sTUART's "cooN" SONGS.
The Composer of "FIorodora" Tells
His Experience.

The Composer of ssFI0rOdora" Tells
His Experiences.
Leslie Stuart, composer of the music
Of ''Florodora," who lately came to
this country, is also known in England
as writer Of popular songs; at least
he enjoyed considerable reputation IN
that line before he undertook more Sc
rious things in the way of musical
comedies.
When the negro melodies. or ''coon
songs" as they are colloquially termed
in this country, became the vogue
some years ago. a number of them
were heard in the London music halls
and became SO popular that MIR. Stuart
thought to try his talent in composing
ragtime music.
II soon mastered the new time to my
own satisfaction" said Mr.. Stuart the
other day, "but / was all at sea for
titles and subjects for my first song. |
secured a map of the United States
and found that Idaho was by far the
best rhyming state, SO in q few days
My Girl From Idaho was ready to be
sung. sent 1t to a popular singer in
the music halls, and the audience that
heard it seemed to like 1t. The next
day the following message was sent to
the theater and later turned over to
me. II was signed AN Idaho Amerl-
cam and read:
'You blasted Englishman. don't you
know there Isn't coon in all the state
Of Idaho? But there are girls In Idaho.
They can't shuttle their feet; they can't
all sing. But they can shoot and, Lord.
how they'd like to havesyou for a tar
get!'
"I'm going to see your west" said
Mr.. Stuart ''but I'm going to steer
clear of Idaho"

work through the ground. A CORE
spondent of the Manchester Guardian
who was present at recent experiments
says that he went to small wooden
house where a spike bearing the tele-
phoning apparatus was driven into the
ground. In field 400 yards away was
q similar apparatus unconnected. He
pressed the button four times, and
there were sounded four taps as an an
swer. He pressed the button seven
times, and seven taps were sounded.
Through the same apparatus he heard
the human voice, but the apparatus
certainly was not working well, the
ground being sodden with rain, but aft
er preliminary and unintelligible NUT
tering and buzzing came the words, re-
peated again and again, us it all
rightY' Mr.. Armstrong has a plan for
varying the pitch or tone in which the
radiations are sent. There are 10000
pitches or tones. Different tones pass
harmlessly by one another. Thus the
chances Of one tone meeting or nullify-
ing another tone are 10000 to 1. Other
experiments gave wireless control to
torpedoes from land sou yards away. A
new development OF this invention
might render obsolete the finest fortifi-
cations, and the new submarines, need
ing no crew, would be converted into
torpedoes. Again Mr.. Armstrong press
es button in the house, and an un-
connected lamp two miles and half
away instantly lights. When he press
es the button again, the light is extin-
guished. Unlike Tesla's experiments,
Armstrong; feats are accomplished
with very low voltage.

FARMERS I'M COMBINE.

Kansas Wheat Growers Planning to
Raise Prices.
a gigantic scheme Is lnaterlalizipg
