adopted, it will be introduced
in the Senate and House and be the
measure upon which all western mem
bers will stand in their efforts to Sc
cure government aid for arid land re-
clamation. The bill contains ten sec
tions. the main features Of each being
as follows:
One-Creation of n land reclamation
fund from sales of public lands in six
teen states and territories.
Two-Secretary OF interior to select
reservoir sites.
Three-Secretary to withdraw from
entry land to be irrigated.
Four-secretary to let contracts for
acre.
Five-Lands subjected to homestead
entry and payment of So an acre; en-
tries limited to eighty acres.
Six-Management and operation of
reservoirs to pass TO owners of land ir-
rigated when payments are made upon
a major part of lands.
Seven-When the water provided
shall be more than sufficient for irri-
CATION of irrigable public lands under
the project, perpetual water rights at
50 an acre may be sold for private
lands not exceeding rights for more
than eighty acres to any one land
owner.
Eight-Secretary of the interior is
authorized to acquire necessary prop
erty by condemnation proceedings in
United States or state courts.
Nine-Nothing in the act is to inter
fere with the laws of any state or ter
ritory relating to rights TO the appro-
priation of water or its distribution for
irrigation. State and territorial laws
to govern appropriation and distribu-
ton of water rendered available by the
act, beneficial use to be the basis and
measure and limit of right to use such
water.
Ten-Secretary of the interior is au-
thorized TO make rules and regulations
to carry the act into effect.
Western members are fairly we'll
pleased with the measure, but 1t is
pointed out by some that while the bill
recites that there shall be no interfer-
ence with state laws, other provisions
of the bill provide methods of proceed
ure for the secretary Of the interior in
conflict with such state laws.

WILL ADVISE SCHLEY

Baltimore, Md. Dec. 15.-Isador
Rayner showed keen disappointment
when the findings of the court of in
quiry were communicated TO him here.
He announced that he would go to
Washington as soon as his engage
ments will permit, and he will counsel
Admiral Schley to fight the case to n
finish by every appeal that is possible,
In an interview he said:
II would prefer now not to say any
thing in connection with the opinion.

mously accept Admiral Dewey's judg-
ment. The testimony was SO over
whelming upon almost every one of
the specifications in favor of Admiral
Schley that must confess I am utter
ly at loss TO understand upon what
facts or upon the evidence of what wit
nesses the other two members of the
court reached their conclusion.
Il am absolutely satisfied that the
opinion of the two judges is at total
variance with the opinion of the coun-
try, and that this will not by any
means terminate the controversy. l
shall advise the admiral TO fight it TO a
finish, to open it by every appeal that
is possible. congressional or otherwise
and 1 believe that the sentiment of the
whole country will uphold Inn in his
resolve not to let the judgment stand"

Philadelphia. Dec. ia storm
which. for severity and destructive
ness, has not been equaled in this sec
ton for twenty-five years. visited east
ern and central Pennsylvania last
night, causing almost unprecedented
damage and resulting in the loss of at
least four human lives.
The havoc in the coal regions Is enor-
nous. and the loss to railroad and min
ing companies will amount TO millions
of dollars.
The Schuylkill. Lehigh. Susquehanna
and Juanita rivers have risen as highas
fifteen feet above their levels, and all
of their tributaries have overfiowed,
inundating the surrounding country in
more than a dozen counties.
Innumerable washouts have occurred
on the Pennsylvania, Philadelphia &
Reading. Northern Central. Lehigh
Valley, New Jersey Central and Lacka-
wanna railroads. Bridges We're carried
away and traffic is at n standstill. The
delegates to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor are
storm bound at Scranton with no idea
of when they will be able to leave.
New York. Dec. 15.-Warm weather

resulted in general damage all over
New York state. Saturday the snow in
the northern section thawed rapidly,

and the valleys We're inundated.
Heavy rain followed during the night,
accompanied by winds Of great yeloc-
ity. Trains We're blocked for many
hours. landslides Were frequent and in
the low lands and valleys hundreds of
dwellings were flooded. while the dam
age to farm lands and buildings is very
great Few lives so far have been re-
ported as lost.
Green River. Wyo.. Dec. 15.-Andrew
Christensen, who runs $500 sheep
north of Green River, came in yester-
day and reported that all fiocks in that
section are lost, together with n num-
ber of herders. The storm, he says,
was the worst he ever saw in this
state. He believes the loss among
sheep will be heavy.
Billings, Mont. Dec. 15.-Eastern
Montana has been enveloped in one of
the heaviest snowfalls ever known. The
snow averages from two TO six feet
deep on the level and railroad travel
will be interrupted for the next few
days.
The thermometer is twenty degrees
below zero here tonight. with n strong
north wind blowing, which will drive
it from ten to twenty degrees lower by
morning. All stock on the open prairie
is suffering frightfully and unless the
weather changes some within the next
twenty-four hours losses will be great

tFrom the Cardiff Times)


Among the Thousands OF voluntary
endorsements of the great value OF ~.
Jacobs OIL for sprains. stiffness ana
soreness, is that OF Mrs. G. Ihomas'
Alexandra Road, Cell. Ysbrod, near
Pontypridd. South Wales, who says;
at is with great pleasure that add
my wiling testimony to the inValuaoie
excellence OF your celebrated st ia
cobs Oil. as experienced in my own
case. / sprained both my ankles IN

months. The pain suffered was most
severe and nothing that | used helped

they Immediately became better daiiy'
and In a short time | was able TO go
about, and soon after j was quite

wise all persons suffering from pains
to use this wonderful remedy, which
did so much for me"
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten u3
as to what treatment she pursued DUR
ing the months she was unable to
stand. and during which time she was
suffering so much. but we venture TO
suggest that had she called in any
well-snown medical man he would
have at once prescribed st. Jacobs OIL.
for II has conquered pain upwards OF
ffty years, and doctors know there Is
nothing SO good. The proprietors OF
st. Jacobs oil have been awarded
twelve gold medals by different inter-
national exhibitions as the premier
pain killing remedy of the world. The
committees who made the awards were
In each instance composed largely OF
the most eminent medical men OBJ
tainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did
not know the high opinion in which
St. Jacobs Oil is held by almost every
progressive medical man.

, orlantly and so in accordance with the
detailed plan arranged to provide safe
guards against possibility of mistake.
that Signor Marconi was satisfied that
it was a genuine transmission from
England.
Again on Thursday during the same
hours the kite was elevated and the
same signals We're renewed This made
the assurance so complete that Signor
Marconi cabled 10 hs principals in
England, also informed the governor Of
Newfoundland. Sir Cavendfsh Boyle,
who apprised the British Cabinet Of
the success of the experiments.
Signor Marconi. though satisfied of
the genuineness of the signals and that
he has succeeded in his attempts in es-
tablishing communication across the
Atlantic without the use of wires, en-
phasizes the fact that the system is yet
only in an embryonic state and that
the possibility of its ultimate develop
menr is demonstrated by the success
of the present experiments with incom-
plete and imperfect apparatus. as the
signals can only be received by the
most sensitively adjusted apparatus,
and Signor Marconi is working under
great difficulties, owing to the condi-
tons prevailing.
The Cornwall coast is 100 miles
from St. Johns.
In view of the success attending
these trials Signor Marconi will. for the
present. disregard the matter of COM
municaung with Transatlantic steam
ers. He will return 10 England next
week, and will conduct the expert
ments from Poldhu himself.
He explains that the greater electri-
cal power there will enable him to
send more effective signals. He will
undertake this work himself. leaving
assistants here to erect n mast and re-
ceive the signals as he forwards them.
II is not possible TO send return signals
from here until powerful electric bat
tery shall have been installed.

SIZE OF STARS.
Ingenious Comparison of Magnitudes and

Distances.
Professor Eric Doolittle of the Uni
yersity of Pennsylvania. in his recent
public lecture on Double Star Astron-
omy" introduced very clever and
useful representation of the compara-
tive size of our solar system. He said
that if a globe two feet in diameter be
taken to represent the sun the earth
on the same scale would be represent
ed by very small pea. placed in
circular path 21J feet distant from it.
The moon would be the same minia-
ture system be represented by n shot
moving about the pea and six inches
from ii. There would be seven other
particles revolving about the large
globe, the seven other planets, but
these are not considered i'll the model.
but. then comes the inconceivable mag
nitude of tile heavens. the nearest fixed
star would be represented by another
large globe placed 5000 miles away.

Somehow, the discussion as to the
effect of a college education on young
woman's social development will not
down. Here is the dean of Barnard
suggesting that between the second
and third years of the college course
the girl student should be sent home
for little round OF social experience.
The chances are that this suggestion
will meet the views of the girl stu
dents
